The Science of Saving.
If any who read these lines arc conscious
that their pockets are made of such ma
terials that whatever money is put in to
them will burn a hole uutil it gets out, I
would advise them, whenever they take
air, to leave their money at home, or,
better still, to keep an exact account of
every penny they spend. It is astonish
ing how foolish small extravagancies ap
pear when they have to be put down in
black and white, after the temptation to
indulge in them is over. And they must
be put down in detail, and not convenient
ly classed together under the head of
"sundries." No one who has not tried it
would believe what a check it is upon
personal expenditures to keep a thorough
account of money spent, and not only a
check, but a help; for prices may be com
pared, aud thus lessons learned from ex
perience. Generally, whenever large sav
ings have been made, they have been ef
fected in little sums. It is very difficult
to realize fully the value of small sums.
If the pennies and half-pennies that lie
loose in the pocket were properly appre
ciated, there would not be so much pe
cuniarry cmbarassment in the world as
there is. "Many a mickle makes a muck
le." These little savings, as a rule, must
be made iu pcrsoual expenditures more
than anything else. When money is put
aside to be saved it should be put in some
place where it cannot be directly got at.
We cannot speak too highly of the sav
ings bank for this purpose. The very
fact that a little trouble and a formula
have to bo (roue through with before it can
be obtained, prevents its being spent
many a time when it most certainly would
be if it were close at hand. There are
two or three ways in which money can be
saved that wc should like to mention.
The first is by buying in large quantities.
Anothei way to save expense is to pay
for everything as you get it. If vou do
this, you will avoid overcharges and will
buy for less. If the money had to be
paid at the moment, many an unnecessary
purchase would be avoided by all. Peo
ple who have limited incomes are those
who can least afford to live on credit;
and, unfortunately, they do it more than
any others.
Under the head of "Women and Theft,"
Col. Forney, in Progress, veutilates the
foibles of Washington Society women,
lie says, "women have small faith in the
honesty of women; they tell you at re
ceptions, parties, and the like, small or
naments are always carried off; that card
and photograph albums of reception room
tables are regularly plundered, and that
artificial and growing flowers are always
clipped and torn to pieces if they stand
anywhere within the reach of visitors. It
is always women who are suspected of
these thefts. If women are right in their
opinion of women, and you look for an
explanation, I do not think you need look
far. A lady may do with impunity what
a gentleman would never dream of doing,
and she knows it. A mail dare not gossip,
for if he does, and any one is injured
thereby, punishment is swift, sure and
severe. But to gossip is the privilcdge
of the lady, and she is never called to ac
count. So with this older and graver sin.
Suppose, for instance that a rich and aris
tocratic (lame had deliberately stolen one
of those rings; what would bo the result?
Nothing, of course. The affair would be
hushed up. But suppose it was a gentle
man ; well lie would be ruined for ever—
as much as if he was caught picking a
pocket in a craovvd."
A condensation of all the laws shows
the improvement of the American Post
office Department since Feburary 20,
1779; ami from this bird's-eye view of
consecutive legislation on a most impor
tant subject we can trace the rapid
growth of a system which, beginning
when our population was trifling, has
since swollen into continental dimensions.
One hundred years ago a single letter sent
30 miles cost 8 cents; a hundred miles,
12 1-2 cents; two hundred miles, 17 cents;
four hundred and fifty miles, 25 cents;
and double these rates for double letters,
aud triple letters triple prices. Now, in
1880, a single letter of 1-2 oz. costs three
cents for four thousand miles, or from
Maine to California. This little table is a
volume of progress.
Another plan is now before the public
for an Inter-Oceauic Canal. An Ameri
can engineer has just returned from a
survey of the Tchuantepec route, and
pronounces it more feasible than either
the Panama or Nicaragua routes, being
only one hundred and fifty miles long and
for sixty miles nearly level. Labor is re
ported to be plenty and cheap, and the
natives arc said to be eager to begin op
erations.
