"1 don’t see how H olnes does it,’, said John Stetson, with a puzzled ex­pression. I “Does what?”] asked his wife, looking'up from her Bewinjj.

“ Why, Save so much money from his salary, to be sure!”

“Then he does, save, does he?”“You know the half-aerie lot adjoini

ing his house?”“Yes.”“ Well, he has just bought it for a

hundred dollars, and what is more paid for i t out "of money saved from his salary this year.”

“ How does his salary compare with yours?” | j

“He has only seven hundred dollars a year, while I have eight. Then o u r families are the same; each of us has two children.” j

“ Yet, Iiam afraid you don’t save near that amount.”

“ No. 1 guess n o t The fact is, if I find myself square a t thC end of the year, I th^nk myself lucky.” '

“And y e t John!” said his wife, grave­ly, “ it seams to me as if we ought tq lay by something;” | '■ '’j ' |

“ I t is dasy enough to say that, but the question is, ‘How arc .we going tq do it?’ There’s Mary’s music lessons, a t ten dollars a quarter. ] T hat’s, the

■ only way can think of, and I shouldn’t want to stop those.”

“No, tq be sure not; but isn’t there any other! way ?? • !. . T

“Not that I know of.” [ ■ ;“ Don’t-yoq think, John ,'the little in-

■ cidental expenses cost more than youthink for?” \ ■

“Such (is what?”“ Cigars, ice cream, oysters, the

theatre, and so on.”John Sfetson winced a little.“They! are mere trifles," said he.

carelessly, “A few cents j each time. Pooh! they would make precious

■ little difference1 a t „the lend of theyear.” S .• . ■

“ You know there’s an' old proverb ,\ ‘Many a little makes a midkle.’ ”

“ Pshaijr! I hate old proverbs. Be­sides, thqse littleithings are really very little account. A man doesn't feel the sum he pays out,: and, iif it didn’t go in one way, it viould i n 'a n ­other.” f i

“ H o w ’many cigars do you smoke daily?” pursued his wife.

“ T h re |.”“And Show much do Jou pay for

them? ’ i '“ Fouricents apiece."

‘Thatiwould make twelve cents?”

a mahoganv b o i twelve inches long, the-other dimensions being four inches each. Ih the center of the top is to be a slit, large enough to admit the largestsilver coin.” !

“ A money box,” said the cabinet maker.* “ Yes.” ' !

“ Pretty large for that, isn’t it?” .“ R ather,” said Mrs. Stetsom smiling;

“ but better too large than too small.” John Stetson rell in with a companion

in the afternoon, with whom he had a social chat. As they were walking leisur^y along, 'they passed an oystersaloon.

Stetson was particularly fond of the bivalves, and ho proposed that^ they

‘Very well.”The

“And what’s twelve cents?”“Not tjauch in itself, bu|t m ultiplied

by a large number, it amounts to Some­th in g /1 f

“ W hat are you driving at, wife?”“ I amjgoing to make a proposition

to you.” j“ Pm all attention.” ,“You say you don’t mind a few cents,

a day.” [ ; | ■' •>“ Of course not.” j“Theni I propose th a t a.small "box be

obtained! with a slit in thel lid, just like the children’s tin savings .boxes, in short, only larger; and thjat for every cent you spend for cigars, ice cream, theaters, or any such little luxury, you

e box. ’’

“it would

deposit an equal sum in tb John Stetson laughed.“ I daqe say,” he remarked,

bring me out a perfect Crjoesus a t the end of tae year. I1

“ Do y >u agree?” asked his wife, with some ap jearance of anx iety ,-

“ Yes; I have no great objection, if you desite it, thbugh I acknowledge it seems a little foolish and dhildish.” ’<

“ NeviV mind abou,t th a t I have your premise, and wc’U try the experi­ment on s year. I f i t doesn’t amount to enough to make it an otjject, then it will be time to give it up.”T

should go in and take some.To this his friend did not demur, and

they accordingly entered. Two plates of oysters came to twenty-five cents. Besides this, they took a glass of ale each, which made twelve cents more. This brought up the bill to thirty-seven cents, which Stetson paid. According­ly, adding to this twelve cents for cigars, he deposited forty-nine cents in his wife’s hands th a t evening.

“ 1 m ight as well make it fifty,” said lie, smiling.

“No,” said she. “Not a cent over.I want the saving to represent exactly what you spend on these little luxuries, and no more.”

The' next evening he had nothing to deposit, except the usual amount for cigars.

“I t won’t amount up very fast a t that ra te ,” said.hc, triumphantly.

“Never mind,” said his wife. “ I don’t want you to increase your expen­ditures on ray account. I am inclined to think they will not often be as small “as this.”

She was right.The next day, being Wednesday,

John Stetson brought home a couple of tickets for the theatre. I t was a benefit night, and he was anxious that his wife should go.

“ Certainly,” said she. 4*I shall be glad to go; but you remember our com­pact. 1 4

“ W hat?”“ How much* did you pay for the

tickets?”“ Fifty cents apiece.”“T hat will make a dollar. Please

hand mp that amount lor our fund.”“ Was the theatre included?” said

John, a little reluctantly.“Certainly. T hat was expressly

m entioned.”“Oh, well, .then, so let it be. Here

is a silver dollar.” ’The dollar was a t once, dropped into

the box. rThe next day in passing a shop win­

dow, Stetson noticed some fine oranges.“Ju s t what Mary and the children

would like,” thought he. “I ’ll go in and inquire the price.”

They were four cents apiece. E e bought half a dozen, a t cost of a quar­ter, which, with his cigar money, left him thirty-seven cents to deposit.

The succeeding day he spent noth­ing except for cigars. On Saturday he stepped into a confectionary estab­lishment with a friend and had a lunch. This brought th a t day’s ac- couht up to forty cents.

When his wife added up the daily sums, she found, to her own surprise even, that she had received from her husband two dollars and sixty-two cents. He would have been astonish­ed to hear it, but she thought it not best to say anything about it. He w<^ld have alleged th a t i t was a special case, as they did not go to the theatre every week. Thi9 was true; but then, something else was sure to come of equivalent cost, such as a ride or a concert

So time slipped away. The necessity, acoerding to the com pact of giving his wife as much as he spent for inciden­ta l expenses, no doubt contributed to check him somewhat, so th a t probably he did not spend more than two^thirds as much in th is way as he had done before- the agreem ent Still, he kept up the average of the first week.

We will now suppose the year to have glided by. John Stetson came in­to the sitting room with a preoccupied

was his astonishment when the total proved to be one hundred and twenty-nine dollars and forty cents!

“ Yoii see you can buy the lot.”“But Tiavn’t you swelled the amount

from your own allowance?” he asked, somewljiat bewildered.

“Not) by a cent; and don’t you see, John, th a t if you had retained from even half of th e expenses we spoke of, we m ight have had inr the neighbor­hood or two hundred dollars?”

John Stetson did see, and he. deter­mined that the lesson should be a serv­iceable one. The half-acre lot was bought, and now, a t ’ the end of five years, it is worth double what he paid for it. He has also laid aside two hun­dred dollars a’year during this period, and—all by small savings.—Yankee Blade.T H O S E R I C H - S O U T H E R N L A N D S ;

tiizes tlhese facts to-day and in ho other country on the earth is this sense of commercial energy so prevalent as in our own. New fiejds of trade are sought for and cultivated with an energy and succesp th a t are but. the fore-runners of g reater and mqrq.profltable ventures in the future.

Below us stretch the wide and trade inviting nations of thd South American continent and to the rich possibilities of enlarged commercial intercourse with these, our neighbors, this country is fast awakening. ’The N icaragua canal, i.the.Panama canal, the establish­ment of tho American Export and Trad­ing Company, tho projection of rail­ways and the proposed new lines of stermships to B ra z ilia n 'in d ic a te tho direction in which many of our most intelligent business men are now turn­ing thfeir attention.

Our English cousins are quick to m ark ,the drift of this business senti­ment in this country. Only lntely the London Times, referring jlo projected enterprises like the American Export and Trading Company, said:

“ Nq little significance attaches to these beginnings of a inovemont on the p a rt of the United States for establish­ing an: understanding | with the Central and even the South American states, which, cannot but give something in the nature of a directive iufludnee to a nature so far surpassing in wealth and power all the othefs put together. Those wpo love to speculate on mani­fest destiny and kindred topics may find a good deal that is interesting in the, probable relations of the United States to thei^ southern neighbors. Any great expansion‘‘or diversion of commerce would immensely accelerate the establishm ent in some form of American influence and control over re­gions which a t present, lie theoretically outside of the sphere of the United States- Such a. development must be looked for in any case as tho American union approaches more closely by age and consolidation to the condition of the nations of the old world.”

The Times is right, .and this country' recognizes fully the importance of se­curing to itself the bulk of the great trade th a t stands thus invitingly a t its doors.1 T hat the national administra­tion soon to come into power Will give its aid and steady countenance to a project calculated to :‘bind us and our

Uncle Note's- Trouble.. _____ __ . Uncle Nate Richardson had lost hie

-M rs . A .K . W haler sn.1 daughter u ^ B is a desire th a tthe husband and father should present & good appearance as well as to masti­cate his food in a becoming manner, expostulated and argued with him day and night on the propriety of securing a set of false onoaI “Gums are good enough for me yot, Mrs. Richardson.*

“ But, Nathaniel, you’ll look so much better,” pleaded Mrs. Richardson.

“ Good looks; that, Mr$. Richardson, is carrying the thing too far.. Hem! Mrs. jRichardson, [I wish you would let ibis m atter drop.!” And the old 7,tnac sta lkel to the bam and multcred~d»ider' his breath to tbe dashing black colt his Son John drove to town, M J! Time passed oni and in spi‘e of Upcie Nat'-s muttering :knd bis grumbling the family finally won Wm over, aud he was fitted to as fine a set of teeth as the iown could furnish. And now. began tribulation in the, Richardson family- The new tee th , worried Uncle Nate. They made him homesick, lie fell to taking them out before company, to rest his jaws he said. ; He shed them in the ipost unheard-of places. He calT ieJ1 them about in hfe pocket. He )erft them in fence corners-mid on pantry shelves. Ho had a way of rattling them about in his mouth a t table! that made the family sigh and cast despairing glances a t each other. . j

After some time, however,'prospects began to brighten somewhat in tlm Richardson family. Uncle Nalte ^rad- pally ca-ne to be loss annoyed by the new order of tbinjgs, and all began to hope for smoother sailing. One day Uncle N ate started for town. His wife was with him. Suddenly he tu rn ed . the old horse arodnd in the middle ol the road. “ I say, Mrs. Richardson, wfc must go back. ? I’ve forgotten ’em.’1 i “ Forgotten whalj?” saked Mrs. Rich-

aa-dson anxiously;“ Why, them teeth.”“ Why, Nate, I skppoSed you had

’em,” said Mrs. Richardson soothingly.! ‘fNo; they’re down in the back lot onj

the fence, and they’re eaten up by this time- I haven’t a doubt of it. Your brindle cow is up to such tricks.”

“ Well, Nathaniel, I suppose we can go back and get ’em; there’s time enough.”

“ Of course there’s time enough.”I t ended in Uncle Nate’s going back

to the house and dispatching Nathaniel,! J r . , the first grandchild of the family, and pretty May, the youngest daughter, to the back lot to1 find the missing arti­cles. ’ "" j.

Uncle Nate's exploits and mishaps were so numerous that “ teeth” finally came to be.a word of reproach in the, fiimily. They even learned to designate important events as happening “ before father got his teeth,” “ alter father got his teeth,” etc.,' itho date forming an epoch in the- family history.

| But all trials en.l some t'mo.One day, about the middle of the fore­

noon, Mrs. Richardson, busy in the kitchen, was adcosted by a r igged tif.mij) who wanted something to eat. •■'And piaze, raa’ilm. an old coat or a vest would come handy, eieoirtVas. I am out a t the ebaws entirely.”' “There, now,” paid Mr-L Richard »on

to hcyse.f^ there’s father’s o!.d coat; I shall be glad to have it ont.oi the way. j live been trying to got rrd of it, b it h o ' wjouldn’t hear of it.” So, taking it j fro n the naii in the kitchen, sue gave it to the t;iimp.

Half an hour later she went to the j home of a sick neighbor. Shortly a lte r Uncle Nate, who had been qiiit re -1 pairing fences, c imo in.

1 “ W here’s your baa”’ J: cj “ Gone’to Mrs. ^mith’s,” said May.

“Sien anything of my teeth?”I “No,,father,”“ W hare’s my yellow coat? I t hung

in the kitchen w teh i we at away.”I May searched 4d*lf tbo m'fssing article, j

Uncle Nato explored cupboards) an J looked under bqdsl’isoarchFed the wool- 1 house; opened Mrs. Richardson’s b^gt] bureau drawers'and tumbled their con-' tent s onto'the bod'.; _ ( j

While ho w is mopp’ng the p re jp ira -! tipn from his foreho id I f Spied his w ife1 coming up the walk.

“ Wh '.re’s my yhllow coat. Mrs. Jlioh- ardsbn ?”

“ Why, father, it was getting so oldi and worn, 1 gave it to a tram p this morning.” . |

! “ Gave it to a tramp, you did. Mrs. Richardson! My tooth were in th a t coat pocket! Why d m’t you giveiawuy your silk dres-j? Why don’t your give aymy Nbthauiol Richardson, J r . , your grandchild? Why don’t you give suvay tlie house and the piano? G ive iib to a trump! And my teejth gone, too. W here is ho? Which way did he go? Run, May, and h e a l him off.”

The hi. ed man was called up and ro le away ih the direction, the tjramp ha l taken, while qach member of the family sent up an ardent prayer! that his soar(;h for the tiiunp wfmii hie un­successful. When he ro-umed| half an hbur laion witliout tho coat, teoih or

Attracted by the glowing ad­vertisements in the Sunday morning De­troit paper-, I reserved c- rtlain s; ring pur­chases, until the o: ei ing of the U -»er show, win n X con'd go to Detroit f. r lijilf- fare, t ike In the show, and buy enough cheaper than 1 <Jo"'d »t home, to save money for o her oijeets which I almost covettd, but dare not form a full grown wish to posses*, because 1 felt rumble to. purchase flu m.

Thus equipped w ith all I co-dd raise, I went to Detroit. To the fl wer show, . I w ill not describe it. The glitter ot el- eti hr lights; the glow and shimmer of colors,* more brilliant and resplendent ihau millions of

I s t i ^ t h e brightest rainbows,, and abAve, all, the intoxc tioir perfume of the thousands of flowers, quite carried me away. When the flist boqunt was temptingy held

^ before me so cheap, “only five dollars,” 1 had it as qu ckly as 1 would b*ve taken a seat in paradise at the same price. Other temptations assailed me, hut just then a' thought ot the cheap offers in ibe Sunday papers returned, and enabled eke to resist. Haring done the flower SI19W, I hastened toth.e cheap marke1s,ao' without beginning to susptet that I had paid dt.wly for the th is tle ia buying the boquet. I arrived at the most hrilliMiit 1 f ihq cheap stores and began to chatf r Of course I did not inquire directly for those cheap goods, acd the o liging salesl.dy placed before me such gorgeous itiQichatidisp as to ex-

The J a p a n e ^ are an intelligent alnd im itative race, an orderly and progres­sive people; hence the opening of their country'[to the influences of European civilization have resulted in a rapid abandonment of whatever of semi-bar­barism still clung to their institutions, and the adoption of thq methods of modern enlightenment.

Science and learuing have readily a t­tended upon the application of civilized, usages^ to their alre ady marked charac­teristics of rational investigation and quick perception. T h e e m forts of re­fined life were; also quickly appropriated [ and ton^d down to suit Oriental tastes and national custom is. whi.ie the tele­graph, railroads and the press, tflose g reat civilizing mediums, followed with wonderful rapidity. 1

The political changes in Japan have been as im portant aud varied as h iv e been the innovations i i the social life of the eknpirot In 1863 occured the re­establishm ent of the im perial power of the Mik ‘do, who for centuries had held only a shadow of authority, the re a l : power and influence being vested in .the Shogunior military chief.

The advent of an enlightened and progressive ruler to power in the per­son 6 the young mikado and the cen­tralization of tiie government in his hands, soon brought about the utter uprooting of the whole feudal system, le iving tiie affairs of the country to the management of a strong and abso­lute monarchy.

The mikadb has been assisted in his labors by various councils, whiqh, however, were purely administrative and advisory in character, the emperor himself being the real source of au­thority. The chief of these councils answers to the modern cabinet, an i is the highest executive and legislative boidy in the empire. >

In l$7o there was created a Gen- Roin or senate, whose imembers are chosen from among those who have rendered signal service to the state, and whose business it is to deliberate on legislative matters. Its decisions are subject to confirmation by the cabinet and the emperor. In 1881 there was constituted the so-called Sanji-iri o r council of state, which has exercised the function of ^initiating legislative measures, as well as of acting as an administrative court

So rapid was the progress of the Japanese in adopting the methods of civilization that the leading spirits among! the people lopg since conceived the desire to try th e virtu is of a co,n-- 8tjtutiqnal gjvernriient which, while- con Trailing . ; n l strengthening the authority of .the executive, guaranteed c<irt in! inalienable rights to1 the poop let and furthered their interests.

The eknp tor prove 1 a re i ly udvocatol of this improvement, and as early ns 1881 issued a decree promisi ig that a constitute n sho ild be put in operation in 18d0. In, the interv. I the best in-i formation on the j.snbje t has been sought in forei" i Countries with th3 view of preparing aj constitution espe­cially suite 1 , to the floods of japan .

The prod ict of all this study and in­vestigation has a t length beeu prom ul­gated J and within aj short time Japan will pass from the Wedheval state of- absolute despotism to ., th.^ .enjoyment; of" constitutional jgove nmcnl. Of course the detai's-of the new order of things are only im perjcrtiy known. According to the telegraph, however, there is to be a House of Peers, whose members are to bo partly hereditary, partly elective and partly nominat­ed by the Mikado, and a House of Repre entativc ', consisting of 300 merflbers, elected by male citizens of 2o j^ears and over who pay taxes to the amount of f 2 >. The new assemblies are to exercise the functions of legislation amL to have the 'control of j finance thou*," under some Tunita; tions which are not clearly i idicatedifl the press dispatches. The provisions usually contained fnl b ilU of rights. re4 laurigjtfli freedom'oflreligicm, of speech and of public assemblies, are inoorporw ated. I

A Wonan'a Discovery.“Another wonderful discovery has been ,

made and that too by a lady in this county. Disease fastened its cbitches upon her and for seven years she withstood its severest testa, but her vital organs were under- mined and death seemed imminent. For three mouths she coughed incessantly and could not sleep. She bought of us a bot­tle of Dr. King’s New Do^overy for Con- sumption and was so much relieved on taking first dose that slid slept all night and with one bottle has been miraculously cured. Her name is Mrs. I.utlicr Lutz." Thus write \S . C. Hamrack & Co., of Slielhy, N. C.—Got a free trial bottle at Chance & Hunter's drug store. 2

Princess Victoria of Prussia;The engagement of Prince Albert

Victoy of Wales, oldest Son df ihe Prince of Wales, to his cousin Prin­cess V ictoria of Prussia, daughter of Em peror Frederick of Germany, has ju st been announced. Princess Vic­to ria was born in 1866, and is there­fore now twenlty-three years p ld,"and is said to be a charm ing, sympathetic g irl, who has- always been very fond of England. Few Princesses have been so m uch talked of as she, owing to her former engagement to the ex-Prince of Bulgaria. It will bo re­membered th a t Prince Bismarck whs

* bitterly opposed to this match on ac­count of the offense which the m ar­riage would give to Russia, and the consequences of which would most likely have led to war. A bitter struggle took place between the Prince who was supported by all Germany, and the Empress, and poor Emperor Frederick’s short reign was very much em bittered by dll this. The engage­m ent was postponed, but not given up, and it was well understood tbjat the m arriage was to have taken place this year. Great j was therefore thei aston­ishm ent when in February last Prince Alexander, suddenly m arried an opera singer. There can be little doubt th a t the Princess V ictoria’s engage­m ent to Prince A lbert Victor is the d irect wqrk jof the Queen herself, who had always favored Prince Alexan­der of Bulgaria’s isuif, and who has thus procured Princess V ictoria a compensation for having boon jilted.

American boodlers in Canada will learn with dismay th a t the imperial government will approve the ex tra­dition tjall, passed by the Canadian parliam ent; which is retroactive ac­cording to the opinion of the attorney general of the dominion. If this opinion holds, our government may ask the surrender of the boocllers who have fled from this country to Canada, and in th a t case the Canadian govern­m ent would’ very likely fe4l disposed to give them up as an evidence of f|^od

^ - f a i th in passing the law. There is a good deal of sympathy in Canada for what Is known as the “American col­ony ,*1 a number of whom have her come identified with the best society there .' 1 But as this did not prevent th e passage of the law, it will not bo powerful enough ' to protect them in case this governm ent should ask for th e ir surrender. ^

What had the Colonel seen? I “Why, simply a birch bark canoe climliing the fence at a distant field. The “suicide” ! was plain as day rko the Colonel now. When he saw that canoe scoot j across a portion of the meadow toward a hay stack and suddenly crouch down"*' in the high grass, the Colonel hurried forward. The party stopped within hearing distance of the hidden canoe. ;

And there the Colonel held the party one half hour, while he told about a man he once knew who got over head and heels in debt and feigned suicide. This man took some old clothes to the river bank, let his hat float down the river and then sneaked out of town at night, thus avo'dh ing his creditors. . ,

“ It is just possible,” wound up the Col­onel, “ that soiqe such game as this is h$- ing played and we may be just in time to discover the rascal. Hadn’t we better look around a little?”

L etter in the New York ^Tribune: Dr. W. B. C arpenter says in hia r

| “ Physiology:” “I t is quite certain | that an apparent cessation of ali the vital functions may take place without that entire loss of vitality which would

j leave the organism in the condition of , j a dead body, liable to be speedily dis­integrated by the operation o ' chemical

| and physical agencies.” I t is also ap­parently a fact that such “apparent cessation of all the vital functions” may continue for an indefinite period when the right conditions ex is t The best known illustration of this is the case of the fakir qf Lahore, who was buried for six weeks, a t the instance of 'Run- je tt Singh, as attested by Sir Claude Wade, the B ritish resid en th t the court of Loodhianzt in 1837. In this (thor­oughly 'authenticated case—whid however, is but one of a class of simil3 facts known to Anglo-Indians and trav­elers—the fakir was first put into a linen bag, the bag was placed in a tvooden box, fastened with a padlock, the wooden box was deposited in a cell in the niiddle, of a large brick vault, every aperture of which but one was bricked up, while the rem aining door was built up with mud above the

and the Goik range and on into W ashing-lock, and fastened with the ra jah ’s seal.A% a final precaution a comp my of soldiers was detailed to guard the vault , day and night, four sentries cop^taptiy ^ patrolling its) four sides during the whjole period. When at the expiratibn o fsix weeks the vault and the box was .successively opened Sir Claude Wade, whojwith l^unjeet Singh had entered the Jbuilding and taken -th e ir places close toithe boJy so as to see every­thing, says this is what appeared be­fore them: “The servant then began} pouring warm water over the figure,! but as ray object was to see ff any fraud­ulent practices could be detected I p r posed to Runjeet Singh to tear op

rthe bag and have a perfect view ofi body before any means of resuscitaf. were employed I accordiuglydid so,E and may here rem ark thfl-t the bag,If when first seen by us, appeared mil*! dewed, as it had been buried some) time. The le^s and arms of the body were shriveled and stiff, the face full the head reclining on the shoulder likd that pf a corpse. I then called to the medical gentleman who was attending me to come down and inspect the body| which, he. did, but could discover pulsation In the he irt, the temples, the arm. There Was, however, a he a t the region of the brain, which other part of the body exhibited.

“The servant then recommend© bathing him with hot water, and g ually relaxing his arm s and legs frod the rigid state in which they were^coij tracted. Runjeet Singh taking right, and I his left leg to aid by fri tion in restoring them to their propc j action; during which time the servar placed a hot wheaten cake about inch thick, on the top of th e head, process which he twice or thrico newed.
