dsnsod but exhaustive review OF the e. xperience
OF the New England Colonies and States In
bank-note currency, from the earliest times
until the establishment Of the National Bank
system.
This summary Is not merely valuable from
the great variety and wide range OF expert
shoe covered; out specially so for Its full ac-
count of the natural development under bust
ness exiEencies Of the volunteer system OF
bank-note redemption, which not merely
made New England pre-eminent, but gave
her bankers an advantage over those Of the
rest OF the states.
Not merely Is the Suffolk Bank system
fully treated. but there are also noted the cir
cumstances which led to It's adoption, and the
rival plan. copying it's methods. which was
put into operation just before the war.
In sense tho pamphlet may be said 70 be |
history Of bank-note development. After all |
allowance is made, the showing Is a most |
creditable one for the New England States,
and especially for the banks OF Boston, TO |
whose enterprise and tact the Suffolk Bank
system owed Its origin.

READING THE DECLARATION.
Changes In the Manner of Observing the
National birthday.

With tho late civil war began a new
era in our national life The preserva-
tion OF the Union became the absorbing
topic OF thought among the loyal people
OF our land. The great national anniver-
sary continued TO be celebrated, but in a
modified dogree. Instead of ovations
largely devoted TO the apotheosis of the
American eagle as the hope of the world,
there were thoughtful discourses con-
corning the duty Of every American citi-
zen at that momentous period. The pu-
tative crimes Of old King George were
almost forgotten, and in many places
the farewell address of Washington, the
peerless plea for national union and pub
lie virtue, was read instead Of the Decla-
ration OF independence. Ever since that
war the public reading of that Declara-
tion has been less and less observed. Il
is we'll to
Let the dead past bury its dead
and to direct our energies to the strength
ening OF our national life. Let our boys
and girls have all the innocent fun and
healthful amusement on the Fourth of
July and express their JOY as loudly as
they please. Would il not be well for
their seniors to follow the example of
ancient Hebrew fathers, who required
their sons TO come at the time of the cell

That well-advertlsed town meeting will be held this afternoon at o'clock at Banquet Hall. It will be an inter- esting and perhaps momentous affair. Every voter who can be there should be there and say his say by voice or vote, or both. Some say there is no public opinion about consolidation. Others say there is and that that opinion is all one way, with the ex- ception of a slight and explainable divergence in the board of selectmen If there is public opinion about the matter 1t will have fair chance to make itself known this afternoon. And if there isn't that fact can also be made known. The voters who have elected both the board of selectmen and the court of common council can this afternoon tell both those bodies what they want about consolidation. They should do 1t, for as matters stand there is an apparently irreconcilable misunderstanding. Go to the town meeting. It may be the last one.

Consumption has been very carefully studied in Philadelphia, and one of the results of this study is a bill which is now before the Pennsylvania legisla- ture. The bill provides that the gover- nor shall appoint five commissioners, without compensation, to select a site and build hospital for the reception and treatment of persons affected with tuberculosis who are residents of the State. The commissioners are to select, within four months of appointment, tract of land not less than two thou sand feet above the sea level, which shall be well adapted for successfully carrying out the climatic treatment of consumption, and shall be approved by the governor and board of public char ities. The cost of the site and build- ing shall not exceed $150,000, which is appropriated to the commissioners for this purpose. The building are to be completed within two years and half from the passage Of the act, when the commissioners shall surrender their trust to board of trustees to consist of nine members, who shall be ap- pointed by the governor with the ap. proval of the senate. They shall be. body corporate. entitled "The Pennsyl- vania sanitarium for the treatment of tuberculosis" No person shall be re- ceived or treated in the hospital except such indigent persons who shall be deemed likely to be improved by treat ment.
 The indications are that this bill will become law. Pennsylvania has many high places from which to choose a site for the hospital, and the working of the experiment will be watched with deep and general interest.

rhe BIggest MonolIth for saIe.
From the Chicago TrIbune.l


 Any one wanting a monolith, the big gest in the world, can get it of Freder- ick Prentiss, who is at the Grand Paci- fic. MT. Prentiss quarried this mono- lith for the Wisconsin Worlds Fair commissioners. It was to be put up at the Exposition. It cost MT. Prentiss sixteen thousand dollars to get it ready to be lifted from it's bed. It never saw the Worlds Fair, and MT. Prentiss new CT saw his money. The stone Is brown sandstone, and Is one hundred and fif- teen feet long, ten feet six inches at the base and four feet six inches at the top. When the Worlds Fair commits sioners found out they could not move the big stone they asked MT. Prentiss to give them four monoliths twenty-five feet high. This he did. They were brought to the fair and put up. They were not paid for MT. Prentiss says. He has, therefore, one huge monolith in his possession and a claim on four me- dium-sized moholiths.J John Wanamaker wrote Mir Prentiss not long ago and asked how much it would cost to move the stone to Philadelphia, where it was thought it would make fitting monu- ment to G. w. Childs. The cost of transportation was placed at one hum dred thousand dollars. The correspon- dence ceased. A Chicago man named Cleveland has been making inquiries about the stone and the cost of getting it to this city. He did not disclose what he wanted to do with the big thing.

ing revived under all sorts of alluring new names. Party gowns even are to partake of this simplicity as the warm CT weather comes, and gowns for the sweetest bellies are being designs in white book muslin with no trimming but rows of blue satin ribbon.
 Even spring costumes point the same way, an example being shown here with. It is made from admiral blue cloth trimmed with silk of the same shade. It's skirt is made entirely of cloth and has a flap on each side, fin- ished with bias fold near the edge. They narrow considerably toward the top, The waist has a round silk yoke and is garnished by several rows of narrow blue velvet ribbon. The volu- minous sleeves end in long cuffs fitted as far as the elbows.
 Among all the expensive and bewll- dering materials and the temptations they offer one to dress like frivolous doll baby, even for marketing and house cleaning days, there are a lot of solid color wool materials offered at low figures, which are to be made up with simplicity and quiet ef- feet. Street gowns according to the best models are very quiet, of mixed dark goods, often with a closely fitted bodice, buttoning under the arm and at the shoulder. The, sleeves are big and the skirt flares, but there is no or namentation,. no bright lining, nothing to disturb the harmony and good taste of the inexpensive attire which most women need more than selection of tea and party dresses. .FLORETTE.

The bill now before the Connecticut
 legislature providing for the supervision
 of building and loan associations is said
 to be heartily though quietly opposed
 by the representatives of foreign build ing and loan associations who want to
 do business in this State without un-
 comfortable restriction. This bill pro-
 vides that foreign associations shall be
 licensed by the bank commissioners to
 do business in Connecticut upon the
 payment of the cost of examination,
 which is to be, at least, annual, and
 upon the further payment of a tax of
 one-quarter of one per cent. upon the amount due residents of this State less
 the amount loaned upon real estate sit
 uated in this State,
 There doesn't appear to be anything unreasonable in the restrictions propos- ed. In other States foreign associations are treated much more strictly. The Hartford Post finds that Illinois, Indi- ana, Ohio and Wisconsin require that each foreign association deposit with some State official $1O0,OOO in cash or bonds as a guarantee for the fulfilIment of it's obligations to residents of the State; Indiana also imposing tax of three per cent. on the amount due State investors less the amount loaned to State residents and Ohio collecting li- cense fees of $50 for the first year of doing business. Minnesota is satisfied with evidence of deposit in the home State of $1Oo,00O but it's law contains clause imposing upon associations of other States doing business in Minneso- ta the same restrictions which those States impose upon Minnesota associa- tions. South Dakota, Washington and Georgia have like retaliatory legis1a- ing deposit with some recognized au- thority of 75 per cent. of the assets of the foreign association. California de- a deposit of $50 GOO, and New ter sey a deposit of $9O,0OO, each with some State official. Alabama imposes a year. ly license fee of $2OO, and requires de- posit, somewhere, of $5OO0O. Florida l wants $25,oOo security, and Tennessee not less than $25OOO nor more than $5O- 900. New York demands that ten per | cent. of the paid-up stock be deposited l in bonds. and limits the loaning of mon ey to real estate situated within a ra- dius of fifty miles of the principal office of the association. Massachusetts and Maine require a deposit of s25,0OO and thereafter an annual additional deposit off IS per cent. of the amount invested | by residents of the State.
 No honest association would suffer oo much from such a law as is proposed md the dishonest ones wouldn't suffer enough.

 Along many of the roads of Germany the tired wayfarer is not only sheltered from the sun by pleasant fruit trees along either side, but has the benefit of their fallen fruits in their season. Could our hedgerows not be utilized in this manner? Many a weary pedestri- an would welcome not only the kindly branches, but also the fallen apple. plum, mellow pear or Albert, Surely it would not take anything from the pro- duce of the fields along the sides of which they might grow, and if this method were adopted throughout the whole of England, not only would many a poor wanderer find refreshment, hat the harvest would furnish an apprecia- ble gain to the country.

There is in my town, says Chauncey H7. Black, of Pennsylvania, ia member of the legal profession of very diminu- tive size, who rejoices in the name of Chris Magee, though not of kin to the well known Republican politician of the same name. Some time ago Magee was elected to the bench, and one of the first cases before his honor was that of a brawny Irishman, whose colossal figure was in perfect antithesis to that of the little judge, The son of Erin had com 1nitted an assault and battery, and was told to stand up by the court. The de- fendant did so, and, though he was six feet six inches tall, he could barely see the top of the magistrates head appear ing behind the desk.
