LOST VALUABLE
LOT OF PEARLS.

Walter M Harris is out just $1,010 through the thievery of some rascal, who took advantage of chance to steal his purse, which contained two pearls, the purchase price of which was $95O and several other smaller pieces, which run the total loss up to the first mentioned figure of $1,O10.
 Early Monday morning, MT. Harris had reason to go to the safe in his grocery store and laying out upon his desk, a leather case in which he carried his pearls, he neglected to again return the same to the safe. When his mind was recalled to the oversight, the case was gone and as a number of people had been in the store, he had little evidence to work upon to discover the guilty party. It is heavy loss and we hope that by some chance, the owner may recover his rightful possessions.

marriageable girls of the different

endeavoring to arrange matrimonial al

manner which they would bring to

Spring Water For Picking.

The spring water OF the Yuchuan
hills on the west of Picking is noted
for its cIearness and purity. and all
the wealthy families in the capital
have for 4 long time longed to drink
it in vain. Recently, however, an en-
terprising foreigner has proposed to
form Il company to convey the water
to Picking by pipes to satisfy the de
sire of the well to do Inhabitants Of
the city. says the Shanghai Mercury.
If the proposal can be carried out,
there is little doubt that large profits
will accrue from the undertaking.

Birds Are Like Human Beings.

Canaries, like human beings, vary
very much in character, some cocks be
ing so Indifferent and idle that they
will let the hen do all the work of
building and rearing. while they them
selves sit and plume their feathers.
Others, again, are perfect gentlemen in
their manners, waiting on the hen with
a quiet courtesy and seeing that all she
requires is at once brought to her.
Again, the hens vary in disposition,
some hens behaving in a quiet. modest
way, attending to their young ones
with regularity, while others are in n
constant state of chatter with their
husbands, pecking and arguing with
them every time they go near. Thus
we see that these little birds have their
tiffs and domestic quarrels, not unlike

James Russell Lowell said, There's

| looking mule If the statement had
been, There's a good deal Of obstinacy
covered by apparent amiability," the re-
mark might have passed without a mo-
ment's notice, but attached to such a
figure as the poet used it will be diff
cult for the mind ever to get rid of it.
Mazzini says, Labor is the divine
law of our existence" This is little
more than commonplace, but when he
added, "Repose is desertiOn and sui
eide" the commonplace was transtig-
ured into memorable illustration
a French writer said, 1.-THE really ef
ficient Iaborer will be found not to
crowd his day with work" That seems
to be forgettable. When he adds, HE
will saunter to his task surrounded by
wide halo OF ease and leisure" the
halo serves the purpose Of an explana-
tory illustration.
President Garfield once said. 'Nine

The doctrine OF this sentence might

SOME METALS.

Iridium, worth more than $3.50 a
pound, is the hardest metal known and
is used to tip gold pens.
Lithium, worth more than LOO u
pound. is used only In medicine, its
salts being valuable in rheumatic af-
fections.
Tungsten, worth so cents pound, is
largely used in matallurgy and gives
to steel qualities similar TO those i'm
parted by molybdenum.
Molybdenum. worth S1.44 pound, is
used in metallurgy. AIolybdenum steel
possesses the rare quality of preserv-
ing its hardness even when heated to
redness.
Selenium. which has the curious prop
e=ty of losing its resistance to the cleo
trio current under the influence of
light, is used in the teleleetrOscOpe and
is worth $50 pound. -~-~-------
Uranium, worth $50 pound, is used
in the glass and porcelain industries.
1t has been found that uranium car
bide is superior to nickel or tungsten
in the manufacture of high grade steel.
Palladium, which has the smallest
coefflcient of dilatation, is used for tho
mounting of astronomical instruments.
The standard meter of France is made
of palladium. The pure metal costs
S4.S2 pound.
Vanadium oxidizes in air with great
difficulty, melts at 1000 degrees and
becomes redhot in hydrogen. Neither
hydrochloric acid nor nitric acid at
tacks IT. 1t costs 1892 n pound and is
used in coloring glass and in making
indelible inks.

FOREIGN BANK METHODS.
The UndeveIOped System In Use In
Continental Europe.

The IndeveiOped system In Use In
Continental Europe.
A bank check is looked upon with
suspicion in Italy. Practically no small
tradesman would take a check, and
none of them keeps a bank account. It
was still more surprising TO me to find
that such a statement would be almost
literally true of Paris itself. 1 was
studying the mechanism of the Bank
of France under the guidance of one
of the officers. We went into one great
room in the old building In which there
were 200 desks inclosed in wire cages,
all empty at the moment l asked what
these were for.
"These cages are for our city col
lectors," 1 was told. when a small
merchant borrows from the Bank OF
France, he does not, as with you in
America, borrow a bank credit and
have his loan merely added to his bal
ance on the books of the bank With
us the merchant when he makes a
loan, gets the actual money and takes
it away. He probably has no bank &C
count with us. He writes no checks.
When the loan is due, he does not, as
would be the case in your banks, come
in and pay his Indebtedness with a
check; instead of that we send a col
lector to him, and that collector is re-
paid the loan in actual currency. Two
hundred men start out from the Bank
of France every morning TO collect ma
tured loans. Several days each month
1t is necessary to send out 400 men,
and on the 1St and the 10Th of each
month GOO collectors 20 out"
These collectors were uniformed
men, carrying leather pouches, in
which they have the matured notes
and which are later filed with curren-
cy as the collections are made from the
banks borrowers.
L stood at the paying teller's desk as
l went farther along in my tour of the
Bank of France. AS l halted there the
man who happened to be ut the win
dow ut the moment presented Il check
for 10000 francs. The money was
counted out and handed over to him,
stored away in n big wallet, and he
passed on. 1 asked If it were not I'M
usual for man TO draw out so much
currency and was told that it was not.
1t was but another illustration of how
undeveloped is the banNinG system of
continental Europe in its uses by the
general Scribncr's Magazine.
