The United States- bank was the bon of contention during Andrew Jackson's administration as president. It had been chartered in 1816 for twenty years. After a struggle with congress and with his secretary of the treasury. Uuane, who would not remove the national deposits from the bank, Jackson dismissed Duane and appointed Taney secretary of the treasury. The deposits ceased. The senate at once passed a vote of censure on the president, but the house, after investigating the bank, sustained Jackson at every point, and refused a new charter. The fight with the senate, in which there was an adverse majority, continued until the end of Jaekson'3 term.

Divisions of Wealth. The annual product or earnings of the nation are given by the census as $8,500,000,000. One-tenth of this is used on farms. The product is very unevenly divided. An even division would give about $450 per year to each earner, or less than 45 cents per day for each person. But it has been reckoned that in 1SS0 fifty persons had an average income of $1,000,000 each per year; 2,000, $100,000; 100,000, $10,000; a million, $1,000; 14,000,000 under $400 per year.

EASTER IS AN OLD FEAST. The; Chinese Had a Spring Festival 2,500 Years Ago. Few peonle have any idea that the originals of the many colored "eggs" which are now being distributed as

Easter gifts have probably descended to U3 from ths greatest of the "Chinese spring festivals," and can boast of an antiquity of more than 700 years before the Christian era. So there appears to be no new thing under the sun; and, although the magic eggs of today are merely receptacles for a nondescript medley of bon-bons and bijoutere, they are a survival of one of the quaintest of old world customs. This practical method of disposing of Easter ecrgs suggests that much of the ceremony connected with them is due to the celebration of the Easter feast, which succeeds the Lenten fast. That "an egg at Easter" is a very old proverb in this country is sufficiently shown by the fact that the pope sent Henry VIII. an Easter egg in a silver case; while an exact schedule of the personal expenses of Edward I. contains, against Easter Sunday, the suggestive item: "Four hundred and a half eggs, Is Cd." The price is as noteworthy as the number. Bui the most remarkable feature of the usage is its international character. Thus in Russia it is customary to exchange visits and eggs on Easter day and "to drink a deal of brandy." Again, in Italy, dishes of eggs are sent to the priests to be blessed, after which they are carried home and placed in the center of the table. It is the correct thing for all the guests to eat one of them. The custom also exists in Spain and Germany, says the Home Journal, and generally among the Hebrews, Greeks and Persians in soma form or another. BURIED TREASURE. An 03tl Xogro Plows Up a Tile of Carious Bloney. Mr. E. M. Bass, of the well known house of E. M. Bass & Co., is counting a pile of Mexican and Spanish coins and trying to decipher the various descriptions and peculiar marks on them. Mr. Bass and his brother own a farm near Carrollton, and Friday the money was plowed up in the field by an old negro farm hand. The coins had been buried for years near the stump of an old tree, and their discovery was entirely accidental. The old man's plow turned one of the pieces of money out of the ground' and a little work resulted in the finding of over $100. The coin must have been buried fifty or more years ago, for the most recent date on any of the pieces is 1838. The oldest of the coins is a Spanish 25 cent piece, which bears the date of 1746. Many of the smaller coins have holes punched in them and look as if they had been worn strung around the neck of some person. The coins were brought to Atlanta yesterday by Mr. Bass' brother and given to him to dispose of. The old man who found them promptly reported it to Mr. Bass, who says he intends to give, the proceeds of their sale to him, says the Atlanta Constitution. Many of the coins are very quaint. ,and there is no doubt many a collector of such things that would be delighted to get hold of them. MAILING A STAMP. How It Can Be Done Without Trouble or Discomfort. How many people know how to mail a stamp in a letter? Nine people out of ten stick it so carefully down that the recipient always loses his temper, and generally the stamp, in the effort to release it. It is really more exasperating than when the sender forgets altogether the stamp he should have enclosed, for then, at least, it is not wasted. Even the most extravagant of us seldom have souls above saving a stamp, for it is, strangely, far dearer to us than the two cents it represents. The tenth person sends it loose, which is well enough, providing it does not slip out unseen and vanish, a3 these totally depraved small things have a habit of doing. The proper way is a simple one. Cut with a sharp penknife two parallel slits at the top of your letter and slip in your stamps, which will then travel as safely as if in a special paper case. Perhaps you have been in a country village where money orders and postal notes are unknown, and for some reason it becomes necessary to send change in a letter. Cut a piece of light cardboard the size of the envelope, and from this cut circular pieces the size of your coins. Insert the coins and paste a slip of paper across one or both sides. New Consumption Cure. United State3 Consul Gen. de Kay, at Berlin, reports that a New York doctor ha3 discovered the means of curing consumption, lupus, and perhaps cancer. The doctor announces in the German medical papers an extraordinary action of minute injections of pilocarpine, a crystalized extract from the Brazilian jaborandi plant, on the lymphatic system. This, in a sense, completes the celebrated "heil serum," acting favorably on patients whom tha serum does not cure. The key of the discovery is tlm: By successive injections of minute doses of pilocarpine in the veins he arrives at a gradual stimulation of the lymphatic system. That system increases the white corpuscles in the blood which, in some way not agreed upon, certainly overcomes particles in the blood that produce disease. The report closes with a statement of a case of lupus of twenty-two years' duration, regarded as incurable, which was relieved immediately after the first injection, and is now almost cured. t It is injurious to bathe within two J hours of any meal. 1

! WOMAN AND KENNEL.

CLUCS FOR LADIES THE CAGE IN ENGLAND. Probability That It Will Extend to This Country In the Near Future Immense Success of English, Ladies' Kennel Club. (New York Correspondence.) HE LADIES' KENnel association, organised last year in England, is the direct outcome of a movement among exhibitors of the fair sex to obtain rights and privileges that in the hurry and bustle of the ordinary do? show they were denied. The movement was gradual in Its Incepti m, but eventually, after several informal gatherings such as delight the soul of woman, definite action was taken early in October, J 89 1, through the efforts of the present secretary, Mrs. A. Stenaru Robinson, Hiss Darbishire and other well-known ex- ' hibitors. Primarily, the idea was to ! form an nociation that, as an assoeiation, would be in a position to demand I :ertain p.iviloges at dog shows denied :o the individual exhibitor. They ' sished for better classification and MRS. ROBINSON. prizes for pet dogs, such as pugs, toy spaniels. Pomeranians and so forth; they also asked for separate entrances and exits to dog shows for ladies, and those who have had to wait around the entrance of an important dog show will understand the annoyances and in convenience a woman suffers who has to wait her turn in a bustling crowd of show attendants, dog handlers and self ish male exhibitors. Picture to one's self a woman leading a horse into Madison Square Garden among a crowd of grooms and the idea is Illustrated. There were also certain abuses in the kennel world which these fair exhibitors thought by concerted action they could remedy. The average woman bred and born to country life in England is more or less imbued with a love for sport in softie form or other, and many hours which would otherwise be devoted to ennui are given to the care of pets, of which dogs form the greater portion. Their fathers or brothers are exhibitors of stock horses, cattle, dogs, poultry, of what not, even guinea pigs, known as calves in the language of the initiated and they are quickly imbued with the competitive spirit. And, therefore, if they own a good dog they wish others to know it, and so enter it at a show. Still, there are objectionable features in the . average dog show from which a refined woman naturally shrinks, and many dog owners In England, and America, too, have been content to let their dogs stay at home. The Ladles' Kennel association, however, has served the purpose already of drawing those one-dog women to the light. I The association during the first six months of its existence has made wonderful progress; its membership list is larger than that of any similar club, and it now issues a monthly journal devoted to dogs and to the Interest of women exhibitors. But the movement through which the club has made itself particularly prominent Is that In regard to cropping dogs' ears, the recent action in which a man was sentenced to prison for indulging in this cruel practice having been brought about by the club's efforts. The agitation resulting from this action has caused the English Kennel club, the governing body in English kenneldom, to make a rule whereby dogs born after a certain date next must be shown with their ears au naturel. One would imagine that this was glory enough for one year, but the club does not intend to rest on its oars, but will hold a grand show at the swell Ranelagh club in London, early in June. Mention of the principal business discussed at the last general meeting of the club will serve to show the scope of the club's intended influence. Two memorials were drawn up one against MISS DARBY SHIRR, raxation of dogs and the other against the railway tariff of charges for transportation of dogs to and from exhibitions. ince then the club has passed i rule that no member shall be allowed to win prizes with dogs that are not registered with the English Kennel club ts owned by the exhibitors twenty-one lays before the show. As showing that the interest in c'ojrs (splayed by these English women is ;ot confined merely to the pet dug style j f canine I give the lollowlng names or ecent recruits to the club and the reeds they exhibit or are particularly nterested in: Mrs. Butcher, Irish terriers; Mrs. Max l?aac, Great Ii:in?s; Mrs. Arm- ; trong, Dalmatian"-, collies and old English sheep dogs: Mips E. M. Moyriek, i-ocker spanielr; the Misses Annie nnd Alison Johnr-ion. St. I'-ernr.riZs; Miss

Reoton ana Mrs. Dickson, pointers and setters; Mrs. Bryan Hayrnes, c-hou chous and bloodhounds; Miss Ann:) Head, Russian wolfhounds and J3em-;i terriers; Miss M. Hunting, dachshund.! and old English sheep dogs; Mrs. SluTIleld, pugs; Mrs. Charles Cockburn ami Miss Robson, Pomeranians; Mrs. Pringle and Miss Corel!!, Yorkshires; Mir.. Tidman. toy spaniels; Miss Langworthy, Newfoundlands; Miss S. Smith. St. Bernards; and Mrs. James Clark. Dandle Dlnmonts. The formation of th? club and Itgrowing importance have led Americans to agitate a similar movement in New York, and, judging by the int -r-views published recently, there is evidently a general opinion among vom-: who love dogs that a similar club v.ii: bo formed. I am afraid, however, tlm even if an American Ladies'- Kem; association is organized it wi!1.8cnreel partake, in the very nature of thl-im-canine over hero, of the practical 'importance of the English club. Exhlt.Uors are so many and shows so frequent in England that Interest in kennel; affairs never lags. Here our shows in: annual affairs creating only a passin;interest while they are being held, r.:e then are only fitfully alluded to dining the rest of the year. A ladies' tvn nel club would, hov.wer, serve t bring out a number of dogs whose own ers would not exhibit under other a:n" ordinary circumstances, and, when it i. seen by the general public that wouk i in society are willing and anxious it lend themselves to such an enterprise as a dog show for charity, dogs will become even more popular than they are now. Mrs. Rabinson's, the secretary of ti.e English club, suggestion that an International kennc-I association be formed is scarcely practical, the conditions in the two countries being so different. Still, a great deal of good can be dun by a ladles kennel club in this country if the organization and conduct of sw'.-i a club are deputed to some one who is acquainted with the practical side of dogdom in America. I would suggest that a meeting 1-" called, and these ladies who have already expressed their views on the subject be specially invited to attend a . ; take such steps as will result in a pro;--. organization. There are many wortlr,

objects which such a club can further. Lost dogs may be recovered and dog theives properly punished; drinking troughs could be placed in different parts of the city; Informal dog shows might be held where members could assemble with their dogs, and, inviting some expert dog judge to point out the good and bad features of the do;js. MRS. BUTCHER, much valuable and interesting information could be learned about man's best friend. H. W. LACY. COLONIES FOR THE WEST. Surplus Population of tho East to Settle on Arid Western Lands. It has been years since the cry of "Westward, ho!" has been heard in the eastern states, and meantime the cities and thriving manufacturing centers east of the Mississippi have been rapidly filling to the point of overcrowding, until labor is a drug on the market. Mining, which attracted so many hundreds of people from the east many years ago, has lost its glamor, hunting and trapping has too many devotees already to encourage more to enter this life to-day, granger life on the western scale requires too much capital and the too plentiful foreclosure of western farm mortgages has been discouraging to those who may have been considering emigration. All these things have tended to stagnate the population of the east, and the result is alarming to all concerned, capital and labor alike. An opportunity has presented itself at last, through what Is known as the Carey law, passed by the Fifty-third congress, by which each of the eight western states was granted 1,000,000 acres of arid lands located within their borders on condition that they utilize them for agriculture, through irriga tion, and prove to the secretary of the interior that their irrigation plans are feasible. Five of the eight states have accepted the proposition, and one more is expected to reply favorably before long. The national irrigation congress. a body composed or delegates rrom twenty-three western states, has appointed a national irrigation commis sion, which body i3 engaged in forming colonies to take up these arid lands and carry them on by irrigation under proper and scientific direction. Some of the details ot tne scneme are given in the Boston Transcript. It is the purpose of the commission to form colonial clubs throughout the east, wherever there is a congestion of population, and thesa clubs will disseminate information con cerning the present and future possibilities of the western country. It is not intended to send out separate fami lies, which would certainly become entangled in difficulties, if not properly directed. Whole colonies are to be organized and dispatched to favorable localities, with men competent to teach them the solution of the problem of irrigation and agriculture. These coloJ nists it Is proposed to organize on the principles upon which the successful Mormon colonies were carried on. An j organization, to be known as the Plym- I outh Colony, is now being formed to j take up lands in Idaho. Each member j of this colony is to furnish $1,000 capital. Tho land Is to be taken in small holdings, and the whole managed on the basis of a co-operative village. Advice for Uotty Urc:i. Hetty Green i.; epigramatlc.

CENTRIFUGAL FORCE. Some Figures Which Will Interest Industrial Workers. An account is given In the Mechanics' World, London, of certain experiments with centrifugal pumps, which are of special interest in hydraulics. A pump was employed, so designed that the discharge through the wheel casing was taken through a narrow orifice extending around the entire circumference of the casing, this orifice gradually widening outward, to allow the water to arrive without shock in a spiral collector surrounding the pump and leading Into the discharge pipe the width of the orifice being such as to give the required flow at the velocity due to the head against the pump, with an allowance of 0.6 for contraction; the maximum mechanical efficiency of the pump was found to be only 58 per cent, and occurred only with the greatest flowabout 5.4 gallons while the maximum efficiency for any given rate of delivery occurred when the lift was between fifty and sixty feet. Another pump was constructed with different blades and of casing, and with this pump an efficiency of 65 per cent was obtained with a discharge of 6.6 gallons under a head of 65.6 feet, and an efficiency of 68 per cent with a discharge of 7.8 gallons under a head of 32.S feet. A new dining car service between Chicago and Buffalo via the Nickel Plate Road has recently been placed at the disposal of the traveling public, which will enable patrons of this favorite low rate line to obtain all meals on trains when traveling on through trains between Chicago, New York and Boston.
