One Kind of Saving.

A thrifty woman had Joined one of
those cooperative saving societies,
whose earthly function is to protect its
patrons against extortionate prices by
securing to them a reduction Of ten per
cent at the stores belonging to the COM
bination. She was enthusiastic over
the opportunities for economy the
scheme presented and her husband was
rather disposed to be skeptical on the
Subject.
At the close OF the first week she had
q talk with him.
"You don't believe In the society,""
she said tentatively.
mot altogether" he confessed.
well, whether you do or not, I've
saved $40 this week; over $3.50 day
for six days"
"How?" he inquired.
"By using my tickets, OF course. !
bought 500 worth Of things and only
paid 500 for them."a
"Ah," he said, beginning to figure.
"Yes. l did, and next week I'll save
s25, or over ST q day." and she was
more enthusiastic than ever.
''No you won't, my dear, he said en-
phaticalIy. "You are altogether too
economical. This business Of spending
s225 to save SIS went work. You
throw that ticket In the FIRE and begin
to retrench and reform 10 some other
direction, please" and she began 70

LACK OF HOME TRAINING

The Cause of So Many Lawless Girls Run
ming About the Streets
To the Editor Oftbs Register:
The Woman's Union Benevolent So
cie'y is certainly on the road to better
ing the morals Of the young people Of our
city. In their effort before the City Coun-
Gil to have an ordinance passed restrict
ing the appearance of boys and girls
under sixteen years upon our streets
after certain hour after night. But,
TO my mind, the editor OF the REGISTER
strikes at the root of the matter when
he says girls and women do not appear
upon the streets for improper purposes
until they have taken succession Of
downward steps, etc. Lack Of proper
home training it seems to me is the
first step. Fathers and mothers who
have lost control (f they ever had any
over their sons and daughters are re-
sponsible for the downfall of many a
young man and woman. Their home
ceases to be an attractive place in the
evening, then the trouble begins. But
you say that the young people must
| have some amusement. Granted that
they must. See that they get 1t at
your own or the Preside Of friends not at
| the theatre or ball room. In their early
years, teach your sons and daughters
| that the Improvement of mind and heart
| is of vastly more Importance than the
| frittering away Of few hours in the
! giddy dance or looking upon some play.
There are young people in this city who
meet at each others houses week after
week land enjoy themselves too) for the
| Improvement of their minds. Music,
reading Of essays and debate constitute
! the evenings entertainment. Those
young boys and girls never think OF
! freQuenting the theatre or ball rooms.
| They were not trained that way. And
let me say just here If the Christian
voters OF this city were awake to their
duty they would see that men were put
1 in Office who would not only en-
force the license law in regard
to balls, but would forever prohibit
such questionable places Of amusement.
Then would the temptation along that
line be withdrawn from those who have
no homes and those who have been de-
prived of Christian training. God
bless the Woman's Union Benevolent
Society and every other organization
that has for Its object the uplifting Of
humanity. These organizations are do
ing q work that has been neglected by
parents. May there be a great awak-
ening soon along the line of parental
and civil responsibility is the prayer Of
a MOTHER.

TIE COLONEL TONIGHT.

OF "The Colonel" which will be the
attraction at the opera house tonight,
the Wilmington, Del, Star, says:
1.-THE play is comedy in three acts,
adapted from the German by Oscar p.
SSSon, and is one of high standard.
The company that presented il is a
strong one, and it is hard to say what
member is deserving of the most praise.
The audience was we'll pleased, as
was evinced by the rapturous and coz
slant applause which greeted the per-
Torrance from beginning to end. How
ever, it is sufficient to say that the
company sustained its well-won reputa-
ton, and will be greeted by full house
whenever they hold down the boards

FILTRATION OF wArER.
House Filters That Are breeding Places
for Organisms Of Disease.

Filtration which is mere straining-as
for en- example, continuous filtration
through sand or animal charcoal-may
clarity water without otherwise improv-
ing it in any respect, and II after tine
the filter becomes foul the water may be
polluted rather than improved, according
TO DR.. W. G.. Tucker, who regards with
disfavor most of the Old fashioned filtering
appliances, which rot only gave false
sense Of security, but often served as breed
ing places for the growth Of living organ
isms. A house filter which is not easily
cleansed is an abomination, being gener-
ally allowed 10 take care Of itself and In
time becoming a source of real danger.
A few years ago case Of no little inter
est was reported Two samples Of water
were analyzed for family in which one
member was i'll with typhoid fever. One
of the samples was from the house supply
direct, and the other was the same water
filtered through portable charcoal litter
of the common type. This latter sample
Welded a much larger amount OF albumin
mold ammonia than the former, decolorized
five times as much permanganate OF po-
tassium, and was in every respect objec-
tionable. On inquiry IL was learned that
the filter had been in use for more than
year. and that in the place where the owner
had formerly resided he had found the
water so bad that be had made use Of 1t to
filter that which he used for his bath.
Filters which allow OF easy cleaning By re-
versed currents Of water are free from
most of the objections attending the use Of
the older forms.

One of the most aggravating things to
a person Of good sense is the method
which people employ in dealing with tiles
They are useful scavengers, and IL they
would limit their inroads TO places where
they are needed, they would do good SER
vice. Unfortunately. however, when they
once come in force they often pervade
the most clearly homes. One OF the most
successful methods in dealing with flies
is to hang up some herb or plant which
is offensive TO them, and not offensive TO
the residents of the house.
Sweet clover, which grows plentifully
by the roadside, and has faint, pleasant
odor, unobjectionable to any one not
afflicted with hay fever, has the reputa-
ton of being abhorred by flies. few

At An Auction.

with some Women.
What a fascination an auction room has
for some women. The forced sales that
there take place are as great delight
as gambling is to those who love the very
spots on a deck Of cards or the click or
the ball in a roulette wheel.
Day after day, week after week the
same faces may be seen in the same
haunts 1t matters lot whether furniture
or ribbons form the catalogue, the sale
is just as exciting to these infrequent
buyers That is just where the mystery
comes in. They seldom bid on anything,
though they appear to take as great an
interest as though they were large buyers
and mark the amount each article brings
on the margin of their catalogue in neat
little figures.
Some of them are known to the auc-
tioneer as starters" because they are
the ones who give the first bid and can
never be persuaded TO offer a second.
Sometimes they are in this way caught
In their own trap, as no one feels In
c'ined to make a second bid either and
some extraordinary articles are in this
way knocked down to them.

auction rooms with a logged persistency
