Banking IN Springfield.

We publish this morning the certificate Of
H. W. Cannon, Esq, Comptroller OF the Cur
rency, extending the corporate existence of
the Mad River National Bank, of Springfield,
to the close of business on January IL, A. D.
1905, according to the act OF Congress of July
IL, 1882.
This bank in 1865 succeeded to the business
of the Mad River Valley Branch Of the State
Bank of Ohio, which institution had a very
prosperous career. 1t never passed dividend.
and closed up by paying back to its share
holders the par of its stock and one hundred
per cent premium.
The Mad River National Bank of Spring.
field has also been quite prosperous, and upon
inquiry made at correct sources we have OBJ
tanned the following information:
A, the present time the bank has capital
OF $500, 900, and surplus fund of $s3, 1855 Sc,
and commences its extended life in q good
condition. During the past twenty years its
earnings have reached the sum of $629, ,996. 80,
and it has paid over to the stockholders in
dividends the sum Of $546, ,64l.36.
From the foregoing statement Of facts we
are authorized to make the following con-
clusion: that the management of the bank Is
entitled to some credit for its success, and the
city of Springfield must have been, all the
time, in q strong business position to have 50
well sustained, not only this bank, but four
other National Banks.

No New Yeara' CnllA.

The ime-honored aud pleasing custom OF
New Years calls is fast dying out, if not al
ready dead, in Springfield as well as else
where, and many reasons may be assigned
for the final wearing away of this once very
popular American manner OF celebrating the
first dxy of the new year. The inclination
OF the ordinary American mind, in seasons
of festivity, is toward too much indulgence
in e1hilirxtinQ stimulants, and while the la
dies who dispensed the sweet, weak wine in
small doses did not wisely consider that a
number of such doses, supplemented by the
friendly tips Of something stronger at the
bar, had a bewilderiug effect on the legs
tongue. and general department of the young
gentlemen who honored their "open houses"
on New Years day.
So generally had intoIication followed
New Years calling, that the newspapers
never failed to point q comicality on
the young man who went forth to call
arrayed in the best of style in the morning,
but returns home in a patrol wagon or on
the conventional shutter, at eventide.
1t has come to pass also, that New Years
calls fail to provide cloak for booziness, and
the booze gone the real backbone of pleas
ing custom is shattered beyond recall.
Now it is almost as much as q young
mans reputation is worth to sally forth on
New Years day in his calling attire, button
hole boQuet and other festive paraphernalia,
because it is 60 generally understood that he
will be drunk before night, or ought to be,
that the errand boy, hopeful of the prospec-
tive fee, follows him at . respectable dis
tance with a cooling hoard.
Another cause for this extinction is that it
costs too much to keep a high-toned, free
lunch house even for one day in the year,
and hence many have abandoned it. Then
again fellow can send highly ornamental
card to his lady friend, and get roaring
drunk at the club or saloon. with
the boys, in his business suit. So it appears
that the hilsrity of the occasion is removed
from the parlors on the fashionable avenues
to the club-rooms or gilded apartments Of
public resort, and the proceeds OF the occasion
90 directly to the vendors Of the festive gin
cock tail.
There Is no reason, however, why the
genial good cheer, the sweet cider and GIN
ger-bread hospitality OF New Years day
should not mark the advent of new year in
the calendar of our lives, or that its hopeful
cheerfulness and good will should not extend
to every day in the full round year.

Custer and Young.

There is a good one told by General
Pierce Young. which We print in cor
rected shape. Custer and Young were
messmates and classmates, and deyo-
ted friends at West Point. In the war
they were Major Generals of cavalry
on opposing sides. One day General
Young was invited to breakfast at the
Hunter mansion in Virginia The beau
tiful young ladies had prepared smok-
ing breakfast, to which the General
was addressing himself with ardor,
when a shell burst through the house.
Glancing through the window he saw
Custer charging toward the house at
the head of his staff. Out the window
Young went. calling to the young Ia
dies: "Tell Custer I leave the break
fast for him." Custer enjoyedit heart
lily, and looked forward with pleasure
to the dinner in the distance. In the
meantime Young. smarting over the
loss of his breakfast and his hasty re-
treat, drove the Federal line back. and
by dinner time was in sight of the
Hunter mansion again Custer, who
was Just setting down to dinner, laughed
and said: That's Pierce Young COM
ing back. knew he wouldn't leave me
here in peace. Here's my picture
give it to him, and tell him his old class
mate leaves his love with this excellent
dinner" And out of the window he
went and away like flash, while the
Georgia General walked in and sat
down to dinner.-Atlant0 COnstitntioa.

Steel Plates for the Forth Bridge.

1t is a pretty sight to see ship-plates
or plates for bridges rolled. Let us
look for an instant at the "three-high"
rolls engaged in rolling plate for the
Forth bridge. A little detachment of
men is laid on to deal with a plate
weighing some two tons and two hun
dred weight. The great mass of steel
is being raised TO the heat necessary
for rolling in furnace in the immense
building devoted at Landore to rolling
and hammering purposes. At the
proper moment the furnace is opened
and the luminous mass is dragged from
its burning bed onto light. but suffi-
ciently strong, truck, and pushed quick
ly toward the rolling-mills. An ingot
or "bloom" of the great weight speci-
fed is not easy to move, and it is anus
ing to see the skill with which it is
dealt with. Wheeled at white heat
up to the rolls" the mass is at first as
it were reluctantly accepted, and pass
es into their jaws with some difficulty.
Then it becomes by degrees flatter and
fiatter until it seems that it may become
q plate. Backward and forward. spurt-
ing out flames as the jaws of the roll
ing mill close upon it, the great mass
of incandescent steel is kneaded as if it
were dough. and flattened out to the re-
quired size. As the fiery sheet pours
out of the rolls boys run beside it with
brooms soaked in water to wash off the
oxidized skin of the metal, and thus
leave a clean surface While this is 60
ng on at one set of rolls, Others are
turning out plates and girders, angles
and rods, and the iron floor on which
we stand becomes so hot that we are
glad to move into pool of water to
cool our burning soles. One by one the
great plates are rolled and laid out on
the floor In the course of rolling they
have become stretched little at the
sides, so that they have the look, as
they lie red-hot on the ground, of the
skins of mighty beasts recently torn
from them and flung down by the hunt
ers. Scarlet and crimson in every
shade, they are allowed to cool to a
deep grey before they are cut by ma
chine. which makes nothing of their
weight and thickness, into the exact
parallelograms required for the Forth
bridge and for ship building purposes,
after which they are stacked in heaps
ready for delivery.-English 1 Austrat-

bald-headedness is sign OF certain kind
OF culture. 1t is a city fashion. The
young rural roosters do not take to it
much. The great, grand shocks of hair
that still crown the farmers sons are
a sight to see. 1t you want to take cogni-
zance of the demands which our civilza-
ton makes upon the hair, you must go
into the stores and offices OF our towns
and cities.
And thus you are led to inquire into the
causes of the masculine bald head Why
is it that there are so very many more
bald-pated old men than ditto old women
Some say that men do more thinking,
and think their hair of This won't do at
all; for where the woman has intellect
enough, as she often has, to be the head of
the family, she still has the hair of the
head OF the family.
Others maintain that it is because men
wear unventilated hats and women don't
There is probably something in this; but,
If it were sufficient, then il would explain
why the old farmers, who wear their hats
all the time except when they eat and
sleep, are not more generally bald-and
they are not-thau the old merchants and
the old lawyers, who rarely have their hats
on The indoor, Undated people of the
stores and Offices, as has been remarked,
are the baldest part of our population,
while their wives and daughters have as
good hair, on the average, as the women
of the country.
What, then, is the reason that men-old
or young-so far outstrip women in bald
headedness2 There are two reasons
there is third, which is too physiological

count for it.
But any adequate discussion of the two
reasons would extend this article to undue
proportions; and therefore We must neces-

Ammoniatsd baking powders--that is,
baking powders in which carbonate Of an-
monia Is used as an ingredient, and which
eIhsle an odor OF ammonia when heated
are classed by many eminent physicians and
sanitsrians as superior to all others. Profess
sor Hassell, of London, who is recognized a.
highest authority on the subject of food
hygiene, commends in the Strongest terms
the use OF carbonate of ammonia as a leaven-
ing agent, stating its great advantage to be in
its perfect volatility, which permits it to be,
by the heat Of baking, entirely thrown into
leavsning gas whereby the bread is
raised. The experiment with heat
would seem to indicate the superior, not
the inferior, value OF such baking powder.
The little heat that is impaired to it when
held over gas jet lamp, or stove, suffices to
resolve the carbonate Of ammonia into leaveu-
ing gas and throw it off, The first heat of
baking, therefore, will efiectualIy develop all
the gas, thoroughly leayen the Loaf, and dis
sipate the gas-producing ingredients OF
powder of this kind and this is the highest
test of perfect baking powder Where
other alkalies alone are used they are not iu-
frequently retained, unresolved, through the
whole process of baking, and remain an un-
wholesome ingredient In the finished bread
The carbonate OF ammonia cannot be used as
substitute for cream OF tartsr-N. Y.
