Cheers Followed the Kisses.

The Boston Transcript tells the fol-
lowing story of Professor Blackie.
Blackie was lecturing to n new clnss
with whose personnel he was imper-
fectly acquainted. A student rose to
read paragraph, his book in his left
hand.
"Sir," thundered Blackic, "hold
your book in your right hand !" and
as the student would have spoken, -
"No words, sir Your right hand, |
say!"
The student held up his right arm,
ending piteously at the wrist. "5ir,
| hae nae right hand" he said.
Before Blackie could open his lips
there arose such storm of Kisses as
one perhaps must go to Edinburgh to
hear; and by it his voice was over
borne. Then the professor left his
place and went down to the student
he had unwittingly hurt, and put his
arm around the lads shoulders and
drew him close, and the lad leaned
against his breast.
"My boy" said Blackie-he spoke
very softly, yet not so softly but that
every word was audible in the hush
that had fallen on the class room
''my boy, you'll forgive me that was
over rough? did not know-I did
not know!" He turned to the stu.
dents, and with look and tone that
came straight from his great heart, he
said,
'And let me say to you all, am re-
joiced to be shown that / am teaching
Il class of gentleThen."
Scottish lads can cheer rs well N
hiss, and that Blackie learned.

sfArE TREASURER MoERIsoN's DISCOVERY
ABOUT THE STATE BANKS.
HARRIsBuRG-State Treasurer Morrison
has been investigating the banks OF the
state on his own account and finds a satisfac.
tory yet leculiar condition OF affairs. In an.
ticipation Of the existing stringency the
banks have been swelling their cash reserve
far in excess of the requirements OF the
national government. The balance sheet OF
the treasury. he says, will show a surplus
OF over $50 5000 on September /, but mitch
Of this does not belong to the State. Under
the Boyer act three fourths OF the personal
property tax must be returned to the coun
ties, and when certain large appropria tions
10 educational and charitable institution
have been paid the surplus will be about
right. In 20 0 the state treasurer will be
permitted to open a letter on file in the de-
rariment stating sum on deposit in the
Girard trust ccmI any's vaults in Philadel-
phia to the credit of the state.

SuDerstitiOn i'm Business.

At No. 13 of certain street in this
city, several accidents have happened
that tenants promptly ascribe to the
unluckiness of the number They
have moved away in consequence OF
this belief, and the property has really
deprecated in value. SO serious is
this relation of superstition to bust
ness that lawyer says he would dis
criminate against any place numbered
thirteen, not that he has any faith in
its omen, but that other people have,
and would give it bad name. He
would not advance rs much for instance,
