The announcement, through the

The principle of beginning no
better than we can hold out iT a
(rood one to follow. In the good
old days our mothers begun with
very slim house furnishings. Among
the middle class a half dozen silver
teaspoons was the usu tl amount of
silver, a rush bottom rocking chair
and a halt dozen other chairs with-
out rockers to mitch, a half dozen
kitchen Windsor chairs a few d >z-
en dishes, some home spun linen,
a table or so and as many bed-
steads, were the principal ptrt of
the outfit. Nobody hut t ic w e i! thy
thought of wedding presents and
luxuries. People got married for
jove nnd they thought more of
pleasing eich other than of stun-
ning the world with tháir fine ap-
pearances. It was the rule to live
within one's means or under and
the sheriff was not s > full fed then;
and even now he rarely gets on
those who have m de i a religious
duty to avoid all needless outlay of
money in houses, furnishings, dress-
ing tables, luxuries, or other things
until the pocket boo« is full to
s:and the drain without collapsing.
There was not many inventions in
those days to take money, and peo-
ple did not have to say 'no" every
day to/some urgent invitation to
hiuv-- go-fnto some new scheme
tbar benefits the airent more than
the buyer. If a man sav^d a ffew
thousand it could be divided at his
death without great shriveling to
the disadvantage of his heir* and
advantage to those who hover
around a deal man's estate like
vultures over their prey. If a man
bought a farm it didn't cost him
from $25 to $50 in fees to this and
that man in miking the transfer.
Even fjueral expenses would
scarcely fo>t up $20 where they do
now $200 It is far better to be-
gin low and mount up, than to
start nigh and fall; better io volun-
tarily curb the pride that "goeth
before a fall," than to wait for
poverty to conqucr it. It is a self-
evident fact that those who live in
style above what their real earr-
ings permit, are a living lie. They
may justify themselves before men
for a while, but what is an abumi-
nation to the sight of man.

A Timneweoeu has discovered •
new way to n.casure large areas of
land. He weighs it—rather, lie
weighs his map and computes the
measurements from the scale rec-
ords. Louis a Mathey of Spot,
Tenn., writes to Engineering News
that he has for thirty-four years
been obtaining land areas by the
simple process of accurately plotting
the survey to soUe on good paper,
then cutting away the paper outside
the boundary with a sharp knife and
weighing the folded plot of the tract
on a chemist's or jeweler's scale ac-
curately to one sixty-fourth grain.
He sends a sample map of a tract
of 16,651 acres, plotted on a scale
of 80 rods to the nch on a sheet of
18x24-inch paper which weighed
42 8-33 grains. Engineering News
