CHILDREN AND CASH.
Should Boys and Girls in school Have
Spending Money:


An investigation which by many will
be regarded as singular was conduct
ed recently in large school in ST.
Paul. 1t had for its purpose to deter
mine in general the notion which chill
dren have of the practical uses of
money
A list of questions was furnished by
the professor, which the children an
swered in writing, ms in an ordinary
examination. The questions sought to
determine the child's estimate of mon.
ey which he had acquired in three dif-N
ferent ways, namely by gift, suggest
ing partial restraint as to spending;
by earning, the most difficult means Of
acquiring. and by finding. by which
he acquired with least difficulty. 10
these ends the following questions
were asked:
"If you are given money about how
much each weekT
"If you earn money, about how much
each week?'
"What do you do with your money!"
ar you ever found money, what dill
you do with it?'
"If you had 81 to spend as you liked.
what would you buy?'

in amounts ranging from five cents TO
50 per week OF those who thus re-
ceived money flfty-seven per cent
made useful disposition of it, and of
the 256 children who had found money
twenty-eight per cent. put 1t to useful
purposes. A noteworthy characteristic
of the answers to the question relative
to finding money was that sixty-four
per cent. of those who had done so
expressed having made attempt to re-
store il to the loser. and that eighty
two per cent. of those who had not
found money stated that if they should
do so they would "try to find the

pal or teacher to be restored to the
owner. The professor regards this as
indicating the honesty of children in
general and as furnishing a point for
explanation by the materialists, who
look upon child as little savage and
upon boyhood and girlhood as a period
Of low moral tendencies.

The Tortoise as a weather Prophet.

Though the tortoise is an excellent
weather prophet the fact is known to
comparatively few people. Tortoise
farmers on the African coast notice
that even twenty-four hours before
rain falls these curious animals pre-
pare for 1t by seeking the convenient
shelter Of overhanging rocks. 1t may
be bright, clear, sunshiny morning
but the farmers believe implicitly in
the tactics Of the tortoise. who is sell
dom mistaken, for the downpour Is
certain to come within the time stated.
A pet tortoise would be practical
present to bestow on ones friends.
This curious premonition of the az.
proach of rain is shared by many 9th
er animals and birds and may be cy-
planned partially by the fact that while
rain is forming the atmosphere is de
creasing in weight, but there may also
be some need of moisture which makes
them aware OF its approach or some
habits of life which make them thus
sensitive.-Chicago Record.

The man had consumption, and when
the doctor had declared that his death
was only question of few days, at
most, a letter was sent son and a
daughter of the moribund negro who
reside in Atlanta, informing them OF
the critical condition of their father.
The two held a consultation and decld-
ed to manifest filial devotion by send
inc a present to the sick man. Several
articles were suggested, but finally
only two were considered. These were
a suit of clothes and coffin. After de-
batting coffin versus clothes the de-
cision was in favor of the affirmative,
it being unanimously agreed that the
burial casket would be more useful
than the wearing apparel under the
circumstances.
This sensible conclusion having oeeh
reached the coffin was purchased anu

man to whom it was sent.
