Mark Twain's Debt Paying Tour.

Mark Twain's Debt Paying Tour.
In the heroic resolve to spin from
bis brain the money necessary to wipe
out great accumulation Of debt Mark
Twain has two notable examples. One
was Sir Walter Scott, who, when an
old man, undertook to pay and did ao-
tually pay to the last farthing load Of
debt under which the hearts Of most
men 30 years younger would have
quailed. The strain killed him, how
ever. The other example is that Of brave
Susan B. Anthony in our own country.
When The Revolution, suffrage paper
established by herself, Parker Pillsbury
and Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton
failed, it was $4,000 behind That
sum Miss Anthony took on herself to
pay Thirty years ago $4,000 was as
much as $50, 900 would be now There
were not SO many people in the country
to go to lectures, and the facilities for
getting about were much poorer than
they are now. Yet Miss Anthony perse-
vered in her heroic endeavor till the last
dollar Of the obligation was met and
abe walked the earth free woman.
Success will certainly attend the great
American humorist, all the more as he
has the best wishes Of civilized man
kind with him. Through Australia.
India and South Africa he will 60
wherever people have laughed till they
cried over the 'tInnocents Abroad and
f'Tom Sawyer Then next year he will
come home and tour his own country.
In four years he expects to have met all
his obligations, after which, at the age
Of Ga, says Mark, II can make a fresh
and unincumbered start in life' Good
lack attend him wherever he goesl

Switzerland's New Banking System.
A revolution in the Swiss method Of
issuing money has taken place. Under
the old system both cantonal and private
banks issued money. There was no gov
eminent restriction on them to speak
Of. An association Of private bankers
decided how much paper might be put
upon the country and the members Of
that association bowed to the decision.
Hereafter, however, both the canton
al and the private institutions, as banks
Of issue, will be done away. The repub-
lie Of Switzerland, through state bank,
will itself issue all the paper money Of
the country. The banks at present in ex-
istence can exchange their bills for those
of the state bank. They can also at all
times obtain supply of money from
the state bank for the transaction Of
their business. The central bank will
rediscopnt the bills of the other banks.
Thus the banking business will be d.
vided into two distinct branches. The
government bank will issue all the
money and supply currency to the local
banks in return for bills receivable for
discount. A slight charge will be made
for the rediscour ting, sufficient to pay
expenses. The local banks will confne
themselves to the other banking trans
actions, such as leaning money, receiv-
ing deposits, etc. If this system were
adopted in the United States, the ma
tional banks would surrender their DOW.
er Of issuing money and the government
would take charge of that, supplying
currency as the banks required it. It is
believed in Switzerland that under this
system the amount Of currency circula-
zion will regulate itself.

from its streets altogether. A stable in

down the rental of buildings in it's vi

too, that if we would keep ourselves
and our children with clear skins,
bright intellects, good digestion, rich
colored, healthy blood and strength for
work we must regularly take fruit and
vegetables, since they are more neces-
sary for the support Of good health than
any other articles Of diet.
The acids and pectones in fruits assist
in digesting the fats of meats. That is
why people naturally take to eating ap-
pie sauce with roast pig. Girls with
miserable, pallid compilations ought to
eat quart CT Strawberries or several
bananas every day, says DR.. Benjafeld.
Bananas contain much iron. Then there
is the lemon juice euro for govt and
rheumatism. Grapes and other fruits
eaten plentifully are also effective for
the cure Of govt and rheumatism. In
the matter of canned fruits the doctor
thinks that they should be sealed up
only in glass bottles, as the fruit acids
are apt to eat into the tinwaro and be-
come poisonous. He is further Of opin-
ion that millions Ct dollars now spent
on medicines for torpid digestive organs
could be saved if people ate fruit habit

The Most Fertile Counties.

Some statistics lately published in re-
gard to the leading agricultural counties
Of this Union will be a surprise to those
who talk Of the wornout farms of the
east. In the scale of money yielding fer
Utility the wheat and corn growing re-
gions Of the west are far down when
shown up against five counties in three of
the original 10 colonies of America.
The comparison is made by the
amount Of money realized in the coun-
ties for agricultural productions last
year: The banner county is Lancaster,
Pa, which yielded in round numbers
$4,000, 900 worth Of agricultural prod
ncts- The second richest county is St.
Lawrence, N. Y, with 100000,
though St. Lawrence county is three
times as large as Lanca 5ter The third
richest county is Chester, Pa, while
the fourth most productive is found no.
where else than in Massachusetts. 1t is
Worcester. Pennsylvania again steps
up with the fifth county, Bucks. The
most productive county in the whole
western, middle and southern portions
Of the Union is Colusa, CAL. whose az.
ricultural yield last year amounted to
$5,300,O00.
The most significant fact in conneo-
tion with the figures is that counties
which raise diversified crops and live
stock are richer than those combining
themselves to single crops

1t gives ones faith in common honesty
rude shock to find rich manufacturer
Or pork packer resorting to the petty
theft of stealing city water by means
OF "blind pipes" We would not expect
such thing somehow If, now, it had
been poor foreign cobbler who had
tried to cheat the city out Of his petty
water tax, nobody would have been sur
prised. But rich pork and beef packers,
like those in Chicago, who could have
believed it?
