A PROMINENT writer gives an in
teresting account Of the school saw
ings banks in several European
countries. He says. the plan was
suggested in France many years ago,
and has already extended to Ger
many, Hungary, Italy, Belgium and
Holland. The system is very sim
pie. The teacher tells his children
that he is ready TO receive their
small savings. and explains to them
how they may be made to increase.
He gathers in the pennies and cent
ines, keeps register with the name
of each, depositor, and when the sum
amounts to q franc or more places il
in a neighboring savings bank OF
lends it to the State. The pupil
keeps duplicate account of his de-
posiss, and can only draw any part
of them with the consent of the pa
rsots-er guardian. The plan has
proved very attractive to- children.
In Ghent, out of 45 900 pupils there
are Is, 900 depositors, each for more
than one franc. In France the mum
Der Of school banks is 10,261. with
213,135 depositors. The whole
amount deposited by the children
was, in 1880, more than one million
dollars. The system is worthy the
attention of educators everywhere.

Cconsinuued from yesterday


One day she finds the fathers smile
lurking around the baby's mouth. the
next. catches CLEAN of his fun-loving
spirit in the laughing brown eyes.
II seems TO be a divine balance in the
Law of nature that what she takes from the
body should 90 to iced the soul. which &c
counts for the many lovely spirits we find
enshrouded in rude. misfitting garments
of flesh.
And especially to all sufferers from that
dread malady, consumption, does God
send. a. a recempense for pain. larger
share OF His grace and benediction than is
ever vouchsaied to Us more sturdy ones /;
or whence that beautiful patience. that
calm endurance, that brave patience. that
marks them as his own. and makes Us feel
that we are entertaining angels una
wares?
The disease that dwisdled Elsie's small
form, expanded her mind and heart. and
made her. at six years OF age. as quickly
sympathetic as a woman, while as artless-
ly simple as child.
Step by step she has unconsciously led
her mother 10 that higher level on which
her own little feet have so long rested,
until tonight Alice stands in the sight Of
a gracious God. rounded and complete in
character.
A soul shriven through suffcring-after
much trial made meet for His kingdom.
In place Of pride has come Christian hu-
mility. and conquered will has brought
with it a fine new courage.
Happiness has not entered her heart, but

The Best Filter.

In an article in the Popular Science
Monthly entitled "Clean Drinking
Water,n Edwin ]. Howe, NJ. D., says
The japanese use a porous sandstone hol
lowed in the shape of an egg, through
which the water percolates into recep
taclc underneath; the Egyptians reson
to a similar device; the Spaniards use
porous earthen pot. But these and othel
similar contrivances can not be thorough
ly cleansed after the most thorough rims
ing, some impurities will remain in tn,
pores of the stone. Spongy iron and
carferal are open to the same objection
they will answer well for short tins
but soon become contaminated by pollu'
tion retained in their pores. Sponge
cloth, and felt, unless cleaned every day
or two with hot water, Will do more
harm than good, and the average servant
girl will not clean them or any other I'LL
tel unless under the eye Of her mistress.
The various forms of filters that are
screwed to the faucet have only to bt
hastily examined to be discarded, as there
| is not sufficient filtering material in them
I to be of much utility, and they very soon
/ become foul and offensive. Buck says,
There is no material known which can
be introduced into the small space of a
tap-flte- and accomplish any real purlli-
cation of the water which passes through
at the ordinary rate Of flow"
The various complicated closed filters,
filled with any material which cannot be
removed for cleansing, condemn them
selves. No amount of pumping water
through them at different angles, which
is at all likely to be used, can cleanse
them of the impurities that adhere to the
mass and in the pores of the tiltering ma,
terial used. Parkes, in his emanuel oI
Practical Hygiene, says: 'Filters, where
the material is cemented up and cannot
be removed, ought to be abandoned al
together"
The various metal filters in which th'
water comes in contact with metallic sur
faces. either iron, lead, timed iron, o
, zinc, are Objectionable from their appre
ciabe influence upon the water retained
in them for any considerable time. Pur
block tin is the least Objectionable o
, any of the metals.
The aim of most filters is to remoy
: impurities from the water speedily-a
:, rapidly as it escapes from the faucet
y Experiment shows that effective tiltratio
cannot be accomplished in this way, q
the water does not remain long enoug
: in contact with the filtering material use
: to become purified Of much that migf
e be removed by slow filtration or percol'
ton through the same appliance. Of
the filtering materials mentioned, it seen
. to me that sand and charcoal are the tW
y y that accomplish the best results, and
II these vegetable charcoal is the best.

EIectricity in VINEYARDS.

M. Henri de Parville, in his Scientific
Reoieo, calls the attention of vine grow
ers to the services electricity might rem
der them in protecting their vines from
the disastrous effects caused by sudden
fall in the temperature. For several
wears past vines in France have been pro-
tected from the effects of cold winds or
sudden changes in the temperature by
artificial clouds of smoke, produced by
the burning of tarred straw and other
combustibles. Vine growers have learned
to appreciate the benefits of this system !;
but it has drawback which Nj. de Par
vile points out-namely, that to light
the fires at the right moment in the nl9Ht
time, it is indispensable to have a thor
oughly reliable watcher, to whom drowsf-
ness is unknown, and who is ever ready
to consult the thermometer BY the aid
of electricity new order OF things
would, he remarks, be introduced, and
the safety of the vines would no longer
depend ON the night watcher. A vine
grower has only to place in his vineyard
one or more electric batteries similar to
those used to fire mines, the wires being
connected with the fires prepared at reg
utar distances. When the thermometer
falls toward zero, by means of very
simple arrangement it causes the electric
current to pass along the wires; the fire.
are lighted, the air being filled with tht
protecting smoke clouds. NJ. de Parvill'
cites one or two instances in which hi
system has been most successfully em
ployed with very little outlay to TIE vim
growers. The plan might be worth
trial. London Standard.

A Congrsssman,s War story.

Congressman Blackburn, of Kentucky,
told this story to knot of listeners IN
Washington;
"Did ever tell you a funny thing
that happened to me during the war.
Well, it was in this way: Four days be-
fore | went to the front with my regi-
ment we had little girl baby. She is
now grown, and you always see her with
me at any social gathering. Well, in
our army, the furloughs came very rare
ly. When we got into line there was no
great chance for a man to get home. 1t
was about three years afterward that Il
few of us were one night going down
the Mississippi on a river steamer. l
had been sick, and was returning to my
command, but pretty well broken up,
even then. AS for money, we did not
have any, and the night was hot, as
laid down on the deck, my throat almost
parched with thirst. Pretty soon a
little girl came along with big glass of
lemonade. tell you it looked good to
me. She saw me cycling it, stopped a
minute, looked doubtfully at me and
finally came up to my side. You look as
if you wanted something to drink, she
said, and offered me the glass. 1t was
not quite the square thing to do, but
took it and handed it back to her empty,
1t was like nectar to me. Then | thanked
the little creature and sent her away
Soon after, just like every child, she
came back leading her mother to SEE
the poor soldier. BY Jupiter! it was my
wife, and the girl was the baby whom
had last seen as baby just born. Yo'
can imagine the reunion. They wer.
with my brothers family and happened
to be going down the river That wa
the only time during the four years
fighting that saw my wife and baby
and under--these circumstances wha
man would ever forget it?'
