VIRTufoF THRIFT.
Cultivate It Earnestly, but D Not
Carry It to Excess.
Thrift Is u composite quality. It em
braces wltulu Itself nearly all of t lie
great virtues. It Involves Industry,
prudence, forethought, self denial.
It certainly bus no relation to nig
gardliness or meanness.
Some men would let their grand
mothers starve for the sake of a few
dollars. Such action cannot be culled
thrifty. A virtue carried to excess be
coiuee a vice mid Is no longer a virtue.
Thrift that does not take Into part
nership honesty of character develops
into covctousncss und avarice.
Thrift is the opposite of thriftless
ness. prodigality, improvidence and
waste.
Thrift means better homes and bet
ter food, more comfort and enjoyment,
less waste and less nnxlety.
It Is possible thut a large proportion
of people have earnings so small that
saving seems impossible. But Ibis Is no
reason for their being unthrifty. On
the contrary, it Is reason for making
the best and the most of the Utile they
have for their health, comfort und true
happiness.
A few dollars In a home nr a savings
bank, or any safe Invesment, Is as good
seod as ever was sown.
Out of It grow confidence, quickened
energies, (Irmer courage, more stalwart
thought and hope, more orderly citizen
ship, education for the children and the
Independence and self respect that lift
aimless, hopeless drudges up to the
true manhood that aspires and achieves,
Christian Herald.
RUNNING AND BREATHING.
Why ths Exertion Mskts the Lungs
Gacp For Mors Air.
It Is hard to breathe after running
awhile, because your body requires
more blood In circulation. The efforts
of your heart, brain und lungs make
breathing difficult. We breathe to take
air Into the lungs, where the blood
which bus onco been through the ar
terloa and comes hack on Its return
trip to the heart Is exposed to the air
In the lungs before going back Into tho
heart. The air which wo take Into our
lungs purllJes the once used blood and
makes It Into good blood again.
Whcu you run the heart pumps blood
Into your arteries faster to enable you
to run, we are told by the Book of
Wonders. Thus also the arteries send
much more blood back to the heart
through the veins, and this must be
purified by the lungs before going back
Into the heart. To attend to purify
ing this extra amount of spoiled blood
tho lungs need more air. and thus you
arc made to breathe la more air for
the purpose.
Unless you are hi good training
your wind In good condition, us we
say It Is nlmost Impossible for you to
supply the lungs with enough air for
the purpose, but whether you can do
It or not the lungs cull upon you for
more air and cause you to try to get It,
and tbut Is what makes you get out of
breath.
QUEER WEDDING CUSTOMS.
In India the Native Guests Literally
Paint the Town Red.
They have some curious wedding
customs In India. At a native wed
ding In Bombay the wedding guests
literally "paint the town red" by
throwing on ono another u kind of red
powder until titty are crimson from
head (o foot. Their disordered while
draperies, the stains and splashes on
their faces anil hair give them the up
penianee of victims of u massncre. In
India hulls which may be secured for a
mall reulul nre provided for these
ceremonies. But Weddings are also
celebrated In the Hindu temples, with
priests In attendance. In u Hindu
temple a bride of twelve must seat
herself on n slone nnd be drenched
with water by her bridesmaids. Be
bind her, her mother Is subjected to a
similar deluge, end at a short distance
behind the bride's mother tho grand
mother undergoes the same treatment,
while In front of the dripping trio two
priests sit beside n briskly burning
wood fire mumbling the prescribed
words for I lie ceremony. One casts n
few grains of rice Into the fire and the
other, with a ladle, throws Into It a few
drops of oil.
During these performances the bride
groom, sealed In n cnrrlage outside
the temple, receives the congratula
tions of his friends. In (he far east
tho bridegroom would seem to lie the
member of the party most to be en
vied. People's Homo Journal.

SINGING IN ENGLISH.
The Difficulty of Bounding Certain
Words en High Netee.
English as Is commonly sung has
become so hard to understand that
musical authorities nre earnestly seek
ing a remedy. And the composer is
principally te blame, says frauds
Toye, writing in the Loudon Nation.
"That there are difficulties In sing
ing certain English syllables on cer
tain notes may ho admitted," says sir.
Toye. "English, unlike German and
Italian, Is not predominantly a lan
guage of ,broad vowel sounds. It Is
avrkwurd, for Instance, tu slug 'fix' or
'her' or 'sun' with n loud, sustained
tone on a high note. But If compos
ers knew their business they would
not, save In nny exceptional circum
stances, usk the singer to do anything
of Iho kind.
"Half Hie Imaginary difficulties of
singing English arise from tho Incom
petence of many composers lit setting
It to music. They seem neither to
think In terms of singing nor to si mly
the natural rhythm of the language.
When they do tho 'problems' of sing
ing In English vanish like the mist be
fore tho sun."
