POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS.

Postal savings banks have worked very well in England ,and the question whether the government Of this country shall establish such banks now gives promise of seriously engaging public attention. The testimony in favor of their establishment which has been given before the House committee on post roads and postofices is interesting and impressive.
 One of those who appeared in favor of the project was Assistant Secretary of the Treas ury Fairchild MT. Fairchild told tho com mittee that in the work of the State Chari- ties Aid association of New York it's mem bers had become impressed with the fact that the insecurity of savings banks in that State had had . demoralizing effect upon the poor people. The loss of A 100000 in four years by 5000 depositors, notwithstanding the attempts by the State to make the banks secure, proved the supposed guards to be useless and the supposed inspection by the State had proved merely trap. What the State ought to do, he said, was to repeal all the laws and leave the people to deal with savings banks as they do with other peoples The only governmental body that could take savings in small amounts from the poor and give absolute security without mourning e1- penss was the general government. It should offer small interest, small inducements to de- posit, and every inducement to withdraw. The idea to be kept in view was the encourage ment of the habit of saving, with the assur- ance of that security which the local govern msnts do not and cannot give. He did not believe in asking the government to do things which can be done by the individual or by State. But he thought this was matter which could be done better by the government.
 The chief argument against the govern ments doing such work is that the postal banks would injure private banks. But in England fifteen years after the establishment of the postal banks the deposits in private savings banks were larger by $10 100000 than they were the year before the govern msnt banks were opened. And the postal banks have fourished greatly there and have among their depositors not less than four hundred thousand children. The system seems well calculated to promote thrift, and it can easily be seen that it would not de- crease patriotism

train, t'I thiuk Senator Jones takes the blue ribbon; The idea of man of his age nak- such duncs of himself over a woman. The woman neverlived that could hit me so hard as that. They can't throw any or their dust in my eyes. I am too old 8 bird to be caught with feminine chaff."
 These self lf-congratulatory remarks were uttered at II a. m. At noon a woman with a face once pretty, and still passable with the aid of skillfuly applied coat of rouge, came aboard at way station and occupied the seat next to the elderly man. At 11:30 she struggled vainly with the window blind, and at 1:31 her neighbor went to her rescue. At 11:45 they were seated side by side. At 1:30 he took her out to dinner. At 2:30 her head rested upon his shoulder and his nigh arm fingered along the seat back with a spasmodic tendency to droop. At 3 sharp the train stopped five minutes to change engines and & telegraph messenger came into the car. At 3:05 the woman was wringing her hands in despair and her com- panion reading the telegram which she had placed in his hands and trying to com fort her in her grief at this sudden intelli- gence of the death of her mother in Boston and equally sudden call upon her to return immediately. At 315 the elderly passenger was standing with his open pocketbook in hand counting out $40 in crisp bills and placing them in the hands of his fellow trav- eler. At 3:20 the unhappy woman had con trolled her grief and stayed the flood of tears At 3:30 she alighted from the train, after an affectionate and thankful parting with her bsnefactor, promising to write him from Bos- ton, whither she was to fly by the next train for the East. At 3:31 she entered cab was waiting near the platform and which was occupied by mustached man with a high hat, a loud scarf and wicked eye At 3:32 the train started on it's way, and rogu- ish, laughing face looked out the cab win dow and waved an arch and gay good-by to the elderly passenger. At 3:33 something seemed to come over the old man. He flew into fit of rage, showed his teeth, looked in to his pocketbook, shook his head, clenched his fists and muttered:

Why Canon Farrar became a Total
 Abstainer.


 Canon Farrar, in speech made by him at the reception given in his honor in New York city by the National Temperance soci- ety and the Church Temperance society sain
 "About ten years ago more I first be- total abstainer because I was easily con- vinced that the use of alcohol was not ne- cessity, and great deal turns upon that. saw, for instance, that whole nations had not only lived without it, but had fourished without it. I believe that the human race had existed and had fourished considera- ble time before it was discovered I saw the remarkable fact that though many people in England had made themselves mere tunnels for drink; though they had been accustomed to drink from their childhood; though most of them had been brought to prison, either directly or indirectly, through drink, yet the very day that they entered the gates of the prison all drink was entirely taken from them, and yet there was not single instance on record in which any one of them had suf- tered in consequence. On the contrary men who have entered the prisons sickly and blighted, have been made compHlsorily sober by an act Of Parliament, after few months left prison hale and strong and hearty; and women who had been put into prison per fectly horrible in their 1oathsomeness and degradation after short period of depriva- tion from the source of their rum, left prison with the bloom of health and almost of beauty.
 ''Then, again, I saw in the carefully-pre- pared statistics of insurance societies that total abstinence an indisputable fact con tributes to longevity. Then I saw that, so far from alcohol being necessity for great feats of strength, many of the greatest ath- letes in the world, from Samson downward whose drink was only ths crystal brook, had achieved withouE alcohol feats far more mighty than they could possibly have achev- ed with it. and, far as intellectual exertions have not always said with Pindar that water perance far better inspiration than they could possibly have produced chemically from the fumes of wine Then I found that great number of our most eminent physicians had declared most positively that in hundreds of cases alcohol was the prolific source of disease even among those who took it in quantities conventionally deemed moderate: and, on the other hand, the other physicians who were opposed to totsl absti- hence general rule still confessed that the young and healthy, all who eat well, and all who sleep we'll, can do without it and are better without it.
 'tAll these proofs and many others convin- ced me very speedily that it was not neces- sary for me to continue to touch any form of alcohol; and gave it up the more 1eadily because believe that the abandonment of it

Consumption
 Conquered /!
WHEN THE DOCTORS COULD
 DO NO MORE.

CHAS. A. CABRERA, B Hawley Street, Boston, Mass, writes:
 "One year ago I was apparently so far gone with Consumption that my life seemed only question of days rather than months. With my faith in the ability of physicians to help me all gone, I tried almost every known remedy, with no apparent benefit. Finally, as a last resort, I was induced to try Dr. R. c. Flowers Lung Cordial The very first dose gave me relief, and with the first bottle took new lease of life, and of this remedy is worth more to the sufferer from Lung troubles than gallon of any other known remedy. bottle of it is now one of my choicest possessions, and at the first symptom of cough or cold fly to it for the relief it never fails to give.'
 DR. FLOWERS LUNG COR. DIAL is without question the most wonderful Lung remedy ever discovered. It eradicates the germ of CONSUMPTION as nc remedy has ever been known to do. It stands without rival for COUGHS, COLDS, BRON- CHITIS, ASTHMA and CON- SUMPTION.

Before Mir. Justice Stephen in London a wealthy Tory farmer was prosecuted the other day by the government for committing felony in having voted three times at three different places in one parliamentary bor- eugh. He had three qualifications. Had these been in different boroughs, the govern ment admitted his right, but opposed his right to vote three times for one candidate. The defense admitted the voting, but claimed entire absence of guilty intention. The jury found the prisoner guilty, but with no guilty intent whatever. MT. Justice Stephen entirely agreed with the verdict, but said the law must be upheld, and the prisoner had done what the law decided was felony. The court had no option in passing sentence but to inf1ict imprisonment with hard labor. He did not wish to pass any such sentence, and the only way he could avoid it was by ordering the prisoner to en- ter into his own recognizances and come up and receive judgment when called upon. Probably, unless he offended again, he would never hear any more about it. The prison CT was then bound over and discharged.
