By most men the rosy dreams OF
youth are never realized. The work
men must always far o%utnumber the
employers, more than 100 to 1.
The man who puts off the prac-
Nee of economy, waiting for a time
when it will be easier for him to deprive
himself of certain pet luxuries, learns
when it is too late that he has passed
the point where he can demand of the
present that it shall help provide for
his future. Among all the acquaint-
ances have had in the past 40 years, not
one spendthrift among them has retired
from business a successful man.
Possibly you may look upon that
word "spendthrift" as one hat cannot
be applied to you. You may think it
applies only to one who foolishly
throws away a fortune. If you will
turn to your dictionary you will read
that he is a spendthrift who is i'm
provident or wasteful. The word APP
plies with equal force to the man earn.

There are no miracles in a business
career. The man who wins success has
toiled early and late with all his powers
cf body and mind. He has been sub
servient to his ambition. He has pushed
aside, because it was the first step to-
ward success. every habit and desire
that stood between him and his goal.
No man was ever numbered among the
successful ones unless he was waiting
and prepared for Fortune when she
knocked at his door. She has never
yet been known to wait for any man or
boy to prepare himself for her com
pany. l know of no one habit that SO

young man as the habit of economy. 1t

him to look beyond an action to it's

him that the pure, sweet, innocent
pleasures of life are almost to be had for
the asking, and that Satan is not only
a cruel but an expensive taskmaster.

Stir the sugar and cocoa to a paste

full of vanilla, and spread.

Among the new varieties of ice
cream cherry bisque, which had its

Fat in any form should never be
given to the sick, because it is in
large %globules, and, therefore, most
difficult of digestion. Cream is in
small globules, and therefore, easier
to digest than fats. but skim milk,
say the dietarians, is the best food
for children and invalids. Milk given
to the very sick should be diluted the
same as for infants.
Mice are said to object to the odor
of mint, a suggestion that may be
utilized to advantage by the house
keeper who objects just as strongly to
the small rodents. If fresh mint is
not o%btainable, liquid peppermint APP
piled to the shelves of store roo
and pantry is said to be equally eff
cacious.

BENEFIT BIZ
The Value of the Philadelphia Com
mercial Museum to the Amer
lean Manufacturers.

The Philadelphia Commercial mu-
scum maintains other displays intend
ed to benefit the American manufac-
turer by comparison. TheseeXhibits
consist of manufacturer articles, the
product of various countries, with
which the American may be called up
on to compete in foreign markets,
especially in such markets as South
America, Africa and the Orient.
In this section are samples of hats,
boots and shoes. cloths, and all man.
ner of manufactured articles sold by
ioIeign nations in different markets.
Take print cloths as an illustration.
In n group are gathered specimens
Of the print cloths used in different
countries from the Philippines to Mex
leo, showing the various patterns and
textures in favor in each market. To
each sample is affixed a card bearing
the name of the country where it is
manufactured, the country where it is
sold, the cost price and the selling
price.
With these facts at his command,
the American manufacturer can easily
figure out whether it is possible for
him to make these goods in competi-
ton with foreign makers. If he de-
cides that he can, he has the advan-
tage, in going into a new market, of
knowing just what competitor he must
meet, and also what his prospective
customers presumably like. -harles II.

a turning pow just in front of the
point successfully. This rolling coulter
cuts the vines on each side of the row,
while some dirt is thrown away from
the row at the same time. The third
time the turning pillow is run in the
center of the row and the potatoes
thrown out. The tubers are then gath
cred and sacked. Care must be taken
not to bruise them. as the soft rot"
is apt to start at all bruised places. All
bruised tubers should be sorted out at
once and fed before storing.
We have obtained good results
against black rot by letting the tubers
remain in the ground where they grew
until wanted. Throwing dirt over them
with a turning pillow will prevent freez-
ing. If potatoes are to be stored, they
must be dried out first, and those which
decay from soft rot must be taken out
frequently. In about two weeks after
digging they will be dry. and the soft
rot will stop. The cut shows a potato

To keep sweet potatoes, they must
first be properly harvested. Cattle may
be turned OF first to eat the tops and
vines, afterward hogs may be turned
on to harvest the tubers. In this way
nearly all the crop may be saved at a
minimum cost. If the potatoes are 80

to dig the crop. They should not be
dug when the sap is active in the vines.
If, when a tuber is cut, the cut place

SCHOOL CENSUS
Young People of School Age in the
City Greatly Increased Over
Last Year.
School Board Decides Not to Use
Private Buildings for the
School Overflow.

City Clerk j. G. Trotter has compiled
der that the pro rata of the public fund
may be drawn for school purposes. The
compilation shows an increase in num-
Der of young people of school age, be-
tween and q years, and shows there
are in the city Isis boys of school age
and 1880 girls. making total of 1886
The number of young people in the city
last year, as ascertained by the school
census, was 3201. for which the dis
trict drew from the public fund $500.
Although the exact enrolment has not
yet been figured, the enumeration of
pupils in actual attendance at school is
only considered about 20 per cent Of the
census.
The exact enrolment of the city
schools will be reported to Superintend-
ent Willard Friday or Saturday.
WILL RENT NO ROOMS.
The special committee of the school
board to which was referred the mat
ter of providing additional room for the
pupils. to obviate the overcrowded con-
dition of some of the buildings, has
reached solution of the dilemma and
believes 1t will not be necess .iy to rent
rooms in private buildings The plan
decided upon is to make further trans
fers and make room for an additional
grade in the Fourth ward building. The
entire kindergarten of the Fourth ward
will be transferred. Some of the kim
dergarten pupils of the Woodbury.
school will be sent to the First ward
building, and those from the Fourth
ward will be divided between the Wood
bury and First ward schools, according
to the distance from each they happen
to reside This change will necessitate
the maintenance of two kindergartens
in the First ward building, and of two
first grades In the Fourth ward build
ing. the latter at present being crowded
to greater extent than any other
school in the city. An additional first
grade teacher will have to be employed
for the Fourth ward and the kinder-
garten teacher there Will probably go
4 to the First ward to take charge of the
| extra room there.
The school officials believe they an
get through the school year under this
arrangement. and next year the crowd
ing will be relieved by the new Arson
school and the erection of an addition
ito one of the other schools.
+. So far no selection of science teach
er for the high school has been made
but decision will probably be reached
within a day or two. The board has
numerous applications for the position
but are after the best instructor to be
had
