one-fourth of the running expenses.

1t is said that using money wisely is
more of an art than getting money to
use. 1t requires larger measure of
ability to spend money as it should be
spent, than to accumulate it in the first
place. Money is dangerous thing to
handle. 1t ruins many man through
tempting him to its overweening pur-
suit; and it ruins many another man
through tempting him to squander it
when gathered, or to depend on it un-
duly as means of happiness or of use
fulness. The art of spending money
Alright is commanding more attention
than ever before in this country, where
the art of accumulating money is al

CoMRADEs:-Ano year has passed
and we are again remined the time is
approaching when we make our annual
visitation TO the habitations Of the dead.
More than twenty-cight years have
passed since the Angel of Peace spread
her wings over our beloved country.
In all that time you have never faltered
In your devotion to the memory of your
departed comrades, and now in the
midst of this beautiful season of the
year, when all nature Is bright, and the
sweet perfume Of the flowers Of spring is
around and about us. IL were well that
we stop nj the milestone Of 1893, and
with solemn thoughts and utterances
renew our allegiance to the cause for
which 50 many Of our brave comrades
went down to their death, or since the
cventful days of the war have dropped
by the wayside. Let MS show by our
zeal in the performance Of this sacred
duty, that we believe IL Is well for the
country to thus honor the memory Of
her defenders, and In this manner teach
an object lesson Of patriotism which will
not soon be forgotten. For our COM
radcs who have answered the last roll
call there are in our hearts words, II we
could speak them, that are rs Passion
| flowers, and sentences that are us
wreaths of Amaranth. They sleep un-
der the dew and the daisy. To their
memory on May Both, we will drop
the tribute of tear; and on the lowly
mounds scattered throughout our great
commonwealth let us plant the beauti-
ful flowers Of spring time, that will be
watcred with the tears of the people Of
Il grateful country. AS we bend DER
the graves of our comrades, we can re-
call, as If in sweet communion, their
noble. unsclfsh sacrifices and heroic
bearing In the hour of danger, for
humanity and civilization. In this
spirit of meditation we look about us
and see the evidences Of prosperity all
over this broad land. and whilst we can
recall nothing which can arouse feel
ing of vindictivcness or sectional pas
sion, we feel proud of the fact that our
honored dead were comrades in the
grandest volunteer army the world ever
knew. Let us, therefore, perform the
duties of the day in reverent spirit,
and thus show to the world our appre-
citation of their efforts in the days of
long ago, and for the few remaining
days allotted to us let us so live that
when we, too, shall have been called,
''wc may wrap the drapery of our couch
about us and lie down like one to pleas
ant dreams"

consider themselves real nice would

ing lessons Of Jenny Lind q good many
years ago and TO have found the Swedish
nightingale q great scold. Her temper
at this time was such that she would
often fly intoAa great rage, and her hus-
band would have to entice her out Of the
room to soothe her, after which she
would come back with affability drawn
over her wrath so oppressive in her
courtesy that the student hardly dared
to breathe for fear Of starting her off
again.
The American confessed that she spent
more of her lesson hours crying than
singing, and added: Her reprimands
were often personal. She would look at
