Banking for Chinese.

One of the largest of Boston's banking
houses makes speciality OF deposit ac-
counts with the Chinese of the city, who
all place their money in this establish
ment's hands The aggregate of such de-
posts made by the gentry of the fiowery
land is at any one time very large, while
the personal accounts of the fantan
gamblers, who are the rich men of the
celestial colony here, run far up into the
thousands of dollars An important part
of the business done with them consists
in selling drafts for money sent to Asia
Much trouble was found at first in
keeping accounts with these pig tailed
capitalists, owing to the curious fact that
each Chinaman, as a rule, has several
names, which are employed in such q
manner as to be a trit1e confusing He
always has at least three, and sometimes
more. He has one name as boy. When
he gets to be man he takes new one.
Upon going into business he adopts a
third No one of these three seems to be
used in connection with the others, and
inasmuch as a fresh designation is ac-
cepted every time he goes into new
laundry enterprise, the paving teller finds
some difficulty now and then in securing
a satisfactory identification When q
laundry is sold out, too, the proprietor's
business name goes with it to the pur-
chaser and thus transfers of personal
titles are constantly taking place, occa
sioning no end of confusion. But bank
ing for Cinnamon is an occupation all by
itself, and must be acquired by specia

I still have faith in a revival Of the
steamboat business on the Mississippi
but it will not take place until better
class of boats are adopted What is
needed are boats of smaller dimensions
that can make good time. The heavy
steamboats, have done more to kill the
steamboat traffic than all other Influences
combined They can carry heavy car
goes, but they are too slow, and in
seasons of low water they cannot run at
all If system OF lighter boats that
would run on any ordinary stage of
water, and built with reference to speed
was adopted, it would result in an in
creased river traffic, both in freight and
passenger departments Thirty years
ago the heavy passenger boats were
withdrawn from the upper Ohio river.
between Pittsburg and Cincinnati Later
lighter boats were adopted, and now
there is more passenger business be-
tween those points than there was while
the large boats were being operated.
The passenger traffic is mostly way bust
ness, but on an ordinary trip now from
Cincinnati TO Pittsburg a boat usually
handles from 400 to 500 passengers.
There is also a vast difference in the ex-
pense of operating large and small steam
[ boats. Mississippi River Captain.

There was serious diplomatic scandal
at Vienna during the shahs visit, which
has been kept very quiet. The Persian
minister to Austria has fallen into pc
cuniary embarrassment, as his salary of
"a, 900 year is appropriated by the grand
vizier, to whom he has also to send fire.
quent and costly presents The minis
ter's creditors at Vienna assembled few
days before the shah arrived and decided
to send deputation to wait upon the
grand viZier with their complaint; and
accordingly that parsonage received them
and was handed an immense pile of the
minister's unpaid bills. The result was
that the shah paid his representative 5
debts instead of taking him home for ex-
ecution. His majesty's liberality is at
tributed to the fact that the minister at
Vienna owns large estate on the Bos-
phorus, 30 that he would certainly have
declined to accompany the shah back to
Persia. The grand vizier is said TO have
told the minister that his difficulties were
entirely due to his own stupidity, as it
was quite open to him to make large
sums by trafficking in Persian conces-
sions, titles and decorations so long as he
remained in favor at Teheran.-London

Riding from Denver to Rochester.

A small, black eyed woman, about IS
years of age, giving the name of Mrs.
Mepsted, arrived in the town of Warren
on horseback, and stayed over night at
the home of Henry Wheeler. She was
up bright and early the next morning
and on her way to La Crosse, which she
expected to reach that day. She had left
Denver, Colo, June 90, on horseback,
and was on her way to Rochester, N. Y.
She made the trip two years ago from
Rochester to Denver, having her horse
shot dead under her by deer hunter
within thirty miles of Denver. On the
last trip she used a saddle, but this year
she had a blanket on her horses back
instead. She carries revolver and
gun with her, and when she started had
large St. Bernard dog, but he went
mad, and she was obliged to shoot him.
She had quiet way about her which
was attractive and was as quick as 3
fash in her novements.-St, Paul Globe,

though these latter be regarded as an in

and being near overheard their CONVEX

Turning to Mr.. Wrenn he asked about
the tree and expressed desire to see 1t.

find it despite the electric lights. They

To see lightning assume the role of
blacksmith is sight which no man ex-
pected to witness few years ago. The
utter subjuGation of the element that
gives the thunderstorm its majesty and
that cleaves the granite of the mountain
peak, was manifested all last week, in
the working of bit of mechanism in
Mechanical hall. A rapid adjustment of
two bits of cold steel, touch upon
lever, and, 10! about the junction of the
pieces of metal there flashed circlet of
cherry red that soon became snow white
with intensity of heat. While ones
watch licked score the fierce heat made
the two bits of hard steel one, and the
work was ended. No human hands, or
fire kindled by man, could perform the
same work in so perfect way, or so
swiftly. 1t was wedding in which a
busy dynamo a mile away was the offici-
ating power, and it was a sight full Of
interest and beauty. In the hands of all
potent man, the thunderbolt of Jupiter
becomes the rival Of the village black
smith. The possibilities of the process
of electric welding are wellnigh limit
less.-Pittsburg Bulletin.

Western Farm Mortgages.

A considerable part of the annual re-
port of the Vermont inspector of finance
is given to the subject of western farm
mortgage loans. The amount of such
mortgages held by the savings banks of
the state has increased from 81, 278, 399
in 1879 to S1,219,G6 in 1889 Invest
ments in cities and towns would proba-
bly, bring up the total placed by Yer
mont savings institutions to not less than
$40, 100000 The inspector expresses the
opinion that no individual would think
of investing as large an amount as the
banks do west without personal exam

investment of trust funds omit any o

Occasionally fashions start in New
York and swing through to popularity at
a pace that attracts the attention even of
people who have no direct interest in the
attire of women. Such a movement oc-
Cured last year with the Jane Hading

that a new veil had come to town, and

preached the sudden popularity of the

now affected by women, came to the

ment looks as though composed of five
or six capes, each one an inch or two
shorter than the other. They are pat
termed apparently after the ones that have
been worn by coachmen for the last eight
OF ten years in New York, and the fash
lon is said to have been set by Lady Der

A party of young men were out sere-
nading their loves the other night. The
hour was waxing late They passed a
residence on Cherry street where a
youngster in an upper window was
screaming with all the strength of its in
fantile lungs. and the "old man" was
pacing the floor, attempting to lull the
household pride and joy The mother
was bestirring herself for some remedy
to quiet its colicky pains. Instantly one
of the mad wags of the party threw
himself into troubadour attitude under
the window, and drumming the accom-
paniment on his guitar. with a clear
voice sang:
Married, married
Oh. what bliss:
Lots OF love and kiss kiss kiss
Married, married,
Oh, what sell
Things altered, quite altered; well well well
TIL humor of the thing seized his COM
panions at first gasp, and they all fled in
wild haste, but the singer scared until
there was an intensified howl from the
youngster upstairs, showing that he had
been pitched headlong to the bed. The
house shook..as the "old man" broke for
his shotgun, and just as the window
shutters flew open with crash, the trou
badour, realizing the imminent danger t.
which he was exposed, fled wildly down
a convenient alley Happily, the shot
gun was of the smooth bore variety, ant
the gallant troubadour says it scattere,
from Fall creek to Washington street.
1t was some time before he found hi
com panions, and since then he has aban
doned that quarter of the city. Indian
