BANKING SYSTEM CONNECTED.

There is war and the threat of war in Europe. Mexico is in the thoes of a chaos-making revolution. Europe is hoarding gold. Gold is being withdrawn from this country because Europe is willing to pay the price for it. A revision of the tariff is impending and a readjust- ment of business will be necessary as consequence. The laws in re- gard to trusts and big corporations are scheduled for change. Security values are at a low point-lower than in many years. There is much business uncertainty and yet business keeps up. Exports are still breaking records. Domestic commerce shows no sign of halt ing. With tariff changes at hand, with the uncertainty created by probable laws regulating trusts, with war abroad. with crop seas on approaching, what are the pros poets for strain on the banking and credit system next fall? The country's banking system has been convicted of inadequacy. It is triumph when it approximately meets the fair weather demands of business. What is to be expected of it when put under the strain that seems impending? It cannot be revised too quickly.

Charles H. Mann is noted for his charity and geniality. But above these qualities is his pride in discharging his duties according to the letter and the spirit of the rules which govern him. He is the superintendent of the press gallery of the house of repre- sentatives in the national capitol, has a total of 21 silver hairs on his head. and is believed to have been the first white baby born in the District of Columbia
 Last summer charitable Charlie, on account of his wide acquaintance with the newspaper correspondents and ed itors throughout the country, was asked to guard the door leading to the newspaper mems section at the Baltimore convention, and to admit no one unless he exhibited a certain white card entitling the holder to a seat in that section.
 After one of the evening recesses of the convention, when the cerre- spondents were rushing back to their seats, a finely built, snappy-looking young man brushed by Charlie and left with him a white card. Later on Charlie looked at it and read all there was on it, which was as follows:

Writers Cramp.

Biological tests by scientists at the London hospital show that writers $ cramp'' and other similar states of apparent muscular paralysis are actu- ally due. not to the tiring of the mus cles, but to brain flag It appears that the particular part of the brain which controls special combinations of mus cle action such as the movements of writing or the working of telegraph key, tend to become more quickly ex- hausted in some individuals than oth- CTS. Such exhaustion leads to state in which the brain is actually unable to send out it's necessary messages to the hands and fingers to write, tap a key. hold violin bow and so forth. Furthermore, once the nerve cells, the batteries" of the brain, get thor oughly run down it is not easy to re- store their energy. Heretofore it has been supposed that all troubles of the kind were due simply to overtiring of the muscles concerned.

In their turn, if they go out, they should write message for her, so that she will know where they are and when they will return If any one calls on any member of the family during his or her absence, it should be promptly recorded, together with any message that may have been left. Telephone messages should also be written down as soon as received. Each member of the family should look at the bulletin board immediately upon entering the house, and thus no one will ever be bothered by messages being forgotten.

Inf StRPtNI'S TONGUE.

While walking along the streets the other day we overheard cer- tain person make a remark about a lady as she was passing. It wasn't nice one either. We often won der what satisfaction a person car get out of making a vulgar or ob- scene remark about ladies as they pass along the street, and the more we hear of such the less we think of some men. It looks like they could find more to do than to talk unrespectfully of ladies. They no doubt forget that they have . mother or sister, and we wager bet they would want to knock a man crazy if they heard him make nasty remark about them. How ever, he doesn't stop to think that some one else's mother or sister is 
 just as good as his. The longer such people live the more they will talk. Their tongue is like serpent and will sting the pure and innocent every time it speaks. Get rid of such degenerates and the con- munity will be better of; Courier Democrat, Russellville.

FOUND IN RUINS OF LYsTRA
mains of Early Christian Church Reward Travellers Visit.

On the great sloping hillside where the chief buildings of Lystra stood and the level plain at it's foot, the only semblanee of buildings we saw, says writer in the Christian Herald, were some rough stone sheepfolds where the shepherds shelter their timid flocks by night or in stormy weather. Built into one of these rude sheep folds We found a beautifully sculp- would rejoice the heart of an archeol- ogist.
 In another part of the plain we saw the scanty ruins of a small Christian church. Near it fountain gushes forth This fountain is called Ayasma, and it's very name shows that it was considered sacred by the Christians.
 The most interesting site in all Lystra is that of the temple where Paul and Barnabas were hailed as gods. At least there is every proba- oility that it's location has been dis covered, for on the level plain, just before the land begins to rise to the hill on which the chief buildings were situated, on it's southeast side stands a pedestal on which is an inscription showing that it was dedicated to the Emperor Augustus, whose worship was connected with the chief temple.
 Here undoubtedly was the temple of "Zeus-before-the-City," and wonder ful discoveries and confirmation of Scripture doubtless await the excava- tors spade

Extraordinary Multiplication.

A German philosopher has calculat- ed that single grain of wheat pro duces fifty grains, and that these fifty will each produce fifty grains more, and so on. Thus he finds that the grain would develop in the following way: In the second year, 2.5o0 grains. In the third year, 125.000 grains. In the sixth year, 15,625.000,0o0 grains. In the the twelfth year. 244,140. 625,- 000,0O0 grains. The third years crop would give three hundred men one meal, leaving enough bran to feed eight pigs for one day. The pro duce of a single grain in the twelfth year would suffice to support all the world with food during their life time.-Bakers' Weekly.
