WOMEN AND MONEY.
They Are Not Denscly Ignorant About
Financial Matters, as Supposed.

financial Matters, AZ Supposed.
From Harper's Bazar. 80 +51-''sf go.
The opinion has generally prevailed
among men, or at least has been expressed
for centuries, that women are densely and
ircurably ignorant about money. He
knows no more of money than a woman"
is almost a proverb. The absurdest stories
ere perpetually told of woman's total in
oapacfty to learn anything about money,
and some of them are doubtless believed.
What was current ages ago in regard to
Women is current now, and Is almost as
likely to gain credit as 1t was then. Men
are apt to forget what extraordinary
changes " oman has undergone in this CEN
trry-in the last half particularly. She
may have been financial smpleton in the
remote past: she surely is not now, in most
cases. Today the average woman probably
understands money as well does the
average man.
She is. notwithstanding contrary belief an
Intelligent economist when she comes to
learn what economy means. 1t is frequent
ly said by the other sex that she can make
dollar go as far they can make two;
nor is this by any means the language of
compliment Many and many husband
has discovered that his wife can buy more
with small amount of money than he can,
and he is in the habit of giving it to her
for that special purpose.
The extravaganza of women has been a
stock theme everlastingly. We still hear Of
her wild profusion, of ruin of fortunes by
her excess, OF her uncontrolled and uncon-
trollable prodigality. This must be accepted
with vast allowance. Man, not woman, is
the great spendthrift; always has been; al
ways will be.
Few men forced into economy by circum-
stances relish it, unless avaricious and
when their circumstances grow easy they
cease generally to be economical. A woman
who has once become economical will con-
tinue to be so, though there be no need of
the habit even if it be glaringly out of
keeping with her condition.
Woman's love of small details inclines her
to economy. She may not be financier in
any large sense: that may not be within her
scope; but careful use of little amounts of
money certainly is, and she constantly
demonstrates her proficiency therein. There
is much more reason for calling her penu-
rious than prodigal, and she is really called
both, though the adjectives are absolutely
incongruous.
The probable fact that woman will go on
improving steadily and rapidly in her ac-
Quaintance with money and its uses to the
end of the next century will not hinder
ary ignorance and extravaganza then just
as they do now.
1t is to be doubted If out of a thousand
business failures a wife actively and know
iEgly contributes to one. She is almost as
likely to cut her husbands throat while he
is asleep The plain truth is, IL she has any
&C mmon sense, and is the least enlightened,
she usually restrains her husbands ten
dency to lavishness, and employs all her in
fluence in the direction of economy.

George Vogel of York township, Ind,
started fire in a stubble field on his farm
Friday in a very peculiar manner. He was
plowing the dead weeds and dry stubble
urder the ground when his plowshare
struck a big rock. The stroke of the steel
upon the flinty surface of the stone caused
it to emit sparks of fire that ignited the
dry rubbish which surrounded it. This in
augurated a fire that, propelled by the
wind, spread over the field and threatened
to destroy his fences. He finally subdued
the flames

to Washington and make a few pill
grimages to the battle-lields he had
helped to win thirty years ago. He
was a dear friend of Senator Chandler
but didn't care to let the senator know
of his coming. so he took the train to
Washington and put up at Wizards,
where he stopped after the war. Next
morning he went up to the capitol and
called on the senator.
"The latter was surprised to see his
old friend. and expOstulated with him
fornot coming straight to his residence.
Then engaging the visitors attention
Mr. Chandler instructed his clerk to go
to the hotel. pay his friends bill and
have his baggage moved up to the
Chandler residence. Accordingly the

acquainted with the number of deer
in this section know that they have
been constantly increasing for a many

of them to one month each year, say in

to increase the number Of wild deer
than all the prohibitOry legislation that
can be enacted by our state Legislators.

Nervousness


Is only another name for impure
blood, for no person is weak and ner-
vOus whose blood is perfectly pure.
When the blood is full of the germs
of disease, and lacking in the red cor
puscles which give it vitality, when it
fails to properly nourish the organs
and tissues Of the body, what can you
expect but that tired feeling and ncr-
vousness?
OF course Scrofula, Salt Rheum,
Catarrh and Rheumatism are uni
versally recognized as blood diseases,
for which Hoods Sarsaparilla, as the
best blood purifier, is everywhere
acknowled the greatest remedy.
Therefore, as Hoods Sarsaparilla
cures all blood diseases, it is the best
remedy for that condition of the blood
which causes Nervousness.
1t is a false idea to think you are
curing your nervousness when you
are taking preparation which only
guiets your nerves! 1t is like trying to
"drown" your sorrows in the flowing
bowl. They are sure to retarn.
