Mind Your own business

Keep your mind on your share of the
work; donot try to manage for the whole
firm. remember a man who used to
amuse me very much. He never earned
moro than $50 week until he had passed
90 years of age, and during his married
life his wife had earned more than he
had. Yet he would grow intensely ex-
cited because large and exceedingly
prosperous corporation would not adopt
his plans, though his connection with 1t
was paying his fare as passenger on It's
cars. The firm employing him would,
if managed by him, grow wealthy in q
year, he insisted. Still the firm dispensed
with his valuable services and were able
to conduct business. That man had been
so busy all his business life planning
affairs with which he had no connection
that he really had no time to think Of his
personal work. He was not lazy, buth
did not know enough to mind his own
business. Christian Union.

ECOunnnH.


Many people would be economical il
they knew how. 1t is an art to practice
economy. To do it we'll one must know
the art. All can have 1t if they viii. 1t
is an arithmetical art. 1t is the conclu-
sion of numbers. All must live and
ought to live well, but how to live best
at the least expense is the work of fig
ures to tell. We must count the cost Of
ways and means and compare them.
Many people use expensive articles of
food and dress when cheaper ones would
be in every way better and more service
able. Especially in regulating the table
expenses is there great want Of econo-
my. A little useful information con-
corning the qualities Of food, the amount

tain, the wants of the human system,
and the best way of cooking, would oft
en- save fully one-third, and, in many in
stances, half the expense. A wise econo.

health, and in this way saves time,

A Handsome Cloolx.

One Of the most beautiful and costly
clocks ever made was sent many years
ago by the East India company as q gift
to the Emperor of China. The case was
made in the form Of chariot, in which
was seated the figure Of woman, with
her right hand resting on the top Of a
tiny clock, which was placed in the side
Of the carriage Some of the wheels that
moved the clock were concealed in the
body Of a bird that had seemingly alight-
ed upon the lady's finger. Over her head
was an umbrella that concealed a silver
BELL This, although it seemed to have
no connection with the timepiece, struck
the hours, and it could be made to repeat
by touching diamond button fixed be-
low the dial of the clock. AT the feet of
the lady's figure was u golden dog, and In
front of her were two birds that were
apparently flying before the chariot
This exquisite clock, with all its neces-
sary parts, was made of gold, and was
most deliberately ornamented with pre-
cious stones.--Jewelers Circular.

Omitting lakes, which are Nin many
cases natural reservoirs, the largest res
ervoir or artificial lake in the worldsis
the great tank Of Dhebar, twenty miles
southeast of Udaipur city, Rajputana
province, India. 1t covers an area Of
twenty-one square miles. The masonry
dam is 1000 feet long by 95 feet high; so
feet wide at the base and is at the top.
In southern India, also, there are some
immense reservoirs. That Of Cumbum
in Cuddapath district is formed by dam
ming the Gundlalamana river by dam
81 feet high thrown between two hills.
The reservoir has an area of fifteen square
miles. The Sulekere reservoir in Mysore
state is very little smaller, and next to
Cumbum is the finest in southern India.
Compared with these artificial lakes,
Loeb Katrine (supplying Glasgow, four
and one-half square miles, and Vyrnwy
reservoir Supplying LIVERPOOL, nearly
two square miles, are insignificant in
size. The Manchar tank in Scinde has
an area Of 1870 square miles, but only
when fed by the waters of the river dur
ing the months of cd. In dry months
it shrinks to quite small area. New

Happy Heligolandl The population OF
this tiny but favored isle-now number
ing $500 souls--is reported to be increas-
ing; so is the revenue, which amounts tc
e4,295. More satisfactory still, this flour
ishing possession had at the close Of 1885,
absolutely no liabilities beyond sum Of
e10, and even that was only outstanding
because the account was somehow pre-
sented too late for payment within the
year. Altogether, Helgoland sets al
excellent example to It's neighbors, and
this Is the more noticeable because there
was a time when it Jared far otherwise.

A Eorehanded Yankee.

A New Hampshire boy, several years
before the war, found himself in Little
Rock, Ark, then one of the Indian
agencies. He began as clerk and then
became merchant on his own account
Long before the war actually commenced
he comprehended the political situation,
and in 1860, when he felt sure his state,
with other southern states, would secede,
he proceeded to dispose of his large stock
and invested the same in cotton. He
further took the precaution to secure
afddavits to prove his northern birth and
his northern sympathies. When the
south was actually invaded his Con-
federate friends in Little Rock laughed
at him, telling him that the Yanks
would confiscate his cotton. He said
nothing.
When the Union invading force
reached Little Rock his cotton, amount
ing to several thousand bales, was seized
and sent north on government account.
After little he succeeded in getting
through the Confederate lines, and ar
rived in New York about the time his
cotton arrived He at once presented
his papers to the government. They re-
leased his cotton. He sold it on the rise
of the market, say at $3.50 per pound.
Its cost averaged him about six cents.
The transportation to New York cost
him nothing. Today he occupies one of
the most elegant mansions in Concord,
N. H., ON the site of the ancestral home
stead, has but one child. and has an an
nual income of several thousands. --Bos-

Hent OF the MOON.

A problem of great interest in physics
and astronomy, on which Tyndall, Lord
Roose and Professor Langley labored in
vain, has been solved, and trustworthy
evidence at last been obtained as to the
thermal value Of moonlight. This has
been accomplished by Mr.. G. V. Bows.
one of the professors at South Kendng-
ton, who, by means of his quartz fla
ments has produced thermopiIe of al
most incredible delcacy. BY this ap-
paratus he can render sensible the heat
of candle up to the distance Of a mile
and three-quarters, and by directing the
minute disk of the instrument to the
moon he has shown that the warmth re-
ceived from its reflected light is equal to
that given out by candle at twenty-one
feet distance. The result accords with
the anticipations Of Professor Piazzi
Smyth. Observations seems to show that,
although the moons face is under the
blaze of an unclouded sun for fourteen
days, it remains comparatively cool, and
that whatever heating it does ultimately
receive is rapidly gained and as rapidly
lost.-London Standard

There are two young men In this city
who have roomed together for some time
past, but who now don't speak as they
pass by. There never was any warm
friendship between them, their tastes and
habits being very dissimilar, but they
roomed together for reasonsof economy.
Upon taking the room it was divided into
two equal portions by drawing chalk
line across the floor, each agreeing to
confine himself to his own half of the
room. They soon got used to this and
when, in the course of time, the chalk
mark became obliterated, 1t was not
necessary to renew it, SO accustomed fad
they become to keeping within their re-
spective bounds.
All went well until one Sunday, when
visitor called on one Of the young men.
The other one was out, and the visitor.
knowing nothing about the division of
the room, seated himself In the portion
belonging to the absent man. When the
latter returned and found him there he
grufiy ordered him to go TO his friends
side Of the chamber. Then the fires of
hatred which had smoldered so long
broke out, and a roughrand-tumble fight
ensured between the two room mates,
with the result that they now occupy
separate apartments. ~ Washington Star.
