A Mystery of Arithmetic.

It was interesting to read about the
gentleman who, at a Sunday school
meeting last Sunday, told the children
that in the thirty-three years during
which he had abstaiIed from tobacco,
he had saved by that means SS,SS2.61.
1t would also be interesting to know
whether any bright boy in the room
asked him if he had all that money in
the bank. II is one of the curious
things about economies of this sort
that they never seem to make any diff
ference with ones budget at the end
of the year Theoretically, arithmet-
ically they must, of course, but prac-
tically they don't What lots of saw
ing, thrifty, get-ahead fellows there
are who smoke, and what lots of total
abstainers from tobacco who can't lay
up cent to save their lives! 1t really
seems as if the matter of saving mon
ey were presided over by unseen imps,
who spirit away dimes and dollars
from some people by night and put
them in the pockets of other people.
Cash accounts don't altogether explain
the mystery A man who doesn't use
tobacco may often wonder where he
would get the money to buy it if he
did use it; but if he did use it, probab-
ly his accounts would somehow come
to the same thing.-Boston Transcript.
