Norwich, Thursday, Fel FOR THE PROMOTION OF THRIFT Economy and thrift are worthy the attention of the working classes, and habits of prudence are readily acquired Dy them when they are helped to know how to put extravagance down and to become independent through lberation from debt, Along these lines it is pointed out that one large manufacturing concern of Boston has Just completed an Interesting experi- ment to see what It could do in a emall way to inculcate habits of thrift. It had been its custom to make a small money gift to each employe at the close of the year. On inquiry it devéloped that the money was almost fnvariably spent about as soon as it was recelved. The percentage of it which was retained to be of perma- nent benefit or for emergency use proved trifiing. Accordingly this year the president of a local savings bank ~vas asked to tell the efnployes, about 10 be benefited by the firm's annual gift, something of the effects of time on steady small savings, as disclosed by compound interest returns. The an- nual gifts were then distributed in as many banhkbooks. \ At the institution & quiet record was Kept of these new- ly issued books, Less than fen T ceng. of the acoounts were withdrawn, swhile to thirty-two per cent. of them additionals deposits have -since been mad What {s needed to put workers up- on a better footing is a little help and instruction In the way of getting to e forehanded.

The Ansonia Sentinel thinks the time is at hand when the public sehools ghould teach typewriting as well as writing by hand. This may be regarded as a twentieth century advance in popular accomplishments. | ‘The Sentine] says. “It 1s highly desirable that a proper eystem of penmanship be taught in our public schools. But nowadays it is almost as desirable that the aver- @g¢ boy or girl be taught the use of the typewriter as of the pen. In busi- ness offices, one is as necessary as the other, “Moreover, when the typewriter used, it matters not whether on bandwriting 1s Spencerian, upright, raedfum-siant or back-hand, nor does it matter whether he uses the muscu- lar, or the finger, or the full arm movement; the machine does the busi- ness, quickly, legtbly and neatly, and the man who cannot manipulate one 1s at a disadvantage both In business is magters and in conducting private «correspondence.” All of this is true. The equipment of the higher grades of public schools calld for typewriters today. The cost of it is the one obstacle, but dumm: keyboards for one class would ¢ complish the work. The expense would | T and practice upon the keyboard is a that is necessary. 'ypewriting con- cerns ought to be interested in such an enterprise. NOT A TAX DODGER. The Providence Tribune covered one man in that cit, & tax on more than a million and whom it refers to as “the solitary milllonaire of the city of Providence." This man s Robert Knight, has dis- who pays flourished as & manufacturer &nd gho, | although he hegan life poor, fs al the head of mills which pay a tax four millions in different parts Rhode Island, Commenting upon the large tax he Pays, The Tribune says: on ‘Mr. Knight is taxed on a real es- | tate valuation of $604,280 and a per- sonel property assessment of $502,300, & total of $1,106,580, on which his tax last year amounted to $18,288. “But the peruser of the tax book h curiosity piqued and he s prompted to inquire: ‘How do the assessors know that Mr. Knight is the owner of more than a half-million dol- lars of what in the case of other men supposed to be very rich, from the viewpoint of the assessors, is a most elusive form of wealth? “It may be, perhaps, that the wealth of & man who has made it all by his own efforts within a single lifetime is meore easily found than s the wealth which comes by Inheritance and entafled and hidden in the ands of trustees or tled up in mysterious unit- - #d and other funds. “Or perhaps Mr. Knight has nev: threatened i he was assessed o o unduly largs amount of perso erty to betake himself and his P property to some nearby , In many of which, by the way, he has large Interests and where the tax rate 8 low and the tax assessors complals- ant and obliging. “Mr. ight headed the list of con- tributo: to the republican national campalgn fund with $2500. “But he contributed more than sev- on times as much In taxes to the treasury of the city of his residence and he is entitled to the credit of act- Itn"l; n: though he believed one’s con- ributions, like charity, ftion, ¥, should begin “Tnis milllonaire citizen, through the great manufacturing firm of which he s the head and practically the sole owner since the death of his elder brother a number of years ags, pays taxes on more than $4,000,000 worth of mills and machinery In this state. “In Warwick alone he and his firm are assessed on a valuation of $3,565,- 00. The mills of the firm In W, st- erly, this city, Cranston and Woon- socket aggregate an assessed valua- tion of more than a half-million dol- rars_additional.” ‘While Robert Knight is the only Msted millionaire in Providence and appears to be entitled to this solitary distinction, The Tribune declares that there are other m!llionalres there who do not think it is necessary that they should reveal their personal holdings or their duty to pay taxes upon them. Under such conditions doesn't an attempt at equalizing taxes Jook farcical. Let the first endeavor be to equalize honesty.

A Good Polish. All outlay of energy required in polishing furniture after the fall cleaning is well repald in the appre- clation shown by every member of the family. A well-tested polish is made of one part benzine, one part linseed ofl and two parts turpentine. Use two cloths, one to rub on the liquid and the other for polishing. To Patch Wallpaper. When patching wallpaper don't for- get to preface operations by putting the new piece of paper in the sunshine to fade till it matches that on the wall. Don’t cut the patch in a neat square, but tear it. The irregularity of its edge will make it less conspicuous. Brush for Bathtub. A ten-cent, small sized scrubbing brush Is the nicest thing to use when washing out a bathtub. It appeals to the men of the house- hold as a very sensible way of arrang- ing for a rather dreaded duty. Protection for Silver.
