Saving and Investing Talks
THE CASH VALUE OF THE SAVING HABIT

A story is going the rounds which illustrates adj

little artices-that an employe who understands the
value of the habit OF saving in his life is likely
to be more valuable his employer than the thrift

A western railroad has undertaken to encourage
its employees to make suggestions for saving expenses

consider One operating official suggested that the
length of the common pins they were using could
he cut down one-sixteenth OF inch without affect

This was done and the saving amounted to about
e2 600 pins year, for the pins were bought by the
pound and there were 256 Of the shorter pins
in pound than the old size.
In money the saving for the year pins sS1.
That was not a great to be sure. but the rail-
road ofHcials pointed that If every employe of
the road made equally valuable suggestion, the to-
tai annual saving would amount to s40O0OO0 for the
road. That sum would be SUFFICIENT to the reEu-
lar dividends on the stock, prosperity for that
road would assured.

She takes me here, she takes me there,

She likes to take me anywhere,
In any old position.
She takes me up, she takes me down.

She takes me on the way to town,
She takes me when returning

Spirit of Democracy Is Love

The essential spirit of democracy is love. In fact
democracy when we get Of it, is seen to
be nothing but love- working in the form Of the
state.
1t is important to grasp this. makes plain many
things.
one thing especially it makes plain, to wit; that
democracy is nothing but the spirit Of Christianity
operating it's purity.

1 will not say that any democracy is impossible
without the Christian religion. but will say impossi-
BILE without a general disposition among citizens to
love value human being such, not because he
is somebody's son, nor because he possesses certain
privileges Of wealth rank nor because he has GER
tain talents and graces, but because he is human
being.
1t is the worth-whileness of being man that IS
the central idea of democracy.
Justice the giving of equity to the poor well
the rich, is nothing but love- manfesting itself
in law.
1t is this humanity-love, this esteem pricing of

A CRANK ON TEA.
Cyrus w. Fisld's Encounter With an

Cyrus w. Fisld'a Encounter With an
Expert In the Business.
Cyrus w. Field was never given
to any of the expensive hobbies Of
other rich men. He did not dote on
horses or yachts or pictures. But
Mr.. Field did like tea. He used to
say there was only one man of his
acquaintance who knew how to
brew it, and that man was cold
Field" The father of the subma-
rine cable used to travel a great
deal by rail, but he never went any
where without his favorite brand Of
tea and his personal utensils for
brewing it. e3 {th
Mr.. Field seldom travelled in his
private car, and none Of his Fetinue
of servants ever made tea for him.
From his berth in the Pullman he
rose early, as at home, and it was
not an uncommon sight to see the
gray old philanthropist half dressed
and stirring about in buffet car at
daylight, seeking hot water with
which to brew his choice young Hy-
son, canister of which was invari-
ably part of his baggage.
One day when Mr.. Field was GO
ing through Front street, in New
York city, he was attracted by tea
tester who was slipping the contents
of number of small cups. Mr..
Field watched the man carefully
and observed his method of using
boiling water. Finally he entered
the place and said to the expert,
1'How long have you been in this
business?" as A0 at a3e y2s3
"Thirty-one years." said the tea
faster, who was enjoying an annual
income of about $4,000.
swell, you had better give it up"
remarked Mr.. Field frankly. 'TYou
don't know how to make tea and
you are too old to learn. Let me
brew some of that stuff for YOU"
The aged philanthropist poured
water on some leaves which he took
from a paper in his pocket, let it
draw for a few seconds and invited
the tea faster to test it. But the ex-
pert spat the stuff out. "Worst
everp was his comment. "Not even
properly brewed." Then Mr.. Field,
who was sensitive man, turned on
his heel and walked away, mutter-
ing, eff you are an expert, the good
Lord help some Of our tea drink
ers." f4tAa aiu 4 eBe
But when the millionaire was out
/ of sight the tea faster roared with
laughter and said to one of the
clerks: "That was old Field. He's
a crank on tea. Pays 50 a pound
for it, and I told him it was like
dishwater." .se

EoraetfuIness That Paid.

Old Peter Smith, who for years
kept a grocery and general store at
Beechwood, Mass, became forget
full during the last of his business
life. One day man called and got
a barrel of flour on credit and car
ried it away on his wagon, and
Peter could not remember who the
man was when he came to charge
up the -four. Being a shrewd old
man, he thought Of way out of
the trouble. Peter charged bar
rel of flour to each of the yearly ac-
counts he kept with his customers,
all hardworking farmers, thinking
that every one except the man who
really had the -four would kick
when the bills were rendered. On
Jan. / old Peter sent out the bills
to all his customers, adding in each
case barrel of -four. Nobody
kicked! Everybody paidl @

Died of Superstition.

Princess Likelike, daughter of
Kapaakea and mother Of Princess
Kaiulani, died on Feb. 8, 1887. She
had not been seriously i'll, but a
lava flow from the great volcano
Kilauea, in Hawaii, which occurred
few days before her death, was to
her mind sure sign that chief
tainess was required by the goddess
Pele, that heartless old deity sug-
gested to the children of nature in
the ages of volcanic terrors. SO
firm were Likelike's convictions that
the wrath of the furious Pele had
to be appeased by her death that
she lost heart and never rallied.
The night before her death there
was a halo around the moon, and
when she saw it she abandoned all
hope and speedily died. A few
years later Likihiku heard that he
was being prayed to death by an
enemy, aided by sorcerer, deadly
method of warfare, so he simply lay
down and died of despair. A

TO BOOM VERMONT.

State wide Organization Planned
to Aid in the Development oi
the State.
A meeting called tor discussing
the feasibility of forming some
organization to aid in the larger
development OF Vermont was held
at the Hotel Vermont in Burlington

James P. Taylor of Saxtons River,
who outlined the need of such an
organization and the hopeful out
look which indicated its probable
success.
A temporary organization was
formed by the election Of ex-Gov.

Short-sighted Lumbering in
Vermont.
BY A.,F. Halves, State Forester.

BY A..F. Halves, State Forester.
From an article prepared at the
request of the Vermont Commission
on the Conservation of Natural
Resources. pEi,t ssss# ~
The subjects upon which the Con
servation Commission has asked me
to write may be discussed under two
headings
l. Are the present methods Of
numbering short-sighted from the
standpoint of the lnmberman +?
2. Or are they simply short
sighted from the standpoint of the
state
/ think there can be no question
il, any ones mind that the present
methods are short-sighted from the
states stand point and, therefore,
from the standpoint of the public
and especially of the next genera
tion of Verrhonters. ma
The most obvious evil Of the pres
ent methods is a gradual deprecia-
tion of real estate throughout the
mountainous districts. To be sure
the rise in stumpage values owing
to the growing scarcity Of lumber
has in measure Offset this depre-
citation, but with the growing area
of waste lands the taxable property
in many of the back towns must de-
cline This results necessarily in an
increased rate of taxation on AL
farm, woodland aud other property
There are indirect evil results Of
the present methods of numbering
An important one is the effect of
deforestntion on the drying up of
springs aud the run-of of our brooks
and rivers with the damage which
these do to water powers; the hard
ships which they enforce on farming;
and the destruction of our fish The
summer resort business, which ought
to he of importance to Vermont. can
only be developed in well forested
region.
In these and other ways the pres
ent methods of numbering are short
sighted from the public standpoint
Are they are short-sighted from the
standpoint OF tho lumberman him
self, We have not vet come in this
country to any permanent system of
land ownership. The great tracts Of
land, with the exception of the ma
