In another column the Mt. Sterling
National Bank presents its statement
ofits condition at the close Of bust
ness June 80. The statement speaks
for itself and one has but to glance at
the figures to see the splendid show
ing this institution has made. This is
the only National Bank in the city.
Its soundness has never for one mo-
ment been called in question during
its entire history of eighteen years.
1t paid its stockholders a semi-annual
dividend of A per cent and had money
to pass to its surplus fund. This is
one of the institutions to which the
city can point with pride, the officials
enjoying to a rarely remarkable de-
gree the confidence and respect of
their entire business acquaintance.

Danger of Swallowing Seeds.

Medical journals and their contents SO
rarely como before the people at large
that laymen are now and then moved to
dilatc upon some OF the ills which flesh
is heir to, and which with intelligence
might be averted. The recent death of
young college professor in my neigh
borhood, resulting from having swal-
lowed an orange seed, prompts me to
again revert to the danger of swallowing
hard seeds of any kind, that are not di-
gested in the stomach, says writer in
Table Talk. This young man is the
fifth victim 1 have known to die
of getting seed in the ''ap-
pendiS," that intestinal cul-de-sac which
seems to be of no use but to kill people
now and then. Any hard or indigcsti-
bic substance, often grape Seed some
times piece of oyster shell, slipping into
it in its passage through the intestines
aud unable tic get out, produces intense
inflammation and suffering, ending in
death in three or four days. Cases have
been known where the seed has become
encysted and death has not directly en-
sued. A few very skillful and ex-
pSilcHCcu I)uySlClduS now Cillm CnnC tncy
know the symptoms of appendix indam-
nation so well that if the patient is i'm
mediately acted upon, surgically, hts life
may be saved. But, undoubtedly, the
ailment generally passes for excruciating
inflammation of the bowels or bilious
trouble, which yields to nothing but
death. OF course, we are all doomed to
die sometime; and if one has constantly
to bear in mind care of himself, life he.
comes in degree burdensome. But
there are certain things most persons IN
stinctively avoid as being dangerous.
and with generation or two OF special
culture in cschewing seeds, especially in
the education of children, it would be-
come as natural and easy to avoid swal-
lowing them as it is now with many
persons to gulp them down in eating
fruit. Speaking with Spanish Indy
day or two ago about eating grapes, she
exclaimed: ''Why, I never swallow
grape seedsl should as soon think of
swallowing so much shot. In Spain no
one swallows the seeds of grapes"

call Noon or EelevEart. They believe
that divinities of second order, called

harm or good. Their ministers or
