If Mr. rfoeephus Pangrew thought he had one special mission in life, it was to guard Mrs. Josephus Pangrow from the sin of extravagance. To hear bis frequent admonitions on domestio wastefulness, oho would havo supposed that Mrs. Pangrow was tho most prodigal of housewives: when, in reality, she was ono who conducted her housewifery with a wise economy. "Jane," Mr. Pangrow would say, " It's the littlo dribbling waste in tho house that keeps most folks poor. A woman will let a fortuno leak out of a man's pocket, and he never knows where it's gone, by boing wasteful with the little things. Tho waste of a penny here and a penny there makes a big sum in the end. Jane, do bo keerful and savin' in your housework." A few samples of tho roproofs to which Mrs. Pangrow was subjootod by her economical spouse might prove in teresting reminders to more than ono similarly afflicted housowifo. Coming into the kitchen ono day, ho ?pled a bar of soap lying in a basin of water which hia wife had accidentally dropped thoro a minute before. While bathing hor hum Is, one of tho littlo children foil from a chair, and, hasten ing to its rescue, tho soap sho was using slipped from her hands and foil into tho wator. It was whilo Mrs. Pangrew was comforting the child that Mr. Pangrow carao into the room and saw tho soap. * " Good gracious, Jano I" he animated ly exclaimed, see that cake of soap meltln away in that wator. What do you mean by such oxtravaganco ?" M Tho soap dropped into tho wator when I ran to pick Rosy up, and I couldn't stop to take it out," replied tho wifo. " Why couldn't you ?" ho askod ab ruptly. " Rosy wouldn't a died tn that second. It's jost sucli wastofulnoss that koops us always hard up. It's enough to discourage any man to know that what ho's work-in' so hard for is boing wasted by his wife's keerluBs noss. When it is romomborod that tho bar of soap costs only five cents, and that in brief time it lay in tho wator it could not havo dissolved moro than ono-tonth of a cent's worth, tho roador's sym pathies will no doubt bo keenly enlisted in behalf of Mr. Pangrow's ruinous loss. Ifoccasionally a loaf of broad was burned. nocusBitating the loss of the crust; Mr. Pangrow would reproach his wife as earnestly as though tho Iobb involved thoir financial ruin. When his wife would remind him that some article of food was out ho would exclaim: " Well, I never saw things givo out as thoy do in this house. I'm jest, always a buyln.' It didn't use to bo bo in -my father's family. My mothor was keerful and mado things last." " How can I mako things last?" his wife would Bay. "Wo havo a largo family, and when wo aro daily drawing from tho groceries, how can thoy last?" "Well, I saw somo rico out on tho ground tho other day that had boon thrown out to tho chickens. Talk of boin' economical and feeding chickonB on rico at 10 cents a pound." " It was a little rico that stuck to tho bottom of tho kettlo in cooking and wasn't fit to oat," tho annoyed wifo rejoined. "I never waste any food that is tit, to oat." " Woll, that's jost where tho point lies," persisted her husband. " If you was keerful in cooking thoro wouldn't bo a any such wasto In tho food." It was on tho fuel in particular that Mr. Pangrow kept a cIobo economical eye, and Kept up a continuous nagging on tho amount used. " I can't sec to tho lifo of mo how you manage to uso so much coal in that kitchen," ho would say. "I know I could do tho work thoro and not uso half as much." Many a time, after heaping such reproaches on his wife, Mr. Pangrow would go to town and spend 50 cents for cigars* But that was not wasteful ness ; oh, no? To say that Mrs. Pangrow had bo come tired of this ceaseless and need less haranguo on domestio prodigality is no expression whatever of hor feel ings on the subject. Sho had becomo so worn out and disgusted with it that the very mention of tho word "economy" would produce a feoling of nauBca through her physical being tho same as comes to somo people at tho recol lection of swallowing pills or taking castor oil. And sho had for a long time revolved tho question in her mind if Micro was no way sho could put an end to such unjust persecutions. Ono summer morning this good lady happened to go to tho barn, and found her husband on tho iloor surrounded by what scorned tobe bushels of old har ness. "What aro you doing ?" sho askod. V My work harness is giving all out." ho roplied, " and I'm trying to patch it up with soino of theso old straps." "Why, you havon't had t hut harness very long, havo you v" sho inquired. " About fivelor six years," ho replied. "You bought it for good harness, didn't you ?" sho porsistcd in inquir ing- s "Yes, it was a first-class work har ness. I paid $25 for it." "Why, 8eo how dry and cracked it is," said his wifo examining it moro closely. " Don't you over oil it ?" " Y-e-o-s." " How many times havo you oilod it since you had it?" continued tho in qusitlvo woman. " O, I don't know?two or three times I guess," ropliod the economical man. " No wonder it's wearing out," said his wifo. " My father usod to say that a good harnoss wouldlast fifteen years if given good care. 'Ho mado it a rule to oil his harness every time it got WQt, and oilod it ovory fow months any way." "Of courso, a harness will last longer with such caro." Mr. Pangrow replied. " But I'm always so busy I don't havo time to oil mino." Mrs. Pangrow stood for a few min utes thinking, then turned and wont out of tho barn. A few days after glancing out of the window, Mrs. Pangrow saw hor hus band driving out of his field with the harvester. Whon ho drovo up sho asked : "Have you boon harvostlng? I didn't know the grain was ripe." " No, I'm Just bringing tho harves ter up to get it ready, he replied. "Where was it?" she inquirod. "In the field," he answered. " You don't mean to say tho harves ter has been in tho flold all winter, do you ?" " Yes, it has," ho replied. " I loft it thoro when I got through last season, and I intended to bring it up and put it under cover, but I was so rushed I forgot about it." Upon examination, tho harvester was found to be so rusty and injured by the long oxposuro that ropairs to the amount of ten dollars had to be purchased. Mrs. Pangrew's opportunity had come. "Jooephus," sho said, "for fifteen years I have listened to your everlast ing nagging on the subject of economy. It aeon, to mo the burden of your talk since wo were married has been in ad * monishing mo against wastefulness. And I havo novor wastod in the whole of ray married lifo as much as you've paid oufc us repair* upon this machine, which is just tho result of your neglect to take care of it. The harness you wero mending the other day is Just about ruined from rough uf age and the want of oiling. I've been keeping my oyes open of lato, and I believe there a twonty dollars wasted on tho farm under your management where there in one dollar wasted in tho house. And I've come to this conclusion?that the time you ?pent guarding me from extravagance and giving me needless lectures had better be spent In keep ing things from going to waste In the farm matters under your care. You have hundreds of dollars' worth of machinery that stands out in the weather the year round, rusting" and rotting out. Last week three lambs died because you neglected to put their mothers up out of that damp snow storm. Now, I want to make a treaty with you, dating from this hour; 1 never want to hear another word on my extravagance while I live. You will have your hands full if you prevent waste in tho farm matters that come within your own duties." Mr. Pangrew made not a word of ro plv. lie had both sense and justice enough to see the truth in the matter, and accepted it by keeping tho treaty inviolate. OLD-TIME ARISTOCRACY. Olli Arn Tells How the Wealthy Lived and Enjoyed Themselves In An e Bellum Daya. Atlanta Constitution. Before the late war thore wero two distinct types of civilization in the Southern States, especially those States lying oast of the Mississippi river. They wore tho common people and the aristocracy. Whilo these classes did intermingle and somotimes in tor-mar ry, yot the line was plainly marked and soomod to be growing more visi blo as tho years rolled on. The in stitution of slavery helped to keep it bright. It was not a lino between the poor and the rich nor the ignorant and the educated, nor between slaveholders and ' non-slavoholdors. It was not a political line dividing the Whigs from tho Democrats, but nevertheless, it was a lino that all of thoso helped to mako and it gradually grow into one of social equality or inequality. Wealth, education and dominion con tributed to make up the distinction. Either of thoso glvo powor and influ ence. All of them combined will lift a man above the toilers and command thoir rospect as well as their envy. Tho aristocrats wore gonorally gentle men of education, refinement, man ners und with many a sontiment of set tling their porsonal diiTeronces ac cording to thoir so-callod code of honor. Money helped to establish this title of courso, but It was not absolutely essential. Indeed, it was possible for there to be rich working men and poor aristocrats. The results of the war de voloped many of these. Our cities are full of tho former and thoy are gener al iy tho leading men in business and in industrial pursuits. The old time aristocrats esteemed themselves to be gontlomon and gener ally thoy wore. Thoy wero of good stock and thoroughbred and could boast of ancestry, whether they wero riding or walking you could tell them by their carriage, bv the vehicle thoy rode In or tho measured dignity with which thoy walked about. This vo hlclo was as unlquo as a Chinaman's palanquin. It did not rest on elliptic springs but was swung high between four half circles, and tho dickey or driver's scat, was perched still higher and the driver's l)ell-crowned hat was tbo first thing that carao into view over tho hill. Thore wore two folding staircases to the vehicle and nobody but an aristocrat could ascend or de scend thom with aristocratic grace. Tho gentleman who was born and bred to this luxury was a king In his way, limited H Is true, but nevertheless a king, ills house' was large and roomy, having a broad ball and a piazza orna mented with tall fluted columns and Corinthian caps. This mansion was situated in a grove of vonerablo oaks. It was sot back 100 or 200 yards from tho big road and tho lano that led to its hospitable gate was enfiladed with cedars or lombardy poplars. Frag ments of cedars aro still loft but the Soplars dtod with tho old South. Thoy ted at tho top, very Uko thoir owners. Prominont in tho roar of this mansion was the old ginhouso with tho spacious circus ground underneath, whero the horses went round and round under the groat cogwheels and tho llttlo darkles rode on tho beams and popped their home-mado whips. Not far away wore tho negro cabins and the orchard and tho big family garden and all around wore fowls and pigs and pigeons and honey hees and bound dogs and picka ninnies to keep things lively. Tho owner of the plant was a gentleman aud was so regarded by the neighbor hood. He had boon through college and to New York and Saratoga and canio back and married another gentle man's daughter and settled down. The old folks on both sides had given them a start and built the mansion and had sont over a Bharo of tho family negroos to multiply and replenish. Most Of thoso old-time gentlemen kept what was callod 14 open house," ana all who catno wero welcome. There was no nood to send word that you woro coming, for food and sholter wero always roady. Tho old gentleman called for Dick, Juck, or Caesar to come and take the horses and put them up and food them. There was plenty, of corn and fodder in the crib; plenty of big, fat hams and leaf lard in tho smoke-house ; plenty of turkeys and chickens in tho back yard; plenty of preserves in tho pantry; plenty of trained servants to do all tho work while tho lady of tho house enter tained her guests. How proud woro thoso family servants to snow oft* be fore their visitors and display their ac complishments in tho kitchen, the drawing room and the chamber. Thoy shared the family standing in the com munity and had but llttlo respect .'or what thoy called H the poor white trash " of tho neighborhood. In tho courso of time this gentleman bocamo the father of a family and grow solid in flesh and habits and hos pitality, and, like his father before him, ho sottlod down liko we all settle down sooner or later to a big chair on tho vorandu in summer, or a rocker by tho fireside in winter. The old-timo gentleman dressod well and carried a gold-headed cane and n massive watch and chain that were made of pure old gold at Geneva. Thore was a seal attached to tho chain ?a heavy prismatic Beal that had his monogram. The manner with which ho toyed with this ohain and seal was one of the visible signs of a gentleman and was as significant as the motion of a lady's fan. Tho old gentlomans com pany suit was a navy blue swallow-tail coat, ornamented with brass buttons ; a pair of pants to match and a white Marsailles waistcoat. When these were set off with a silk beaver hat, a ruffled shirt and a bandana handker chief tho-vislble make-up of tho gentle man was oomploto. The invisible, siftn was gonorally a mortgago on his farm for a few thou sand dollars, but ho had a rich man's ways, oven though ho was financially embarrassed. His flame was in tho grand jury box ?novor in the potlt jury box. That would have been an Indignity that ho would have resonted. There was no lino of demarcation botwoen the com mon people and the aristocraoy that was more rigidly drawn than the one that separated tbo ? and jury from the petit Jury. Tho aristocrats held all the promi nent ofuoes, and they were the gen orals, colonels, and major of the militia. Most of the professional gentlemen came from this aristocratic stock. They were generally whlgs in politics and wore the ^atrpus of high schools aud colleges, and atoeked the learned professions with an annual opop of graduates who were loyal to Henry I Clay and Fllltnoro and Stephen? and Toombe and John Bell and the code of in?niuv They had wealth and dignity and abundant leisure, and Solomon says that in leisure there is wisdom, and so those men became pur lawmak ers and jurists and statesmen and they were thoubining lights in the councils of the nation. Of course, they were not all whigs. There were many distinguished excep tions such ae the Jacksons and Cobbs and Colquite and Lumukins who were democrats though of aristocratic birth. Governor Brown was, perhaps, the first illustrious Georgia statesman to oome up from among tho common peo ple and stay with them and lead thorn as Moses led the children of Isrel. His whole political lifo has been a fight against the power and oppression that come from wealth and monopoly. The result of the war was a fearful fall to tho aristocracy of Georgia. They lost many of their noble sons in tho army. They lost their property soon after. Tho extent of their misfortunes no ono will ovor know, for the heart only knowoth its own bitterness. Many of tnern suffered and were strong, but tho majority gave up to despondenoy and their children were left to scufllo for themselves. The collapse to them was awful. They had not been raised to exercise self-denial or economy and it was humllating la the extreme for them to have to desend to the level of the common people. But they did and did it heroically. And so in course of time this lino of demarcation between the common people and tho old aristo cracy began to fade, and finally it pass od away just as the old aristocracy passed away. A new and a hardier stock came to tho front, that class which, before the war, was under a oloud. The results of the war made an opening for thorn and developed their latent energies. With no high degree of culture they nevertheless proved equal to the struggle up the rough hill of life and began to build up what the war had pulled down. Thoy began at tho bottom just whoro the war found them and where it left them. They had been raised to work and then praotical energy was soon followed by thrift and a genoral recovery of wasted fields and fenceless farms. Those men now constitute in the main the solid men of tho stato and have contributed largely to tho building up of schools and churohos and factories and rail roads. Thoy are modern solf-mado Southerners, a class that forms a strik ing contrast to tho dignity and the ro fioso of the old patriarchs whose beautl ul homes adorned the hills and groves of tho South before the war. But tho children of those old patri archs had to come down some and the children of tho common people came up some, and thoy have mot upon a common plain and are now working happily together both in social and in business life. Spirit and blood have united with onergy and mnsclo, and it makes a splendid team?the best all round team tho South has ovor had. Bill Arp. Extraordinary Mental Gymnas tics.?Tho accounts that have appear* cd In tho daily press of tho extra ordinary porformancos of tho French calculator, Jaquos Inaudi, are in no way exaggerated. In fact, it would bo dim cult to exaggerate this man's extra ordinary powers. Ho seems to possess an unlimited faculty of carrying and manipulating figures in his head, and the faculty is the more extraordinary in that Inaudi is an uneducated man, mho lo oaid not to have learned to write until ho was eighteen or twenty years of age. I witnessed tho exhibition of his powers at tho Hotel Victoria last Wed nesday. His concluding tour do force comprised tho working of a seri?s of sums in addition, subtraction, multi plication, division, and square root. The addition comprised six lines of five figures, tho subtraction two linos of about oighteen figures, and so on, and of the two square roots given him to find, ono was tho root of a number be ginning with 31,000,000. Tho whole mass of figurot; having boon read out to him, Inaudi ropeated them from memory, and then proceeded to work them out, which he did correctly in about six minutes. While so engaged, ho answered questions put to him by porsons in tho room. He mutters fig ures rapidly in an undertone while calol'iting, which seoms to bear out tho theory that his mental procoss Is based upon a memory of tho sound of tho figures rather than a mental picture of their shapes.?London Truth.

Boys, Read and Heed This.?Many people seem to forget that character grows, that it is not something to put on ready mado with womanhood or man hood ; but day by day, here a little and there a little, grows with tho growth and strengthens with the strength, un til good < . bad, it becomes almost a coat of mail. Look at a man of busi ness?prompt, reliable and conscien tious, yet clear headod and energetic. When do you supposo doveloped all thoso admirable qualitiesV When he was a boy ? Let us see how a boy of ten years gets up in the morning, works, plays, studies and wo will tell you just what kind of a man ho will mako. Tho hoy that is too late at broakfast, late at school, stands a poor chance to be a prompt man. The boy who neglects his duties be they ever so small, and excuses himself by saying, "I forgot; I didn't think !" will never bo a reliable, man*, and tho boy who finds pleasure in the sufforing of weak er things will never be a noble, gener ous, kind man?a gentleman.?Chris tian Helper. Poor Girls.?Tho poorost girls in tho world are those who havo nevor been taught to work. There are thous ands of them. Rich parents have pot ted them ; thoy havo boon taught to despise labor, and dopend upon othors for a living, and are porfeotly helpless. If misfortune comoa upon their friends, as it often does, their case is hopeless. Tho most forlorn and miserable women on earth belong to this ehe,. It be longs to parents to protect their daugh ters from this delorable condition. They do them'a groat wrong if thoy neglect it. Every daughter should be taught to earn her own living. The rioh as well as tbo poor requiro this training. The wheel of fortune rolls swiftly around?the rich are vory like ly to become poor, and tho poor rioh. Skill to labor Is no disadvantage to the rioh. and is indispousable to the poor. Well-to-do parents must oduoate their daughters to work ; no reform is more imperative than this. SOUTH CAROLINA POLITICS. The New Liquor Law Problem?Fac tions ami (he Administration. " It 1b Impossible to say what will be practical result of the experiment about to be made in South Carolina with tho hew liquor law," said Con ressroan William H. Brawley of that t?te to a New York Times reporter. " In the City of Charleston tne evil consequences of this new departure are already felt, and they are very serious. The Act was passed without that delib eration and consideration whieh should attend any material changes In the, lawB, and that It may have a fair trial, there will of necessity have to be I several amendments. No changes in the law oan repair some of the damage already done. "Ola-established Arms which have in herited a n>patntion as dealers in good liquors will be driven out of business and will leave the State, I fear. " Whether the State will dorlve a a large revenue from it remains to be seen. Gov. Tillman seems to bo very confident that it will be a great success financially, and I do not doubt that he will do everything in his power to make it a success. He Is a master fu 1 man and will obtain from tho Legis lature such additional legislation as he may think needed to promote tho business. "There is a strong prohibition senti ment In the State, "and It was in defer ence to this the law was passed. "It is a curious episode In the his tory of morals and shows how com-1 pletely one strong will can dominate a j party, that the Prohibitionists, who aim at tho destruction of all trading in lhiuors, who sincerely and sometimes fanatically believe that any drinking of liquor is sinful, should be supporting a measure whioh gives the sanction of the State's name to the tratflc and rather tends to encourage drinking by the promise of an unadulterated artlele at moderate cost. " Prohibition rests upon a princi ple which is well defined, and, how over erroneous you may conceive it to be, vou cannot forbear respecting tho motives of those who conslcontfously bellevo the drinking of liquor to be a sin when they make efforts to prevent the sale vof It. It seems to be an illogical and grotesque perversion of their principles to advocate tho soiling of half-pint drinks in flasks bearing tho seal and coat of arms of the State. " Will the liquor agencies become a part of tho political machine !" " Unquestionably. The dispensers and all the constables and other agonts will naturally be In sympathy with tho administration which appoints thorn, and it will bo a political factor of con siderable influence."! i_i "IsGov. Tillman likely to stand for re-election ?" " I think it highly probable, Indeed almost certain, that no will. Ho can havo tho nomination If ho wants It, and It la not In human naturo to abdi cate absolute powor. Ho dominates his party like a Colossus among pig mies." " Will the conservative party bo likely to nominate a state ticket at tho next election ?" " I think not. All the machinery of elections is In tho hands of the pres ent administration. The old political leaders have lost their bold upon the people, and no groat changes can be effected until new men come to the front. Our pooplo are tired of fac tional strife, and when the fever for ohange abates, as It probably, will in the course of a year or two, und they find out how powerless for good many of tho present leaders are, they will select better men, and I therefore ex pect a gradual change for the better." "Will not tho administration hero help you out ?M " A party cannot be built up on pa tronage alone, and nobody will ask or expect Mr. Cleveland to appoint to public ofllco there men who will use their positions for factional advantage. All wo ask of the administration isthat It shall appoint good Democrats who are in touch with the people and who will Btand up for Democratic princi ples against tho vagaries of tho Poo plo's party. There iB in the State tho nucleus of a party thoroughly In ac cord with Mr. Cleveland. Wo think we are entitled to tho moral support of tho administration and that the Fed oral oflicos should go to men of that typo. Wo do not expect to use them to build up any individual or to put down Gov. Tillman. Any attempt of that kind would bo justly resented by the people, and as a matter of fact Gov. Tillman himself has no sympathy with many of tho so-called 1 demands 'of tho Ocala platform. Making a stand for principles and not for men, we expect that tho Federal oillcials to be appoint ed will not take part in any personal or factional contests. Thoy will stand for Democratic principles and sound finance, and represent the moral senti ment of tho government and of tho country, which utterly condemns the visionary schemes of those who aro en deavoring to mislead tho pooplo for the purpose of securing ofllces for them selves." ?
