We danced and we danced, or rather

then the real Dutch part of tho

every person, young and old, for no
one is too old to begin to save.
The basis of the prosperity of the
French people is their thrift. Of
course, says the Youth's Companion,
not every French man and woman
saves and puts by something, but
the practice Is nearly universal. It
seems true, that those who
earn the least, and who ate forced
pinch and screw the hardest to
give themselves food, shelter and
clothing of some sort, form the great
class.
At the end of 1893, Hie public and
private savings banks of France had
more than eight million depositors,
and the amount standing to their
credit was three and three-quarters
billion francs. Yet this vast sum
bout equal to the net public debt
of the United made up
of little accounts which average but
four hundred and sixty francs, or
ninety-two dollars each.
To save money is one of the
sons French schools. A
savings-bank book, with a small
sum to Credit of the owner, is a
prize commonly given to a bright
pupil, in cases when an American
school give tho money out-
right, or n book, or a bicycle.
Moreover, millions of French
who do not trust the banks have
money saved in old stockings and in
discarded teapots.

They can borrow of the local bank.
and can have the satisfaction of
feeling that the interest they pay
goes to their own neighbors.
This has been the experience not
only In the large cities of the east
em states, but also in the factory
towns where savings banks are es-
and where a vast majority
of the depositors are the

A few weeks ago there was a
bureau report as to the cotton

about per cent. At the time
that report was believed to be
far from correct. Now another
report has made which
places the acreage at seventeen
millions acres for this year
against twenty millions for last
year. In consequence of this
there was an advance in price
of several points on Thursday.

DEATH OF DR. C. T,
Dr. C. T. died at
his residence in this city
day morning at o'clock, aged GO
years. Dr. Bailey was one of the
most prominent preacher-editors
the State. Ho was for nearly
twenty years of the
Recorder, tho leading Baptist
journal of the State, and one of
the foremost exponents of that de
nomination in the South. He was
an able, original and interesting
writer and made of the Recorder
a great newspaper as well as a
popular denominational organ.
He occupied a high place in the
councils of his church, was a
safe, conservative and wise leader.
During his twenty
in Raleigh he endeared
himself to our people generally,
was held the highest es-
teem by them. He was a pro-
found thinker, a scholar, an able
preacher, a fearless, pungent, in-
editor, an honest, up-
right man and a genial amiable
friend and neighbor. Dr. Bailey
was born in Williamsburg, Va.
lie was educated at William and
Mary and at the Richmond Col-
of Virginia, he entered the
ministry immediately on the com-
of his education, but was
during the last two years of the
war, a private in the Confederate
army. After the war was over
he re-entered tho ministry, and
after serving several leading
churches, he was called to
Edenton, N. C From here he
went to Warrenton, and was pas-
tor of the Baptist Church there,
when called to the editorial chair
of the Biblical Recorder. He was
a very charming man, was full of
good humor and good cheer. It
was his nature to look on the
bright side of life, and although
his latter days have been filled
with intense suffering, ha has
born, these sufferings with Chris

Dr. Bailey was stricken with
paralysis on March 1892, from
which he never fully recovered
although up to a year ago he was
able to look after his work- Dur-
the past year he has been
gradually growing weaker, and
the fact that his valuable life was
fast ebbing away has been
known to his family and friends
for several months- The end
came morning one
of the brightest minds went out,
one of the noblest hearts ceased
beating and one of the States
best citizens was no more.
Dr. Bailey leaves a widow, who
was Miss Annie S- Briley, of

succeeded his father as editor of
the Recorder, E. L- Bailey;
and one daughter, the wife of

WASHINGTON LETTER.

Washing HO, June 1895.
President Cleveland surprised
a great many people when he
tendered the Secretaryship of
to Attorney
but there was nothing
about it to those who are
with the workings of the ad-
ministration. On the contrary, it
appears to them to have been the
logical thing to do. Attorney
General is thoroughly fa-
with the foreign policy of
the government. Indeed, it is
not stretching tho truth to say
that he had a hand in th form
of that policy, as ho was

President Cleveland and the late
Secretary Gresham any

It Is a task demanding time, pa-
perseverance, steadiness and
to teach a baby to walk,
Jut the necessity for such
edge is apparent to every individual.
It is also necessary to teach it the
use of Its hands, and how to help it-
self to food and the other needs of
its physical existence.
The majority of parents think it
obligatory upon them to teach it
ways in which to for its
everyday wants; but it is rare, in-
deed, to find those who make a study
of Instructing tho little ones in
things that pertain to accidents and
the unusual affairs of everyday life.
There arc persons of whom it may
truthfully be said that they are
never at a loss in emergencies. They
have self-reliance, executive ability,
and that quickness of
that makes them invaluable in
sudden need, or when disaster or
calamity overtake a community.
We am wont to look upon this
as inherent, or, as we express
it, a natural gift. It be inter-
to note the result of careful
training on these lines, and see
whether mental alertness, the ability
to weigh, and judge decide with
precision and dispatch, is not as
as the power to stand on
one's feet, use the beau shooter with
unerring aim, bring down the small
bird from tho bough with a pebble,
or an bull-frog
with a stick whittled to a point.
The great trouble in matters of
this sort is that children arc not de-
in this direction. Once in
awhile a parent thinks it of sufficient
importance to teach his child a
course of conduct proper in times of
danger or when there is
demand for action and no time
to work out the problem.
When public and private schools
began tho fire drill, the training that
enabled the teachers to clear a
schoolroom In incredibly short
time without a the idea was
ridiculed by a great many persons,
but there are numbers of instances
when this sort of drill has
saved life and prevented
those horrible casualties that shock
communities and leave heart-break-
vacancies in families.
Some years ago a man who lived
on the shore of a large body of water
made up his mind that there should
be no deaths by drowning in his
family. So gradually he accustomed
the children to the water, and, after
some practice, was able to throw
little his head into
surf. He taught them to change
somewhat the name way
us does the cat, In order they
might fall lo such shape as to receive
no injury. Timid at first, yet con-
pf tho rescuing power of their
lather's band, they gained courage,
until feats of somersaulting
from his shoulders were tho wonder
of the community. Before the
were ten years old there was
scarcely an accident or emergency
along the coast that they were not
able to understand and meet with the
quickness and comprehensiveness of
veterans. On more than one occasion
they were the means of saving life,
and once, in a driving
year-old boy in a cork jacket organ-
a life-saving brigade that
brought a yacht into a
safe harbor, which otherwise would
have to pieces on a project-
rocks. is claimed by
many that it is entirely possible to
teach children to meet
indeed, that they are much
easily taught than when they
have grown up and formed the habit
of inactivity and the dumb terror
that strikes unreasoning human
and many animals. To stand
paralyzed with fear is the least de-
of the dreadful
in It often means per-
peril and the destruction of
all that Is near and dear.
It is a wise parent who teaches
mental alertness along with the first
lessons in setting the little feet If
