Why a NATIONAL BANK is Best
4.
A National Hank is under the supervision of tho
United States Government.
Laws governing National Hanks are very strict.
They are required to submit to tjhc government a
sworn detailed statement FT VI: TIMKS a year.
The stockholders are held responsible for D0Um.il
the amount of their stock. This is for the benefit ot
the depositors.
The capital stock is required to be mud in cash, and
must be held intact for the benefit of the depositors.
The Hank is required each year to add to its surplus
account before declaring dividends. This is tor the
further security of the depositors.
A National Hank cannot loan more than 10 per cent,
of its capital to one man or firm.
The Concord National Bank

ANCIENT AND MODERN CRUELTY.
Ki'v. K. II Wliil.iki-r. in New ami Observer.
While up a tree tying the rope to
hang the murderers of the Lyerly
family, 1 see it stated that a man
struck a match and lighted a ciga
rette, as eooly as if he had been pre
paring to read a newspaper. That
was a very strange sight, and to read
of such conduct makes one think that
human nature is about as bad and
just as cruel as it used to be.
1 don't know whether or not Jael,
lleber's wife, smoked her pipe1 the
day she killed Sisera, but she cer
tainly acted quite as cruelly toward
Sisera as the fellow up the tree did
toward the negroes he was preparing
to hang. I suppose it was all right
to kill Sisera, because he was the
leader of the Gentiles against Israel,
but 1 never X- think that Jael de
served much credit for the way she
c impassed his death. It is true it
was a woman's war, for Barak, son
of Abinoam, although called to lead
in the light, declared he would not
go unless Deborah went with him.
She agreed to do so. but told him, in
advance, that the honor of the vic
tory which would le achieved, would
not be for him, but that the Lord
would sell Sisera to Jael. And so it
turned out. When the battle went
against Sisera and he tied to the tent
A Jael, the wife of Heler the Ke
nitelfor there was ieaee between
Jahin. Kingof Canaan, and the house
of Heber the Kenite). he expected,
of course, in consequence of that
friendly condition that Jael would
UTriend him. And, from the way
she received him into her tent, he
was sure of her friendship. .
The sacred writer thus records the
ijjrident :
"And Jael went out to meet Sisera,
and said unto him, turn in my lord,
turn in to me : fear not. And when
he had turned in unto her, into the
tent, she covered him with a mantle.
And he said unto her, give me, 1
pray thee, a little water to drink, for
I am thirsly. And she opened a bot
tle of milk, and gave him drink, and
covered him."
That was very womanly, and hav
ing been thus ministered unto Sisera
had a right to believe that she was
a friend ; hence he said to her, as he
laid down to rest. "Stand in the door
of the tent, and it shall l when any
man doth come and enquire of thee,
and say. is there any man here? that
thou shall say. No."
He thought he was safe, for he had
no doubt but that a woman who had
shnwn so much concern for him was
truly a friend. Confiding in that
supposed friendship, and loing weary
fr.nn the day's fatigue, he fell asleep.
Then Jael. who had said fear not,
and in whom he had trusted, and
with a cat-like tread sought a ham
mer and a nail, and going softly un
to him drove the nail through the
sleeping man's head, fastening it to
the ground.
When Hrak came running jn pur
suit of Sisera Jael ran out to meet
him,' and carrying him into her tent,
showed him the dead man whose
head was still spiked to the ground.
The inspired historian thus sums
up the result of that day's battle,
and the tragic death of Sisera : "So
God subdued on that day Jabin the
King of Canaan before the children
of Israel." From which statement
we must infer that Jael's treachery
and cruelty were endorsed.
They were very cruel in the olden
times. Putting a prisoner to death
would not now te tolerated in a
Christian country; yet Samuel, in
his anger hewed Agag in pieces as if,
instead of a human being, he had
been a bramble; and Adoni-Bezek,
, when captured by Judah and Simeon
had his thumbs and great toes cut
on', which was none too hard on him,
as he had, before his own capture,
deprived three score and ten kings
of their thumbs and great toes, and
made them to cat meat under his ta
ble like dogs.

OPEN PUBLICITY THE BEST
GUARANTY OF MERIT.
'Whon tho maker of a medicine, sold
through drugalsts for family uso, takes
hU patients fully into his confidence by
frankly and fcarlssly publishing broad
cast as woll as on its Untie wrappers,
a full list, of all Its Ingredients in plain
English, this action on his part is the
best possible evidence that he I not
afraid to have the search light of inves
tigation turned full upon his formula
and that it will bear the fullest scrutiny
and the most thorough Investigation.
Dr. Pierce's Kavorite iTescriptlon for the
cure of the weaknesses, periodical pains
and functional derangements of the or
gans distinctly femiino, is the only medi
cine put up for sale through druggists for
woman's special use, he maker of which
Is not afraid to take his patients into
his full confidence by such open and
honest publicity.
A glance at the published ingredients
on each bottle wrapper, will show that it
is made wholly from native, American,
medicinal roots, that it contains no poi
sonous or habit-forming drugs, no nar
cotics and no alcohol pure, tn pie-refined
glycerine, of proper strength U-!ug used
in-tenrl of the commonly employed aleo:
hoi, both for extracting and preoervinn
the active iuodiLinal properties found in
the roots of the American forest plants
employed. It is tho only medicine for
women's pecular diseases, sold by drug
gists, that docs not contain a large per
centage oi alcotioi, wincii ib in tne long
run so harmful to woman's delicate, nerv
ous sv.stem. Now. irlvcerlne is uerfectlv
harmless, and serves a valuable purpose
by pos-osslng Intrinsic value all Its own,
and U'-ides it enhances the curative
effect of the other ingredients entering
Into the "l avorite Prescription."
Some of the ablest medical writers and
teachers endorse these views and praise
all the several Ingn-dients of which " Fa
vorite Prescription" is composi-d rec
omtnending them for the cure of tho
very same diseases for which this world
famed medicine is advised. No other
medicine for women has anv such prrt
ftssimuil endorsement worth more tiian
any number of ordinary testimonials. If
interested, send name and address to Dr
K. V. Pierce. HufTalo, N. Y., for his little
book of extracts from the works of
eminent medical writers and teachers,
endorsing the several Ingredients ana
telling iust what Dr. Pierce's medicines
are made of. It's Jrce for the asking.
The most cruel incident in history
is recorded in the Apocryphia, it
having occurred in the time of Anti
ochus Kpiphanes, when the Jews
were being persecuted and the tem
ple was filled with all manner of pro
fanations. The account is thus writ
ten in the second chapter of Macca
bees :
"And it came to pass that seven
brethren with their mother, were
taken, and required by the King to
eat swine's flesh, or be tormented
with scourges and whips. But one
of them s lid we are ready to die
rather than to transgress the laws
of our fathers. Then the King, be
ing in a rage, commanded that pans
and cauldrons be made hot ; then
commanded he that the tongue of
him that spoke first be cut out, and
the utmost parts of his body be cut
off, the rest of his brethren and his
"mother looking on ; and when maim
ed in all his members, and being yet
alive, the King commanded that he
be fried in a pan. So when the first
was dead, they brought a second,
and when they had pulled off the
skin of his head, they asked h:m,
Wilt thou eat before thou be pun
ished throughout every member of
thy body? He answered no, where
fore he re eived the next torment in
order, as the first did. And then all
the seven sons were - tormented and
fried ; and the King being enraged,
had the mother also put to death."
It is useless to speak of the perse
cution of the early Christians, under
Nero and other wicked rulers ; of
the Inquisition and the burning of
Godly men at the stake, for all the
school children are, or ought to be,
familiar with the history of those
cruelties.
Hut it is very important that we
should familiarize ourselves with the
fact that unrestrained human nature
if just as cruel now as it ever was,
and to realize the truth of this state
ment, that but for tho influence of
the gospel in the world, frying pans,
inquisitions and stakes would be no
uncommon things.
The lynching business, wherever
practiced, i's an evidence cf a de
praved and very barbarous human
nature, that is more to lie dreaded
in a comminiity than ferocious wi-ld
lieasts. For the safety of the inno
cent, who may le victimized by the
mob, a.- well as for the sake of de
cency and good order, lynching
should never occur in a land of laws
and courts of justice, a land of Sun
day schools, churches and Christian
teaching. .
Hawaiian Mission Teachers.
.1 Y hi;;r;un hi charlotte Oliserwr
Time is too limited to elaborate
the history of ltingham, Thurston,
Whitney, Lyon, Judd, Damon, Coan.
Culic Armstrong and other members
of the American mission workers
who rounded Cape Horn in a sailing
hip in lS'Jl, landed at Honolulu,
(when the Hawaiians were in semi-
harbarism, worshipping volcanic
storms and sea gods) set up there a
printing press and founded a system
of education that in 30 ye' -s elevated
a benighted race from savagery into
an intelligent civilization, with school
houses and chapels studding the
island shores with a girdle of en
lightenment. Nor does time admit
of the heroic history of the Hawaiian
native educators trained in the Hon
olulu mission schools, who in the lit
tle mission schooner, Morning Star,
in lSo-2, sailed away over the sea to
island groups below the equatorial
line, carried the torch of letters
amongst degraded cannibals, erected
school houses and started a work of
education amongst the Polynesian
archipelagoes that in after years es
tablished civilization, civil govern
ment and commerce throughout
Oceanica and made havens of shelter
for ship-wrecked mariners, where
years petore sea wairs nau oeen
served up to cannibal feasts.
MARRIAGEABLE AGES.
In Austriaa "man" and "woman"
are considered to be capable of con
ducting a home of their own fmrn
the age of fourteen- a fact which
accounts in no small degree for the
spirit of "child fatherhood of the
man" so prevalent m Austria.
In Germany the man must be eigh
teen years of age, hut the age of the
bride-elect is left to popular discre
tion. In France the man must be eigh
teen and the woman fifteen, while in
Belgium the same standard prevails.
In Spain the intending husband
must have passed his fourteenth year
and the woman her twelfth. These
figures, in connection with the-admitted
poverty of Spain, socially
considered, are full of the deepest
meaning.
In Hungary for. Roman Cat holies
the man must be fourteen years old
and the womarr tw.elve ; for Protes
tants the man must be eighteen and
the woman fifteen.
In Greece the man must have seen
at least fourteen summers arid the
woman twelve.
In Portugal a boy of fourteen i
considered marriageable and a wo
man at twelve.
In Russia and -Saxony they are a
little more sensible, for in both coun
tries a youth must refrain from mat
rimony till he can count eighteen
years and the woman sixteen.
In Switzerland the men from the
age of fourteen and the woman from
the age of twelve are allowed to
marry.
In Turkey any youth and maiden
who can walk projierly and can un
derstand the necessary religious er
vice are allowed to be united for life.
To go futher afield, mere children
of ten, nine and even eight years of
age are, by Inidan custom, often
married. This applies tn the girl
only, although native boys of from
twelve to fourteen become hu.-bands
and the nominal heads of households.
In China, too, the custom j, nearly
as senseless. Hoys and girls u ho
ought to be on the school-bench or
Play ing battledore and shuttlecock

It is curious to note that the "mar
riageable age" standard increase.- in
cold or temperate latitudes and that
the lowest point is touched in tropic
latitudes, lack of civilization ai.-o
having much to do with it.

THE RAILROAD RATE ACT
niit If- i oinpaiiiiin.
Judged by any standard, the rail-,
road rate act is the most important
single piece of legislation passed by
anv recent Congress. The Interstate
Commerce Commission, which will
administer the law, is enlarged, the
term of the members is extended to
seven years, and the comjcnsation is.
increased.
The meaning of the term "common
carrier" is extended to include ex
press companies, and the meaning of
"transportation" to include private
car lines and elevators which are in
struments in tranportation.
I 'pon complaint of a shipper, and
aftey- a full hearing, the commission
may fix a maximum freight rat.' in
t lie case under consideration. That
rate will take effect in thirty day
after it is promulgated, and will re
main in effect two years, unit ss soon
modified by the commission or set
aside by the courts, to which the rail
roads or other common carrii r.s may
appeal.
Common carriers must furnish
t ransportation facilities to all alike
d:-crimination. Their rates must be
conspicuously posted along the lines:
and filed with the commission as!
public documents. Copies of all con
tracts with other carriers must also
be filed with the commission.
The giving or receiving of a rebate
or discrimination is absolutely pro
hibited. A violation of this provision,
or of any one of those already men
tioned, is punishable by extiimely
heavy tines. f which imprisonment
may be added.' .
Another 'important provision of
the act is that wich makes the bwoks
and records of the railroads at all
times accessible to the commission,
and puni.-hos. by heavy penalties,
any false entries or mutilation.
Regarded as a whole, the act takes
an exceedingly broad view of the
duties of railroads and other com
mon carriers toward the puHic. and
of the public's right to control them,
and it should go a long way toward
removing the evils of favoritism and
rate di-criminatum of which there
ha- been so much complaint.

A young New Yorker had made
his first ascent in his new air-ship,
under instruction from a profession
al aeronaut. After an hour's gyra
tions, his car came tumbling to the
ground. When he was picked up and
found to be not much hurt, the pro
fessional demanded to know what
was wrong.
"Why did you not throw over the
sand and save yourself?" he asked.
"I did the whole ten pounds of
it."
"Well, then, why did you not sac
rifice the sandwiches you were car-,
rying?"
"I did, Mr. Smith," sobbed the
jarred young, balloonist, "1 knew
they were extra weight, so as soon
as the car started down I ate every

after exchanging family solicitudes
for several moments, the Judge asked

She must be rather feeble now. Tell

"Buried her yesterday," said the

"Yes, that's why we buried her,"
