DECISION ON TITLES.
Ihe Word "National" Must Not lie Cued
by l'rlvate Cnrpomtlona.
One of the most important of recent
events in building and loan circles is
the decision of Comptroller Eckels, of
the treasury department, recant iliir the
style of associations doin"; business on
what is known as the "national plan."
lie holds that the use of the word "na
tional" as the part of a title or name
of an association is illegal and cites the
following statute in support of his po
sition: "All banks, except national banks,
and all persons or corporations doinjf
business as bankers, brokers, or saving;
r e
WW "IF
uomi'Tkoi.lkiI j. 11. na:iEi.s.
Institutions are prohibited from using
the word 'national' as a portion of
the title of such bank, firm, or corpora
tion, and any violation of this prohibi
tion committed after September 3, 1871),
shall liubjyct thy fjlYnn.liiiff party to a
fine of fifty dollars a day for each day
during which it is re pouted. "
The question lias been referred to
the attorney pvneral of the United

decision will tilTect u larfre percentage

the national plan.
A SIGN OF MISERY.
Abundance of OlMolote Ootd Coins In
Knalanil Has a nl AI..ulng:.
Anyone who has collected old French
or old German coins still in occasional
circulation, say the thalers of Frederick
the Great, or the forty-franc pieces of
the first Napoleon, knows that JJerlin
and Paris are not the cities to find
them in. The capitals have the latest
issues from the mint. It is cither in
remote villages or in some locality
where want asserts Itself as a factor
in outlay that the old coins come to
the monetary surface, llomburg or
lladen or Wiesbaden was the likeliest
place in which to find the debased
coiuuffe of King Frederick not lately,
but thirty years ago, when the gaming
table drew them from the stockings.
Wo at this moment n handful of gold
pieces at Monte Carlo chows a larger
area of sovereignties than a money
changer's entire till in the Palais
Uoyal. Within the last week the same
law is assert ing itself in London and
in the big cities of the north, says the
Westminster (taxette. Light gold and
obsolete gold is in brisk circulation,
and the explanation is sad enough.
Long ugo the methodical Londoner
paid into his bank all his pro-Victorian
gold, hut the poor are their own
bankers and their deposits are their
own hoards. The well-worn coins
now going about show the breaking
up of these long and earef jlly guarded
reserves. It is but one other evidence
of the wideness and the cruelty of tho
privation by which wo are uurrounded.

Prof. HARRIS'
SOLUBLE MEDICATED
Pastille
Has been cut up In a
proprietary f urm since
1878. and has been used
for vears prior to that time
m private pmctico. It Is no untried nostrum, of
doubtful reputation, but a genuine epecltic for
a very prevalent dlswiBe. Thousands of men, of
all ages, bavo at some time in life brought on
nervous debility and exhaustion, with ornante
woakneBB, by over brain work, excesses, too fre
quent Indulgence or indiscretion and vicious
habits, and It is to these that we offer a remedy
that will, by its direct action upon the seat of the
disease, stop the drain and restore the patient to
Vigorous health and strength.
Our method of introducing Prof. Harria'Pastllle
treatment Is one which commends Itself to all
seusible persons for the reason tnat we supply It
upon their judgment of its value. We ask of our
pairons nothing in the way.of expense beyond a
postal curd and a two cent postage stamp. The
postal curd to be used tn sending us their full ad
dress and the postage stump for the letter return
ing the statement of their case for which we
supply them with a question blank, to be tilled
out and an envelope addressed to ourselves for

J r ment on blank we prepare
eight days' treatment and for
JKP: ward it by mail and prepay
i jtFVAE postage thereon and along
TfiirviiriB wltn the eight days' treatment
k XiLJUUiCf we send full directions for
using. The t. entment in no way interferes with
a person's attention to business, and causes no
paiu or Inconvenience in any way.
We aro so positive that it will give perfect satis
faction that we leave the matter of sending orders
entirely with those using the free trial treatment.
Having sntlsded those sending for trial packages
of our nbllity to benefit their sexual condition we
feel that they are more largely interested than
ourselves in continuing the use of the Pastilles.
Even then wo do notattemptto rob them by de
manding high prices. On the contrary, we make
the prices as low as possible, and the same to all.
They are as follows: 13 for one month.; $6 for
two months; t7 for three months.
These prices secure
the delivery of the
Pastilles by mall. II
