A sew idea has been introduced IN the Eng
liah postal system which might well lie adapted
II this country. It is a new system Of postal
orders OF check. These are Of four solta-two
-hilhngs, six pence, five shilIings ten shilngs
and fifteen shillings, for which one pence and
two pence are charged. Any one can secure a
supply Of these on payment Of the money and
use them Ly filling IN himself the names and
addresses to which he desires the money to be
sent, and by mdorsmg them they may be made
available at banks, thus saving the bother Of
obiglng persons TO 80 t. the Iostottice every
time they wish to send or receive money bv mail

It is seldom that three such buds Of
ours open upon this earth in q single
spring as a hundred years ago, when the
three babies were born who were christ
ened Thomas Chalmers, Moses Stuart,
and William Ellary Claiming. They
came within less than a month of each
other i'll the year 1880, and March II,
March IS, and April were the dates OF
their birth. Their stars led them all to
the same sacred calling, although to very
different departments Gifts work. Their
birth places were Fifeshire, Scotland;
Wilton, Conn; and Newport, Il. l., and
they left the world severally, at the ages
of 81, -, and 50, and in the years 1917,
1852, and 1912. 1t is worth noting that
Stuart, the greatest scholar among them.
lived by far the longest, that Chalmers,
the greatest practical organizer, came
next in length Of years, and that Chan
ming, the introspectivet thinker and seden-
tarv writer. was first to pass away.

MUNICIPAL debts in eastern towns or cities or
IN the west are two different things in comparing
the wealth of the two sections. In the eastern
states state or municipal debt is a debt due lis
citizens, hui in the west such debt is usually
due some capitalists living in tile eastern states.
Il IS SO with the western railroads. Over one
half Of all the capital Of the railroads running
through the west belong to men living in the
eastern states. while they own the.majorpa OF
thor own roads. OF the $500 000. zoe deposited
III the savings banks il 1879 the eastern states
owned all hut 750,0lQ0a0. and the western
states les~ than e15.0Uo0Q0. Nearly ali Of this
Tast accumulation has been within tie past ff-
teen wears. OF the national bank capital tie
western states own 30,0o0,0 600. and the eastern
state 93l6.ooa.oJo. Tie great national debt is
distributed m about thc same proportion. Of
western mortgages on private real estate, the
amount held by eastern men Is enormous.
