FRUGALITY HAS ITS ROMANCE
1t Is to BE Found In the Practice Of
Saving Some Part Of Ones
Earnings.

There is an injurious idea prevalent
among young Americans that pru-
dence. economy, caution and frugality
accounts largely for the meretricious
pride Of spending time and money,
just as it partly explains the popular
ity of 80 many amiable wastrels. A
good fellow" may be not q self con-
demned fool, but he cannot discredit
the truism that fool and his money
are soon parted, says the Minneapolis
Journal.
Many of what we have come to call
wants" are desires of the imagina-
tion, or of vanity or Of self indulgence
We have drifted into a confusion Of
the meaning and value Of happiness as
contrasted with pleasure, and are
prone to accept ostentation In lieu of
the fact and substance Of thrift. The
ways Of thrift are different from the
ways Of parsimony.
There is an admirable quality Of dig.
nifty and simplicity about the frugal
but adequate way Of living, that EN-.
phasizes the vulgarity of extravaganza
and the childish folly Of pretended
opulence. There Is a SAVIOR Of gentility
about the practice of saving part Of
ones earnings that leads to it's own
quiet romance, and life itself takes on
a calmer. cleaner, sweeter value If we
conserve and cherish at least a por-
tion Of its daily offerings
Sensibly regarded, there is nothing
sordid about the habit of frugality;
but there is squalor and slovenli-
ness about the wastage of time and
the squandering of money that is as
unromantic as any phase of the
thoughtlessly selfish living. And there
is, too, gently humanizing influence
about the habit of saving that makes
for modesty, industry and sympathy
those quiet, homely agencies that go
furthest to stabilize and sweeten life.

HOW HIGH EXPLOSIVES KILL
Soldiers In Trenches Slain Because Of
the Disturbance Shells Cause in
the Atm osphere.

In a recent address to the Society
of Civil engineers OF France, NJ. r. Ar
noux explained why soldiers are killed
by the mere bursting Of high-explo-
sive shells. A pocket aneroid barome-
ter that had been made unserviceable
by being too near a German shell
when 1t exploded showed that, at q
distance Of less than three meters, the
explosion had caused In the room
where the instrument was placed a
sudden barometric depression of at
least $50 millimeters of mercury. Now.
such a depression corresponds to q
driving velociay in the air Of 276 me-
ters second. and to a dynamic pres
sure of 1O,360 Kilograms square
meter: That sudden statis depres-
sion Of the surrounding atmosphere
kills the men in the trenches, al
though It leaves them apparently un-
injured. When the pressure Of the
air decreases too suddenly, the air
and carbonic acid that the blood holds
IN solution are disintegrated in the
form Of minute gaseous bubbles, and
are driven by the heart into the small
arteries. II their diameter is greater
than that Of the small arteries, they
act, OF course, as so many gaseous
plugs. which instantaneously stop the
circulation OF the blood; and death
occurs before the return of the at.
mospheric pressure to normal enables
the blood to absorb them again. High
explosive shells kill through smaller
radius than shrapnel, but they are
more deadly, for within their radius Of
action no living being can escape

LEARN WAY TO MAKE LIVING
Good Advice for All Women Was
That rendered at Woman's Club
at Pittsburgh.

A woman Of wealth, but who is new
ertheless identified with civic work
and is practicing lawyer, lately gave
talk before Pittsburgh mothers
club. Here is part Of what she
said:
There Is one question to which
every woman ought to be able to an
swer Yes. 1t is this: Can you earn
a living IL you should need to do?"
II there is one lesson moro than an
other that has been emphasized in re.
cent years 1t is that the unframed
suffer most when a pinch comes. An
other lesson that is most sufficiently
understood is that there is practical
ly no security in fortune.
Be prepared, Is advice for a woman
as we'll as for q nation. Train your
daughters, you mothers, to something
that will pay return sufficient at
least for livelihood. It can do no
BARN. and 1t may mean Just the diff
ference between happiness and misery
in later life.
There is nothing more pathetic than
the sight OF some unfortunate woman.
brought up to a competency and ut
terly unprepared to support herself,
who has been suddenly reduced to
poverty. We all know some such
woman. Pottering along at things
that are Of no real use, at work given
by plying friends or strangers, more
or less dazed by contact with a world
that is foreign to her, sinking little
by little to meaner surroundings and
more desperate makeshifts, she at last
disappears. sucked under in the mael-
strom she has neither the strength nor
the training to resist.
Surely you don't want to run even
the faintest chance Of becoming such
a derelict, you don't want your daugh-
ters to run any such risk So be pre-
pared. Be fit for something, trained
to something, ready to take hold II
you must. Know at least one thing
so well that people will be glad to
pay you for doing It. Be able to say
Yes If the world should ask you If
you can return fair value for living.
1t is the surest Of human safeguards.

ADD TO BEAUTY OF EARTH
Writer'S Tribute to the Tree 10 Worthy
Of Remembrance Throughout
the Ages.

Oh! Don Pepino, old trees in their
living state are the only things that
money cannot command. Rivers leave
their beds, run into cities and traverse
mountains for it; obelisks and arches,
palaces and temples, amphitheaters
and pyramids rise up like exhalations
at its bidding; even the free spirit of
man, the only thing great on earth,
croucheS and covers in its presence
1t passes away and vanishes before
venerable trees. How many fond
and how many lively thoughts have
been nurtured under this tree! how
many kind hearts have beaten here! Its
branches are not SO numerous as the
couples they have invited to sit beside
it, nor its blossoms and leaves together
has witnessed. What appeals to the
pure, all-seeing heavensi what simil-
itudes to the everlasting mountains!
what protestations of eternal truth
and constancy!-from those who are
now earth; they and their shroud5
and their collins. The caper and fig
tree have split their monuments, and
boys have broken the hazel nut with
the fragments. Emblems Of past lives
and future hopes, severed names which
holiest rites united, broken letters OF
brief happiness, bestrew the road and
speak to the passerby in vain.-Wal-
ter Savage Landor.

WHY STEEL SHELLS ARE USED
Cast Iron Could Not Be Depended On
to Do Accurate Work That
10 Demanded.

The great cost Of the shells used in
warfare has astounded most persons
who are unfamiliar with such mat.
ters, and in answer to correspond
ent asking why cheaper shells made
of cast iron were not made use of In
preference to the more expensive steel,
the Engineer Of London has the fol-
lowing: In the first place, where
shrapnel is concerned. the number of
bullets is reduced because the walls
OF the projectile must be made thick
er. There is not an objection In high
explosive shells, which call for walls
thicker than is necessary for strength.
but there is danger of cast iron shells
developing cracks during manufacture,
and there would be risk OF such
shells bursting in the gun. Another
objection is that a castiron shell Is
liable to be, inaccurate In its flight.
The proiectile must be iIS perfect ball
ance with the walls, not only OF the,
same thickness all around, but homo
geneous. At the high speed of revo-
luton, the slight difference In weight
on one side would cause irregular
shooting. The steel shell is machined
inside and out, TO insure uniformity;
but II shell were cast on a core and
the core were not; absolutely eoncen-
trio, the center Of gravity would not
lie exactly in the longitudinal aIis St
the shell. Furthermore, the m kir :;
offa steel shell hassbeen so perfected
that such shells cnn be turned out
more quickly than those Of cast iron
OF equal reliability In accuracy. An
ls-pounder shell can be completely
machined from the Tar In 40 minutes

Thelluson Law,

The Thelluson law, once enacted by
the British government, was law to
regulate the disposition Of property
by will and to prevent the excessive
accumulation Of estates. 1t had a
curious origin. On. the 9th OF July,
1897, one Peter Thei1uson, an English
merchant of French birth, died in Lon
don, leaving a certain sum to his
widow and children and the remainder
OF his property, then amounting to
several hundred Thousand dollars, to
trustees to accumulate during the
lives OF his children, grandchildren
and great-grandchildren living at the
time Of his death, and the survivors
CT them. The accumulation would have
been enormous. The will was con.
tested, but was held valid In order,
however to prevent such a disposition
OF property in the future. parliament
passed what was called the Thelluson
act, or accumulatiOns act, regulating
and limiting bequests in such a way
as TO make great Accommodations i'm
possible. When Peter TheIluson's last
surviving grandson died, in 1856, a
question arose as "a, whether the cid.
est male descendant or the male de-
scehdant of the eldest son should in
hertt the property and this question
was decided on appeal by the house
OF lords In June, 1853. The Thelluson
win and the Legislation growing out
Of 1t were subject of much discus
sim by lawyers
