;of $22s,O0 upon which interest is be-
ing paid. But from these savings
many of the lads. after their appren-
lticeship was served, completed courses
| in universities, in engineering, archi-
lecture and mechanics. Because of
their thrift in putting by money they
lwere able to enlarge their opportuni-
ties many times over.
| Out of an estimated population OF
1 ,o05, $4,000 in all countries having
savings banks, there are l32,50o,ll4
depositors. This means world av-
erage deposit account of $136.1S and
an average per inhabitant of $17.o4.
Though the amount of deposits in the
I, United States is large. yet the number
of savers in proportion to the popula-
ton is about IL per cent, which is 2
per cent less than that of the entire
world.
In survey made recently from the
reports based in part on the opinion
of the state comptrollers, rather than
solely on statistics, it is shown that
savings during the past year have in
creased in all communities, save the
South. The reports of banks show
total increase of sol 600. 900 in savings.
The greatest increase in the year was
in the New England group of states
(which had a gain of $2S,795,75S. The
middle states $16,ooS,752; the East
fern states and Pacific states, more
than 100000: the Southern states.

niggardliness."
The fear of being thought stingy or
of being unsuccessful is at the root of
much of the prodigality that affiicts
our people. They do not seem to real
ize that few people get rich in day,
but that those who have acquired a
competency have done SO by the sys-
tematic saving of certain amount
each day. week or month.
A person must have money for any
enterprise he wishes to undertake.
Many opportunities arise for man
who has a little money that pass by
the man who has none. The Brook

for seventy-five years and never saw
them so ugly as the things women
are wearing today" Variety is the
spice of fashions and the fashion
makers can fairly claim that they
never allow the styles to get stale
from monotony. But if the object Of
fashions is to make folks sit up and
take notice the present styles in
women's clothes are the most sue
cessful that the fashion cars have
put out since wearing clothes became
a habit.

AN APRIL MORNING.

AN APRIL MORNING.
Once more in misted April
The world is growing green,
Along the winding river
The plumy willows lean.
Beyond the sweeping meadows
The looming mountains rise,
Like battlements of dreamland
Against the brooding skies.
In every wooded valley
The buds are breaking thru
AS tho the heart of all things
No languor ever knew.
The golden wings of bluebirds
Call to their heavenly choirs,
The pines are blued and drifted
With smokes of brushwood fires.
And in my sisters garden
Where little breezes run,
The golden daffodilies
Are blowing in the sun.
Bliss Carman.
