WHAT FIVE CENTS A DAY WILL DO. 
The cumulative power of money is a fact very 
generally known, but not generally appreciated. 
There are few men living at the age of 65, hang¬ 
ing on to existence by some slender employment, 
or pensioners, it may be, on the bounty of kin¬ 
dred or friends, but might, by exercising the 
smallest particle of thrift, rigidly adhered to in 
the past have set aside a respectable sum which 
would materially help them to maintain their 
independence in their old age. Let us take the 
small and insignificant sum of five cents, which 
we daily pay to have our boots blacked, to ride 
in a car the distance we are able to walk, or to 
procure a bad cigar we are better without, and 
see what its value is in the course of years. vVe 
will suppose a boy of 15, by blacking his own 
boots, or saving his car fare, or going without 
his cherished cigarette, put by five cents a day; 
in one year he saves $18.25, which being banked 
bears interest at the rate of 5 per cent, per 
annum, compounded bi-yearly. On this basis, 
when our thrifty youth reaches the age of 65, 
having set his 5 cents per day religiously aside 
during fifty years, the result is surprising. He 
has accumulated no less a sum than $3893.17. 
A scrutiny of the progress of this result is in¬ 
teresting. At the age of 30 our hero had $395; 
at 40, $877; at 50, $1667; at 60, $2962. After 
fifteen years saving his annual interest more 
than equals his original principal; in twenty- 
five years it is more than double; in thirty-five 
years it is four times as much; in forty-five years 
it is eight times as much, and the last year's in¬ 
terest is $186, or ten and a half times as much as 
the annual amount he puts by. The actual cash 
amount saved in fifty years is $912.50, the diff¬ 
erence between that and the grand total of 
$3863.17, viz.: $2980.67, is accumulated interest. 
What a magnificent premium for the minimum 
of thrift that can be well represented in figures. 
It is hardly worth while to undertake to 
make pansies flower in the heat of Summer, un¬ 
less one has an exceptionally good place for 
them. They do best in Fall and Spring. 
A gardener recommends tying newspapers 
about celery to bleach it. He finds that in this 
manner he can Pleach celery better, easier and 
cheaper than by earthing up. 
Look out for Moths. As the hot weather 
approaches, more care and attention will be re¬ 
quired to keep robes, furs, and woolen goods 
from destruction by moths. If not already at¬ 
tended to, give furs a good airing and tie them 
tightly in paper bags. Woolen carpets, robes 
and articles too large to protect in above man¬ 
ner should receive a liberal sprinkling of Dal¬ 
matian Powder. No moth will corrupt where 
this is used.
