A FAMOUS SENTENCE.

Education"
The remark which Steele made in
reference. as is generally supposed, to
Lady Elizabeth Hastings has often
been quoted and almost as often quot
ed incorrectly. Steele wrote, Though
her mien carries much more invitation
than command, to behold her is an
immediate check to loose behavior; to
love her was a liberal education"
There are two curious Interpretations
of this bright and famous sentence,
which Thackeray declared to be "the
finest compliment to a woman that
perhaps ever was offered" One is In

CLEARING House Operations.

A clearing house is an agency estab-
lished by the banks of a city to which
all checks drawn upon one city bank
and deposited in another are sent for
payment Every morning there is
clearance. or settlement. of accounts,
In which the checks deposited in each
bank and the checks drawn upon each
bank are separately summed up and
compared. If there is more deposited
in bank than there is drawn upon It
the bank receives the difference in
cash. If the reverse is the case the
bank pays the balance instead OF re-
ceiving it. The term clearance means
either the act of settlement or the
sum Of all the checks presented for
payment The amount of business
done by the clearing house is pretty
sure index of the general condition of
business.-N York American

1t is only within the memory of liv-

the cruelty of their owners. Owner

Lord Erskine, which Charles G. Har-

shows how this legal authority would

Record
On Keeping Diary.
Everybody has heard of Mark
Twain's caricature of a diary, "Got
up, washed and went to bed" and to
some people that fling covers the sum
and substance of diaries. They don't
keep any. Much. however, may be
said for the diary. 1t might some
times come handy to know where you
were and what you were doing on a
certain day, though there may be diff
ference of opinion about the advantage
Of such knowledge generally. How
ever, we think any well intentioned
life can stand a record Of its daily do
ings, and. whether of value or not,
such a record becomes increasingly
interesting with advancing years. A
man of our acquaintance, young
lawyer, was asked. IF you don't keep
a diary, how do you know what you
were doing last yearY He answered,
Il don't want to know what l was do
ing last year" What this worthy
young lawyer said facetiously may be
felt by some seriously. There are
lots Of days that people would be glad
to forget. and diaries, Of course, make
us remember. Here's a good rule for
young lawyers, facetious and other
wise. and also for all kinds and condi-
lions of men, in Newark and every
where else:

On the appointed evening arrived
at the given time, and after an ex-
cellent dinner, at which all members
of both families were present, we re-
paired to the great drawing room,
where the chairs had been arranged in
a semicircle about two small, round
tables. Presently two grave old gen
tlemen, the family notaries, who had
not been seen to smile during the
whole dinner. took their seats in front
of the tables, and when we were all
assembled the elder commenced to
read a long memoir, which he an
nounced he had compiled with the help
of his colleague. Then, to my utter
amazement, he began to name all the
possessions of the future bride and
bridegroom-so many bonds and mort
cages, so many houses, farms, wood
lands, prairies, articles of personal
adornment, furniture and jewels; the
ways in which they might be used or
disposed of, what would happen in
case no children were born of the
marriage, in case of death of one or
the other of the parties. In fact, all
the misfortunes, all the most terrible
and saddest events, had been foreseen,

questions of business allowed to fore

not all have been spared them?

ON SOCIALISM
Second Part of Editorial Appears in

April.

NEW YORK, March 25.-"We can
work with socialists" is the caption
OF the second part of Roosevelts ed
itorial on socialism, appearing in the
Outlook for April. The publication OF
the first installment aroused socialist
leaders to bitter counter attack.
Roosevelt points out what he con-
siders some strong points advocated
by socialists, but condemns in general
the doctrine. There are many
schemes proposed" he writes, which
the socialists enemies and a few of
their friends please to call socialistic,
or which are indorsed and favored by
the men who called themselves So
cialists but which are entitled to be
considered each on its merits with re-
gard only to the practical advantage
which each would confer. Every pub
lie man and every reformer is bound
to refuse to dismiss these schemes
with the shallow statement tlat they
are "socialistic.'
