A merchant at Ionia, Mich, paid q
debt due a Detroit merchant with o
check on the First National bank Of To-
MIA. The Detroit merchant deposited the
check in his Detroit bank, which hap
pened to have no Ionia correspondent.
The Detroit bank sent it to its Chicago
correspondent. Why? Probably because
their Chicago balance was low and they
would collect it at par. The Chicago
bank sent it to a Muskegon bank, its
nearest correspondent to Ionia. The
Muskegon bank sent it to its Grand
Rapids correspondent. The Grand Rap
ids bank had no Ionia correspondent, but
saw that its Detroit correspondent was
tho correspondent of the First National
bank Of Ionia, ON which the check was
drawn, so it sent it again to Detroit
The Detroit bank then forwarded it to
Ionia, its destination for payment. l
find this check passed through six banks,
being in transit / days and travelled
1856 miles. Taking into consideration
the postage paid IL times by the differ
ent banks, the stationery used and the
time occupied by clerks in doing the
business, it would seem that if short
cut for the collection of checks can be
devised it would pay to adopt it.-Chi-

Various designers have different spe

architects have devoted many Of their

A complete design consists of three

The general width of patterns Of the
side wall and ceiling, as used in the

Of the repeat in the pattern is either

Within a recent period cocaine has
come into use on the race track as
stimulant. Horses that are worn and ex-

endurance, are given 10 to Is grains Of
cocaine by the needle under the skin at
the time Of starting, or few moments
before.
The effects are very prominent, and
veritable muscular delirium follows. in
which the horse displays unusual speed
and often unexpectedly wins the race.
This agitation continues, and the driver
has difficulty in "slowing down" the
