railway construction force and four years
later came to Michigan and entered the
employ Of the Chicago az Northwestern
railway in the capacity of a laborer. He
worked his way up by meritorious endeavor,
and in 1865 was employed to take charge

An Odd Bank OF Deposit.

A reputed old maid OF sixty sum
mers, who had been for years in the
service OF a grocer at the Halles, died
few days ago. and, as she was be-
lieved to have saved little money,
her niece, a young woman OF eighteen,
lately welded to a policeman. searched
among her clothes and boxes for the
treasure. Nothing, however, was to
be found, although the mattresses.

class, often plays the part OF bank.
had been ripped open and examined
carefully. A large cheese was discov-
cred in a box under the bed, but as II
was too strong for the palates OF the
policeman and his bride they disposed
OF it to the grocer for the sum OF ten
francs. The next day, as the worthy
man was cutting the big cheese, his
knife came in contact with a hard
substance, and presently gold pieces
were rolling about on the floor. The
secret was at last out. The cheese
was now carefully examined. and was
found to contain 1000 francs in notes
and gold; but, unluckily for the pre-
sumed heiress, there was also bit Of
parchment. on which the venerable
Rosalie had penned few lines. setting

among all the special notifications Of

able than the development of the

there is a longish bone on each side Of

hinged TO its neighbors that, when the
creature is not reused, the poison tooth

tected by fold OF skin. Should the

the mouth be opened widely, its poison
fang may be separated or simultan-
eously erected so as TO stand out at
right angles to the jaw. In the less
developed venomous snakes the curved
fang Is grooved along It's anterior
margin; but in the cobras the groove
has sunk so deep into the fang that it
only opens by narrow slit, while in
the vipers and the ring-hals even this
slit has closed. and there is complete

hydrocarbons OF illuminating-gas,
and thus can be used TO deodorise the
earth exposed in excavations In the
vicinity OF gas-malAs. More valuable
than this is its effect upon decompos-
ing organic bodies, which it renders
completely inoffensive. This prop
erty renders it particularly valuable
for use in stables. privy vaults. urinals,
cesspools, or in any place which NAV
contain foul-smelling organic matters.
