A millionaire, hoping to encourage
his young son in ways of thrift prom
Used to give him per cent a month in
terest upon any money that he might
save out of his allowance and deposit
in the paternal treasury. The young
man was getting Is IA week for pocket
money and promised to show his ap
probation of his fathers affectionate
offer He began to make deposits
without delay and kept the practice up
with remarkable regularity.
The old gentleman noticed presently
that the deposits exceeded the whole
of the boys allowance. but accounted
for this by supposing that he had
saved some money previously. Besides
this. he received money frequently
from his mother. So the fond parent
rejoiced in the saving disposition that
his son was displaying.
This continued until the boys de
posts assumed such dimensions as to
demand an explanation. 1t then turned
out that most of the money he had
been depositing had been borrowed
Inasmuch rs he was drawing interest
on his deposits at per cent per month
and was paying only 10 per cent per
year for them he had found the bust

THE FOLLY or PROFANITY.

In the good old times, good old
fashioned mothers were sometimes
heard to threaten to wash out the
mouths Of their boys, as cure against
that foolish habit of profanity. 1t
may be that some of them carried the
threat into execution and did wash
the mouths OF the offending boys with
soap and water. It would not be a
bad thing If some boys were subjected
to that sort of treatment now.
IF 1t did not break them of the habit
entirely 1t would show them what
their good mothers think about 1t and
would do them good all their lives.
There are lots of grown men, some of
them men Of prominence, leaders in
public life, who seem to imagine that
they cannot emphasize what they have
tosay without interlarding their words
and sentences with profanity. The
man who cannot give emphasis to
what he has to say without that is
the man whose words, as he estimates
them himself, lack the weight that
will carry with them the emphasis
which he would give them. The
best thinkers and takers do not have
toresort to profanity as sort of crutch
with which their language will be able
to do duty Journal and Tribune.

BUTTER LASTED fH1RTEEN YEARS.

As showing that it is a question
only of temperature and air faint that
keeps butter good long time it is
related that Delaware man thirteen
years ago churned a couple CT pounds
of butter and for lack of an icebox
placed it in bucket and lowered it
part way down his well.
Two days later the price of butter
dropped in his town market, and with
sort of unionlike sympathy Martin s
butter dropped, too, only his went
down the well, accompanied by the
old oaken bucket. Martin let the
butter remain in the water and bought
a new bucket.
Recent rains raised the we'll unusu-
ally high, and a few days ago while
casually looking into the we'll Martin
saw the same old two pounds of butter
floating about serenely. He fished it
out, and he and two neighbors tasted
it straight with bread, and, strange as
it may seem, the I3-year- old butter
was as good and sweet as the day it
was made. All three have made affi-
davits to the buffers good condition,
and as all three are living to-day it
must be so.
