Have You Learned to Save?

“It ‘is to be hoped that every person who can do so will exchange War Savings Stamps, soon to fall due, for Treasury savings certificates” said Postmaster = Milner. “The larg> amount of money invested and the great number of persons who purchased war savings stamps showed that the people of this country could save money money when the necessity arose. Now, if they will take the money they saved when they bought stamps to aid the government in the prosecution of the war and buy Treasury savings certificates, they. will demonstrate that the thrift lessons of the war have not been without effect. The holders of war savings stamps have seen investments of about $20.50 grow to $25 in five years, and larger amounts in the same proportion. They can see the same thing repeated if they reinvest in- Treasury saving certificates. Interest accimulates at the rate of 4 per cent each year, compounded semi-annually. These savings certificicates are exempt from the normal Federal income tax, and from all State and local taxation (except estate and inheritance taxes) and may be held to the amourt of $5,000 maturity value for each is~ sue, by every member of a family. They are backed by the credit of the United States Government, and afford an easy and sure method of saving.”

INN HAS HISTORIC INTEREST Hostelry on Long lsland Sound a - Place of Entertainment for . ~ Hundreds of Years. One of the oldest and most distinguished hostelries in the United States is the Canoe Place inn, between Shinnecock and Peconic bay, on Long Island sound. The charter of this fine, old, rambling, red-brick structure was signed by Queen Anne, but the inn was doing a thriving business years previous to this. An interesting figure is the venerable figurehead of the frigate Ohio, which, after an honorable service, was displaced by the ironclad and finally broken up in the waters which was the cove., One of the most massive of existing figureheads, it was carved in Greece and presented, with much ceremony, to this government. It shows Hercules in impressive pose and was warranted by the Greek donors to possess magic gifts. One of the most valuable sets of registers to be found in this country is to be examined in Canoe Place inn. Its famous autographs begin in 1659 with the mark of Wyandach, grand sachem of the Montauks, and include famous colonial governors, Manhattan, Dutch, Swedish and English, for two hundred years. 'The inn fell into the hands of the British authorities during the Revolutionary war and provided for the officers under Lord Howe and Sir Henry Clinton—as close an approach to a club as existed in those days in this part of the world. : WORK THAT IS IMMORTAL Gibbon’s “Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire” Long Acknowledged , as Masterpiece. The “Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire” was written by Edward Gibbon (1737-1794); it is universally acknowledged to be one of the greatest masterpieces of historical composition. The first volume was published in 1776, and had an immediate success. The second and third volumes appeared in 1781, and the final publication of the entire work in six volumes took place in 1788. The author’s uncompromising hostility to Christianity, however, gave great offense to many readers, and was oceasion of several attacks by English divines. Allison, the historian, declared the “Decline and Fall” to be the greatest historical work. in existence. Gibbon’s profit from J(I)lé! sale of his work was £6,000 ($3O, normal exchange), that of his publisher, £60,000 ($300,000). The author says: *“lt was at Rome,. on the fifteenth day of October, 1764, as I sat musing amidst the ruins of the capitol, while the barefooted friara were singing vespers In the temple of Jupiter, that the idea of writing the decline and fall of the city started to my mind.” o , '

Imagination often works as an ally of mosquitoes in causing sleeplessness in summer, When the weary sleeper has tossed about the bed and exhausted himself slapping at the winged tormentor he pulls the sheet over his head and tries again for slumber. The pest may. have fled, but in a moment the buzzing sound is heard again. Half unconscious in sleep the vietim holds his breath waiting for the mosquito to alight. The buzzing seems far off, but slowly gets nearer and nearer. Now fully awake he frees his arm from the entangling sheet and prepares to strike, Still the buzzing seems at a distance. He lies awake, every nerve tense, determined to make an end of his foe when it gets near enough. : ' Still the buzzing goes on. The victim sits up in bed the better to locate its source. Then all of a sudden the clang of a bell proves that he had been listening te the hum of a street car. He turns over and walits for the real mosquito’s return. |

Strange and weird as the adult hoatzin may be it is the young birds that really amaze us. For both thumb and forefinger are armed with sharp, recurved claws, better developed than in any other known bird, and, what is more important, they are entirely functional. Willlam Beebe, director of the Tropical Research station in BritIsk> Guiana, has done more than any other sclentist to reveal the secrets of the hoatzin. He has found that this remarkable youngster uses its wing claws to haul itself about the ‘rough nest in which it i 8 hatched, and also to help in climbing about among the branches. Mr. Beebe has also described ' the strange ability of the naked fledgling to swim under water.

Football With a Golden Text.

. Little Barl, aged three, lived near a certain college campus, and he was much excited last fall over the football games. One day he placede a football that had been given him between his sturdy legs and leaned over it ‘as he had seen the center do. Then for a moment he was stumped. He knew that the players called out something before the ball was put ' into play, but he had no idea what it was, All he could think of was his Sunday school text; so he called out, “Be ye kind -to one another—go!” and gave the ball a vigorous punch.—Youth’s Companion, Lo P
