cumstances. For example, a New
Jersey bank, with many Hungarian
miners among it's depcsitors, sus-
tanned run of two or three days

the significance of the CLOSED" card,
indicating suspension of the days
business at noon on Saturdays. Re
moving the card had no effect upon
the ignorant depositors. The trickle
had started, and soon broadened into
a dangerous crevasse. The ingenious
device Of stacking up immense piles
of money on the desks had the de-
sired effect. The Huns needed nc

A Noble Corps of Ignoble Men.

Probably the most remarkable
army division in the world is the
soreign lie lion OF France. 1t is this
legion which is invariably sent into
the greatest danger. Whenever
there are hardships to be borne to
which the French authorities do not
care to expose the regular troops the
foreign legion is invariably desig
mated for that purpose.
Naturally the question arises:
Why is this so?
The character of the men who fill
It's ranks is the explanation.
Almost without exception they are
men who, while brave beyond ques-
ton, have past which they wish to
bury. Many of them are serving un-
der incognitos and place no value
upon their lives. Fully so per cent.

THE famous Marshal SAKE had
more sense Of incongruity than those
who would give him honor. Under
Louis XIV. there seemed to be a sort
of fever for taking into the French
Academy men who were illustrious
for things other than literature.
When they would have conferred this
honor upon SAKE, he promptly Re.

A DRASTIC measure for the regula
tion and restriction Of foreign immi
grafton is before the Legislature OF
New South Wales. 1t regulates the
conditions of residence of foreigners
already resident in the colony, re-
stricts the immigration of persons
belonging to colored races, and abso-
lutely excludes all Asiatics, whether
subjects Of the Queen or not
There is a sentiment in favor of such
measure in the colony, but, as it
would have to receive the consent Of
the crown, it is not likely to become
a law in it's present form.

THERE is something cool in the
way the English papers speak of the
sinking of the Victoria as an "acci-
dent" In the. same way the fall of
the Ford Theater building in Wash
ington was called an accident. The
friends of those whose lives were
sacrificed in the last-named casualty
have discovered a method of ascer-
tanning whether it was accidental or
not; and the friends Of the drowned
crew of the Victoria will probably
make a similar discovery.

IF credence may be given to stats
tics presented in the late congress of
vegetarians at Chicago, the time is
drawing very near when the Texas
steer and the overgrown Canada
lamb will be only a memory. The
rapid increase Of population will
make meat food impossible for the
masses Furthermore, civilization be-
gins to abhor the idea of human be-
ings feeding on flesh, and then comes
the clinching argument of the enor-
nous financial saving that would re-
suit from purely vegetable diet. There
is much force in the views of the
vegetarians, but they are Wofully
lacking in discrimination. Dwellers
in the tropics may we'll be vegetari-
ans, but not SO with inhabitants OF
the arctic zone The former may
live on bananas, but the latter must
have their walrus and seal. The
average inhabitant of the temperate
zones will probably cease eating meat

THE revelations of the census on

ago. They show that in 1880 the
birth-rate throughout the country

1890 it had declined to 26.6S per
thousand. The rate and its fuctua-
tions vary in the various States.

Occasionally, however, he goes into the

Are Men Riders All Chumps?

''It has so happened said an emf
nent physician not long since, that |
have frequently had opportunities to
notice the difference between the riding
of men and women bicyclists, and |
have been much surprised at the con-
trast between the two. The women, as
a rule, are graceful, dignified and easy;
the men in the ma ority of instances
have looked more like agitated grass
hoppers than anything else that | could
imagine. They sprawl over their
wheels, sit with their spinal column al
most in a half-circle and act as though
it was necessary to work for dear life IN
order to get ahead.
II think it safe to say that not one
man in TWENTY-FIVE rides really well );
the women almost, if not altogether, re-
verse this rule, for very ungraceful
rider among them | rarely see. What
ever the reason may be, there is decided
need of reform for various reasons.
The stopped and strained position is
scarcely consistent with the popular
idea that this is a healthful exercise.
There are a number of diseases that are
aggravated by the unnatural posture
that most men-riders assume, and I'M
less there is a change IN the appearance
Of the members of the average wheel
mems club, medical men will find it
necessary to restrict this form of eXer

"Whether it is that the wheel is badly
adjusted or that the rider is really aWk-
ward and ungraceful is a disputed ques
ton, but whatever the facts may be, it
is time some reform is instituted and
that of a most vigorous kind. '-N6H

SUCCESSFUL SPECULATION.
How Stephen Girard Started His Drayman
ON the Road to Fortune.

ON the Road to Fortune.
The advice of shreWd business
man is sometimes Of more value,
even in a financial sense, than direct
/ aid.
It proved to be SO in the case Of a
| drayman who was employed by
Stephen Girard the Philadelphia
merchant.
One day the drayman, who was an
industrious, bright fellow with a
good many mouths to I'll at home,
was heard to remark that he wished
he was rich.
whats that?" sharply said Mr..
Girard, who heard the grumble.
"Oh," said the man, Il was only
wishing l was rich.
well, why don't you get rich?"
said the millionaire, harshly.
II don't know how without money!"
returned the drayman.
"You don't need money!" said Gil
rard.
"Well, if you will tell me how to
get rich without money, [ won't let
the grass grow before trying it," re-
turned the other.
"There is going to be ship load of
confscated tea sold by auction to-
morrow at the wharf. Go down
there and buy it in, and then come
to me-.
Il have no money to buy whole
ship-load of tea with" he said.
You don't need any money, | tell
you," snapped the old man. "Go
down and bid on the whole cargo,
and then come to me-"
The next day the drayman went
down to the sale. A large crowd of
retailers were present, and the auc-
tioneer said that those bidding would
have the privilege of taking one case
or the whole ship-load, and that the
bidding would be on the pound.
He then began the sale. A retail
grocer started the bidding, and the
| drayman raised him.
On seeing this, the crowd gaZed
with no small amount of surprise
When the case was knocked down to
the drayman, the auctiOneer said he
supposed the buyer desired only the
one case.
"I'll take the whole ship-load,"
coolly returned the successful bidder.
The auctioneer was astonished;
but, on some one whispering to him
that it was Girard's man who was
the speaker, his manner changed,
and he said he supposed it was all
right.
The news soon spread that Girard
was buying tea in large quantities,
and the price rose several cents.
GO and sell your tea" said Girard
to the drayman the next day.
The drayman was shreWd, and he
went out and made contracts with
several brokers 20 take the stock at a
shade below the market price, thereby
making a quick sale.
In few hours he was worth fifty
thousand dollars.
