Speculation With Deposits Causes the
Wreck of Bank.
LAKE CRYSTAL, Mimi, Nov. 29.-The
State Bank of Lake Crystal has sus-
pended payment, and as a result the
villagers and farmers who had their
money deposited therein are in all ex-
cited state The bank was organized
two years ago with Randolph Mitchell
as president and II. Ray Howard CASH
Ter. The capital was $4,000. 1t had
large number Of small deposits, aggre-
eating about $4,000, and nearly every
one IN the place was bitten. The cause
of the suspension is speculation in De-
cember wheat. The institution was too
small to stand the strain of recent heavy

The eminent scientist of Washins

The eminent scientist of Washington,
Lester F. Ward, now appears In opposi-
ton to Prof. Cope as champion of wo-
man. He insists in Forum that our
wives really are our better halves.
Paleontologically woman preceded man,
and is of more impori ance than he in
the history and economy of life. Life is
the highest product Of nature, and hui
man life the highest sum of life, and
woman the highest fact in human life.
But the doctor is not quite logical, for il
man is the latter product he should also
be the highest and most perfect. The
battle of the sexes is hereafter to be
fought out largely from the standpoint
of science. We are at least likely to gel
something besides prejudice.

A Brave Mans Pitiful Plight.

SURVIVOR OF THE JEANETTE IN NEED.
A special to the New York Tribune from Fall
River, Mass, December 20, says: Louis p.
Noros, of this city, one of the survivors Of the
Jeanette expedition, is now here without en-
ployment. He and Ninderman we're the only
survivors of Commander De Longs boat crew.
They achieved distinction by their brave con-
duct in the long and dangerous journey across
Siberia, when sent ahead by De Long in search
of assistance for his exhausted party. The
papers were filed with their praises at the
time, and it was expected that they would re-
ceive substantial reward for their services. All
they ever got was their pay and small allow
ance for lost clothing. Noros has been can
wasting for Mrs. De Longs book, but that work
will no longer furnish him with q living. and
he is now out Of work. Four years ago Con-
gresham Cox, Of New York, introduced petit
ton in Congress, signed by number of promi-
nent New Workers., asking Congress to provide
an appropriation sufficient to keep Noros and
Ninderman from want, and show the gratitude
of great people to those who have risked their
lives in the service. This was introduced toward
the end Of the session, and was never heard of
again. In January, 1884, Congressman Davis,
of Massachusetts, introduced bill to put
Noros on the pension list. It got as far as the
committee on pensions. To Noros, in particu-
lar, the country is indebted for the recovery Of
the bodies Of De Long and his comrades and
the records of the expedition. and it is felt here
that he is worthy of some substantial recogni-
ton

Irving's Revival of ssHacbetb. >,

Henry Irving's revival Of Macbeth" at the
Lyceum theater, London, on Saturday night, is
said to have been even more stunning in its
spectacular features than any of his previous
productions. One feature, the flight of sixty
witches through the air and their vanishing
amid unearthly shrieks, was weird in the ex
IRENE and sent a shudder through the house.
The witches cauldron was hewn out of solid
rock. The banqueting scene was triumph of
stage splendor. The costumes were strikinply
picturesque combination of the historic and
imaginative. Miss Terry's Ladg Macbeth was
marked by originality of treatment She was
the tender, loving, ambitious wife, rather than
the masculine heroine of the stage. The gen.
eral opinion Of the Macbeth of Mr. Irving ia
that it is one Of his finest impersonations. A
striking feature in his makeup was that he was
beardiess, but wore flowing red mustache like
that OF scandinavian hero. Miss Terry's an
pearance was also peculiar, but effective. SIZE
wore long red hair in plated tresses. The
house was filed with the most distinguished
audience of the season.

Lord Sackville Bedsteads.
From the London Court Journal.

IIOLf inc 1NfiuOu COuft JOurnai
The hope that Lord Sackville will take up
his residence in Knole will probably have to be
postponed, for, though in London at this
moment, he is to winter on the continent. The
fear that the bedsteads would go from Knole
is apparently unfounded. and it is not clear
what use these gigantic erections would be to
ordinary mortals or even to maids of honor.
When the place is again opened to the public
these and other curiosities of early cabinet
making will strike the majority of people as
novelties, it being so long since one was per-
mitted to look over the house. Lady Betty
Germaines chamber has the Mortlake tapestry,
and the Venitian bedroom remains as il was
fitted up for the Ambassador Moline, after
whom it was named. The toilet table and
mirror frames are of silver. The ''king's bed
chamber" so called because it was furnished
as it stands for James I, has a bed like that of
Lady Betty Germaine. The silver toilet serv-
ice used in this room was, however, added in
1743. The walls are hung with fine tapestry
and the bed-hangings are Of rich needlewori.
with vases and plumes at the four corners of
the tester. The furniture Of the spangled bed
room and dressing-room was presented by
James / to Lionel Cranfeld, the earl of Mid
dlesex.

Tanning q Bird.

THE BEST WAY TO MAKE A BIRD FEARLESS AND
FAMILIAR.
No creature is more jealous or sensitive than
bird, says Olive Thorne Miller in the Home
Maker. 1t is easy, however, to win the heart
Of almost any bird, and without starving him
or making him think he has mastered you.
Simply talk to him a good deal. Place his
cage near You, on your desk or work table,
and retain his choicest dainty to give to him
with your own fingers. Let him know that he
can never have that particular thing unless he
takes it from You, and he will soon learn, If You
are patient and do not discomfort him by fix
ing your eyes upon him. After this he will
more readily take it from your lips; and then
when you let him out of his cage, after the first
excitement is over, he will come to you, es-
pecially il you have call you have accus-
toned him to, and accept the dainty from you
while free. As soon as he becomes really con-
WINGED that you viii not hurt him, or try to
catch him, or interfere in any way with his
liberty, he will give way to his boundless Curl
osity about You; he win pull your hair, pick
at your eyes, and give you as much Of his COM
pany as you desire.
