Postal SGuis,gs Bank.


The postal savings banks were intro
duced to afford the poorer classes il
England a safe means of investing small
sums of money. They are limited to
$3.50, and reach as low as shilling.
= The depositor can incur no loss, as
in the common savings bank. He
is allowed two and oAe-half per cent. in
terest, and can withdraw his deposit
without any fear Of being driven to -
thirty or sixty days notice. His money
is always ready for him; and by very
useful provision, if he travels to q dis
tant city, he can call at any postal bank
and draw what sums he pleases. AIDE
positor in New York, for example, might
20 to San Francisco and obtain at it's
post-office the money he had left at
home. The banks are usually managed
by women. Female clerks, evidently
we'll acquainted with their business, re
ceive the money of the depositOrs, a,i-
swer inquiries, are well educated, snG
make useful fnanciers; and the snail
amount of loss attending the systems
shows that in honesty and intelligence
they are not, at least, surpassed by III.
sterner sex. The postal savings
bank was introduced i'm 1861, and has
since risen to nnexampled prosperity.
The amount deposited since that year
has reached s45O,OOO, 600; the amount
remaining on deposit is about sl35,00D.
000--a small sum compared to- the VASE
returns of our own banks, but divided
among more than 100000 depositor;-
The average deposit is less than 81 :.
plain proof that the banks afford accos,.-
mediation to that class for which thoy
are especially designed. The postas
banks have made their way into various
countries, but have ~ yet been often
narrow in their plan. In France, under
the old system, deposits are limited b
500; in Belgium, to 500; in Denmark
there is no limit. Prussia rises TO $50,
Austria to $1,000. Italy has adoptedtic
postal hanks with great success; in Ger
many the system has been partially en-
ployed; in Austria completely. France
has introduced some of its features. In
all civilized countries il is making its
vay. In no country, it would seen,
should it he more cordially received
than in ours, since its leading idea -
that thepeople should lend their savings
10 themselves, and enforce upon tlre,s
government the strictest rules Of finAD
cial inteerity.--HaPeT's Weefly-

" Heat Il Life"

There is no greater fallacy than tho
opinion of many, particularly the Young
and strong and vigorous. that winter
especially sharp, frosty one, with plen-
ty of snow-is the most healthy SEASON
of the year. Very few persons seem to
realize the fnct that cold is the condi-
ton of death, and that in both warIn
and cold climates it is oar unconscious
effort to maintain our bodily heat Mt .
temperature Of ninety-eight degrees
that wears us out. To this temperature
called "blood-heat," every cubic inch oS
oxygen that serves to vitalize our blood
must be raised by our own bodily heat,
or life ceases. Since in cold weather.
the maintenance of sufficiently elovs-
ted bodily temperature becomes very
often difficulty too great for our
strength, the advent of q severe. winter
is really more to be dreaded than u visi.
tation of q pestilence. The, saying.
Heat is life-cold is DEATH" has STIR
king illustration and confirmation in
the reports now regularly submitted by
DR.. Russell to the Glasgow sanitary COM
mittec. The death ratio rises and falls
with the regularity of the thermometer
So many degrees less heat, SO many
more deaths and vice versa. In one of
his fortnightly reports DIR. Russell says:
THE death rate in the first week Of tho
fortnight was twenty-One, and in the
second week twenty-five. Tho mean
temperature in the former week was
1913 degrees Fahrenheit, in the latter
39.5." He attributes the low rate OF the
first week to the high mean temperature
Of the preceding fortnight, which Was
1893 degrees, and adds: "This is a
FOOD illustration of law which we fire.
quently observe in these reports Of teau-
perature and death rates--that week
of low temperature produces high
Heath rate in the week following" In
our climate it would probably be diff
cllt to find more frequent cause Of
serious ailments than taking cold
Whatever weak place We have, what
,ver constitutional disorder we be sub
ject to, cold will surely discover. We,
take colds because our vitality is too
low to ward off the effects of the re-
duced temperature around U.S. As u
matter Of first Importance, then, to re-
sist cold and the various arrangements
Of the system consequent, it is necessa-
ry by proper nutrition to maintain our
natural animal heat; second, to retain
this heat by sufficient quantity Of
clothing; third, to regulate with care
the temperature of the air we breathe.

city, on November 7th, 1878, has been ar
rested In Connecticut and is to be returned
to the Auburn prison. He was one of a
gang who few weeks ago, made an unsuc-

River Ct. Bank. Frank Mcdonald, other
wise "Big Frank, 7" was one of the party,
bnt he escaped arrest, Hope and man
named Coakley, being the only ones cap
tured. AS the evidence is not strong enough
to hold Hope for the Connecticut affair, be
is returned 10 his old quarters at Auburn
Hope, "Big Frank" Jim Brady and Joe
Howard were the party who attempted the
robbery in this city, and who were arrested
immediately afterward and, after trial sen
tenced to forty lashes and ten years each in
New Castle Jail, They all escaped but
"Big Frank'' was afterward recaptured in
Virginia, taken back and again escaped,
