A Practical Joke.

saw most pernicious joke play
ed on man between Usage City and
Topeka, last week" said Clement F.
Stone, Of Newton, Kan, who was Mt
the Lindell recently. Two men
boarden the train at Usage City, and
took seat in the smoker just in
front of me. 1t was evident from
their conversation. which was carried
on in quite loud tone, that they
were, both Of them, in hard luck,
and were going to Topeka in search
of employment. One of them placed
his ticket on the seat while he lit a
very inferior cigar, and his compan-
ion quietly picked it up and put it
in his pocket. A few minutes later
the man missed his ticket, and went
through the usual pantomime of turn
ing out all his pockets and looking in
his hat lining. Knowing the con-
ductor would be round in a moment,
and also that he had not enough
money in his pocket to pay his fare
again, he began asking the advice of
his friend, who suggested gravely
that he crawl under the seat and try
and escape notice that way. There
seemed no other alternative for the
unfortunate man, who cramped him
self under the seat as suggested.
When the conductor came along the
practical joker handed him two tick
cts, and was OF course asked who the
second one was for, He replied that
it was for friend who preferred rid
ing under the seat, wbereupon the
victim Of the joke crawled out, and
amidst general laughter knocked the
dust of his clothes, anc promised to
break in his friends head on the first
opportunity" list. Louis Globe

Number Organized Since Last Years Panic
Larger Than Expected.
The number of national banks org anized
In the United States since the last report
of the Comptroller of the Currency, on
Oct 81. has been larger than was expected
by the officials, In view of the financial de-
preston. Periods of prosperity are usually
marked by the rapid extension Of the bank
ing system. and the year ending Oct 81, 90,
showed 3O7 new banking institutions under
national charters, with an aggregate cap
ital Of 500. 350,000 The number has not
been SO large In any year since, and was
only 1l9. with an aggregate capital OF
81. 230, 900, during the year ending Oct 81.
1894 Most OF these were organized before
the breaking out OF the panic in June and
many applications for new charters which
we're then on file were Withdrawn. and no
teffort has been made to complete the or
ganization. The past few months, how
ever, has shown a revival In the org aniza-
ton of new banks. and the number au thor-
lied from Oct 81 up to date has been
thirty four. Ten of them have been or
ganized since June I. Pennsylvania and
Illinois show the largest number of new
institu tions-four each-and Minnesota
comes next with three. Most OF the new

EARLY MARRIAGES.
Eeason Why Such Are TO Be Regretted
Here aud in Europe.

Here aud IN Europe
Though in this country early mar
riages are less frequent than in Europe,
beeasse here the occupations OF wom-
en- are so numerous that nearly
every young woman can maintain
herself respectfully by earning her
own living, while in Europe the
same class find matrimony almost
the only avenue through which
they can escape from dependent po-
sition at home, says the Boston Her
aid. 1t is none the less important to
know that the marriages contracted
before the parties have reached 20 are
to be regretted. The reasons are that
the offspring of women who are mar
ried before Is inherit the imperfect
physical development of their mothers
and do net reach mature life with
strong constitutions. The healthiest
offspring are born TO mothers between
20 and so, who are united TO husbands
between so and 40, and it has been
found in Europe, where early marriages
are very common, that the deaths
OF children from weak constitutions
are twice as large among the children
whose mothers were under 20 years of
age as they were among the children
of mothers who were over 80. The
difference between America and Eu-
rope in this matter of early marriages
is chiefly due TO the way in which our
girls are able to reach out TO self-sup-
port after they have attained a mar
riageeble age.
DR.. Cyrus Edison, in the North Amer
lean, gives important statistics to show
that, although in this country the evil
OF early marriages is not so great rs IL
might be, the number of brides under
20 who were married in New York city
in 1891 was 2,s39; in 1892 it was 5,959.
The number of grooms under 20 years
of age in New York city for that year
was 145. By far the greater number of
brides are reported to have been % or
20 when they were married, which IS
healthy showing for an American city,
and New York is probably a fair
evidence for the age of brides in other
large towns and cities. In Hungary
the girls become women at the age of
Is, and in that country Is per cent Of
the marriages shows the brides to be
under 30 years of age, and in England
10 per cent. are under that age. In
America girls are practically free TO
marry when they please and the in
stinct of self-preservation has guarded
them well
