careful supervision that National banks
are we know of no reason why their credit
should not be equally good. Each bank
is required to make four reports a year
of its condition which are published for
the information of all concerned. The
greatest objection that we see to the new
law is the very small amount of capital
required, mot less than S5OOQ." OF
course there is no limit as far as the
maximum amount of capital is concerned
and perhaps not many will do business
on 5000. But there is danger that a
multitude of small banks will be organi-
zed under the new law more than can be
utilized by the people, and
the tempttion to fraud and speculation
proportionately increased. The penalty
for violation Of the provisions of the
new law is not severe enough in our judy
ment and that feature should be changed.
So far as the respective merits of the two
systems are concerned we are hardly pre-
pared to give decided opinion but
under the new Law, If strictly enforced,

Whnt Shnll q Bright Girl Read i?

The late Bishop George F. Pierce, of
the Methodist Episcopal Church +,
South, was one of the most eloquent
speakers and brilliant writer's of his
time. In letter, dated st. Louis, Oct
5, 1856, 20 his daughter Claude he gives
the following wholesome councsel:
81 wish, my daughter, that you
would devote yourself to serious read
ing. 1t is necessary, not only to de-
velop your mind and make your
knowledge respectable in society, but
it is high moral duty. 1t isa grave
question whether Christian ought to
read any thing that does not increase
knowledge and prepare for life. The
very most that can be allowed on the
other side is little light readeng for
recreation; You, I fear, ale wasting
time with magazines and tales and
empty stories in general. This is
great evil; in fact, sin, Quit it. Read
history, biography, poetry, the English
classics: study the Bible in itsdoctrines,
principles, and history. You will
thus improve your mind, heart, char
acter. l want you TO be wise, good,
happy. The time has come for you to
prepare earnestly for life and its res
possibilities. A word to the wise is
sufficient"

Helping the Minister.

Wallace is seven years old. Ever
since he was three he had been a Sab.
bath-school boy. He loves Sabbath.
schools, but, till lately, he has not
liked going to church.
1t was 80 much pleasanter, he
thought, to stay at home, as he was
sometimes allowed, with mamma,
who was an invalid, and listen to
her stories from the Bible.
One day last Spring great change
came into Wallace's life; his papa, q
machinist, was suddenly kill.
ed.
When the next Sabbath came, Wal.
lace asked "Mayn't 1 come home aft
er Sabbath-school, and stay with
youw
But this lonely heart-broken nam
ma had the courage to say: mo, my
son. Remember, papa will not be
there to-day; and when the minister
looks from his pulpit and sees his emp
ty seat, it may trouble him. I think
be will like to see you in papa's
place."
So, that morning, at the close of Sab.
bath-school, the little man went at
once upstairs, and took the seat his IA
ther had occupied from week to week,
with rare exceptions, for years
back.
After service he hurried home to tell
his mother II guess I helped him a
little; cause he came and spoke to
me-"
Since then, every Sabbath, Wallace
feels that he has place to fill in the
church.
When sometimes the usher brings
strangers to that pew, the little boy by
the door, standing up, makes his slen-
der figure very small that they may
pass in, but never gives up "papa's
seat" to any one.
Not only the pastor but many of us,
while our hearts ache with pity, feel
confident that such boy with such
mother will some day take his good fa-
theirs place in the church and in the
world.-National Baptist.

To Prevent Revenue Frauds.

WASHINGTON, ID. g., May IS Sec
rotary Foster has directed the Co..
lector of Customs at New York to
refuse entry of goods in the name of
the custom house brokers or others

they disclose upon the entry the name
of the ultimate consignee or pur-
chaser, file q certified copy of the
invoice by which settlement for the
purchase of the merchandise is made,
and disclose all the facts and circum-
stances necessary to satisfy him that
the transaction Is free from the faint
of fraud. The secretary in his letter

"The recent investigation concern
ing valuable silks and other fine

big row has broken out between the
United States government and the
Chippewas of Minnesota, and the In
dams are in very ugly frame of
mind. A joint petition signed by up.

in the lawful currency OF the country.
The protest was brought about by
the Secretary of the Interior propos-
ing to invest the sum in quest ton in
the purchase of stock, farming uten-
slls, etc., and from the farther fact
that the Indians have been repeated
Iy assured by representatives of the
Government at different times that

Good Effect .Of the Mckinley Bill.
New YORK, May 1S.-There is great
activity in the pearl button industry
in Newark. Old factories, which
wer closed for some years, are now In
full operation, and new factories have
started up. All of them have more
orders than they can conveniently
fill.
Wages have been advanced from 40
to 80 per cent, and workmen who for
merly earned 81 week, when they
could get q weeks work, now earn
from $l6 so to $23. Several years ago,
there were about twenty-three fac
tories in Newark making pearl but
tons alone. A change in the tariff on
pearl buttons hadra disastrous effect
on the industry. In seven months
after the Mckinley bill went into
operation, the trade is almost re-
stored.
