Rsay-The New York Times in an article on
the panic at least shows that the ,alored
people of the South are learning to save
money. We clip the following from that
paper
"Now, however, the money goes direct to
the black labOrcr, who il not in debt, and
hoard. grcenbacks for the future purchase of
land. The proceeds from his cotton does not
even find their way into the savings banks to
a large degree. \ good proportion Of cur
rency sent South is fairly kept out of cirrula-
ton. Al this IS healthfu, and SIGN OF
prosperity, and If national wCll-being. But
it inevitably adds to the stringency Of money
in the financial centres. soon, as Mr.. Will
liams stated, two hundred millions Will be
needed to move the crop of this year, which
will undoubtedly be some four million bales.
y portion Of this large expenditure again will
be swallowed up by the southern population,
and will not return Immediately into CirCula-
ton. The South IS 10 the Union somewhat
what India is TO the British Empire it alb

hoard greenbaCEs rs the IIindOO or the
Chinaman boards silver. Who can say how
much Of the currency of the United states
lies hid now throughout the Southern COM
munities? 1t would not he an exaggerated
estimate 10 say that forty or iilty millions OF
grcenhacks thus lay boarded ia the nero
cabins Of the South.

At first sight, the ipongruity between

the less true that one w's born of the 9TH

The connection of bast with drinking
is, therefore, one Of ancent standing but
it was not until the beinning Of the last
century that the worldmade its first step
towards its present meaning; for in 1909
the ''Tatler' speaks Of as a new name

the same authority, the new form of gal

TranspIanting Large Trees.


The transplantlng of large trees of
from ten to eighteen inches in dame
ter of stem, is practiced as a regular
branch OF business in our larger cities.
One operator near Chicago has nearly a
score of teams engaged during the
winter season in this work The
trees are carefully dug around, LEAVING
a trench encircling the ball OF earth
attached to the tree, which when fro
zen solid, is undermined and plaeed
upon strong wagons built especially
for this purpose, and transported
wherever necessary, the whole mass
OF n weighing several tons the price
being sometimes as high as one hun
dred dollars for single tree. In this
connection we may note the removal
of an immsuse beech tree as mention-
ed by a foreign journal -
1t is nearly fifty feet high, the diam
eter of the branches fifty eight fee,
and the circumference of the stem a,
about a foot from the ground. seven
feet eight inches. The nlass OF soil
and undisturbed roots extending
sixteen by fourteen feet, the roots
extending six feet beyond, and the
whole weighing considerably ovel
twenty tons. There was a ilat

Fowls for the Family

What greater folly than to give
away the ma: erial and then be COM
PEELED to buy the manufactured article
at the highest price? Yet this is one
of the commonest instances of The
want Of economy. Many and many
a family, particularly of the smaller
cities, throw all the scraps from the
table into a swill barrel, for the benefit
of some lucky Celt, and then pay an
extravagant price for small and stale
eggs. The sensible plan is to keep a
few fowls, and give your scraps to
these, thus turning your refuse into
money. Fowls can be kept in this
way at little or no cost, supplying the
family with their breakfast eggs, and
giving their keepers a delightful oc.
cupatiOn. For there is great satisfac
tion in caring fox a thrifty flock OF
handsome fowls, not merely for the
grown folks, but also for the children
who will enter into the pursuit with
the greatest zeal, and delight in
watching all the various processes OF
the hen hOuse-the laying, the sitting,
the growth of the little chickens, and
the ever interesting occupation of
gathering the pearly, fresh laid eggs.

RELATIVE WEIGHTS OF sexes.

Somebody who has been "studying
our weights" reports thai, upon the
average, boys, at birth, weigh little
more and girls little less than SIX
pounds and a half For the trst
twelve years the two sexes continue
nearly equsl in weight, but beyond
that time males acquire decided
preponderance. Thus, young men
Of twenty average one hundred and
forty three pounds each, while young
women of twenty average one hun
dred and twenty pounds. Men reach
their heaviest bulk at about thirty
five, when their average is about one
hundred and fifty-two pounds; but
women slowly increase in weight un
til fifty, when their average is about
one hundred and twenty nine pounds
Taking men ard women together,
their weight, at full growth, averages
about twenty times as heavy as they
were on the first day of their exist
ence. Men range from one hundred
and eighty to two hundred and twen-
ty pounds (the Tichborne claimant
weighs about :hree hundred and six
ty pounds) and women from eighty
eight to two hundred and seven
pounds. The sctusl weight OF hu-
msn nature, taking the average OF all
ages and eonditions-nobles, clergy,
tinkers, tailors, maidens, boys, girls
and babies, all included-is very
nearly one hundred pounds. These
figures are given in svoirdupois
weight; but the advocates Of the su-
periority Of women might make
nice point by introducing the rule
that women be weighed by Troy
weight--like other jewels--snd men
by avoirdupois. The figures would
then stand-young men of twenty
one hundred and forty-three pounds
each young women of twenty. one
hundred and sixty pounds, snd 80

Examine the Bees.

Allow no time TO pass before you ex'
anime and know the exact condition
of your bees. A few minutes labor
and very little expense may save you
many valuable swarms, that have not
sufficient amount of honey to carry
them through, and unless ted must
perish. AT this time of the year the
queens are, or should be, laying quite
freely, and therefore need considera-
BILE honey to carry on their breeding
1t you have not honey, make syrup
of No. 1 coffee sugar; to five pounds,
sugar, sdd two quarts OF water, place
In kettle over the fire, and bring to

1t Is lit for use. Take almost any low,
fat cup or tumbler, fill with syrup, tie
a thick cloth over the mouth of the
cup, see that the syrup does not
come through 50 fast but what the
bees can take 1t up. Bees can be led
in this way in any hive, by placing the
cup directly over the swarm.
Should the swarm need feedino
much, and they be few in numbers,
tthey should be removed to a moder-
lately warm room. It is best to feed
Ithesesmall swsrms and save the queens

Curious THEORY ABOUT DEFAL'
CATIONS.

The Boston Herald advances a cur
ions theory about defslcations, being
nothinp less than they are, IN the
majority OF instances, the result OF
the lack of vacations on the part of
The men who are involved 10 them
In support Of this thoory, the Herald
declares that it cannot recall a single
instance of deialcation in any hank
or office in Boston, durirg the last
twenty FIVE yesrs, where the defsulter
was not prompt in the morning. dill
igent duriug the day, and anxious to
work over time, and often evenings,
and even on the Sabbath, never ac-
cepting the usual vacation allowed
dnring the summer months. Further
more, il is OF opinion that there has
not been bank defalcation in Bos-
ton that could be possibly covered up
for s longer time than forty eight
hours without the presence OF the de-
faulter and his pen, and it thinks that
the absence Of the hook-keeper and
the paying and receiving tellers Of 8
bank one or two days in q quarter
would be q greater safeguard to de-
positors and stockholders than 8
double board Of modern directors.
The ides that these models OF -regu
larity are really very dangerous set
OF men will doubtless strike some
people rather queerIy; but We fsney
a good many business men VIII oe
