The Draft He Made Upon the Deposit in
His Mothers Bank.
When we left Boston for so1ourn in
the country, says q writer In the Boston
Transcript, grandpa gave each of the
lads twenty-five cents apiece to spend
while away.
During our whole journey in the
steam-csrs Paul's whole conversation
was Of the many purchases he proposed
to mako, and no sooner had the lumber
ing stage coach deposited US at our
destination than he slipped away from
me md ran to the cornerstone, return
ing with fifteen cents worth of sticky
country molasses candy and dime.
condscated the candy, with view
to doing it out in limited quantities
from time to time, and persuaded him
TO deposit the dime in my snpcket-book,
telling him that 1t would be just like
depositing the money in the bank; that
would keep it for him; that any time
when he really wanted it he could come
to me and draw it out.

that the supply of loose coin had notice.
ably diminished. At first / could not
account for it, but after little thought
concluded to question the small boy.
Calling him to me, said:
Paul, did you take your ten cents
out OF mammals pooket-book?"
Yes, mamma! / have token it out
four times, and now / want it again.

ne nog, however: Is better on than
this, and has forty-four. So have the
opossum and mole. The river dolphin
OF South America lays far beyond this,
however. having no less than 222 teeth.
Teeth are not part of the skeleton, but
belong to the appendages, like skin and
hair.
The sturgeon is toothless and draws in
its food by suction, but the shark has
hundreds of teeth set in rows that some
times number ten
HOLSTERS and crabs masticate their
food with their horny jaws, but they
have also sets of teeth in their stom-
achs, where they complete the work OF
chewing. But there is one peculiar
kind of crab, called the king or horse
shoe crab, which chews its food with its
legs. This is an actual fact, the little
animal grinding its morsels between it's
thighs before it passes them over to its
mouth.
The jelly fish absorbs its food by
wrapping itself around the object which
it seeks to make its own. The star
fish is even more accommodating.
Fastening itself to the body it wishes
to feed on, it turns its stomach inside
out and enwraps its prey with this use
full organ.
Dogs seize thcir food with their Jaws,
cats with their feet, and so do monkeys,
some of them pressing their prehcnsile
tails into service. The squirrel uses it's
paws to carry its food to Its mouth, tho
elephant its trunk, tho giraffe, ant
cater and toad their tongues.

jaws, which are sharp enough to give
quito a nip.
Grasshoppers and locusts are very
well provided with the necessary ma
chinery for eating much and often.
They have saw-like jaws, and gizzards,
too, the latter being fitted out with
horny teeth.
The caterpillar feeds with two saw
edged jaws, working transversely, and
uses them to such good advantage that
he eats three or four times his own
weight every day.
Toads, tortoises, turtles and most
lizards have no teeth. Frogs have teeth
in their upper jaw only. Anteaters,
sloths and armadillos have no teeth
The lion and the tiger, and, indeed,
most of the carnivora, do not grind
their food, using their jaws only up and
down, the molars acting like chopping
knives, or rather, scissors. Their
mouths, in fact, are a veritable hash
mill
Strange and curious as some of these
modes of feeding are, however, they
none of them compare in simplicity and
effectiveness with that practiced by the
tapeworm. This creature has neither
mouth nor stomach, but just lays along
and absorbs the already digested food
through its skin.

One great cause Of failure of young
men in business is lack of concentra-
ton. They are prone to seek outside
investments. The cause of many a sur
prising failure lies in SO doing. Every
dollar Of capital and credit, every bust
ness thought should be concentrated
upon the one business upon which a
man has embarked. He should never
scatter his shot 1t is poor business
which will not yield better returns for
increased capital than any outside in
vestment. No man or set of men or cor
poration can manage a business mans
capital as we'll as he can manage it him
self. The rule, do not put all your
eggs in one basket" does not apply to
mans life-work. Put all your eggs in
one basket, and then watch that basket,
is the true doctrine-the most valuable
rule of all. While business of all
kinds has gone, and is still going rapid
ly, into few vast concerns, it is never
theless demonstrated every day that
genuine ability, interested in the pro-
uJS, Is nOI only valuable Dut 1ndlS-
pensable to their successful operation.
Through corporations whose shares are
sold daily upon the market; through
partnerships that find IL necessary to
interest their ablest workers; through
merchants who can manage their vast
enterprises successfully only by inter
esting exceptional ability; in every
quarter Of the business world, avenues
greater in number, wider in extent,
easier of access than ever before ex-
listed, stand open to the sober, frugal,
energetic and able mechanic, to scien-
tifcally educated youth, to the Office
boy and to the clerk-avenues through
which they can reap greater successes
than were ever before within the reach
of these classes in the history Of the
world
When, therefore, the young man, in
any position or in any business, ex-
plains and complains that he has not
opportunity to prove his ability and to
rise to partnership, the answer suffices:
The fault. dear Brutus, is not In our stars,
But In ourselves, that We are underlings,

There are three great rocks ahead Of
the practical young man who has his
foot upon the ladder and is beginning to
rise, writes Andrew Carnegie, In the
New York Tribune. First, drunken
ness, which, Of course, is fatal. There
Is no use IN wasting time upon any
young man who drinks liquor, no matter
how exceptional his talents. Indeed,
the greater his talents are the greater
the disappointment must be. The Sec
ond rock ahead is speculation. The
business OF speculator and that OF
manufacturer or man of affairs are not
only distinct but incompatible, To be
successful in the business world the
manufacturers and the merchants
profits only should be sought. The
manufacturer should go forward stead
lily, meeting the market price. When
there are goods to SELL sell them;
when supplies are needed, purchase
them, without regard to tho par
ket price in either case. ] have

facturer or business man who scored a

bankrupt the next, Besides this, the
manufacturer aims TO produce articles,
and in so doing to employ labor. This

this vocation is useful to his kind, The
merchant is usefully occupied distribu-
ting commodities; the banker in pro-
vidinG capital. The third rock is akin
to speculation -indorsin& Business
men require irregular supplies of
money. AZ some periods little, at others
enormous sums. Others being in the
same condition there is strong tempta-

should be avoided. There are emer-

that VIII keep enc safe. No man should

another IL he has not sufficient to pay it
without detriment to his own business.

Iessly into an eatng-house and sat down
earn that cent? Is that's all millionaire
is good for?"
The waiter brought him the things he
ordered, but he could not eat. He rose
from the table.

NO money! exclaimed the waiter.
Then what did you come in here for?
Here, boys! Lend hand. Well fire
this deadbeat down the inclined plane"
In the twinkling of an eye he was
seized by four stalwart men, hurried to
the rear of the building, and tossed out
on well-greased toboggan slide With
the rapidity of lightning he shot down,
down, down! The wind whistled in his
ears and took away his breath The
blood froze in his veins with horror.
Suddenly, with fearful bump, he
found himself again at the foot of the
tree. He had fallen into doze-that
was all. The little old man and the
frightful experiences of long halliday
had only existed in dream, compressed
into the limits of a few short minutes.
He was no useless millionaire trying
vainly to earn cent. He was strong,
healthy, active workman, able to earn a
living Tor himself and family. With a
light heart he sprang to his feet. and
among all the men who 1abored with
him that day there was none more
cheerful and gay than this poor work.

WEDNESDAY. JUNE 25, 1880.
AN OBSTINATE OLD MAN

An old man lived all alone, all alone,
And jolly old man was he.
He was ruddy and fat and sleek as q rat
And his leg was q good thing to see.
His chest was round. his liver was sound,
And his voice had q chord Of CLEO
Ashc sang TO himself while he counted his pelfi
"Oh, hoi
I'm q hearty and hale old man,
All, hal
Such sturdy and we'll old mani"
Not q chick nor o child had he in the worlds
Though his Golfers were full Of goldi
He had money In chest In trousers, IN vest
From his pockets the big dollars rolled,
He owned miles Of land and palaces grand.
And IA bank had thousands untold
So no sang all the while, with q confident
smile;
"Oh, hoi
I'm Likely and peart old man,
All, hal
Such n merry and brisk old mani"
His brothers waited and longed IN vain,
And for years I ween o score
They would meet each day and pleasantly say:
''Thc old man is right at Deaths door"
Then the first one slept and he never wept,
But ne laughed and sang the more,
And he gayly cried when the last one died:
''Oh, hoi
I'm healthy and long-lived man,
All, hal
Such a vigorous, sound old mani"
Each night his nephews and nicces dreamt
OF how rich they were going to grow,
And they loved TO hint: I'VE will never stint
When our ship comes in, you know"
But grieve TO tell, he kept hale and well
While the years went dragging slow,
And he cackled loud DER the last ones shroudI
"Oh, hoi
I'm a hardy and stout old man,
All. hal
Such lusty and tough old man"
And he is living yet all alone by himself,
This man am singing about,
OH his eye is bright and his step 10 light,
And his voice is CHEEKY and stout;
His cheeks are red and he holds up his head
In Q way that puts death 70 rout,
So can't see why he should ever die
OH dear,
Such O healthy and well old man,
Ali me,
Such an obstinate, tough old mani

Potato in the Rutter

A lady went to one of the groceries in
Wildwood, Fla, and bought two pounds
of butter that had been bought in the
country by the merchant. When the
nice yellow lump was cut in two there
was found in the center of it a large
Irish potato, nicely peeled and carefully
covered over with butter.
