We want 1t set down to our credit
with our readers, that we have avoided
the subject of individual communion
cups We have no interest in their man
ufacture or in their use. We have no
objection to their use any more than
we have to the use Of individual waters
or crumb of bread in the same ser
vice. The use of Individual cups Is one
of the things to which st. Paul's state,
ment applies. Neither If we eat not
are we the worse. nor if we eat are we
the better" The English farmer who
walked up to the bull in the pasture
that had threatened a visitor and struck
him with a stick over the nose saying:
They make to much of bulls in these
days" may teach a lesson to those who
make too much OF bacilli. Tire individ-
ual cup does not vitiate the communion,
but we do not want any fussiness about
the service. Yet the individual COM
munion cup is no new thing, # we may
judge from Leonardo da Vinci's famous
picture OF the institution Of the Lord
supper; and we doubt not its use was
general in the Apostolic church as the
believers sat at meat.

There Was Little Trregularity in the FRS
Hour of Business.

| Iner6 WIS n llLtle III Ine FITS
Hour of Business.
New York, March 21-The stocI
market during the first hour of business
showed a little irregularity, the result
of realizations and efforts on the part OF
the chronic bears to check the rising
tendency of prices. London sold small
amounts OF st, Paul and Louisville
and Nashville, and an attempt was
made to use this against the market
The stock offered was quickly alb
| sorbed, however, and when the selling
abated the market improved rapidly
| The rise, which set in during the last
hour, was led by the industrials. Dis
tilling and Cattle Feeding was the spec
tal card. selling up to 1888 for the stock
and 15B for the Manhattan Trust COM
pany receipts. The rise was accompa-
MED by rIlmors that the shorts will lead
a lively dance before the expiration Of
the time for depositing the stock under
the reorganization plan. Over $4,000
shares of the stock changed hands. Cen
eral Electric was second in point of ac-
tivity, the transactions amounting to
44,400 shares. The price advanced to
351s one operator alone buying 1000
shares. The basis of the rise is found in
the reiterated statements that the an
nual report will be more favorable than
expected. Sugar was stronger than for
some days past and touched 99A. The
Improvement was due 10 covering Of
short contracts. The grangers were
stronger, st. Paul selling up to- 575s,
Rock Island ITO GAY, Burlington and
Quincy to 1874 and Northwest to 92.
The anthracite coalers were irregular,
operators not being so, confident as to
the outcome of the presidents meeting.
New Jersey Central first rose to 92A to
9411a, receded to 92A and closed at 93%.
Reading sold up to 109s,and declined to
9A. Lackawanna sold at 16015@161A,
and Delaware and Hudson at 128@128s4.
Bituminous coal stocks continue i'm re-
quest, and a number of them touched
the highest yet reached.
In the inactive stocks Bay State Gas
dropped to 10 and then rose to 49, To-
bacco preferred jumped az to- 1O91s,
Evansville and Terra Haute 8 to 30,
and Toledo and Ohio Central preferred
6 to 81.
The market closed strong, and from
u to 2A per cent. higher on the day.
Railway and miscellaneous bonds
were higher and in good demand. Sales
were so, 042, 900.

The Dickens Wind-Up.

Tt is curious what a. penchant Dick
ems had for certain melodramatic stu
ations, which seemed to his fancy SC
telling that he repeated and reproduced
them many times over. He had a live.
ly dramatic turn, and always thought
would have had extraordinary success
as dramatist. / once asked him why
he had not taken up this Zine" serious
ly, and / think he made the excuse-it
was long ago, many years before his
death-that he had not time, taste or
patience. The real reason. no doubt
was that he could not work without ex-
banding, and could not "carve heads
upon a cherry-stone.
A literary friend, who has his "Boz''
at his fingers ends has with great
acuteness pointed out to me that Mich
olas Nickleby was a genuine "Adelphi
walking gentleman" his manner, hero
ic bursts, protection of his sister, beard

the vast list of adaptations, Each sto-
ry has been adapted again and again,
and will bear the process admirably.
One method for winding up his plot
to which he was excessively partial
was the unmasking of the villain owing
to the betrayal of some confederate.
The parties are generally brought to-
gether in a room by. the more virtuous
members; the confederate then energies
from his concealment and tells a long
story of villainy. We have this de-
movement first in "Oiver Twist" where
Monks makes his revelations. In
"Nickleby" Ralph is confronted with
the man "Snawley" and Squeers. In
the "Old Curiosity Shop Quilp is SINH
larly exposed In ''Barnaby Ridge"
Haredal forces his hereditary enemy to
make revelations. In Chuzzlewit'' Jo-
mas is confronted with another betray-
er. In "Copperfield" Uriah Heap is de-
and exposed by Mr.. Micawber.

HIND AND SEAL.
A Feature of Legal Documents and Its Orig

Feature of Legal DOcum ents and Its Orig
in.
from the st. Louis Globe-Democratl
Every one who at any time has had
occasion to sign a legal document is
aware Of the Importance that is at
tached to the 'hand and seal" There
Is no reason why a simple signature
should not answer the purpose, as 1t
does in banking business, where the
convenience and time Of those transact
ing IT is Of such Importance that the
hand and seal part OF the performance
has long been abolished. But the law,
that is. a law made hundreds of years
ago, when the majority of men were
unable to write, requires the "hand and
seal' to be kept up, and SO it is, 1t does
not particularly inconvenience anybody,
for most persons do not have many
legal documents to sign and, indeed,
the majority ofthese are now. prepared
in such way that the seal is printed
ito fulfil the legal requirements of the
case, The provision, now useless and
absurd, is, however, a. relic of a former
age, when the seal was O. more impor-
tant part of the document than the sig
nature. Three or four hundreds years
ago a most important portion of every
business mans outfit was the seal.
Every merchant, every clerk, every
nobleman, every royal or dignified per-
sonage had his seal, locking 1t up, when
not In use. as q special precaution
against it's being employed without his
knowledge or consent. Very often the
seal was a stone, properly engraved
and set in a ring, which the proprietor
wore on his finger, and which
he entrusted only to those who were
his confidential personal representa-
tlves. When an Oriental potentate sent
gave him the ring gHhteining the seal,
Just as commission is now made for
a special officer, and the ring was his
commission. The seal was affixed to
public and private documents in attes-
tation OF their authenticity, and it was
the only valid EVIDENCE.
The theory was That the signature
could be counterfeitedby anybody who
chose to take the rlskSbut obtaining the
seal was no easy faHtter, and when 1t
was affixed no doubt remained The
hand" Is a relic of even earlier days
than the seal. There are in the British
Museum deeds and grants that have
no signature but the impress of the |
hand OF him who made the deed. The
palm and fingers were dipped in ink and |
fiat on the sheet, the name
being written above and sometimes also |
below. In later days the thumb was |
leemed sufficient, and when people OBJ
ected to dipping their hands or thumbs |
n ink the word "hand" came into use |
n connection with the seal.

As a Free-Trader Sees 1t.

The United States Treasury has during this
fiscal year paid out S50,O0O,000 more than its
income but has increased its cash assets by
borrowing to the amount of, say, 1925, 000, 0O0
New York Evening Post, June "a. 1895.
This is the opinion of Free-Trade edi-
tor Godkin. His administration,
headed by his Mr.. Cleveland, has in
creased the debt of the country by $780,
600, 900 during fiscal year which in
cludes the operations of his Free-Tra6e
Tariff for ten months. His treasury
has "paid out $50, 600, 900 more than its
income.n 1t has also borrowed "to the
amount of, say, S125, 900, 0O0." This is
a fair beginning for Editor Godkin, his
president, his free-trade bill and his
treasury, but isn't it rather steep bill
for the people to pay for experimenting
with GOdkin's theories? If he could
have had his way, the bill which the
people must pay would have been $751;
49,. 1886 larger through the loss of rev.
enue that would have been incurred by
giving us free coal, free iron ore and
free sugar. Down with such a hum
bug. Out with such fraud.-Ameri-
can Economist.
