Deible SAFE AND CONSERVATIVE BANKING. EVERY ACCOMMODATION CONSISTENT WITH CAREFUL BANKING. Love Tokens. The ancient English custom of giving love tokens on the 20th of August died out many years ago. The custom was for "ennuimired miiydes and gentle women" to give to their favorite swains as tokens of love little handkerchiefs three or four Inches sqtiure, with a but ton or tassel at each comer and a small one In the center. The finest ot these favors was edged with narrow gold laco or twist and then folded up In four cross folds so that the middle uiltfht be seen. They were worn by the fortunate swains In their hats or ou the breast. The favors were gen erally the handiwork of tho "fuire nitiyde" herself, and well tihe liked to work tho most beautiful figures she could for her favorite suitor, but they became so much In vogue In Queen Elizabeth's time that they were sold ready made In the shops. This,' of course, destroyed the romance of the custom, and hence Its death. Trapping the l'nmon. As William Morris was an English man, It may not seem remarkable to Americans that he did not always get tils Jokes right end first. In a biog raphy of her husband Mrs. Edward Burne-Jones tolls of the ease with which ho reversed them. They had all been asking conun drums. "Who killed his brother Cain?" asked Burno-Jones. Morris fell into the trap at once. "Abel!" he shouted. Later in the day he came in laugh ing. "I trapped the parson, by Jove!" he exclaimed. "I asked him, 'Who killed his brother Abel?' " 'Cain,' he snld at once. "'IIu!' I said. 'I knew you'd say that. Every one does.' I came away and left him puzzled enough, and I doubt if he's found out yet what tho matter was." Shurk Del lento In nptlvlty. Sharks are rather delicate iu captiv ity, and it Is difficulty to keep them in aquariums. Whatever care may be bestowed upon them they do not seem to be able to stand confinement, how ever largo the tank or pool may be. In captivity sharks swim round and round the tank, nine times out of ten taking one course and never reversing. A shark has been known to keep Us course for three or four months with out change and, except for food, never halting, so far as It was observed. It would keep going all day long and would be found going In the morning Just the same. If food was placed in Its way, it would stop for several iniu utes and eat, remaining headed tho same way. Presently It would start on again in the same direction ou lis rounds, moving slowly unless dis turbed. Necessities of a Ilnppr Life. There are two fundamental necessi ties for a hnppy life namely, n useful occupation for mind and body and an outlet for unselfish affection. The first requisite for enduring happiness Is in having work to do in which one be lieves. Such work always aims at the accomplishment of something useful. While this work must be done with fair efficiency, It should not be accom panied with too much drudgery or ex haustion. The slmpler'the plan ou which one's living Is modeled the less will be the complications and disturbances caused by an ovorelaborate scale of existence and the more time will be left for the real duties and pleasures of life.

"a K. 0. Bchuckbrs, Cashier. John IT. Corbett R. U. Wilson VOLCANIC ACTIVITY. A Theory to Hxplaln the Source amd Cnnae ot Ernptlona. In a volume on volcanoes Trofessor ('. Doelter undertakes to tell why vol canoes have eruptions. Melted rock such as Is Hung from Vesuvius requires n temperature of 1,(100 degrees Fnhreu licit, so that it becomes liquid only fur down In the earth, perhaps sixty or o hundred miles. Itclovv the outer crust of cooled and solidilied rocks there must be a large cone of rock which still remains solid because Its temperature is less than that of the melting point corresponding to the pressure under which U rests, and below tliut again there must be rock or magmn In a stale of fusion. It Is to this magma that l'rofcssor Doelter looks for tho primary source of all volcanic activity. At the same time the depth at which this primary reservoir of magma lies and the pressure under which it Is cou tined are so great that a direct eruption from It is incouceivuble, but when, by movements in tho overlying crust or otherwise, a channel Is opened tho magma may rise to a depth where it is surrounded y rock ot a lower temper ature than tho melting point. Iu these circumstances solidification begins. From all volcanoes large quantities of steam, of carbonic ucld and other gases are evolved, and the course of every lava stream Is marked by clouds of steam evolved from the cooling lava. At one time and the idea is still com mon this steam was supposed to have been derived from sea water which had obtained access to the molten lava while still underground, but this ex planation Is now generally rejected, be ing impossible in some cases and innd ecpiate In all, nud the greater part of the steam and other emanations from a volcano are now regarded as directly derived from an original store In the interior of the earth. However this may be. It Is certain that tho magma from which volcanic lava Is derived Is not merely In a state of Igneous fusion, but is combined with water and gases, which are given oit us It solidifies and by their escape frequently form minia ture volcanoes on the surface of lava streams. If the solidilicatlon takes place un derground tho steam and gases nre ex pelled, and, if there Is no free escape, pressure may increase till It becomes great enough to overcome tho resist ance of the overlying rock and so load to an eruption and the. formation of a volcano, whose character will depend ou the nature of the reservoir from which tho eruption took place. The French Student. Some of the French students nre mis erably poor. ?"o one knows how much poverty is hidden under those long curls and pale faces. Sometimes In the libraries in tho evening one sees a stu dent take a piece of dry bread out of his pocket and niuuch it while study ing, that being his whole supper. There was one student who always walked with his coat collar turned up. He was found frozen dead one morning, lie had hardly anything on underneath his coat. Hut while American students who find themselves hard up will do manual labor, If nothing better can be found, a French student would rather starve than do so, uud as one of them expressed it, "Rather marre during nine years and not do manual labor than live fairly well and finish the same studies In threo years and work for a living." Fails Letter in New York Tost. Houses In Slam In Caspar Whitney's book "Jungle Trails and Jungle Peoples" he says: "The Siamese builds his house of one story and ou stills for several reasons. The first, no doubt. Is to avoid the un pardonable sin of living in a lower story while an upper one is occupied by other human beings, especially wo men, who in Siam are not regarded as of much importance. The second,, aud I should say the most practical, if not the most aesthetic, reason Is to have a waste gate easy of access for the con tinually Mowing saliva from betel nut chewing and household refuse, which may thus bo easilytllsposed of through the crevices of the openly constructed floor." Napoleon's Mother. Napoleon's mother was as much of a soldier as her great son. On one oc casion, when he wanted his own way, she gave him to understand that the first duty of a soldier was obedience, aud that If he wished to be a soldier he must, first of all things, learn to obey. He had, to the end of his life, the high est regard for his mother. At his court she was styled "Mme. Mere."

The last great slave auction held hi this country occurred Just n year and a half before the war In October, ISoU tit the race track In Savannah. The slaves were the property of Fierce Butler, a picturesque ami prominent figure at that day In l'hilml"plila so ciety, who Is today only remembered as having been the husband of Fanny Kemble, the actress, reader and au thor. I lis family name was Mease, but he Inherited u fortune in lauds and slaves from his grandfather, Major Fierce Butler of South Ciirollnu, ou coudltloit that he should take the hit ter's name. , Butler's Inveterate passion for gam bling got him Into Unaiiclal ililllcultics. It Is said Hint he lost $Jti.OllU ou a sin gle hand four deuces against four kings held by his opponent. Finally, to meet his losses, Butler 'was forced to sell his slaves. There were D.S8 of them In till. Tho sale took two days and netted f 103.851). Butler had chosen a good time to sell. A year later his negroes would not have been worth u dollar a head. But the sale would have been more profitable had It not been announced as one of the conditions that no division of families would be permitted; hence in order to secure a good slave buyers often had to take with them Infirm or aged rela tives. Out of this limitation grew a memorable tragedy. Tom Fate, a well 'known Vleksburg trader, bought at the sule a man, his two sisters and his wife, with the guarantee that they should not be separated. Disregarding this, Bate sold the sisters, one to Fat Somers, a brother trader, and thcoth er to a resident of St. Fouls. What legal rights a negro had In the south were well protected. Somers was toid of the guarantee, nnd he sent the girl back to Fate and demanded his money. A quarrel was the result, and Somers was shot dead. Ten days later his nephew killed Fate and died from wounds received. The fend was kept up until every male bearing the name of Fate was wiped out, and then tho war liberated the sisters.

Among the be.it of the stories told by Russel, one of the Scotsman's former editors, was an instance of the Innate cleverness of the newspaper boy. Iius sel had entered a train at Prince's street station, F.dinburgh, or Friday, when a smart little newsboy immedi ately called out to him. "Scotsman, sir?" "How much?" said Bi'.ssel Jok ingly. "A penny, sir," replied the boy. "Oh," said the editor. "I d n't want today's Scotsman, but If you could give me tomorrow's I would give you a sov ereign for It."

The rain falling on the rocks sinks Into every crack aud crevice, curry lug with It Into these Assures surface mate rial which has been degraded by the weather and thus affording a matrix sulUcleut to slurt the growth of vege tatlou and afterward to muliituiu the plants. The fibers and roots of these plants, bushes aud trees thus brought into life, growing aud expanding, act as wedges to spilt up the surface of tho rock and to commence the process f wearing away. From this quality -jf destruction a large class of plants derive the name of saxifrages, or rock breakers, from their roots penetrating Into the minute fissures In search of water and so assisting in the process of disintegration. Iu winter the wuter collected In the hollows uud crevices becomes frozen and, expanding as It changes into ice, acts like a charge of blasting material In breaking up the rock. The pieces thus detached be come further disintegrated by frost and weather and, being rolled over uud over and rubbed agalust each other as they are carried away down tho moun tain torrents, are ground gradually smaller anil smaller till from frag ments of rock they become bowlders, thou pebbles nnd finally sand. As the mountain stream merges Into the riv er the pebbles and coarse sand con tinue to be rolled along the bottom of tho channel, while the raglllnceous par ticles and salts become mingled with the water and flow on with It either In suspension or Solution. While this disintegrating process Is going ou inland the rocks and-cliffs on the coast exposed to the sea are suf fering degradation by a similar proc ess nnd nre also being worn away by tho Incessant action of the waves of the ocean beating on them and attack lug them not only with the Impact of tho water, but also with tho fragments broken off, which, dashed ugaiust the face from which they have eroded, are thus used as implements of destruc tion. THE GARDEN OF EDEN. Its Location , a Mystery That Will I'rohuh:y Never Be Solved. The location of the earthly paradise or garden of Kdeu Is still a matter of dispute among orientalists nnd Scriptu ral scholars of highest reputation. Some have endeavored to locate It by tho fruits aud mineral productions mimed iu tho Biblical descriptions as they ap pear Iu the second chapter of Genesis; others by the rivers mentioned In verses 11 to 14 of the above mentioned chapter. The weight of Investigation aud tradition Inclines to an agreement that the Tigris and the Euphrates of modern geography are the third and fourth rivers mentioned Iu tho Biblical description of the garden. Those who agree so far differ widely as to what rivers should now be regarded as the ancient Tlson and Glhou. The Bud dhistic Bcholars, although they rejoct our Bible Iu the greater part. Incline to tho opinion that the Pisou is the sacred Ganges, and that the Glhon Is none other than the Nile. As to the last. It Is nltopetlier probable that they are correct ot: that point, because the Bibli cal account plainly says that Glhou "coir.passeth tho whole land of Ethi opia." 1 Spmo Investigations confirm that Eden was a spot of comparatively small area located on the tablelands of what Is now Armenia, from which rise tho Tigris nnd the Euphrates. A few scholars of distinction argue that the Adar.ilc paradise was located In Africa hi the vicinity of the mountains of the Moon. Still another school of oriental ists locate the celebrated garden In tho vicinity or the ancient city of Babylon. You will notice, however, that none of these tliCDiists has been able to get the four rivers mentioned In the Bib lical account properly located. Neither have they found a plnce where one great liver "separates Into four heads." This being tho case, it Is hardly neces sary to add that the exact location of Eden Is a mystery that will probably never bo solved. The Scott ot the Middle Arcs. John Florissant, born In 1337, Is call ed the Walter Scott of the middle ages. He was a churchman and a scholar. Living as he did In unsettled times, be fore nationality hud become well de veloped, he was destitute of patriotism aud, therefore, more reliable as a cos mopolitan chronicler. Ho traveled In France, Scotland, Italy and other coun tries. His chronicles are the result of his own observations and are valued as a faithful portrayal of the places, cus toms and manners of the people during his time, although not so reliable as his tory. The Word "Opera." . The word "opera" is a case of verbal specialization. Yet the Latin word meant originally nothing more definite than "work." The specialization, how ever, was thorough even In the time of Dryden, who defined an opera as "a poetical tale of fiction, represented by verbal and Instrumental muslck, adorn ed with scenes, machines and dancing," but the specialization Is scarcely more remarkable than that of "drama," Which means Just "deed," "action," or of "poet," which is simply "maker."

Take Your Time About It and Dent Shook Your System. Don't Jump up the first thing your eyes are open. Itemember that while you sleep the vital organs are at rest.

Take your time Iu getting up. Yawn and stretch; wake up slowly; give the vital organs a chance to resume their work gradually. Notice how a baby wakes up.
