Spanish yellow as a Garniture.

slight variations of shade also making
all the great difference between the

he at once comprehended the whole

Demoralizlng Practice.

Permitting large and promiscuous
overdrafts in the banking business is
a pernicious practice and detrimental
to the best interests of banking in
general. Those banks which require
notes and securities for every dollar
loaned need have little fear in times
of stringency. Unsecured overdrafts
are one of the ugly phases Of the Pa
cif1c Banks report Of assets and Ia
glance at the list covering large
amounts, is enough to convince
conservative business men Of the
rottenness of the concerns way Of do
ing business.
For merchants to extend line of
indiscriminate credit on book ac-
counts is also practice which should
receive the same corrective attention
which the San francisco Clearing
House has already given to the draft
nuisance. The difficulty with an
open account Is that no fixed time is
evident on its face at which it shall.
be closed, and room is thus left for
frequent disputes, disagreements and
litigations. We observe quite gen.
eraI movement in some parts Of the
country to ADJUST the credit system
to some approach to equity and bust
ness-like regulation. II buyers of
goods cannot pay cash they ought not
to object to giving notes or paper
which the jobber or other merchant
may use at bank in case or need. Ex-
perience in the business world has
long since shown that the man who
is required to meet his obligations
promptly, can do so often with less
discomfort than when he is allowed
much more latitude. A habit of
prompt pay begets confidence, and
extensions may often be obtained by
such a man where others unused to
the business-like ways Of banks need
ask no favors with any hope of re-
ceiving them. "Pay as yeu go or
don't go" is very good maxim to OBJ
serve But credit appears as yet to
be necessary part of our commercial
system, hence to curtall, regulate, and
reform it is a pressing need Of the
day. A very long stride in the right
direction therefore would be the sub
stituti0n of securities for overdrafts
at bank, and for book accounts with
the merchant.-Cal Fruit Grower.

HAVING A TOOTH PULLED.
Laughing Cos C.ased the Patient . Hea,
OF Trouble.

Il -
OF Trouble.
The dentist assured the tall man
thatif he took laughing gas the extrac.
ton OF his tooth would not hurt and
so he settled back in the chair and
the dentist administered the angs-
thetic. The tall man was soon in
dreamland. He first imagined that
ne was On his way to the Worlds
Fair, and when the train was on the
down grade and going sixty miles an
hour the wheels left the track. The
air brakes broke, and the cars rushed
along at terrible speed. Tt was
with the greatest difficulty that the
dreamer kept in his berth Tremen-
dous Jolting was caused by the wheels
running over the ties The suspense
was something awful: the wreck of
the train was inevitable. The car
was filed with the shrieks of the
terrified passengers, mingled with
the crash of glass and the rattle Of
the train. Suddenly there was a
deafening report and a tremendous
conclusion, and the cars appeared to
crumble away. The tall man found
himself in total darkness, but sud-
denly, to his horror, he discovered a
streak Of lurid fame through the
wreckage, which told him that he
would be roasted alive if immediate
succor did not reach him. He could
hear voices directly over him, but do
as he would not sound could he
utter The flames were making rapid
progress toward the place where he
was confined, and their hot breath
was beginning to SINCE his whiskers
Then came the crash of an ak di-
rectly over his head. The first blow
struck him sQuarely in the back of
the neck, and he felt that his time
had surely come. The next one cut
off his left ear, and the third opened
up a space in his Uranium the size of
a saucer. The fire had now crept up
to his feet, and the left one was
slowly roasting. when another blow
from the ak, greater than all the rest.
knocked his head clean from his
body. He experienced singular
buzzfng in his ear; there was CLEAN
OF light in the distance, and with
bound he returned to conscious
ness.
The doctor vas standing over him,
holding double tooth in his forceps.
'That was an old stager. and no
mistake. How he did hang! 1t took
all my strength to dislodge him."
and the doctor wiped his dripping
forehead with his handkerchief
"Where a-a-am II" were the first
words of the tall man.
"Why right here in my office" re-
sponded the doctor. "You would
have had a tough time if you hadn't
taken the gas"
SWELL, if it had been rougher than
it actually was l would now be a
corpse" and the tall man paid the
81. so and went out into the street,
feeling as if he had been walking in a
treadmilI for a week.

Too Large a Story.

Among the Open Letters Of the
Century Magazine is one containing
the following anecdote of Mr. Francis
Z. Blair, who, though not an officer
OF the Government, was more emin-
ent than either of his sons, Mont
gomery Blair, member of President
Lincoln'S Cabinet, and Frank P.
Blair, Major General in the Union
Army His son-in-law was an ad-
miral in the Navy. During the last
years Of his life Mr.. Blair lived in
Montgomery County, Maryland, not
very far from Washington.
One day during the Civil War, Mr..
and Mrs Blair were riding about the
country On horseback. according to
their daily custom. They were about
eighty years of age; Mr.. Blair wore
green veil about his hat to shade his
eyes from the dazzling sunlight, and
his wife, for the same reason, had
pulled her large bonnet far over her
face.
They were we'll known by the
country people for miles about Silver
Spring, where they lived, but the
roads into Washington were guarded
by picketS some of whom were
deficient in local knowledge. It
CHANGED that one of these men was
struck with the odd appearance of
the couple, COMFORTING so i'll with the
fine blooded horses they rode, and
when they came in sight of him he
called. ''Halt!" He asked the usual
which were all answered
and then added one of
his own:
"Well, who are you, any way?"
The cid gentleman looked at his
wife with smile of quiet humor,
and asked:
BETTY. who are WEI"
Smiling in her turn, the old lady
turned to the picket and said:
swell, guard, what would you think
If I said we had son who was
Cabinet Minister, and another son
who was a Major General, and an
other son who -
''And suppose" interrupted the
guard, 'you will say, another son
who is an Admiral!"
"Yes," responded the old lady, san
Admiral also"
'Well, now, old woman" said the
soldier, ''that's coming it a little too
strong. If you had LETT out the Ad-
miral I might have believed you; but
as it is think you are both subjects
for headquarters. So come along"
There was no course open but that
of submission, aud the three rode
along together. At length a group
of officers approached. and halted to
speak to the captured ''rebels."
"WhN" said one of them to Mr..
Blair, ''what does this mean? One
might suppose you were prisoners.
and on your way to headquarters"
"Well." said Mr.. Blair, so we
are"
The officer turned upon the crest
fallen picket, and demanded what he
had been doing.
"Why, SIR" he explained, in an
abashed undertone, when / ques-
toned the old man, I believed he was
all right, but when the old woman
told her story about her having one
son in the Cabinet, and one son a
Major General, and then on top Of
that added another son an Admiral,

spies! So / arrested 'em on the

rhe Prprresa of vo1apuk.

It Is very interesting fact that the
world language. Volapuk, is not only
coming to be spoken conversationally by
its enthusiastic votaries, but Is TO be
madea medium of interlingual colnmu-
nication at the Worlds Columbian fair.
A complete record of progress made in
spreading Volapuk since that delightful
national convention of its yotaries was
held in Boston, considerably more than
a year ago, would astonish all but the
few who keep closest watch on the move
ment. A significant circumstance is
that recently the Young Peoples Society
of Christian Endeavor of the Peoples
church, Boston, formally adopted Vola-
puk as a study for that organization,
and class of forty members expected
to double shortly was formed, to meet
each Monday evening in the church's
reading room for instruction.
Other noteworthy instances are as fol
lows: The people of Newton, quite at
their own request, are to have lecture
on Volaprk under the auspices of a
ladies' association there. Salem and
Gloucester are to have lectures in Janu-
ary, and the interest all over the coun-
try is similarly manifested. Newspaper
lessons, published simultaneously all
over the maritime provinces, Canada
and the United States, have been given
weekly since Oct. 10. Thu students
write out the exercises of the lessons and

The Quickest way to Cure Cold.

Do you wish to know the quickest way

cure cold quickly, it must be treated

severe cases there is thin white coating
