Saving Up to Buy.

Saving up to buy" is habit handed
down from childhood. AS children
when we couldn't get what we wished
we were generally told to save up for
it." Perhaps that experience taught
thrift to some of us, self-denial for an
end to others, but the experience was a
mixed blessing. Saving up to buy" has
its economical disadvantages.
It encourages savers to accumulate
funds for a purpose which may not be
at all practical. For example, a man
who saves to buy car, and then dis
covers he can't afford to run it, has
wasted money. In practice, that hap
pens with many things, and the habit
instead Of teaching thrift teaches i'm
providence.
When one needs something essential
to life, and conserves ones earnings OF
income to acquire 1t, Saving up to buy"
is serving a practical end. Before one
begins, however, to store money for any
purpose, examine the purpose of its
economical advantages. II it is not
worth while In itself, save, but save to
have larger competence.
In almost every home that one may
enter some member or members of the
family are saving up to buy. They
may be saving to buy roller skates.

New Health Diet.

Your Baby and Mine
BIZ MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

Miracles of behavior can be accom-
plished by suggestions that fail to ma
terialize when only commands are used.
Go on out doors and play like a
good boy" says mother persuasively.
She has pulled on leggins, tugged at
rubbers, buttoned him into coat and
mittens and fastened his cap under his
chin. All ready for a nice long play
outdoors. And in minutes he is back,
pressing his nose against the door and
screaming to be let in.
PLAY with your toys, darling" his
mother admonishes. Run your wagon
up and down" Nothing helps.
Eventually she has to let him in,
fearful that the neighbors will think
she is numbering him. And he should
be outdoors.
The child who plays alone and al
ways in the presence of his mother is
seldom happy when sent outdoors alone
If he Is small he has no ingenuity and
being set down in the presence of his
toys doesn't inspire him to anything
but tears. The very idea of being shut
out of the house is enough to sour
him on the whole proposition.
But suggestions accomplish miracles
Give him or her a broom and tell him
he is to play he is mothers helper. II
he is too young for large size broom
give him play size one and a dust
pan to match. Ask him to sweep the
porch for you, or the walk, and bring
you the dust in the pan. What child
but loves to sweep?
If he wants to come in when this

staying outdoors hateful to him. But
be ingenious about thinking up tasks
that he may accomplish for you. II
his own toys are in plain sight on the
porch the idea may strike him to use
them. He will act upon his own idea
much more quickly than he would upon
command from mother.
There are all manner of suggestions
for almost every situation in the day,
When your cereal is gone you car
wash the plate and spoon for mother.
Let's play you are big worm and
have to crawl upstairs to your little
hop outdoors saying peep, peep"
Try it. 1t sounds silly, but the truth
Is that almost anything can be accom-
plished by keeping what seems disagree
able to the child in the background aro
suggesting actions that will be pleasant
and amusing.
There are stories which one tells the
child which suggest the kind of be-
havior we want him to initiate. And il
he thinks of this imitation himself
how much more fun. When Danny re.

Washington History
BY DONALD A. CRAIG.

February IS, 1S61.-President-ele
Lincoln received several gentlemen in
his apartment in Wizards Hotel this
morning, but he remained invisible to
all except those with whom he had
special engagements. At 2 o'clock this
afternoon he received few more visit
ors by appointment.
Among those who called on him dur
ing the day were Mr.. Seward, Gen. Cass
and ladies, Hon. Preston King, Senator
Doolittle, Vice President Breckenridge,
Gov. Powell of Kentucky, Commodore
Spaulding and several other persons of
prominence.
President Buchanan called on Mr..
Lincoln between noon and l O'Clock.
The President and the President-elect
remained chatting together for about
Is minutes.
A throng of ladies called on Mrs.
Lincoln and paid their respects. Mrs.
Lincoln held quite a levee, lasting until
about O'Clock this afternoon
A rumor was started by correspond
ents Of Baltimore newspapers that Mr..
Lincoln was to hold a public reception
between noon and ! o'clock and crowds
of persons came to the hotel to see him,
only to meet with disappointment. The
projected serenade to Mr. Lincoln, which
was prevented Saturday night by the
rain, has been again postponed at his
own request
Mayor Berret Of washington City
was asked this morning for copy of
the speech he would have delivered to
Mr., Lincoln at the train of cars, well
coming him to the city, IL the recep-
ton ceremonies had not been so I'M
tremendously nipped in the bud by
Mr.. Lincoln's unheralded early arrival
Saturday morning (day before yester-
day.. Mayor Berret laughingly replied
that he would comply with this request
with pleasure. If Mr.. Richard Wallach
would furnish his draught of the route
program that Mr.. Lincoln would have
followed, If the welcoming ceremonies
and the procession had taken place as
proposed.
There is stiIl much mystery about Mr..
Lincoln'S change of plans on his Journey
to Washington. 1t appears that he did
not proceed direct from Harrisburg, Pa,
by way of the Northern Central Rail-
road, as at first was intended, but came
by way of Philadelphia.
Allan Pinkerton, the famous Chicago
detective, is understood to have dis
covered plot to assassinate Mr. Lincoln
on his journey from Harrisburg to
Washington. Upon the strongest solicit
tation of his friends and military men,
Mr.. Lincoln thereupon agreed to a
change in the plans for his Journey.
He returned by special train from
Harrisburg to Philadelphia and caught
sleeper out of the latter city, unknown
to the public. He passed from one rail-
road station to the other in Baltimore
in the dead of night and boarded
train for Washington with equal
secrecy. This explains why he arrived
in Washington about daylight, several
hours ahead of the published schedule
