THE BANK STATEMENT.

Saturday, Dec. 14-p. m.
By the operations of the New.IOrk Sup-Treas-
ury in the week ended last evening, which in
cluded the payment of S1.349.92o for purchased
bonds and the receipt OF s2,430,O00 for exchange
on other Sub-Ireasurles, the New-Iork banks
gained Sl,G79,56s cash. To-days bank state
ment Of averages for the week shows gain Of
81 500 cash over the average of the preceding
week. This indicates that the interior movement
of money. other than through the Treasury, was
slightly in favor of this city, and that the actual
cash held at the close OF business yesterday was
greater than the average of the week. The con
traction of S4,132,20O in loans is largely due to
the sale of bonds pledged to secure Government
deposits. The decline of S2,9s7GO0 in deposits
more nearly than usual agrees with the decline
which the other changes call for. The statement
results in an addition of 81, a27,5O0 to the sur.
plus reserve. and leaves it at $3.50, $50 against

Dangerous Vegetables.

There is light at last on ii subject Of vast
importance to all vegetable eaters 1t seems
that a green vegetable is as surely injurious
to health as green fruit But cooking will
generally render a fruit harmless while it
will not DO SO for a vegetable. A recent case
of wholesale poisoning of French soldiers
was traced to the solanine in unripe potatoes
This esculent is poisonous more often than is
supposed. If dug before maturity the tuber
is by no means safe. But far worse is it to use
potato for food that has, after being dug
been exposed to the light for any length of
time They should DO stored in the dark as
soon as dug. If bitter they should never be
eaten The more discoveries are made as to
our health and to our sanitary needs the less
we seem near to a true knowledge of the best
conditions for sustaining health and life

Sketch of a Boston Cat,

Our household includes an aggravated cat
1t is cat marked with idiosyncrasies, and
great many of them She is Familiarity known
to the f9mily the ''Lunatic," /" but any one
of dozen other names would hit her as
hard. She likes attention, does Kitty, and
will have it or know why. She takes every
peal of the door bell as personal summons
to come to the fore, and no housemaid proves
agile enough to intercept her course. Once
inside the reception room she is mistress OF
the situation Suddenly emerging from her
retreat, she viii utter an ear piercing
m-e-a-owl delivered i'll sharp staccato. and
dash across the room, as if going to fire
Returning, at short intervals she repeats the
experiment till she makes sensation. She
likes also to call around during the night
watches. When the locking up process be-
gins she dashes to concealment, a hackneyed
and thoroughly catty trick, with no claim to
originality, but if you find her you are lucky,
and If you catch her You are Iuckier still.
She has better things in mind than a night
spent outside, or even down cellar. She
waits until the dread small hours, when, if
you are ever to sleep, YOU are soundly sleep
ing, and then she comes to your room and
calls you like the trump of Gabriel-and calls
again, and keeps calling So does your sense
Of duty. and you pull your senses together
and do some calling in return. Silence reigns,
but your ears ring with her serenade; it was
no dream, so you get up and illuminate tine
house. The portiere system favors her. She
has long range. You hunt and coax and
call, but no kitty appears. 1t is her little
joke In the daytime you know where to find
her. Bars and bolts wouldn't keep her out of
your very best parlor There are warmer
hooks, and, to your liking, cozier; but par
ior is a parlor and ones dignity is worth
something. So there recIines all day Nine
Pussy, the Lunatic, with method in her mad
ness. She is of fair complexion, in good
health, excellent spirits, and for sale at a
bargain. Boston Commonwealth.

Drove Him Away.

Mark Twain, during his early days, did not
stand well among boarding house keepers.
The drawling youth was too lazy to pay his
board Once, while working on The st.
Louis Republican, Twain, after many board
ing house hardships, cast his hungry lot with
a hard featured widow named Perkins.
The printers had told him that she was a
woman of gentle nature. They gleefully
awaited the end of the first week Monday
morning; when Mark came to the office his
face wore an anxious expression.

and, lazily reaching for his coat, said: ''My

cruel shafts of sarcasm. Good-b-."

The breath Of a chronic cate

The breath of chronic catarrh pa
tient is often so offensive that be becomes
an object of disgust. After time ul-
ceration sets in, the spoDgy bones are at
tackled, and frequently entirely destroyed.
A constant source of discomfort is the
dripping of the purulent secretions into
the throat, sometimes producing invet-
crate bronchitis, which in its turn has
been the exciting cause of pulmonary
disease. The brilliant results which have
attended its use for years past properly
designate Ely's Cream Balm as by far the

How the Farmer Is PIucl,ed-

A farmer at Hood River shipped sixty
sacks Of potatoes weighing about 100 pounds
each to this city few days ago. The pota-
toes sold here for forty cents per 100 pounds,
the top price. The freight was thirty cents
per 100, the drayage two cents, and commits
sion two cents, which, with six cents for the
sacks, consumed the entire proceeds of the
sale, leaving the farmer not a cent for his
seed, the labor of planting, cultivating,
harvesting and shipping, which, any one
knows who has hoed, dug and picked up pota,
toes, is triflng matter.-Portland Ore

In various parts of China there is belief
that the souls of very atrocious criminals
who have either been executed or died in
prison are sent back from hades by Yenlo,
the judge there, to undergo q further term
OF imprisonment one death not being enough
to expiate their crimes When the second
term of Imprisonment is adjudged to have
expired the district magistrate beseeches the
tutelary deity of the city to accompany him
to the prison in order to acquaint the ghost
with his release. The order is supposed to
reach the imprisoned by burning it, cere-

Clothing from His Own Hair.

There is a farmer living in Fulton county
who has the most useful head of hair OF
record His hair is more like the wool of a

the wool on the back of a brown sheep, and
is as thick as the wool of sheep. The
gentleman prizes his peculiar hair very
highly, and he also makes good use of it, fer
he has several pairs of socks and nice warm

EXAMPLES FOR PRACTICE.

The special kind of memory that is weak
should be cultivated by itself and not at
tached to some other form of memory. The
simile of Il magnet is to tho point here. Load
it today with iron filings, and tomorrow it
will support few more. The memory, if
only strong enough to retain a single item
with effort, will grow stronger by the effort,
and will soon retain two items, and finally
others in vast numbers and without effort.
By this method we avoid fantastic associa-
tions and correct the weak faculty itself, in
stead of fastening its work on another
faculty. Let the exercise be a list of dates
valuable to retain for themselves Or, if it
is names that one wishes to remember, select
a list of important persons that furnish CEN
ters of historical information; such for i'll
stance. as the names of the Roman emperors,
the English and French kings, the heroes of
Plutarch histories, or of typical personali-
ties, such as the characters III Shakespeare's
dramas or i'll Homers ''Iliad"-items of
world historical Importance. A list of 100
proper names, learned in their orders as
kings of France and of England, and the en-
historic material, and the memorizing of
such list, or, indeed, list half Us large,
will so discipline the memory for names as to
permanently remove all embarrassment from
this source 1t is not the length of the list so
much rs the thoroughness with which it is
learned that develops the memory. 1t is not
well to 20 beyond 100 items, for the reason
that such mechanical memory should not be
made too strong.-David Kay's work on
