The exertion required to make a
comma does not count with writer,
and the time involved is inconsider-
able. Not to insert comma, however,
may lead to large cost of time, and
an altogether disproportionate amount
of money. A recent suit in an impor-
tant court was brought because the
omission OF a comma left the meaning
of document in doubt. The expense
which it entailed, which a stroke Of
the pen would have saved, shows that
economy in punctuation may be at
least first cousin to extravaganza.
Great quantities of dust collect on
the decks of vessels at sea, no matter
If they are swept twice or thrice a

ing vessels. The inference is that the
sails act as dust collectors, arresting
the particles which dyift in the air.

FOREIGN THRIFT.

The economies practiced by very
many OF our foreign born citizens when
they first begin life in this country
seem very queer and strange to us.
These methods are the Inevitable out
growth Of their hard conditions In the
mother country, fastened into life hab-
it's, with the result that when applied
to American conditions singular de-
gree of financial prosperity is Insured
20 these people. While some of these
practices are really penny wise ana
pound foolish" when applied here and
are in time somewhat modified, Still
the primary idea Of thrift saving and
economy is never entirely oblterated
until the third generation, when their
progeny lets things 60 wide open just
like Il native born American. The wo-
men of the first importation never get
over the notion of working in the
fields, Of gathering the brushwood for
the kitchen fire and of working the
family garden just as they used to in
the little plot which served as gar
den in the fatherland. The average
American farm needs nothing worse
than a liberal application of some Of
these old fashioned and foreign ideas
If economy and saving, and this is not
Implying that American women should
do aught on the farm than care for the
farm home.

TRACKS AND TRAGEDIES.

4 two inch fall of snow came ono
tight without any wind and lay the
lrXt day like Il pure white blanket over
ali the woods and fields. Now, here
was the opportunity to see something
for one who liked to read out of ma
lures book. Here in the silent woods
were tracks of the few forms of animal
and bird life which brave our northern
vintcrs-Lcrc rabbit track meander-
Ing in and out among the newly relieo
tops of n poplar tree and spots Where
lc had sat on his launches to get his
early breakfast from the juicy bark,
little farther on evidence that he was
frightened. as leap OF six rect had
been made in the direction of friendly
hollow log; here squirrels tracks as
he slid down from his nest in the hole
Of an old oak and dug away at his little
store of acorns hidden last fall for just
such winter days meal; there he sits
on an old bur. with his tail curlcd over
his back, his sharp teeth working like
the shuttle Of sewing machine:
little farther on an old log, sheetcd like
n corpse, with teiltaic Geometric tracks
running from end to end, where
rufled grouse leisurely walked; at the
end Of the log feathers and spatter"
ing of blood and the crescent shaped
pattern of an owls wing as in the early
morning he dropped silently down on
the king of game birds and bore him
off to his hole in the heart of the big
black walnut down by the river; here
another track beside the rabbits, that
of the red fox; nip and tuck it was
with them, and then trampled snow
and bits Of fur and more blood, show
ing how Rcynard got his morning meal;
here the track of a house cat proving
along the edge OF the timber, then evil
dence Of crouch and a mighty spring
and another tragedy showing where
Geld mouse fell victim. AS we cross
the open field Il shrike settles down ON
the barbed wire fence. and we see him
leisurcly impale Il mouse on one or the
barbs, and thus does the snow tel the
tale Of the never ending tragedies ip
wild life only thus rarely seen and
read.
