Natures Little Ships.

While man makes the largest ocean
vessels, nature makes the smallest.
This is a species of jellyfish, found
only in tropical seas, which has sail.
The part of the fish under the water
looks like a mass of tangled threads,
while the sail is tough membrane
shaped like a shell and measuring
quite five inches and sometimes more
across. The fish can raise or lower
this sail at will. Wise sailors let this
curiosity of nature alone, for each of
the threads composing its body has
the power of singing, thesresults of
which are very painful and often dan
gerous. This power defends 1t from
PROPOSES, albatrosses and other natur-
al enemies. 1t has no other means of
locomotion than it's sail, and when
seen skimming bravely along the sur
face of the water IT looks more like a
child's toy boat than a living creature
out in search of food.-London Opin-
ion.

TALKS ON THRIFT.
BY 7. D. MaeeREGOR.

Thrift and providence are pri-
mary qualities necessary to all
who are TO make the most out or

Newton d. Baker, OF Cleveland.
There have been many plans TO force
the habit of thrift upon people other

doubtful IL any other system excels
that which man voluntarily assumes
when he decided TO acquire ownership
OF his own home by means of monthly
payments. covering principal and in

So tickle is the human mind that the
only absolute guarantee OF carrying
ont a good intention is to make IL i'm
possible TO violate ii, and that is prac-
ticalIy what is done when man puts
himself in a position where he must
keep up certain regular payments or
run the risk OF losing his home.
Every normally constituted man has
the ambition some time 10 own the
roof over his head. II is the best way
to live.
To accomplish this object. the aver
age man who must depend largely up
on his own efforts, requires energy,
self-reliance and determination To

swing the house-owning proposition
later on.
And even II you don't make a life
long home of the first house you buy
or build. nevertheless you are doing
! a wise thing to save and invest in this
way
This is Illustrated by the typical ex-
perience of young couple who started
housekeeping in a New Jersey suburb
of New York few years ago.
With the aid of one of the building
and loan associations which abound
in New Jersey. they built a house, att
er having paid for their lot with saw
ings withdrawn from the bank for the
purpose.
At the end of several years they had
an equity in the property amounting
to about $4,000. At that time there
came TO this man an especially good
business opportunity in another state,
and he was compelled to sell his home
in order TO move.
This he was able TO do easily, re-
ceiving a good cash payment on the
property and a second mortgage for
the balance (the building and loan as
which was assumed by the new buyer
OF the house,.
So the original home builder now
has the income from the mortgage to
add TO his other earnings, while his
successor in the ownership OF the
house is steadily increasing his equity
by monthly payments, and in time will
own his home free and clear.
IL Is plain that fortune must fairly
take some OF us by the nape of the
neck and hold us TO force riches upon
us. Few wage-earners. or salaried per-
sons. following their own sweet VIII,
acquire a competence through willing
thrift and abstinence. Many there are
who are even now reaping dividends
from long years of compulsory saving.
who have been enriched by the expert
ence in spite of themselves.

and force yourself to save.

In the general library sessions there

communities; the educational work of
the American federation of arts; chill
dren's books; books and the boy
