The Suspended Marssvine Savings Bank

The bank owns real estate valued on the
books at sos, ,5l5. Nearly all of this, il is
said, the bank was forced to purchase on fore
closures. The Seoretary's trial balance, taken
the day before the suspension, shows the la
bilities to be S476. .006. and the assets the
same. The banks business was confined to
loans on real estate. 1t was incorporated in
1869, on purely mutual basis, and the Sec
rotary thinks tie first dividend will be ten
per cent The creditors will probably be
paid the first dividend next month. No fraud
is suspected, and the shEinksge in real estate
explains the suspension.

Please Don't Fret.

There is one sin which seems to me is
everywhere and by everybody under
estimated, and quite too much overlooked
in valuations of character. 1t is the sin
of fretting. 1t is as common as air, as
speech; SO common that unless it rises
above its usual monotone we do not even
observe it. Watch an ordinary coming
together of people; and see how many
minutes it will be before somebody frets
that is, making q more or less COM
planning statement of something or other,
which, most probably, every one in the
room or the stage, or the street car, or
the street corner, as it may be, knew
before, and which, most probably,
nobody can help. Why say anything
about it? 1t is cold, it is wet, it is dry;
somebody has broken an appointment,
ill-cooked meal; stupidity or bad faith
somewhere has resulted in discomfort.
There are always plenty of things to fret
about. 1t is simply astonishing how
ANNOYANCE and discomfort may be found
in the course of every days living, even
at the simplest, if one only keeps a sharp
eve out on that side of things. But
even to the sparks flying upward, in the
blacklist of smoke, there is a blue sky
above, and the less time they waste on
the road the sooner they will reach it.
Fretting all time wasted on the road

Country Bows In New York.

While foreign emigrants are landed
here IN daily crowds, there is also vast
rush to this city from all parts of the
Union. A large element in this is COM
posed Of country boys, some of whom
are seeking employment, while others
have run away from home and come
hither to spend their money. 1t is esti-
mated that the number of these run
nways averages 300 per week. Theatri-
cal mongers are continually beset with
applications from this class, many of
whom are stage struck as soon as they
attend such places of amusement. A
few days ago, for instance, youth was
arrested while trying to make an engage
ment. He was only fifteen, and had alb
seconded after robbing his parents, who
live in the West. Such youth generally
go to ruin with fearful rapidity. They
become the pals Of pickpockets and other
thieves, who ''give them away" in order
to save themselves, and this explains the
great proportion of youth among our
criminal classes. New York is at best q
poor place for young people, but under
such circumstances the dangers of the
city are fearfully increased. York

An Oriental Sunday Among the Mer-
chants in Bombay.

An Indian correspondent of the Wash
ington Republican writes: The Sabbath
in Bombay is, as it is on the Continent,
a busy day. The natives find that the
labor of six days does not render them
revenue enough, and therefore continue
their traffic on the seventh. The Euro
peans remain quietly at home, but this
does not prevent them from being visited
by the merchants and their wares. They
enter the hotels and boarding houses and
strew the floor with their goods, and very
beautiful they are, too. Cashmere shawls,
embroidered Persian garments in silver
and gold, cunningly wrought jewelry,
sandal-wood fans and boxes. The GUS
toms and manners of the merchants are
unique and not just what we are accus-
toned to in civilized land. His goods
are transported by coolie who remains
outside. The merchant who is bare
legged and not over-dressed, squats on
the floor while he displays his merchan-
tiles of the articles. He names at first
to be beaten down; and, as you express
disapproval, gradually lowers the price,
until, if you purchase, it has been low
cred nearly two-t thirds The Jews, who
have always carried off the palm for this
particular mode of trade, would find
themselves in nearly every instance put
to shame by a native Indian trader.
There is no necessity for ladies to go out
shopping in Bombay, for all kinds of
apparel and fancy articles are brought to
the houses and bungalows for them to
choose from. All of the native shops
are open on Sunday. and mechanics go
to their daily labor as matter of course,
the large cotton-mills and manufactures
rumble ON regardless of the holy day.
The natives have different days for their
religious worship throughout the month.

CHIEF NUMANA was Census Supervisor

Indians, and a single sheet of blank pa

ment. Upon this paper the Indian made
n circle to represent wigwam or camp,
and within he placed figures to represent
the number of persons in family, his
squaws being distinguished by lines
representing gowns, and smaller figures
denoting children of various sizes. The
chief made up his report from these
sheets by taking q number of willow
sticks Of various lengths to denote adults
and children Of different sizes, notching
those representing females, and sending
the sticks in bundles TO the census office.

Roller Skating at the Capital.

So it happens, writes Washington
correspondent, that Washington has
more profcients on roller skates to the
square acre than any other city in the
world, and that certain classes of her
population have mannerisms as peculiar
to roller skaters as are the unconscious
mechanical movements of a blacksmith
characteristic and typical with all his
guild. Wherever there is declivity, as
on Capitol Hill, roller skaters most do
congregate. They go up the incline in
shoals, as it were, every individual girl
or boy, or man or women, bending to his
or her work with patient, cheerful
alacrity. Coming down they pool their
issues. and form in line behind leader,
who, with his coat-tail in firm grasp of
the boy behind him, Civ IS momentum to
the whole column, every individual stand
ing stiff and prim on the rollers. After
getting the line in motion the leader
eases up, and standing like the others,
all go whizzing down the hill. Once
fairly started, there is a letting go of
coat tails or apron strings or hands and
each skater moves as an Independent, de-
tached fragment of the line Here comes
in the delusiye or deceptive feature of
the scheme, and the unconscious me-
chanical movement that has grown into
mannerism. If all goes well, that skim
down Capitol Hill is worth weeks fun
to any 10y or girl who has the spirit of
adventure. Those who enjoy coasting
will understand this. But in this substi-
tute for ccasting it is rarely that all does
go well. If the leader tumbles. all tum
bic, or if any one down the line tumbles.
oil behind him tumble. Every skater
seems to understand this, and they are
so confident in their expectations of hav-
ing to sitdownin the face of a catastrophe,
that they seem always in the act of get
. ting ready to sit down. When the
catastrophe comes, or rather on the in
stant it threatens, every boy or girl sits
down promptly, but easily, with move
ment that reminds one of the mechanism
of the conventional stage fall. The ma
jJrity remain in sitting posture until
some boy who has good command of his
legs reaches an upright position and pro-
ceeds to assist the others. Then they
glide in subdued way to the bottom of
the hill, scattering as the spirit moves
them. Often some tyro on roller skates
is left to regain his footing himself, or
some boy with bloody nose, or a
sprained ankle, or bruised hand, is left
stranded and disconsolate on the curb
stone. Nineteen times in every twenty
these combination movements end in dis
appointments, but hour after hour, and
day after day, the roller skaters, shutting
their eyes to all disappointments, oon-
tinue to take the risks.

NUMBER 5.
The Man in the Moon.

The disk of the moon, as is very ap-
parent. is not of uniform brightness, but
is diversified by dark areas here and
there. These dark areas are SO arranged
as to represent the eyes, nose, and
mouth of q human being, and the whole
disk represents passably we'll human
face. Not all people, however, can see
this resemblance. Some who can not
see the face can see man and a woman
carrying between them bucket of
water. The man stands on the left side
of the disk, the woman on the right. To
some the dark spaces appear to have the
same shape as North and South America,
as if the Western Continent was re-
fected in the moon.
The Tartars see none of these, but
their "'man in the moon" is wood
cutter, bearing on his back huge bun
die of wood and supporting himself with
a staff. The Japanese see the form of a
rabbit in sitting posture. His long
ears stand erect, and before him is a
large mortar. In his forepaws he holds
a pestle, with which he is grinding rice
after the manner of the Japanese.
The Emperor Rodolph, who often OBJ
served the moon with the Astronomer,
Kepler, saw upon it the image of Italy
The ancients recognized the resemblance
of the moon to the human face, for the
historian Plutarch wrote treatise con-
tradicting the vulgar idea. 'Great
FOOLS" said he, ''are they who think
that they see face on the moon. That
which they think they see is an illusion.
It. is caused by fatigue of the eye, which
makes light and shade where there is
only uniformity"
How greatly he was mistaken was
shown afterwards, when the telescope
was invented. Under the powerful eye
of this instrument the surface of the
moon exhibits anything but uniformity
It equals in roughness the toughest por-
ton of the earth's surface. Huge noun
tain craters are scattered over the disk,
and within many Of these are smaller
mountains. Deep chasms and high
ridges are abundant. From some of the
mountains long rays extend in every
direction like streams of lava.
The telescope dispels all those resem.
blances which are SO apparent to the
naked eye, but even with this aid not all
people see alike. One ikens the moon
to green cheese, while another thinks
it resembles body of water frozen over
with the rifles on its surface, and the
craters are air-holes in the ice. An.
other simile, perhaps the most ridiculous
of all, is that of pot of boiling mush
the craters being the bubbles Of air as
they come up and burst on the surface
Some see only cold, desolate, dea6
planet, incapable of supporting life O.
| any kind, while others see valleys
streams, canals and other characteristics
of mother earth. Cincinnati CONNER
