was forced to wage with the beasts of
| the forest for his daily food learned one
| day that he could double his offensive
power by the employment of a club.
/ That made it easier for him to supply
his needs. On days when he was fairly
fortunate he could gather in a two
| days supply of the things he needed,
and so the process of accumulation was
| begun.
Presently he took another forward
step He learned to kill his prey at Il
distance by the propulsion of a stone,
| and again the conditions of his exist
cnce were ameliorated Then he dis
| covered how to frame a weapon by
| arlning his club with Il flint and his ad-
vantage over the unreasoning brute to
which nature has denied the inestin-
able gift of prehensile hand and all
opposing thumb was further accentu-
ated. Slowly the long and wearisome
ascent was made and through the stone
and iron ages, when human beings
hunted and killed the wild beasts and
each other, man at last arrived at the
age where written history finds him,
the age of the shepherd and the hus-
bandman.
The process of accumulation had now
been carried as far as the conditions in
operation permitted. Instead of living
in precarious way from hand to
mouth on the daily proceeds of the
chase, men had in their flocks and
herds an assurance of food for days or
weeks or months to come. The thrift
which had set aside from the store of
today something for the consumption
of tomorrow had laid the foundation OF
all the civilization that was to come.
Everything that we see around us. all
the wonderful improvements which
make life so much easier and more
agreeable, all the material achieve
ments of which the age is inclined to be
so proud, have been made possible by
those who through the exercise of pru-
denCe and self-denial, have rCfrained
from each day consuming the daily in
come and through Accommodations re-
sulting from their self-control and
superior intelligence.
And yet in view of the great things
which have been accomplished through
its fundamentally it is astonishing TO
what a limited extent this great virtue.
the virtue of thrift, is practiced. At
least that is the case in these United
States. There are countries-France IS
prc-eminently one of them-where the
habit of saving is practically universal.
Every one saves n certain proportion
OF his income. But the American Is In
clired to extravaganza. With him it is
easy come, easy go, and he takes so lit
tie heed for the future that it is said
not more than ten persons out of a
hundred when they die leave any estate
behind them.
Every one ought to lay by something.
rot merely as a provision against a
future rainy day. but as foundation
for better fortunes. The man who has
gathered together a little capital, a
thousand. even a hundred dollars. has
secured a fulcrunl upon which to rest
his lever and to him everything has be-
come possible. Thus the most impor-
tant cay in many a mans life is the
day on which he carried his first money
to savings bank and opened his first
account there.-Philadelphia Inquirer.

cle." explained the self-constituted
lecturer otherwise the cork would
break In half. So first we cut across
lor the length of the cork, then we cut
with the grain for the width Of the
| cork. Now these little pieces are
ready to be turned into the finished
article.
Picking up one or two of the cubes,
the cutter moved across the floor to
| where one Of the machines was stand
ing. Don't put your fingers near the
blade he cautioned hastily. "There's
nothing sharper than the blade OF this
knife. It's made OF the very best and

Twenty-siX inches of sharp blade

must be absolutely perfect. or the stuff
is torn; and if that blade goes wrong
1t takes me one complete day to grind
it into order again-a very hard days
work it is, too.'
How do YOU manage to keep it
sharp" asked one of the party. The
man laughed.
ut is ground after each cork Is cut"
he replied. Eff not the second cork
would be perceptibly inferior TO the
first one
SO much sharpening seemed to imply
vast amount of labor until he point
ed to couple of small, dark wheels
fixed to the machine in such manner
that the blade passed along them each
time it was drawn back. These small
wheels were of the finest possible
emery, and automatically ground the
blade after every cork in turn. No oil
was used at all. SO he explained, and
he then proceeded TO demonstrate the
working of the machine. Pushing a
wide basket close to the other side OF
the machine, he took up his position
on TIE left-hand side, drew n tray of
pieces of cork to him. and, selecting Il
short length, set it against small
wheel which was placed almost against
the blade and at right angles to it.
Then he pressed with his foot upon a
treadle and instantly a short point
moved forward, pressing on to the
other end of the piece of cork and thus
holding it against the wheel.
When secured between these two he
removed his fingers, Srasped the up
right handle of the long blade. and
pushed it steadily forward; and in the
twinkling of an eye the piece of rough
cork had assumed familiar aspect.
The pressure of the blade against the
cork caused the little wheel (and with
it, of course, the cOrk) to rerOlve. and
in its turn this same spinning allowed
the knife to cut evenly all the way
round the cork. BY the time the
blade had been pushed to the furthest
extremity of the machine the cork had
been neatly pared all around; then the
treadle was released and the cork
rolled away with a final spin into the
basket awaiting it the other side.
1t was also shown that the machine
can be set to produce any taper de-
sired.
