recently detected is eon ducted as follows A check say for ten dollars is obtained from a depositor at a bank and a blank check exactly like the check is secured The two checks are laid one upon the other so that the edges are exactly even Both checks arc then torn irregularly across and in such a way that the signature on the filled check appears on one piece and the and name of the payee on the other The checks having been held together while being torn of one piece of the blank check exactly fit the other piece of the filled cheek The swindler then fills in one piece of the blank check with the name of the payee and the amount to suit himself say five thousand dollars takes it with the piece of genuine check containing the signature of the bank and explains that the check was acci dentally torn The teller can put the pieces together and as they fit exactly the chances arc that he will think the pieces are par s of the same check and become a victim of the swindle The trick of course suggests its own remedy The teller should refuse to pay any check that is mutilated town she sent for her Jehu and her her eyes down its awk ward columns she paused What is this item said I

the establishment but not withstanding the deductions made at the time of buying there remained only tons of washed beet to be manufactured into sugar The yield of beets is said to average from fifteen to twenty or thirty tons per acre the beets needing no irrigation This re sult is better than the product in Ger many where the yield even with the use of fertilizers averages only twelve the acre The yield of sugar per ton here is between 300 and 150 pounds making from to pounds of sugar per acre Quite a number of cattle are usually kept in long sheds and enclosures at a distance from the

sheds ready to be manufactured into sugar They are sometimes piled up six or seven feet high The beets are thrown from the sheds into a sort of canal and arc carried by the water to the place where they are washed After being conveyed to the are cut into small pieces by a set of revolving and then the regular process of manufacture begins The molasses left by the process is not fit for table use

the country the crops the whole of atmospheric elec the of the phenomena of thunderstorms is obscure It is however very possible that some light would be thru v i upon the ques tion by a study of the frequency and severity of storms dur ing a and over a wide geographical area The German savants incline to the opinion that the increase is to be attributed to the enor increased production of smoko and steam which has taken place dur ing the last three decades But although we may admit this to extent a probable causa yet when we consider the very local character of thunderstorms we should naturally expect to find that it would follow that the neighborhood of large cities and of manufacturing districts would suffer the most severely But the statistics referred to show dis that the reverse is the case The number of storms attended by fatal results from lightning is far larger in the agricultural districts than in the towns Upon the other hand we ought to take into consideration

that up matter that loag Credits I In Europe long credits linger most in Germany one of its poorest countries and the only Turkey where more credit is Still in retail busi ness than in But even in Germany the cash system has lately been making considerably way One great obstacle to it as elsewhere is the shopkeeper He thinks the cash system to the dignity of his establishment or wanting in re spect tohis customers he believes he has a better hold on the continuance of their custom and is liable to sell more to them if they keep an account with him and he knows he can charge them a better price by reason of the dation It is usually supposed that the credit system is advantageous shopkeeper this ho may be doubted but there can be no question that the abolition of tbe system of shop credits would be an unmixed bene fit to mankind credits may lead to occasional but it is at least a means of immensely increas ing production and wealth through bringing into being bnt what practically is as use and it from hands that cannot handle it into hands that can But consumers credit carries no tage whatever unless in individual cases of temporary embarrassment for which better provision made otherwise Its general effect is to tempt the weaker sort of persons to live above their means make the rest of us pay the piper for them in the enhanced prices of all we buy One marks without regret that the course of things seems to be making for its suppression and this is not the least important of the various successive contradictions that take place in the sphere of credit in tho progress of economic Contraction of the sphere is side however of the evolution of there accom panies it an enormous growth of the facilities of credit within that sphere Poor countries are

unsightly activities Hough and cruel and ghastly things must be done in the world and pity for the individual must not B suffered to interfere with the general the most part brought about by the sacrifice of the individual Else must we go back to root eating and substan tial barbarism But the ing faculty of women comes in to soften what cannot be prevented and their pity restrains unnecessary excess of necessary suffering 1luis each faculty acts as that well worn drag without which things would go too fast but with which in exaggeration things do not go at all For rabies may be prevalent
