intimation that detective work is full of
red fire and melodrama.

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.
Don't test the courage and generosity of
your bank by presenting or allowing to be
presented your check for a larger sum
thar your balance.
Don't draw a check and send 1T 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 anybody.
This Is called exiting" 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-
elre II 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 car behave badly in
one bank and stand well with the Others
Remember there is a clearing house.
Don't think 1t is unreasonable If you,
bank declines to discount an accommoda.
ton note. If you want an accommoda
ton note discounted, tell your bank frank
ly that it is not in their definition a bust

Wesley and Methody.

Louis XIV's famous saying, 81 am
the state" is not far from being appli-
cable to Wesley, however he would
have revolted from saying, 81 am the
church" But unquestionably the pro-
longation of his life as both the apostle
and lawgiver of his church throughout
the whole of its adolescent and forma-
tive period, during which it was plastic
to his organizing and guiding hand, Sc
cured to it both it's stable basis and its
symmetrical development. AS a preach
er second only to that incompatible
Whitefield whom a skeptic like Hume
said he would go 20 miles to hear; as a
hymnist second only to his peerless
brother Charles, who has given 627
hymns to the Methodist hymn book, he
was pre-eminent in fitness for patri-
archal administration and government.
No man has come so near the position
of a Protestant pope. In Great Britain
his sole judgment sufficed to exclude
any member or minister deemed I'M
worthy.
In America, in ITO, the deed of the
old John Street church, the first Meth
odist church in America, restricted its
use to such persons as Wesley should
appoint. This autocratic constitution
was but a natural incident of the period
of tutelage through which scattered So
c%ieties, mainly composed Of the humber
sort of people, with their visible bond
chiefly in the person of their beloved
founder and father, grew at length into
a fully organized church in the form OF
a Presbyterian episcopacy.-Outlook.

The Boston Herald notes the
great yield of gold in Colorado this
year, ana thinks a little more of that
will 'cure the silver heresy" of the
men of the Centennial state. Does
IA great run of mackerel off the coast
of Massachusetts do away with the
principle of brown bread and baked
beans in Boston? The trouble with
the Herald seems to be that it can
imagine nothing in the demand of
Western men for silver restoration
except to supply a better market for
silver. Not one man in a hundred
in the silver states has the slightest
direct interest in any silver mine in
the world. 1t is a pity that the
Eastern press canuot give the West
fair credit for honesty, and study the
silver question as one which is of di-
rect Government to all the poor and
all the producers of the world.-Sal'

Politics in Greater New York
have taken a strange turn, by which
Tammany cuts loose from the Chica-
go platform and ignores silver coin
age. 1t will be remembered that
one year ago this body out of policy
supported the Chicago platform.
BY the act of throwing overheard
the Chicago platform she shows her
true tiger-like disposition. 1t is one
blot on the party supporting silver
that it was backed by such a treach-
erous band one year ago. Such af-
fliation is bound to leave its scar
upon the political body; for if the
cause of bimetallism stands for any
thing it stands for humanity and
purity in politics. Would it not be
we'll in future to cut loose from this
political juggling-trust and press
the fight for silver without such en-
cumbrances? We are not in the
Greater New York squabble, but
Just the same we wish for Henry
George, silver candidate for mayor
goodluck and %godspeed.

He Would Not DEW IL.

A federal judge lately charged a Jury
in a liquor case as follows: "In later
years there seems to have been q dis
position to deny II ignore judicial
knowledge as to what constitutes in
toxicating liquors, and the courts have
manifested a desire to disavow any ju-
dicial knowledge on this subject. At
the same time some of the courts have
not hesitated to impute to juries an ex-
tensive knowledge and information in
this regard. This court, however, will
follow the precedent established by the
decision of Chancellor Walworth upon
this subject and will assume judicial
knowledge concerning Intoxicating
liquors. In a trial in the state of Wis
%consin, where this question arose in
1888, the trial Judge declared that a
man must be a driveling idiot who did
not know what beer was, and that it
was not necessary to prove it to be an
intoxicating liquor.
Later the supreme court of that
state, in passing ON the charge of the
trial Judge, declared that his rulings
in the case upon this question were not
only clearly correct, but if his peculiar
name gave them force and emphasis
it was not only proper, but commend
able. This court, therefore, will neither
stultify itself nor impeach its WI We.
racity by telling you that it has not ju.
dicial knowledge that the liquor com
monty known as whisky is an intoxi.

monty called a whisky cocktail is an
intoxicating drink. LEASE and Com.

ANIMAL ODDITIES.

The hagflsh, or myxine, has a custom of
getting inside the cod and similar fishes
and entirely consuming the interior, leav-
ing only the skin and the skeleton.
When bees swarm, queens, workers,
drones and all take wing, rise high In the
air, abandon home, kindred, everything
forever, and nothing can stop them.
Cats can smell during sleep. When a
piece of meat is placed Immediately in
front of a sleeping cats nose, the n~ostrils
begin to work as the scent is received, and
an instant later the cat will wake up.
The carp's teeth are set back on the
pharynx, SO that it may be literally said
to masticate its food in its throat. The
carp, too, is about the only eud chewing
fish, the c~oarsely swallowed food being
forced up to these throat teeth for com
plete mastication.

The city council is to be praised
for reviving ordinance No. ID, and
giving it the right of way before all
others. Old l3 has certainly been
much abused, and for the past year
the people have almost forgot that
there existed such a law. The little
IS monthly paid by the danes on
the row was actually looked upon as
a license--a license to do with i'm
punity what the state law says shall
not be done. The terms of No. ID
are hal no house of ill-fame shall
exist within the town limits, impos-
ing a fine of not less than $40 nor
more than 500 for each and every
offense. Instead of acknowledging
the supremacy of law, and the valid
ity of old Ii, the evil which it was
meant to check has grown and pros
pered, until the dens of iniquity
were practically running the town.
We commend the council upon its
stand for right.
