Forefinger. There is no cure in the first finger. If ointment is to be rubbed on sore place, do not use the fore finger, but the second one, the first ffn- ger having been poisoned ever since Judas Iseariot betrayed our Lord by pointing Him out to the Jews with that finger.
 Toothache. An aching tooth is cured by placing a frogs head on the tooth, and while pressing it saying in low tone, II cure this pain in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Ghost.
 Warts Rub warts with piece of pork, after which bury the pork. As the pork decays, the warts will disap- pear.
 Water taken from a gravestone and rubbed on warts will cure them. I once cured a great number of them on my wrist ill this way. Or a snail rubbed on the warts and then hung on black thorn bush, by piercing the body of the snail with one of the thorns, will cure them.

The old keeper of the morgue in this city, who has seen hundreds of un- known bodies exhibited for identifca- tion, has arrived at some interesting conclusions, says the Philadelphia Rec ord. If the face of the dead person is perfectly composed and natural, of course, intimate friends or relatives recognize them immediately. But, he says, if the face is distorted through pain or disagured by injuries, a casual acquaintance can identify the body much easier than the closest relation. He explains this by saying that people who have known a person well for a long time lose sight of the features and see rather the personality reflected in the lines of the face. A casual ac- quaintanee notes the features, and can recognize them when seen again, even if eonsideabfy distorted.

Celery dishes are low and flat and of cut glass.
 English crop dishes are round in- stead of the usual oval shape.
 Bouillon cups of crystal or porcelain are low and fiat, with futed covers.
 Low shapes prevail in fruit dishes. They are of fligree silver or painted porcelain.
 Salad bowls either match the service or are of cut or silver-trimmed Bohe- milan glass.
 Coffee cups are of the low English pattern, or high and slender and set upon gilded or filigree base.
 The roeoco porcelain, with it's excess i've decoration, is relegated to occasions of great elegance, as it is very expen- sive.
 Among pretty odds and ends are lit- tie plates for bread and butter, bone dishes in half-moon shapes, asparagus plates, etc.
 Both goblets and tumblers are used; cut and engraved glass and the gilded French baeearat are all in vogue; wine glasses match in style.-Ghjcago Post.

Of bonds now outstanding, and the
 further fact that many of them are
 held in trust capacities in this eoun- l try, and as permanent investments
 by persons residing abroad, have rendered the kind of security now required impraetieable The Carlisle bill proposes for security of the cir enlating notes Of the national banks, instead of United States bonds, q guarantee fund consisting of legal tender notes or currency certificates to the amount of 30 per cent. Of the circulation applied for also q safety fund to be raised by tax of one half of 1 per cent. per annum upon the circulating notes until fl reaches } per cent. of the whole cir eulation, and as q further security d first lien upon all the assets of the bank, and upon the amount which may De realized by the double liability feature of the national banking law
 ssThe guarantee fund of 30 percent, the assets of the bank and the per sonal liability of the stockholders can only go 10 the payment of the circulating notes of the bank which  issues them, but the , per cent. guar antee fund raised by tax upon all the circulation of the country is common fund out of which the notes of any failed bank may be paid, if the guarantee fund, the assets and per sonal liabilities of the stock holders are not sufficient. Thus, on q cir culation of $2O0, GOO, 900, the present national bank circulation, the safety fund would amount to $l00,000, and this whole fund could be drawn upon to pay the notes of any bank that failed.
 'This security is considered ample by the safest fnaneiers aud bankers of the country.
 The currency bill, as amended, does not compel national banks to enter the new system. They may continue under the old law, but it is thought that the banking officials will soon see the advantage of the new plan and adopt 1t. <"
