BRIEF AND STRIKING STORIES
Some are Funny and Some are Not.

WOMEN AND THEIR BANK ACCOUNTS.
New York Tribune.
81 cannot understand" remarked a
teller in an uptown bank recently, dur
ing one of the lulls in business, "why the
more sensible young ladies' schools in
the country do not add to their curricu-
lum course, however brief, in banking
and accounts. Few girls have any prac-
tical idea of such things, and it is really
extraordinary how ignorant are many
women with property about the details
of its care, and though they can draw a
check, they seldom know how to ascer-
tain their balance or prove it. L know
of wealthy woman who keeps an ac-
count for convenience in New York
bank during the winter, and closes it out
in the spring, when she leaves the city.
Last spring she visited a certain large
jewelry store and purchased a wedding
present for friend, giving in payment
her check for $75. In doing so she said
that she wished the check deposited i'm
mediately as she closed her bank ac-
count when she left the city.
1.-Two days later she called at the bank,
drew out all the money to her credit, and
calmly left the city. The summer pass
ed, and she received no acknowledgment
of the wedding gift, but her perplexity
at this turned to horror when on return
ing to the city she learned that the pres
ent had actually been sent c. o. d. In
vestigation showed that the check in
payment for the gift had reached the
donors bank the day after she had
drawn out her balance. The jewelry
store people, instead of looking up their
customers, which in this case would
have been an easy task, stupidity sent
her present collect and forced situa-
ton very hard to explain, but which
arose simply from inability to subtract
the total of drafts from the total of de-
posits."

uYPOCRITICAL

pittsburgh Commercial Gazette.
The pretense that the Democratic
party is the farmers friend is hypocrit-
ical. Their policy of free wool, that
would kill the sheep industry, and their
demand for the repeal of reciprocity,
which has opened South American mar
kets for millions of dollasr worth of
agricultural products, are directly hostile
to the interests of the farmer. The
Democratic party is never strong with
the farmer. 1t does not carry the ag
ricultural States. Its hope is in the
cities, where the ignorant and vicious
classes huddle.

more for me than all other medicines

Irrefutable evidence that the McKin-
ley law is developing American industry
and securing the home market to the
home producer is found in the fact that
the imports of iron and steel manufac-
lures which for the nine months ending
March 81, 1891. were $34,S02,652 were
only $19,649,2SS for the corresponding
period ending March 81. 1892.

THE CZAR's JEw-HUNT.
London Daily News.

London Daily News.
The 4th of May 70. S. writes our
Odessa correspondent, being the last day
of the twelve months notice given last
year to all foreign Jews to leave Russia,
there is just now hurried exodus from
all the chief points of departure in
Southern Russia, and from this center
more especially. There are still about
5000 So called foreign Jews, for years
resident in Odessa, who must leave, at
whatever cost and loss, within the next
couple of weeks The Russian steamer
which left here yesterday for the Levant
again carried more than 400 of the refu-
gees. On the quay were assembled a
crowd of some 5000 Jews to see their
co-religionists depart, and some touch
ing scenes were witnessed. The worst
feature of these bi-weekly departures is
the behavior of the police and mounted
gendarmerie, who, under cover of their
instructions to keep passage open to
the ships gangways, disperse the crowd
in all directions by free use of their
whips. 1t is difficult to say where all
the Jews now being forcibly expelled
will find new locations. AS L have pre-
viously stated, the great majority of
these so-termed foreign Jews are really
Russian Hebrews, who many years ago
acquired, for obvious purposes, some
foreign citizenship.

GENERAL GRANTS PHOTOGRAPH.
Professor NJ. B. Brady said in a recent
conversation with correspondent: "a
was the first man to make General Grant
known to the people. 1 photographed
him when he came East at the close OF
the Vicksburg campaign. caught him
at the depot, and he came to my gallery
at 4:30 one afternoon with Secretary
Stanton. Stanton came in first and told
me Grant was ready to have his picture
taken, and l told him to come right in
A moment later General Grant was
standing in my gallery with half doz-
en- cameras bearing upou him to take
him from all sides. 1t was so late in the
afternoon and the light was so weak
that we feared to lose him, and we pro-
posed to use every means possible to
get good likeness.
81 then sent one of my assistants up
to the roof to pull back the skylight to
its full length. The man appreciated our
anxiety to get the picture. He was very
nervous in the presence of Gen. Grant,
and was so excited with the fear that
we would lose the sitting that he stum-
bled on the skylight and fell full length,
knocking an immense pane out of the
plate glass, which fell at the feet of
Grant. Had it struck him it would Ger
tainly have killed him, and when it fell
everybody started up with exclamations.
L shall never forget the action of Grant.
He never moved and not a feature of
of his face changed, saving slight
satirical curl which appeared upon his
lip. | can see him now as he stood
there looking at the plate glass at his
feet. However, L got very good picture
of him, and L took him number of
times afterward."
