Copper Market.

Copper.-The market continues very
dull, and, if anything, prices have given
way little. as Lake has been freely
offered at &c, without finding takers,
says the Engineering and Mining Jour
nal. This is probably due to the fact
that the sale made by the Calumet COM
pany some time ago involved a much
larger quantity than was then supposed
which, in the absence of the anticipated
better business has gone further than
was expected, and even resulted In some
people wishing they had not purchased
so largely. Under the circumstances, fl
would be unreasonable to expect even a
fair demand to arise until next month.
although if the tar r. bill should finally
be passed, and soon, that might bring
about better state of affairs. Arizona
copper must still be quoted at SIS @SA

New York Bank Losses.

It is said that the associated banks
of New York lost over $2,OOOOOO in the
week ending August through the OPP
erations of the United States sub-treas-
ury at New York. The decrease in the
average of cash shown by the clearing
house statement of that date was 3d.
465, 900 The decrease in deposits, how
ever, fails to correspond with this
change, and the falling off in loans
was only 100000 The result OF the
statement was decrease of $3.50, O25
in surplus.

On the principle that small bodies
sove with more dispatch than large,
and that it is easier for the small di-
rectory to govern the workings OF an
institution than large and ofttimes
unweildy one, the stockholders of the
State Bank Of Utah yesterday decided
upon a change in the articles of in
corporation, which would permit of
the election of fewer directors. Here
after body of nine viii compose the
governing board
The meeting of the stockholders had
been specially called for the purpose
of amending the articles of incorpora-
ton, wherein they refer to the num-
Der of directors of the institution, and
at the meeting 1870 out of the entire
5000 shares were represented. After
fun discussion of the matter, the
stockholders declared in favor Of a
change and the number Of directors
was fixed at nine. The election of di-
rectors was then proceeded with and
resulted as follows: Heber j. Grant,
B. Preston, p. T. Farnsworth, II. NJ.
Wells, Charles Burton, Spencer Claw
son, A. II. Cannon, Isaac Barton and
Joseph +. Smith. Sometime within
the next ten days the directors viii
meet and elect their executive officers.

book where the answers are more rid
Iiculous than some that have received.
A teacher once asked the definition
to the word average, and received the
answer that average is something that
a hen lays an egg on; and to prove this
she read the following piece from the
paper: "A hen, on an average, lays
flour eggs a week. He did not seem to
Ihave an idea of how many could be
laid in nice straw nest He evidently
thought an average was a place or q
machine.
Referring to the learning of defini-
uons-our children are woefully mis-
led, when there are no illustrations.
| There are two parts to a definition
the specific or particular part, and the
generic. The specific qualities the ge-
neric. L think these little three to four
dictionaries are worse than none. There
is no value of definition unless it con-
meets with some real element in my
mind. There are a good many words
that [ would not call for the definition
at all. AS a proof of the child's prep
aration, have him tell what he has
read or give summary of it. To test
their understanding have them read in
the class and then express the thought.
Reading should be connected with ev-
cry other study; thus you kill two
birds with one stone" All along have
one study help the other. This is the
doctrine of concentration. Reading is
the queen study, and should have great
stress placed upon it. Reading should
cultivate the observation and should be
more than mere mounting of words. AS
often as you can find time go over the
lesson with your pupils, calling their
attention to the different passages and
words Reading, to. a great extent, is
learned by imitation, both conscious
and unconscious. Unless your pupils
see what the author meant to picture
it is not reading. Let your imagination
loose, so that you can see what the
author saw. Read several selections
from prominent authors. Ask enough
questions to stimulate the activity of
the pupils and make them think
Tomorrow the subject will be history.

II is better TO live in some dis
comfort, than to live in the fear of
creditors whose bills we are not able
to pay. IL a man is in easy circums-
tame, the bland tradesman urges
you to buy and "pay when you
please If you are poor and your
character for honest, and integrity
is above reproach and you borrow
on that, you pawn your character.
If a man has the courage to say,
1Ao," when he is tempted to go into
debt, he may have to suffer some
privation, perhaps he may for some
what keenly bis want, but lie will
not imperil his honor nor suffer the
worry and discomfort of dunning
creditors.
Indirectly men incur indebtedness
that ruins them. To do a friend
favor BY the use of your name is often
necessary in business. 1t is simple
complying with the form ola bust
ness contract. He needs money,
and to borrow it requires security.
Still the responsibility for the entire
sum rests on the security which he
must pay if the principal fails.
Some Of the best and most honor
able men have been ruined by accom-
modating their trends. We do net
advise against security in all cases,
because that would make radical
change necessary in the business
world, or stop a large amount of
business transactions, but it is fool
