Eckles as a Financier.

One day Comptroller Eckles Wis
tied Elkton; this was some time
after he had become a national
figure by being connected with the
United States Treasury. The
Comptroller visited the national
banks in that town, and in the
course of conversation said that
when he blossomed as a full blown
rose in Mr.. Cleveland's financial
garden, all he knew about finance
he had pass book in which he
kept note Of his checks on one page
and the cashier noted his deposits
on the opposite page !

The Banker.

A banker should be the last man
in the world to consult in relation
to this Nations financial manage
menu.
Common sense requires that
bankers should never be allowed to
enter the Governments business.
That they are allowed to enter, is
just what is the matter with the
business situation, just what has
caused these hard times, just what
causes panics and the financial evils
this country has been laboring
under ever since it came into ex-
stence.-Phila. Item.

What Our Factories Sell England.

What Our Factories Sell England.
NeW York Sun.
The United Kingdom takes more Of
our total exports than we sell to all
other countries combined 1t has been
much discussed, but as our exports are
so largely agricultural and mineral, an
inportant fact has been lost sight OF.
1t is generally supposed that while
England buys freely our breadstuffs
and provisions it buys only inconslder-
able quantities of our manufactured
goods.
The Treasury reports show the con-
trarv. During the nine months ending
Aprll |. the United Kingdom was our
largest customer in several of the most
important lines Of manufactures, and
one of the largest IN all. Out OF
total of ST .9S9 900 Of exported Amerl-
can cotton England took S47S,OOO, or
more than all the rest of Europe and
twice as much as Mexico. Out OF
total of S3,262 900 exported manufac-
tures Of iron and steel England took
$3.50 OOO-twlce as much as Mexico,
the Argentine Republic or Brazll
which have been supposedly our best
customers for such goods.
In machinery such as locomotives
and stationary engines England ranks
only second to Brazil among our Gus
toners. In passenger cars England
took more than Brazil and more than
twice as much as all continental Eu-
rope. OF our exports Of leather 70 per
cent. went to England, of sewing-ma-
chimes % per cent, Of naval stores over
33 per cent, Of mineral oils over 80 pei

THE CHILD'S PRAYER.

| Into her chamber went
A little girl one day,
| And by her chair she knelt
And thus began to pray
Jesus, my eyes ! close
| Thy form | cannot see
If Thou art near me, Lord,
| pray Thee speak to me"
A still, small voice she heard within
her soul,
What Is it, child? I hear thee-tell
Me ALL"
II pray Thee, Lord" she said,
"That Thou wilt conde.cend
To tarry in my heart
And ever be my friend.
The path of life is dark
would not 90 astray
Oh, let me have Thy hand
To lead me in the way"
Fear not-I will not leave thee, child,
alone"
She thought she felt soft hand press
her own.
"They tell me, Lord, that all
The living pass away
The aged soon must die,
And even children may
Oh, let my parents live
Till ! q woman grow:
For if they die, what can
A little Orphan do?"
Fear not, my child-whateve ills
may come,
III not forSake thee till | bring thee
home"
Her little prayer was said,
And from her chamber now,
She passed forth, with the light
Of heaven upon her brow
Mother, I've seen the Lord
His hand in mine | felt,
And oh, | heard him say,
AS by my chair | knelt,
