BUSINESS HABITS.
i. >• ■ ' .
Stall MmM Ba Tnfkt Than IHw.
*MlT Yaan.
Whether s wonum Is poor or rich It
behooves her to acquire methodical bus
iness habits keeping her little accounts
accurately and knowing to a cent just
what she does with her money,
whether she has 10 pents or $10 to ex
pend on her own little personal wants.
An allowance is the first step toward
this end if, at the same time, it is im
pressed upon her that every sum spent
should be set down with unfailing
regularity.
In black and white one notes how
much more easily the mdney can be
spent, how quickly it goes, and just
'what foolish little nothings have lured
it from our pockets. Without setting
down each item, it is ten chances to
one that you will conclude you must
have lost some money when you can
not see how that ten-dollar bill went
when you only bought such a very few
things. The neat little figures arc a
genuine restraint, besidos instilling a
habit and system that will be of great
value if ever fortune smiles and a great
estate oomes to your hands, and still if
greater economy is a necessity and the
dollar has to be forced into doing duty
for two.
Unless the accounts are kept accur
ately and the cash made to balance
every evening, you had better • not at
tempt any book-keeping at all, for slip
shod methods are worse than none and
only confuse everything rather than
help matters. If anything is worth do
ing at all, it is worth doing well, and
there is nothing so productive of future
good as the habit of looking carefully
out for the pennies when school days
are the only trials and the allowance
of fifty cents a week goes for candy
and pickles. If this plan is once es
tablished in childhood, the girl will
grow to womanhood with a clear
knowledge of where her money goes
and what she has to show for it.

'PRANCE'S CANAL SYSTEM.
I* Practically Free From Toll* and
Co Ter* Fully 8,000 Mile*.
Interior navigation has long held a
prominent place in the traffic of France,
and it is not surprising to learn that
the length of navigable waters in that
country is 8,000 miles,of which 650 miles
are returned as tidal, 3,100 miles navi
gable without works, 3,350 canalized
rivers and 3,000 miles canals.
The state looks out for all but seven
par cent of tlii^ network, which is, there
fore, practically free from tolls. This
system of inland navigation has cost
about 6300,000,000 for construction
and purchase and 835,000,000 for con
cessions. The annual cost of maintain
ance is about 83,600,000, or 8335 a mile,
which covers all expenditures whatso
ever. The number of vessels employed
on the water-ways is between 15,000 and
16,000; and about twenty-six per cent
have a capacity of 300 tons or more, while
more than half have a capacity exceed
ing 100 tons. Moreover, about 3,000
foreign boats use the French canals
each year.
The motive power is now almost
furnished by draft animals, although a
few steam tugs are used on the Seine,
the Oise and some other rivers, and
steam cargo boats are occasionally met
Cable towing and tow locomotives are
also used in a few places. The average
cost of moving a ton of freight one mile1
is stated to be .064c on rivers and twen
ty-five per cent, less on canals.
In Lon With His Frlocesf.
A pretty love story concerning the
/ate Dowager Queen Olga, of Wurtem
berg, was published in Stuttgart.
Forty-eight years ago, when she was
the greatest beauty at the Russian
court. Prince Barlatiski, an Officer in
the imperial guard, fell in love with
her. When he learned that she re
turned his love he became alarmed,
obtained an audience with Czar Nicho
las, and, falling on his knees, implored
pardon for his audacity for having
loved the daughter of his sovereign.
Pleased with his honorable conduct,
the czar created him field marshal and
made him governor of the Caucasus.
One'year later the Grand Duchess Olga
was married to the Wurtemburg prince.
Barlatiski acquired some fame in the
Crimean war, but never recovered from
the moroseness following the disap
pointment of this love,
r _
A Smart Girl's Lector a.
A 10-year-old girl reads a lecture to
the young men in a Maine paper. She
exclaims: “Why do the young men of
Edgecomb do so much loafing? Go to
work! Push ahead! I am but a young
girl; I have clothed myself and got
money in the bank, and only 16 years
old. I lay up more money every year
of my life than any boy or young man
within a radius of three miles of my
home. When they get a dollar they go
to a dance and go home a dollar out.
My father is able to support me, but I
choose to support myself. I advise all
girls to cut clear of those loafing boys.
Give them a wide berth, and never
marry a man unless he is able to sup
port you. And never put your arm
through the handle of a rum jug.”
A Question for Scientists*
Dr. Richardson, an English physi
cian, who has investigated the matter,
says that the men who work in the
Paris sewers are as healthy as the av
erage, and no other 800 men in Paris
are so free from zymotic diseases.
This leads Dr. Richardson to ask: “Do
sewer men gain an immunity from
contagion by their occupation, or are
we at sea as to the mode of communi*
cation of the spreading diseases?”
A Post Lariat.
The Punxsutawney Spirit says: “No,
we do not want a poet laureate in this
country, but a poet lariat would be a
good thing with which to tie poets up
to a tree or lamp post or other conven
ient object.” Jefferson county bards
must have been working double-turn
on holiday gems, for the inspection of
the editor of the Spirit.
