Practical Economy

There are a great many people whp strive
TO be economical, but their efforts are not
practical.
They do not pay enough attention to de-
tails and often deprive themselves Of neces-
stiles as a result. One Of the most i'm
portant features which we will mention is
the case of metallic articles. Few persons
seem to realize what a saving can be e.
fectcd by taking care of the things they
possess which are made of metal. The
Omaha Plating co. replates anything metallic,
m gold, silver, nickel, copper, brass OF
bronze. Size don't cut any figure; they

during the day and it is not unusual for
them to be heard at midnight, and they
always mingle with the voices of a myriad
of cocks growing all over the city at 5 and
6 o'clock in the morning.
The people go to bed early and rise early.
The first thing We hear in the morning is
the sweeping of the streets or the running
of the hydrant after the cock Growing ana
the ringing of the bells has ceased. Fires
are lighted by the poorer class at an early
hour, by many before it is fairly light, and
the women prepare breakfast, so the men
can go about the live-long day in many in
stances doing nothing, and an easy time
they have. The women too, for that mat
ter. 1t is safe to say that there are no
poor people on earth who are more CON
