with which he wrote out the

He has opened 1900 banks
and the total deposits to date are
almost 100000. All of which
means that Teddy Weed, in spite
of his little mustache and less
than two score years, has inspired
more confidence than the old

Weed was born in Norwalk,
Conn, in 1876, but was moved to
Washington by his parents at an
early age and since then has con-
tinued to breathe the air of the
capital. Weed was given job
as stenographer for the govern

him $1,000 a year.
He never misspelled words and
seldom put letters in the wrong

child years old six months ago. The
Judge finds no convincing evidence,
| and supposes it to be malicious
charge, such as the Chinese love to
bring against an enemy. Dismissed
on security.
| Some of the results Of kidnapping and
child slavery appear in the next case.
A little girl, 9 years old or thereabout,
is produced in court by Miss Bonnell.
She was found running about in
"Frenchtown," and she gave her name,
but steadfastly refused to tell where
she lived It was evident that she
must be a runaway slave, and Miss
| Bonnell sent her runner through the
| city to look for the usual posted notice
that so-and-so had run away. He
| found such a notice of the loss of a
child bearing the name which she had
given, on the door of young China
man, an employee of the customs who
! appears in court, in European dress,
and testifes that he has always treat
ed the child kindly. The girl is stand
ing among the spectators, and II the
sight of that man she instantly dives
into the press of people and forces her
way to the most distant point that
she can reach. She says not word,
she can not be induced to testify, she
simply shakes from head to foot, as
the rabbit trembles before the dog.
She would go through the window or
throw herself into the river to escape
that man. Even the stolid Chinese
judge is moved, for he takes advan-
tage of special statute, applying on
ly to Shanghai, under which slaves. If
i'll treated, may be taken from their
masters, and the child is kanded back
to Miss Bonnell. In tina. custody she
is found few days later, seTenely
happy, unless some stranger appears
who she thinks may come to take he"
back to her master, about whom she
has never said a word, but at thought
of whom she is overwhelmed with
terror.-The Obvious Orient.

cursed with badness. Of his coats
William Morris said truly, one is all
front and no back, and the other all
back and no front, wherefore he
weareth two of them. Who can feel
a thrill in the stripe of a tweed or
long to hold against ones flesh the
surface of frieze and macintosh? Be-
hold the JOY of color in the woman's
garment and the delicate texturing of
her silks and chiffons. Without the
color of her garments the world
ceases to be gay. She alone has re-
sisted the smear of mans sooty in
dustries.
The manner of his being seated is
a grief and vexation unto woman. AS
she passes down the tube train he ex-
tends his feet so that she trips upon
them, or crosses his legs so that her
skirts bear record of the toe-tip she
has cleaned in her progress. He will
not be ashamed to finish his toilet as
he goeth towards the city, and whilst
a woman would sooner perish than
adjust a hairpin in public, he will
clean his nails and pick his teeth in

that walks?" But even he can be i'm

Latest Modes of Stimulating Plant
Life.
London Standard.

London Standard.
Some remarkable developments in
recent research upon the electro-cul-
ture of plant life we're demonstrated
before the Royal Botanic society IN
Regents Park on Saturday afternoon.
They are the outcome of study by
two German scientists along the lines
suggested by Sir Oliver Lodge and
Prof. Priestley, and show that not
only can the vitality Of plant life be
appreciably stimulated by electric in
fuence, but that it is also possible,
under similar treatment, to preserve
vegetation against external and in
ternal parasitic attack
In the first instance, wheat grains
were caused to germinate in 10 min
utes. A number of dry grains were
placed in a fine layer of earth upon a
copper plate, and after moisture with
an insecticide were subjected to a
powerful electric current. At the
conclusion of the period they were
examined and declared by many Of
the visitors to exhibit distinct signs
of termination. The demonstrator
showed that not only could electrical
treatment hasten the initial develop
>ment of the Seeding, but that plant
food could be pumped" into weak
lings. 1t was also possible perman-
emily to protect vegetation against ex-
ternal and internal parasitic attack.
The apparatus employed was capa-
BILE of producing currents Of low ten
sion or high frequency. The former
were employed for revitalisation and
parasitic determination. The promo
ters of Saturdays demonstration claim
to have discovered an insecticide,
which, deadly in it's effect upon in
sects and mammalian life, has no ef-
feet upon plant life, and that, once
plant is treated, it becomes perma-
nently immune against parasitic at
tack. The poison leaves the plant
through its skin within six weeks. OF
its application.
India rubber trees and specimens
OF eucalyptus and geranium were ex-
hibited and declared to be thriving
although impregnated with poison
The cost Of the treatment was stated
to be quite small, but the apparatus
which requires expert handling ow-
ing to the danger of high-frequency
discharges, was priced at $4,000. Con-
siderable discussion took place during
the afternoon upon the possibility OF
economically exploiting the treatment
on a large scale. Some doubt existed
amongst seed experts whether, with
the existing types of planting nlachin-
cry, the application was feasible. That
the demonstration has aroused keen
interest in the possibilities of electri-
catly stimulating plant life is gener-
ally admitted.

THE MAN IN THE STREET.
Some Suggestions as to Possible I'm.
prOyementS.

Edith NJ. Mason-Hinchley in London
Clarion.
The woman in the street has given
much cause for consideration. Why
has man only just discovered her? Lo!
is she not about to get the vote?
But man also shall receive consid-
Grafton. Behold him on a rainy day
in the city. He wears Tapping and
malodorous garment suggestive Of
North sea fisheries. In this he enters
any vehicle or habitation, regardless
of its draining water or rendering the
atmosphere unhealthy. He is asked
for a penny bus fare, and can not
conveniently extract it from a leg
pocket without standing up or violent
ly assaulting an opposite neighbor
with his extended foot, or else tear
ing his pocket from it's sub-structure.
, When asked by the inspector for his
ticket, he is plunged into furious agi-
tation, and searches every one of mis-
! II pockets in vain, until the woman
next to him points out that he has
tucked it in the cuff of his sleeve. The
II pockets are required to conceal at
different times and places smoking
material, handkerchief, and watch, a
knife, toothpick, letters and money.
The place of these is changed every
day that his wife may not discover
them. Could the woman thus distrib-
ute her belongings over her person
she would look a strange shape, and
man would say she looked a fright as
she extracted articles from various
parts of her anatomy and clothes. In
stead, she keeps everything under her
hand, and knows Of a Certainty where
it is unless she has lost it.
Behold him again, on the outside OF
a bus, how he takes a pipe to the
front seat and causes pain and dis
comfort to those who ride behind him
He cleans the bowl of his pipe and
empties it into the street, scattering
its foetid fragments over the passers-
by. Has he not also been known to
throw burning matches heedlessly,
! setting fire to the hats of women and
soaring the skins of horses? And
| though Women's dresses must touch
! the floors of train and bus, he is not
ashamed to spit upon them, nor be-
| fore her in the streets also.
And talking of his umbrella, have
you noticed it? How he never sees
Al umbrella stand, but carries it, drip
ping, into other places. Also he
leaves it standing in corners and
takes the best one of the stand at the
restaurant instead.
But the weapon of man is a stick,
with which he goes ont walking on
Sundays. He twists it in his hands
| so as to make the passing of him
more dangerous than a motor car. He
whips off the heads of all young ard
tender shoots of living growth. He
distUIbs TIE ness Of vaung birds and
drags down the Towering branches of
trees. The face Of nature is spoiled
by him.

FIRST USE OF FORKS.
An Invention Once Considered Useless
Luxury and Sinful Indulgence.

i
good taste, we're responsible for the
substitution of forks for fingers, says
the London Globe, but it is difficult to
trace their use there further back than
the time corresponding to the reign
of our Queen Elizabeth, and then they
were not widely known.
Fynes Moryson relates that when
bargaining with a ships master to
take him to the Levant and on stipu-
lating the use of fork as we'll as a
knife and spoon at meals he discover
ed that the owner of the vessel was
not acquainted with it, and in order to
obtain what he desired he had to de-
scribe it, which he did accordingly,
as an implement ITO hold meat while
he cut it, as he considered it i'll man
ners to touch the meat with his
hands,"
It is a curious fact that many in
ventions, afterward of great benefit to
mankind, are at first opposed tooth
and nail and have to make their way
by degrees. Such was the case with
forks. In some parts of Europe they
were considered a useless luxury and
sinful indulgence and were for a long
time under the ban of the clerics,
though these latter eventually had
to give way and tolerate their use by
those who wished to keep their fingers
clean.
In Germany the ordinary people re-
garded the innovation as absurd af-
rfectation, while the clerics considered
them an insult to Providence, who had
given man wholesome food which he
ought not to be ashamed to touch with
his fingers. In courtly France, how
ever, forks were welcome addition
and speedily became popular.
Coryate, a traveller and very ODD
character, of some reputation among
the wits of Ben Johnson's time, claims
to have introduced the fashion Of the
"forked cutting Of mea1' into this
country. His pretensions to this
honor have, as far as we are aware
never been disputed, though there is
little to substantiate his claim.
The custom in England was of yer!
slow growth. In the reign of James
and Charles the fork was only par.
! TALLY used, according to the writers
of those periods, and even under the
| Commonwealth honors were equally
divided between them and fingers. The
royalists, however, found them very
handy and adopted them for stabblns
"Old Nol," who was represented BY
anything that could be pierced anc
swallowed at a mouthfu1.
Later on, at the Restoration, theil
use became more general, but people
we're By no means agred on the best
method of handling them, and rules
were soon formulated for guidance
SO that genteel persons could pride
themselves On the nice conduct Of The
fori liter the manner observed al
court.
Yet it is difficult to overcome the
prejudices of old customs, and the
sati-ists of the day often amused
themselves describing the awkward
ness of their country cousins who, on
visiting town and using the instru-
ment for the first time, thrust the
morsel they had transfxed over the
shoulder, while their fingers, from
corce of habit found their way into

The resolution which declared against
violating the contract with the various
Chicago newspapers will be submitted
formally before the various locals at
