uoM to Iudorse a Check

Very few otherwise intelligent and edu-
Gated people understand how to properly
indorse bank check payable to their or
der and few realize the inconvenience they
cause by placing their Endorsement in an
awkward position. An observance of the
following rules will enable anybody to place
their signature in the proper place:
/. Write across the back = not length
wise.
. The top of the back is the left end Of
the face
g. To deposit a check, write " For De-
post !" and below this your name. A clerk
not having the power of attorney to sign or
indorse checks can deposit his firms checks
by writing on the top of the back For de-
posit only to credit Of ----,' and below
this write his own name.
4. Simply writing your name on the back
of a check signifies that It has passed
through your hands, and is payable to
bearer
5. Always indorse check Just as it ap-
pears on the face. Fer instance, if the
check is payable to G. Read, indorse &c
| Read :" il to Geo. Read" indorse Geo.
Read )" if to George F. Read" indorse
" George F. Read" If the spelling of the
name on the face of the check is wrong, in
dorse first just as the. face appears, and be-
low, tne proper way. L or lnstaiiCt, tne cIecHA
; is payable on face TO George Reade;" in
dorse George Reade," and below this in
/ dorsement write what it should have been,
George Read
6 you wish to make the check pay
able to some particular person, write = Pay
to - or order, -.
In England all checks are payable to
bearer, but in this country all strangers
presenting checks for payment must be
identified by some one known to the
+ bank Underwood

Rarefooted Children.

The question whether children can go
barefoot without injury is now and again
proposed for discussion, and when it is so,
we are compelled to give the same anSwer.
On physiological grounds it is manifestly a
sound practice to accustom children to de-
velop the circulatory and muscular systems
of the lower extremIties, precisely as those
of the hand are developed by free use and
exposure 1t is not supposed to be either
necessary or desirable that children should
wear gloves for hygienic purposes. When
the hands of little folk are thus decorated,
the parental idea is confessedly to give them
what is conventionally regarded as a gen.
teel appearance. No one thinks a child
ought to be protected from the weather, so
far as its hands are concerned. On the con-
trary, it is recognized that the upper
extremities should be kept warm by ex-
ercise and habitual exposure. Precisely
the same view holds good with regard to
the lower extremities. Contact with bodies
that abstract heat, even more than the
earth abstracts it, is an almost constant
condition of child life. In short it is entirely
in Difference to fashion and the usages OF
society that children wear foot coverings.
There is much to be said in favor of more
natural practice The foot is an organ OF
wondrous complexity, regarded as bony
anu I0ucCuidf apparatus. IL Il, tnolcofci
provided with nerves and blood vessels OF
especial intricacy. The softest and most
flexible shoe, to a very great extent, and a
boot almost entirely, reduces this organ to
the character of iointed block with little
self-movement. Obviously this reduction
must detract not only from the efficiency Of
the foot. but of the organism as g
whole. If the blood-vessels of the foot and
leg are fully developed, as they car
only be when the foot is habitually ex
posed, the quantity of blood which the
| lower extremities can be made to receive
and, if need be, attract for a time, is very
considerable We can only say that chill
dren who are allowed to go barefooted en-
ioy almost perfect immunity from the dan
ger of cold u bv accidental chilling of th,
| feet, and they are altogether healthier ane
happier than those who, in obedience tC
! the usages of social life, have their lowe
extremities permanently inyalided, and, 81
to say, carefully swathed and put away il
rigid cases. As regards the poorer classe
of children there can be no sort of doub
| in the mind of any one that it is incompar
ably better that they should go barefoote'

Got Paper of Their Own.
New YORK, July f0tl1,-A. MA London
report (Which, however, seems scarcely
credible) is circulating that Cyrus w. Field
and Jay Gould have purchased a controll-
ing interest in the stock company which
controls the Financial Nelos. Business men
feel that if thereport is true, Financial Nelos
will in the future be made to merely reflect
the views and further the private ends of
Field and Gould. The general comment is
that it is great pity that such a bright,
well-edited paper should be used for such
purposes.

An EXTRA LEGISLATIVE SEssIoN.-A
prominent politician, who has had the rep
utation of being in the confidence of Gov
ernor Stoneman ever since the beginning
of his administration, in January, 1883. is
thoroughly impressed with the notion that
the Governor intends to again convene the
Legislature in extra session, this time on
the irrigation question. This same gentle
man was certainly aware of tAe fact that
the Governor intended to call She last extra
session at least a week befare the most
prominent leaders of the party knew it.
1.-THE reason that the Governor has for his
course is a good one' said the gentleman.
I" We know now that an irrigation scheme
can be carried through tae two houses, and
that the Governor will sign it. We don't
know what will happea in the next admin
istration. 1t was demonstrated by the vote
at the last session that if we get another
chance to upset the rule laid down by the
Supreme Court that we cannot fail. The
term of the present Legislature will not ex-
pire until the first Monday of January
next, and there is no use of taking chances
upon what new Legislature may do. An
extra session on irrigation alone would
make Stoneman popular, and popularity is
what he wants Just now. IS. r. Post.

| We have already made brief reference tC
| the production of new kind of carpefiug
| or mating, and some other coarse goods,
from pine leaves. The Charleston rs. C.)
! Ne,es and Courier gives the following de.
scrlptlon OF the process of this new and
curious manufacture as carried on at
Cronly, which is a village close to that
city 1t should be said that the fiber mill
referred to prepares the pine leaves for use
as substitute for jute, cocoa or fax.
The carpet mill, which is situated some
distance from the fiber mill, is large two
story structure which is, however, as yet
in its infancy as the company has but re-
Gently commenced the weaving of carpets
and mating. The appliances and ma
chinery are about the same as those
IN use ID establishments or like nature,
the machinery of course being adapted to
the spinning and weaving Of the new fiber.
This is brought over from the fiber mill
after being dried and is first put through a
carder and cleaner, all the Impurities being
removed, and after being carded emerges
IN the shape of slivers about three inches
IN width. The fiber now assumes the first
appearance of yarn. These slivers are
caught in cars and then go through draw
ing frame where four slivers are converted
into one. A second drawing frame con-
verts two of these into one, the silver grow
ing smaller and more condensed all the
time. Next ii is taken to the rowing frame,
whence il emerges in the shape of coarse
yarn and is wound upon spools 1t next
goes to the spinning frame and finally to
the twister, where two, three or four strands
are twisted into one. 1t is then ready for
the loom. To make colored carpets the
yarn is either dyed or bleacheG, the yarn
being wound into hanks for the purpose
At present the company is running but
one loom, which was made for experiments
These have proved so satisfactory, however.
that orders have already been given for
thirty additional looms, while a contract
has been made with a well-known New
York house to handle all the products of
the mills. The carpets are made up in
rolls, and in various patterns. The natural
color of the pine straw yarn is rich dark
brown, which when bleached becomes a
creamy yellow. Stripes of blue, red. green
and yellow are woven into the patterns.
The mating is made to initiate the finer
grades of cocoa so perfectly that were it not
for the aromatic odor, which is one of the
best qualities of the pine carpet, an expert
would find it difficult to tell one from the
o.bar ~

DUMMY PArIENrs-A writer in an Eng

is true story: The other day l met a poor
fellow and his wife who had been supers at
the Adelphi, but who had been compelled
to give up owing to i'll health. They were
both elegantly dressed; and expressed
my surprise, as l had heard they were in
needy circumstances. l congratulated them
on the evident gain of wealth which had
compensated the loss of health. ''Oh, sir, "
said the man, these are not our own
clothes. They are lent to US by DR.. -
" Lent to you by DR.. -l" exclaimed.
" What for2'' why, you see, sir, we are

Does he run theater, then?" l asked.
" Lor', no, sir - was the reply. Me and

BEAUTIFUL WHITE ALLoYs.-The beau
tiful white alloys now made of aluminium
and silver are said to be much harder than
those from pure aluminium, and, on this
account, they take much higher polish,
and at the same time are preferable 20 the
silver copper alloys for the reason that
they are Interchangeable in air and retain
their white color. 1t was some time ago
proposed, therefore, no longer to alloy the
worlds coin with copper, but with alu-
minum, thus rendering them far more
durable, and their white color being re-
tanned after long continued use. 1t appears
that according to the quantities of alumni
mum added, the alloys possess very varying
physical characters. Thus, an alloy con-
sisting of 100 parts aluminium and five parts
silver differs but little from the pure alum
mum, yet it is much harder and assumes a
higher polish; an alloy consisting of 169
parts aluminium and five of silver possesses
a very remarkable degree of elasticity, and
an alloy of equal parts of aluminium and
silver rivals bronze in hardness.-Scientifc
Press
