The Art Of Saving.
French thrift is proverbial an,

u the wide distribution of wealt
among the people is one of tn
i marvels of the age. The sma
French investor confines himsel
pretty closely to home securitie
and the custom of issuing al
sorts of bonds in small depomi
nations helps him greatly, Blu
this is a mere detail. It is tn,
way he saves. that is the marvel
/ Money does not burn in thu
pocket of the average man OF
woman of France. The people
have learned not to waste. This
applies to food and clothing as
we'll as to money itself. It is not
hard to save something out of e.
ven a small weekly or monthly
wage by applying French prin-
ciples.
When a young man in receipt
of a fixed sum each week finds
himself in possession of a small
surplus just before payday, he
should put it away and count
himself so much ahead. Every
week he should keep his expen-
ses strictly within that weeks
income. If he refrains from
spending a small sum for some
thing he does not need he will
soon get ahead. It is the spend
ing of money, even few cents,
just because it is in his pocket
that keeps him poor. He may
have planned a Sunday excur-
sion and laid by the money for it.
If the weather keeps him home,
he should refrain from spending
that money on Monday just be-
cause he has it. If he gets the
habit of saving such found"
money he will soon have some
thing.
1t is not the clothes they buy,
the rents they pay or the food
they eat that keep most Ameri-
cans poor. It is thoughtlessness,
the drinks they buy when not
thirsty, the cigars which, they
can do without, that leave them.
without bank accounts.
American women go shopping
as a diversion. They buy things
they do not need because they
are bargains" No matter how
cheap a thing may be the money
paid for it is thrown away if it is
not useful. That is where the
French woman saves, and why
the bargain sale is not a feature
of French shopkeeping outside of
Paris, where it is sometimes in
troduced for the purpose of alb.
stracting dollars from American
purses. Bargains are all right if
the goods are needed atthe time,
but ready money is a better as
set than a lot of junk. We're
that not so, there would be no
real bargain sales. The merch-
ants know. New York CONNER

plowing are busy turning the
ground over and putting it in
shape for late crops and tobacco.
Not only has the weather chang
ed to wet, but to cyclonic condi-
tions. A cyclone of considerable
force passed through this county
yesterday and while we did not
feel it's severity, the neighbor-
hood south of us felt its effects
in a large measure. VIM. Sc
man, residing here, had two to-
bacco sheds knocked to pieces on
his farm south Of here several
miles. R. A. Pickett, living here,
having stored a thresher and
corn husker in one Of these sheds,
lost heavily in breakage of them
in the storm. Timber and fruit
trees were badly wrecked in the
ravages of the storm. Damage
in these respects has been large.
It has been reported that some
live stock was killed and injured.
Some barns in the zone of the
storm also suffered damage from
unroofng and otherwise. So far
as information goes no person
was injured.
The Patterson commencement
held in our school auditorium
was largely attended, though the
rain at the time kept good ma

to it's utmost capacity. Standing
room was occupied, with still
some persons unaccommodated.
The exercises were appropriate
and well executed and where all
did well, and while some did bet

some appropriateness in prais-
ing any one above the others.

sent and received their parch-

CHANGES KEEP A MAN YOUNG
Altogether Too Many Make Fad OF
Becoming "Set In Their
Ways"

Though q mans body attains It's
full growth before his twenty-fourth
year, and probably earlier than that,
the growth of his mind depends on
himself. He can continue adding TO
the sum Of his knowledge and his
power to reason until extreme old age
II he preserves his mental alertness.
AS long as be retains fair meas
ure Of that curiosity about things
which often make him o nuisance
when boy and is interested IN new
people, new sights, new books and the
thousand and one things that ara
happening today, his mind continues
to grow. But when man finds that
change bores him and limits himself
to one narrow round day after day,
be is really growing old mentally al
well as physically.
This premature ageing OF the brain
Is often se!f-induced. There IS clasS
Of men who make q fad Of being un-
interested IN passing events. They

only in one chair, they will eat only
ut one table, they will vote only for
one party, the name of which Is tho
same as that Of their forefathers, no
matter how much its principles may
have changed.
Though posing at first, they become
set In their ways," and then they
arc really old even though their years
scarcely number two score. n mis-

stay young mentally and spiritually

FLIGHT TO THE MOON
ASTRONOMER DOES NOT THINK
THE FEAT IMPOSSIBLE.
BY the Use of Electrical Force 1t Can
Be Done, and Doubtless VIII, Ac-
cordins to Professor Gar
rett p. Serviss.

On the deck of La Provence, at the
beginning of an old-fashioned ocean
Journey for summer in France, Gar
rett P. Serviss, the we'll known as.
tronomer, talked seriously OF an air
shin service to the moon which he
believes the future has In store for
man.

too seriously, now that we have
achieved the navigation Of the cir by
mechanical means, that there only re-
mains the necessity Of providing air
to exist upon and things to eat for
man to 60 to the moon," he said.
"But we have got to have a new
motive force. Electrical propulsion
begins to hint what that force will be
when men fly from planet to planet.
You understand we have got to over
come gravity and there are only two
forces which overcome gravity under
certain conditions-pressure Of light
and electricity.
so say that the first flying ma
chine to the moon will be based on
the principle OF the pith ball that
flies away from the conductor Of an
electrical machine. When this has
been accomplished there only remains
to be done what modern chemistry
certainly can achieve; that is. to fill a
strong vessel, a spherical vessel, with
enough air and food to sustain q man
during the flight. This Is not so ridic-
ulous as 1t may seem, and the modern
achievement Of flying is step in that

doesn't allow for the fact that Mars
is too small to retain an atmosphere.
Human beings could not remain on
Mars because there probably Is not
enough oxygen and nitrogen on that
planet. The gravitative force is too
small to retain an atmosphere. The
atmosphere flies away. Those lines
called canals are no doubt natural
phenomenon, Notwithstanding the fact
that they look artificial. Their eS-
istence is due to the fact that Mars
IS a very fiat planet. There are no
mountains there. and waters spread
out In every direction and form con.

runs in every direction and gives that
