miles were in America, 1S7,776 in
Europe, 1862 miles in Asia, 1868

The average cost Of construction of
the European railroads per mile is esti-

Long Joseph, Seven Feet Ten.

THE TRUE ECONOMY.
It Never Pays to Scrimp UNNECESSARILY

1t Never Pays to Scrimp Unnecessarily
Some Incidents.
The good policy of letting riches fly
to bring back more Is quantity illus
trated by Benjamin Franklin, while
Postmaster-G General, in telling Of the
American postoffice as it was before
the Revolution. In his inimitable way
he says:
1.-THE American office never had hith-
erto paid anything to that Of Great
Britain. We were to have $4,000 year
if we could make that sum out Of the
profits of the Office. To do this va
riety Of improvements were necessary.
Some Of these were inevitably at first
expensive, so that in the first four
years the office became about $4,000 in
debt to us. But it soon began to repay
us, and before I was displaced by a
freak of the ministers we had brought
it to yield three times as much clear
revenue to the crown as the postoffice
of Ireland"
Farsightedness, however, is not given
to all. The woman who, when the win
ter time drew on, starved her bullOcks
to save her hay until another year" un-
doubtedly thought she was the most
provident of women. The tradesman
who would never work by candlelight
because he wanted to save candle
surely thought himself pattern Of
prudence.
However, all is not waste that seems
so. The scholar must spend lavishly
for books; the housewife for improved
labor-saving devices; the farmer for the
latest machinery; the business man for
widespread advertisements; the artist
and artisan for tools pertaining to his
art and craft, if he would by spending
have the richer gettings.
Not all can do as we'll, to be sure, as

they died Of rot. THAT was i'll, In

Good judgment and certain long
Medicines are gifts Of the gods, and
save many man from lack, nay, even
increase his store, while too tightly
held purse string often means his un-
doing.
Never hesitate, then, to give up small
change for greater coin. Life, honor
