Habits Of Saving.

Early in life habits ofsaving should
be implanted. Lessons in economy
ought to form part of every real edu-
cation. That value placed upon
thrift, if appreciated in childhood. as
soon as childhood can be made to
understand the worth of that sslf.re
straint which is the safeguard against
extravaganza, may have much to do
with the tone of satisfaction and con-
tentment. or the reverse, which the
after-life will receive. Whilst tact
and good management seem to come
naturally and with very little effort to
certain persons, there are few natures
upon which this growth may not be
grated, if only the operation is begun
early enough. We do not plead for.
miserly stinginess, nor for the sxpend.
ing of.a dollars worth of time that Is
valuable in order to utilize five cents
worth of material-for there il such o
thing as false economy yet. il it ID
true that average European families
could live in comfort on what Ameri-
can families waste, habits of saving
were we'll worth making q national
study of. The day may come when,
lavish plenty having been removed
from US, some may ament prodigal
recklessness of their past.--The Nora

scruple OF q Lawyer.

The late Robert Toombs, Of Georgia,
had large practice at the bar, but
he always showed that he was more
concerned for the honor Of his profess
sion than for its reward. On one
occasion he said to a client who had
stared his case to him, eyes, you
can recover in this suit, but you
ought not to do so. This is a case in
which law and justice are on opposite
Sides The client told him he would
push the case anyhow. "Then,' re-
piled Mr.. Toombs, "you must hire some
one else to assist you in your rascality." ."
At another time lawyer went to him
and asked what he should charge q
client in q case to which Mr.. Toombs
had just listened in the courthouse.
"Well," said Toombs. II should
charge 81, 900, but you ought to have
5000, for you did great many.
