WISE ECONOMY.

There is a false economy whose
devotees are said to be ''penny
wise and pound foolish" The
following is from Success;
eff | were out of employment,
with only a dollar in the world
and if didn't have dollar, |
would go out and earn one" said
the head of a firm who has risen
from an office boy to his present
position, 81 would spend it all in
IN hour. would divide most of
that dollar between a shave, Il
bath and a shine. With the re-
mainder | would buy the best
meal | could get. | might have
to carry a hod for my next meal,
but never would | miss the one
opportunity to make myself pre-
Sentable for u better position. ="
This would be economy. 1t is
economy to patronize a good lee
ture; it is economy, as well as a
paying investment, to buy good
literature. 1t prompts high re-
solves and noble endeavor. 1t is
economy to cultivate a desire for
the best of every thing, in music
and art. A piano in the house is
economy. 1t is the creator Of
peace and harmony, which are
priceless. 1t is economy to take
weeks travel occasionally and
learn what the world is doing be-
yond the four walls in which you
live.

The best teachers for boys and
girls are the lives of good men

Selfishness is that detestable
vice which no one will forgive in
others, and no one is without
himself.
Walk straight up to trouble if
it is coming your way, but don't
run after it. This is the only
certain way of making it look
small.
How they differ-a woman can
not run up telegraph pole, and
a cat can t run up store bill.
An honest confession that does
not reach down to the pocket
book is an injury to the soul.

Now is a critical time in the
history of business men. Some
merchants are content to adver-
tise during the holidays but the
shrewd and always successful
business man never permits his
business to slumber during the
so-called dull season. " Now is
the accepted time to advertise
and your business will prosper.

hundred thousand dollars viii be-

various schools should on that
date hold out for their share
not of the 100000, but Of the So,
100000. Governor Stones action,
we believe, was unconstitutional
and even the Governor has not
the power to reduce the appro-
priation one cent.

years ago the States Of West. Vir-

Pennsylvania has already ap-

With the beginning of 1900 a
new series Of lessons was taken
up by the Sunday schools, as
suggested by the international
Committee. The series will in
clude the great characters Of Bib
lical story, and the first win be
the life Of Jesus Christ The
lessons in the last named series
will occupy the next eighteen
months, after which the scheme
of lessons is to include biograph-
ical studies of the most eminent
men mentioned IN the Bible.
The whole will make a most inter
esting and instructive course.
1t is to be hoped that the people
OF the churches and Sunday
schools will take advantage of
this opportunity TO profit in Bib

and exchange views on the les

The Pennsylvania Fish Commission
had heard tales that the brown trout
with which some of the streams of the
State were stocked were particularly
susceptible to destruction from light

and they now announce that the stories
are true. 1t is the habit of the brown
trout to swim close to the bottom OF
the stream it frequents, and though he
