BANKS CARE OF CENTS.

A simple illustration will show the
care that is taken of cents by the First
National Bank of Chicago. Stamped
postal cards are not used, and not one
of the thousands of routine letters that
are written every day is stamped or
sealed until the whole routine mail OF
the day is assembled in the afternoon.
Then all the cards and letters to one
correspondent are put in single en-
velope and-except for letters from the
officers and the like-the bank comes
as near as possible to getting its en-
tire mail carried at two cents an ounce.
or a cent for every postal card, instead
of often paying cents for a quarter
of an ounce, as it would have to do if
every communication were sealed and
stamped separately. This little matter
of getting full value out of 2-cent
stamp makes saving of from s25 to
$50 a day.-The Worlds Work.

LISTENING 10 MUSIC.

People often get intensely excited in
listening to music-letting their emo
tions run rampant and suffering in
consequence a painful reaction of fa-
tigue. If they would learn to yield so
that the music could pass over their
nerves as it passes over the strings of
a musical instrument, and then, with
the new life and vigor derived from the
enjoyment, would turn to some useful
work, they would find a great expan-
sion in the enjoyment of the music as
well as new pleasure in their work.
If we enjoy good music and gloat over
our personal pleasure in it, so to speak,
it takes the life out of us. If we let
the music carry us along instead or
trying, in our excitement. to carry the
music, it brings new life to us.-Annie
Payson Call, in Leslie's Monthly.

1t appears that one Sunday the lady
induced the nurse, who is the strictest

"One would miss beauty, I suppose;
but the tragedy would be to have
some dreadful accident, to lose leg,
for instance, and never be able to go

of that. If that happened to me I
should kill myself. But why specu-

Roman Emperor philosopher:

The subject of economy was
broached. Miss Russell is understood
to be an advocate of economy. She
was putting on a big, black velvet hat,
a somber frame for perfect face,
while she talked.
"Yes, girls should save money, she
said. THE girl who earns SIS week
should save $40. When she earns $50,
she should save s25." She put her hat
on as French women do, drawing it up
from the back of the head first, poising
it daintily at last on top Of her head
and turning slowly before the tripli-

that it was equally becoming at all
angles.
