BRANDING COUNTeRFeITS.
A Government Regulation which Does

Tho recent circular sent out by the
Chief OF the Secret Service Of the
Treasury Department calling the atten-
tion OF the officers Of National banks 20
the rule making IL their duty 10 brand
every spurious bill that may be pre-
sentcd % them counterfeit" before re-
turning 10 20 the owner, has caused
considerable talk in banking circles
a banker said recently that II the act
affected all banks alike, he would not
object 20 It's enforcement, but as II only
applies % the Government officers and
20 National ban ks, leaving all State
and private banks 10 do as they please,
ho Is opposed 20 the plan. The law
requires the instant stamping OF "a bill
discovered 20 be fraudulent, regardless
OF any protests on the part Of the pre-
'scntOr II IA mistake Is made and "a
good note stamped, the cashier Is COM
PEELED 10 make amends for the wrong
by purchasing tho bill, which he can
realize on by presenting IL at tho
Treasury. The risk financially IS not
objected 20 rs much as the danger Of
incurring the anger Of the person pre-
scnting the note. There il 50 much
competition among the different banks
that they desire 10 conciliatc rather
than 10 offend their customers. To
seize a bill and brand IL counterfeit is,
OF course, the duty Of tho proper Off
cials at the Sub-Trcasury, but when
such an arbitrary act Is attempted by u
clerk in IL bank tho owner. who IN
nine cases out Of ten IS ignorant OF tho
fraudulent character OF the note, Is in
dignant and Is apt 20 transfer his busi-
ness 20 another bank Tho rules Of
the Treasury Department make the

as the officers seldom see the bills

PUREAIRI IN CHILDREN's ROOMS.

A writer in BabyAood impressed With the
necessity of this desideratum in children's
sleeping boms, very sensibly declares that
too much attention cannot be bestowed on
children's sleeping, rooms especially in the
matter of pure air and sunlight. 1t is,
above all, important to prevent foul and
steamy vapors from the kitchen and laun-
dry, damp emanations from the cellar, and
the impurities from gas and other lights
from concentrating there Some means of
ventilation are Indispensable in every
dwelling to prevent the rising of impure
atmosphere toward the roof. Shut off the
children's bedrooms from the rest of the
house, and open a window somewhere near
for the escape of the impure air.
An alarming practice, and one altogether
too prevalent, is the burning of lamps in
ehildrcn's bed chambers, and this, too, all
night with closed windows. Now, it
should be known that the flame of a lamp
consumes the vitali2ing portions of the air,
and that 4 room in which a light has been
burning for hours is not fit for sleeping in.
In addition to this evil, a burning lamp
produces another, and that is, restless
slumber, rs the light causes the brain to
respond even through the closed eyelids,
and thus make an effort which should be
avoided. Teach children to sleep in the
dark, by all means. They must, %ofcoursc,
be prepared for bed by lamp-light IN the
Winter, but the 0 may be instantly
purified after the lamp is extinguished by
opening the windows and doors and letting
in fresh, cool air.
Teach a child also that it is just as safe
from all harm in the dark as in the light,
and that it will be healthier and happier,
and it will believe it, because children
have an inexhanstible faith in the mothers
word. Never allow any M to tell hill
dren ear-inspiring, hobgoblin stories, and
do not punish them by sending them, or
threatening to put them in dark places;
then you will be enabled easily to train
them TO sleep in the dark.

D,o Nor nNow III WAS rmams.

A well-to-do deacon in Connecticut was
one morning aecosted by his pastor, who
said. Poor Widow Green's wood is out.
Can you not take her a cord ~
"Well, answered the deacon, 81 have
the wood, and I have the team: but who is
10 pay me for it ?"
The pastor. somew hat vexed replied, Il
will pay yon for it, IN the condition that
Won read the first three verses Of the forty
first Psalm before yon 60 to bed tonight. =
The deacon consented, delivered the
wood, and at night opened the word OF
God and read the passage: blessed is he
that e~ensidcreth the poor the Lord will
deliver him in time of trouble. The Lord
will preserve him, and keep him alive; and
he shall be blessed upon the earth; and
thou will not deliver him unto the will OF
his enemies. The Lord will strengthen
him unto the bed Of lan%guishing; thou
wilt make all his bed in sickness"
A few days afterwards the pastor mel
him again, ssIIow much do | I owe you, dea-
con, for tina cord Of wood ~
"0hl' said the now enlightened man,
edo not speak Of payment; ! did not know
those promises we're in the Bible. 1 wonid

THE INDIANS DYING our.

The report of the Commissioner for last
year shows that there has been a decrease
of nearly five thousand. For instance, the
total number Of Indians. according. to the
Commissioner report ia 1884, was 264,-
$50, and in 1885. 259, 1873. II there could
be an actual count Of the Indians, the num-
bers wonld be much less. We succeeded
in counting the Cheyenne and Arapahoe
Indians recently, and found that they num-
Der two thousand less than the estimate
made by lodges. Tho Indians are super
stitious about being counted. and besides
they make more rations when a family of
three gets supplies for a family Of five.
An attempt TO force an actual census would
probably result in war, and as the same
result is being gradually attained the au-
thorities have never tried to compel the
taking Of the census. There are the Sioux
Indians, for example. They have never
been counted. and it is probable that if an
actual count was made their latest mum
bcrs, as nov reported, would be reduced
some two thousand. The Indians, now
ever, are dying out very rapidly, and as
the tribes grow fewer in number the indi-
y;dnals become Weather, and in the curse
of a few years the m%illionaires Of the
try viii be found among these Indian
tribes. They now control large quantities
az land, which is b becoming more valuable
each year. and have besides trust funds in
the Treasury amounting altogether to over
81, 00o, 600. Ia addition the Government,
as shown by the Holman report, apPropri-
ates large ameunts for their support year
ly and provides schools for their children
The indians are being very we'll treated

BE Careful.

An old man is like an old wagon; with
light loading and oarefnl usage it will last
for years; but one heavy load of sudden
strain will break it and ruin it forever.
Many people reach the age Of fifty, sixty,
or even seventy, measurably free from
most of the pains and infirmities Of age,
CHEEKY in heart and sound in health, ripe
in wisdom and experience. with sympa-
thies mellowed by age, and with reason
able prospects and opportunities for con-
tinued usefulness in the world for a con
siderable time. Let such persons be thank
fnl, but let them also be careful. An old
constitution is like an old bone-hroken
with ease. mended with difficulty. A
young tree bends to the gale, an old one
snaps and falls before the blast. A single
hard lift; an hour of heating work an
evening of exposure to rain and damp; a
severe chill; an excess of food; the nnusn al
indulgence of any appetite or passion; a
Sudden fit of anger; an improper dose OF
meiicine-any of these, or other similar
things, may cut off a valuable life in an
hour, and leave the fair hope Of useful
ness and enjoyment by a shapeless wreck,

THE DECAY OF THE CLOWN.
HIS DAYS Arc over.

There is obvious truth, and not a littie
of pathos, in the declaration of Mr.. Fore
paugh's advance agent that .'the day of
the clown is nearly over" He has had a
long and pleasant reign of popularity. but
the mildew is beginning to gather upon
him in a distinct way at last, and early OBJ
livion awaits him beyond any doubt. 1t is
not his fault that fate is thus about to crack
all his chestnuts in cruel moekery and silence
his familiar songs forever. The case is
| simply one of outliyed usefulness and
power to charm. His procession has pass
ed by, and he lags %superfluous, or, in other
words, the remorseless logic of evolution
has taken away his occupation, and there
is nothing left for him, accordingly, but
! tame submission to the rule Of "the sur
| vival of the ~fittest." He is not to be re-
fused the right of wandering in his gro
tesque fashion if he is really less worthy
to endure than many theirs Of the forces
Of civilization which seem to have an as
| sured continuance; but with all his wan
dering he would yet face the ugly fact that
the world has made up its mind to do with
ont him. His salary, We are told, now
ranges as low as $50 a week, where he
would once have scorned to take less than
800, and a few more summers of poor pay
and public Indifference will suffice TO Mt
terly abolish him.
1t is a bitter irony of fortune, surely,
that one who has lone so much to perpet-
uate stale stories and conumdrums should
finally be himself cast aside as 4 joke That
has been carried far enough. The time
was, he can easily remember, when all
classes flocked to the circus mainly for the
purpose of laughing at his venerable With
cisms and immemorial trick of grasping
himself after the manner of one who sud
denly discovers that he has eaten too much
Watermelon. No hint reached him then
thai there was the remetest danger of de-
cay in his happy and prosperous calling.
He wagered bottles of wine with the ring
master in a spirit Of carelessness as TO ex-
penses that was a persistent defiance Of
ill-lnck, and when he mounted his wagon
drawn by a kicking pony, his conntenance
shone with a confidence both in his present
and his future, which every spectator Sc
cretly envied. To be n clown in those
days was to be a king in the realm of
amusement. The most daring bareback
rider, the most skillfrl acrobat, the most
adroit juggicr, even the queen of the
arena" herself, could not compete with
him for a moment. He was master of the
situation. All other public favorites stood
aside for him, and the applause that he
gained could not have been greater had he
been the supassing prop and hope of the
nations life.
He has not yet actually departed, to be
sure-this quecr-striped and ridiculous fig
nre; but he is vanishing so swiftly and nm
qnestionably that it is permissible to speak
of him in the past tense and ask him, as it
were, to make personal grimaces at his own
funeral. His decay cannot possibly be ar
rested, and he fingers merely upon the or
der of his going when he might better go
at once, and thus shorten his humiliation.

Between the orchard and the mill
The brooklet of its laughing tires;
It's waters there grew deep and still
About the piers, old and moss-grown,
Beneath the little bridge of stone
Clasped here and there, with wiidros
bricrs.
! was a vain young country maid,
Each day at noon sent to the mill,
And used to loiter in the shade,
And lean above the Jagged pier,
Beyond the wild rose creeping near,
And peer into the placid riu.
Twas not the water lilies there,
Nor pale green crosses that / sought;
But back to me bright eyes and hair,
Sun-tangled, framed in shadowy green,
Reelected, threw their glamorous sheen
And kept me longer than they ought.
One day L Fingered, looking down,
Long past the sunshine of midday,
W hen close beside me, big and brown,
Two eyes, so full of laughter met
My own within the r%ivnlet,
My eyes dropped low and turned away
Yon see, was fathers harvester
'Our john we always called the lad;
Like 10 his own my parents were,
And IL cannot rightly tell
By what strange chance it e'er befel-
His coming made me always glad.
How shallo V seemed the rookl then
After the glance ofeyes like his!
/ slowly raised my own again
And found him gazing slyly down
Inever knew that eyes of brown
Were full of such sweet mysteries,
For, looking mp, how could / guess
To find my imagined features there
A mirror full of tenderness
His dark eyes made; the rivulet,
In all my loiterings, never yet,
Had made me seem one half so fair
The wild rose blossoms all are dead:
And, where the water lilies were,
The brook sleeps in its frozen bed
Unheeded let the winters pass;
havc II truer looking glass
The brown eyes of my harveste"!
