A HINT FOR BANK CLERKS.
One Made Himself Very Solid by Carrying
Bible.


Cincinnati Enquirer.I
A clerk in one of the Third street banks
made himself solid with the President of
the bank some years ago. probably by acci-
dent. He lived up the road and carried a
good-sized basket, in which he brought his
lunch in the morning and took out his mar
keting and groceries in the evening. One
day after finishing his lunch he left his bas-
ket on a desk in the bank. The President
came along after awhile and accidentally
knocked it off onto the floor. In the fall
the basket came open and Bible fell out.
"What are you doing with Bible in your
basket?" asked the President. 'I read it
every day Oh the train going to and from
the bank, F" answered the clerk. The Presl-
dent Immediately increased his salary and
told him that his place was secure so long
as he remained President The President
retired several years ago, but the clerk still
holds his position in the bank.

tribe of the Quinchua Indians who inhabit

The discovery of this idol demonstrates
that the Aymara, if not the Oldest were at

AN ACROBATIC MOUSE.
How It Entertains n Telegraph Operator
Every MIdnIEht.

Every Midnight.
Detroit Free PressI
There is telegraph operator in one Of our
police courts who once tanned q mouse 50
completely that it came out of the hole be-
hind his desk, where it lived, every night
about midnight and entertained him with .
cunning acrobatic performance. It climbed
up the rod of bill file that rested against .
wire stretched across the desk, then walked
the wire until it reached piece of cheese at
tached to the farther end of it. Balancing
itself gracefully upon its hind legs, it re-
moved the cheese with its front paws and
proceeded to nibble away at it until it was
all gone. And strange to say it never
missed its footing or fell off the wire.

A selfish mood, the reason why.

A last for the table is all;
And the reason It's name we so call
Is because that of old
A first did enfold
Its proportions, which were far from small.
But in these days almost any last
For the table as total is classed,
And hunters now choose
A one for their ttUoS
While for table together they're cast.

RAISE YOUR OWN cows.

A half dozen good cows are worth
dozen poor ones, says the Ameri-
can Agriculturist. It takes as much
food and care to keep poor cow as
it does good one, and while the
farmer barely returns enough at
most to ''pay her way" the latter
returns comfortable profit to her
owner. Those farmers who are look
ing around for really good COWS
know how difficult it is to buy one,
when found, at a price that they can
afford to pay. Yet they frequently
keep ''looking around for several
years, when they might, in the same
time, have raised several choice COWS
themselves. Of course it takes time
to raise a good sized herd of profit
able COWS, but this expenditure of
time is only in lieu of the money ex-
penditure absolutely necessary to
purchase desirable animal. AS a
farmer usually can spare the time
better than the cash, it is easy to see
what is the best course to pursue.
There are but few farmers who do
not now have at least one, two, or
three COWS fairly good, which can be
used as start of improvement. Do
not use a scrub bull merely because
your neighbor happens to have him
and charges nothing, but rather pay
fair price for a good, pure-bred
one. Save all the heifer calves and
carefully raise them. When they
are about three years old, and less
than four years from the time the
Improvement is started, you will
have fine young COWS. Other calves
will also be coming on from them as
well as from the original cows, and
in five or six years there will be quite
herd, the common, Improbable
COWS having been worked off to the
butcher. Many a farmer wishes he
had commenced five or six years
ago. Ho does not think that he will
likely say the same thing five or six
years hence, yet does not commence
now. Good, pure bred bulls have
now become so we'll distributed, that
the use of one can usually be secur-
ed without much difficulty, while a
good bull calf can be had from such
stock, eligible to entry, for com
paratively low price. Enough can,
as a rule, be counted on from neigh
boring farm ers' herds to pay for his
keep.

THE POWER OF GOLD.

Never since the discovery of this
lovely commodity, has the power of
gold been better illustrated than it
is to-day. Almost every noble de.
sire of man has been swallowed up
IL the stateless ambition to gain it,
and from the lofty seat of the presi-
aent down to the humble chair Of
the humblest peasant, Gold Gold !!
Gom.9 is the one undying cry.
Honor, Love and Truth stand back
abashed before the tyranny of its
magic wand,and Corruption becomes
Justice under the iuf1uence Of its
might. 1t grinds the poor into the
earth, and puts jewel on the robs.
ber's hand 1t is a curse and yet it
is blessing. 1t makes the home
beautiful and the want Of it makes
the home miserable. It ostracises
the deserving man and makes the
scoundrel a gentleman. 1t is the
God which millions bow before, and
yet ii draws the dividing line be-
tween man and man. For it, hon
est men become thieves, and with it,
thieves become honest men. In
politics it is an emperor and in So
ciety king. Even in our very re-
hgion its influence is great, for from
our earliest infancy we are taught
that in that Beautiful Land Beyond
there is beautiful "City paved
with Gold.". 1t is in our every
thougbt-our every action. And
what will it bring us? Nothing but
death, for that is az end we must all
attain and gold cannot stay it's icy
touch. In this thought alone can
the starving man find solace.-Vic-

The Children,s Reading.

In a Massachusetts, town not long
since daring burglary was committed
by three boys. The leader of the three
was the son of wealthy and prominent
citizen of the town, boy who dressed
handsomely and had every wish graft
fed as far as money could go. He was
very well educated, too, SO that neither
poverty nor ignorance could be pleaded
for him.
The only explanation seemed to be
pure 'cussedness," till it was remem-
bered that he was infatuated with read
ing detective stories and tales of murder,
robbery and Indians. A novel of this
class was found in his pocket when he
was arrested. Through his trial he was
in no degree cast down, but deported
himself as one who had done a heroic
deed. It was the cheap and deadly story
papers and novels that had poisoned him.
It is pity that his parents, when
they gave him all the money he wanted,
had not provided him with proper read
ing. Then he and the family name
might have been saved. There is plenty
of admirable literature for young people
now printed. Never before since print
ing was invented has there been so much
or so good It comes both in periodicals
and books. The author who can hit the
popular vein in literature for children
and young people is sure of fortune at
once, and some of our most gifted writers
are now engaged in juvenile work.
There is literature of all kinds. The old
fashioned goody good book, from which
the dime novel was reaction and
wholly natural one, has well nigh dis
appeared In it's place are history for
young people, tales of daring adventure,
hunting stories and narratives of how
famous people have won their way to
fortune or distinction, and all these
written in elegant English and with the
healthiest moral tone. Under these cir
cumstances the parents whose sons are
led into crime from dime novels are as
much to blame as the boys themselves
Anthony Comstock mentions vicious
reading as one of the great crime breed
ers Of the nation.
