TIME AT WHICH MONEY DOUBLES AT INTEREST. 
Money invested at 5 per cent. simple interest will double itself in 20 
8. Thus, if a man puts by 2s. per week, at the end of the year he has 
aa £5 4s. The interest on this amounts to a little over 5s. 2d., so that at 
end of 20 years at 5 per cent. simple interest he will have £10 8s. 
oney invested at 5 per cent. compound interest doubles itself in 14: 
es 75 days, and at 10 per cent. in 7 years 100 days. ‘The above is 
‘wth noting, because 3 per. cent. compound interest is paid at the Government 
«igs Bank, and £5 4s. a year paid in for 233 years will be doubled in that 
ay Now, how many of us squander a good deal more than £5 a year on 
at are really needless luxuries. The man who smokes regularly, and at the 
1 i of the day’s work has a glass or two of ale or spirits, spends a t uncon- 
; noel from 2s. 6d. to 3s. 3d. a week, or from £6 10s. to AE. péeinan m 
18 capital, besides losing the annual interest. :

ae Insect powder, and one-half part of saltpetre; add sufficient water to 
rn i 4 stiff paste. Roll into pasteles and dry them. One will burn for some
