This Species Is the Only Deer That Can Be Easily Reared in Captivity Industry Created. , Both Napoleon I. and III.- had extraordinary powers of memory. It is said of the first that he could i repeat the names of his fullest regiment, having heard - the list but once read. Later in life, dis covering one of his old soldiers in a certain stonecutter, he was able to tell at once the rank he held in the army, the exact corps and reg iment he -belonged to, where he had served and the individual character he had borne for brav ery. Seneca complained of old age when he could not, as formerly, repeat 2,000 words in the order in which they were read. The Dru ids taught their whole circle of sciences in 20,000 verses, which students were called upon to com mit to memory, a task frequently taking 20 years. It is related of Wiegis, a Ger man violinist, that upon the dis covery that the score of a certain .valuable opera had been lost he volunteered to write it from mem ory. This he successfully did, to the nicest details, and was paid a handsome sum of money. Upon many occasions Wiegis accurate ly performed his part at the opera ,when he was so intoxicated as to make it necessary to provide him with his instrument and adjust it Ito his hands. Itacine could recite all the trag edies of Earipedes. Lord Gran ville repeated the New Testament, from beginning to end, in the original Greek, and Cooke, the tragedian, is said to have commit ted to memory all the contents of a large daily newspaper. Strazniky was said to know the name and place of every one of the 100,000 volumes of the Astor li brary. The same was said of the old librarian, Magliabechi, who, .besides knowing the name of every book of his vast library, could re peat the contents of a great num ber of them, and could tell any in quirer not only what book would best satisfy his wishes, but th chapter and page where the de sired data could be fouid. Mirandola would commit to . memory the contents of a book by reading it three times over and could frequently repeat the words backward as well as forward. Thomas Crammer is said to have committed to memory in three months an entire translation of the Bible, and Leibnitz, when an old man, could recite the whole of .Virgil word for word. Lastly, Bossuet could' repeat not only the whole Bible, but all of -Homer, Virgil and Horace, be bm!?? rr-rr other- ro! ?. Elk arc successfully domesti cated in the eastern states, says Country Life in America. In fact, they are the only deer that can be easily reared in captivity in prac tically any climate. They will live I without shelter, and can subsist on a hardy diet of bark and twigs during the severe winter, when the domestic animals would not survive. They are prolific and their young thrive. All this rais es a question, of considerable eco nomic importance. The pilgrims when they landed on Plymouth rock found elk at home in New England down to tidewater. Why not make use of the waste land of the east again, rehabilitate it with elk that can, ff necessary, find sustenance winter and sum mer on the barren pastures of the abandoned farms, and thus create a new industry of raising elk for profit? According to Prof. Wil liam T. Hornaday, who, of all au thorities in America, could per haps speak with the most weight on this subject, there is no doubt ! that an industry of raising elk in New England may be created, provided only that there is a mar ket for elk venison at a higher price than beef sav. 50 cents a pound retail. , - PULPIT MOVES BY A RAIL. Preacher's Edifice Moves About Church and Returns to Position at End of Sermon. Movable pulpits can be found in various churches throughout the country, but the movable pul pit recently presented to St. Paul's, Cheltenham, is the only one worked by machinery. A tramway, 18 feet in length, has been laid down in the chancel, and immediately before the ser mon the pulpit and its staircase move along it slowly, noiselessly, and almost mysteriously, and take up a prominent position, re turning to the original position beside the organ at the conclu sion of the preacher's discourse. There is 30 feet of wire rope appa ratus employed, the structure be ing caused to move on what is known as the "spindle" principle. The innovation, striking as it is, is a most convenient one, the preacher being able toaddress his congregation practically in fuli new of everyone. The pulpit is lighted by electricity from the in side, the coils conveying the cur rent being paid out as it moves. ens! "An overdraft arises wben a customer of a bank draws therefrom more money than is standing to his credit in bis account with the bank." 21 Am. & Eng. Fnc. Law, 1023. A .-' customer has a perfect right to draw all of his balance at any time, but no more." "A bark has ro ripbtto allow its deposit ors tr overdraw, and thus pay out ufor their checV? the moneys of other depositors prd of stockholders of the bark." 3 Am. 8- Frg. Enc.-'L. 834. 17 Am. St. Kp. 377-384. Cnl ver vs. Marks. 'Trowing a check upon a bark ir which the drawer has no fords, erd utterirg it, is a fraud, both on the person to whom it is ne gotiated and on the bank on which it may be drawn"; Boone on Banking Sec. 197. The Court said in Peterson s. Union Natioral Bank, "It is manifestly impossible for the officers of a bank to keep ever in memory the state of each depositor's account. To a cer tain extent, confidence is reposed in the de- ", positor that he will not present for payment a check which he has not provided funds to meet, and the abuse of that confidence is dis honest." The court further said: "It is not easy to see how it is less dishonest in the holder of a check drawn by another to pre sent it for payment when he knows the draw- . er has no funds in the bank to meet it. " His knowledge makes him a party to the fraud . of the drawer, and he becomes a willing assistant therein." 52 Penn. State Reports " page 206-91 Am. Dec. 147, Peterson vs. Un- -ion National Bank. "And the practice of paying overdrafts is said to have no authority in sound usage or in law"; Boone on Banking, Sec. 197. The courts further say: ."The absence "of deposits was a sufficient notice not to pay the check, for checks are always supposed to be drawn on a previous deposit of funds"; Story on Prom. Notes, 641. "Such is the usual course of business, and the very wide departure from it, by the bank, in paying this overdue check out of other funds than those of the drawer, cannot be justified. It was attempted to prove a custom to pay over drafts of solvent dealers with banks, but it failed; and if it had not failed, such a custom should be abolished. Our banking institu tions are generally conducted by boards of directors, to whom stockholders look for the proper use and management of the capital invested." "If subordinate officers and clerks pay checks, which are properly drafts on funds deposited, when there were no funds of the drawer on deposit, the capital of banks would be liable to perversion to purposes and in modes that were never contemplated, either by the legislature or the stockholders. That tV- T-rpct'co oTpvirg overd-ra0 hps pre veiVd o some ex-tent is quite likelv; and it . tr-- trpp that boards of. directors have in some 'ntprces sanctioned it: but it has no authritv if sound uspp-f or ?r law.

Tt is immaterial whether it is pp;d out on a rheck or not. Tf the drawer of the check hps no funds, the teller is under no prepter r hlipation" to pav than if it were a mere verba' reouest. The overdrawing and the pavtrent of the check overdrawn are both, wrongful acts. If in such case the monev of a bank has been mis appropriated bv its cashier, without the knowled.ee or consent of its officers, there is . neither law, nor equity in permitting the re cipient to retain what he has received with out right. The plaintiff may consequently recover the amount shown to baye been overdrawn." 39 Maine. 489. Franklin Bank vs. Byram; 63 Am. Dec. 644. These solemn announcements made by the courts in all parts of the United States, and under all circumstances practically the same wherever the subject came up, are submitted, t because it is common for bank customers to ask permission to overdraw their accounts, and it is difficult to explain to a customer's mind why he should not overdraw. On the other hand when the customer can read it, as above written, in the exact lan guage delivered by the courts and judges on the bench while performing their solemn official duty, it will certainly convince him why he should not ask to overdraw his ac count with the bank. The customer should not ask the bank to overdraw or to grant some privilege which cannot be extended to all. To allow free overchecking would be ruinous. If the customer has not sufficient funds to deposit to meet the requirements of his business, he should apply to the bank for a loan, and arrange a credit with the bank upon proper security so that the amount agreed upon can be entered as a deposit to his credit.

John Mac Gregor, in writing of a bird-nesting experience he had in Borneo, says : "Off we went with about a dozen Dyaks, as the little bronze aborigines of this part of Borneo are 'called, for guides. The en-! trance to the cave was so small J and so elevated that I had some difficulty in reaching it. After we had traveled for some little distance we came across the in evitable stream. The ground, which was to a great extent com posed of the bed of the stream, was rough and 'irregular. We were lighted on our way by torch es carried by our Dyak guides. At last we came to a passage that seemed a veritable eye of a needle, so hard it was to enter, for it looked so narrow and confined that I despaired of ever getting through it. When I fairly got squeezed into the breach I could force myself neither upward nor downward for that was the di rection of the passage and there I was, suspended like Moham med's coffin or a trussed fowl. By dint of wriggling, however, I at . last found myself at the top of the passage, minus a certain amount of skin and some buttons from my tight-fitting khaki coat. "Still on we jogged for the best part of a mile, when, lo and be hold! the caves in which the birds were breeding, and which were to be the limits of our underground wanderings? A faint glimmer of light could be seen through a rift in the rocks far above us, and it was through this small rift, which was a sealed passage even to the pyaks themselves, that the birds passed in their journeys to and from their nesting grounds. Our arrival, of course, disturbed what ever birds'" were there, and they disappeared as bestthey could : ly specters. "These peculiar nests are built by a species of swallow. The nests consist of v shallow, cup shaped cavities, truncated at one side, where they are attached to the rocks like brackets to a wall and forming something like a two-thirds segment of a circle. It is' not always easy to get at them, as they are sometimes glued to the perpendicular sides of the solid rocks high overhead, so that the nest hunters have to scale these cracks with ropes and poles to get at them. In substance they con sist of an elastic, semitransparent mucilaginous material, which is said to be a secretion, ormacerat edfood, from the crops of the birds themselves. "As robbing these nests for commercial'purposes forms a part of the Dyaks' means of livelihood, the birds have frequently to build twice or even .three times during the season before they are able to hatch their offspring, and it is noted that each successive crop of nests deteriorates in both con struction and composition. The nests built at the beginning of the season are bright and transpar ent, and are consequently known on the market as 'white nests.' But when they are robbed the next crop is not nearly so pure in substance." - white teaching and example. Anxious to learn all I could about the marriage customs of the people, says the author, I asked one of my friends : "How many wives have you?" . "Three," said he. "How did you get them'?'1 "Well, I gave a horse for the first one. She was not very good looking, so I got her for one horse Th& second one was good looking and a good cook, so I paid two horses for her.- The third was a beauty. She was a good cook and she had a fine disposition; I gave three horses and a gun and a sad die for her. She was a beauty!" After narrating this in a busi nesslike tasnion ne turned to me and said: "ApawrJ"??. how many horses did you pay for her?" "Apawakas" is the Indian name of my wife. It means White Ante lope. I was rather taken aback to have the tables turned upon me so quickly, but determined to make the best of the situation, so I proceeded to tell the Indian the wlntf man's method of ohtammj? a wife. A.f terward the explanation was given of setting up housekeeping, and I. told him that the mother-m law provided pillows, blankets, and many of the necessary things for the house. When this point was reached the red men could not restrain their laughter any longer. They shook with amusement at the istrange customs of the white men After they were able to control themselves, one of them said: "They paid you for taking her!"
