The Mule rs n Trainer.

In the mining region of Pennsylvania
where disputes of almost all kinds are
settled by fisticuffs, the mule plays an
important part in the miners training
for battle. He approaches the mule,
which seems to be sleeping, and gives
him a few taps on the rump with the
bare knuckles as q reminder that he is
wanted to take part in sparring match.
The mule responds, his blows are par
oed, and the sturdy miner gets in one

The British Postal Savings Bank.

The postal savings bank is not intended
to be a general bank of deposit, but
rather for those who have little to de-
posit, and who wish safety first and profit
afterward. Less than twenty-five cents
is not taken. but plan has recently been
adopted by which an equivalent of penny
deposits is allowed, though such depos-
its must amount to twenty-five cents be-
fore it is entered on the depositor' book.
Each depositor must certify that he has
no deposits in any similar institution.
More than $3.50 will not be received in
any one year, and no deposits can be
made beyond $3.50 for one person. In
terest to the amount of two and one
half per cent. is allowed, and when prln-
cipal and interest both amount to 1000
interest also ceases.
That is the utmost sum that can stand
to any one name. Every precaution is
made to keep it within the scope of its
original purpose-that of peoples saw
ings bank. The number of persons to
whom accounts were standing at the
close of the official year of 1881 was
2,1S5, 900, and the total deposits were
nearly $40, 100000. The money re-
ceived by the department in the shape of
deposits is laid out in the purchase of
Government bonds, on which the inter-
est is three per cent, thus saving one
half of one per cent. to the Government.
A part also is laid out in other approved
securities, on which the interest is some
times three and one-half or four per
cent. thus giving still larger margin
of profit. The net result is a profit to
the department, though have not fig
ured the amount of this profit. London

Xantippe.

The typical shrew in every age has
been Xantippe the unfortunate wife OF
Socrates. She is pictured as brawling,
scolding woman. following the philosO-
pher to the market-place and ordering
him home. and sometimes even drag.
ging him by the cloak in order to give
force to her arguments. She is COM
monty understood to have been liberal,
even to prodigality, in the use of her
tongue, by no means scrupulous in point
of broomstick and tirewood. and when
the occasion seemed to demand, she had
little hesitation in using bucket of
dirty water, which she Kept handy for
emergencies. Socrates thoroughly I'M
derstOod these peculiarities of his ex-
cellent wife, and thought none the less
of her on account of them, but some of
his friends, who saw her faults without
appreciating her good qualities. have
represented her in the most I'M
available colors. The truth was
that Socrates was SO much of a
talker that he often neglected to
provide for his family, and Xantippe,
being most estimable housewife, re-
sented his forgetfulness by the only
means in her power. No doubt she had
her trials. The old philosopher, in his
search after the "Unknowable," often
put on his cloak after breakfast and went
down town to meet his friends, entirely
oblivious of the fact that the wood had
not been cut and that Xantippe had told
him to bring home the loaves and the
roast in time for dinner. The dinner
hour would pass unnoticed. while the
True, Beautiful and Good was the
subject under discussion, and late in the
afternoon here would come old Socrates
and a gang of his fashionable compan-
ions, whom he had invited to dinner with
not stick of wood cut and not thing
in the house fit to eat. No doubt Kan
tippe demonstrated many time. but the
old fellow always tried to comfort Ler
with the sentiment: .'If they are worthy
men, that cold hash and those biscuits
left from breakfast will satisfy them. If
they are upstairs, such fare is good
enough for them" This was no doubt
true enough, but like a great many
truths. perfectly unsatisfactory. and
there is some reason to excuse Kan
tippe's violence when so thin dodge
was resorted to for the hundredth time.

The Messenger Of the Sea.

The Vice Consul for Sweden and Nor
way at Bordeaux, Mr.. Gundersen, sug-
gests that the time-honored bottle as o
means of sending messages from the sea
should be replaced by the small red bal
Ions which at present serves no better
purpose than to delight children and
torment everybody else. They will float
rapidly before the wind. keep their con-
tents dry, and are noticeable object at
a considerable distance. One of them
was recently thrown overheard from one
of Mr.. Gundersen's ships which was
ashore near Dover, and two hours later
the letter was posted Dover by an un-
known hand. 1t is quite possible that
such balloons. made of tougher material
than those sold to children the world
over, might prove useful
