The Peril of Overstudy.

The suicide of promising young col
Iege student and the recent breakdown
of Young girl who had come from a
distance to Boston to acquire a higher
education, are instances which serve to
call attention TO the peril that now lies
in over study. To be siudious is adj
mirable but to devote ones energies to
the acquiring Of book knowledge with
such application that the mind collapses
and judgment is dethroned is pitiful.
There is no middle ground between
Indifference and extreme zeal that every
pupil should endeavor to attain. 1t is
better to be near the foot OF the class and
to have health and strength and fair
working knowledge than to- be among
the: leaders and a nervous wreck.
Teachers should give kindly advice to
The students who are inclined to over
study and parents should be watchful
and prevent injurious devotion to studies.
A thoughtful word in time may save
many a girl from breaking down.

Banks Must Obey the Law.

Comptroller of the Currency Murray
January I8 took steps to compel all ma.
tional banks of the country to maintain
their legal reserves. The law regulating
the reserves, the most drastic in the Ma
tional Bank act, never has been strictly
enforced it is said.
The national bank examiners will now
report all banks whose reserves are con-
tinually below the legal limit. While
most Of the banks MAINTAIN proper re-
serves. there are some which have disre-
garded the law for 10 wears. Under the
statute the Comptroller is authorized to
appoint receiver for any bank that fails
to hold its legal reserve or TO call upon
the Acknowledgement to revoke the
charter.

fiat side, with wooden pegs driven into

Der whether the door hinges were made
of wood or iron. | think it was about
24x30 feet in area. 1t stood on the first
spur or point of land that comes in from
the northwest, some fifteen or twenty
rods from Abner Nichols old hotel, near
the foot of Commerce street. The first
quarterly meeting was held here in
1885.
The first class of this organization
consisted of William Kendall and wife,
John Wallace and wife, William Phillips
and wife, Andrew Remfrey, William
Ball, Mr.. Miller and wife, Mrs. S.
Thomas and James Nancarow. For
some time these few persons congre-
gated at their dwellings, and had regular
prayer meetings and instructions by the
laymen Of the fold. Early in Septem-
Der, Rev. Thomas Haney, a noted pio-
neer Circuit rider" was sent here by
an Illinois conference and frequently
held religious meetings, which were at
tended by large numbers of the miners
Of the vicinity at that time, though it is
surmised more out of curiosity to see
the man who dared to venture in their
midst, and assail them for their laxity
of morals, than to partake of the relig-
ious blessings offered there. The so
ciety continued to increase until, in
1897, it aggregated thirty members.
During the fall of this year, small
rock church was built on the corner OPP
posite the present elegant structure.
Early in the year 1888, this edfice was
dedicated and services instituted. The
society having church, now desired a
resident pastor, but as the congrega-
ton was small and unable to support a
minister alone, the idea for time was
