A Boston Bank Reminiscence.

Many years ago young man in one Of the
banks showed such a capacity as teller or
cashier that some of its customers got up
bank for him. Everything went on success
fully. There was habit Of lending and bor-
rowing between banks, and sometimes be
tween them and reliable individuals and this
young cashier had such relation with a man
supposed TO be beyond suspicion. One day
this man came TO him with large request,
no less than the loan Of $50 900, equal TO half
the capital of the bank, which was 500, 900.
Strange, he got it, and disappeared not to be
found; his kindred could give no information
about him; telegraphs, railroads, ocean steam
ers did not exist to afford inquiry or pursuit.
The directors had to be made aware of the
loss Of half of their capital Their first
thought was to reduce the capital to sl50,o00.
The young cashier submitted himself to their
discretion, but proposed If allowed to go on
to devote himself, all his means and energies,
to the rehabilitation of the capital. The di-
rectors acceded TO his request The matter
was kept quiet The bank went on success
fully. The cashier paid promptly s per cent.
dividend on $500, 900 out of $l5O, 600 business.
Watching every opportunity to make a
penny, at the end Of fifteen years he accom-
plished his purpose. The capital of the bank
was restored. When he began his task be
was 30 years old, when he finished it he ought
TO have been in the prime of life, only Is, but
the incessant strain OF those fifteen years left
him wreck, and in less than five years, in
the height Of his usefulness, he sank to his
grave.-Boston Cor. Salem Gazette.

.r,esian Wells I'm the Desert.

Some years ago Col. ROudaire brought
forward a proposal TO transform some Of
The deserts in Africa into inland seas, the
.eyel Of the soil being at present about
sighty feet below that Of the Mediterra-
lean. An alternative proposal was made
5y Col Landas, who prefers to keep the
sea out and to irrigate the desert, and so
transform it into fertile district. Col.
Landas has actually commenced to
work on these lines, and he has just pre-
sented to the French Academy OF Science
4 report, in which he states that he has
driven an artesian well in the desert to
he depth of 800 feet, which is now dis
charging fresh water at the rate OF 2, 200
gallons minute, which sufiices for the ir-
rigation of 500 hectares. This area was a
iesert year ago, and is now fertile and
well stocked district. A second artesian
well is now being driven, to extend this
work of fertilizdtion.-Boston Transcript.

The old story of the poor soul who was
caught between The devil and the deep
sea-" gets a new illustration from the deal
ing of doctors and drugs with malaria. The
story is soon told: My daughter" said a
lady. had been struggling with malaria for
four years. She was all the time out of
health-poOr appetite, disordered digestion,
pale earthly color pain in the head. limbs
and back, and every now and then right
hard chill followed by fever. Then we
would send for our doctor and he would
prescribe quinine. just as he did from the
firSt-and so kept doing all alOng-until the
name of quinine sounds like the tOlling of
the bell. Clearly between the two, her
health was being ruined and her very life in
peril. She was really between The devil
and the deep sea Sometimes the name is
varied, and il is called some other inc in
place of quinine. but it is all the same-the
old firm with new sign. In this dilema a
lady friend said: Why not try Humph-
rey's Homeopathic Specifies. Nos. Ten and
Sixteen | tried them. They were sue
cess from the first, and not only cured the
malaria, but restored her to perfect health,
and left no trace of disease OF drug pois-
oning."
