The credit system has had its
day and never again will it prevail

end, the sooner the better. 1t is
better to learn to pay as we go. If
we can't pay, then don't buy. Had
the credit system not prevailed in

there will be prosperity such as

rendness Of Mice for ,ru.Ie.

A nice little animal story is given in
this months Nature Notes, which raises
the interesting question whether mice
have f0ndness for music, II is con-
tributed by musician, who saysi zone
evening was somewhat startled at
hearing my piano suddenly giving forth
sweet sounds, apparently of its own ac-
cord. A mouse, so it proved, had got
iDeide the instrument, and was making
music on the wires, Whether this was
Intentional on mousie's part or not /
cannot say; perhaps he was trying to
make nest for himself there. Some
years ago, however, while piano was
being played in the dining-room Of my
old home, several mice came out upon
the hearthrug and began to jump about,
apparently with delight at the sound of
the music, and one was either so abb
sorbed or overcome by itthat he allowed
himself to be carried away in tongs by
the housemaid." After this, ladies
ought to lose their antipathy to mice,
indeed, we may soon expect some hu-
manitarian dame to commence musical
parties for their delectation. 1t would
be amusing TO see them dance, and
would form really humane method of
catching hem.--I.ondon News,

tise themselves as intending to de-
liver an interesting discourse on,
