"Cold Stove.'
Prof. Wilham 1M. Wptts of Stnil
Pond has a novelty in the form of a
cold stove. The stove is for use in
the heated months of summer for
reduc no temperature, just as stoves
heated .by file are used to raise the I
te,.peimtue
in winter. Ev the use
of ~ll a smnll quantity of ice and a
patented chemical the most intense
degree of cold is secured So oreat

touch this cold stove when im operatio'

tp~mnthey had it. Give them a fortune
and they would not keep it one 5 ear.
There are many, veiy many poor
persons who strive to succeed, but
fail from a lack of abiltv, probably
from other circumstances over which
they have no control.
About one-fourth of the common
laborers will not work as long as they
have a dollar in their pockets, and
many of them will not work at all
until their empty stomachs warn
them of approaching starvation. As
a rule, these are the men who talk
about bondholders, monopolists hard
times, etc.
Poverty and profligacy go hand
in hand, as a rule.
Nine-tenths of the homeless men
could have had homes, had the\
saved their money.
It is not neees-arly a dis-race to
ie poor, nanv of the greatest men
of the o01 Id haxc been poor, th ...
did not have time to get rich.
Bear in mind the fact t' , ,ouL
duty to youiself ,nd to 3)our family
..ould compel you to save a !Cttlc
:nooev for a rainy day.
