SCHOOL sAVINGs BANKs.

If the children who attend our public schools could there be taught the value of money and acquire habit of economy those
 schools would be still more valuable than
 they are. In some of the European coun-
 tries an experiment of this kind has been
 made, and very satisfactory results are re-
 ported. In France, Italy, Prussia, Switzer-
 land, Belgium and other countries school
 savings banks have been established for many years. The idea is said to have orig mated in France, where the first school sav- ings bank was established some forty-seven years ago. For a few years they fiourished at Paris, Marseilles, Lyons, Amiens and other cities, and gradually were extended over the country, until to-day they exist in every i'm portant town and village. There are now over 10000 of these school savings banks in France, and they have deposits amounting to 4, 246,613 francs, equal to considerably over $SOO,OOO of our money. In the city of Ghent, in Belgium, 13, 900 of the 45,OOO pu- pills of the city schools have each deposits exceeding one franc. A Washington gentle man has been investigating the French sys- tenn of school savings and gives an account of the method of operating.
 After having made arrangements with the nearest savings bank the director of the school informs his pupils that he is ready to receive their small savings (the amount of deposit must not exceed five francs and that as soon as the deposits amount to one franc he will transfer them to the regular savings bank. The director fixes day in each week when, at the beginning of the school, the de- posits will be received. He has before him a register in which he enters the names of the depositors and the amount deposited. Each pupil keeps duplicate account on single sheet of paper with sufficient col umns for the whole year. This is the simple process so far as the schoolroom is concerned. The transactions outside of the scboolroom the relations with the savings banks are also very simple. In the beginning of every month the teacher adds the deposits of every pupil, and, in case they exceed one franc, he deposits the even francs at the sav- ings bank, and keeps the amounts of less than one franc on the register of the school savings bank. The bank books of the de- positors are kept by the teachers as long as the pupils attend school. When a pupil leaves school, the book is handed over to his parents or guardians. No pupil can with draw part, or the whole of his deposit, without the consent of his parents or guar dians.
 If economy can be successfully taught in the public schools, and the experiment in European countries seems to show that it can be, the matter is well worth tho attention of American educators. In no country is such teaching more needed than in the United States.

One Mans Queer Work.

Eurnfshfng Nooses for Use All Over the
 United sfafes-AII that Could be Learn
 ed About Him i'm the City where He
 Works-A Talk with a Maker of Police
 and Constable Equipments.
 From the New York Sum-
 There is a man in this city who has fur nished the nooses for very large number of the hangings in the United States for thirty years. and yet with such secrecy has he piled his trade that there are only three or four officials in the State who are acquainted with him in his business capacity. This myste- rious person is said to have furnished the moose that broke in Marion, s. C., on Friday last, at the hanging of the negro Jim Black.
 Black had been sentenced twice for the murder of crony, Eli Wilcox, whom he shot in the neck while intoxicated on the night of Feb, g, 1880. He was courageous when the time came for him to meet his doom, and as- cended the scaffold without a tremor. He smiled broadly when he stood upon the plat form, but the smile forsook his face when the moose was slipped around his neck. The eallows was so arranged that the floor fell at movement of spring, allowing the culprit to drop six feet before the rope frightened. When Sheriff Johnson gave the signal the spring was released and the trap dropped. The murderer fell through the trap, and the rope frightened as it reached the limit but the weight was too great and it broke, having frightened enough to nearly strangle the prisoner to death The sheriff and his assistants took Black from beneath the scaffold and removed the black cap from his face. The muscles were twitch- ing spasmodically. and there. was slight movement of the eyelids After while the

 A couple of young men went out fishing the other day, and on returning were going past a farm house and felt hungry. They yelled to the farmers daughters ''Girls, have you any buttermilk ?"

The Murdered Car.

From the New York Herald's London Dispatch.I
 Sala sends ghastly description of the late Czar's appearance after the embalming, as shown by the photographs, of which thou sands are offered for sale in St. Petersburg. He says:
 1.-The features are seen in profile, the left side of the face exposed, the sparse hair carefully brushed from the temples the griz- zled mustache and whiskers carefully trimmed and kempt; but the eyes mere sunken wrecks, and there seems to have been dire wound on the cheek, the marks of which have been partially concealed by art. The head reposes on pillow of white satin. The body is clothed in the green uniform tunic of the Preobrajnsh Guard, with mas sive epaulettes of gold bullion. The right hand, partly bent rests peacefully on the breast close to a medallion of some image sacred to the Russo Greek communion but with this head and torso ends, they say, all that remains of the mortal coil of Alexan- der IL. there being nothing more of the shattered form for the craftsmen of the old Egyptian mystery to work their gloomy skill upon From the trunk downward the de- struction caused by the explosion had been thorough"
 PRAYING WHERE HER FATHER FELL.
 Another correspondent gives the following details relating to the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, whose doings naturally interest the English people:
 "The Duchess of Edinburgh bears her great loss with characteristic fortitude. On her arrival last week, and after visiting the chamber of death she was greatly overcome. and sleep refused to assuage her grief. The next morning, however, she visited the Prin cess Urieffat and remained more than an hour. In the evening the Duke and Duchess, incognito. paid visit to the spot where the fatal bomb struck the Emperor. This is now enclosed and planted with cypress trees af< <paa tho inf covered with memorial wreaths and with Ikon, or the Sacred Picture, placed at one end, silver lamp burning before it. Here the Duchess remained, praying for some minutes. The people standing near, seeing g lady in deep mourning kneeling in the snow, were much moved. This spot, as ! might be expected, is visited by crowds daily; | it may be from natural morbid curiosity on the part of some, but also from unaffected | reverence and esteem on the part of others. The municipality has decided to build me- | moriaI church on the spot, in accordance with the wish of Alexander III"

A Beautiful Home to Be Built at Fargo.
Mr.. George Wirth, architect, of this
city, is preparing the working plans for
a beautiful villa to be built by Mr.. E. S.
Tyler, of Fargo, on grounds he owns in
that city, which are bordered on three
sides by bend of the Red river. The
house, which will occupy ground space
of about 56x66 feet, will be built of yell
low brick, ornamented with red brick
and Ohio blue stone. Its prominent ex-
terror features will be massive tower,
high roof to the main part of the build
ing, and broad piazzas on either
side and encircling the tower
and the rounded corners of the house.
A prominent interior feature will
be the old style of the first story-open
beams. hard wood, natural finish and
grand fire places. The rooms of both
first and second story will be of large
size, and five third story rooms will be
furnished by the tower and the high roof.
From all the tower rooms, in three di-
rections there will be fine views of the
river and from the upper rooms broad
views of the valley and city. Through
out, the house is to be supplied with
modern improvements, and the architect
understands it is Mr.. Tyler's intention to
have it thoroughly constructed by day
labor under rigid superintendent. 1t
will be home worthy of any city and an
evidence of the solidity Of the young
city of Fargo.
