The Wages OF sin.

The suspension OF the National
Bank of Illinois has already been the
direct cause of two self-murders. Vice
President w. A. Hammond, the active
man in the institution, could not en-
dure the wel-merited criticisms of
his conduct and sought oblivion in
Lake Michigan. Otto WasmansdOrff,
a private banker, who was affected
by the failure, preceded Banker Ham
mond to the unknown bourne by Il
few days. IL will be impossible to
calculate the loss and suffering en-
tailed upon innocent victims by the
event.
The bitterness OF it all to the latter
and TO the families of the deceased is
that il need never have been if the
wise provisions of the national bank
ing law had been faithfully observed.
The position most hagrantly violated
in this instance was that which re-
stricts the loans to an individual to
10 per cent Of the paid-up capital of
a national bank. There is reason to
believe that not only the spirit but
the letter Of this section Of the law is
violated every day all over the coun-
try in the large cities. The conse-
quences of such violation may be es-
capped ninety and nine times, and the
responsible officers may congratulate
themselves that they are wiser than
the trainers of the law, but the fail

not quite understand this almost uni
versal eXultation. 1t is hardly be
cause of what we have done, for a
good many Of us have accomplished
nothing more remarkable than the
making of q journey of 2GG days nearer
TO the end. And then we howl with
Joy at the prospect Of 365 more to
be spent in an equally aimless fashion.
Perhaps it is the joy, exaggerated. of
the child who rubs off one pulling

There is for most Of us poor mortals
d large degree Of isolation in life. Our
inner experiences we cannot voice to
those around us; our battle with
wrong within or beyond human ken;
even outward sorrows call for scarcely
more than "A passing thought of sym
pathy on the part Of the great rush
ing world, whose time permits it to
enter into our feelings about as fully
as the scientist enters into the ankle
ties and fears of the insect that squirm
under his microscope. What fools
we mortals be, who add to our isola-
ton in the crowded ways of life by
sticking out the porcupine quilts of
repulsion. To have friends to do for
US, we must show Willingness to do
and suffer for them.

BY an absurd mistitness this season
has come to be regarded as the favor
able time for making resolutions-a
tendency that results, unfortunately,
in keeping the Recorder of Deeds
most busy writing down the failures
and mistakes. 70 lump all good in
tentions into one day of the year,
while our careleSsneSs of good during
all the other days has weakened our
/ moral fiber, is to invite failure, abSO-
| lutte and nauseating. The time for a
good resolution is the time that any
| particular temptation is strongest.
Then while right in the whirl Of the
! struggle against wrOng-dOing, sin
cere deep-felt determination is much
more likely to be effective than If we
reserve it for the clearing house day
of the year. For at this opening of
the wear, it is not at all unlikely that
many Of the temptations that have
assailed us most strenuOusly i'll the
wear gone by will be absent, and our
resolutions, therefore, will be worse
than useless because Of their lulling
influences upon our moral senses.
We are to fight hour by hour and day
by day, and not once a year. The
sailor cannot tempOri2e with Storm
and say: Rude Boreas, if you will
kindly come clustering here on the
LIST of January, | shall then be il
harbor with everything snug" No
the poor fellow must hustle up the
whistling shrouds, hang on by the
skin of his teeth while he clears away
the wreckage above, pail and haul
strain and struggle, till by supreme
effort he makes everything safe. Lear
from him.

FISH WITH WINGS.
These scaly FIiers Are Plentiful In Tropio
Deep Waters.

These Sealy FIiers Are Plentiful In TrOpio
Deep Waters.
The flying fish loves deep water and
is found throughout the length and
breadth of tropical seas. He is fond of
feeding near the gulf weed of the Sar-
gassO and deposits his stringy, glutinOus
spawn on its yellow branches. Vessels
bound from New York to the Caribbee
islands, upon reaching the "horse lati-
tudes, )" sometimes encounter vast guam
tites of drifting weed, strung out into
long ribbonlike patches about an eighth
of mile apart. Among the golden
weed, with its delicate leaves and glob-
ular seeds, exists a curious family of
cuttlefsh, crabs, mOlluslos and small
fishes. Upon these the flying fish preys,
and they in turn devour its spawn.
Every plunge Uf the steamer as she
plows through the blue tropical waters
frightens dozens of flying fish into the
air, where they scatter i'll all directions,
with the sunlight glistening Oh their
gauZy wings
Tho flying fish of the Atlantic attains
length of nearly one foot and breadth
! between wing tips of II inches. He
has a round, compact body, about about
one inch i'll diameter near the pectoral
fins or wings. There is also All auxil-
iary pair of ventral fins or wings, not
nearly so large as the pectoral pair.
The wings are formed by thin. trans
parent membrane stretched over deli
cate bony framework and are either,
black, white or mottled with both.
The upper half of the entire fish is d
metallic blue in color. while the lower
portion is a nacreOus white. Black,
prominent eyes; n small, prehensile
mouth; fOrked tail, dorsal and anal fins,
complete the picture of one of the most
interesting little fishes III all natures

In flight he darts from the water to 6
height of 20 feet and goes scuddine
away before the wind, beating the all
