KEEPING A DAY-BOOK.

Its Aalue as a Check on Reckless or Fool
ish Expenditure.
SoAe boys and girls spend every cent
theyreceive on candy, toys and trifles;
others save every cent, with a vague
ideaof amassing fortune. Neither of
theS methods is to be commended. The
realvalue and proper use of money is
to purchase enjoyment and it is equally
wrong to squander or hoard.
Money should always be expended to
advantage and that involves prudence
in elrning, spending and saving.
Aprudent boy will buy nothing that
he does not need, and he will always buy
the best for his money. He will learn
to shop as the girls do-that is, look
around until he is quite certain that
some other article will not suit him bet
ter
Perhaps the greatest check on reck-
less or foolish expenditure is a day
book. How many boys know what that
is OF have used one?
We know of a bright boy who has for
three years kept day-book, in which
he entered every cent that passed
through his hands. All money that he
earns or receives from any source is en-
tered in the credit column, and all
money expended during the day is set
down in the debit column. Every week
the book is balanced.
1t requires about five or ten minutes
in the evening of each day to set down
the items of daily expenditure, and per-
haps fifteen minutes at the end of the
week to balance the book.
The value of this book is two-fold. 1t
shows boy "where his money is gone"
without any scratching of his ear or
knitting of his brow, and it also acts as
a check on foolish expenditure.
When he foots up his debts" at
night he will be ashamed to enter
candy" or cigarettes" three or four
tines and the next day when he is
fAehPted he will think of his day-book
snd refrain.
You can save money bykeeping day
book, because the little items count up
in way that surprise you and instruct
you. And it does not have tendency
to make you stingy or mean; on the con-
trary, it gives you more money to spend
on actual necessities. And it inculcates
business habits that may be of great
value in after life.
10 the girls these remarks equally APP
ply. AS rule they are not tempted to
useless expenditure like their brothers,
but no doubt they spend many dollar
foolishly, which they could save by
keeping day-book. At any rate, the
experiment is worth trying.

THE official journal of the Belgian
Patriotic league against alcoholism
gives serious epitome of disastrous re-
suits arising from the expenditure in
one year in Belgium of $4,000, 600
francs on alcoholic beverages. Among
these consequences are so per cent. Of

TIE prevalence oc drunkenness in
Russia is said to have become so great an
to attract the attention of all Europe. In
Odessa alone during the past year 300
deaths have been directly due to the use
of intoXicants. The Government re-
fuses to do any thing toward checking
the evil for fear of losing the revenue
from the manufacture and sale of alco-
holic liquors. Our new Minister to
Russia, Charles Emory Smith, will set
the wine-drinking aristocrats of st.
Petersburg a good example. He turns
his glasses right side up which is upside
down when wine is passed at public ban
quets, and has not tasted Intoxicating

that II Is even better than riding on

many people.
THE BENEFIT OF ROWING.
Nextto walking l regard rowing, es-
pecially on the salt water, as the best
form oiexercise for either men or boys.
1t involves considerable expense for
suitable boat, for there is not much
stimulus in pulling any old "gundalow,"
and The element of safety is to be con-
sldered Neither is rowing without
sprope regard to the niceties of the art
ofmuch value.
Who I see a couple OF boys in an
old tuS, pulling at random, catching
crabs and iawing about the stroke, l
do notlook upon it as healthy exercise
for mind or body. A light and we'll
built lOat is the first essential, supplied
NTH Gean and light oars. The next re-
auirenent, and the one which is to feed
pc mind, is proper system.
Bone instruction is required for those
sEsRgp/ who are inexperienced; and
i4tx1s always some one, even away
rom he sea and the great lakes, who
knows how to row. This exercise is OBJ
tanned at lt best in boat club of five,
seven or moe members. Discipline is
absolutely necessary to the harmonious
working OF theclub.
IIGH1 GYMNASTICS.
Dumb-bells, Gibbs and bars at home
are very good forms of exercise, but it
requires hero, ifnot martyr, to per-
sist faithfully and sufficiently in their
use. They are open to the same objec-
ton as solitary walking-they fail to
supply the needed mental stimulus.
DR.. Lewis introduced system of light
gymnastics, using wooden dumb bells,
light clubs, wands, hoops and similar
apparatus. But they were used in
classes, from ten to fifty going through
the movements in concert, like squad
Of soldiers on drill. These classes found
the stimulus in the variety, and es-
pecially in the military precision, of the
movements. Both boys and girls, or
ladies and gentlemen, engaged in these
exercises il the same classes; and pos
sibly this formed an additional stimu-
lus. Doubtless these light gymnastics
are still in use in a modified form, for
they could not fail to benefit those en-
gagged in them.
The strongest objection find to most
Of the sports and games Of boys is that
they are oveidone and become danger
GUS to limb and even life. Boys will be
reckless from over-stimulation, and base-
ball, coasting, rowing and sailing be-
come perilous amusements. But dc
not know that there is any remedy.
BOYS should learn to be prudent. -Oliver
