The Most Famous English Bankers.

The most famous of English bankers
are the Barings, to whom sort of Amer
lean interest attaches because one of the
greatest of the house, Alexander Barring,
married the celebrated Philadelphia
hciress and beauty, Anne Louise Bing-
ham. Sbr was one of the first of Amer.
lean peercsses, Mr.. Barring becoming
Lord Ashburton in 1885. 1t was with
him, white he was Minister from Eng
land, that Daniel Webster, then Secre-
tary of State, negotiated the treaty set
tling the northeastern boundary. The
details of the treaty were arranged be-
tween these Old-fashioned diplomats
while they were off on fishing excur-
sion together. The founder of the bank
ing-house was Sir Francis Barring, who
died in 1850, leaving a fortune of
g., 900. 900 to his three sons-Thomas,
Alexander and Henry. Thomas, sue.
cceding to the baronetcy, gave up the
business. Henry, the youngest brother,
had rather romantic reputation as a
lucky gambler, who was frequently able
to break the bank of a gambling house.
He was the amazement of bcholders when
when he would sit down at gambling
table with piles of god and notes before
him, and continue to play until the bank
was compelled to stop. But the reputa-
tion of successful gambler was hardly
suited to the membership of great
clearinghouse, and Mr.. Henry was in
duced to retire from the firm. Alexander
Barring. often called alexander the
Great" continued the business and cx-
tended the fortunes of the house. He it
was that advanced the money after
Waterloo that freed France from the o.
of the allied armies. There
are six great powers in Europe" said a
statesman at that time, England,
France, Russia, Austria, Prussia and the
Barings." While not as wealthy or
powerful as the house of Rothschild,
they haze frequently been its successful
rival in great financial operations

SnOWbirds on Toast.

Hunting snowbirds on South State
Street and the avenues is a more prOtta-
bic employment than hunting ducks in
the Indiana marshes. But few persons
are familiar with this fact, but it is true
nevertheless. The palate of the epcure
must be tickled in some way; ducks and
rcedbirds are too common, but the snow
bird, it would appear, fills the long felt
want. There arc millions of them on the
south side, and they are being shot and
raped at every opportunity. The small
ooy does considerable towards supplying
he wants of prOprietors of restaurants,
out the business has so suddenly devel-
opcd that grown men have lrned snow
bird hunters, and with reasonable good
luck can make from $3.50 to $3.50 per
day. The birds are whOlcsaled at 80
cents per dozen, and four of them go to
make meal, which costs the purchaser
80 cents. The restaurant man, it will he
seen. has profit of 81 on an investment
OF 80 cents. So it is apparent that there
is money in the business fer every one
directly interested.
In restaurant window on State street
the sign '.Snowbrds on Toast" was
seen yesterday. The proprietor was
asked if there was much of demand for
such game. He said there was at pres.
cnt, as there always is at this Sc isOn Of
the year. The birds are plump as can
be, Juicy and wholesome, but working
man would eat a hundred of them at a
meal without having his appetite ap-
peased.
The birds feed on the graia that falls
from cars and vehicles. The hunters
arc IN the immediate vicinity, and either
kill the birds with guns or trap them.
They 60 in flocks of hundreds, and
shot fired into their ranks brings down
at least dozen. The hunter has bag
at his side and into il are tumb.ed the
victims. The supply is enormous, and
as long as the demand is kept up, SO long
will the south side hunters continue to
make good living. There are not half
a dozen in the field at present, but when
the snow comes down for keeps the ranks
will be considerably augmented. That
a man can make a good days wages at
the business is evident. Chiceg0 Iri.

PcNnle Who Q.SnOre.

1t is perfectly true that no one ever
heard of Il snoring savage, says a writer
in the fIreside. In fact, if the wild man
of the woods and plains does not sleep
quietly he runs the risk Of being discov
cred by his enemy, and the scalp of the
snorer would soon adorn the belt of his
crafty and more silent sleeping adver-
sary. In the natural state, then, ''natu-
RAJ selection" weeds out those who dis
turb their neighbors by making night
hideous with their snorcs. With civil.
zation, however, we have changed all
this. The impure air of our sleeping
rooms induces all catarrhal affections.
The nasal passages are the first to be af-
fected. Instead of warming the inspired
air onsits way to the lungs, and removing
from it the dangerous impurities with
which it is loaded, the Olosc becomes
obstructed. A part OF the air enters and
escapes by way of the mouth. The veil
of the palate vibratcs between the two
currents that through the mouth and
the one passing through the partially
closed nOstrils-like a torn sail in the
wind. The snore, then, means that the
sleeper's mouth is partially open, and
that his lungs are in danger from the air
not being properly warmed and purified.
From the continual operation of these
cause.-the increase of impure air
in the sleeping rooms and permitting
habitual snorers to escape killing and
scalping-vsome scientists have predicted
that in the future all men (and the wo-
men, too) will snorc. 1t goes along with
the decay of the teeth and baldheaded.

SOmnambulism.

The phenomena of somnambulism and
their connection with the nerve-centers
have not been satisfactorily accounted
for. They probably depend primarily,
says the La9cet, upon q directing i'm
pulse of sensory origin. Some of Our
actions often become by practice so
nearly automatic that partial sleep -
stupor does not arrest their unconscious
performance. In somnambulism the in
ielle:t and controlling will are torpid,
while the senso,i-motor man VIII IN they
,hould govern is awake and active. As
n dreams the intelligent scnsorium ia
alone drowsily active, with possibly
noticeable tendency to restless movement.
so there may lie other states of dreaming,
in which the ccItels of motion are stimu-
lated to more powerful but unconscious
action. Pa tial counteractives to SOM
nambulism may be found in throwing off
worries. and in the proper regulation Of
evening meals.-PpuIar Seience Monthly.

Social Lines Among Thieves.

Among thieves there is as sharp So
cial line as there is drawn in the best
society. A bank breaker of the old time
would no more have been seen talking
with an ordinary sneak thief than he
would have attempted to swallow his
own "jimmy" or hydraulic pump. The
class lines among criminals were more
sharply drawn formerly than to day, for
now the bank-breakcr has been driven
out of business by tic ingenuity of the
safe maker, while the lower grade thief
has some opportunity of stealing dollar
and escaping, provided he does his work
outside of the city of New York. Here
his detection and conviction by Inspec-
tor Bvrnes is almost forcgonc conclu-
sion.
In times past some of the higher order
thieves were very successful, but very
few CT them have any money at this day.
Many of the most successful old time
American thieves are now in London and
40 one of them has any money except
Adam Worth, who possesses an elegant
house and all that one can wish, includ-
ing fine steam yacht.
Worth is probably the most success
full American thief, and were it not for
the old Boylston Bank robbery in Bos.
ton years ago, he would, perhaps, return
to America. His house in London is the
rendezvous for American criminals,
whom he assists with money and advice
and pockets his share of the proceeds of
their Continental crimes, which amount
to no insignificant figure. He has been
connected with some Of the clcyerest
robberies committed on the Continent
for the past fifteen years.-Nec York

A WhOOping-COuyh Cure.

DR.. Mohn, of Christiania, commun-
icates to his Norwegian contreres a new
method Of treatment for whooping- cough
for which kS claims remarkable results,
the disease being cured in a single
night. His Han consists simply in the
thorough di'infection, by means of
burning sulphur, Of the rooms, clothing,
ETC., used by tLc affected children. The
children are tak.n out of the room, the
bedding, furnitu, sud playthings are
exposed, and two ounces Of sulphur are
burned for every 10a ca6ic feet OF space
in the room. After TIC room has been
thus exposed to the suiphurous acid
fumes the affected children are allowed
TO return and occupy it. As result of
this treatment it is claimed that attacks
of coughing are Immediately alleviated,
and often entirely disappear.

POLITICdL,

OF the political opinions and plans at
that place, which is the head Of the Sec.
Ond district. Thus, it reports the re
publicans a unit for John Lind for
Congress, and says that no one among
the Democrats is anxious to make the
run against him. Ex-senator Wllkin.
SOU. Of Wells; Judge T.. st. Julien Cox,
who has recently moved to st. Peter;
Hon. Daniel Buck and Mayor Pfau, OF

ocrHtic nomination. Among those
mentioned for delegates to attend the
Republican convention 1T Chicago are
james E. Brown. of Mvpletown, Blue
Earth County; Senator Frank Day, of
Fairmont; ). p. Hunt. editor Of the
Man katO Free Press; and Hon. Alex
Fiddes, of Jackson. AS delegates TO
attend the Democratic Convention at

E. q. Phal, Of New Uim; and Dr.
Craig, Of GAINESVILLE, are mentioned
Joel T. IIeatwole, editor Of the North
field News. is mentioned as one Of the
delegates 1T large to the Chicago Con-
VentiOn.
This is the way the political vane
appears to stand at present at the up
per end of the district. A stiff breeze
from the Western counties. which
have not been heard from yet, may
change this somewhat. Mean while,
we may say to the boys up that way
that We have heard both Gen. Baker,
Of Mankato, and Judge Wilson, OF
WorthingtOn. favorably mentioned for
Congress. There is plenty of time yet
to develop candidates and we should
like to hear what others are mentioned
and especially who are distinctively in
the field.
