standing circulation, which circulation ls TO
be replaced by an equal amount to be issued
to the new association. It is thought propa-
BILE that the bill will pass; although IL Is
suggested that such law would enable the
National banks to form huge banking con-
ceru, similar to the old United States Bank,
which would overshadow and crush out all
smaller institutions The safe way out OF
these troubles and dangers lies In the pas
sage OF free banking law.

and brushed it off, and mopped his brow with

on Palestine, when more wind came in and
another invoice of documents sailed inward.
and spread outwards, and again he sprang up
and darted after them, dancing up and down
and throwing his arms, and shouting locali-
ties that are not on our Palestine map. Then
he turned over the chair and kicked it, and
dashed his hat on the floor and jumped into
it, and screamed such awful things about the
weather, and made such astounding state
ments about what he would do if he could,
that we felt compelled to have the agent for
DIR. Whimplebee's "Observations in Pales-
tine" led down sstairs into the street. We
haven't seen him since, but we understand
that he was seen under the influence of
liquor late that night, and having exchanged
the Observations in Palestine for pint of
Jamaica rum is consigning the eminent
Whimplebee beyond the annoyance of
breezes. Had we not furnished him with
accommodations as he desired, we might
have felt in some way responsible for this
descent, and it would have made us uncom-

Modern Dress.

Are We more civilized In our dress than III
our dwellings? Not whit. Our guide and
ruler here is that irresponsible tyrant We call
fashion, and neither comfort nor beauty has
word to say To be sure, men have discard
ed many absurdities, though they have re-
tanned more. They hold TO their stiff shirt
collars, which rasp their necks their wide ex-
panse of linen front, which the very act of
fastening rumples; their meaningless swallow
tails, their hdeous hats, their tight-fitting
military uniform, and all the mysteries OF
seam and gusset and band, which are mere
symbols OF the art of cutting out, and not nee
essary to the comfort of shape. But even with
the follies they retain they can move about
with ease and unhampered. Women, on the
contrary, torture themselves in the name Of
fashion with touching fidelity. They would
as soon forego their nationality as their stays,
and the thirty-nine articles are less sacred to
them than their multiplicity of garments all
hanging ffom the waist. 1t is to keep these
up, and lessen their heavy weight, that they
put themselves into steel cages, which destroy
all grace of line and all comfort of movement,
save in walking. The beauty of simplicity is
a thing dead and done with In their code,
Heads are loaded with false hair stuck about
with lace, feathers, flowers, and colored glass;
ears are pierced that bits of crystallized earth,
or limitations thereof, may be hung into the
holes health is destroy ed, and tue tender vi
tai organs which nature has so sedulously pro-
tectedby the outer casing Of ribs are compress
edand crushed that the waistband may be re-
duced to seventeen inches; and the highest
efforts of millinery genius are directed to the
most elaborate method of sewing one bit of
stnff, on to another bit of stuff, to the confu-
sion of anything like a leading line or an in
telHgible idea. We laugh at the Chinese
''golden water-llies,' the Papuan head-dress,
the Hindoo nose-ring, the African lip-dis-
tender; we laugh while we look in the glass
and complacently brush out our frills, and
congratulate ourselves on looking stylish" I"
and "well got up." But our highest efforts
eliminate in partial nakedness in the middle
of winter If we are women, in black broad
cloth in the dosdays if we are men-in ao-
surd lengths of silk trailing after us as We
walk in the one case, in a ridiculous pennon
meandering at our backs in the other; they
eliminate in fashion, not in ilse or beauty or
simplicity: but while we do thus dress with
out personal convenience of artistic meaning,
we have no true civilization in the matter of
onr clothes. Modern millinery is neither art
nor nature. 1t is our translation of the prim-
tive mans delight in rags and gaudy colors,
and there is no essential difference between
the two. What difference there is consists
simply in conventional acceptance; but the
aesthetic base OF each is the same.-Ihe Corn
hill Magazine.

A respectable IoadOn-paper says; People
talk much Of Peculation in the United States,
but our firm conviction Is that the loss IN

service system Of America entails" Those
