The Saving- Banks.
It is nut to I tlonied that the fund
ln-1.1 by our savings-banks should be
watched over and guarded with reli
gions care; but, when the zeal that con
cerns itself wilh this most important
interest imjieac lies the whole (system of
savings lecause of certain derelictions
in the administration of the trust, it
commits a great wrong. Xext to the
uei-es-ity of fortifying the savings of
orkieople intrusted to banks against
all fraud, misuse, or mismanagement,
is the urgency of maintaining intact
llie confidence of the public in all sound
institutions. The savings-banks, with
out Ix-ing charitable institutions, are
more lieneliccnt than any charitable in
stitution ever devised. They are, in
truth, the only method ever conceived
by man by which the condition of the
working-class can lie x riii:inentl v ame
liorated. Jly atlordiiig a means of ren
dering savings secure and profitable
they encourage savings, and every one
who has studied the question knows
that jMiverty is to be averted only by
the industry and economy that accumu
late savings. Alms-giving mav at
times lie a teniiiorarv necessity ; but the I
so-called charities (.f the world have
made poverty than they have relieved.
The savings-banks, by paying a profit
on the savings intrusted to them, and
by utilizing these savings as capital, by
uliicti inlu-trv is sustained, have ac
complished a double l"W'tii-m-e that
can scarcely be over-fated. When Lord
.li fl'rey declared that the spread of savings-banks
is more likely to increase
the happiness and even t he greatness f
a nation than the most brilliant suc
cess of its arms (r fbe most stUH-udous
improvement of it- trade or its agri
culture, he stated no more than the
truth.
With these facts in mind, it is jh-cu-liai
ly painful to hear on every side de
nunciations of and s necrs against the
-avings-banks. It is too true that
w ithin a few years several banks have
failed and a good deal of distress has
U-en thereby inflicted; it K shamefully
true that some of these failures resulted
from flagrant breaches of trust; ami it
is urgently trite that every practicable
means should lie taken to insure bauk
dcMMtors against a re titii.n of such
disasters. Hut the current indiscrimi
iiatat ccn-ure is doing more real injury
than the failures did. When we sit-nil
influential coutcuiior:ir.v declaring that
the savings-banks "are no longer to le
trusted; that they do anything but
save: that they insure nothing but
total lnss to thoe who put their money
in them ;" and find these extravagant
utterances freely copied ami geiicrafly
sanctioned, it is necessary to protest
against thcin. They are supremely un
just and wholly mischievous. If the
fader will give his attention to a few
statistics, which, so far from liciug
"dry." wili Imth surpri-e and entertain
It i in. he will see the gross injustice of
the accusations we have ipioted. Our
statistics are necessarily confined to
tJiose of the State of New York, none
others lieing at hand :
There has Im-cii int rusted fo the sav-
ings-tiaiiks of tins Mate since tlietr

to tleMisitrs during this criod, as profit
or interest, one hundred and sixty-nine

f he amount field by ttieiu on January
f. !,i, ;at tins w ruing the statistics tor
the whole State up to the 1st of last
January are not in), w as three hunilrec
and nineteen million-of dollars. The
huge figures show the vastness of the
interest. Now, a careful estimate of
the losses that have occurred by failures
places theni at aluiut three millions of
dollars. "I have," writes a bank-of
ficer to us, "made a careful estimate
based m ion the oihiiiiiiiii- of the receiv
ers, the reports of the Lank sujierinten
dent, and my own judgment, and I
place the amount at aliout three mil
lions, which is half a million more than
the estimate of the siiiM-rintendent
This loss is lare. ami it has nearly all
occurred since 17: but, big as it is, it
is only one-eleventh of the surplus held
by the banks the surplus over and
above interest paid ; it is aUmt one-titty

port made to the Legislature in 170 the

the tenth of a mill on the dollar and
not a dollar of tlii- loss occurred through
fraud! . ml yet w e are told that these
banks "do any thing but save; that they
insure a total lo-s to those ho put their
money into thcin ;' ami we are further
told by the same authority that "con ft
deuce is gone." As the dcpo-its in the
banks in New York it y increased la
year fourteen millions of dollars, tlii
assertion is also a little at fault.
i nder any management there must
have tiecn heavy los-cs m coisHiieiice
of the recent great shrinkage in value
All old banks with a large proportion
of their funils invested in securities at
ante-w ar prices can readily withstand
the shrinkage; new banks necessarily
stagger under it; and unfortunately
new banks have within the last twelve
years Ik-cii organized with dangerous
frequency. Iji to 1S;.1, banks were
chartered on an average of one and a
half a year; from that date to 1S72 they
were chartered at the rate of eleven a
year. In this fact alone we seea xitent
source of danger. The hauk-dejiosits
had liecoiue so enormous that they at
tracted the attention of irresponsible
and reckless men. and, despite the
w arnings of the old banks, charters
were loosely and indiscriminately
given. This is now so well understood
that there is little danger of a rejieti
tion of the evil.
But. notwithstanding the dark sMifs
on the recent record, our statistics show
that, as a w hole, the savings-bank fund
has lice n well administered; and, pre
vious to 1S70, its history is fairly un
paralleled by that of any trust in the
world. We know of nothing in which
the ierceiitage of loss has been so little;
we know of no human device that has
rendered money more secure. Kven if
we include the recent history, it would
be difficult to xiint out any interest in
the country which ha? suffered less.
At a time when the most cautious en
terprises of merchants are attended
with loss, when nearly all investments
in real estate prove unfortunate, when
shrinkage occurs in all forms of secu
rities, w hen every kind of property has
depreciated, the savings-banks must
share in the general distress; but we
atlinn that the losses they have iutlicted
upon the community are much less
than those from any other source. And
as there are one hundred and fifty-four
savings-banks in the State, it is not at
all surprising that a small percentage
of them have not been managed with
the scrupulous honesty and judicious
caution that have marked the rest. It
mav oe that some others of the new
banks must close their doors; hut our
well-established savings-banks are
among the safest moneyed institutions
in the world, am) neither private per
sons nor public bodies have adminis
tered funds in their possession with re
sults so generally fortunate. Appleon

ancicntdivisiousof the day differ widely
from t lie customs of our own time.
Chaldeans, Syrians, Persians and
Indians Iw-gin the day at sunrise, and
1 1 vide the day into four parts. The
divisions of the day into ouarters wa
in use long tefore the divisions into
hours. It was only after the tirst sun
dial was brought from Catania, in Sicily,
to Koine, mat tne Unmans divided the
days into twenty-four hours. They
called tlie time between the rising and
setting sun the natural day; and the
time in the twenty-four hours. They
iM'gan and ended their civil day at mid
night, and took this practice from their
ancient laws, and customs, and rites of
religious ii-e, long liefnre they had any
idea of the divisions into hours. The
reeks divided the day into twelve
hours a practice derived from the
Babylonians, w hile in Kgypt the day
was divided into equal intervals of

laying out or improving the entrances
to gardens and parks. It says : "Small
cottages, or like buildings, for gar

and sufficient planting, and onlr the
front or a part of such structures should
be exposed to view. 1 h is screen-plant
ing, of course, must be In harmonious
connection with the gate-planting, but
only small sized trees can be used for
such planting,"Buch as sassafras, born-
bean, red bud, dogwood, and some tall
shrubs like filbert, combined with other
shrubs of medium size for the outline of
the planting.
If the structure of a gate-keeper's
house be very plain, or not elaborate.
compared with the architecture of the
gate, etc., then it should be covered with
some climbing plants.
Insmall gardens if it is advisable to
keep the view from the entrance, over
the lawn to the mansion free and open
it should never be interrupted
blockaded by large, compact trees, or
tall, dark and stiff evergreens, which
are often misplaced by incompetent
planters, in front or too near to the
building. The gate planting, as well
as the belt-plantings, to a considerable
distance on both sides from the man
sion, are screen and frame enough for
limited grounds; but the lawn in front
of the mansion should be embellished
by a few fine flowering shrubs, with
variegated leaves, etc., or with fine
dwarf or spreading evergreens, groups
of roses, etc., on which the eye will rest
w ith pleasure.
In large gardens and parks, where
distant view from the entrance over an
extensive lawn, to a lake, to a monu
mental structure, or to a remarkable
point in the perspective, or the course
of a straight drive opposite the gate, is
not expressly intended or required, a
one light group at a considerable dis
tance from the gate, and large enough
in proportion to the mass of foliage
represented by the gate-planting will
exclude the distant view in a pitting
and sufficient way. Only trees and
shrubs of a loose and graceful habit can
be used for such groups, opposite the
entrance, and they should always be
placed in the lawn; further off from the
entrance, if the trees of the group are
ot a vigorous and hih growth. Such
well-arranged planting Is like a greeting
and welcome to all visitors of taste.
Hour 'kkd ynj'Hi B. One singular
fact stated In the following paragraph
men we take irom the lmiana Home
Journal, has been repeatedly corrobo
rated in . he experience of the writer
Whether hogs require sulphur as an
essential to health or whether it
sought by them as a condiment, may
not be discovered, But one thing
true, they devour it with greed when
ever it is to be found. It is for this pur
pose probably that they will eat large
quantities of soft coal, which contains
a large amount of sulphur. Perhaps
this is the most economical method of
supplying hogs with sulphur during the
winter, when they require a good deal
of carbon. But in summer it is best to
feed it to them in substances which con
tain less carbon on accouutof their pro
ducing less heat. .Mustard isoneof the
best things for this purpose, and some
of it should be sown iu every pasture
into wmcn nogs are turned, ir nogs
are kept in, or are in small yards, it is
wen to supply them with wild mustard
that grows in the fields or highways, or
to cultivate foine of the best varieties
for them. They will eat its leaves, its
flowers, seeds and stalks.
borne years ago we had occasion to
buy a large quantity of Hocking valley
(Ohio) coal. Jt was stored in a lot in
the rear of a factory, easily entered by
ine neignoors' nogs, w inch were per
mitted to run at lorge in the town. On
several occasions these hous were ob
served to be eating the coal, and became
sucn a nuisance that they were ex
eluded. I hey appeared to select the
purest lumps, or those which on the
fire would yield the most tar, melting,
so to speak. Many of these hogs were
very fat, not seeming to require any
ioou.
Raising Cream. Of raising cream on
milk, Arnold writes : "The second es
sential point is the fact that fats expand
and contract more with heat and cold
than water and more than the other ele
ments of milk, The difference in spec!
gravity between milk and cream is
varied by the circumstances of tempera
ture. It is greatest when "not and least
when cold, and this fact naturally af
fects the raising of cream. Cream raises
better in a high temperature than in a
low one, since the fat in cream bv
swelling more with heat will be rela
tively lighter when both milk and cream
are w arm than when both are cold '
Mr. Arnold treats cream in this wav.
but the facts of deep setting at a low
temperature are against him. and seems
to uisprove nis theory.

winter, while coal is b.dng burned in

burned, this is less trouble than hunt
ing for borers, and as the ashes furnish
utile too much alkali to suit their

the ashes or cinders are a very poor con
ductor, tney win not thaw out as early

SCIENTIFIC. . .. .
The Waae$ Value of Steam Fotcer.-
Professor Leone Levi, in a lecture to
working-men on "Work and Wages,"
estimated the amount of work required
to carry on some of the industries of
Great-Britain. There are 20.000.000
acres of land cultivated, which at 8 is
160.000.000. The cotton trade requires
80.000.000, wool trade W.ouo,ouu, iron
trade 30.000.000. merchant marine
70,000,000; railways have 600.000,000
invested in them, and the waterworks.
gasworks, and other undertakings all
call for similar vast sums. Construc
tion may be considered as the fixation
of work, and here we have about
thousand million pounds of fixed labor.
Labor in use deals with figures and
values that are quite as large. The
annual industrial production of France
is 430,000,000, and of this 200,000,000
is labor, the remainder being called
material, though if the items of its cost
were ascertained current labor would
be found to make up a great portion of
that sum also.
But taking French manufactures as
they are reported, we can obtain from
them an estimate of the value of ma
chines. The hrst steam engiue was in
troduced info that country by the city
of Paris in 1789, the year of revolution.
At that time the cost ot labor in manu
factures was 66 per cent, and of ma
terial 40 per cent, of the whole cost. On
this basis the 330,0u0.000 worth of
material nsed now would require 4-10,
000,000 of labor to work it up. The
present industrial population of France
is o,4uu,uju, tuougu an are not; iuuy ef
fective, and on the old basis this would
have 10 be increased to 17,640,000
persons. 1 ne other divisions of popu
lation, tradesmen, etc., would also in
crease, ana the iesuft is nnafty ap
parent that France is not large enough
to contain and raise food tor the people
that would be needed to carry on the
modern business on the old methods.
The man power of the steam machinery
introduced into the industries is esti
mated at 31,500,000, and as it replaces
jtSio.oijii.ooo worth labor, we may
reckon the wages of a steam man power
at 7, or 35. per year, exclusive of
food (fuel) and lodging.
Some of the most eminent European
astronomers now conclude that the
rings of .Saturn are made un of multi
tudes of small bodies, and that the ex
planation is thus made easy as to how
the nearly circular movements of all
these, at different rates, should result
in the formation of rings of aggrega
tion and rings of segregation, appear
ing at the earth s distance as bright
rings and faint rings. According to
the investigations upon which this in
teresting theory is based, the dark
ring clearly corresponds in apiearauce
with a ring of thiuly scattered satel
lites. Indeed, the advocates of this
hypothesis regard it as impossible
otherwise to account for the appear
ance of a dusky belt across the globe of
tne pianet wncre me uarn ring crosses
the disk; that is, if the material of the
dark ring were some partly transparent
solid or fluid substance, the light of
the planet received through the dark
ring itself, would be so nearly equiva
lent to the light received from the rest
of the planet's disk, that either no dark
belt would be seen, or the darkening
would be barely discernible: iu some
positions a bright belt would be seen,
not a dark one; but a ring of scattered
satellites would cast as its shadow a
multitude of black spots and would
give to the belt in shadow a dark giay
aspect, such as is familiar to all ob
servers of this wonderful orb.
A Beautiful Fern. The Gleichenia
diearpa is an exquisite fern of the
natural order polyixxUieea: It is, we
believe, a native ot New Zealand: and
it is a highly ornamental addition to
the shrubbery and the fern house. It
is of a rich, daik green color, tlie
spores being brownish yellow. It
grows well and flourishes in a peaty or
loamy soil. It can be easily propaga
ted by divisions of the roots.
Botanists recognize as many as eiirht
sub-orders of ferns, the potypodm-ea
being known as the true lerus. This
class includes tlie great majority of
those with which we are familiar in
the wild state or under cultivation. As
many aa 3,000 different species of ferns
have been enumerated. In the earlier
geological ages, ferns formed an im
portant part cf the vegetation, as may
beseen by studying the coal formations:
and they are found in onr days in all
parts of the world. One peculiarity of
the genus is that many species flourish
best when secluded from the air: and
for this reason the Wardian case was
designed especially for their cultiva
tion, and has become one of the most

indebted to the Scientific American for
poiutingoiit this danger. This journal,

five, ten, or fifty thousand years hence
liould not retain any literary record of

that anellort should lie made to put into
uiieristiable form works of modern

secure place for future ages. In answer
to this ap)ieal of the inventive powers, a

then, by the application of heat and

Usb and Abuse oithi Bath. The
following U an extract from Dr.
Reamy'g lecture on "Uses and Abuses
of the Bath." delivered before the
faculty and students of the Ohio Medi
cal College: "Important as it Is to
keep these millions of sudatory ducts
open, it is very questionable whether a
lavish use of soap and scrubbing brushes
has the tendency to do so. In fact, the
contrary may be presumed ; for the ap
plication of soap to the outside cuticle,
well scrubbed into the pores with a
rough brush, must rather block the
capillaries than open them. The appli
cation of very warm water surcharges
the skin with blood, while that or very
cold water drives back tho blood, and
contracts the capillaries, there are
other reasons, however, why soap and
scrubbing brushes are not only unneces
sary to health, and. even inimical to It.
The outer cuticle, or scurf skin of the
body, is composed of the same material
as the nails, although the fibre is some
what dinerently arranged. It Is, In
fact, the enamel of the skin, and its
proper preservation gives to tlie skin of
a beautiful woman the ivory finish so
much admired. It is the protection of
the true skin beneath. But like the
substance of the nails, it may be pain
fully scraped or scrubbed off easily
enough. Under the microscope it Is
scaly like the skin of a Inn ; and these
scales may be easily scraped away.
Xearly all soap contains strong alkalis,
which soften the epithelium or scurf
skin, and rentier it easily removable
by rough scrubbing. A strong nesn
bi ush, rough towel and hot water: are
all wonderfully efficacious in removing
this protecting membrane, but are
holly unnecessary to health and clean
liness. The only really healthy and
proper water bith costs little or nothing,
and can be taken at home. Some say.
they huve uo time to tike a bath, but
this bath only requires eight minutes
before breakfast, which everyone not
Inordinately lazy m fake. Go to a
miner and get lum to make you a tin
tray about two inches deep and eighteen
inches square. This will cost about
sixty cents. Then buy a sponge, which
will cost you about a quarter. W ith
the tin pan, the sponge, and a gallon of
water, you have atl tlie requirements
for an excellent bath, and every person
should take such a bath daily. It is
only necessary to SHnge yourself thor
oughly from head to foot, and wipe dry
wiih a soft towel. I he exercise ol doing
this one's self no one else should do
it is excellent. The water should be
about the same temperature as the at
mosphere, if you are healthy and
strong, but If the weather is intensely
cold, tepid water may be substituted.
But the hath should not be taken with
the window open or in a current of air,
and the water should be of the same
temperature as the atmosphere in the
room."

Mosqciro Xkt Kkamk. This inven
tion consists mainly in vertical p ists or
rods, swiveled to the head of a txdstead,
and having horizontal arms to which
the net is attached by means of sliding
strings. The invention further consists
in connecting the said arms by a cross
bar or rod, which is adapted to slide
thereon, and to which the net is like
wise attached in the same manner as to
the swinging arm-. The invention
further relates to the peculiar arrange
ment of cords for adjusting or operating
the swiveled posts and extending or
retracting the net.
Muslim Curtains. A very pretty
way to make long muslin curtains is by
placing, two inches from the edge ol
the curtain, a row of imitation duchese
or Cluny lace insertion on the edge of
the curtain. Place lace edge to match
the insertion; tie back with bands ot
the insertion, blue ribbon or cambric
daced at the back of the insertion.
Curtains made up in this way do much
better than those trimmed with tinted
rullles, ami the cost is very little more,
f any.

This is an age of "investigations;" and
certain men of science and public spirit
have licen at w ork exposing the iinHs-
aires of deft slate-writers like lr.
Slade. and cunning conjurers of "spirit
hells" ami other strange phenomena
like the Jiev. t raut-is .M.ui. k. 1 he re
sult has been that, at many x.ints in
hnglaml, prosecutions fur conjuring
and legerdemain have Ix-en lN-gun and
prosecuted. Now the "pints if spirits
do, as is alleged, make themselves man
ifest to mortals were singularly faith
less to their professional In-lievers on
the occasion of these trials. Why hen
lr. Slade was in the dock, all on their
account, and Ix-ing tried for an odious
criminal offense, did not his phantas
mal companions once Tor all confound
his enemies, and make converts of a
world, bv iH-rforuiing some of their
customary marvels iu oiieu court? If
they had only lifted the judge in his
chair to the ceiling ever so gently; if
they had tipied the documents off the
clerk's table: if they had improvised a
hand of celestial iiiumc in the gallery;
if they could have simply floated lr
Slade as they had done Mr. Home
many a time and oft out of the window
and in again Is-hold how striking the
proof of spiritual xiwer would have
been! But this man, who wields a
sceptre over the spirit-world, stands
absolutely helpless iu a purely mortal
tribunal ; has to sit in a prisoner's dock
and hire lawyers, and produce wit
nesses, and furnish hail : nor does all
his suiernatural ower avail him a jot.
A fell Ih-Iow is really deing dealt at
spiritualism by these prosecutions of
its most skilful "mediums;" and the
exposures, which are going on here as
well as in Knglaud, come none too soon

doubt, sometimes wonderful; but so are
those of the Oriental wizards, who aj-K-ir

twenty feet above your head without

the more clear it become that they are
a vast system or legerdemain and trick

A Cijckqymax'9 Jokk. A clergyman,
a widower, residing in one of our Ver
mont rural towns, recently created a
first-class sensation In hi household,
which consisted of several grown-up
daughters. The reverend gentleman
was absent from home for a number of
days, visiting in an adjoining town.
The daughter received a letter from
their father which stated he had "mar
ried a widow with six sprightly chil
dren," and that he might be expected
home at a certuin time. The eflect of
that news was a great shock to the
happy family. The girls, noted for
their meekness and amiable tempera
ments, seemed another set of beings;
there was weeping and walling and
tearing of hair, and all manner of
naughty things said. The tidy home
was neglected, and when the day of
arrival came the house was anything
but Inviting. At last the Rev. Mr.
came, but he was alone. He greeted
his daughters as usual, and as be viewed
the neglected parlors there was a merry
twinkle in his eye. The daughters
were nervous and evidently anxious.
At last the eldest mustered courage,
and asked :
"Where is mother?"
"In Heaven," says the good man.
"But where is the wido with six
children, which you wrote you had
married ?"
"Why, I married hrto another man,
my dtars."
It is said to have been amusing to see
those seven girls set things to rights.

by guaranteeing his host's pictures. At
last, in despair, the latter exclaimed:
"Well, at least you must admit that is a
tolerable collection." "Tolerable, yes,"
allowed the academician, with a sar
donic smile; adding, "But what would
