Teaching Ihrilt to the Young.
The nuiiilier of minors who lc
come depositors in the postal hanks
of count l ies having the system in
operation i very large. Jt is prin
cipally for the purpose of encourag
ing children to save that provision
is made liir stamp deposits
In great Itritain, for instance, the
smallest dcpoMt which will lie re
ceived and entered in a passliook is
1 shilling, or li 1 cents. However,
smaller amounts may lie saved hv
stamp-. A child w ith a penny niav
Imy a -lamp and allix it to a card.
When thi- card contains twelve
stamps it can lie l'j -ii ihI as a shill
ing, : 1 1 1 1 the depositor is entitled to
receive a pa.-slxiok. This arrange
ment makes the institution very
Kipular among the children, and is
h convenient as to stimulate them
to make use of its advantages. In
addition, the schools are frcipientlv
made use of' as agencies of the post
al hank lor the collection of sav
ings. The teachers receive the de
jxisits of the children and turn then)
over to the postal hank authorities.
JJclgiiini is one of the countries in
which the activities of the taviugs
iKiiik ure extended to the bchool-
room. Out of 7,447 primary whoo!,
inclusive of infant school and the
school of primary instruction at
tached to educational institutions of
other classes, there were 4,"9S
which took iirt in the Kivings
liank business The niimU-r of
children in those schools pos'sing
deposit Ixioks was 1") 1,102, of
whom .S(5,:00 wen' lxiys and (i?,-
8S:l wcie girls. Including the
schools nltove primary grade there
were, according to a recent report,
.r),0."t schools of all kinds in which
200.N47 pupils had saved To l,-
402 franecs. Most of the schools
of lVlgium, therefore, it may lie
slid, teach thrift and economy with
their instruction in the elements of
education.
The spectacle of the jmstoHiecs of
a country licing used as a means for
teaching the young the value of
su ing and inculcating in them hab
its that w ill lie of great use to them
in later life should make every
thoughtful person an advocate of
postal sivings banks.
Beautiful Sea Shells.
Kvcry one admires them. Since

THE APPRECIATIVE "THANK YOU.''
It is the Small Courtesies That Make
,ije Worth Urine.
"On ovcrv hand one hears of the
neglect to' say 'thank you,'" writes
Edward W. Bok on "The Saying of
'Thank You,' " in the Noveinlier
litaHes1 Home Journal. "1 wonder
sometimes if some people really
know how little of what comes to
them is their due and right, and
how much of what conns to them is
by favor and courtesy. The vast
majority of things which come to
us, come by pure fiivor, by eoiirttsy.
Anil we should recognize this. No
act of kindness, however slight,
should go unnoticed. A 'ihank
yon' is a simple thing to say ; it re
ipiiivs but a lew moments to write
it, but it often means much ; ii
means a renewed faith in human
nature in some can's. A word o!
thanks is never lost upon the per
son to whom it is directed, its ex
pression has not been lost Upon
some one else who has heard it. It
is certainly not lost upon ourselves.
The most of us arc puiek enough to
thank some one who docs us great
service, lint the small courtesy,
just as great as the large service in
reality, we overlook. It doesn't
seem worth while to give thanks for
small things. And yet what
would we lc to-day, and where
Would some of us lie but for the
small courtesies of life? They are
what make life worth living.
" It is all very well to have
the last Thursday of each Novem
ber set apart as a day of Thanks
giving. Kiit it would he far liettcr
if a great many of us carried the
spirit of the day into all the other
days, l'erhaps, if we did so we
might have more mercies to In
thankful for on Thanksgiving Day.
I)o not let the spirit of thanks
stop with night-tall on Thansgiving
lay. I iet us extend it to all the
other days of the year, to the jicoplc
whose lives touch ours. When we
receive a favor at the hands of any
one, no mutter how small it may be,
let us say the words, 'Thank you.'
If they should be written let us
write them. Let us not delay them,
but take advantage of the intent
when our . heart is touched. Let
there be more 'thank yous' said by
everybody thousands ot them.
And the world will 13 a better,
brighter and happier place to live
in Uvausc of them."
teHilr 8upde4 Far Lack of Fmad.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 15. In Ma an
nuaJ report to th secretary of the
navy Philip Hlchborn, chief construct,
or of the navy. Bay that the strength
of the navy on Oct. 1 was 141 vessels
all told. Including the ships of both old
and new navy. It Is stated that dur
ing the last few months ot the last
fiscal year a considerable amount ot
work upon vessels that had been au
thorised by congress had to be sus
pended owing to lack of funds. This
caused a heavy drain upon the new
appropriations at the beginning ot the
present fiscal year and makes the ex
haustion of those appropriations before
the 1st of next July almost certain.

Blood Taint
Here it a ease of inherited blood taint
which resulted in what threatened to be
a complete wreck of an innocent young
life. The most serious feature of being
afflicted with a blood disease it the fact
that innocent posterity must suffer. The
man or woman with the slightest taint
in the blood forces the undesirable leg
acy of impurity upon their children
whose veins flow with the impure inher
itance which handicaps them in the race
of life.
No child who has a trace of had blood
can be healthy or strong, and those pre
disposed to Scrofula are liable to a great
deal of sickness, because tbeir constitu
tions are weak and cannot withstand the
many dangers which beset the path of
childhood. Medical statistics show that
a majority of lung troubles result directly
from Scrofula, so that a child nfDiclea
with this disease is likely to fall a vic
tim to dreaded consumption.
Mr. V. A. Clayton, of Addie, N. C,
believes S.S.S. is the ouly blood remedy
which can have auy effect whatever
upon obstinate caes. He says :
" My three-year-old boy hud the worst
case of Scrofulu I ever beard of. lie

" The.bad sores on his neck increased
in size, aud were a source of constant
pain. He was in this pitiful condition
for two years, vheu some one recotn
Uieuded S.S.S. , stating that it had cured
some of the worst cases of blood diseases.
As soou as his systeui was under the ef
fect of the tuediciue, the sores began to
get better, aud iu eiht days were com
pletely healed. Before long he could
walk on crutches, aud was improving
every day. Iu three mouths he threw
aside his crutches, for he had no further
use for them ; the dreadful disease had
been eliminated entirely from his sys
tem, and he was restored to perfect
health. The cure was a permanent one,
as no sign of the disease has returned
for ten years."
S.S.S. is a real blood remedy, and
promptly reaches all deep-seated and
obstiuate blood diseases, it matters not
what other treatment has failed. It is
the only remedy which acts ou the cor
