Banks and Lost or Destroyed Bills. Bank bills are merely printed prom Ises of the bank or government issu ing them, to pay the face value of the bill or note, on demand, in coin of the realm. If a bank bill, or bank note as It might well be called, should be destroyed, the holder of the de stroyed bill is the loser, and the bank the gainer by reason of the fact that it would be relieved of the obligation to make good its promise to pay the face value of a note which no longer exists. Oil Now Made Solid. .Tank steamers taking oil the world around may in time be a thing of the past. Now, they have got up solid oil, and they declare it is almost pure petroleum. Slight pressure, such as squeezing a cake of it in the hand, causes the oil to ooze out. The cake of petroleum, perhaps packed into a wooden case lined with tinfoil, thus preventing waste or evaporation, may be shipped all around the world. For Rent.

Sunday about dark the long drotlth was broken by a most refreshing rain. The rain was preceded by thunder and lightning and considerable wind which raised the dust in clouds. Yes terday it was cloudy most of the time showing the weather to be unsettled. There was not near enough rain, nor as we could learn was it general and a generous continuance of rain will be worth a great deal to the crops. Worthy Suggestion. Whatever may your faith-a--nd every man, even so-called infidelS, have a belief of some kind-I wish to make one suggestion: Keep it sweett Rest assured that if your belief makes you crabbed and pugnacious, or crt. ical, or morose, then it is bad. No matter what your creed is it ought to, bring forth the one flower that makes any creed worth while, and that Is amiability.
