A MORE complete and perfect job
of bank looting never was done in
this country than that by which the
National Savings Bank, of Buffalo,
n. Y, was brought to ruin. 1t now
appears that an examination of only
one-half of the pass-books reveals
defalcations amounting to nearly half
a million dollars. Thus far only the
trifing sum OF $4,000 has been
turned in, in money and property, to
Offset theA stealings. The rascals
would have carried of the building if
they had been left alone a little
longer.

The garniture is of braided effect.
The jacket has double fronts, the under
reaching only to the waist and hooking
in the middle; the upper fronts have no
darts. In this costume white and mauve
would go charIningly together. Mauve
is very modish this season, or rather
what they call mauve, which, however,
is not always the pale shade Of violet
that rightly goes by that name.
Silk blouses clos ng In front with gilt
buttons and made with turn-down coll

to carry out the masculine conceit, you
must wear over this blouse long ia ket

Buttons, pockets and makeup are in

WHEN the coal monopoly was or
ganized it was solemnly announced
that the object was to do away with
unnecessary expenses, TO save money
TO producers and carriers, and not to
extort more money from consumers
But no sooner had the monopoly been
effected than production was limited
and prices forced up. One advance
after another has been announced
and the people are helpless. AS
matters now are the monopoly regu-
lates the output and fixes the wages
at one end OF the line and dictates
the prices at the other. The miners
are at its mercy In one case and so
are the consumers in the other. Is
there no remedy?

Inventor DaVy and Love.

Sir Humphry Davy, the inventor of
the Davy lamp, found love something
of a delusion, if not a snare. Writing
to his mother, he said, 81 am the hap
piest of men in the hope of a union with
a woman equally distinguished for vir-
tues, talents and accomplishments"
And in a letter to his brother he express
es his rapture thus: Mrs. Apprece has
consented to marry me, and when the
event takes place | shall not envy kings,
princes or pOtentates."
The widow must have been a person
possessed of great powers of fascination,
for Sir Henry Holland makes mention
of her as a lady who made such a sensa-
ton in Edinburgh society that even a
regius professor did not think it beneath
his scholarship to go down on his knees
in the street to fasten her shoe. The
sequel need not be dwelt upon further
than to add that the marriage turned
out to be altogether a mistake.-Cas-

Durability of Ancient Ink.

The labor required in making the man
uscript books of ancient days was far
beyond the understanding of the men of
the present day who possess all the
modern adjuncts to that art. AS these
books were intended to last for many
years, answering the same purpose as
our printed tones, the great d~esideratum
in their preparation was durability. AS
a natural consequence, those who made
them not only selected the best quality
of parchment or other material to write
upon, but also paid particular attention
to the quality Of the ink used in such
work.
That they were successful in making
the latter is evidenced by the fact that
in the majority of instances the char
acters inscribed on the most ancient
manuscript rolls now preserved in the
British museum and elsewhere are very
legible, the ink being bright and black
and showing but little evidence of it's
great age. 1t is supposed that the SUI
perior quality of lampblack, prepared in
a manner now unknown, was the true
cause of this beautiful and lasting color
of the ink in questiOn.-Detroit Free
Press.

Lighthouse Lamps and Lenses.

In lighthouses there are six orders of
lights, graded according to their inten-
sity. The lamp of the lowest OF sixth
order, which consumes only half a gill
of coal oil an hour, gives about as much
light as al ordinary parlor reading
lamp SAY II candle power, while the
largest or first order lamp, which burns
sixteen gills an hour, gives 45O candle
power of light. But while the naked
flame of the lamp gives this much light,
the French Fresnel lens in which the
lamp is set cOndeases and concentrates
this light, so hat it is multiplied in
power many times. Thus the little l.
candle power flame of thu sixth order
lamp has in a lens a power of 10 candles
and the great $50 candle power light OF
the first order lamp, when placed in its
enormous lens, gives a power of some
-, 900 candles. Such a lens is - feet
high and has a diameter Of 6 feet

A Bear Easily Caught.

A party Of hunters on the Florida
coast came suddenly upon 4 bear prowl-
ing about the wreckage on the beach.
Bruin would first look at an article, then
smell it, touch it with his paw and final
ly, after deliberately seating himself,
with his hind legs projecting in front,
turn his head on one side and try 70
crack his new acquisition with his teeth.
The burlesQue gravity of his
was in~describable
He threw away a cOcoanut, as being
too hard to chew, ate an orange with
great satisfaction and presently discov-
cred a small cask, which he endeavored
to open. By dint of much biting he en-
farged the bunghOle 90 that he could in
sert a paw; then he held the cask ON one
arm and kept the other paw busy in
rapid Journeys thence to his mouth.
But this method Of getting at the con-
tents did not satisfy him, and presently.
standing erect on his hind feet, he in
serted his nose in the barrel, and then
his head. Now, a bears nose is so sharp
that it goes through a small place very
easily, but owing to the heavy folds of
skin about the neck, and the fact that
the hair and ears are set backward, it
does not possess the same facility for
coming out.
Bruin wac fast. He began to pull
back, but a. he pulled the barrel came
with him, and as he rolled on his back,
paving Intellectually at its convex sides,
it merely revolved about his head, as if
it were on a pivot. Then, alarmed by the
sound of u laughter, he took fright
and ran, wearing the cask on his head
like a helmet.
Up the hill he rushed, lost all sense of
direction and rolled head over heels
squarely among us. Picking himself
up he reared and began growing and
waving his paws, but was speedily re-
leased by one of the negroes, who broke
the barrel with a blow from his club
and scattered the mackerel with which
it had been filled.
The bear rewarded him for this serv-
ice with a blow of the paw which laid
him on the sands, and in another second
was himself stretched there by the dis
charge of two rifles. Wild Sports in

Rainmaking by Faith.

Some forty years ago, on a clOudless
Sabbath morning, the president of ODER
lin college, Professor Phinney, walked
briskly to the chapel-there had been a
distressing drought-and began the ser,
vice with an extremely fervent prayer
for rain. The prayer vas long, and be-
fore it was finished the skies began to
darken, and almost before the congre-
cation was dismissed a copious rain be-
gan to fall. The suggestive fact in this
relation is that President Phinney had
been observed during the morning to
give very watchful attention to the ba-
rometer.-H. Chandler in Science.

Paper a Hundred Years Hence.

Experts are predicting that the books
of today will fall to pieces before the
middle of the next century. The paper
in the books that have survived two or
three centuries was made by hand of
honest rags and without the aid of
strong chemicals, while the ink was
made Of nutgalls. Today much of the
paper for books is made, at least in part,
of wood pulp treated with powerful
acids, while the ink is a compound of
various substances naturally at war
with the tiimsy paper upon which it is
laid. The printing of two centuries ago
has improved with age; that of today, it
is feared, will within fifty years have
eaten its way through the pages upon
which it is impressed.-Paper World.
