NOT SUCH A BAD sWINpLE.
A bad Umbrella Habit Is Cured For tho
Outlay of 81.

A bad Umbrella Habit Is Cured For tho
Outlay of 81.
Some years ago answered an advertise
ment which offered in return for 81 bill
to send an infallible remedy for the habit
of leaving ones umbrella behind in offices
and more especially in vehicles. As mon
ey maker that advertiser was a distinct
genius, for in response to my application
and in return for my dollar / received a
printed slip, about inches by in size, with
the picture of a man alighting from a hack
with an open umbrella, which had got
stuck fast in the door. Below the picture
which it was explained was purposely
drawn out of perspective, were a few lines
explaining that if a man would once i'm
press the picture on his mind he would
think of it every time he left vehicle or
car and would be prevented thereby from
leaving his umbrella behind.
My Indignation at this barefaced swim
die was SO great that what the advertiser
advised actually happened The incident
and illustration both became so photo
graphed in my minds eye every time l car
ried an umbrella l thought of that absurd
Illustrator. and the dollar thought thrown
away has since saved me many dollars
year in umbrellas. The science of mne-
monies is very peculiar one, and few peo-
pie understand it. Years ago 1t was com
mon to tie a knot in ones handkerchief as
reminder of anything, and this plan has
been improved upon from time to time. ]
have friend who always hangs his hat on
one peg in his office and has small brass
file just below the peg. BY hanging loose
memorandums on this file he can scarcely
leave the Office without being reminded
OF important duties or engagements.
Another man, who has no clock in his
office, slips memorandums in his watch
pocket, SO that when he looks TO see If it is
time to go home he will also notice whether
he has forgotten anything, The only duty
which no one yet has been able to remem-
Der or to invent scheme for is mailing
letter written by ones wife. The number
of times a rational business man will carry
a letter around in his pocket for over
week and then sneak quietly out and mail
1t in the corner letter box is something re
markable, and this unaccountable neglect
of husbandlike duty accounts for no end OF
Misunderstanding and broken friendships
among the victims of this species of mascu-

The truth of the saying that two
paths are to be trodden In this life,
one towards higher sphere of civil
lzatton, the other downward to the
lower depths, ia very frequently de
IN onstrated. We have in our mind
two young men who started out egual
in intellect and business ability. Bott
had grown up under the care OF low
ing mothers, the only difference being
one had q father who used liquor anC
the other did not. For while they
went along In regular way. Only one
boy showed q disposition to spend
his income. the other to put a little
away for rainy day.
The saving boy, whenever he would
see the spending boy smoking a cigar
would put five cents In his Other
pocket. These five cents gradually
accumulated until the saving fellow
put his savings into q nice library.
From smoking cigars this boy gradu.
ally got into evil companionship, until
drink was added to his other bad hab-
its. Time wore on; the saving one
went into building operations, still
keeping up his saving habit. The
other went into fast company, and as
his salary was increased his expehdi-
lures Increased.
At last fast company and strong
drink began to tell upon his business
and he neglected 1t. Time and again
he was warned by the indulgent en-
ployer, but at last forbeGrance ceased
to be u virtue and he received his dis.
charge.
The other man by this time had ac-
enough to help place him
in business. and as the saving fellow
rose in the estimation of the
people and became easier In the
world's goods. the other party grad
lally let his vices draw him down
lower and lower. until now he Is PEN
niless, with a family depending on
him for support. In fact only few
iaysAgo he, in an intoxicated eondi-
lion. called upon his former friend for
the loan OF ten cents. possibly for the
purpose Of satisfying the gnawing at
his vitals. occasioned by the use OF

The Garbage Grematory.

The city has leen paying between
$S, 1000 and $40. 900 year for tho col
lection OF tue garbage. This Is pref
ty high figure but the contractor doos
not know where he has to dump the
garbage. as year after year the haul Ia
longer than the previous year. But in
the course of about ten days the new
city garbage crematory will be in or
der to do its work. On an average the
city furnishes about 40 tons OF gar
bage daily but the crematory will be
capable for more than twice that
quantity. The builders are the Ameri'
can Garbage Crematory Company, and
they will operate the crematory for
two or three weeks after 1t is com.
pleted. Tho cost OK cremating the
garbage will not exceed As cents ton.
The crematory is situated at the foot
OF East Liberty street and will cost
$4,000 1t will therefore be seen that
the cost of consuming tho garbage
will cost about Is, 500. There Is a re-
turn of so pounds OF fertilizer from
each ton OF garbage, This fertilizer
is sold at the rate of about SIG ton.
So after deductlng this amount 1t can
be seen that tho city will gain over
s3. 900 year by the operation OF the
crematory.

A young married man, employed on

From his kitchen he has an electric
wire and button which connects in his
