rh. Golden Ladder Of Charity

There are eight degrees OF steps, says
Maimonides, in the duty OF charity.
The first and lowest degree Is 70 give,
Int with reluctance or regret. Ihis Is
the oift of the hand but not OF the near:
The second is to give cheeifully, out
not proportionately to the distress u 'A0
sufferer.
The third is to give cheerfully and pro-
portionately, but not until we are sonc-
tied. ..
The fourth is to give proportionately,
cheerfullv. and even unsolicited but TO
put it in the poor mans hand, thereby
exciting in him the painful emotion OF
shame.
The fifth is to give charity in SUCH q
way that the distressed may receive tne
bounty and know their benefactor with
out their being known to him. Sucn
was the CONDUCT of some Of our ances-
tors who used to convey their charitable
gifts into poor peoples dwellings, taxing
care that their own persons aud names
should remain unknown.
Tie seventh is still more meritorlous,
namely, to bestow charity in such . way
that the benefactor may not know the
relieved objects, nor they the name OF
their benefactor Is was done by our
charitable forefathers during the exist
ence Of the temple. For there was - IN n
that holy building . place called the
Chamber Of Silence or Inostentation,
wherein the good deposited secretly
whatever their generous hearts sug-
gested, and from which the most respec-
table poor families were maintained with
equal secrecy.
Lastly, the eighth and the most meri-
torious Of all is to anticipate charity, by
preventing poverty; namely, to assist
the reduced brother either by consid.
cradle gift or q loan Of money, or by
teaching him trade, or by putting him
in the way Of business, SO that he may
eurn an honest livelihood, and not be
forced to the dreadful alternative of hold.
ing up his hand for charity.-Atser the

Worrying Over the Wear Of Gold Coin.


It is estimated that the average weekly
depreciation Of the $1,000, 900 in gold
held by the Boston banks is nearly $500.
or say $15, 200 per annum, the calcula-
ton being made on the recognized basis
that gold coin in use actually loses .
.hundredth of its weight in year.
The coin is packed in bags of s., 600
each. These bags are passed from bank
TO bank, and the constant friction which
10 made in handling and weighing wears
away the edges and faces of the coin, 80
that, sooner or later, bag falls short in
weight, aud valuable time, as well as
money, is lost in determining which bank
shall make good the deficiency-the
labt Is attached to each parcel, on Which
appear the names Of the banks through
which the bag has passed, being the only
means to aid in fixing upon the respon.
sible party. The Treasury Department
has refused to issue gold certificates for
large amounts, on the ground that it
would occasion trouble aud expense for
the Government. Other expad ,ents pro-
posed are, the appointment of an institu-
ton, not chartered by the United States,
as q gold depository for the national
banks, the interchange Of certificates
amorg the banks, and the establishment
Of the clearinghouse as q depository.
There are objections to each plan, and
another-the division of the burden
among five or six banks-is the one
which may be temporarily adopted until
Congress shall supply permanent rem
edy. The packing Of the coin in bags is
conventional way, aud it does not
reflect much credit on the inventive
faculties Of bank officers that they have
not thought out better. II the coin
were packed in boxes fitted with. grooves
in which the pieces would lie close aud
90 confined that they would not move in
course of transportation, and these
grooves we're made 30 that they could be
lifted out, with their contents. the loss
from friction in tumbling around the
bags and pouring out the coin a. though
It was sugar, would be very much re-
duoed.-Boston Transcript.

whipping Children.

Il Is significant sign Of the improve.
ment of our race. that the general feeling
to-day is against aogging as a means ot
reformation or punishment. It has been
abandoned, in great measure, all over
the world In the armies, and it no longer
forms part of the discipline of our
prisons. In the schools it is fast going
out Of favor, in fact, has almost d;sap
peared.
And Us regards parents and their chill.
dren, aogging is fast becoming obsolete.
In spite Of all attempts to palliate paren.
tai brutality, the factremains that it is bet.
ter to rule by love than fear aud that the
person who cannot succeed through love
IL not at to rule. There is no sentiment.
alism in this conclusion, for the accuracy
of the principle has been proved count.
less times by experience, with beings
of far lower grade than children ever are
and Of meaner quality of affection.
One phase of love explains the regard
OF the masses for political leader,
feeling somewhat similar attaches SOL
der to his favorite general, and the same
sentiment, though Of far coarser quality,
makes cut.throat the faithful slave OF
q pirate chief.
To say that the child, which is tie
only animal except the dog that will kiss
the hand which strikes it, cannot be con-
trolled through the feeling that keeps
turbulent men in order is worse than
untrue-it is iliotic. The parent who
confesses to inability to control child
without recourse to force merely admits
lack of affection enough to enable
patience to have its perfect work, for
some one often person Of no particular
intelligence or character-is sure not
only to fiud the child heart, but to fiud
it healthy and of full size.
