The inspector, surprised by this un-

or with an interest rather augmented
than diminished by his boldness. The
smile with which he had uttered these

lips, lighting up features Of mold too

AZ the GoIo8mtn'S.
ECONOMY Is the poor mans mint"
You may all know this quotation and
see the wisdom Of 1t. but economy Is
also the rich mans bank. and they are
wise who practice it wisely.
Here is great economy: In every
wise goldsmith's shop where he works
there stands barrel containing more
or less dust and rubbish which have
been swept up from the floor.
You might rightly wonder why the
goldsmith would allow so much dirt
to stand in his shop. and you might
even ask him why he does not have it
emptied.
He will tell you that in the dirt and
dust in the barrel are particles of gold
which had fallen to the floor and been
gathered in with the sweepings. He
even wears leather apron, so that
the gold dust can roll off and not cling
to his wooden clothing and thus get
lost. Such a barrel of trash might
easily net him $50 after the smelter
does his work. The floor of the gold
smiths shop is usually corrugated, and
into these ridges the gold particles
drop until cleaned up. The profits
represented by the saving of this dust
in a large shop is very considerable,
and the smith looks to this gold dust
for much Of his profits.

WEALTH..

Wealth cannot confer great
ness, for nothing can make that
great which the decree of nature
has ordained to be little. The
bramble may be placed in hot
bed. but can never become an
oak. Even royalty itself is not
able to give that dignity which
it happens not to find. but OPP
presses feeble minds. though 1t
may elevate the strong. The
world has been governed in the
name Of kings. whose existence
has scarcely been perceived by
any real effects beyond their
own palaces. When. therefore.
the desire Of wealth is taking
hold Of the heart let us look
around and see how it operates
upon those whose industry or
fortune has obtained 1t. When
we find them oppressed with
their own abundance. luxurious
without pleasure. idle without
ease. impatient and querulous in
themselves and despised or hat
ed by the rest of mankind, we
shall soon be convinced that If
the real wants of our condition
are satisfied there remains little
to be sought with solicitude or
desired with eagerness.-Samuel
Johnson.

SELF RESTRAINT.

A number of countries have
copied our constitution with a
provision that the constitutional
guarantees may be suspended in
case of necessity. We are all
familiar with the result. The
guarantees of liberty. justice and
order bave been forgotten. The
government is dictatorship, and
the popular will is expressed only
by revolution. Religion, the phi
losophy of morals, the teaching
of history. the experience Of ev-
cry human life. point to the same
conclusion-that in the practical
conduct of life the most difficult
and the most necessary virtue
is self restraint. 1t is needed
more by men acting in mass than
by individuals, because men in
the mass are more irresponsible
and difficult of control than in
dividuals. The makers Of our
constitution. wise and earnest
students of history and Of life,
discerned the great truth that
self restraint Is the supreme ne
cessity and the supreme virtue
Of democracy. The people Of the
United States have exercised
that virtue by the establishment
of rules Of action in what we
call the limitations Of the con.
stitution, and until this day they
have rigidly observed these rules.

Let us live with our children.
So shall their lives bring peace
and Joy to us: so shall we be-
gin to be and to become wise.
What boys and girls play in
earliest childhood will become
by and by a beautiful reality Of
serious life, for they expand into
stronger and lovelier youthful
ness by seeking on every side
appropriate objects to verify the
thoughts of their Utmost souls.
This earliest age Is the most
important one for education. be-
cause the beginning decides the
manner Of progress and the end.
If national order is to be recOg-
nized in later years as benefit,
childhood must first be accus-
toned to law and order and
therein find the means Of free
dom. Lawlessness and caprice
must rule in no period Of life,
not even in that of the nursing.
The kindergarten is the free
republic Of childhood.
Man must be able to fail in or
der to be good and virtuious, and
he must be able to become q
slave in order to be truly free.
My teachers are the children
themselves. with all their purity.
their innocence. their uncon-
seriousness and their irresistible
claims, and l follow them like
faithful, trustful scholar.
l wish to cultivate men who
stand rooted in nature, with their
feet in Gods earth; whose heads
reach toward and look into the
heavens; whose hearts unite the
richly formed life Of earth and
nature with the purity and peace
of heaven-God's earth and Gods
heaven.-FrOebel.

and as soon as he was discovered the
people did all they could to make him
