British Museum.

In the early years of the British
museum, whose treasures have been
locked up from the general public till
after the war, the days of opening
were fewer than now. Three days a
week were considered enough. Econ
omy ruled then also. No generous
grant of public money aided the fOun-
dation of the museum. A public lot
terry, provided the sinews of war. By
this means $4,000 was raised, 100000
of which went to Sir Hans Sloane's
executors, 100000 to the earl and coun-
tess of Oxford for the Haleian manu-
scripts and 10000 to Lord Halifax
for Montague House. When the pan
technicons paid for by the proceeds of
the lottery had done their duty in the
removal of the curiosities, Montague
House was thrown open with great
ceremony on January 10, 1759.-Lon-

Money, the life blood of the nation,
Corrupts and stagnates in the veins,
Unless a proper circulation
Its motion and its heat maintains.
Everyone respects the man who is
prudent as much as he abhors a
spendthrift, but there is such a thing
as being too careful Of the pennies
and making a miser of oneself. If a
man has only himself to consider, he
only is hurt in health if he allows him
self but the price of enough food to
keep soul and body together, though
his pockets are heavy with gold. If
he has a wife whose comfort and hap
pineSs are at stake, he has no right
to put her to bodily discomfort and
cause her heartsick despair. The
wife who is doled out only sufficient
means to keep starvation at bay soon
begins to lost respect for her over
thrifty spouse. Then dislike edges it's
way in, leaving a wide gap for actual
hatred to enter.
It is q well-established fact that only
those who save carefully insure them
selves against want In their old age,
yet those who deny themselves suf-
fcient hearty food to keep up their
strength are inviting invalfdism, years
Of suffering and doctors bills to har-
rass their later years.
It is also well to remember recrea-
ton must enter into the daily plan of
life to make existence worth while.
The housewife who tolls seven days
week, year in and year out, soon loses
her freshness, buoyancy. the art of be-
ing companionable and her power to
generate or hold love. Every wife has
a right to a reasonable amount of
pleasure being provided her, as her
husbands circumstances will permit.
Otherwise husband and wife viii
steadily drift apart.

The little city itself is neither beau
tiful nor particularly pleasant to live
in. The streets are narrow, the houses
mean, except for few on the princi-
pal business street. The heat is al
ways intense and the well-to-do in La
Guayra generally live in one of the
cooler seaside hamlets up or down the
coast. The picturesque peak of Pic
acho towering back of the town is
largely responsible for the heat, for
besides decorating the landscape, the
mountain acts as reflector for the
sunlight.
Wherever you go in Guayra your
road is pretty sure to lead back to the
wharves. Almost always there is a
ship there, loading or unloading, the
swarthy porters hustling the bales of
hides, the bags of coffee and cacao.

Locust's Initial.

"My nephew, Perry Putter, found a
locust some time ago, with a we'll
defined wv on its back" related old
Riley Rezzidew, land knew for certain
that it meant war with Mexico, and
so told everybody who would listen.
Then he went incoming around for q
spell and didn't telk any more about
war, and the first thing knew he had
got married. Presently he came to me
and said that he had been mistaken in
his first conclusion about the locust !;
he had decided that he'd read the ini-
tial wrong side up, and that he should
have turned it the other way, when, of
course, it would have been an M
standing, as he was persuaded, for
'matrimony.'
"'Well,' says I, as you married a
widow with six children and head of
hair that looks like the sun rising
through q fog, reckon it will be just
as well for you to leave the locust's
initial it's original side up, and pre-
pare for war; kansas City Star.

diers asking that their side OF the
story be printed.
Hundreds of these letters are mas
terpieces, their extreme length pre-
venting publication. Each and every
one invariably upholds the dignity OF
the soldier and his calling. Each
frankly expresses the loneliness OF the
writer, enduring hardships far away
from those at home who love him, and
signing wistfully for the companion
ship during leisure hours Of fair, no.
BILE women to keep their thoughts,
hearts and courage uplifted.
In every flock there is usually to be
found one black sheep. In every regi-
ment of soldiers there Is likely to
be found one ne'er-do-wel1 daredevil
who neither fears man or reveres God
or women. The great majority should
not be judged by the follies of this
one.
The country's call struck deep into
the hearts of young men in all walks
of life. Among those now wearing the
soldiers garb are to be found young
lawyers, architects, physicians, the
sons of great merchants, aye, and Of
money kings, men whom parents
would be sincerely pleased to have
their daughters receive attentions
from, no doubt, if they could but sim
gle them out. The majority are heart
whole and fancy free. Many have left
homes of luxury to enter army life,
anxious to know the rough and hard
side of life and profit thereby.
One young man, millionaire's son,
told me just before leaving for the
border Che having enlisted as SOL
dier): II am tired Of living the life
of the pampered rich. I need to rough
it. have not married any one Of the
society girls here because the ma
jority Of them have an eye to a mans
inheritance. Perhaps, as an ordinary
soldier some nice young girl may be-
come interested in me for myself
alone. If she wouldn't love me as q
soldier she would not get the chance
to marry me for my fortune"
This is but one case among thou
sands. In making it pleasant and
showing hospitality to young soldiers,
many a family on the border might be
entertaining angels unawares. Don't
judge a man by the coat that is but
toned over his heart. 1t is a great
lesson and privilege to refined, cour-
teous soldiers to have an entree to
good homes where there are Christian
parents and cultured, sweet daughters.
Their influence for good Is far reach
ing and Of great Importance. With
holding such benign influence from
him is a mistake. In every community
where there is large gathering Of
men who are away from home infiu-
ences a certain kind of foolish young
women will flock. Such girls should
be held under strict surveillance and
discipline. These are of the kind who
love exciting danger and will perish in
it. Who can foresee how the bravest
of men will fight against and conquer
a temptation which causes others to
fall?
