The Value of Saving.

In New York State the past year,
how widespread has been prosperity
is betokened by a report on savings
banks, which shows that one out of
every three persons in the State has
a bank account. The total amount
deposited was S264,S2 ,2O3.
In France, the Government offers in
ducements to school children to open
savings bank accounts. The Govern
ment of the United Etates plays no
such paternal role in encouraging thrift
among its people. It Is left to wise
mothers in this country to encourage
children to the virtue and sound bust
ness principle of saving. The spirit
ual paradox, ITO him that hath shall
be given, and from him that hath not
shall be taken away" is a stern, unre
lenting condition of business success.
Not alone is it true nowadays that "a
penny saved is a penny earned" but,
more and nor it is necessary to save
the penny in order to earn one. The
youth beginning life under present
economic conditions must have capital
and a capacity for acquiring it. Say
ing through childhood is a mean to
both these indispensable ends, and
the solemn truth of this should be re-
ligiously placed before the minds Of
the young.-Earper's Bazaar.

Seeing Stars.

If a man falls SO as to strike his
head violently on the pavement, or IL
he gets a blow over his eye, he is said
to "see stars" The cause of this cur
ious phenomenon is found in a pecul-
iarjty of the optic nerve. The func-
ton of that nerve is to convey to the
brain the impression Of light. 1t rec
ognizes nothing in the world but light.
1t is susceptible to no other impression;
or, if acted upon by any other agent,
it communicates to the brain the In
telligence of the presence of that agent
by sending along it's fibres flashes of
light only. Irritate this nerve with a
probe oil other instrument, and it con-
veys no sensation Of pain, but sim
ply that of luminous sparks. The pain
of the blow or the fall on the head
is realized through the nerves of gen.
eral sensation; but, unsusceptible to
pain or any other feeling, the optic
nerve sends to the brain its report OF
the shock by flashes, sparks and
"starS."-St. James Gazette.

ulAMoNp DIES USED NoM

Brass Wire Made AZ Fine CObwebs-COp~:
pers 10 Tlin as TO BE Transparent.
One Of the latest and most Wonder'
full DEVELOPMENTS In brass making Is
the use of the diamond die by means
of which ingot brass Is today drawn
down to wire of the flneness OF nine
tenths Of a thousandth part Of an
inch. Gays the Waterbury Comm cor
respondent of the New York Sun.
Steel may also be drawn nearly as
fine, and the two products when COM
pteted are as fine and soft as the
threads Of q cobweb, and are as waVy
and glossy as human hair.
The brass hair Is of a beautiful au-
burn color, while the steel Is OF an
iron gray. This wire Is about as
strong as u human hair and Is of value
for mechanical purposes, being In
great demand by makers Of electrical
apparatus. Never before was SO nne
wire drawn. Until recent years wire
was drawn through steel dies. The
development Of the diamond die to
its present stage Of perfection q
rendered possible the production or
much finer wire. In fact, the size OF
the wire now possible is limited only
by the ability to hold together as It
comes through the die.
The diamond die 10 made Of q lake
diamond looking not unlike a bit OK
isinglass. The hole through which
the wire 70 drawn Is drilled through
the diamond, and the stone Is then
stuck on a steel slab with glue, direct
~ " q hole In the slab which is a
tri1e larger than that in the diamond.
The wire to be drawn Is then lAd
through the diamond 80 that the stone
bears steadily against the slab. This
keeps the diamond In position.
The brass ingots from which The
cobwebby wire is made are four inch
es square and long enough to weigh
about $50 pounds. One Of these VIII
make miles Of the cobweb wire. 1t
10 first put through steel rolls until
1t 10 reduced to the size Of ones finger,
and then it is drawn by machinery
through a set of steel dies, gradually
decreasing in diameter, until 1t comes
out in the shape Of the wire of the
hnenesc seer in the ordinary trades.
Then it is put through q set of eight
diamond dies. the diameter Of the last
being the infinitesimal part Of an inch
indicated above.
Another curious thing in this brass
making country Is the development OF
hydraulic rolls which are so scientific
ally adjusted that a copper cent may
be rolled out under them to the size
Of al enormous platter, and to thin
ness that amounts to transparency.
90 that q newspaper may be read
through the metal. The operation has
to be conducted with great care. One
Of the cents thus rolled out was sent
to Queen Victoria as a curiosity some
time ago, and the Queen returned o
letter thanking the workmeu.

| separated us forever.
The horses were unhurt, though I'M
| able to extricate themselves, and 1t
| was some time before Tom could re-
pair the wagon SO that we could go
on. It had been blown UP against a
| tree and broken; but Tom followed the
| good old fashion of those days, of car
| rying plenty of stout string in his peck
| cts, and so was able to mend up the
broken places where it was necessary.
Me he actually carried up the ravine
where he could place me in the wagon;
my ankle had swollen frightfully, and
panied me exceedingly, besides.
"Now," he said, getting into the
wagon himself, 1--WE must hurry. I've
got to meet Teenie, though the heavens
fall" and he gave me q comical glance.
He hadn't explained who "Teenie'
was, nor did I care to ask. After the
experiences Of the last twenty min
utes my jealousy looked to me mex
presslbly contemplate. 1--WE meant
it for a surprise to you, DEAR" Tom
said presently, "but perhaps I'd better
tell you. You don't guess who Tee
ME- is, foolish little girl?"
I shook my head. "Tom, I don't
care! I trust you now, utterly"
"Then I must tell you that 1t was the
old pet name by which I called AIDE
laide Saunderson. I hadn't thought of
it for years before, nor, do I suppose,
had she; but she resurrected the name
for the occasion. She is coming for @
two months stay and al especially
anxious that you should not be told,
as she wanted to surprise you. ] guess
she has. Anyway, you surprised me-"
Don't, Tom," I sobbed. Tom drew
me closer.
"Under the circumstances, l didn't
want to let it go SO; but she was very
strenuous, and Adelaide is so intense
that I had to let her have her way.
When I read your note 1 could have
killed myself for allowing it. Forgive
me, JOSIE" and Toms voice grew very
tender.
Forgive you? Oh, Toni" I sobbed,
when I was SO dreadful"
"There, there!" he said, %soothingly.
"Let's call it square. Besides, we're
almost there; and I can't drive up to
the station with your eyes in that con-
dition. I'm afraid Adelaide will think
it wasn't much of a success-hcr sur-
prise"
I wipSd up as we'll as I could, al.
though I fear Adelaide received a
rather fearful welcome, after all.
Adelaide Saunderson was Toms
cousin, and had always taken the place
of the sister he never had. l don't
know what I should have done with
out '"Teenie," as we began calling her
again; for my baby was born the next
morning, and my own life hung in the
balance a long time after.
That was u only quarrel-if I may
call it so. And, as Tom says, 'the
very idea Of our getting along sepa-
rately is enough to bring on a cyclone!"

An incident which occurred at one
of the receiving points for the Calves
ton contributions shows the power Of
the widows mite. A workingman,
bearing some Of the tools of his trade,
with hands begrimmed with toll,
stepped to the counter, and putting
down a quarter, sententiously said,
"for the Galveston sufferers" "What
is the manner" he was asked. Never
mind the name" was the answer, "but
send It to those who need it." That
came from the heart" said a gentle
man standing by, who was attending
to some other business. aPut me
down for twenty-five dollars" And
thus the workingman's contribution
was multiplied a hundred fold.
