PEOPLE WHO SAVE.
Building aud Realty.

Binding aud Realty.
The question is often asked How
is it that the Hollinders, who, rs q
class, receive but a dollar or ten
shillings q dav, can on that small
sum support a larger family and
in few years have homes of their
own3 To the average American
this is coHundrum that is given up
at once. The fact nevertheless re-
mains that this has been many
years done And the secret is
found in the fact that, as a rule, the
women have entire charge of the
family finances. AT the end of the
week the heal of the family takes
his envelope, containing all of his
wages home TO his wife, and she
takes from this sum a dollar for ex-
ample and that goes to the family
sinking fund, and the family are
obliged to live on the balance, the
same as if that had been the to-
til SUN earned. In this way the
family are alway ahead aud have q
balance on the right side, and in a
few years, as result of this method,
enough has been saved to buy u
home or to make long strides in
that direction. This principle has
for years been adopted by the
French people.
The consequences was that when
the. French nation was called upon
to pay the enormous sum demand
ed by the Germans each family
stocking was called upon and the
amount paid so easily that all the
world wondered. III this country
this principle of saving small sums
has been taken up and adopted by
our loan associations and the same
beneficial results come to all who
invest their savings in this way.
How true it is that if you take care
of pennies the dollars will take care
of themselves Our great fault, as
nation, has been that we have re.
fused to recognize and live by this
rule. The result is that for many Of
our people it is always hard times.
They blame the time rather than
themselves. But the way to COM
frrt and home is open to all who
will work and save. Save some.
thing, no matter how little, and the
habit once established will do all
the rest of the work.

THE BLOOM UPON THE BRANCH
ny ROBERT BURNS WILSON.


Tho bloom upon tho branch must die
Before the tree can bear;
1t is the truth that wakes the sigh
And hope that brings despair.
The sun that paints the flower to-day
Will fade the flower tomorrow;
The longest Joys will pass away
And end at last in sorrow.
II IN that thought informs the mind
That souls are filled with fear;
II is that nature Is unkird
That starts the bitter tear.
The passing air by which We live
Still bears our breath away;
The hand which INTO lifo doth give,
Prepares tho bed of clay.
The brighter beams the steady light,
The darker is all tho shade;
The colors most divinely bright
Are still the first to fade.
1t is because all ties must part
That farewell words are spoken;
1t is the love that fills the heart
BY which the heart IL broken.

A CREMoNA IN PENsACoLA.-It is
not generally known that Mr.. G,
Neri. of this city, is the possessor
of genuine Cremona violin, but
the lack of a general knowledge
on that score doesn't alter the fact.
He purchased the instrument at
an auction sale in Pensacola twen-
~ years ago, paying $1.75 for it.
The auctioueer was the once we'll
known, now deceased, S. MyersOn,
in those days the local Cteap John.

New MODE OF WAsHINd.-The i'll
effects OF soda on linen have given
rise to new method OF washing
which has been extensively adopt
ed in Germany and introduced in
Belgium. The operation consists
in dissolving tUo pounds of soap
IN about three gallons of water as
hot a. the hand can bear and add
ing to this one tablespoonful OF
turpentine and three OF amOuia.
The mixture must then be stirred,
and the linen stepped in II for two
or three hours taking care 10 cover
up the vessel containing them as
nearly hermelrically AS | ossibIe.
The clothes ara afterwards washed
out and rinsed in the usual way.
The soap and water may be re-
heated and used a second time, but
in that case half tablespoonful OF
lurpenline and tablespoonful of
amOnia must be added. The pro-
cess is said 10 cause a great econ
Omy Of time, labor and fuel. The
linen scarcely suffers at all, as
there is little necessity for rub
bing. and its cleanliness and color
are perfect. The ammonia and
turpentine, although their deter
siye action is great. have no in-
furious effect upon the linen, and
while The former evaporates I'M
medialely, the smell OF the latter
is saId to disappear entirely during
the dryiHg of the cloi hing.

A politician will ride any hobby
to catch votes. l don't believe that
the solid people of the north,
the business men and tax payers,
favor this pension plumber, but they
cant stop it. These annual meet
ings of the Great Army of the Re.
pnblic may have a little patriotism,
but are mainly for politics and
plumber. More than half of the
Grand Army were foreign hirelings
and substitutes who fought for the
money and nothing else, and these
fellows who are drawings most of
the pensions are hospital rats
and camy-folOwers and teamsters,
who got sick easy, and have played
sick aud disabled ever since. Their
numbers prove what a set they
were, nearly 6,O00.0O0 against 7OO.-
900, and they have nearly 6,000, 600
pensioners still alive and kicking.
