A Visitor from the Moon.

A remarkably fine specimen of me-
teoric iron (Which, according to Prof.
Tschermel's views, is simply piece of
ore projected through volcanic agency
from the face of the moon) has been
sent from Rockingham county, S. c.,
to the state museum at Columbia. Its
greatest length Is not above twelve
inches and its thickness through the
thickest part is about two inches. In
general shape it is fat, though some
what conceived on one side and con-
vexed on the other, as if broken off
from the outer surface of a rounded
and larger mass. 1t is entirely coated
with thick crust of dark brown rust
and weighs twenty-five and three
quarter pounds

Not Sure 1t Was His Own Hat,

Gen. Wright, while in New York on
q recent trip, put up at big Broadway
hotel, where they had one of those
door boys at the entrance to the dining
room with memory that is phenome-
nal. When Gen. Wright went into
dinner upon his arrival the boy took
his hat and put it in the rack along
with couple of hundred others, many
of them seemingly exactly like it. About
threc-quarters of an hour later the
general strollcd out and asked for his
hat. Instead of picking over the en-
tire lot in the rack, as the general
moro than half expected he would, the
boy selected the generals hat as
though by intuition and handed it to
him.
GLOW did you know that was my
hat?" asked Gen. Wright, his curiosity
aroused.

said the boy, but 1 knowed hit was

SAVINGS BANKS FOR STAMPS.
To De Introduced Into the Boston Public
Schools Very Shortly.

To De introduced Into the Boston Public
Schools Very Shortly.
It is proposed to introduce stamp
savings banks" in the Boston public
schools. From various Offices colored
stamps OF six denominations and stamp
cards viii be obtained. To each per-
son wishing to become depositor the
local treasurer gives him a stamp card
and sells him IS many stamps as he has
money for. These stamps must be
pasted on the card. The card, when
full, will probably contain about five
dollars.
As soon as the child has stamps for
that sum the money is taken and de-
posted for him in some savings bank
that he may designate. The five dol
lars once deposited he begins again,
and the small sum grows to larger
one under his hands. If he wishes to
withdraw he presents his card and
draws all that is on it Then If he has
more money than he cares to use he
calls for another card and redeposits
the balance.
By this method all bookkeeping is
avoided, the child always knows inst
how much he has. and the local treas
urer can tell in the same manner. II
the child loses the card. however, he
loses his money or, rather, all that he
carried on that card
