The Saving Women.

If we are to believe the old prov
erb, which says that savings good
earning" then the earning capacity Of
women always has been greater than
that Of men.
Oh, the saving women Of the worldl
The women who sit up late making
over last seasons clothes to save buy
ing new ones; the women who stealth
lily tiptoe across the floor to turn down
the gas when papa dozes over his
newspaper; the women who darn huge
holes in basketsful Of stockings; the
women who have a cracked teapot or
old pocketbook into which they drop
stray dimes and quarters, taking the
accumulations to the savings bank
with guilty secrecy; the women who
wash out pieces of carpet to make
them appear fresh and new, who turn
the trimmings on their hats, and clean
their gloves with gasoline, and cut
down the clothes of Willie aged IA, to
fit Jimmie, aged 10. Bless them, every
one!
There Is another sort of saving
which might properly be termed hoard
ing. 1t consists in laying down rugs
to prevent the nap Of the carpets from
wearing, in putting paper covers on
prettily bound books, in locking up the
little girls French doll. We read the
other day of a woman who made a
plush cover for the rosewood piano,
and linen cover for the plush, and
a newspaper mat for the linen. We
hope there are not many women like
her. In this sort Of saving there is
often an admixture Of folly.
There is yet another kind. Saving
car fare at the cost Of an exhausted
body, saving lunch money and "skimp-
ing" the table, just as if you could
cheat nature without mourning retri-
button; saving the price OF eyeglasses
at the cost Of impaired or perhaps de-
stroyed eyesight; saving money earned
by the overstraining Of mental and
physical powers.
Woman is not always wise in her
economies, we fear, but the verb Ito
save" is certainly feminine. -Philadel-
phia Ledger.

The Ec.nomical Woman.

Economical? Oh, yes, woman is
economical-very, grumbled the ill
natured benedict.
"She cuts herself down to q misery
luncheon in order to save 10 cents; and
half an hour later spends so cents on
collar she doesn't need because it's
so pretty for the price
"She walks ten blocks to save 5
cents and then is SO tired and hot that
she spends 10 for plate Of ice cream.
"SLe says she wouldn't think of
getting a new hat this year because
she got one last year, but she pays one
and a half times the price Of a new
one to have her old one fetched up to
date
''She darns and darns and redarns
her stockings with self-righteous thrift,
and pays SO cents for a pair Of fancy
shoe strings.
"She haggles year in and year out
with a dull old scissors that would set
a man GUESSING, and never sees the
economy of having them sharpened or
occasionally investing in a new pair.
'She boards up all the old rusty,
bent nails and bits Of knotted string,
and brings them out upon occasion to
induce pounded fingers and profane
thoughts cents, five little
cents, would buy a whole ball Of strong
Irvine or a whole pound of shining
nails that would go in straight without
making a man perjure his soul.
ooh. YES. a woman is economical
very! But don't like her economical"

BETTING ON WATCHES.
Advice of Jewe1er Who Decides tho
Wagers.


In the windows of nearly all the
big retail jewelry stores down town
are chronometers. In fact, the chron-
ometer has become the most valuable
part of the window display.
Two .prosperous-looking men, after
comparing watches the other day with
one Of these chronometers, were seen
to go inside the store and few min
utes later to reappear. AS they did
so one Of the men passed roll Of
bills to the other. Then they laughed
shook hands, and separated.
The jeweler stood inside and smiled.
"It's funny" he said, "how many
people there are in this world who
have the betting fever and how fool
ishly they risk their money. These
two men are samples. Before the day
Is over I've no doubt half a dozen more
will be In to get me to decide similar
bets. Every day we have some.
"What did they bet on? Why, on
the nearness of their watches to the
correct time Of course, two men who
make such a bet have the betting
bunch to begin with. Then they're
also stuck on the watches they carry.
''There was the difference Of two
seconds between the watches in the
case you just noticed, but on that
$25 changed hands. I've known it to
be as high as hundred.
1.-THE difference between any two

second. It's generally more. But
when a bet is made men generally
want the jeweler to decide it, and, of
course, we're always willing. l guess
quite a few thousands have changed
hands on my decisions by this time.
"a man will get watch abroad
and pay big money for it. He'll meet
a friend who has bought one Of the
crack American watches, and If
they've got the sporting instinct bet
will almost invariably follow COM
parison of the watches.
perhaps both men have set their
watches that day or the day before,
and so are willing to wager all the
money they've got with them, and
that's often big roll
when one of them finds that his
watch, instead of being almost with
the chronometer, is, say, twenty-fiv
seconds out he's the most surprised
man in the world.
"A man who bets on watch, al
though he may think he's betting on
the surest thing in the world, is bet
ting on something more uncertain than
race horse. You can tell generally
when the horse isn't going to run well,
but you can't tell that about your
watch.
II wouldn't bet on the correctness
Of my time from here to the next block.
In Just that distance the handspring
might develop the weakness that no
test thus far devised can detect when
it's made, and your watch is off, Then
you lose your money If you're foolish
enough to bet on what YOU thought vas
sure thing" -Chicag go Inter Ocean.

Does Love Survive Marriage.

"You can't expect such love as that
to last" is an exclamation often utter
ed by worldly and practical people.
Frequently these prophets are any
thing but infallible in their predictions,
but alas! they are also frequently cor
rect. It is but natural that love should
not retain all the ardent, passionate
element that made the heart palpitate
and the face change color, during the
courtship days, but it becomes none the
less sincere and constant. AS mercy
tempers justice, SO marriage tempers
love-
A long, happy cOurtship is not an
infallible test of true love. nor is it
criterion for its permanency. 1t is the
actual experience after marriage, the
acqua intance with the worries and
troubles of married life, that decide the
matter. The survival Of love after
marriage depends upon both husband
and wife; it depends upon the quail
ties. the powers of realization and to
a great extent the home training Of
each. Sensible, thoughtful young peo-
pie should not treat the subject Of
marriage lightly as a mere diversion,
a mere romance for a few months or
years. Hence they would not be dis

much sacrifice; in fact, for the highest
