Bank Robberies Of the Period.

We do not, as may be imagined At first
blush, here refer 10 the ordinary robbery
Of bank by its cashier or paying teller
or any of itsregular luuctionarics, but to
the characteristics OF recent raids upon
banks by people having 20 official con.
ucCtlOn with them-by professional
thieves, in fact They are Of two kinds
the night and the day entrance. The
oldtashioned sapping of the walls, re-
moyal of stones with siege operations
upon the safe, in the quiet of the Sabbath
burglars Day and the disappearance of
plumber and thieves through the hole in
the wall, is not applicable 10 banks in
villages and country towns, where the
buildings are frequently isolated, and, If
Hot, generally tanked by houses wherein
the burglar could not work effectively
without being discovered. Hence two
successful methods have been adopted.
The night method is to call melodramat,
ically with masks and pistols at the house
of whoever keeps the keys and ask him
to step over to the bank and show the
thieves how to get the money out of the
safe, first having gagged and bound the
bank officer and his household. The day
method is to watch until there is only one
person in the bank, to lure him out on
some pretense, and, having previously
ascertained where the money and valu
ables are, to step briskly in and carry
them off before the dcluded bank officer
returns. We need not refer to the num-
Der of times the first plan has been put
into operation, but the second has been
successfully illustrated Of late in Penn
sylvana, New York city, and now near
Boston. 1t is surprising, in view Of the
prompt publicity given to these methods
through the press, that bank officials do
not, when such case is reported, ut once
take the necessary precautions. Every
predatory improvement is at once adopted
by the keen-witted thieves, but the bank
people sit like geese in Il crate geese,
too, with the golden eggs of the people -
and simply wait and wonder whose neck
will next be wrung. Why cannot the
banks organize system OF warnings by
which to every mine Of the burglar they
will all at once oppose counter mine.
Let the bank authorities take this subject
into consideration. A system of warn
ings which would amount 10 prevention
would be inestimably cheaper than the
cOwardly compromises by which these
daring crimes are generally compounded,
putting premium on burglary and leav-
ing the personal risk almost wholly to
the faithful officials here and there who
may choose, who have chosen, to die at
the hands of the thieves rather than hand
over the money of their employers. -NeD

STAMMERING. - Advising about the
treatment of little girl who stammers,
the New York Tribune says:
Teach her to speak slowly, deliberate
ly and very distinctly, and take as little
notice as possible of her stammering.
We know little girl of nine years who
has been so carefully trained to read with
distinctness and precision, that though
she stammers sometimes in conversation,
she rarely hesitates in reading. This lit
tie girl sfather stammered badly in his
boyhood, but cured himself by persistent
elocutiOnary exercise, and in manhood
was fluent public speaker, with no trace
Of the indrmity. Habitually speaking
from full lungs is said to be a permanent
cure of stammering in grown people.
