fhe subject of renewing the priv
ieges Of the Bank of France will short
ly come up for discussion in the cham
Der, after having been In allegiance
since 1892, when the senate approved
q bill for the purpose.
The bill has not since been modified
and the provisions included In 1t will,
1t Is thought. be adopted without ma
teriai alteration. One Of them, which
was to empower the bank to Increase
It's note issue from 10000 900 francs
to 1000 00. 600. was passed as far back
as 1893. The charter expires on Dec.
81, 1897, and the proposal 10 to extend
1t for a period Of twenty years from
that date, in consideration of the bank
making certain concessions to the
state.
Among these concessions is one by
which the bank Is to forego all future
interest on the government debt. 140,-
900, 600 francs. and not to demand re-
payment of the capital SO long US the
charter is In force. The bank Is to
undertake the service Of the national
debt and transact other business for
the treasury, both at the head office and
branches, free Of charge, and make an
annual payment to the latter for 2,000,-
900 francs during the first year Of the
currency Of the new charter and 2,50O,-
900 francs per annum subsequently.
1t Is to open several new branches
and make advances to agricultural CO.
operative societies.
1t is not improbable that an effort
will be made to convert the bank into
n state Institution. but such a project
jloes not command support either in
financial or ministerial circles, and is
not In the least degree likely to meet
with success.-Edinburgh Scotsman.
The Penn's Grove record., 1896-07-24

In discussing the art OF conversation
neary all the attention is given to what
Is said. The matter and the manner of
our words, the motives which prompt
them, the wisdom which chooses them,
their probable effects for good or for
evil, receive and deserve much scrutiny.
Comparatively little notice Is taken Of
tho other half of conversation, which
consists in listening.
1t Is usually regarded as a simple pas
sive condition, needing no particular
effort, and, therefore, no special consid-
Grafton. Like a vessel which merely
holds the liquid poured into 1t, the lis
tener is supposed for the time to be
only receptive, all his active faculties
being reserved for the time when he
comes to reply.
The common phrase, having nothing
to do but listen," betrays the small re-
spect paid to the act, and the slight eff.
fort 1t Is thought possible to put into 1t.
Thus 1t happens that, as no one Is
systematically taught and trained tc
listen, we have few really good listen
ers among us, and, for want of them
much good speaking Is absolutely vast
ed.
For listening Is an art, having MS
many grades and qualities as any other
and, until this is recognized, the value
Of conversation must be sadly limited

Grave In Presence of Danger but
Careful of Human Life.
Mr.. Archibald Forbes, in his biogra-
oily of Lord Clyde, better known as
Sir Colin Campbell, the hero Of the
Sikh wars, draws unconsciously a
sharp contrast between physical and
moral courage. Sir Colin was the son
Of a carpenter in Glasgow named Mac
liver. His mothers brother, Colonel
Campbell, took the hoy at fifteen to the
Duke of York, and asked for a COM
mission for him. The duke assented,
and remarking, Another of the clan,
I suppose2" wrote his name down as
Colin Campbell.
When they were in the street again,
Colin anxiously said, HE did not get
nv name-Macliver."
"Bide a Campbell" said his uncle,
gruffiy. "It'll pay better among fight
ing men"
And Colin Campbell he remained
while he lived.
The lads strongest wish was to prove
chat he had courage enough to do honor
to his Campbell blood and adopted
