Nickel Savings JtSanks. Begun purely as a philanthropic movement, without the expectation of profit to their managers, savings banks have grown to prominence in financial systems. The first of these institutions of which there is any account was es tablished by Mrs. Priscilla Wakefield, in England, in 1801, under the titlo 1 neudly Society for the Benefit of v> omen and Children," and was in tended to encourage thrift among the wage earners. Sixteen years later, under government control, thero were seventy-eight of these societies to tako charge of the savings of the poor. Afterward "banks for the poor" were organized on business principles under regular bankiug rules until, as shown by the statistics of 1889, there were 14,000,000 depositors whose savings amounted to $1,000,000. In 1810, at Boston, the first saviugs bank was started in this country, and was known as the Provident Savings Institution. In 180S it had. deposits amounting to $9,818,880. The scheme of savings bank has been verv popular in this country, and the number of those institutions is almost co-extensive withl the number of towns and cities. The United States has greatly surpassed the old world in this particular, and the superior condition of the working classes attests the practical good results of them. In New England alone 594 sav ings banks in 1880 had $824,515,102 in doposits. It is observed, however, that the poorer classes do not much avail themselves of the advantages of institutions, tho depositors being in the groat majority tho middle or eomfort ablo classes. In Europe, on the con trary, savings banks appeal chiefly to the humblest wage-earners. The prac tice of thrift and economy where they are most desired is correspondingly greater in Europe than with us. Thero penny savings banks are numerous; hero tho nickel savings bank is tho minimum. But these banks are in creasing, and though but recontly in troduced, it is believed they will prove of very great service in bringing into line tho classes that have hitherto ig nored savings banks altogether. Tho first nickel savings stamp system was started in Detroit two years ago, follow ing the plan iuaugurated in Frankfort, Germany, in 1882. It is now in a flourishing condition, aud about 70 per cent, of the pur chasers of stamps are children undor 15 years. This begins in the right place with the lesson in economy and saving. The plan is simply to buy the stamps issued by the bank aud paste them on a special page of a prepared book. When a page is filled with stamps it repre sents sl, and the page is then mailed to the bank, when the sender is ac credited with the sl, which straightway begins drawing interest at a rate 4 per. cent. Tho plan is simple aud recom mends itself well. The system is spreading and will in time bo a feature of ovory city in the Union, sinco it is a good financial scheme and appeals to the poorest wage-earner as a convenient medium for saving.— lnter-Ocean, The Hug; niul tlio Klcpliunt. A Bug Tvent to tho Lion, who hail been made Kiug of a certain district, and with a groat show of Indignation and Outraged Innocence Demanded that the Elephant bo summoned to stand trial. AVhen the Behemoth was brought before the Tribunal the Bug said: "O King, I charge tho Elephant with obstinately standing in suoh a Position as to exclude my sunlight, and I pray that he ho punished." "How is this?" asked tho King of tho Elophaut. "I am very sorry, O Sovereign, but it was at the end of the l'ath and I could go no further." "But 1 ordered him to go backwards," protested tho Bug. "A Treo had fallen, 0 Sovereign, and I was temporarily shut in," answered the Elephant. "But I ordered yon to remove the Tree!" insisted the Bug. "At what hour of tho day was this?" asked the King. "At high noon, Most Worthy," replied the Bug. "Aud it was a hot day?" "Ono hundred and two degrees in tho shade, OKing." "And the Elephant stood between you and tho Eierco Sun?" "He did, O High ond Noble, and lie paid no attention to my protestations." "I see. My Decision is that tlio Ele phant should have liespected your Kiglits, hut did not, and ho is Sentonced to pay a Fine of ten cash." "Good! That's Bnh'y Old Justice and no Discount!" chuckled the Bug. "And on the oilier hand," continued the King, "1 find that the Elephant was Magnanimous Enough to stand between you and a Sun which Might have Pros trated you if not caused your Demise, and my Decision is that you pay him twenty ensli for his Praiseworthy Action.

A 15-year-old New Yorker has conclus ively proven it to be a fact that the only animal in tho great Barnum-Bailey show which refuses to eat peanuts is the llama. The ponies who used to despise the hum able nut now cut them greedily. Even the elephants tantalize their stomachs with the occasional ones that come their way. WHILE the number of farms in the United States increased ninety-six per cent, from 1800 to 1880, the average number of acres in each farm diminished during this same period thirty-three per cent. During tiiis poriod of twenty years, while the asregatc number of acres iu farms increased thirty-two ner cent., the improved land iu farms increased seventy-five per cent. From 1878 to 1878 the number of acres in the principal farm crops increased 85,841,772; from 1876t0 1883,48,880,501, and from 1888 to 1888 only 21,851,589. THE discovery of rich diamond fields in British Guiaua will be a surprise, for though the country is rich in mineral, there has never been any suspicion that it contained diamonds. In fact, much of South America has not been pros pected, for, like Mexico and Central America, the climate and tropical vege tation have prevented anything like careful exploration. With the railroad building that is now going on in 'Colom bia and some other States, there will fol low a great development of the mineral resources of lands that have been as re mote for all practical purposes as though located in East Africa. AN important change in the French mode of punishing criminals is clTccted by a law lately promulgated. Hence forth a great distinction is to be drawn between a first offence and those follow ing. In case of condemnation to im prisonmcnt or line, if the prisoner is brought up for tho first time, the crimi nal court is authorized to postpone the execution of the punishment. If for five years the criminal is not convicted of any offence, the postponed sentcucc will fall to the ground. If the criminal, on the other hand, commits a second offence, the first punishment will be carried out independently of that following on the second offence. The presiding judge of the court is directed, on suspending the sentence, to warn tho criminal of the consequences of committing a second offence. A MAN just back from Germany says: ; "The only way of stoppiug the danger- ! ous practice of carrying canes and urn brellas horizontally has long been known ; to the people of Berlin. There a man j no sooner tucks his walking stick under j his arm than he feels a quick blow on it ; from behind. It either drops to the : pavement or assumes the only proper and safe position in which a stick can be car ried. There is no use in his getting angry with the person who struck the blow or in his trying to do liiui up, for public opinion is with the regulator of the barbarous and indefensible practice of which 1 speak. I have seen dozens of Americans treated to this discipline in Unterden Lir.dcu while they were endan gering the eyes and discommoding the bodies of the crowds there. Most of them whirled about with fight bristling all over them, but a glance or two at the angry faces around tnem usually sufficed to caliu them down. "AMATP.ru photographers," says a photograph printer, "sometimes take queer things. Recently 1 was called upon to make prints of an ossified man who has lain helpless in bed in a Nov Hampshire farm house for thirty years. They wore for his people, and by their instructions the plate was returned to them. Dogs, cats, naked babies and children wading in the surf are favorite subjects. I recently made prints of a remarkably fine picture of a litter of pup pies straggling about. So fine was it that a friend of mine, a leading Boston artist, offered me a good round sum to let him have a priut, that ho might paiut a picture from it. Of course I couldn't do that, but I sent him to the amateur. But it was no use; the ama teur wouldn't have it. The 4 Me-ad- Jaek' attitude is another favorite of pic i turc-takcrs—the rear view of a naked small boy and a big dog sitting side by side ou a log that overhangs a stream." ACCORDING to the New York Tribune, "The enlistment of Indians in the Army is by no means a failure. Few people understand the difficulties attending the inauguration of the scheme and the dc lays incident upon the completion of details. Assurances hnvo come from two sources, Rosebud Agency and Cheyenne Agency, of the enlistment of nearly 100 Indian recruits at those points. When the formalities regarding similar enlist ment3 at Mount Vernon Barracks are completed, forty of the Geronimo cap tives will be recruited. The companies of the 12th Infantry at.Mt. Vernon, Ala., are under the division of the Missouri, although the post is in the, division of the Atlantic, and it is desired to have these ludian recruits also under the for mer command. The question of status has not come up as yet, but there seems to be no doubl that the prisoners who enlist under the Indian recruiting pro vision become free, for the dual role of captive aud soldier is not accepted as possible by the military authorities." A MEXICAN geutleman lately gave a bit of curious history with regard to the proposed Nicaragua Canal. lie said that in the early days of the Spanish occupa tion there was talk of.a canal across the isthmus, and a Spanish explorer named Gomara in 1551 indicated the Nicara gua route as the most feasible between the two seas. The Spanish Government did not at the time give the matter at tion, but 1781, desiring the quicker communication between the oceans, sent out an officer named Galisteo to make a survey of three different routes, and among them that through Nicaragua. He also reported in favor of the latter, but Spain could not raise the funds for construction. In 1888 the route was again surveyed, this time by an English man named Bailley, who was employed by the State of Nicaragua, and again in 1851 by Col. Childs for a company which proposed to undertake the canal. Noth ing came of it hut in 1878 an officer of the United States navy made the surveys which resulted in the choicn of the route by the company which is now engaged on the work of the canal. LUCY HOOPER gives some interesting information regarding early marriages among the crowned heads. Queen Vic toria was married when she was not quite twenty-one, and the Prince of Wales es poused the charming Princess Alexandra before he was twenty-two. The Emperor of Austria took to wife the radiant Eliz ' abeth of Bavaria when he was not yet twenty-four. The present Czar ot Russia was twenty-one whet he gave his hand to Dagmar of Denmark, who was two years his junior. King Humbert of Italy was twenty-four at the time of his mar riage to the fair Marguerite of Savoy, then a girl of seventeen. The present King ana Queen of the Belgians were the one eighteen and the latter seven teen at the time of their wedding. And the late King of Spain, Alphonso XII., was very little older when he formed his brief union with his charming c ousin Mercedes. He was only twenty-two when he married his second wife, the present Queen Regent. And it was at the same age that the present Emperor of Germany was united to Augusta Vic toria of Schleswig-Holstein-Augustcn burg. The unfortunate Prince Rudolph of Austria was twenty-three at the date of his ill-starred union to the Princess Stephanie of Belgium. AN ELEPHANT FIGHT. The Smaller Tusker Was Soon Killed by His Antagonist. It was my good fortune to spend sonic mouths every season in a fine forest and hill country in India, where my duties gave me chances of seeing a great deal of elephant, buffalo aud other big game that frequented those parts. Our camp p as onja partially isolated hill a good deal above the surroundiug country. We had teen some days in camp, but had not been visited by our friends, the ele phants, when one afternoon the sudden bellow of one evidently in pain roused every one in the camp. A hill man presently came up to say that two large tuskers were hard at it close by. Every one turned out onto the hillside, from where it was easy, even with the naked eye, to see what was go ing on, while with a glass even the movements of a startled deer could be made out. About 700 or 800 yards below the crowd watching the tight were two tUbkers. The one somewhat nearer us— a burly, stout-built beast, with short, powerful tusks—was evidently getting much the worst of the combat, aud the white and red furrows in his sides and rear plainly indicated seams run by his antagonist's tusks. Blood could be seen trickling down his head and shoulders. On the rise of the hill was his rival, a still larger animal, possessing the ad vantage of longer, gleaming tusks. It was a lost fight, and in a few minutes the victor, with a quick rush at the other, made a good thrust at the side, and, though there was a severe struggle, the tusk went its full length in the now beaten brute, aud, using all his weight, the victor pressed him down the hill, where they disengaged themselves and prepared for another bout. The wounded tusker's roars of pain aud rage were pitiful to hear, and though lie would have escaped if he could, the other kept close behind aud adminis tered thrust after thrust, but not in any vital part. Presently, wheeling around they came together with a mighty smash. This was about the only stand made, and the weaker was quickly over powered by tho more powerful and fresher victor. Tho thrusts, now put behind the shoulders and into the body, quickly disabled the poor brute, and in fact in a few minutes the great beast rolled over dead. Next morning, on our proceeding to look for the tuskers, we found a large herd in an excited state, almost on the spot where the finish had occurred. In it were several small tuskers, besides the big conqueror of the evening before, who seemed to instil a great deal of fear into the youngsters, lie came now into the open glade with a line young female, and as he approached even the other cows there was a general stampede out of his way. We came on the dead beast, which had bceubuttcd and rolled, after it was killed, into a clump of bamboos. It had been a line burly animal, but was marked from forehead to rear and top to foot by rips and cuts, lie measured nine feet and six inches at the shoulder, and the tusks taken by the hill men proved slightly over 100 pounds to the pair. The victor, uhich in the tight seemed to tower over his foe, must have been quite ten feet high, and had the longest tusks I have ever seen clear of the sock ets. 1 tried to get him, but what with his harem about him, and the difficulty of getting a clear view in the long grass, I failed to get a shot. Our Trade with Australia. The tirst direct and continuous trade between this country and the Australian colonies wasjin 1852. Its growth up to 1870 was steady. Then the very creditable exhibits of the colonics at the Centennial Inhibition drew attention to them. As a result of these exhibits American manufacturers sent their exhibits in turn to the Sidney and Melbourne exhibitions of 1378 and 181)0. In consequence trade has largely increased, so that, last year no less than DO vessels of DP, 158 tons regis ter, and with a capacity of 18-7,000 tons, cleared from the port of New York for Australia, to say nothing of the trading | from the Pacific Coast. ( The new Commonwealth of Australia | is certain to seek closer trade relations with this country. Let the great Repub lic meet her half way, and the end of this century will witness the greatest imaginable iucrease of commerce between the two richest branches of our great family. Then instead of 100 ships of 200,000 tons' capacity thero will be 1,000 ships aud 1,000,000 tons of exchangeable commerce. The history of both coun tries aud peoples for the past quarter of a century shows that the increase of each in the production of wealth and in com merce has far surpassed the most san guine expectations, and history in this case as in others will repeat itself. —[The Forum. King of Crabs. The Japanese waters arc frequented by many species of the crab family, and have the honor of enveloping frhe largest of all crabs, the iuachus Kempferi or spider crab. These grow to an enor mous size, and from the point of one large claw to the other, with a well grown crab, the distance is fully ten feet, while the front legs are quite five feet long. The body is triangular in shape and small in comparison with the length of the legs. Clarence Greathousc, when American Consul-General to Japan, sent a good specimen to the State Min ing bureau, that is a veritable curiosity. The front legs are five feet and three inches in length, while the body is at least two feet wide. At the end of the great long spidcr-liko legs arc sharp, knife-like protuberances and the front legs have powerful pinchcr-liko claws, aimed with sharp teeth. As it is placed against the walls of the museum it looks liko a gigantic spider. These crabs arc eaten by the Japanese. East India doer skins bring five cents per pound. A rrobUm. Almost every newspaper we take up contains a notice of the death of some individual killed by railroad cars. "He was walking on the track, and beiug quite deaf, it is supposed that he did not hear the approach of the train." This sentence, or its equivalent, usu ally ends the paragraph; and then rises the query iu the mind of the reader: Why will people persist in walking on railroad tracks? Especially deaf people? Are they not aware they are deaf? As a promenade, the truck of any railroad doing au average amount of business, is not a safe retreat, to say nothing of its unpleasantness. We veu ture the assertion, and believe it can be substantiated by facts, that more people are killed by railroad cars through their own carelessness than through the carelessness of the much-abused ciass known as railroad employes. They will get on trains after they are started. They will get off trains before thoy come to a stop. They will insist in crossing the track in front of approaching locomotives; and if anybody says anything to the cantrary, then the American expression of "Mind your own business!" comes upon their faces, and you slink away, feeling as if you had committed a breach of the peace in trying to save them from getting themselves in trim for a coroner's iDquest. We remember that we once got a deaf man off the railroad track when two seconds later an engine, running at lightning speed, would have struck him. Ho was indignant at us, and angrily wanted to know "if we thought lie was fool enough to stay on that track and let that engine run over him? He guessed he'd got common sense." Indignation seems to pervade the bo som of a deaf man, if you hint to him that a railroad track is not a safe place for him. He will look at you, and take your measure, and his expression will seem to indicate that lie thinks you are meddling with some of his recognized rights, as a free-born American citizen. If he is deaf', he has his rights! Y'es, sir! Every day, as we travel by rail, we see reckless thoughtlessness as to life and limb, displayed by our fellow-trav elers. Men will stand to talk with acquaint ances until the last minute, and when the bell has sounded, and the train hands are all on board, and the train is beginning to move, they will make a frantic spring for the platform rods— and if they fail to grasp them, what then? The continual loss of life in this way, with which we are all too familiar, answers the inquiry. Again—on approaching a station, long bofore the train comes to a halt, the passengers who aro to leave the cars at that station will rush out, and crowd tlio aisles and platforms, and spring out beforo the cars have stopped; and broken limbs, and sometimes something worse, are frequently the penalty. Let all persons who travel make theso three rules, and adhere to tliem. It will be better than life insurance. Never cross a track in front of an ap proaching train. Never leave tlio cars while they aro in motion. Never attempt to get on board a train after it lias started. Meanwhile our problem—why do deaf men walk on railroad tracks V—r emains unanswered. It seems to bo a sort of mania with them; and we have no doubt, if we were deaf, we should select the railroad as our daily promenade.— N. Y. Weekly. 11 o Dot llie Vane. The Alderman from Cleveland, na turally desiring to take advantage of the occasion, was showing the boys a gold watch which his appreciative con stituents had presented him for heavy work dono in the interests of his ward. It was still passing around when a man in the corner, with a satchel between his feet, handed out a gold-headed caue, with the remark: "Boys, I might as well show off. too. This wasn't presented to me, but I got it on a fair, square vote of a whole town full of people." It was a hoavoy stick, with a massive gold head, and on the latter was an in scription to the effect that the cane had been presented to the handsomest man in a certain town in Kansas. One of the crowd looked at the man and the cano and blurted out: "Great shakes! but you don't claim that this was voted to you as the hand somest man?" "J do, sir," was the quick reply. "But you don't come within forty miles of even being common good look ing." "That's also true, sir." "Then how on earth did you get it?" "I was the only man in town who had over put up his dukes iu a scrap, sir, and when I entered the race for the cano the forty other fellers tumbled all over each other in their hurry to with draw. The purfesh is always respected where it respects itself." Ttio Descent of tlio Darings. Two centuries ago there lived at Bre men, in Germany, a pastor of the Luth eran Church named Franz Baring, or Bicring, says Spare Moments. Iu those days the ministers of his order might ho men of great learning, but their circum stances were at the least moderate. His son, John Baring, went to England and established himself as a clothmaker near Exeter, in Devonshire. From the ranks of the cloth drapers and the linen drapers, quite as often as from among the goldsmiths, the merchants, and bankers were then recruited. John Baring's son, Francis, born in 1740, was sent at an early age to learn the "art, trade and mystery" of a merchant, and boforo lio died ho mndo himself, by consent, the first merchant iu the world. He was director in the Honorable East India Company, then one of the highest rewards to which a merchant might hope to attain; for n time he was the great company's chairman; for twenty-two years he sat in Parliament, tlieu a far more oxclusive body than it has become under the extended suf frage; iu 1793 he was made a baronet; in 1810 he died. But his first title to honor is that he founded the house of Barings. His sous wore the first Bar ing Brothers. iii K l. l'Jacc,.

A silver watch that appears to have been resting on the bottom of the Mer rimac river, near Lawrence, Mass., for a century or two, was found by Charles Black well recently, says the Jewelers' Weekly. Attached to the watch was aj long, heavy chain, both ends of which were fast in the ring, but twelve inches above the fastening of one end the chain had been nearly cut in two. As the chain is made of silver wire over an eighth of an inch thick, it must have taken a heavy blow of a sharp instrument to divide it. The outside of the watch , was once finely engraved, but on the ■ side which lay uppermost the design can- ; not be deciphered, as the action of the water has nearly smoothed the plate. The under side shows the engraving perfectly. On the face ot the watch un der the hands, in small letters is printed, "John Bowles, Horologer to his Majesty, 198 Thread needle street. London." On the inside of the outer case is engraved: "Presented to Joshua Armstrong on his twenty-first birthday by his loving mother, Prudence Armstrong, April 10, 1020." The watch was found beside an old musket, which bore evidence of hav ing been broken in a hand-to-hand struggle. Whether these relics mark the scene ol au accident or tragedy cun never be known. They were found near a once famous hunting ground of the In dians.—[Sau Francisco Examiner, Self-Defense. The following suggestive little dia logue appears in the Home Companion.

Funny, isn't it, how some people prefer sickness to health when the remedy is positive and the guarantee absolute. Wise men don't put money back of " fakes." And " faking " doesn't pay.
