UNWISE ECONOMY.

Whatever else you hoard, do not
include in the list old medicine
bottles. The cost of these when
perfectly new very trifling, and
the tutility of saving them against a
possible errand to the chemists is
very apparent. Nor should tacks
taken up when you remove carpets
from the floor for the annual or
semi-annual shaking be put aside
for a second use. A new paper Of
tacks should be used whenever a
carpet is relaid. | once knew a
woman who made one match, by
careful economy, serve three seper-
ate lightings; yet she went to her
grave with the spirit of pauper,
and a bevy OF spend thrift cousins
swooped down On her fields and
barns as eagles on their prey.

A MIDNIGHT SPELL.
BY NJ. LORING GOULD.

The low range of sand hills over
whlc.l MIR. Browning Carter was walk
ing was softly liz by the summer moon.
From his position the young man
could overlook the level, green country
at his right, and the quiet sea at his
left.
1t was evident, however, that he saw
neither. In his eyes was the far away
look of expectation, and, as he moved
along is buoyant ecstasy, he was quite
unconscious of the slipping sand and
tangled dune grass.
Presently he came to break in the
hills, a sort OF guley which the sea had
once cut. Here the coarse dune grass
had reluctantly given place to finer
species, and in the centre of the hollow
stood a solitary tree. Its twisted,
storm whipped arms looked gaunt
and appealing in the food of moon
light.
At sight of the tree the young man
made low exclamation and quickened
his already swift pace. As he appro-
ached he scanned closely the scantly
leaved branches. 1t was not TIL quite
near them that he was certain Of their
species.
He heaved sigh of deep satisfac-
ton.
An oak l thought so !
There was strange excitement in
his manner, and his hand trembled as
he took out his watch.
A quarter of twelve. Ten minutes
to wait. The incarnation takes but
five.
Rather impatently the Young man
sat down at the foot of the old oak,
and took from his pocket small, calf
bound volume, very old and very
musty.
He had recently found it among a
lot of old books which had been left
him by his great uncle man OF mucn
mystical learning, who in earlier times
would doubtless have suffered under
the accusation of Witchcraft.
Carter at the time OF his uncles
death, had rather wondered at the odd
bequest. But the elder Carter had
had evidently seen in the nervous,
sensitive temperament of the young
man that which would make him
fit disciple of theosophy.
The package of books, however, re
mined untouched until one afternoon
Carter, from sheer laziness was seized
with a desire to examine the box.
Rather to his own astonishment the
found himself attracted by the mystic
medley which he met; and presently

/ What can do? he thought. But
he had all he had asked for and he
could have nothing else.
And hundred. two hundred and
then thousand years passed. At
last Peter opened the door again.
Wen, said he, how do you like it
Then the man became very angry.
How do l like ii? he SAID. do not
like it at ALL hate it! How could
you have such miserable place in
Heaven?
In heaven? says Peter. But you
are in hell, for you have wished for
your own he'll. Did you think we
burned all sinners2 Oh, no. Those
were old times. We now let people
choose their own hell.
Terrified the man sinks in his
chair. Oh, yes, he knows now he is
in hell and eternity before him. He
turns pitifully to Peter and says:
And hoH long is eternity?
Without end
He began to weep bitterly, and
Peter, feeling sorry, led him to the
top OF the house, and there through
a crack in the wall he saw into
Heaven, but he had to stand on the
tips Of his toes and stretch his neck.
There sat God in all his glory and
all his angels round him, and all was
joy!
Oh, how beautiful! cries the poor
rich man. But, tell me, Peter, who
is the man sitting at Gods feet!
This is the poor man who lived
near you on earth. After | had
given you time to wish and returned
to ssk him what he wanted he beg
ged for a little bench to sit at the
feet of God, and his wish was granted,
just as yours was granted to you.
And Peter walked noiselessly
away before tie rich man was aware
OF it, for he was still gazing into
Heaven, standing painfully on the
very tip of his toes.
And when Peter returned after a
thousand years the rich man was
still looking longingly into Heaven,
forgetting all other things and un-
mindful OF pain or fatigue
He did not hear Peter, who, put
ting his hand on the mans shoulder,
said gently:
Come, you have stood long
enough, you are forgiven. am to
take you to Heaven. Don't you
think you might have chosen 1t from
the beginning?
And at last the poor and rich live
again near each other.

! Treasurer.
When she heard the door of hs
office close Sophia made her way
thither and knocked.
My good woman, cried the grutt
old soldier, what are you doing
here? It's , o'clock in the morning.
Oh, come with me. General, an

box of money in the counting room.
Seneral Spinner had a dream that
night that something was wrong at
the Tresury, and, restless and dis
turbed, he had at last come down to
the building.
He and Sophia carried the box to
his office. All Of the officials of the
department were summoned from
their homes. Sophia was kept pris

Then she was sent home in General

Sophia was called to General
Splnner's presence shortly after her
first find to receive her official ap-
pointment.
Expecting to be discharged from
her scrubwork she was unable to
realize the import OF the paper given
her. Trusting it in her dress she
took her stand in the ladies' toilet
room, debating which woman she
would ask to read her the paper.
She was perfectly certain that it was
her discharge from the scrubbing
business. Finally she accosted Miss
Stoner, the first women clerk in the
Treasury. It's an appointment, said
Miss Stoner. Don't you know you
have saved the government quarter

paper entities you TO have work

HIS CHOICE.

lust at the time when the earth
was full of Joy and it was hardest to
! die, for sweet flowers were blooming,
two men took the road to heaven, a
rich man ard a poor one.
They had lived next door to each
other on earth, the poor man in a
hut, while sumptious house was
the rich mans abode.
But death makes no difference,
and SO it happened that they both
died at the same time and now they
were walking in silence near each
other.
But the road was very steep and
the rich man .ound it hard and soon
fell behind.
The poor man reached heaven
quicker, but he was afraid 20 knock,
50 he sat down quietly and thought:
Let me wait for my neighbor; per
haps he dares knock at the gate.
After a long time the rich man
arrived, and finding heayen closed
began to shake the gate violently,
making such a noise that Peter came
running breathlessly, and on seeing
the two men said to the rich one.
That was you, no doubt, who
could not wait | should not think
you would care to make your
self so CONSPICUOUS, for we have no
good reports Of you in Heaven.
But we will see what is next. Come
both in-and Peter helped the poor
man rise.
They found themselves in an i'm
mense hall. with many doors and
benches along the walls.
Sit here and rest, said Peter, and
profit we'll by my absence to decide
what you wish, for your wish will be
fully granted. Only consider well,
for there is no change later, and for
get noting before it is too late.
When Peter returned, he asked if
they had made up their minds The
rich man jumped up at once and
said he wanted magnificent house,
better than a kings palace. and the
best of food every day-roasts and
vegetables and jams and chocolate;
then a comfortable armchair, and a
beautiful wrapper Of green satin, and
the daily paper, so he might know
the news. Peter looked at him and
asked:
And nothing else?
oh, yes, also want my cellars
full OF gold.
Very well. and Peter opened one
OF the many doors and led the rich
man into just such palace as he
had asked for, and told him he
would find all as he had wished it to
be.
And so it was.
But when years had passed,
and he had counted all IS gold and
had every day good -ner, and
the paper had lost its interest be-
cause it talked Of people ana things
that were new to him, he found the
time long, and he yawned.
