Some Big Salaries in New York

Ten thousand dollars, $15 900, $25 900
is great salary to be paid to a Presi-
dent. One man is dear at 81 900, an
other is cheap at $4,000. Stout, of the
Shoe and Leather Bank, keeps up his
stock at $40, with none in the market.
The bank could afford to give him $780,
coo rather than lose him. Morrison, of
the Manhattan, was young clerk in the
old United States Bank. The Cashier of
the Manhattan stole every dollar of the
capital and cleared out. The officers
came together to wind up the concern.
The charter OF the bank was valuable
one. 1t was struggled through an I'M
willing Legislature by Aaron Burr, under
the pretense of introducing water into
New York. A Director said: Let's try
it again; | can find you capable man,
and l can find you an honest man; he is
a true blue Cameronian Presbyterian;
you can trust him anywhere" SoMorri-
son came to the front. He raised the
stock to $3.50. He is now President
with salary of $4,000. The President
of one, of our largest banks was called
upon by men representing large cash

trouble. Two millions would save it,
and the bank must furnish it. The in
stitution had been great patron of the
bank, and it kept on deposit heavy
balance for years. "Icannot help you"
said the President, "unless l ruin more
than a thousand customers, who look to
me to protect them and to the bank for
a reasonable discount" The heaviest
pressure was brought to bear upon the
President, but in vain. He regarded the
application as wrong in principle and
not to be entertained. The institution
went up, as it would have gone up any
how. The bank was saved a loss of
100000. That single transaction
pays the salary of $25, 5000 year.-N.

the orthodox schools? All the explana-
tioDs of the missionaries that they ask
for the children, not to set them to work,
but for the children's own advantage,
are in vain"
The magistrates at Tadcaster, in En-
gland, have sentenced a man, in good
position of life, to be imprisoned for two
months for audibly cursing the Queen
during divine service in a school-room
where public worship was being con-
Quoted by clergyman of the Church of
England The offensive language was
used twice, while the prayers for the
Queen and for the royal family
were being said. The defendant was
very violent when demonstrated with,
and it required four men to put him out
of the room. He pleaded before the
bench that he had been a liberal sup
porter of the church and schools in the
parish, and that he had sent a letter of
apology to the clergyman. He uttered
the EXPLANATIONS, he said, "sponta-
neously," having shortly before the serv-
ice been talking about the.Queen's taxes.

Gentlemen's Spring Styles.

THE prevailing styles Of the new goods
for spring and summer wear are checked
patterns and fancy mixtures for entire
suits, with checks and stripes for trou-
sers. In checks the patterns are not so
large as have been worn heretofore, but
are very clear and bright in color. One
of the leading novelties is a check on a
diagonal ground, the lines forming the
check being about half an inch broad,
with the diagonal pattern running
through them. The design is carried
out ON soft green, subdued purple or
red, on a black and white or brown and
white diagonal ground, and also in other
effective combinations, and is especially
adapted for suits. The same idea is
seen in stripes over diagonal ground
for trousers, the patterns being distinct,
cheerful looking and elegant. These
two styles are not likely to be surpassed
in beauty and novelty this season. A
large proportion of the new goods are
checks and plaids over stripes, being
suitable alike for trousers or whole suits.
In quieter styles there are some very
pretty mixtures and neat patterns in
worsteds and Angolas. The worsted
goods which have been so successfully
introduced by one of the best houses are
likely to be very much in favor, as they
have been found admirably adapted to
this climate, and are too expensive to
become common. Home Journal.

roots which it has, and the larger the
roots the less fibers there will be upon
them. A tree that has plenty of tibrous
roots will grow readily if proper care is
used in transportation; but no amount of
skill can coax tree to live and flourish
which is destitute of these little fibers.
The roots of large trees are always more
or less mutilated in the process of taking
up, while small trees sustain little injury
from this source. Dealers in trees as
sert that experienced men buy small,
thrifty trees, while those who are just
starting are anxious for the largest to be
had. Those who are to set trees the
coming season will do well to learn from
the experience of those who, at consider
able loss to themselves, have demon
strated that small trees are the ones to
buy Prairie Farmer.

Paraso1s and Gloves.

Fashion DEGREES complete revolution
in sunshades. The stale and somber sun
umbrella is to be superseded by tasty
and dainty parasols, in all the fashiona-
BILE shades of color, and new spring
suit will not be considered complete
without this coquettish screen from the
sun. They come in two sizes, and moth
ing could be more stylish than the turn
over top or fan parasol for carriage or
spring promenade. Some are trimmed
with embroidered rutfies, while others
have rutfies lined with contrasting
color, and edges fringed so as to form
a soft, feathery mass that is very at
tractive. The " Mariposa" is the larger
of the two, and upon one gore is a but
terfiy embroidered in its natural gay col
ors. The handles, of ivory, pearl, ana rose
wood, are in various patterns, but the
little French parasol, which is designed
to become the favorite, has handle
tipped with a plated ball and large ring,
which can be slipped on the wrist con-
sequently is no trouble when not in use.
The side-cut glove is new and different
from all others, the buttons being scarce
ly perceptible when the arm is raised.
Its fit is perfect, and renders the
glove easier to put on. Gloves
are shown only in light shades,
and for evening or full dress have a
great advantage over the old style of cen
ter-cut. The hand is too expressive a
member of the body to be obscured; but,
at the same time, to be brought out in
high colors or bold relief from the re-
mainder of the costume, would give evil
dence of objectionable error. For
tunately, on this point the fashions of
the present time are in admirable taste.
High, conspicuous colors are not adj
mitted; shades are either medium, en-
suite with the costume, or, for dress oc-
casions, extremely refined, pale and al
most colorless tints. The present shape
causes the hand to look slender, and
this, of course, is highly desirable. If
dark gloves are worn, they should be
somewhat lighter than the costume;
black gloves are only admissible with
black costumes.
Undressed kid, or gants de Suede, are
very fashionable for general wear. Lisle-
thread gloves in all the new shades are
in demand. Ordinary thread gloves are
thirty-five cents, and silk from seventy
five cents upward.-N Y Letter.

Buy Small Trees.

Nurserymen usually describe trees on
their catalogues as "second class"
medium" " first class" and extra"
The difference in these classes is princi-
pally if not wholly in the size and height
of the trees; and as most farmers desire
the hest, they suppose that the large
"extra" trees merit that description, and
hence order them. The fact is, however,
that small tree will grow faster and Gf
a fruit tree come into bearing condition
sooner than II large one; and, as the New
England Homestead states, in half a
dozen years the tree that was small when
planted will be larger and finer than the
other. The larger the tree the larger the

Didn't Know That He Was Sick.

A few weeks ago one of our citizens
went to bed and to sleep, as he says,
never feeling better in his life. In the
morning he awoke, finding his family and
neighbors standing around his bed in a
state of great anxiety, and strange man
trying to get something sweet with a
spoon into his mouth. To his expressions
of establishment the reply was Didn't
you know that you were sick?" Never
was better in my life" Why, you've
been awful sick. We thought you
were dead or dying, and here is the doc
tor trying to give you some medicine"
1t was all a mystery to him; he felt per-
fectly well; wanted no medicine; was
going to get up. After remonstrance and
considerable parley, he again announced
his determination to get up. He then
learned from his wife that in the night
he uttered " d most unearthly shrek "a
whereupon she arose quickly, struck "
light, and found him lying upon his back
rigid and in a state of insensibility She
Immediately called the rest of the house
hold and some of the neighbors. A
strong man put his hands under his head
to raise him and found him " as stiff as
a crowbar." His throat was swollen so
that all was level from the chin to his
stomach. A sensible lady conceived that
there was virtue in friction, and rubbed
him until she was nearly exhausted, and
probably saved his life, Aphysician was
called, and, as it was the patients hour
for getting up when the doctor was about
to administer his remedy, he awoke
"never better in his life" He got up,
went down town as usual, called on the
doctor, and paid him his bill.-BangOr

Keeping Poultry on a Large Scale

When one begins to entertain thoughts
of poultry on large scale, and pictures
in his imagination large fowl house,
with 400 birds, perched in long rows
close together, only waiting for the
morning to seek their nests, lay eggs and
cackle, all healthy, bright and productive,
he is on dangerous ground. He must
not use the rule of three in this wise:
eff twenty hens in small, snug, warm
house, receiving odd bits of meat, potato,
fat, besides regular feed of grain, will
produce twenty dollars profit in year,
how much will 400 hens produce in a
large hen-house?" This problem has
been wrought out, believed in as the
unerring result of mathematics, but in
the end, after expensive experiments,
produced almost uniformly disappoint
ment and loss. But how can man keep
400 hens proftably? Ianswer: just as
twenty men keep twenty hens each in a
village, each man keeping a few sepa-
rately, each flock of fowls having a snug,
warm place in winter, and variety of
food, "odds and ends" such as every
housekeeping establishment furnishes.
if 400 hens are kept together in one
building the result is sterility, egg. eat
ing, feather-eating, and the prevalence
of some fatal type of disease, as Group
or cholera. This has been the general
experience of those who have made the
experiment. If man wishes to keep
400 hens let him make chen village"
Build it on dry soil, placing the build
ings eight rods apart, have them tight,
but not necessarily expensive, treat each
family of fowls just as any man who is
successful treats his small flock, giving
them the same feed of grain, flesh, fish,
fat, vegetables and ls.-RMraL Home.

Knowledge Is Power.

This nation of enlightened freemen. Edu-
cation is the cornerstone and foundation of our
government. The people are free to think and
act for themselves, and that they may act wisely
it is necessary that they be wellinformed. Every
individual gain increases public gain. Upon the
health of the people is based the prosperity of a
nation, by it every value is increased, every Joy
enhanced. Health is essential to the accomplish
ment of every purpose; while sickness thwarts
the best intentions and loftiest aims. Unto us
are committed important health trusts, which
we hold not merely in our own behalf but for
the benefit of others. In order that we may be
able to discharge the obligation of our trustee
ship and thus prove worthy of our generous
commission, it is necessary that We study the art
of preserving health and prolonging life. 1t is
OF paramount importance to every person not
only to understand the means for the preserva-
ton of health, but also to know what remedies
should be employed for the alienation of the
common ailments of life. Not that we would
advise every man under all circumstances to at
tempt to be his own physician, but We entreat
him to acquire sufficient knowledge of his sys-
TEN and the laws that govern it, that he may be
prepared to take care of himself properly and
thereby prevent sickness and prolong life. In
no textbook will the people find the subjects of
physiology and hygiene, or the science of life
and the art of preserving health, more scientif-
cally discussed or more plainly taught than in

" NOT DEBILITATLNG, As THE 4HER-
CURIAL REMEDIES ARE, BUT
STRF N(lTHE MING TVSTE1

CURIAL REMEDIES ARE, BUT
STRENGTHENLNG INSTEAD"
This is the testimony Of the veteran editor
of the Fredonia Censor, after a satisfactory
trial of DR.. Fenner's Blood and Liver Rem
edy and Nerve Tonic. 1t is no uncommon
thing to meet a man with a cadaverous face,
thin, gaunt, complaining; having no appe-
tite, breath too offensive to endure, heavily
furred tongue, unable to rest well at nights,
barely keeping around and hardly able to
keep soul and body together He is always
a skeptic in medicine, and generally every
thing else, except one. There is one thing
he believes in, and that is that it is interest
ing to all who come within his reach to be
bored with lengthy and particular recital
of all his ailments, which recital usually con
cludes with an emphatic statement of his
disbelief in all remedies that are recon-
mended for his relief, none of which he has
tried, at least not in any thorough business
way. Is it not relief to turn from such a
spectacle to a consistent sensible man who
does not affect so much smartncss,n but is
willing to acknowledge the truth? Here is
what he says:
