The Need of Thrift.
HEN "times are good , " labor fully employed ,
production active , and the nation apparently
growing rich , the necessity of thrift Is over
looked , and the nation nmj be In reality groov
ing poor. Even the most prudent Individuals
are npfc to be affected by the prevailing spirit
of life and extravagance. The fortunate and
the sanguine buy useless and expensive things ; diamonds
and ateam yachtn , or build palaces too grand for ordinary
use. As a rule the money that comes Into the bauds of
promoters -wasted. .
After a period of excitement and extravagance , when
everybody seems busy , a reaction comes. Hard times
er dull times set in. Everybody retrenches expenditure ,
wme because It is the fashion. Labor , it is true , la not
lully employed , but that which Is employed produces use
ful thiugs ; food , clothing and necessary tools. Less money
b sunk In steam yachts or extravagant displays. The na
tion lives within Its Income , and saves and grows rich with-
ut knowing It. Bad debts are marked off , no enterprises
Ire carried out unless they are demonstrably certain to
le remunerative. Eextravagant people are too poor to
Iraste the fruits of the labor of others. Thrif.y people ac-
lumulate slowly , and after an Interval of two or three
pears It Is found that the community as a. whole is rich ,
rhen begins another era of wastefulness.
This paradox , that when the country is prosperous It la
rrowlng poor , and when times are dull Ic Is growing rich
fcy enforced economy , bai been established by experience
lince 1836. The cycle of about ten years prosperity , ex-
iltement , extravagance , deficit , hard times , retrenchment ,
thrift , accumulation and prosperity again has been run
through many times , and will be run through many more ,
fcpidemics assume a "mild form" occasionally , and so do
Iconomlc stages. It looks now as if we were not to suffer
Irorn a very long or sever.e attack of "hartl times , " though
re have been reckless enough to bring on an aggravated
lose. Hartford Times.
Sending the Poor to the Country.
OME enthusiastic persona In Chicago have or
ganized "The Field and Workshop Society , " the
object of which Is to take the very poor from
the tenement districts of the large cities and
provide them with homes and facilities for
making themselves self-supporting In the coun-
ry. The society made some experiments in this direction
luring the last summer , and the results were sufficiently
latlsfactory to encourage plans for enlarged effort In the
h-ork for next year. The plan of the society is not material
ly different from that of the Salvation Army , which has
teen most successful In Its plans for redeeming victims
6f the slums , and helping them to become honest , worthy
knd independent by work and association with the army's
fiifferent farm colonies. The plan Is a splendid one for the
Alleviation of the condition of the well-nigh hopeless poor ,
< vho are compelled to spend their lives In a fight for a
miserable existence In some of the crowded tenement dis
tricts in the cities. It removes their children from the
temptations and vices that thrive In the crowded dlstrlc ,
gives them something to live for , something to look for
ward to , and a prospect of final possession of property
and personal Independence as rewards for Industry and
proper living. Washington Post
.Causes of Railroad Slaughter.
R , TOLMAN. head of the New York Institute
for Social Service , says that 38,890 persons have
been killed on American railroads during the
last five years and 253,823 injured , an average
of 21 deaths and 139 injured every day. What
are the causes of these disasters ? Principally
carelessness and inefficiency on the part of
jmployes ; greed , Indifference , or taking things for granted
n the part of officials. There Is an "If" attached to every
December disaster. If employes had not been grossly care
less the accident on the Burllugton and Qulucy Railroad
jvould not have occurred. If freight cars had been prop-
rrly loaded the accident on the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road might not have occurred. If a brakeman had not
been kept on duty nearly thirty-six hours he would not
have been so sleepy that he failed to flag the 'Frisco train
and that accident would not have occurred. If the block
system had been In use on the Pere Marquette Railroad the

Who Owns the Prescription ?
HE ruling of a New York magistrate that a
physician's prescription belongs to the person
1 who buys It , and not to the druggist who fills
it , reopens an old and much debated question.
While the magistrate settled the particular controversy -
troversy between the Gotham druggist and his
' maflmm customer , It doea not follow that all druggists
accept tt as a finality. This particular druggist. Indeed ,
was threatened "with Imprisonment for larceny before he
finally concluded to give up the prescription demanded bj
his customer.
The question of ownership of a prescription would seem
so very simple to the mind of the layman as to require
no ruling from a court of equity. A prescription is certain
ly the property of the person who buys It of a physician ,
and whether & druggist may be permitted even to retain a
copy of It Is obviously a question for the owner of It to ,
decide. As a matter of safe practice the owner should
always demand a copy of his prescription if he does not
retain the original copy. It may turn out to be a prescrlp *
tion of great value , and the druggist of course has no right
to It , and few druggists , indeed , claim such a right
The same principle has been held to apply to photo
graphic negatives. When a person pays the photogra
pher's price for a negative It Is his property. If he carea
to do so he has a right to take the negative away -with him
and make his own prints from it As a matter of custom
and convenience , however , the photographer Is permitted
to store the negative where It may be easily found when
new prints are desired from It It Is very clear that th
photographer has no proprietary right in a negative whic >
some other person has bought Chicago Record-Herald.
College Men and Business. 0
HE principal complaint against the schools and
universities has been that they tended to augment - n
ment the already over-crowded "professions ; " °
that they gave prominence In their curricula to
the studies that were calculated to equip men .
for the so-called polite pursuits of life. As
a result there came from the college doora f
every June a small army of doctors , lawyers , preachers
and writers.
There are hopeful Indications , however , of a tendency
on the part of the colleges and universities to meet the
demand for educated men in the various Hues of commer
cial and industrial endeavor , which modern conditions have
created. There Is gradual and more adequate recognition
of the fact that the so-called "professions" are alreadj
over-crowded , and that the great demand of our times ia
for trained commercial and scientific men , for men who
can take the places of the self-educated and self-made men
who built up great industrial and commercial enterprises.
Dean James H. Tufts , of the University of Chicago , in
his address to a recent graduating class , declared that In
most classes to-day fully three-fourths of the men grad
uating Intend to enter commercial pursuits Instead of the Ii
professions. Twenty years ago one-third of the men In the
graduating classes of the colleges became teachers , one-
fourth or one-fifth entered the ministry , and not more than n
one-fourth went Into business , said Dean Tufts. c :
There are not enough patients for all the doctors and i
io
not enough clients for all the lawyers. It Is time the uni of
versities were turning out men to take the places of the % \
great builders , merchants and producers of our time. a

Vigor of speech was a characteristic
of ' Judge Burr , of Connecticut , who
lately resigned from the bench on account - i
count ' of deafness. A New Haven lawh
yer once introduced to Judge Burr an
almost unknown but very self-confi
dent novelist whose good opinion of
himself has been justified since by
events. In his conversation with the
judge , he did not fail to make known
his estimate of his own brilliancy.
Judge Burr observed the young man
closely and sternly. Finally he said :
"So you expect to be famous some day ,
eh ? " "Some day , " said the young
man , "I expect to have the world at
my feet" "What have you been doIng -

While stories were going the rounds
at the Lambs' Club , one night , Francis
Wilson contributed one about a lead

had become stranded at Saginaw. The
leading man installed himself at a ho

waiting , for remittances. One mornIng -
Ing , he rang the bell In his room for
half an hour. Nobody answered. Then
oe went out in the hall , leaned over
the railing , and called : "Boy ! Oh ,
boy ! " "What Is it ? " snarled a bell
boy from the lobby beneath. "Have
eou seen anything of my laundry ? "

The following remarkable essay on
the horse is said to be from the pen
of an Indian student : "The horse is a
aj
very noble quadruped , but when he is of
angry he will not do so. He is ridden
n
on the spinal cord by the bridle , and
sadly the driver places his foots on
the stirrups , and divides his lower
.
limbs across the saddle and drives his
animal to the meadow. He has four
legs ; two are on the front side and two
are afterward. These are the weapons
on which he runs. He also defends
limself by extending these in the rear
n a parallel direction toward his foe ,
but this he does only when he is in an
E1
aggravating mood. There is 110 ani
mal like the horse. No sooner they ,
see their guardian or master than they
always cry for food , but it is always at , .
