Thrift and Pleasure.

The practice Of consistent thrift
does not mean the elimination Of all
pleasure. This would indeed he a
dreary world II II were necessary to
forego all pleasure In order to go
ahead. However. TO those who have
their own best interests Mt heart there
can he no genuine pleasure In any
practices that are harmful. says Thrift
Magazine.
II also Is TO be borne in mind that
there Is pleasure in performing our
daily duties. in the knowledge that we
are doing u share Of the worlds
work. that we are filling our own
place In the plans Of destiny.
To make progress. to get ahead in
the world Is perhaps the greatest
pleasure to those who are truly thrifty.
But even the frivn!ities of life bring
pleasure to those who are fond Of
them. although In many instances such
pleasures will be paid for In future
unhapnineSs.
A study Of pleasure should bring
us to the conclusion that real pleas
ure is that which brings no harmful
effect or reaction.

OLD LAWS STILL IN FORCE
Legislative Enactments Which Cause
a Smile Are Still N the English
Statute Books.

Few people are aware Of the curl.
Gus laws 0nce put into force In Eng
land, and which. as they have never
been repealed, might still he enforced.
The most extraordinary and foolish
act still in existence Is one which reg
ufates the meals OF the people. Dur.
ing the reign Of Edward III a law was
passed which forbade more than two
courses being served AT dinner except
on certain specified holidaysl
ITO do. or exercise, any worldly la
Dor, business, or work Of your ordinary
calling on Sunday" Is another little
misdpmeanor for which in the old days
people were fined five shillings or put
I'm the stocks for two hours.
Other things still punishable by law
are eating meat on a Wednesday and
driving on a Sunday.
A short time ago q man was sum-
mnned for selling lavender without a
peddIer's license. Apparently he sold
the lavender done up in bags, for had
he sold 1t loose he would not have
been looked upon as a peddler. The
summons was dismissed.

America thinks herself ahead Of the
world in many ways, especially in
those little inventions and contrivances
which go to the comfort and luxury
Of life. But one little invention Is
having q great success on the CONT

this country. 1t Is a luminous bag
for ladies. The action Of opening the
bag causes the interior to be illumi-
mated by q small electric lamp, which
is fitted to two dry batteries. In view
Of the varied assortment Of objects
which are carried In these bags, the
