When gas was discovered In Marion
the town began to grow rapidly, and
competition In all business was soon
encountered by all the old local mer-
chants. The new merchants adver-
tised, but many OF the old established
firms were slow In believing that II
was necessary for them to use print

man In the county. All OF them who
are now In business concluded that Il

absolutely refused, claiming It was
money thrown away. The firm had the
best business site in the city, but the
store was never flled with shoppers.
Thousands passed and repassed the
place day after day without stopping.
The frm carried an excellent line Of
goods and treated customers well, but
only a few farmers and some Of the
old citizens OF Marion patroniEed the
place. The store is now closed for IN

spermaceti, half ounce; cocoanut oil,
once ounce; lanolin, one ounce; oil of
sweet almonds, two ounces; half ounce
each of alcohol and elderf1ower water,
and four drops of benzoin. Cut up
the wax and the spermaceti very fine
and put in a porcelain-lined kettle;
add the almond oil, the lanolin and
cocoanut oil; set the kettle in a pan
of hot water Git should not boil) !;
have the alcohol and eTderfower wa
ter hot (by setting the dish containing
them in dish of hot water), and beat
them very gradually into the wax and
oils with an egg-beater, keeping all
ingredients warm. When nearly cold,
add the tincture Of benzoin, drop by
drop, and the perfume, if any is to be
used. Beat all until it is smooth. Be-

is rather coarse for constant use on the

The duty of laying up some provision
for the future, of preparing for the rainy
day of sickness, misfortune, or old age,
is incumbent on every householder. If
there is an income that can be depended
upon, no matter how small, some part
of it should be regularly laid aside, and
some thought should be taken for the
future when there may be need and
feebleness and inability for effort
This is so obvious truth that no ar
gument is called for to sustain it. In
theory we all accept it. and reflect with
more or less severity on the needless
people who go dancing through the days,
taking no steps to secure the coming
nights from disaster and sorrow. The
parable of the foolish virgins who took
no oil in their vessels for their lamps
has more than one modern application.
In practice, a vast number of busy
Americans throw prudence to the winds
and scorn the homely and commonplace
virtue of mere thrift. They habitually
live up to their income, perhaps never
going beyond its limit: but saving moth
ing. BY and by they mean to save, but
saving implies self -denial, makes nee
essary good deal Of sacrifice, and alto
gether is a thing that is rather out of
fashion and not in the least agreeable.
Frugality wears a stern face. It
speaks in an uncompromising voice. 1t
frowns on Indulgence to the flesh, and
on the pomps and vanities. We will save
tomorrow, cry the easy-going, light
hearted crowd who always see to-mor-
row through roseate mists, and to-day
we will have good time and enjoy our
selves.
