A NATIONAL BANK PLAN.

Congressman NJ. D. Harter of Ohio is a Democrat, but he believes in national bank system, and he has thought out plan of his own for the perpetuation of national bank issues. He would base the notes on deposits of State, county, city and railroad gold bonds under strict limit ations. Bonds to be acceptable must have been listed on some leading stock exchange for five years prior to deposit against cir culation, and never have been in default or sold below par within three years. For safety and to discourage the increase of debts, no State bond representing a per capita debt of over $2, or county bond representing a debt of over $4, or city bond representing debt of over $8 per capita shall be accepted. Railroad bonds must all be secured by mortgage and nc bank shall have more than twenty per cent. of it's bond deposits in securities of any one issuer. When bond on deposit sells below 105 the controller of the currency shall order it replaced by more valuable bond and when rail- road ceases to pay dividends on it's stock it's bonds on deposit must also be replaced. Penalties against the issuing of false statements of earnings and condition of the property by railroad menagers should be provided. MT. Harter would also re- vive State bank issues by repeating the present tax on circulation, but all State issues must be secured exactly as the na- tional bank issues, and be under control of the State. And finally State and na- tional banks shall pay tax of per cent. on their circulation, shall be suffered to issue up to 90 per ceut. of the par value of bonds deposited, and shall redeem their notes in legal tender m oney of the United States. Thus when money rates below 2 per cent. on call, banks would be moved to l contract their issues.
 ! MT. Harter has been banker and his | plan shows that he has carefully studied
 financial problems. Perhaps it's weakest
 point is that it would give an opportunity
 for increasing bank issues several hun. l dred millions.

necessary for such rainfalls is not due en- tirely to the mid-air explosions, the energy being stored up in the moist air; and that the meteorological conditions which must exist for the successful action of mid air explosions would probably in most, al- though not in all, cases themselves result in the natural production of rain.
 It is related that last summer Ne braska young man disappeared from his home, leaving word that he was going to of Holy Writ. The other day he came home, leading calf, and on meeting his father he said: ''Well, father, I have had enough of time to last me the rest of my life. Will you take back your prodigals I have brought calf with me-" To which the old man replied, q see two calves, my son; but let that pass. need another hired man, and if you will keep straight I'll take you on," ''By gum, yer white man, dad," replied the son, and he immediately went to work to show that he had reformed. As for the calf, it was decided not to kill it, as it was of blooded stock, and when raised will be a valuable COW.
 The rapidity with which a new metal is applied to purposes hitherto undreamed of is peculiarly characteristic of our times. Among the latest evidences of it's progress is the use of aluminium in the construction of sound boards for stringed musical in struments. It has been found to possess @ latent quality, so it is asserted, which makes it highly valuable for this purpose, the "metalic tones produced by the use of other metals being conspicuously absent, and it possesses an elasticity capable of sympathetic vibration uniform ly through wide range of tone pitch, which renders it in this respect superior to wood. A piano-making firm in New York is now making piano with an aluminium sounding board, in order to test the prac- tical worth of the discovery.
 Speaking of Labrador, recent traveller says: There is no law or any courts there. True, it is Canadian territory, and the lighthouses upon the coast and through the Straits of Belle Isle are under the care of and supplied by the Colonial Board of Quebec, but there has never been any at tempt to establish courts, build school houses or in any way to interfere with the domestic or political relations of the in habitants. There are no taxes there. Every man does as he pleases, so far as fear of the law is concerned, but notwith- standing this I heard of but few bad actions on the part of the people. Fish and seal abound there. The schools of cod are remarkable. I have seen enough codfsh in one school to satisfy the stomach of England and America for whole year. At Blanc Ssblons Harbor, or what is called the "Jersey Rooms," in the Straits of Belle Isle, they tell of haul of herring in a mammoth seine from which they filled 5000 barrels of fish, and then had to cut the seine, letting out ten times as many fish as they had barreled.

A BUSINESS GOVERNMENT.

Cleveland is trying an experiment in city government which will be watched with deep interest. It has been in operation six months. The plan is modelled some what after that of the federal government. The mayor is the central and commanding figure, who is to be held responsible by the people for the administration of affairs. He has complete control of all executive matters and to assist him must, with the approval of the council, select 8 cabinet, in this case known as the board of control, of six members, who are to be the heads of the six departments into which the executive business of the city is divided, viz: Public Works, Law, Accounts, Police, Fire, and Charities and Correction. The director of public works has charge of all street Improvements, street-cleaning, wa terworks, sewers, bridges, and parks; the director of law is corporation council; the director of accounts is comptroller; the di- rector of police has the management of the police force, health office, sanitary police and weights and measures; the director of fire manages the fire department, and the director of charities and correction has charge of the workhouse, infrmary, hos pitals, and cemeteries. In these six direc- tors and the mayor is vested all the power before divided between thirteen boards of from three to five members each. The mayor is paid s6,O00, the director of law $5,000, and each of the other directors S4, 900 year salary. Besides this concen- tration of executive functions, the council is reduced from forty to twenty members, and instead of being elected as of old, one from each ward, is now chosen two from each of the ten districts; and a moderate salary is paid members, conditional upon attendance at each meeting.
 There appears to be more business than politics in this government. It has work ed very we'll so far and much more that is good is expected of it.

Indian Summer.

Like paest gold the mellow sunlight creeps Across the porch and thro' the open door, And spreads a checkered carpet on the floor. The gardens last red poppy, nodding, sleeps, The one bee in it's heart his senses steeps With most delicious languor one slim stalk Of hollyhock still bends beside the walk Starred with it's lovely flowers In soft heaps Like sweet dead dreams-wind shaken rose
 leaves lie;
 The opal's fire burns in the cloud that float Across the delicate azure of the sky.
 The wind is one low, soft Roiian note; Aud yellower than the primrose east at,morn, Stretch the wide, undulating fields of corn
