The Trouble a Dime Made.

Once in great while one of the
thirty odd banks clerks who are daily
delegated to render into the Providence
clearing house the accounts of their
respective banks, makes an error in
his "fggers." Usually the session is
over in twenty minutes, but Tuesday
it required an extra hour for the find
ing of q ten cent mistake, in 81, 152,-
100. AS there is money fine which
gathers double compound comminuted
interest, SO to speak, as the minutes
are piled up by the clock, each young
gentleman of the thirty odd is on pins
and needles until the fellow who is to
blame is discovered.
At noon the clearing house tele-
phone, which is that Of the Roger
Williams bank, began to ring, and
from that time until the session was
concluded, bank after bank called up
to know if the emissary had gone to
Canada and had left everything but a
balance against the bank. Officials
and clerks, who go to dinner in rota-
tion, stood with watches in hand and
saw their cars go by, and felt an in.
creasing and aching void at the ''belt. ;"
About IL. 45 o'clock the 81, 152, 100had
been squared up to cent, and the
ten cent fellow who had shaken the
banking community to the pit of its
stomach was laden with crop of fines
as thick as flies at the bung hole OF

Milk for Babes.

If care is taken in procuring pure
milk from healthy COW it will answer
every purpose--provided the milk is
kept clean and free from germs. Many
careful housekeepers cannot realize
how very great must be the care exer-
cised with milk. 1t should never be
allowed to stand uncovered, and should
never be used unboiled. DIR. A. Ja-
cobb, recognized authority, in a re-
cent article says, "after having been
boiled, the milk destined for the use
of baby during the day ought to be
kept in clean bottles, containing from
three to six ounces, up to the cork,
and the bottles turned upside down
and preserved in q cold place. Such a
bottle will keep longer than milk pre-
served in the usual way. Before being
used, it ought to be heated in water
bath. By repeating this heating of
the whole amount of the days milk
several times during the twenty-four
hours, fermentation will be retarded,
and digestibility improved" "-Wo-
mankind,
