perpendicular fastenings are lustrous
with polished nickel. The work has
been in progress for the last six months,
and is finally put in place under the
supervision of Mr.. Geo. L. Damon. pro-
prietor of the American Steam Safe
Company. The entire cost is under
stood to be about$10,O00. The amount
Of treasure protected by those vaults
averages 1OO,OO0,OOO, including treas
ury notes, bonds, bullion, and specie
1t is curious coincidence that London
with New York, has
been provided with an enormous safe
for the deposit of treasure. This safe
is built within a large subterranean
chamber nearly forty-six feet deep,
with walls Of hard brick and concrete
six feet thick. Wholly detached from
the walls of the safe, built of brick and
lined with an armour claimed to be in
vulnerable. The doors are Of metal,
each twelve inches thick and weighing
four tons, all closed and locked by by
draulic power. 1t will be observed
that the doors Of the Sub Treasury in
New York surpass those of the great
safe in London about one-third, both
as regards thickness and weight. There
are other safes in New York much
larger than that Of the Federal Treas
ury, such as the one in the Park Bank
or any of the principal safe deposit
companies, but none are of equal

Suggestions for Moving.

One thing you can do. You can
carry soft black pencil, or piece Of
chalk, and even in the last moment can
label as you pack. You need not mix
the goods beyond a certain limit, and
you can try to pack with some judg-
ment. 1t will be found an excellent
plan to make some good, strong, big
bags for all kinds of odds and ends, for
soiled clothes, for patches and bundles,
for everything that will go into q bag,
and to be sure to mark them. For the
kitchen articles, use barrels, and for
books and breakdbles, boxes. All Of
these mark plainly in this way: "Kitch-
en-, pots and frying pans" Kitchen,
tins" Sitting-room, books for large
BOOKCASE" etc. Of course you will need
boxes for brackets, for ornaments of
all kinds; these you have in your bu-
reau drawers. Underclothes, and most
of the ordinary contents of bureau,
you can make into neat packages, and
SO save the drawers for other purposes.
Of your books be careful. If you can
not box them, do not allow the carmen
to pile them loosely in the wagon. The
china will generally go into the wash
ing-tubs and clothes.baskets. Save old
towels and newspapers with view of
packing the china. In one basket or
tub ought to be placed complete SER
vice for the first meal in the new house,
including knives; then another should
have the provisions, and these should
go by one of the first loads. Of course,
meat ought to have been roasted, ham
boiled, coffee ground, and milk and
groceries secured. The first days of
moving give but little time for cooking,
and there is no ignoring the appetite
you will get, nor the strength you will
need.-Scribner for May.

Modern Savings.

Honesty is the best policy, unless you
can get about one hundred thousand
dollars, and effect settlement at fifty
per cent.
Honor thy father and thy mother
more particularly about circus time,
when you don't know where to raise SO
cents.
Never run in debt when you can
avoid it. 1t is better to go snubbing
around in a broadcloth coat than to be
in debt for suit of Scotch mixed
Love thy neighbor as thysef. Bor-
row his pillow, hoe, or horses whenever
you can; but if he wants to borrow
yours tell him that you are sorry that
you were just agoing to use them your
self.
Be guarded in your conversation.
There are times when you may freely
express your opinion of political can
didate, but you had better wait until
visiting.
Respect old age. If you have a
maiden aunt thirty-three years old, and
she is passing herself off for a girl of
twenty, there is no excuse for you to
expose her. The more you respect her
age, and keep still about it, the more she
will respect you.
Never marry for wealth, but remem-
Der that it is just as easy to love a girl
who has brick house, with a mansard
roof and silver-plated door-bell. as one
who has an auburn head and angelic
disposition.
Remember that appearances are oft
en- deceitful. Many pale, thin young
lady will eat more corned beef than a
blacksmith. Because you find her
playing the piano in the parlor, it is no
sign that her mother is not at the gro

A ScOtchman on Ameri can Manners.

In the year 1915, DIR. Mcleod was a
member of a deputation sent by the
General Assembly Of the Scotch Church
to visit churches Of fellowship with that
organization in British America, and
during his stay in the new world he
made a brief trip to Boston. Writing
thence, he says, with fine irony: 81
have been actually three days in Bos-
ton. Do you not think [ am now well
entitled to give a sound opinion upon
American manners? I have lived in
one of her hotels, heard two of her
preachers, seen two of her Sabbath
schools. [ have driven in her cabs and
omnibuses, visited her jails and lunatic
asylums, smoked her cigars, read her
newspapers, and visited Lowell, and
may not be permitted to guess what
sort of people they are? I was prepar-
ed on Saturday to pronounce a judg-
ment on the whole nation; but happen
ing to be wrong in my first opinion, I
shut up my notebook. l had mounted
the box Of a coach; the driver sat on
my left hand; he said he always did.
Just as had noted the great fact that
8 all drivers in America sit on the left
side of the box thought 1 would ask

The KhediYe.

The Khedive Of Egypt is the greatest
speculator and operator in the East.
He owns whole squares in the new parts
of Cairo and Alexandria, on which he
is constantly building houses. He builds
hotels and opera-houses, runs steam
boats and railroads, has immense sugar
factories on which he has expended
millions, owns large part of the land
in Egypt, and exports cotton by the
ship-load from Alexandria. Yet most
of his speculations have been failures,
and he is frightfully in debt, borrows
money at ruinous rates, and has scarce
ly any credit as sovereign. Unless a
sweeping reduction of expenses takes
place, he must soon 60 into the hands
Of receiver, or gracefully retire from
the country, as many another royal
failure has done.

THE DYING PRISONER.
BY HARRY S. MELVILLE.

lit rains so hard this gloomy night,
The iron floor is freezing cold;
What brought me here so chill and white,
This shameful heavy heart to hold?
I think and think, and cannot tell;
I've been wretch, undone, for years;
AMI why in Jail I've come to dwell,
You must not ask me-ask these tears
I've had such strange and feverish dreams
About my life, and what I've done;
They always stopped my thought, it seems,
And blood in veins will scarcely run.
So base am | not fit to live!
And yet do not wish to die!
Pity me-Time, a pardon give,
AND do not let Death come so nigh!
Eight years ago not far from here,
| went to school and had home:
L left the hearth with all so dear
The thorny paths of vice to roam.
While building casGles in the air,
Inever dreamed that devils stood
With hand to blast my beauty fair,
And sink pure virtue in the flood.
The night before ran away,
My father took me on his knee;
He told me that he wished to say
None earthly did he love like me.
He asked me if I'd not be good.
And tread lifes path Alright;
With tears told him that would
Deep grief and tears stole all that night
My memory here begins to fail,
Ny head is dizzy, heart is sick;
These struggles are of no avail,
Death stea.s upon me, Oh ! so quick!
Can this be death? And in this place,
Where neither love nor pity dwell?
He grimly looks me in the face,
Farewell cold, friendless world, farewell

Marriage Among the ChOctaWs.
From the Cheyenne Leader,


The Indians talk little nnder any cir
cumstances. Thus it is naturally sup
possible that when young fellow dons
his best (which is generally set off with
a calico blouse, having large, flaming
sleeves, and his hat stuck full of feath-
ers, with two or three yards of scarlet
ribbon hanging down his back) he
would be about speeches. by the time
he arrives at the old mans mansion.
After dlsmounting from his pony he
takes his position on the fence, and sits
there till he sees his fair one at the
door, when he grins audibly, and if she
doeth likewise he takes it for granted
that he is welcome and goes into the
house, which generally consists of one
room and contains all the family, and
therein he has to make his speech,
which at the furthest amounts to three
grunts. His success depends very
much upon an invitation to smoke by
the father Of the courted lass. If the
" old man" has any respect for him
he lights his pipe, and after taking a
Whit hands it to the young man, who
in turn takes a Whit, and so they pro-
coed, Whit about. The length of time
they smoke depends altogether on the
esteem the father has for the beau.
After certain number of such visits
he finally musters up courage enough
to say, Observation-Disclosures
which means in English, Twill you
have me-" If she says "Ky-yo, "
which means NO." he takes himself
off. If she gives a grunt the prepare
tons are made.
On the day appointed for the we'd
ding the groom arrives on pony, and
| leading another that has side-saddle
for the bride. On arriving at the house,
without dismounting, he fastens her
pony to the fence, and then rides off a
short distance in the direction they are
to go. Shortly the bride steps out
dressed in the height of fashion, new
calico dress, white pocket handker.
chief around the neck, and large red
one tied over her head and ears, and a
pair of new shoes across her arms
which she puts on just before reaching
the parsons. AS soon as she mounts
her pony the man starts on, and she
follows from SO to 200 yards behind
On arriving at the parsonage he gets
off, ties his horse, and goes into the
house and makes his business known
BY this time the lady arrives, dis
mounts, secures her horse and goes to
the house, leans herself on the side of
it near the door, and patiently waits
till some one discovers her and bids her
enter. All things being in readiness,
the minister, who is usually white
missionary, motions the couple to stand
up, and performs the ceremony in
English, which is about as Ineligible
to them as Greek; but when the minis
ter stops talking they depart, leaving
the poor clergyman without fee or
thanks, They usually go to the hus-
bands parents and stay about a year
before attempting the arduous duties
of housekeeping" After getting
married Choctaw does as they do in
Indiana-that is if he doesn't like the
squaw he gets a divorce, which is
granted on the most frivolous pretext

Doors that Cost $4,000.
From the New York Commercial

FrOu1 uc NEW IOTk COu1ucTC1dl.
Four sets of doors and vestibules,
each weighing between six and seven
tons, have just been fitted into the two
vaults of the Sub-Treasury, in Wall
street, making the strongest and most
invulnerable deposit for money which
can be found in the United States.
These doors are each four and half
inches in thickness, made of alternate
layers of iron and welded steel, the
whole secured in single mass by
rivets, screws, and conical bolts, so that
a burglar, before he could force q way
to the vault, must penetrate sixteen
inches of solid metal. But this is not
all. AS an additional security each
door is fitted with double combination
locks, making in all sixteen locks, also
with chronometer locks. These latter
are protection against dishonest Off
cials, as well as burglars; for when the
treasurer closes the vault, say at the
end of days work, he knows that it
cannot be opened again until the hour
fixed for his return, even though the
locks meanwhile should be torn to
pieces. The bolts would remain in
their sockets until released by the work
ing of the chronometer. Under this
system burglary like that at the bank
in Northampton would be impossible.
The doors measure IN height eight feet,
by. four in width, and when thrown
open present beautiful spectacle,
glistening with bronze of golden hue
used in the more delicate mechanism,

FIRST LOVE.


Two little hands outstretching,
Shyly bidding me stay;
Two little hands close clasped then,
That summer day.
Two timid eyes uplifted,
Loving and loved, to mine
Ienderest heart thought revealing:
Evermore thine"
Two blushing rose-leaves for lips
Dalntlest rose-leaves known,
Softly murmuring the secret
Soft eyes had shown.
While birds and sunshine lister, d.

What hands, eyes, lips, had pledged me,

Gutenberg's Invention.

Considered from mechanical point
of view, the merit of Gutenberg's in
vention may be inferred from its per-
manency. His type-mold was not
merely the first; it is the only practical
mechanism for making types. For
more than four hundred years this
mold has been under critical examina
ton, and many attempts have been
made to supplant it. Contrivances
have been introduced for casting fifty
or more types, like nails, out of cold
metal; for stamping types from cylin-
drical steel dies upon the ends Of cop
per rods; but experience has shown
that these and other inventions in the
field of type-making machinery are
not better methods of making types.
There is no better method than Guten-
berg's. Modern type casting machines
have molds attached to them which are
more exactand more carefully finished,
and which have many little attachm ents
of which Gutenberg never dreamed,
but in principle and in all the more
important features, the modern molds
may be regarded as the molds of
Gutenberg.
"Why," says Mad den, should we
speak of monuments of bronze or stone
to commemorate the services of Guten-
berg. His monument is in every quar-
ter of the world: more frail than all, it
is more enduring than ALT is the
book. "-iScr1baaer for May.

The New Telescope for Rochester Uni
VerSity.

From the Rochester Express
The site Of the observatory in which
the new telescope for the Rochester
University is to be placed and staked
out, and the building will be commenced
Immediately. 1t will be located about
three hundred feet east of the Univer-
sity building-Anderson Hail. The
building, which it is expected will be
finished within two months, will be six
teen feet in diameter, of wood, iron
sheathed, and will have a revolving
dome. The telescope is now being man
ufactured by the maker of the large
telescope at the Smithsonian Institu-
ton. 1t is the gift of J. B. Trevor, of
Yonkers, the gentleman who has done
so much for the Baptist institutions in
Rochester. The cost will be ST. 800. It
will be the largest size portable tele-
scope, the object glass being six and
one-quarter inches in diam eter; will be
equatorially mounted, but without the
clock-Work, which can be put in at any
time at a cost Of few hundred dollars.
It is the intention not to run the pedes-
tai down to the solid rock, but to leave
a cushion Of earth underneath, so that
the trains of the New York Central
Railroad, which pass not very far dis
tant, will not jar the instrument.
