tMrs. c. N. Williamson, in the London
 Chronicle.)
 When l was in America the other day I discovered that the most mis- understood creature in the world, by the Oli World, Is the American mil- iionaire.
 The fact is that nobody can possibly understand him--himself less than any others perhaps-which makes things very awkard for him.
 Other milIonaires of other coun- tries are much easier to understand They are good or they are bad; some tnnes very good. or very bad. They car be mixtures, but mixtures are the execution, whereas they are the rule in America.
 am not at all sorry for the Ameri- can mllllonaires' wives and daughters. or other female belongings, for they have glorious times fin life, and the world is their oyster. But 1t is not the millonaire's oyster, and If It were. 1t would be too indigestible for him 10 eat. That Is why l am sorry for him. Poor dear. he has so little for his money, He is always working to get the oyster, and when 1t is got, working to open it--for other people.
 TO be sure, they are generally his own people, and he can be as hard as nails to others when he chooses-but, oh, how soft, how pathetically soft, that American millionaire is to his own! Some day l am going to write a story called Pity the Sorrows of the Poor Millonaire,' The hero will be an American millionaire, and 1t will be a frightfully pathetic story, which will bring tears to the eyes anyway, to the eyes of the author,
 He can be young, or he can be old; 1t really won't matter, and I haven't t decided yet Or perhaps there will be two Of him, one of each. His sor- rows will have to be of different kind according to his age. of course, but they will he just as hard to bear, and just as narrowing to read about.
 already knew a few--a very few millIonaires when I went to New York the last time, and 1 met several more while | was there a few weeks ago, But they were all alike, in the matter of being entirely different from mil lionairos of other lands, even selected quite at random, with no idea of as- sorting shapes and sizes,
 It struck me in comparing other mIllonaires with American million aires that the others almost all tried to enjoy themselves when they had made their money or inherited 1t from someone else. But the American mil

 paper money, which bccomeH 10 greasy and begrimed by a
 of the multitude that it is simply waste paper, incapable of renovation into useful substance. II Is this thrift which most of all causes France to ranks high among the wealthy nations or the earth
 For lt is by thrift that nations, ns well as individuals, maintain their wealth. Natural resources may make them wealthy, but it takes thrift to keep them so, This is true of the United States as much as it is of France, or of any other land IL has been estimated recently that our country because it is learning to turn its waste to profit, will make more out of this one source of revenue than formerly it made from it's staple prod- ucts.
 To-day fully one-ffth of the profit of the cotton crop is made out of the cottonseed meal, which formerly was thrown away. Tn the future corn stalks win be used to make our paper. Rubbish will furnish light for our cit ies
 What nation regards as worth its while to undertake should not be thought by individuals to he beneath their dignity Methods of thrift differ, but the principle beneath them all Is one and the same. Money saved is money earned and money possessed is present opportunity, Real thrift Is not sef-denial only; 1t Is choice like wise. Each time the truly thrifty person saves he makes a choice in favor of some interior advantage.
 Therefore intelligence is needed In the exercise of thrift, Many arc the follies committed in this homely vir- tues name. The woman who gets up at o'clock in the morning in order that she may set her bread to rise with half the ordinary quantity of yeast is as misguided and ridiculous as the tradesman who splits a raisn Go make his pound even. The former is prodigal of precious energy; that latter is weighing his own soul in the scales for an infnltesimal price
 Thrift at it's best is, then, intelligent use of advantages of which both substance and opportunity form part. Just because it is silly to Save at the spigot and waste at the hungholo'' there is no reason why both spIgot and bunghole should not he watched.
 The man who saves grows rich and gains q place in the community The careful housewife has a pleasant home run ineXpcnsively Savings put by mean q secure tomorrow But. best of all, money means opportunity for him who has it and he who saves on essentials has chance Ia gain some greater good thereby.

THRIFT IN AMERICA We Do Not Know How to Save Money Should Copy the
 French.
THE FRENCH HOUSEWIFE
Intelligence Is Needed-interesting Custom In Vogue to Save In the
 Quantity of Yeast.

Americans in general are none the worse for a little practical instruction in old World thrift. The science of making both ends meet has been sup erseded in America by the expedient of making both ends longer. Prodi- rality is the rule with us. We are nation of money makers and money spenders, not of money saVers.,It has been said of us truly that ours is the only civilized country on the globe which does not encourage thrift among the masses of its people, says the Chicago News.
 The evils of such system are self evident. The value of dollar be- comes a doubtful quantity in the hands of its possessor Waste both of substance and of energy, is inevit- able. HabituaI prodigallty results in. galse standards of personal worth and An deterioration Of moral fibre. A certain sturdy quality of character. of which the word "No" is the eloquent expression, is sacrificed
 In France one has an opportunity 10 study thrift fin It's most provident form, For there thrift is not casual foresight, practised genially as an un- obtrusive and not ungracious virtue. If js part of the daily thought and outlook of the people. IL has q gaunt- or aspect than with us and wears Q scantier garment. Nor is it self effacing or seeking for concealments. II stares at you In tho streets, shows in the faces of the people, greets you q hundred times an hour alternately iu pleasant and unpleasant ways.
 The principle of thrift as normally applied in France IS admirable. The French housewife buys exactly enough for her need and no more whether or fuel or food or clothing. The groo" CTS clerk tips the scale on 6 pound of sugar with ncety, careful that the house he works for shali not lose q single grain in favor of a customer. Nothing is wasted anywhere in France by French people, The forests are swept clean Of loose timber and of fallen twigs. The leaves of the plane trees in the Paris parks are saved as fertilizers, to be used in the govern ment greenhouses,
