Morse on Banks and Banking, p. S6. "Ihe
persons outside of the corporation can be
affected are only such as relate to its deal
ings with such outsiders" Ib. p. 36. "They
are only for the convenience of the bank.
Even if they are known to its customers.
in which alone the customers can be sup
posed to be interested; they are the internal
arrangements, with which the customer
has nothing whatsoever to do. whether he
knows them or not, and whether he ap-
proves them or not" Id. III This prlncl.
pie, think, applies here. Usage can not
be shown to absolve bank from positive
and essential duty. "What it undertakes

to tho depositor, has it done so The State
National Bank was fully aware that the
New Orleans Banking Association had
failed, and that q writ OF injunction had
been issued to prevent it FROM exchanging
the worthless check OF the said banking
association. 1t is true il had not been
formally served with notice, but enough
had been done to answer every practical
purpose, had the defendant seen proper to
abide it, The failure Of the New Orleans
Banking Association was known before the
check had been exchanged, and the agency
to collect had terminated. This fact, taken
in connection with the notice which the de-
PENDANT had of the issuance of the writ OF
Injunction. should have prevented the ex-

The Fate of Old Women Among the
Colorado River Inoians.

The life of an Indian maiden is blithe
and merry for few years, but wheh
she becomes wife she is soon broken
down with the pains OF motherhood and
the heavy laborI which fall to her lot,
and she soon becomes wrinkled, garru'
Ious, cross, scolding, in fact an old hag.
OF course such hags are not pleasant
company i'll camp, and III the bellei OF
the Numa such old hags grow ugller
and meaner until they dry up and
whirlwinds carry them away, when they
are transformed into witches aud 4esl-
such fate should bcfaIl old women,
they are taught that it is their duty to
die when they are no longer needed,
and if they do not die by natural means
in reasonable time, they must commit
suicide. This they seem very willing to
do rather than TO meet that terrible tate
of being transformed into witches and
being compelled to live in snake skins,
and wrigglo about among the rocks,
their only delight being to repeat the
words of uasscrs by in mOckery. once
saw three old women thus voluntarily
starving themselves. / rodeup to what
wa, almost deserted camp, the three
old women only remaining, sitting by
the fire and intentIy gazing into the
embers. They seemed to heed not my
approach, but sat there nnmbllng ana
groauing until they rose, each dragging
up her weight with staff, and then
they joined in sidewise, shnflling, tot
teripg, seniie dance around the fire,
propped up by their stafls, and singing
a dolefnl song. Having finished which,
they sat again on their heels and gazed
into the fire, and rode away. On com
ing to the new camp OF the tribe the
next day, and inquiring of Chui-at-au-
um-peak, their chief, why these women
we're left behind and what they we're
doing, 1 was informed they had deter,
mined to commit suicide, fearing lest
they should be transformed into witches.

Thin Out the Fruit.

IL this important matter has not al
ready been attended to, it should be
done without delay. There is no ex-
cellence without labor and care, and
this is particularly true of fruit grow
ing. Daily vigilance is indispensably
requisite in order to insure success.
In horticulture, sound judgment is re-
vuired, and nerve sufficient to execute
it's commands. When the time arrives
for thinning out fruit, it must be done.
We know that excessive produc ion is
always at the expense of both quantity
and quality, and often results in serl-
ously impairing the vitality OF the tree.
We agree with Mr.. Mehan, that lone
half the trees which bear fruit every
year would be benefited by one half
of the fruit taken off as soon as 1t Is
we'll set and the overbearing of tree
will in few years destroy it"
But it requires courage to thin out
fruit as it should be. As rule, the
fruit should be thinned ont so that,
when fully grown, they will not touch
each other. Indeed. it would be still
better to thin out peaches so that the
distance between them should be from
two to four inches. In the latter case
the result will be that what fruit is al.
lowed to remain on will be Of large size,
and usually of fine color, AID will com
mand ready sale in market at higl
and remuneratiye figures. In no in
stance IS fruit so good when the tree o

The Bamboo Tree.

Probably this tree subseryes more
Of usefulness than any other
in the whole range Of nature. The In
dian obtains from it a part of his food,
many of his household utensils, and n
wood at once lighter and capable Of
bearing greater strains than heavier
timber of the same size. Besides, in
expeditions in the tropics under the
rays of Il vertical sun, bamboo trunks
have more than once been used as bar
rels, in which water much purer than
could be preserved i'll vessels of any
other kind, is fresh for the crew. On
the western coast of Southern Asia,
the bamboo furnishes all the materials
for the construction of houses, at once
pleasant substantial and preferable to
stone, which the frequently recurring
earthuuakes bring down upon the heads
of the owners. The fact that the BAN
boo is hollow has made it eminently
useful for variety Of purDoses-it
serves as measure for liquids, and If

ening them with strips OF other wood
where needed. In one dav they OBJ
tain the height of several feet, and with
the aid OF microscope their develop
ment can be easily watched. But the
most remarkable feature about the BAN
boo is their blossoming. With all this
rapidity of growth they bloom only twice
in n century, the flower appearing at the
end of fifty years. Like other grasses,
they die after having borne seed. The
highest of the bamboo is the Sammot.
In tracts where it grows in the greatest
perfection, it sometimes rises TO the
height of one hundred feet, with a stem
only eighteen inches in diameter at the
base. The wood itself is only an inch
