A Pair of Pant. in Seven Years.

Ignorant foreigners who open bank
accounts probably give bank clerks
more trouble than any other class of
depositors. These people all seem to
have an idea that their money is filed
away in a pigeon hole for them, and
is kept there until they want it. They
often drop in and ask the receiving
tellers if their funds are all right, to
be on the safe side. One of the big
national banks has a large line Of
Chinese deposits on hand, and some
of the celestials anxiously watch their
deposits grow until they accumulate
sufficient funds to enable them to re-
turn to China and pass the remainder
of their days in affluence.
A certain Chicago Chinaman has
quite a deposit at the bank in question,
and he knows the receiving teller SO
well that he ventures to call him by
his first name. About twice a month
the Chinaman calls on his friend and
says: "Halloo, Challie-my money all
yite7" The teller always replies that
it is intact. Can l see it7" asks the
celestial. Just put it back in the
vault this moment, Wing" is the re-
ply. II get no intlesti" inquiries
Wing. IF you leave it here seven
years you get a pair of pants, says
the teller. Then Wing grins and goes
out, satisfied that his funds are in
good hands. Chicago Herald.

The enjoyment of country life, says
Vick's Magazine, consists in being
en- rapport with nature; enjoying the
sunshine and the shade, the birds, and
insects, and animals, and trees, and
every living thing the very rocks and
the hills. There are instances of fami-
lies of cultured and intellectual per-
sons who hasten away from town in
early springtime, and repair to their
country homes, where they remain
until snow flies in late autumn. Rails
ing plants and flowers, taking al in
terest in the fruit trees and vines, the
care of bees and chickens, a sharp eye
out for wild flowers through the
season; these employments are sutfi-
cent, and books and papers and maya
zines of the latest issues contribute to
the variety. Rowing and riding still
favor activity. The social visits of
companions and acquaintance are not
wanting. 1t is a life of freedom and
intellectual action and enjoyment
that town life does not afford. But
there are other and many happy coun-
try homes where the families remain
under the roof tree through all the
changing months of the year. The
children are acquainted with the
squirrels and the birds, and bring
them at their call; they grow up in
sunshine and pure air, and with the
freshest and best aliment develop
strong, healthy bodies and active
minds. From this source it is that the
largest proportion is supplied of brain
workers in active life.

A good many writers have asserted
that an Indian is a born stole, and hat
the reason he doesn't laugh or cry or
express surprise d. establishment lies
in the fact that nature did not intend
him to. That's all nonsense, how
ever. The Indian puts it all on for eff
feet. I've heard him laugh as hearty
as any white man, and I've seen them
when they were positively thunder
struck with amazement.
In 1866 the hostiles got to attacking
one OF the stage routes into Julesburg,
and after they had killed a dozen
people a part of my company was
semi out TO give the red nan a set
back. We rode owe a section of the
route one day, and toward evening Sc
GREETED ourselves in a long, dry ra-
vine, to see what would happen dur
ing the night. The stage was due
there about 10 o'clock, and 500 after
8 we got a surprise. A band of TWEEN
ty-three Indians came in from the
west, struck the trail just above us,
and came down and laid themselves
away almost on top of us. We had
our horses down around a bend, with
guards tSlook after them, and the In
dams had left their ponies at some
other point. We We're back in the
dark, where they could not see us,
while they were at the mouth of the
ravine and every mon of them showed
against the starlight sky. We knew
what they were after, and prepared
ourselves accordingly. There were
twenty-eight of us, and we crept up
inch by inch until, when we finally
heard the rattle of the stage coach, we
uara not aun, trantu-H ua foot from
the bunch of marauders. We could
hear and see them making ready, and
Just as they were about to dash out on
the trail we gave them a volley.
Talk about an Indian not feeling
surprised Why, they yelled out like
SO many old women scared by a COW,
and two or three of them shouted to
the Great Spirit to save them as they
ran. We killed nine and wounded
our with that one volley, and only
one of the wounded lived beyond two
days. The survivor was a middle
aged warrior, bearing the scars OF
many battles. l was asked to ques-

1t was on the Third avenue elevated
road, shortly after noon, one day last
week. Just after leaving Twenty-third
street a young woman who had got on
alone at Fourteenth street turned to the
woman who sat next her and asked
suddenly:

A little surprised, she replied; ITO

The girl had grown pale and pinched
while she spoke, and v witches
about her mouth showed that the un-
comfortable visitation was really near.
Her neighbor began taking off her
gloves. She had hardly done SO when
the chill was on. Wave after wave
of shuddering emotion swept over the
unfortunate victim, her teeth chatter
ed violently, her frame trembled, and
she fairly radiated cold. The elder
woman seized her hands firmly, the
girl leaned her head against the win
dow frame, closed her eyes, and the
interesting emauation from the Jersey
marshes had full sway. A man sitting
opposite took in the situation and prof
fered a pocket flask, but it was some
minutes before the patient was able to

A somewhat singular fact has been
observed with reference to the shape
of the nose, or rather, the setting of
it in the face, SO to speak. To be strictly
correct, from the artists point of view,
the nose should be exactly in the mid
die of the face, and at right angles
with a line from the pupil of one eye
to that of the other. As a matter of
fact, it is rarely or never found thus
placed; it is almost invariably a little
out of 1.-THE square," and the fact of it
being so is often that which lends a
peculiar expression and piquancy to
the face.
A medical writer points out that
there are anatomical reasons why a
slight deviation from the true central
line may be expected, and that the
nose which is found to be centrally
located and accurately straight be-
tween the two eyes may, after all, be
considered an abnormal one, the only
absolutely rue and correct organ be-
ing, in fact, that which deviates a lit
tie either to the right OF left.-St. Louis

Your nails always look so nice" l

Tell me what you do"
Here l listened for the prescription,
which in sum and substance was as
follows:
In order to keep the skin back from
the nail l use a nail brush freely-us-
ing it on the nails particularly. Then,
in drying my hands, l work the towel
from the point of the nail back toward
the finger. l cut my nails often and

pliable, and no matter how thin they
are, if properly treated they are no
more liable to break than thicker ones.
Another thing that is bad for the nails
is polishing them too roughly. They
should be lightly touched and not
rubbed until they become heated. This
is one cause of white spots coming on
the nail and rorring its beauty. A
little attention every day will make
any hand look nice"
To this conversation which 1 over
heard let me add a word or two about
the hands. To make them white they
should be occasionally rubbed with
lemon juice and water. The hands
should never be allowed 10 remain
long soiled with anything that will
stain them. But unless there is some
reason for it, it is better not to wash
the hands too often. They should be

with the Left Hand.

The bank clerks are so often called
upon for directions that they fall into
the habit OF giving them in a hurried
and mechanical manner, consequent
ly they are frequently misunderstood.
The usual formula when a stranger is
called upon to sign his name is: Sign
there-pen and ink at your left hand"
One day not long ago a stranger en-
tered one of the large banks and asked
for a certificate of deposit for a
considerable roll of money which
he handed over. The clerk count
ed the money, found the amount
to be as stated, and hurriedly
said: Sign there, sir-pen and
ink at your left hand" 1t appeared
to the clerk that it took the stranger a
long time to sign his name, but he
thought nothing mor of it and issued
the certificate of deposit. About a
week later the same man reappeared
and presented the certificate. AS the
clerk sees so many faces each day he
did not remember this man when he
asked him to sign his name. He dashed
off an ornate signature which the
clerk proceeded to compare with the
first signature. The two were vastly
different, as the first one was appar-'
emily the labored effort of an old
man. II can't pay you this money,
sir" said the clerk. why not2"
asked the astonished stranger. BE
cause this is not the signature of the
man t o whom l issued the certificate
of deposit" was the reply. is he
your father or grandfather" The
stranger was dumfounded. When 1
was here you told me to write my
name with my left hand, and l did SO,
but 1 can't write that way" a light
dawned in upon the clerk now Will
you write your name with your left
hand now7" he asked. The man la
bored hard and produced a facsimile
of his first signature, and the clerk
apologized and paid him his money.

TIE RNSLNESS OETLOOK.


In no year since the elimination OF
business prostration in lS77-S. has there
be.n such general reduction of wages
throughout our productive industries as
during the year about to close, says the
Philadelphia Times. 1t began in our
great iron industry, with Mr.. CarneRie's
colossal establishment in the lead and
arousing a strike for weeks, and the de
mand of employers for reduced wages to
their labor has been common in the chan
nels where organized labor is employed.
In many instances the reduction of wages
was defeated by the united action Of the
employees, in other cases a modified re-
duction was agreed upon, but in no ma
iority oil cases, the reduction was accepted
under protest and most of the quiet re
cent labor disputes were efforts of work
ingmeu to regain former wages.
The year about to close WIS a reasona-
bly, prosperous year for most OF our pro-
ductive industries, but the e~Yer-growing
necessity for cheapness OF product to tind
renumerative markets for our rapidly in
creasing industrial output. make liberal
profits possible only by the perfection Of
location and equipment and the enlarge
ment of product. The field of labor is
thus wldened by increased employment,
but it has not brought with it the in
crease of wages because of the memorable
necessity for cheapness Of product.
Looking calmly over the whole indus
trial record Of the year now closing and
weighing us lessons pointing to the new
year, there is abundant reason for the
faith that 1890 will be quite as renumera
tive to labor as 1889, with fair promise
that in many Of our industries the wages
lost by reductions this year may be re
stored in the near iuture. The iron trade
is now substantially improving, and it was
that important industry that made the
most general reduction in wages during
the last twelve month. With it prosperous
aud able to resume the certainly not exces
sively liberal wages which were reduced
this year, there will be hope of a restora
ton of the reduced wages in many lines o.
industry. The wooden industries are
probably the most notable exceptions tc
the rule of expected improvement, anc
that will continue until both employer,
and employed cease to vote to tax them
selves into poverty by taxing their raw
materials. Upon the whole, while NJ

FALLING LEAVES.

They are dropping slowly dropping
Embers from the flaming trees-
All their radiance and splendor,
Kindled by the sunshine n
And the Maynard breeze.
They are coming, swiftly coming
Amber, amethyst and pearl
With the ties of nature riven.
Tempest tossed and madly driven,
Flashing iuster back 70 heaven
In their giddy whirL
They are fiitting-gayly fiitting-
F1edglings Of autumnal light
From their lofty perches straytng.
With each passing zephyr playing,
Bough and bush the course delaying
of their final flight
They are hovering-gently lowering
Over vale and rugged steep;
Covering DER the bloomlit spaces
Which the early frost defaces
MRntling tsnderly the places
Where our loved ones sleep.
Yes, they're falling-sadly falling
Russell, crimson, gold and gray
Beauteous millions headlong flying.
With the winds d~iscordant signing.
At our feet ignobly lying
Waiting dread decay.
They arc t~eaching-htly teaching
That which gladdens-thAt which grfeves
There is naught Of earth abiding,
But behind all nature hiding,
Is a hand our footsteps guiding
And the falling leaves
