SCHOOL SAVINGS BANKS.
Occupy an Important Place An the
Educational System of the
Country.

The school savings bank has grad
ually come to occupy an important
place in this eountry's educational
system. While it is nowhere obliga-
tory that teachers or school officers
shall assume these new responsible
ties, they in many cases have volun-
teered to adopt the plan when its
benefits have come to De understood.
In many parts of the United States,
and especially in the west, the recent
development of the school banks has
been rapid. California has estab-
lished the system in number of
towns and cities within a few
months, and there are indications
that the practical teaching of les
sons of thrift in the public schools
may soon become general, says the
Philadelphia Times.
1t is stated by the statistician of
this movement that there are now
1888 school banks in the United
States, which have 63,567 depositors.
The amount deposited in these
schools since the work was estab-
hshed is placed at $4,000 and the
amount remaining on deposit on jan
uary l last was $355,00o. 1t is doubt
full, however, if these figures are COM
plete. In Montgomery county, in this
state, where the work seems to have
advanced farther than in any other
section of the country, the scholars
have deposited in about ten years no
less than S175,ooo, and on January l
last 4,o09 depositors still had in bank
$40,61S. In Atlantic City the deposits
amounted to $6,376 during the last
school year.

Tuesday Night Storm.

About 2 a. m. Tuesday night
a severe wind, rain and hail
storm visited most parts of this
county, being the most severe on
the south side. In and about
Great Bend the damage by hail
to small vegetation was consids
cradle, and a few windows were
broken on the south side of build
ings.
A house on the McTaggart
farm, Z miles southeast, was
blown to the four winds. Prepar-
ations were made to move the
building-an L shaped home lax
"a and 12x12--and when the
went out Wednesday
morning they found only splin-
tiers.
At Fulton's, near by. the
kitchen part was torn away, and
at Fred Moore's and E. w. Chat
fees small buildings and trees
were destroyed, while wheat
stacks all over the south terri
tory were scattered.
Another heavy rain, accom-
panied by much wind and having
cyclonic tendencies, visited the
Wednesday afternoon
and evening. but we have heard
Of no damage from the latter
storms.

Factor in Success Said to Be Neg.
lected by Educators.

If good manners be, as few will de-
ny, so important for success in life,
how comes it that it is the one part
Of our education that is left to take
care Of itself? Games and books are
regarded as essential, and the progress
Of the child in one or the other, OF
both, according te the taste Of the
parent, Isl anxiously watched. But
most parents, says the Saturday Re
view, and all young persons would
receive with amused contempt OF
fierce resentment the idea that the
habit of being agreeable to others is
very useful, and can be taught. And
here is worth noticing the difference
between the English and French
view of good breeding. When an
Englishman uses the term "well-bred"
he refers to the persons pedigree.
'He was not bred in our kennel," said
whig peer with coarse contempt of
Mr.. Gladstone. But the equivalent
phrase in French, bien eleve, refers to
the persons upbringing or educa-
ton. The majority of Englishmen
and women regard good breeding as
thing which cannot be taught, but is
partly congenital and partly inhaled
unconsciously from our social atmos-
phere.
Lord Chesterfield took emphatical-
ly the French view, and his failure to
teach his son good manners does not
prove that the system was wrong, but
merely that the son was deficient in
intelligence. "Good breeding is the
natural result Of common sense and
common observation. Common sense
pGnts out civility, and observation
teaches you the manner of it, which
makes. it good breeding" "Observe
carefully what pleases you in others,
and probably the same thing in you
will please others. If you are pleased
with the complaisance and attention
of others to your humors, your tastes,
or you weaknesses, depend upon it the
same complaisance and attention on
your part to theirs will equally please
them"
This, Of course, is the secret of the
business. Good manners consist in
consideration for other people, that
is to say, in intelligent altruism in
small matters. It isabsurd to say that
this kind of unselfshness in trifes
cannot be cultivated, because it is
largely a matter of attention. Mans
ners are to high degreesteachable,
and parents can do very great deal
to make their children agreeable by
impressing upon them the worldly
utility Of being so, for no other argu-
ment would be of the least avail. It
is much to be wished that parents
would DO so, for the manners of the
rising generation are marked by un-
abashed seldshness aud cynical irrev-

Mrs. G. *. Larzelere, Amigo, Wis,

If some of these nervous, tired, irri-
liable women would only leave off cof-
fee absolutely and try Postum Food
