Fnrfnnes OF The Rarings.


The Barings have been among tho
most famous Of English bankers. They
are of German STOCK, There is a kind
OF ecclesiastical flavor about them.
Their English founder was a Bremen
pastor, who set.lt d in this country. His
grandson married the niece OF an Eng.
lish archbishop. One of his descend
Uut became bishop of Durham. The
money was originally made in the rich,
profitable clothing business in the wess
of England. Ashburton gave title in
the peerage TO the chief of the house
of Barring 1t has been rule in
the house that when any one OF
them has got n title ia goes out
of the business. Sir Francis Barring,
the first great banker, who, dying in
1910, left fortune of $4,000, coo, had
three sons-IhOmas, Alexander and
| Henry, Thomas succeeding to the
baron ICY, gave up the business. Henry
lad a rather romantic reputation as a
| lucky gambler, who was fl quently able
| to brea:c the bank of gaming table.
He was the amazement of beholders
when he would sit down at a gaming
table at the Palais Royal-before such
tables were happily abolished-with
piles of gold and note before him.
The reputation of a successful gambler
was hardly suited to the intense
respectability OF The firm, and Mr. Henry
was ilduced to rUtire from the business.
Alexander Barring, often known as
Alexander the Great" sustained and
extended the fortune of the house. He
went to America, and there, the richest
banker in England, marie d the daugh-
ter of the richest citizen of the United
States. One of his magnificent trausac
tions possess historical importance,
After the conclusion of the great
European war he paid down sum
of 9l,000,000. by which France
was freed from the occupation
OF Russian, Austrian and German
armies. "There are six great powers
in Europe" said the Duc de Richelier
-" England, France, Russia, Austria
Prussia and Earring Brothers In 1873;
he was made Lord Ashburron, Two o
his sons held the title, and each suc
cessively retired from the business. TIL,
head of the firm, Thomas Barring, be
came chancellor of the exchequer il
Lord Melbourne's ministry, and an
other member, Lord Northbrook, ha
been governor general of India.--Ldn

WISE WORDS.

Belief is not in our power, but truth
fulness is.
Some mems attack is safer than their
protection.
True wisdom, in general, consists in
energetic determination.
The grumblers never work, and the
workers never grumble.
Devote each day to the object then II
time, and the evening will find some
thing done.
Most of our misery comes from our
fearing and disliking things that never
happened at sll.
Ii anything is possible for man and
peculiar to him, think that this can be
attained by thee.
What is really momentous and all i'm.
portant with us is the present, by which
the future is shaped and colored.
There are persons who do not know
how to waste their time alone and hence
become the scourge of busy people.
He who troubles himself more than
he needs grieves also more than i,
necessary, for the same weakness which
makes him anticipate his misery makes
him enlarge it too.
He that does good to another does
goJd also to himself, not only in the
consequence but in the very act ; fol
the consciousness of well-doing is il
itself ample reward.
Life is a book of which we have bu
one edition. Let each days actions, a
they add their pages to the indestructi
BILE volume, be such as We shall be will
ing TO have an assembled world read.

What 4 Volcano Can Do.

Cotopax in 1888. threw its fiery
rockets 1900 feet above its crater. while
in 1854, the blazing mass, struggling
for an outlet, roared so that its awful
voice was heard at distance of more
than 600 miles. In 1897 the crater of
Tuugurangua, one OF the greatest peaks
of the Andes, flung out torrents of mud
which damned up the rivers, opened
new lakes, and in valleys 1000 feet
wide made deposits 600 feet deep.
The stream from Vesuvius, which, IN
1887, passed through Tore del Greco
contained 32,OOO,O0O cubic feet cf
solid matter, and in 1903, when
Torre del Greco was destroyed a
second time, the mass Of lava
amounted to 45, 10000 cubic feet Iu
1850 Etna poured forth a food which
covered eighty four square miles OF sur.
face and measured nearly 1000 600, GOO
cubic feet. On this occasion the sand
and scoria formed the Monte Rosini,
near Nicholosa, cone two miles in
circumference and 1000 feet hiph. The
stream thrown cut by Etna in 1916 was
in motion at the rate of yard a day
for nine months after the eruption; and
it is on record that the lava of the same
mountain, after terrible eruption. was
not thoroughly cool and consolidated
for ten years after the event In the
eruption of Vesu ius, A, D. 79 the scoria
and ashes vomited forth far exceeded
the entire bulk of tie mountain; while
in 1000 Etna disgorged tw nty times its
own mass. Vesuvius has ten5 It's a b 's

up 1000 feet above the summit. Coto-
paxl has projected block of 100 cubic

terrible eruption on record, sent its
ashes as far as Java, a distance of 3OO

On a Mexican Farm.

We are in the midst of level valley,
with gently sloping mountains on all
the boundaries. The leading crops are
maize, barley and maguey. The tlachi-
quero goes around every day, with his
donkey carrying wine skins, collecting
the sweet sap from the maguey to make
the pnique. He pours it into vats of
skin in his department to ferment,
treats it in his own way for a fortnight
or more, and then it is ready for sale.
We see sometimes forty plowmen come
in and uuyoke their teams of an even
ing. The agricultural Implements of
the larger sort in use are American, but
plows, sps des, picks and the like are
manufactured at Apulco, near by,
more cheaply. There are interesting
homemade wooden forks and shovels
yet remaining. Among the rest the
veritable Egyptian plow, of wood with
but an iron point, Is much more in use
than the modern sort. And for it's pur-
pose of turning shallow furrows and
blowing between the rows of maize it
appears, to tell the truth, not i'll adapted.
The ground is treated by irrigation, no
less than eleven large dams, one OF
them creating a lake two miles long,
being formed for this purpose. The
portions of land used for cultivation
are taken irregularly in various parts OF
the estate, according to their proximity
to these. Each has its name, as Las
Animas, San Antonio the Larger, San
Antonio the Less.
But it is grazing country, and the
chief industries are the raising of ami.
mals and the making of butter and
cheese. The greater part of the cattle
are hornless, which is effected by sim
pie process OF soaring the tender horn
when sprouting, after which it does not
increase. The idea is worth attention
by American farmers and those who
have to do with the transportation Of
cattle. The calf here remains with i'll
mother under all circumstances. 1t il
a quaint sight at mllking-time to see il
lassoed fast to its mother, whose hind
legs are also lassoed, waiting, by nC
means patiently, the conclusion of tn
ceremony. Each of the departments il
under the command of its own chief
and an accurate supervision and record
! is made of the whole,-HdrpsTs Ma9Gsin

The GlOssOgraDh.

The London journal, Iron, gives an
account of another addition to the
many scientific wonders OF recent years.
Herr A. Gentilli, of Vienpa, has in
vented an instrument-named by him
the glossograph-consisting of an in
genious combination of delicate levers
and blades which, placed upon the
tongue and lips and under the nostrils
of the speaker, are vibrated by the
movements of the former and the
breath flowing from the latter. The
vibration is transmitted to pencils,
which transcribe the several signs pro
duced by the action of tongue and lip
and the breath from the nostrils upon
strip of paper moved by mechanical
arrangement. Similar to Shorthand, q
special system of writing, which may
fifty be termed glossography, is pro
duced, based upon the principle o.
syllable construction and combination
of consonants.
