THE BANK STATEMENT


is again discouraging. During the last Two weeks
the amount suDtracted from the excess OF legal
reserve is upwards OF 500, 900. Some OF this has
been used in the movement OF crops West and
South. But more has gone into the Treasury at
Washington, to make good The redemption fund
OF 81, 500 600, which it Is SAID has been counted
by the banks as being in Washington, though with
out q real existence. The statement shows
duction in the total reserve OF s3,2ss 500. The
loans have been reduced fs0l,50o; the deposits
down to ss,SI7 300, which is nearly accounted
ior by the loss in specie and legal tenders and
the decrease IN loans. All that is not accounted
for represents the shipment from the city of ma
tlona bank notes. The banks now have *l5, s39 800
more reserve IN lawful money than the law re-
quires, which is s., S34, S25 less than held last
week. The following Is comparison OF the bank

A Slight Mistake.

Chubb's clock got out of order one
day about Christmas time, and began
to strike wrong. That was the cause
of the fearful excitement in his house
one night. They were all in bed
sound asleep at mignight, when the
clock suddenly struck FIVE. The new
hired girl, happening to wake just as
it began, heard it, and bounced out Of
bed, under the impression that morn
ing had come and as it is dark at five
A. M. Just at that season as at mid
night, she did not perceive her mis-
take, but went down into the kitchen
and began to get breakfast. While
she was bustling about in a pretty
lively manner, Cbubb happened to
wake, and he heard the noise. He
opened his room door cautiously, and
crept softly to the head of the stairs
to listen. He could distinctly hear
some one moving about the kitchen
and dining room, and apparently pack
ing up the china. Accordingly ho
went back TO his room and woke Mrs
Chubb, and gave her orders to spring
the rattle out of the front window tho
moment she heard his gun go off,
Then Chubb seized bis fowling piece,
and, going down TO the dining room
door, where he could hear tho burglars
at work, he cooked the gun, aimed it,
pushed the door open with muzzlo and
fired. Instantly Mrs. Chubb sprang
the rattle and before Chubb could pick
up the laccrated hired girl the door
was burst open by two policemen, who
came into the dining room. Seeing
Chubb with q gun, and bleeding
woman on the floor, they imagined
that g murder had been committed,
and one Of them trotted Chubb off to
tho station house while the other re-
mained TO investigate things Just
then tho clock struck six. An expla-
nation ensued from the girl, who had
only o few bird shot in her leg and

Now the Weeds.

| hVW thS "S
In the fields, in the pastures, by the
wayside aud wherever we 60 the weeds
are gaining ground to the detriment OIL
something better. OF course we rank a'
weeds everything We do not desire to cul
tiya,e. With this broad Classification VIC
are justified in saying that full one half Of
all our forage crop is weeds. Thistles'
daisies and many other conspicuous weeds
and many of the inferior grasses and sed'
ges, if cut at the right time arc consumed
BY stock and have some little value as
forage. They are not, however, of SUI
6cient value to warrant their cultivation
aud they should be most persistently fought
everywhere. They are generally gross
feeders and draw upon the soil more than
the better and more nutritious forage
plants.
1t is not our purpose to enter upon a
general discussion Of this subject at this
time as we have neither time nor space at
command to do it justice, Our object is
to call attention to the necessity Of now
log the roadsides and pastures and every
other place where weeds are growing and
the winds are distributing their seeds. 1t
has come to be almost impossible TO i'm
prove our meadow lands from the fact that
the air is full of the seeds of noxious
weeds. If piece of ground is taken up
fer res eediDg it is sure to be stocked with
weeds whether with something better or
not. We saw piece Of ground few
days since where the growth of thistles
was SO rank that everything else was COM
pletely choked out. The owner CON-
planned that he could not get "a catch"
Of grass upon it. We frankly confess
that We have but very little sympathy for
him, for he has for more years that we
can remember, permitted rank growth of
thistles to stand in the roadside nearby,
and scatter their seeds, and if small
part of them have fallen upon his own
soil, his neighbors need not grudge him SO
small favor, since he has never withheld
from them most generous supply. We
know whole neighborhoods where it is i'm
possible to raise any crop without the most
persistent fight with thistleS, and yet the
thistles are permitted to stand by the
roadside and scatter their seets year af-
ter year, and nobody interferes. We
know a farmer who has nearly two miles
of roadside, on every rod of which there
are more or less of noxious weeds gong
to seed every year, and yet we never
knew, nor can we learn that anybody else
ever knew, of his moving single clip
when he did not find it for his interest to
harvest the crop. If farmers have not
sufficient public spirit, pride or personal
interest to induce them to destroy their
weed crops that scatter their seeds in the
winds, there should be some law to CON-
Ipcl them to do it, and some officer detailed
to execute the law. We are taught that
an enemy sowed tares in his neightor's
field, and who but an enemy to the whole
human family, can SOW thistles and fox.
glove, and other noxious weeds to the
winds?

EMBALMING AMONG THE EGYPTIANS
The Egyptians, however, carried their
process to perfection by introducing an.
tiseptics into tho vacated interior Of
their dead, thus embalniug in their cata.
combs, it is estimated, not less than 400,
900, 900 persons. Herodotus and Do
dorus Sicuus, especially the former, have
infinitely explained the method ofpreserv.
alton, and from them we learn that it was
a regular trade. The embalmers remov-
ed the brain and the intestines, supplying
the emptiness with myrrh, cassia. and
other spices, and then placed the body
In uatrcn for seventy days. Subsequent.
ly it was earthly laved and wrapped with
bandages of fine linen smeared with gum,
and put in a wooden case shaped after the
human figure. There were other modes
Of embalming less expensive, the rate
varying from $500 to $500 in our cur.
rency, which was so much money in those
days that we can not now see how Egyp-
tians Of the ordinary class could possibly
afford to die. They doubtless lived long
er than they would have done otherwise,
prompted by prudent economy to avoid
the extravaganza Of burial as long as pos
sible.
The cheapest way of embalming, adopt
ed usually by the poor. was to free the
abdomen of intestiues by means Of a ely.
ster-commonly the oil of the cedar.tree
and let the body lie in natron until the
flesh was impreguated. Recent investiga.
ton indicate that heat must have been ap.
Piled to the corpses after they had been
filled with some bitumlnous substance, and
creosote generated and diffused through
all the tissues. The reason that heat was
not mentioned by the ancient authorities
is supposed to be their desire to keep thu
process secret, and enhance the diguit,
and mystery OF the art.
Embalming is still employed. Thu
means adopted by Chaussier and other
have been to eviscerate the body and keel
it constantly saturated with protochlorid,
Of mercury. The salt, combining will
the flesh, not only gives it Armness. blu
renders it incorruptible either by interna
or external agencies. The injection int,
the veins Of concentrated solution O
sulrhate of alumina, or of chloride O
mercury and wood-vinegar, or of sulphat'
of zinc, has been found very effective 20
