arrived on the day Of circus. The
proprietor proposed to suspend the
morning performance and hold the in
auguration ceremonies in the tent
His offer was accepted, and the circus
people joined in the procession. A
platform was erected on the right side
of the ring, and on it sat eight ministers

the close of the ceremonies, when the
tent was cleared, the people bought
tickets, and the second show began.

The total number of deposits increased
from "a 1921 OPP in 1882 to ga, 535, 431.
The amount of the deposits last year
was only EOS ,128, 8O6, as against G29,-
780, 212 in 1882; but the latter was an
exceptional year, as the very liberal
measure relating to savings banks,
which was passed in 1881, came into
force. The amount Of Withdrawals al
so showed a falling off of more than
seven and half millions sterling, and
at the close of last year the total value

One of the most conducive, although,
perhaps, unintentional compliments to
the common sense of the American peo-
pie and the stability of our institutions,
is this from the London Pail Mall Ga
zette: "The closely contested election

on the stock market than the report that
King Alfonso had a cold in his head
would have upon the Spanish bourse."

Our Place as Beer Drinkers.

The Internal Revenue Department
reports that the amount of beer which
paid taxes in this country last year was
588,000,000 gallons. Adding to this
the amount exported and evading the
tax brings the total up to about 600,-
100000 gallons. This makes the United
States the third in the list of beer pro-
aucing countries in the world. The
number of breweries- in this country
does not compare with that of other
countries, the breweries here doing
their work on a larger scale. And,
while they make two-thirds as much
beer as the brewers of England, their
number is one tenth as many. England
makes more beer than any other. coun-
try in the world, her $4,000 breweries
burning out 99O, 100000 gallons yearly,
while Germany, with rs, 900 breweries,
makes 90O,OOo,O00 gallons yearly.
Next comes the United States with
about 5000 breweries, making about

The Men with the Pig.
Detroit Free Press.


A few days ago two men, who were af-
forwards found to be Detroiters, arrived
in a town about fifty miles to the west Of
this, leading pig. 1t was perhaps big
enough and heavy enough to be called
hog, but they termed it pig, and as they
turned it over to the care of the landlord
at whose inn they proposed to rest for the
night one of the men explained:
''Be awful careful with that pig. He's
a daisy-a new breed just from Scotland.
We've sold him to a farmer out here for
500 and we don't want anything to happen
to him."
The landlord locked the pig up and then
began to think, and cOgitate, and suspect.
When the strangers had gone to bed he
called in some of the boys aud said:
''I've twigged the racket; them two fell
lows are sharpers, and that's guessing
pig. Tomorrow they will give you
chance to gLcss at his weight at 10 cents
guess, and you'll be cleaned out-only
you won't! As the fellows sleep we will
weigh their pig and beat their game"
Nobody slept until the pig was taken
over to the scales and weighed. He pulled
down 170 pounds to a hair, and the
villagers went home and hunted up their
nickels and dreamed of pigs, and scales,
and sharpers through the remainder of the
night.
| RsNeXt morning the pig was led around
in front, and before starting off on his
| Journey. one of the owners remarked to
the assembled crowd:
EGentleme, Pm going to weigh this pig
! directly. May be some Of you would like
! to guess on his weight? Pll take all
/ guesses at 10 cents each, and whoever
/ hits it gets 80 cents"
This provoked large and selected stock
/ of winks and smiles, but no one walked
! up until the pig man said that any one
/ person could guess as many times as he
] cared to, provided a dime accompanied
4 each guess. Then a rush set in. Three
i or four merchants put up fifty guesses
/ each. A Justice Of the Peace took thirty.
/ A lawyer said about twenty would do for
! him. Before there was any let-up in the
/ guessing about 600 had been registered
1 and paid for. Every soul of 'em guessed at
/ 170pounds. 1t was curious what unanimity
there was in the guessing, but the pigm
didn't seem to notice it. When all had
i been given chance the pig was led to the
/ scales, and 10! his weight was exactly ia
pounds.
''You see, gentlemen" explained the
weighs ITO pounds along about II O'Clock
at night, we feed him about five pounds OF
cOrn-meal in the morning before weighing
You forgot to take this matter into con-
siderationV
Then somebody kicked the landlord, and
he kicked the Justice, and the Justice
kicked merchant, and when the pig men
looked back from distant hill the whole
town was out kicking itself and throwing
empty wallets into the river.

Fashion Notes.

High crimped ruchings are worn with
sateen dresses.
High standing collars and small cuffs
are fashionable.
Black and very pale blue Is a pretty and
fashionable combination.
The latest novelty in parasol handles
are those covered with plush.
Bangs to be fashionable must be short
and only slightly waved or curled.
r. S. V. p. is never put ON invitations
nowadays. 1t is considered countryfed.
Pointed overdresses Topped high on one
side, and held by buster of ribbons, is a
pretty fashion for wash dress.
Green, in all the dark and bronze shades,
is better color for summer fatigue and
utility costumes than blue or brown.
The plastron of lace is frequently at
tached to a dog collar of black velvet for
ladies who do not find white around the
neck becoming.
Handkerchief with colored embroider-
ed borders in crimson and blue are worn
with morning toilets, fastened into the
belt, so as to form sort of rosette.
Black silk and Isle thread stockings are
worn with slippers. Some of them have
clocks of silk in different cOlors, but the
PLAIN black is generally preferred.
Pongee silks are among the favorite ma
terialS for summer wear. A dark ecru
made up with trimmings of ecru Irish
point looks stylish, and VIII stand a
/ great deal of wear.
The dressiest jerseys have white silk
! Jersey cloth waistcoats, and are made of
silk jersey cloth for the jacket in all colors
and black, and these are frequently deco
rated with embroideries Of fine beads.
/ Durable and pretty skirts for every
day wear are made of ticking; the wide
| stripes are the prettiest. If these skirts
are starched they will hold it for a long
time, and dust can be shaken from them.
Instead of black grenadines, black lace
dresses will he largely worn during the
summer. The skirts will be flounced to
