The Rise in the River.

1t is little short of astonishing TO see
how little water is required 10 float the
southern river steamers. a boat loaded
with perhaps 1000 bales of cotton slip
ping alonG contcntedly where a hoy could
wade across the stream.
Not long ago, however, the Chattahoo-
chez got too low for even her light
draught commerce, and at Gunboat
Shoals a steamer grounded AS the
drinking water Oh board needed rcplen-
ishing, n deckhand was sent ashore with
couple of water buckets.
Just at this moment a northern travel
er approached the captain Of the boat
and asked him how long he thought they
would have to stay there.
oh, only until that man gets back
with a bucket of water to pour into the
river" the captain replied. Presently
the deckhand returned, and the stale WA
ter from the cooler was emptied over
hoard. Instantly. to the amazement Of
the traveller, the boat began to move.
We'll, if that don't beat thuuderi' he
gasped.
The fact was that the boat. touching
the bottom, had acted as dam. and
there was soon backed up behind her
enough water to lift her over the shoaI

ANIMALS LIKE A JOKE.
They Pull Tails, Make Up Faces and

Animals with a sense of humor. or
signs of one anyway, are described by
writer in the Strand. He tells of a
female baboon that delighted in teasing
a certain watch dog.
As soon as the dog settled himself
for a d0Ze, the bab00n would steal up
and give the canine vicious tug. OF
course the dog would 90 for her. but she
would simply wait till he got close
enough then leap over his head and from
behind give his tail another pull.
A SiameSc monkey was being brought
to Europe on steamer with several oth-

have nothing to do with him.

Saving and Spending.

The American woman is pre-emlnent in
many things. But her best friends can
hardly claim for her that she is a careful
saver or Il wise Spender. The most in
telligent woman in the world in many re-
spects. she is not always intelligent on
these two important points. She can
earn mOney-no doubt Of that. But econ
omy is to her the dismal science. and
investment q matter of speculation. lit
orally. Only in New England has econ
omy become Il part of character, as it
ought to be. For money, i'll any guam
tity, is power, and power is response
bility.
The girl who spends her allowance in
candy and matinee tickets is relaxing
the moral fiber of her own character.
She graduates into the woman who buys
a spangled lace robe. which She really
could do without. because it is cheap or
because she has little extra money on
hand. The true view of economic life. =
insists an authority OH financial ques-
tions, requires that every expenditure
be regarded as an act that involves u
moral question, as indeed it does. 1t is
a moral act if it be necessary and wise.
If it be unnecessary and unwiSe it is i'm
moral. for it is the misuse of so much
power as the money stands for Per
haps this may be called a counsel of
perfection. But it would bring, if fol-
lowed, peace and prosperity into many
a household where debt and financial
chaos now reign. ''Why can't we have
bills? Then we could put all the people
off" argued a bride of few months
with her young husband, a professional
man, striving to make his way on an
income of $500. She was the product
of a first-rate boarding school, and the
child of a family high in social position.
But she was utterly uneducated IN the
morals of handling money.
Financial independence. for most famf-
lies. can only be secured nv careful.
steady saving and equally careful spend
ing. Such saving and spending mean
self-cOntrol-the very root of all high
character. The grocer's bill. the bargain
counter. are moral tests. There is a
great deal said and written nowadays
about the business woman" using the
phrase to describe the women who earns
money. But all women. in their relation
to money. are business women. The
earning of money is one branch of brsi-
ness: the distribution of money is anoth-
er quite as important one. Both require
integrity. self-control. and determination
to do ones best. if the business woman
is to succeed. The wife who has the
spending of her husbands income can
double its purchasing value if she has
made a study of the art. Tried by this
standard. it is hardly a credit to the
American wOman's intelligence to count
up the households where no money Is
saved. where small debts accumulate.
and where shopping is one of the amuse-
ments of life.-Harper's Bazaar.

Queens Taller Than Kings.

Some enterprising chronicler has been
taking notes on the respective heights of
the Kings and Queens of Christendom
and furnishes the following data:
King Edward is quite six inches short
er than Queen Alexandra.
The Car is overtopped a full head by
the Czarina.
Kaiser Wilhelm is above medium
height but the German Empress is very
tall. and that, they say, is the reason
that the proud HOhenzollern will never
be photographed beside his wife, unless
she sits while he stands.
The King of Italy, short and squat.
hardly reaches to the shoulder of the
tall, athletic Queen Helena.
The King of Portugal, though he
would make up amply in girth, fails of
the height of lis Queen.
The Prince Of Wales is some four
inches shorter than the princess.
The young King Of Spain is topped by
some inches by the English Princess
Ena, and the homely but good Queen Of
Denmark literally towers above her lord.

Don't Talk of Yourself.

well as good ConverSationalist. Ii is
much more fan art To draw out the
best thoughts of other people than it is
to converse well oneself One often
meets intelligent persons who never enter
a room full of people without monopo;iz-
ing the conversation. Their faculty for
useless chatter is unlimited. and their
conversation is literally intersperscd with
the pronoun Il.
Nell-hred people have wholesome
dislike Of talking about themselves. One
never knows how much they know. or
what wonderful sights they have seem
unless some circumstance occurs to bring
il out 1t is left for the person of few
IDEAS and narrow vision to keep up Il
ceaseless chatter. 1t is the occasional
traveller who seeks to impress upon her
friends the fact that she has seen some
thing of the world. She never misses Il
chance of speaking about it, While this
is not an objectionable fault. il is a dis
agreeable one, which sometimes causes
the inyetcrate talker to be spoken of in
terms anything but complimentary.
