Benefits of Cooperative Banking.

Speaking of the benefits of the cooperative
bank system, one who is familiar with its
workings and results says: THE savings of
the mechanic and laboring man are neces-
sarily limited, and, in the ordinary way of
laying by little now and then, they may get
discouraged on account of the length of time
necessary to accumulate sufficient to accom-.
plish their desires, and are very likely to give
up in despair when year after year passes and
they still see the object far off But with the
assistance rendered by the union of individ
uals exactly in the same condition Of life
with himself he can command, in the be
ginning of practical life, the means which.
without this union would require years Of
toll and self denial; and then he would only
arrive at the ideal of his mind when
his capacity for its enjoyment would
have passed the meridian, and his pathway,
in consequence of years Of toll is necessarily
downward Here he begins at the end, as it
were, and secures the benefits of years of
saving before he has made any accumula-
ton; and in iquidating his engagements
with the association only returns thereto
what lie would have TO pay landlord for
rental, while feeling that only for short
time Is this necessary, and then his obliga
tons are ended, renders it comparatively
easy task; for he is working to the end he
wishes to attain and there is positive, moral
certainty that no will and can reach it. How
much better, then, for every man who is
within reach Of these great and good institu-
tions to connect himself Herewith and secure
his own independence, and thus feel con-
scious that his energies have not been ex
pended in producing an income for the sup
port of another to the exclusion Of his own
person and family. "-Boston Herald.

oerrorhed could not be other than kind
Semiramis or Boadicea, or ''that sort of q
person, you know"
As the clock licked on and no Jake ap-
peared, we became quite nervous with anxiety
as we waited with the bride in the green be-
decked room Sally still insisted that JaEe
had probably once secured the minister, but
had afterward ''lost him" She seemed to
think that minister might be lost something
like q thimble or jack knife.
When it lacked but quarter to even Mr..
Aver could not pretend to read his paper any
more Ten minutes later and Sally was
quite rigid In her gay gown, sitting in the
back of the room When the twins were not
running into the house to announce that they
had been listening and couldn't hear naw-
thin, they were dashing out to listen Once
went to the stoop There was not a sound,
save the mysterious mountain sounds There
was faint glow behind Busbee, showing
where the moon was.
Ristus was standing on the stoop He had
been invited to remain and witness the cere-
mony. Ole Pinks baby was asleep on our
bed. He expressed great sympathy for Sal
ly. He said it must be jst awful ter be mar
rit, but it must be awfuller ter think yer
gwine ter be marrit, and then not be marrit
arfter all He offered to 60 out looking for
Jake.
Sally had come to the door and overheard
this last remark She said we might leave
Jake to her There was that in her voice
and manner that made us all well content
that Jake should he left to her
After this time seemed to fly 1t became
o'clock very soon. MIR Aver kept piling the
wood on the fire, and the flames made the
green festoons look very lovely but what
was their loveliness but mockerya We were
part of a bridal party, with a missing groom.
We almost felt as if We were portions of an
illustrated sensational story lnvoluntarily
| began to make headings for chapters-I
composed some extremely good headings
The clock struck 10 | asked Mr. Aver in
a whisper what he thought was the matter
He said he thought the matter was that Jake
had got drunk in Asheville and would not he
able to get out Of that city before the next
day He further said that sometimes Jake
took glass, and If he took one he always
took great many more
At II O'Clock Sally rose and went out with
out speaking Rstus took the baby and de-
parted in the moonlight for the howell where
he lived
In few minutes Sally returned in her old
dress She had a large, thick comforter in
her arms She asked permission to wrap it
bout her an lay" on our floor
So we all retired. The dogs were evidently
greatly confused that, after all this prepare

A Young American.

good way to learn to love any country is
to be born in it AT any rate, children born
in America, no matter what their foreign
parentage, are usually decided little Ameri

which is the best possible thing for all
parties concerned
The editor of Our Youth says he was one
day seated in the BARRIERS chair, while the
knight of the scissors was waving his weap-

A Royal Poker Player.

In little book recently issued "for ladies
DESTROYS of learning poker" is the following
curious anecdote: Maria Theresa of Austria
was greatly addicted to gambling, and
played for exceedingly high stakes. The
court functionaries did all in their power to
overcome this passion, but to no purpose
They finally appealed to the empress confes-
sor, who induced the imperial gamester not
to give up cards, but to play for only a cop
per kreutzer point. The cunning empress,
however, ordered her jeweler to make her
one hundred kreutzers in peculiar manner
so that each one could be opened in the mid
die and ducat inserted The two pieces
were put together SO that only the initiated
knew that they were not what they seemed.
Thus the empress kept the letter of the con
fessor's demand and at the same time ell
joyed the excitement in which she delighted.

Feminine Noses.

The positive nose is well proportional,
though slightly inclined to the retrousse. 1t
betokens a bright, vivacious nature, and is
somewhat emotional
The truly feminine nose is something of a
snub, but it is good lovable nose for all
that, and is vastly superior to many more
pretentious organ which may carry along
with it disagreeable traits.
The vigorous, pushing nose is set with firm
ness on the face, and is almost masculine in
the severity of its outlines 1t is usually &C
companied with strong, fair development
and denotes practical, hard common sense
Susan B. Anthony has such nose-Boston

How to Wash Your Face.

Without being unkind to women, want
to say that very few of them know how to
wash their faces, not only SO they will be
clean, but so the skin will remain white, firm
and tight-this tightness preventing wrinkles.
Here is the recipe: Fill a large bowl full of
hot water-l mean hot, not tepid-then battle
your face thoroughly, using for this purpose
your hands, which have been called by a
scientist a washrag with brain in it. Don't
Just give your face dab or two but let it
know what q bath means; then, while it is
still feeling the effect of the hot water, give
it another bath in cold water; then dry it
with soft towel Do not believe for an in
slant that rough towels are good for fine
skim you might just as we'll use a curry
comb to keep your bang in order.-Bab in
