NATIONAL BANKS.


Reports of the condition of the Ma
tional Banks at the close of business
December 20 are being received at the
Treasury Department in response Of
the call of the Comptroller of the
Currency. They show that the aver
age reserve of the banks reporting are
very large in some cases larger than
on the date of the previous call, Octo-
Der 8, indicating that the amount of
money still idle is very great.
REDEMPTION OF CURRENCY NOTES.
With the beginning ofthe new year
of the office of United States treasur-
er he will begin new system of book
keeping, 80 far as treasury notes are
concerned. The new system will save
considerable time and labor and lacil-
itate TO some extent the redemption
of worn and mutilated money. Under
the present system the United States
notes, treasury notes, gold and silver
certificates, when received for redemp-
tion, are credited on books of the de-
partment according to the series to
which they are composed. This en-
tails q great deal of labor which is
now considered unnecessary, especial
" in the case of United States notes,
of which there are six different series.
Hereafter the amount daily received
will be recorded as whole, and then
the new certificates will be issued in
return as heretofore. There is no
special significance attached to the
change, and it is said to be merely in
the direction of reform of methods.

threw open the shutters. But, al
though he had tucked himself away,
he had neglected TO hide his clothes.

chair The girls saw the clothing,
but, believing they had been left
Shere accidentally by the lady Of the
house, thought nothing about them

matters OF the day.

nervous as the minutes gradually
heightened into hours lie stood "a
for two hours, but at last grew SO ex'
asperaied that he thumped upon the
floor, and neekly put his head ou,

young women TO leave him until he

State Superintendent Stone reports
an active interest, and in many Sec
tions of the state especially good
work being done, among the schools.
He is kept busy attending teachers
meetings, and many practical ques-
tions are being asked and discussed.
Progress during the first year or two
after the adoption of the town system
must necessarily be slow, particularly
in those parts Of the state where most
opposition to the new departure ex-
listed, and where the devotees Of the
old district system were reluctant to
accept and make use of modern ideas
touching the management and deVel-
opment of schools. There is much
vet to be learned in Vermont, in con-
nection with the town system, and
frequent meetings of superintendent,
directors and teachers will aid mate
rally in smoothing out the rough
places and bringing about satisfac-
tory solution of the problem. Thus

|whole-seems 20 be working well, and
