THE FUTURE OF THE NATIONAL
BANK CIRCULATION %!

"a The Government having decided to
use the surplus revenues in liquidating
the public debt, policy in accordance
with our views, as expressed several
months ago, has caused some uneasi.
ness among the national banks as to
the permanency of their present basis
of circulation. Already the 81 per
cents have been called in, and recently
a call for $15,OOO,OOO of the 3 per
cents was made, with a probability of
$50, 100000 before the end Of the
year. OF the 3 per cents there are
$500, 100000, of which the banks hold
5000, 100000. If the Government
continues to liquidate these bonds with
out making provisions to supply their
place with other bonds of less rate of
interest or non>interest bearing, it does
seem that the circulation of national
currency will be necessarily reduced.
While we believe there is no system of
banking safer or more satisfactory and
convenient to the commercial interests
Of the country than the present nations

not afford 10 let her surplus funds lie

thoroughly acquainted with the pro-
cess of bleaching and making fine goods
it will still be more profitable. Every
family who have even small orchard
should have an evaporation. j. The diff

evaporation. With the evaporation I'VE

fruits and how to manage to the best
advantage, then we will begin'to grow
rich and prosperous. In preparing our
fruit to ship green, we should select
none but fine, fancy'fruits. One barrel
of choice, we'll selected, perfect apples,

HOW TO MAKE OUR HOMES MORE
ss VALUABLE.
E. L. GARDENmRE.

This is question of interest to every
land owner in the State. If you own
one hundred acres of land and by a
little vigilant attention you add ten
dollars value per acre, it needs no ar
gument to- prove that you have added
one thousand dollars to your wealth.
Who would not be willing to double
the value Of his farm in FIVE years a?
There are few farmers in the State who
could not do it if they would resolve to
do it and work to that end. at is for
the purpose of augmenting the value
of their property that their labors and
exertlohs are applied year after year.
"The planting and successful culiva>
ton of fruit trees, and securing good
supply of fruit the year round, will do
more towards adding to the real value
as well as the market value of their
farms than can be accomplished with
the same outlay in any other way"
This requires very small outlay of
money and no wear and tear of muscle
and of life. Send to some seed store,
perhaps in New York, and get you a
gallon Of apple seeds and SOW them in
drills two and a half feet apart in the
spring. When they come up keep them
clear of weeds and you have thousands
of stocks and roots to which you can
graft in winter and make your own
trees. Plant also plums, pears, cher
ries, peaches, apricots, grapes, and all
other small fruits, such as.raspberries,
blackberries, etc. Plant also orna-
mental trees and shrubs about your
yards, that it may be pleasing to the
eye and inviting for comfort. The
planting of trees and ornament will
certainly increase the attraction given
by the more substantial and higher
market value of fruit trees and their
products. In sumner it is beautiful,
cool, refreshing retreat from the hot,
dusty lanes. In winter it modi6es the

tbs wonderfully striking ''Daniel Gabriel
Rossetti style" The most noticeable
features of this style OF beauty is the
hair, which is dyed green, and arranged
in "a pyramid fashion on the top
of the head. Strange to say, the green hair,
though of coarse looking unnatural, is very
pretty and odd. It is dyed the most delicats
and lovely shade of green known, namely,
Nile-green. The complexion that goes with
this hair must be like a soft, slightly -blnshing
peach, all cream and white. The eyes are
black or brown, the lips their natural color,
and the eyebrows dyed to match the hair.
Floating gowns, white in color, and composed
of airy, fairy tulle, or faille, are always worn
with this type of beauty, Every woman in
Paris had the mania for appearing like a
Daniel Gabriel Rosetti beauty" for a while,

A Lesson in POIiteness,
New York Times.

~
Politeness has developed to a remarkable
degree on one of the local trains running up
the Hudson river road. /, Nearly every
employe on the line knows the story.
President Rutter came into the Grand EN-
trail station to take a train, and asked a
brakeman; SIS this the train for Pough-
keepsie9" The object of the question was to
test the mans civility. The brakeman did not
know him and nodded his head. Mr.. Rutter
asked the question three times, and each
time received a nod in reply. Finally, he in
quired: Have you no tongue in your headg"
the man nodded again. Mr.. Rutter obtained
the name of the man. The brakeman found
it out and went to Mr.. Rutter. 81 think 1
made a mistake said he. Eyes, 1 should say
you did, y replied Mr.. Rutter; "you took me
for one of the patrons of the road. Out of
the money received from patrons you receive
u pay. They are entitled to every our
tesy, and as you cannot accord it to them, 1
will see to it that you are discharged at once. u
The man begged, promised to profit by the
lesson. and said he had a mother to support.
For the sake of his mother Mr.. Rutter said
he would overlook the mistake" but a repe-
tition would result in instant dismissal.

John Kemble's Singing Lesson.
london Society,".

John Kemble was dining at my uncie's one
day, and after the ladies had reached the
drawing-room my aunt requested a young
lady visitor-a very distinguished amateur
of that day-to sing. This she at once did,
and was just concluding HandeIs beautiful
air, "Wise Men Flattering," which she was
rather celebrated for executing with polished
grace, when the gentlemen coined the la
dies" as the phrase is. John Kemble, who,
plain truth obliges me to say, had evidently
taken far more wine than was at all good for
him, came siding up to the piano-forte, and
with solemn politeness said as well as his thick
u~tterance would permit: "You've beautiful
voish; but 'scuse me for obsherving that you
-you-don't know h-how to shing; but I'll
Tu-tesh you myself!' Concluding that such
an amazing offer must be simply irresistible,
he desired her to play the accompaniment of
a then very popular and very fine song Of &
think Battishills, 'Let Ambition Fire Thy
Mind" As the LAZY happened to know some
thing of this song, she at once began to play,
when the illustrious John, in his new charac-
ter-of sirging-master, to the intense aston
ishment of the now silent but amazed COM
pany. after steadying himself against the
piano, commenced with the utmost solem-
nifty, in a husky, cracked voice:
9Let a%mb-b-bition IF ire thy m-m-ind,
Thou w-wert born DER k-k-kingsh to re-re-
reign!'
but when he had arrived SO far be suddenly
stopped short, rubbed his forehead, and,
amid the applause of his guests, commenced
an elaborate apology, as if it was a great
public calamity, that he could not just then
recall the third line, but added, with lofty
and condescending gallantry: "You shee
jush what 1 mean; that's proper w-way to
shing; and that's w-w-way you ought shing."
I hardly need add that so important and
striking a lesson was not lost upon the fair
| vocalist, who was remembered afterward as
| the one and only 'pupiT' to whom the great
tragedian ever deigned TO give a singing les
: son.

In 1880 Gen. Fitzpatrick was one of the

One day several stumpers met at Mr.. Blaine's

have a prohibitory law in Maine, and you
have probably found out that it isn't always

"Au right" said the general, and off he

WHEN WOMEN ARE SEASICK
They Hate to Observation-Disclosures Make
Better Fight Than Men.
New York Sun. I

A ~ruddy-faced steward sat on the rail of
an ocean steamer yesterday morning and
clicked his heels together as he smoked q
brierwood pipe. He was short, stocky, and
CHEEKY.
"Were your ever seasick?' asked the re-
porter, planting himself before the steward.
ooh, yes, [ suffered once. I got over my
first attack without much trouble, however,
and have not been hit since. When [ first
went to sea I put myself in excellent condi-
ton for the malady. l hadn't taken a bit Of
care of myself for two weeks. 1 had been
eating good-by dinners for three days, and
kept it up all the night before I sailed.
The result was disastrous. I began to think
my case over when [ got over the attack, and
made up my mind that anybody could do a
good deal toward preventing seasickneSs by
careful dieting and a little medicine. l have
never been bothered since, and I've been at
sea for twelve years.
"You must see some very amusing cases Of
sea sickness?'
''They are seldom amusing to me-" said the
steward solemnly, because they always re-
call my own experience. Most cases are pa
thetic, though l smile sometimes when the
braggart keels over. On every trip we have
at least one man who boasts Of his ability to
Withstand sea sickness. He always says that
the trouble is as largely mental as physical,
and that a man of invincible determination
can ward it off by an effort of will. The fall
of this man to a condition of pitiable wretch
edness has its humorous features for us-not
for the man,

point of despair against the-what 1 might
call the improperly of the thing. She isn't
so much tortured by the pangs as she is wor-
| ried by the prospect of becoming disheYeled,
haggard, and dragged. She fights against
it to the last, and keeps up appearances as
long as she can hold up her head.
Then she becomes maudlin and pa
thetic. She takes to her room
and invariably asks three questions. First,
whether people die frequently of sea sickness,
then how many miles we are from shore, and
| lastly, when we VIII get there. She also
often asks me how deep the water is, and if
think it possible for any one to go seven days
without food. Tn doctor is always talked
| over. am asked time and again if I think
he is capable and efficient, and if 1 have con-

that she loses interest in the doctor, she
