ECONOMY IN SMALL WAYS.
1t Ii the Little Household Leaks That
Are Expensive.

Are EXpenSive.
Jenness Miller Monthly.
The little leaks in the household ex-
penses are tile most mischieyous. The big
ones are prominent enough to compel atten-
ton. Do you not, for example, trust all
your tradespcOpie implicitly? You can't
afford to do so. Even in the most reliable
shops-so caIled-the weighing Is very lax.
Butchers claim that the deficiencies n their
weight are due to the waste In trimming.
Very well; order the meat sent untrimmed-
You will get fresher meat, and what you
trim off will often give you nice bits for
the stock pot, suet, ETC. Try it and be con-
vinced.
A quick witted housckeeper says she

removing the cap, the obstruction VIII

times the force cup applied over the

to clear the pipe without taking the cap

BOSTON,. Uncle Noal,.

There is weE-neaning old gentleman
In Boston who goes about in fair weather
or foul with an open umbrella over bis
head. He is one of the notable characters
of the town, highly respected, as far as
that goes, but pitied as the victim of the
delusion that 4 downpour Is always inn
pending. The story is abroad in Boston that
he once got terrible drenching, and con-
tracted therefrom cold that threw him
into fever, out of which he issued with
his life, but an unbalanced mind. All he
could remember of his experience was that
he was caught out without an umbrella.
and. though capable of doing business and
comprehending every other subject, he still
lives in dread of a second deluge. He is
known as 'sUncle Noah."-Boston Herald.

BAcHELoRs' CHILDREN.


Old Bachelors children, oh. what models
are they,
Or will be, when they have some of their
own;
How quiet they'll be, and how lovely, as
wei,
How for good graces they will always be
known,
What pinks of perfection in conduct they'll
be,
How bright, how deft and how clean,
How free from small vices and follies al
way,
And nothing unplea SAINT or mean
How modest, how courteous and pleasing.
How strong in good words and good
deeds,
How perfect, and such as one reads of
In the novels, that q bachelor reads;
How they Will he trained for the battle
or life that's coming on by and by,
How they will walk in the paths that are
narrow,
And never get cranky or '.high.'
How they'll improve opportunities given,
How parents viii rise up and be bIest,
What patterns they VIII be for all others,
For emulation, and all of the rest
OF good things to hook for I'm future,
Both of this world and also the next,
But the sermon the bachelor breaches
Is without this appropriate text:
"Don't count up your chickens while hatch
ing.
Don't crorl the stream till you reach IL,
Take ie On or two in experience,
And aftcr writing your sermon don't
preach 1t,
Until you've lived the life OF parent,
And known young folk within and with
out;
Don't make foil of yourself about ea,Il-
dren,''
And this pen knows what it Is writing
about.

average road of their native land hail
the English roads with joy. OF course
there are some bad ones here, but there
are so many first-class roads that the
others are not worth speaking about.
No matter in what town the tourist is
visiting, it is quite certain that he can
strike out on his wheel in any direction
and within an hour of easy riding will
reach some point Of interest well worth
the seeing. He will run into little places,
hidden away from the ordinary route of
travel, yet replete with historic interest
or the folklore of a people who for tens
of generations have gone on doing,
thinking and believing the same thing
that their great-grandfathers did.
One such place is Ditchling, quaint
spot within an hours ride of Brighton,
through prettiest country in Sussex.
A trip was taken there with number of
fellow Americans, and the pleasures re-
paid us for the journey score of times
over. Early in the morning we left
Brighton by the Lewes road. to see what
luck would bring us during a days
loaflng around. At the edge of Stanmer
Park the cottage of the wood bailiff
backed up by beautiful trees, still desti-
tute of foliage, catches the eye, and soon
we leave the high road, taking the pri-
vate way through the park, where,
thanks to the kindness of Lord Chi
chester cyclists may circulate without
let or hindrance.
One could wish that this private by
way from the high road could be inde-
finitely extended, seing that it is in
every way charming. The roadway is
beautifully kept; high up on the tops of
the magnificent elms the busy rocks are
noisily setting their houses in order for
the increased census that will so soon
be recorded in their favor while in the
valley the sun is gradually dissolving
the soft morning mists. 1t seems sin
to hurry through so peaceful a village,
especially as we remember that in an
other mile or two the scene will change
TO the bare rolling Downs Soon we
come to "Stanmer Place." the home of
the Pelhams, and then pass on to the
pretty little English church, with its
tower and spire. 1t is just here, bor-
dering the roadway, that one notices
many huge stone bOulders, evidently be-
longing to no local stratum, but which
must have been stranded in this valley
long ages ago. carried slowly hither from
afar by glacial action. The teamsters

UP TO THE BEACON.
We have had enough of lettering in the
valley, so we soon cover the distance,
rugged though it be, to Ditchling Bea-
con, the highest hill in Sussex, and 1858
feet above the sea level Leaving the
bike by the roadside we climb to the
topmost summit! standing here on the
greatest elevation at the edge OF the
downs, the glorious Weald Of Sussex,
Is at your feet.
North, east and west the view Is almost
boundless, with villages and churches
dotted here and there. Later on In the
summer from here to Clayton Holt, three
miles to the west. the hills will be radi-
ent with golden gorse and purple heath

mans, pitched one of their innumerable
camps on this spot; indeed, 1t Is said to
have been one of triangle guarding

There can be no doubt about the carp,

the Democratic situation respecting the

Two weeks ago the sound-mofley DEM

the past fortnight has wrought may be
taken as an augury of a still greater
