The Worst Panic Year.
the National Magazine.

From the National Magazine.
Political rancor was at its height
when Andrew Jackson vetoed the
bill renewing the charter of the
United States Bank and removed the
Treasury deposits, under which OPP
position the bank collapsed, and a
vast number of State banks COM
peted for the business, which includ-
ed the issue of bank notes. In 1887
there were 634 banks, with an ag-
gregate capital of 1921, 100000.
In the history of banking the year
of 1887 is prominent for one of the
worst panics that was ever known
in America, which resulted in the
failure of many banks, and a uni
yersal suspension of specie payments
throughout the country, which were
not renewed until over a year and
a half later. During this trying
period, when banking operations
were practically wiped out of exist
ence, all the banks but three con-
tinued doing business in Boston
There were temporary suspensions
of specie payments in 1857. known
as the panic of '57; also in 81, when
Boston followed the lead of New
York, since it was evident that
further attempt to tide the popular
panic would mean ruin to all the in
terests involved. There are men still
living today who remember with
shudder the trying times of 81, when
the merchants met in the Boston
Merchants Exchange day after day,
insisting that the banks must be
sustained; until finally Amasa Walk
er rose up and said: 1Gentlemen,
the banks must suspend specie pay
ments There were murmurs of dis
content and they were almost ready
TO lynch the Ex-Governor of the
Commonwealth for the bold position
he had taken, but he faced them
courageously, and next came the
news of the suspension of the New
York banks.

There is greater temptation to
seal things up when the weather is

productive of more disease than a
warm winter. If the weather is mild

The Aftermath in Bulgaria.

From the Chicago Record Herald.
Thousands of men, women and chill
dren are literally starving in Bull
garia, and unless relief is promptly
sent by Europe and America many of
these will die. Moving appeals for
contributions are made by charity
workers and earnest observers. This
is one of the consequences of the two
Balkan wars. Another is the sudden
rise and development of a Socialist
party in the Bulgarian parliament, as
we'll as the development of an
agrarian party. These parties are
bitterly arraigning the king and ac-
cusing him of sacrificing $4,000 men
for the glory of the monarchy.
One cannot tell what would have
happened in Bulgaria politically if the
king and his generals had won the
second as we'll as the first war But
famine, misery, business depression.
relief movement would have followed
in any case. Whom has the Balkan
war benefited, and what has it
settled? Where is the Balkan alliance
now? If the great powers had i'm
posed reform on the Turk and at the
same time had forbidden resort to
arms by the little powers, civilization
would have been advanced without
waste. without slaughter and without
lasting hatreds and animosities.

MYSTERY OF THE SALMON.
Their Annual Mad Rushes and Death
After Spawning.

The worlds greatest salmon runs are
to be found along the shores OF the
north Pacific ocean. In the states OF
Washington. Oregon and California.
the province Of British Columbia and
Alaska. on the American side. and ii
IBERIA and Japan, on the Asiatic side.
So far. however. but few salmon have
been canned on the Asiatic side.
To one who has never witnessed
these annual runs it is almost an I'M
possibility to convey an adequate int
preston of the countless numbers OF
fish that swim in from the sea III the
late spring and summer. all imbiied
with the same desire-to gain suitable
grounds in the upper reaches of the
rivers. some Of which are from 1.5oo 70
300 miles in length. whore they may

THE CURIOUS AxoL0TL.
it's = Regular Jekyli and Hyde Sort %
Reptile.

Persons of only ordinary powers Of
observation know that tadpoles become
frogs. This process Of transformation
Is one OF the most interesting Of the
many curious things that so on about
us every day. The case Of the tadpole
and frog is mentioned that the reader
may more easily understand a reptile
that is found in southern California
and Mexico.
There are several varieties Of sala-
mandrine reptiles in North America, all
of them perfectly harmless. One IN
particular lives iHNhe desert regions OF
the southwest. The M%eXicans call it
the @axolotl. 1t is perhaps the most
curious of all reptiles. 1t is a light
gray or pure white translucent reptile
about seven inches in length. 1t lives
in lakes and ponds. breltlles through
gills Just hack Of the front legs. has 4
long tail and caudal fins above and
below that extend its entire length and
-four stout legs. with which it creeps
about the bottom of the pond.
In the region where these reptiles
live long continued dronghts are COM
mon. Then the ponds and lakes dry
up. As the water falls evaporation be-
gins. Instinct warns the aNolotl that
there will shortly be NJ water. and he
makes preparation fir 4 terrestrial
life. The -iils disappear. and he IA

the axoioti loses Il portion Of his tail,
sheds his eaudal fins. changes from
white to brown with gray spots and
when the water is quite gone takes -

Salamandcr.
The most remarkable thing about it
all is that when the water supply is
not exhausted he lives his entire life
as an axolotl and never tries to become
n spotted salamander. BY experiment
tation an axolotl has beer made to uu
dergo almost complete transformation
and then has been turned back into an
axolotl again.-Youth's Companion.

Judge Wilder's name for the bench

is brewing with the jusiceships and
