INOT AN ECONOMICAL PEOPLE
Amegicans Do Not Seem to Attach Very Great Importance to Sav- | Ing the Pennies.
} -Of all the nations the United States seems to care least for saving pennies. rNot the government, but the individ: |ual. Measured by the number of savings bank depositors in proportion to the entire population, this country ‘lB far behind those of Europe, Japan, ‘Australia and New Zealand. : ! One reason for this is that in theg ' southern and western states the numy ber of savings banks is relatively few, ~because the small banks serve thg same purpose in those sections. Therq are approximately 11,000,000 savingg depositors in the United States and .almost three-fourths of this number _are in the six New England states, and in New York, New Jersey, Pennsyl vania, Delaware and Maryland. - In making a comparison with other countries in this matter the government postal banks introduced a few years ago should be included. They are included abroad and therefore should be here if an accurate idea of ‘the’ thriftiness of the various nations 'is to be given. ¢ We are prpodigals compared with Europeans, and while there is perhaps not the same pressing necessity here to count the pennies, it is undoubtedly true that Americans are too strongly inclined to be spendthrifts, to let the forrow take care of itself. From the experience of hard times occasioned by the war we may learn that laying something aside for a rainy day is not only a virtue, but a practice .Which makes old age and nonemployment less terrible to think of. The! trouble is Americans do not think of it, but they should.—Brooklyn Stand-‘ ard-Union.
WHY CHILDREN SEEK GIFTS
As Instinctive for Them to Ask as It Is, or Should Be, for the . Adult to Give.
In the Woman’s Home Companion Charles E. Jefferson, pastor of Broads ~way tabernacle in New York city, writes a talk entitled “The Joy of Receiving,” in the course of which he explains why little children enjoy receiving more than giving. He says in “part: 5 “In little children, the joy of receiving outruns the joy of giving. Children are born beggars. They come into the world empty-handed, and they ‘stretch their hand to those who are nearest them, expecting to receive. It is instinctive for a child to ask, and it is instinctive for an adult to re‘spond. The child’s mind is as empty ‘as its bhands. Its mind reaches out \with questions—and what are quesitions but hands of the mind?—pleadling for bits of information, scraps of lknowledge, donations of light. It is a ‘pleasure to give to a child, but who %would dare say that one’s pleasure in |giving outstrips the child’s pleasure in ireceiving? Who is happier, do you ithink, at Christmas, the child or the ‘parent? ; (" “It is not the child’s nature to lie lawake wondering what it can give to 'others, but when he falls to thinking iof what others are going to give him it is diffieult for him to go to sleep! Look at a child recelving a present, and then look at him giving one, and mote which act is more natural and which brings the intenser delight.' Little children know how to receive.”
The LKerary Future.
What will be the effect of almost, worldwide war upon the world’y writers? 'No one -can escape its psychological effect—the first stun: ning sense of the futility of one’s.ordinary labors and habits of thought, a, profound unsettling of one’s mental base. But afterward? Perhaps, as a reaction against the literature of the war, we shall have a flood of light comedy of the gayest sort. Serious writers, finding their usual -material Btale and unprofitable, will turn to making mad farce. With the world going to pieces about one, what can one do but laugh?. We must laugh, in spite of ourselves, at the spectaclq of Anatole France, in uniform, editing the Soldiers’ Bulletin! And no one of course will take seriously Georgae Bernard Shaw’s advice to the soldiers of the opposing armies, to “shbot their officers and go home!” Shaw is the only literary man to raise a voice against patriotism—but then of course he is an Irishman. People®are used to saying: “Shaw isn’t serious!”— Neith Boyce .in Harper’s Weekly. .
The Servian Drum.
. It seems that the men who play the big drums in the Servian army bands have an easier lot than the drummers .of other lands, since they do not have ‘to carry their own drums. . In nearly all cases, instead of being shung in front of the man who plays it, { the instrument is put on a small two‘wheeled cart drawn by a large dog. Of ‘course, the drummer must play as he { marches, but the dog is so well trained { that there is no difficulty in doing ‘this. @ | The animal keeps his place even ¢ .through the longest marches, and the '‘drummer walks behind the cart, per'forming on his instrument as he goes ‘along. Hach regiment is provided with } two or three big drums, but few regi- | ;ments have a band. _ Was Quite Willing. || ‘GirPs Father—l want you-to under- | 'stand, however, that I consent to your i marn”rg;ge only under protest. - - || Sultor—Oh, that's all right, if you {/will let none of the demands I may | make on you afterward go {o protest.

; In excellent health in spite of her ladvanced years, Mrs. Samuel Sipe, Fumberland county’s oldest resident, personal friend of Molly Pitcher, the geroine of Monmouth, has just celes ‘brated her one hundred and second birthday, according to a Carbondale (Pa.) dispatch to the New York Tribune. : ' Her health is good; and although she is unable to walk she can hear clearly and her mind is a marvel for clever mness and recollection. Mrs. Sipe was s})om in Switzerland, October 5, 1812, and came with her parents when only six years of age to this country. The trip was made in a sailing vessel and the voyage consumed 16 weeks. Sha lived in Philadelphia for a time and came to Carlisle 95 years ago. She remembers the old stage coaches that made this a stopping point on the road to Pittsburgh, and also the rumming of the first train on the Cumber land Valley, July 4, 1857. - : Her stories of Molly Pitcher, with 'whom she was persénally familiar, contain many unique incidents in the hife of this peculiar heroine.
