Thriyes on Scant Rations.

Musk oxen are found in the barren
lands of British America. the Parry
Archipelago and other lands to the
northward of the continent. They
prefer rocky, barren ground and noun
tains where ass and other food are
scarce. The musk oxen possess great
vitality and endurance; their breasts
are as broad and well developed as that
of a Norman horse. The meat on the
ham extends well down to their hooks.
While they vary in length from 5h
feet to 8 feet, they are in appearance
much larger, due to the huge mass Of
woody hair covering their bodies. Cen
eral Greedy, the explorer, in his gov
ernment report stated that he came
across one which weighed over 1000
pounds, although he stated that the
bulls usually vary from $50 to 800
pounds; the cws weigh about 20
pounds less. The flesh of the musk OK
is excellent; in fact, the Greedy party
owed much of its health to its diet of
this sort of flesh.

Learn to Save.

Merchants Journal.
The first lesson a man is given to
learn when be enrolIs in the school
which qualities for success is to put by
part of his salary every week. The
truest friend in times of adversely is
the bank account and the surest foun-
datlon upon which to build a fortune
is the accumulated savings OF months
and years. The habit of putting
money away is reflex in its action.
The money itselfis valuable accessory,
and the quality of mind and character
developed through this habit makes
for ultimate success. The man who
can calmly pass by the tinsel aud gilt
ter of civilized lite, whose money is
not drawn from his pockets by every
tinkling sound, is a man who Will have
small cause for complaint at the world g
treatment. He will develop beyond
the influence of trifes.
A man past forty remarked "If I
only bad a little money 1 could make
a fortune out of this device" "He
was sadly mistaken" las the comment
of A. P. Monroe in recent article.
"The fact that he had reached 40 on a
salaried position. without having saved
money, was proof positive that he had
not enough power of resistance success
fully to handle any kind of an enter
prise. Sharper, shrewder people would
get his money away from him, Just as
they had been getting it away from
him for twenty years." When mans
ambition is not stronger force with
him than theatres, cigars, fancy ties,
expensive boardipg-houses, slot ma
chimes, and such agencies, his life will
be devoted to supporting parasites.
A man who cannot Withstand trivial
temptations to spend money has not
in him a stiff enough backbone to
make success OF any venture. He
could be turned aside from his under
taking by the first bauble that caught
his eye, like some irfant. enthralled
with toy ballon. The cafes, soda
fountains. the places of amusement,
all furnish temptation to young man
to part With his money. 1t his ideal,
the purpose within him, is not strong
er than those outside inducements his
salary will be FILTERED away on unneces-
sary expenditures, and his lie Will be
failure. 1t is the order of mind such
a course OF action indicates that spells
failue, not the mere fact of being with
out money, though the possession OF
small sum of money has often made
ultimate success possible.
