Depositors of money in savings banks
should remember that these concerns
could not pay interest unless they in
vest the deposits. If obliged to keep
the currency in their safes to respond
to the depositors' drafts, they would
have to charge q discount for taking
care of the money, instead of being able
to pay six per cent. There are no
stronger institutions than our savings
banks. The funds intrusted to them
are invested in the safest securities, and
while with banks of deposit it is too
frequently the custom to run risk for
high interest, savings banks are content
with small and sure profits.

Every body knows how common q
thing it is to over estimate mems for
tunes, particularly when they get up in
to the large figures. A correspondent,
who processes to have means of know

IAN Is. Astor are now represented at
$lO0, 900, 600 each, albeit il is doubtful
if any one Of them has half as much.
Astor may turn out, with his land and
leases, to be worth $4,000, 900; but
Stewart will not be likely to foot up over
S23,0OO,G0O, and Vanderbilt will be
lucky to leave $50, 600, 900. George Law
enjoys the reputation of having So
0O0, 600, though half that sum would
probably be nearer the fact. Peter
Cooper ought to be put down for 81,
800, 600 instead of S5,O00,00O; Horace
b. Clahin at $1,000, 600 instead of Sl5.-

$1,000, 900 instead of s., 900, 600; Angus

Coldsalways come from one causc-some
part of the body being colder than
natural for a time. If person will
keep his feet warm always, and never
allow himself or herself to be chilled, he
or she will never take cold in lifetime:
and this can only be accomplished by
due care in warm clothing and avoid
ance of draft and exposure. While
muItitudes of colds come from cold
feet, perhaps the majority arise from
cooling off too quickly after becoming a
little warmer than is natural from cxer-
else &C work, or from confinement to a
warm apartment.

BRIULE BiT.S,

Scarcely day passes without the oc-
currence of an accident arising from a
bit breaking while in the horses mouth
There are three ways of making these
bits one is to forge them throughout
of the toughest iron or of soft steel; the
other is to use cast checks and forge
the mouthpieces while the third is to
cast them throughout The first is the
only method that should be followed,
but buyers viii not pay the price asked,
and manufacturers cannot afford to sell
them for less. The wrought mouth
piece is the next best, and if the check
has been properly annealed it makes q
serviceable bit cast checks, however,
are not always reliable, and the manu-
facturcr is as likely to be deceived in
this respect as the buyer. The cast bit
is one that ought never to be used :;
harness makers should inform their
customers of the quality of the article,
and leave the responsibility with the
buyer. If for the sake of the difference
III price between the two kinds, a man
chooses to risk his life by using the
poorer bit neither the harness maker
nor bit manufacturer should be blamed.
The bit and reins should always be of
the strongest kind, no matter what the
merits of the rest of the harness.

THE HANGING OF THE M0DOCS.

THE HANGING OF THE MODOCS.
Fort Klamath, Oregon oct @. Cor. San Francisco
Chroniclc.l
Boston Charley and Black Jim were
led on the scaffold first, and Schonchin
next. They trod on it with apparent in
difference and iron nerve, having evil
IDENTIFY resolved to die as brave as they
had lived. Capt. Jack went easily up
the stairway, but looked wrctched and
miserable. The manaclcs had been
stricken from them, but their arms were
securely pinioned with cords. AT pre-
cisely 9:35 the interpreters, Capt. 0. c.
Applegate aud David Hill, explained to
the culprits the nature of the order to
be read to them by the Adiutant, and at
10 o'clock Adjutant Kingsbury read
the full orders promulgating the
sentence of the Commission and the
Presidents order therein, with the
orders of TIE Secretary of War and the
department commander i'll the premises.
The two reprievcd prisoners, Barncho
and Slotuck, yet stood on the ground in
front Of the scailold, shackled and under
guard. During thercad ng, the pinioncd
victims were seated on the platform OF
the scaffold, with their feet on the drop,
looking anxionsly, but, of course, not
understanding Il word of it. The read
ing occupied ten minutes. Then the
Adjutant read the order of Communication
in the cases of Barncho and Slotuck,
and the poor fellows were taken back to
the stockade, evidently happy at not ac-
companying the others to the happy
hunting grounds" The chaplain then
offered an earnest and fervid prayer for
the souls of the culprits, which was
istened to attentivcly.
At 1915 the fatal nooses were placed
around the necks of the condemned,
under the direction of Capt Hoge. 1t
was necessary to cut off n little of Jack $
long hair, which was in the way of the
rope. Capt. Hoge then bade farewell
to the prisoners, and the black caps
were placed over the heads of all the
culprits. 1t must have been an awful
moment. At 1920 they stood on the
drop. The rope was cut by the assist
ants at signal made by Capt Hoge's
handkerchief. The bodies swung round
and round, Jack and Jim apparently
dying easily, but Boston Charley and
Schonchin suffered terrible commissions.
Bostonand Schonchin drew up theirlegs,
but the two others seemed to die almost
instantly.
AS the drop fell, with terrible deadly
thug, the four poor wretched human
beings fell into eternity, and Il half
mothered cry of horror went up from
the crowd of over 500 Klamath Indians,
who witnessed the awful spectacle.
Walls of deep and bitter anguish went
up from the stockade, where the wives
and children of the poor fellows had a
fair view of the shocking scene
The collins, six in number, had been
placed directly in the rear of the gal
lows, two of them destined to be unoc-
cupied, as the order committing the sen
tence of Barncho and Slotuck only
arrived at 1870 last evening, and prepa-
rations had been made for their execu-
ton likewise.

GLASS BONNETS

Glass bonncts are among the novel
ties of the Vienna Exposition. These
articles come from Bohemia, and speci-
mems have been sent to Paris and Lon
don, and some also to this country, in
the hope that they will become popular,
and be all the fashion " this fall. The
bonnet is described as made of loose
pieces of glass, fastened closely together
by a gutta-percha band, which allows it
to conform to the head. Inside there is
a lining of silk, and the trimmings are
various. Birds and flowers are chiefly
used for ornamentation, colored 50 nat
urally that in appearance they are far
superior to the ordinary artificial goods.

THE IMp0RTANCE or A WORD.

The prosecution of railroad con-
ductor under the Arkansas Civil Rights
law for expelling colored persons from
first class car has resulted III singu-
lar discovery. The statute, by the
omission of the wold 'not," negatives
itself. 1t reads thus: "No person
T. j. shall make any rule or rules
= which shall affect all persons
alike, without regard to race or color"
the penalty for violation of the statute
being a fine of not less than 800 nor
more than $500. BY the omission of
"not" between (which shall' and "af-
feet" it is made incumbent upon rail
roads and other public corporations and
servants to make a distinction on ac-
count of race and color.

There are more Jews in New York
than in Jerusalem, and more than in
any other city in the world, it is said
by those who have studied their present
state. NJ. Mingins says of New York,
"There are more Germans than in Bcr-
lin, more Irishmen than in Dublin,
more Catholics than in Rome, and more
Jews than in Palestine" The census
does not give religious statistics, but
the number of processing Jews resi-
dents of this city has been approx
mately estimated by the quantity of
Passover biscuits manufactured for
their use. The bakeries produced on
the average for the last decade, 800, ,000
pounds yearly, which, at the rate of
one pound pound per day for each adult
during the eight days generally oh,
served, would make number of 100, ,00C
persons. They have an orphan asylum
to accommodate $50 orpans, a hospital
and number of charitable societies,
among which is the independent Ordel
b mai Berth, and have also established
within the last few years home fol

now TO AVON 4 COLD.

This is the season of the year when
colds most do prevail, and the following
interesting item on the subject is given
for the benefit of those who desire to
avoid catching cold. We tind it floating
around without credit Ii cold settles
on the outer coverings of the lungs it
becomes pneumonia, inflammation of
the lungs, or lung fever, and in many
cases carries the strongest man to the
grave within Il week. If cold falls upon
the inner covering of the lungs, it is
pleurisy with its knife-like pains, and
its slow, very slow rccovcries. If IL
cold settles in the joints, there is rheu-
matism, with the agonies of pain, and
rheumatism of the heart, which in an
instant snaps asunder the cords of life
with no friendly warming. 1t is of the
utmost practical Importance, then, in
the wintry weather, to know not so
much how to cure cold as to avoid it.
