BANK ADVICE.

In order that depositors may avoid max
ing errors, the Lincoln National bank Of
New York has published the following list
of "don'ts:"
Don't draw a check unless you have the
money in the bank or in your possession
to deposit.
Dom test the courage n generosity of
your bank by presenting or allowing to be
presented YOU check for a larger sum
than your balance.
Don't draw a check and send it to a
person out Of the city, expecting to make
1t good before it can possibly get back.
Sometimes Geographic advice is asked
about such checks.
Don't exchange checks with body.
This Is called Citing and Is soon dis
covered by your bank. 1t does your friend
no good and discredits you.
Don't quarrel with the teller because he
does not pay you in money exactly as you
wish. As a rule, he does the best he can.
In all your intercourse with the bank Off
GERS treat them with the same courtesy
and candor that you would expect and de.
sire If the situations were reversed.
Don't give your check to a stranger.
This is an open door to fraud, and If the
bank loses through you 1t will not feel
kindly toward you. When you send your
checks out of the city to pay bills, write
the name and residence of your payee
thus: "Pay to John Jones & Co. Of Bos-
ton" This will put your bank on guard
if presented at the counter.
Don't commit the folly of supposing
that because you trust the bank with
money the bank ought to trust you by
paying your overdrafts.
Don't suppose you can behave badly in
one bank and stand well with the others.
Remember there is n clearing house.
Don't think it Is unreasonable If your
bank declines to discount all accommoda-
tion note. If you wan an accommoda.
ton note discounted, tell sour BAN frank
ly that it is not in their definition a bust
ness note.

Spiders as Weather Prophets.

One of the best of weather prophets
is the spider. If there happens to be a
web in the secluded corner of the porch.
watch it carefully for a few days OF
weeks, and the spider will unfailingly
predict the coming of storms.
When a high wind or a heavy rain
threatens, the spider may be seen tax.
ing in sail with great energy-that is,
shortening the rope filaments that sus-
tain the web structure. If the torn is
to be unusually severe or of long dura-
ton, the ropes are strengthened as well
as shortened, the better to resist the on
set of the elements. Not until pleasant
weather is again close at hand will the
ropes be heightened as before. On the
contrary, when you see the spider run
ming out the slender filaments it is GER
tain that calm, fine weather has set in,
whose duration may be measured by
their elongation.
Every "a hours the spider makes some
alteration in its web to suit the weather.
If these changes are made toward even
ing, just before sunset, a fine, clear
night may be safely counted upon.
When the spider sits quiet and dull in
the middle of its web, rain is not far
off. If it be active, however, and o n
tinues so during a shower, then it will
be of brief duration, and sunshine will
ollow.-Chicago Record

Men With Mem cries.

The advantages of good memory to
the historian are obvious, and we find
it said of Gihbon that when he had once
read u book it was of no further use to
him; it was as a sucked orange and
could be thrown away. Carlyle like
wise had a prodigiously retentive mind,
while of Macaulay's proves in this
line there are many stories told. He
could read a book in the time it would
take another man to cut the leaves,
and, Notwithstanding this lightning
rapidity, he knew it all perfectly. Once,
when crossing the Irish channel, he re-
peated to himself the whole of 'Para-
disc Lost" and it was said that if. all
Millions works were lost Macaulay
could have restored them from memory.
While waiting in a Cambridge coffee
house for a post chaise he picked up q
country newspaper containing two po'
litical pieces, which he read once
through and never thought of again fol
10 years, when he was able to repeat
them without the change of a single
word. -Household Words.

The Future If the Red Man.

Having briefly reviewed some of our
psst history, the fact must he admitted
that when the white men first visited
our shores we were kind and cOnfidlng,
standing before them like a block of
marble before the sculptor, ready to be
shaped into noble manhood. Instead Of
this, we were oftener hacked to pieces
and destroyed.
1t is useless to deny the charge that
at times we have been goaded to vim
diCtive and cruel acts. Some of my own
tribe, however, were soldiers in the
northern army during the civil war.
Some of them were taken and held pris-
oners in the rebel prisons, and the
cruelty which, according to the tales
they tell, was witnessed there was never
outdone in border warfare with the
scalping knife and tomahawk, and yet
l believe that had the northern people
been placed in the south under like cir
cumstances their prisoners of war
would have been treated with similar
cruelty. 1t was the result Of a desperate
effort to save an expiring cause. l be-
lieve there is NO reasonable person, we'll
grounded in United States history, who
will not admit that there were ten
times as many who persisted miserably
in southern prisons as have been killed
by our people since the discovery Of
America. l recall these facts not to
censure, but to show that cruelty and
revenge are the offspring of war, not Of
race, and that natur has placed no i'm.
passable gulf between us and civiliza.

ly in requisition for embalming.
Herodotus gives a detailed account of
the ancient mode of embalming, which
is perhaps more instructive than pleas
ing. After the body had undergone
much preparation, which, to spare your
feelings, l will not describe, it was filled
with powdered myrrh, cassia and other
perfumes. 1t was then stepped in ma
iron, a strong solution of soda, for 70
days. After this it was wrapped in
bands of fine perfumed linen, smeared
with aromatic gums.
Not only people were thus embalmed,
but the crocodiles of Lake Moeris,
which, after their mummification, were
decorated with ornaments and jewels
and laid in one of the subterranean
passages of the great labyrinth with
much pomp and display. The sacred

A Slender Thread of Mercury.

While almost any one knows about
the principles on which an ordinary
thermometer operates, there are a num-
Der of things about this apparently sim
pie little instrument which are not gen.
orally known, and which are of a good
deal of interest. One of the most pecul-
lar Of these is the question Of the
length of tube which the mercury in the
bulb of an ordinary thermometer would
fill if it were all stretched out in a sin
gle column the size of that in the tube.
Most people, when asked how long
this would be, would probably say from
8 to 10 feet, while as a matter of fact
this column of mercury would in an ex-
tremely delicate instrument be miles i'll
height. The reason of this is that the
column of mercury, while it appears
quite large, is really of almost infin-
itesimal size. If the tube of a Their
mometer is broken one is at first at a
loss to see where the mercury goes in,
but q close examination will disclose a
fine line, much thinner than a hair,
running across the end Of the tube, and
this is one end of a little slit in which
the mercury rises. AS it has its fiat side
toward the eye it appears to be quite
large, and the convexity Of the outside
of the tube, through which it is seen,
magnifes it and gives it that rounded
appearance which is so deceptive. The
reason why the slit is made so small is
to give the greatest ratio of result fol
the expansion of the mercury in the

A View of the Sultan.

Here is a first view of the sultan as
Mrs. Max Muller sees him. She de-
scribes it in her Letters From Constan-
tinople:"
1.-The green enameled and richly
gilded barouche comes in sight, drawn
by two glorious black horses covered
with golden harness, driven by a man
in bright blue and gold livery, and on
each side the grooms in blue and gold
and every man in sight, naval, mill
tary, civil, master or servant, in the
all pervading but all becoming fez.
I'm the carriage sits a small yet
stately man, in a simple cloth military
overcoat, with no order or decoration of
any sort, only his curved sword and a
fez like the rest. His large hooked nose
proclaims his Armenian mother. His
piercing eyes are raised to our window
as he passes, but his face is still and
immovable, and he salutes no one,
though his whole person has a swaying
motion, so faint that it may only be
caused by the swaying movement of the
carriage. Opposite his imperial majesty
sits Osman Ghazi, the hero of Plevna,
almost his only intimate friend, whom
he trusts implicitly"

Mother Goose.

The most popular children's book
ever written was Mother Goose's
Melodies" Mrs. Goose, or Mother
Goose" as she was Familiarity called,
was the mother-in-law of Thomas Fleet,
a Boston printer, early in the last CEN
fury. When his first child was born,
his mother. in-law devoted all her at
tention to the baby, and, it is said,
greatly annoyed Fleet by her persistent
and not particularly musical chanting
of the old English ditties she had heard
in her childhood. The idea occurred to
Fleet of writing down these songs and
publishing them in book form. The
oldest extant copy bears the date of
1919. The price marked on the title
page was 1.-TWO coppers." This account
of the origin of "Mother Goose" is dis
credited by some critics, who declare
that in 1897 Perrault published "Contes
de ma Mere l'Oye," or "Stories OF
Mother Goose" The name Mother
Goose" was familiar in French folk
lore, being used by writers Of this lit.
