Besides, often the smarter Is the poorer lnisliiosa man. Tho wholo world of commoren de pends upon the practice of bookkneplng, mid nil that bookkeeping Isonn be reduced to this: A record of business transactions kept so that they can bo readily grouped and understood ns n oonoreto whole. Book- I kenplng Is usually confined to n record of money transnotlons, A friend of mine car rion the method still further. He keeps books for his ideas and tho information picked up at odd moments. In his vest pocket he carries a little book which ho calls his daybook. In that he records everything ho tvlshos to remember, whether It is to buy a bottle of liquid glue to mend his little girl's doll or n social engagement for the following week. Everything goes into the daybook from the name of a man who want a job to n schemo to make n million that may go flitting through his head. In addition to the daybook my friend keeps a "ledger of Ideas." Into this ore transferred all such matters as nre likely to bo needed for future reference, like ad dresses, suggestions in connection with Ids business, all grouped in suuh a way that they can bo turned to In a moment. When a matter hns boen disposed of, a pencil mark is drawn through it, and that ends it except that it serves as a memoran dum of the foot and tho period of tlmo when entered, for those items ore divided by date lines indicating tho period whon entered.

FAL11N0 HAIR TS? . MORE RAILWAY CHANGES. A New Heading ltwitc In Fountain Rnrliig Heported. It conies to u from excellent authority, says tho Ashland Telegram, that the Phila delphia ft Iteaillug Hallway Company have under serious consideration two very im portant plans for the relief of tho crowded condition of tralBc on the Little Schuylkill branch of the road. One of these plans 1b the double (racking of the road from St. Nicholas to Port Clinton, and the other the consti no tion of a new llfte'to be run from this side of Gordon via Pbnfltain Springs, to a point below 1'raokville, where it will counect with tho line to Palo Alto. In case of the execu tion of either of' these plans it would result In dolffgaway with the planes at Oordou and at Mahanoy l'larje. To run a route to v ractvme via fountain Springs is not a new Idea, as such a route was considered and surveys for the sanns made years ago, and railroaders iu this vicinity have thought for some time that It was one of theposslbllitiesof tbo future. In thepast week P. & E. engineers have been quietly at work In this viclulty, and especially In the valley between Gordon snd Fountain Springs, and it is tho belief of many that the Hue herein mentioned will soon be con structed. Such a routo would have many advantages over the present one. It would do away with heavy grades, and many sharp curves, and above nil it would save the constant expense of keeping tho planes iu repair. It would also lessen the haul by a number of miles. While wo are not ready to say with authority that the Reading has decided upon cither of these plans wo are assured that they are now being considered, and we would not be sur prised at hearing something more definite on tho subject at any time.

At least, such is the plan of the association, and every possible effort will bo made to carry it out. A meeting of the directors was held in Sunbury on Friday. John L. Miller, of Kimbury, was elected superintendent of the Home aud his wife as matron. Their' salaries were flxod nt six hundred aud twb hundred dollars per year respectively. Tho secretary's salary was mado three hundred dollars. The time of opening the Home caine up for much discus sion, and it was finally decided that all necessary work about tho building and grounds should be started at onro and pushed to rapid coinplctiuu, so that orphans could be received on AJiril 1st, or as near that date as possible Many of the Odd Fellows of Cen tral Pennsylvania, to whom tho Homo be longs, favor a demonstration to murk the opening, and it is uioro than likely that de fiillto action will he taken soon on the subject.
