Care of Small Things.

An old Philadelphia tells a story
illustrating the ann in which the
sons OF the house of DreXel, the well
known bankers. we're brought up.
Upon one occasion, returning from
the Barbados. he brought back a
considerable quantity of gold and sill
yer tied up in small bags. as was the
custom, and had them carried to the
banking Office of the Drexels for
sale. The bags were emptied out on
the counter. and the coins carefully
counted and set aside in separate
piles, in order to calculate the cor
rect sum for which the bank check
should be drawn. After this was
done old DreXel took from inside his
desk one of the feather quill pens
then generally used, and with a sheet
Of white paper he slowly swept off
that portion Of the counter upon
which the coin had been handled.
and as carefully shook the paper
into a tin box. The depositor could
not see any dust on the paper,
SO he Smilingly asked Mr.. Drexel
what was gained by tie sweep.

At this the whole wardroom burst

A MISSOURI entomologist informs
the public that quail, lady bugs, and
frogs destroy hosts Of chinch bugs.
He says that the chinch bug does
not become a grandmother in TWEEN

he says they are harvest flies. and
that only the females do the eating,
the males having no digestive appar-

only ones that bite. and female To-
Gusts are the only ones that destroy
crops, is it not well to be ware IA little
of femininity in general?

singing tuneful rather than discord.

recent advice of a Portland, Me-,

1T will add to the harmony of the

who know how to sing will sing loud

sing will sing low" This seems to lit
the case exactly. The volume of

the devotion of the singer. 1t is
merely a rather superfuous guaranty
Of good faith.
