That Concerns Several Financial
Institutions.
The state board of equalization. in
session at the capitol yesterday, passed
a resolution aimed at the bankers of
this state and fraught with interest to
those whom it may concern. The reso-
luton requests county auditors to in
clude in their lists the undivided profits
OF banks. For some reason, until this
time the undivided profits of banks
have not figured in the assessed valua-
ton as made up by the assessor. The
usual method of arriving at this result
was to add to the capital stock the net
surplus, and deduct from this sum the
amount invested in real estate. The
remainder was then assessed at about
20 cents on the dollar. Some idea Of
how this new law will affect the as
sesSed valuation of the different banks
in st. Paul can be gained by an exam

Why he Was Called "venus."

An amusing story, related of the late Dean of
Chichester, appears in the Liverpool Mercury:
While he was vicar of st. Mary -theV Virgin
church, of Oxford-from the pulpit of which
Cardinal Newman delivered his famous sermon
"a parishioner brought a male child to be
christened. Upon Mr.. Burgon asking the spon-
they replied: Venus 'Venusr he exclaimed
Indignantly. How dare you ask me to call it
any such name? In the first place it is
not mans name at all, but that of a
sir, the child's grandfather was chrstened
Venus, exclaimed the godmother, very much
alarmed. What, do you mean to say he's got
a grandfather called Venus? Where is his
grandfather? The christening was suspended
till he came, poor old fellow. bent double with
rheumatism, years, and toll, and looking as
little like Venus as can possibly be imagined
Do you mean to tell me, my good man, that
you were christened Venus?' We'll. no, sir he
coughed and stammered; 4 was christened
Sylvanus, but folks always call me Venus"

Prevention Better Than Cure.

The general understanding is that the
Savannah Benevolent Association has q
very large sum in its keeping. The am 1unt
has been reported to be as much as 500, 600.
II may not be- as large as that, but it is very
large.
Some of this money was contributed by
the benevolent people in this city, but the
most of it was contributed by the chart
table people of other towns and cities All
of the contributions were intended to aid
helpless and suffering people during the
epidemics in this city in 1854 and 1876. The
entire amount of them was not used on
those occasions. What remained after the
need for aid ended was invested in good
securities. The fund at present is made up
OF these securities and their interest accu-
mutations.
The trustees of the fund propose to use it
doubtless, here and elsewhere, for the
object for which it was contributed. They
have already contributed literally to Jack
sonville and other fever afflicted places in
Florida. When the Florida epidemic is
over, however, they will still have a very
large sum on hand.
n suggestion WHICH presents lUSelf With
regard to this money is this: Could it not
be used to great advantage in this city in
sanitary worka Its use in that way would
be in harmony with the object for which it
| was contributed. If an epidemic can be
| prevented, there will never be any need for
it, and there is good reason for thinking
that epldemics can be prevented by the right
kind of sanitary work. If sickness can be
avoided by the use of this money, will it not
be more wisely spent than in caring for those
afflicted with disease that might have been
prevented from gaining hold upon the
city.
Experience teaches that such funds as
this of the benevolent association are liable
to be lost. While there is no reason for be-
lieving that this fund will be squandered,
nevertheless there is a chance that it may be,
and the public deprived of any benefit from
it. The opportunity of doing a great deal
| of good with it now presents itself Is not
prevention better than cure.

The Marriage Question.

The question, is marriage failure? hss
been extensively discussed in this country
and England within the last two months.
More attention, perhaps has been given to
it in England than in this country. In
fact. the discussion of it began there, and
was taken up here after the English press
had pretty nearly exhausted it.
The extent and variety of the discussion
show that there is profound interest in the
marriage question, aud that there are q
great many people who believe. or at least
pretend to. that marriage is failure 1t is
gratifying, however, to know that the great
majority believe that it is not.
In England the London TELEGRAPH led
the discussion, and opened its columns to
those who desired to present their views
either for or against marriage. 1t received
in all about % 900 letters. 1t did not, how
ever, print them all, because all of them did
not possess merit enough to entitle them to
a place in its columns. It's conclusions,
drawn from the entire correspondence, as
presented in the SUMS cable letter, were as
follows: 1.-THE consensus of letters is over
whelmingly strong again early marriages.
Our law ought we think, to forbid
marriage to young men under 81 and
10 young women under 10. Among
the working classes especially this
would produce. we believe, an excellent
effect. Then also, it is clear to our mind,
that the law of divorce must be enlarged to
permit dissolution of marriage for desertion,
for lunacy, for confirmed inebriety, for
conviction Of disgraceful crimes, as like
wise for established incompatibility of
temper and temperament, such as a Just
and prudent judge would admit to be ade-
quate. That the marriage service as it
stands calls also for alteration has been
abundantly demonstrated by these letters,
and the sooner his grace the Primate finishes
with the Athanasian creed, and turns his
attention to passages in that service which
shock young minds and disconcert older
ones, the better"
The conclusions which the Telegrdph
drew from the letters of Its CORRESPONDENTS
would not answer in all respects for this
country, because here divorces are much
moro easily obtained than in England.
Indeed, there is very little difficulty in OBJ
tanning divorce in this country. II 1t
cannot be obtained in one state it can in
another, and there is no reform more
urgently needed in this country than re-
form in the divorce laws The ease with
which a divorce can be obtained is the cause
of great deal of unhappiness and misery.
But it will be agreed here, probably, as
in England, that the marriage of young
men before they are 81 and of young women
before they are 10 should not be encouraged.
! A man before lie has reached lis majority
aud a woman under 10 are seldom prepared
| to enter into so solemn u contract as that of
marriage. They have not such al under
standing as they should have of the respon-
sibilities and obligations Of the married re-
lation. the fact that some early marriages
turn out well does not prove that such mar
riages are advisable.

The Yellow Shoe Craze.
rom the PHILADELPHIA Times.


Although it is now about over nothing during
the summer has quite equalled the yellow shoe
craze. For several years the wearing of undressed
or tan-colored shoes has been quite common
at some of the foreign watering places and
mountain resorts, especially in the Alps. Start
ing with the men, it very quickly extended to
the women. The ultra-fashionable women on
the continent were quick to seize the idea and
adopt shoes of tan kid for carriage and general
wear Last year it struck this country and at
Newport shoes of alligator skin and undressed
leather were generally worn by the swels, and
their utility also recommended them for noun
tain wear, and many of the Mount Desert girls
adopted them. During the past summer, how
ever, thousands wore yellow shoes where only
scores had them before Men wore them on the
street. and so general were yellow shoes at the
resorts that few wore anything else. Big manu-
facturers turned them out cheap so that every
body could get them and the belle with S12 un
dressed Oxford ties daintily flushed found them
duplicated in the So article worn by the factory
girl off on an excursion. Yellow shoes are run
into the ground. and it remains to be seen what
fashion will bring out next.
