Rumors cencerning the selvency OF
a private banker in a Michigan village
having obtained circulation, three of
his heaviest depositors organized
themselves into a committee to wait
upon HIM and ascertain the actual
condition of the bank.
Gentlemen replied the smiling
banker, nay assets are $45, coo and II
abilities to depositors less than $50,
900. y
The committee was entirely satisfied
and so reported; but week later the
banker wrote them from Toronto; i
forgot to mention that $40, 600 af my
assets consisted of my own notes of
hand to myself, whica / regard as en-
tirely worthless. When any one of
you comes this way please stop.

lvy-Clsd Walls.

The common belief that ivy trained against the walls of a dwell ling house produces damp walls and a general unhealthiness is fal. lacious. The very opposite is the case. If one will examine an ivy clad wall after a shower of rain he will notice that while tho overlap ping leaves have conducted the water from point to point until has reached the ground, the wall beneath is perfectly dry and dusty More than this thirsty shoots which force their way into every crevice of the structure which will afford a firm hold, act like suckers in drawing out any particles of moisture for their own nOnrish- ment. The ivy, i'll fact, acts like a great-coat, keeping tho house from wet and warm. One more virtue it has, in giving to the ugli- est structure an evergreen beauty. Ark. Ladies Journal.

Stichtific Authority.

typical case of allowable and legimate authority let us take the statement of Dr. Tyndall; that watery vapor, suspended ir the at- mosphere, acts as a powerful ab- sorbent of heat radiant from the earth. We accept the statement because it is undisputed by physi- cians who are competent to e1e- cute tests of 1t, and because, should ve choose to become instructed in the methods of research which Dr. Tyndall employs, we could verify his conclusions os many inquiries have done. Genuine authority gives us proofit predicts, and ful. fillment follows: The .eologist de- clares that strata may be coal bearing; VIC sink shaft and find the fuel. The mcteorOlogist fore casts the weather twenty-four hours ahead, and the skies verify his prognostications. Venus we arc told from the observatory, is to cross the solar disk at a speci- fed time. and punctually to the in- stant the planet appears. From elaborate consideration of the mo- lecular groupings of certain com pounds of carbon, a German chem ist thought that substance..which he sought to build up from it's cle- ments would possess great beau. ty and value as dye stuff.

The Sea of GAliles.

One of the first things for which I looked here wac :he fishing in. dustry; but I found it not. There IS evidently only one sailing yes. sol on the lake, and but . very small handful of clumsy roWboats. When one of those boats gets out of order there is general cOnstsr- nation, it is said, for tho art of ship building is no longer here. Whom we sent our servant today with in- structions to procure Galilse fish for dinner he was unable to find Q single fish in the market. This is especially strange, inssmuch ns l had positive evidence that tho wa ters swarm with piscatorial life to- day, just as in tho days when Christ called Galiloan fishermen to his discipleship.
 Yst fishing is still carried on hero on small scale. Even last night l saw boat push out to sea with nets aboard, just a Simon did no doubt, when he was bound to "toll all night" at the samo bus mess.
 This loads me to guess or, at least, to hope, that the citizens were not quite so lazy and worth less in the days of tho Son of Man. They could not have been any worse. The modern Galilean would ride two.thirds the way around the lake on the ragged back ofa donkey or camel rather than display the enterprise required to effect 2 crossing in one-sixth the time by boat. Stupidity and cu- pidity are everywhere linked in a way that sorcly tries Occidental patience.-Cor. N. o. Times-Dem- ocrat.

We know nothing ofthe purposes of tho organizations known as the Agricultural Wheel of the Brothers of Freedom. Whether they, or either of them, are organized for political. social or business pur- poses, VIC know that it is said they controlled the elections last fall in sone of the counties north of the Arkansas river and from this VIC infer that there ia at least something political connected with them. But it is not now our purpose to write of political organi- Cations among farmers but to call their attention to the necessity of organization among them for busi- ness purposes. There is not ano- ther class of business or prOfession- al men in the state that has not its organization, designed to promote the interest of the persons engag- cd in the calling, and success at tends their organization. The physicians, the lawyers, the prin- tsrs, editors, merchants, bankers, mechanics, all, find it advantageous to meet in council and exchange views and discuss means and meas urss pertainin. to their callings, and 80 may the farmers; in fact fact there is no class of men whose business can be promoted more by organization than farmers. Mutt ual contract, mutual discussion of the many points connected with the tillage and seeding of the soil and the business management of the farm, develop thought and bring into practice tho best me- thods, and would lead to good re- sults.-Aalvern News.

For a number of years 1 was quite active as a communist. l would have been more active but I had conscientious serhples sgaiut being active in anything then.
 do not censure you, however If you could convince every one of the utility Of communism, it would certainly Dc a great boon to you. I tried 1t awhile, but my ef- forts were futile. The effect of my great struggle seemed to be that mon . hearts grew moro and more stoney. and my pantalaoons got thin or and thiner on tho seat till 1t seemed to mo that the world nev- CT was 90 cold. Then I made soms experiments in manual labor. Az l began to work harder and sat down less, I found that the world was not 90 cold. It was only when I sat down . long time that l felt how cold and rough the world re- ally was.
 Perhaps it is so with you. Sed- entary habits and stale bssr are opt to make us morbid. Setting on the stone door sills of railways and public buildings during the cold weather is apt to give you an erroneous impression of life.
