A Scene by Victor Hugo.

On the 28th of June, 1898, three men
were seated around o table in room
of the wine-shop of the Rue du Paon.
Their chairs we're wide apart; each
was seated at one of the sides of the
table, leaving fourth place empty. It
was about eight o'clock in the evening !;
there was still some light in the street,
but the room was dark, and a lamp,
hanging from the ceiling, threw a dim
glimmer on the table.
The first of these three men was pale,
young, grave, with thin lips and a cold
look. A nervous twitch in the cheek
must have spoilt his attempts to smile.
He was powdered, gloved, brushed, and
buttoned; there was not a crease in his
bright blue coat. He wore nankeen
trousers, white stockings, O frilled
shirt, and shoes with silver buckles.
The two other men were-one a kind
of giant the other, kind of dwarf.
The tall man, negligently dressed in
a vast coat of scarlet cloth, his neck
bare, his united cravat falling lower
than the frill, his waistcoat open, with
many but missing, wore top boots,
and his hair was straight and in dis
order, although it revealed traces OF
dressing and care.
There was something of name about
it.
His face was pock-marked he had
an angry wrinkle between the eyebrows,
and an expression of kindness at the
corner of the lips thick lips, large
teeth, bargeman's fist, luminous
eye.
The dwarf was yellowish man, who,
seated, seemed deformed his head
was thrown backwards, his eyes were
bloodshot; his face was covered with
livid patches a handkerchief was tied
over his greasy and fiat hair.
No forehead an enormous and ter
rible mouth.
He wore ordinary trousers, slippers,
and waistcoat, which looked as if it
was of white satin, and over this waist
coat jacket, in the folds of which q
hard and straight line revealed a
poniard.
The first of these men was named
Robespierre ; the second, Dantan f; the
third, Marat.
They we're alone in the room. There
was glass and q bottle of wine before
Danton cup of coffee before Marat ;
and a heap of papers before Robes
pierre. A map of France was stretched
out on the table.

An Industrious Worker.

It is said that Victor Hugo rarely
makes use of the pen; he works with
the brain and not with the hand. When
composing his works he PAGES the floor
of his room, holding high his head, and
debating to a secretary sitting at a desk
in one corner. He dictates very slowly,
sentence by sentence, as Moses, to
whom the poet often compares himself,
must have dictated the words engraved
upon. the ancient tablets of stone.
Moses he regards as the greatest man
that ever lived, but there are grave
doubts in his mind whether or not
Moses and Victor Hugo are not one and
the same person. If Hugo did not live
few thousand years ago under the
name of Moses, he thinks that the soul
of Moses must have descended to the
Hugo of to-day. 1t is even said thathe
has declared any other mind that ever
existed incapable of writing the first
books of the Bible, and rather inclines
to the belief that he wrote them him
self. If he extends his theory to others
his lofty contempt for the rest of man
kind must make him assign the rest of
us to brute state of existence at the
time he was the chief of the Hebrews
and the law-giver to tie human race.
Victor Hugo works incessantly, wear
ing out two secretaries when pressed
for time, and eats as hearty as any man
alive. The amount of fish he consumes
by himself would supply small family,
and his beefsteaks are of old-fashloned
dimensions. After all, thereis nothing
like good appetite and an excellent
digestion, especially when one rises at
five.o'clock in the morning and works
until midnight.

Growth of the Savings Bank System.

At a special Meeting of the New York
Historical Society Mr.. Emerson W.
Keyes, the Savings Bank Examiner for
the State of New York, read q paper on
the " Inception and Growth OF the
Savings Bank System in the State of
New York" 1t was in 1916 that let
ter of courtesy from Patrick Colqu-
houn, of London, to Thomas Eddy, of
New York, suggested the idea of the
savings bank in this country, by which
in fifty years more than 10000 per-
sons have been blessed and 81, 900, 000,-
600 garnered, and to-day $500, 900, 900
represent the savings of SO0,000,0 900
people. The idea of these provident
associations, as they were at first called,
originated in Scotland, and grew in
different towns of England. Its first
actual establishment on this side of the
Atlantic was at Boston, in the "Provi-
dent Institution for Savings of the
Town of Bostsn." On November 90,

made Governor, in his first message
spoke in favor of the new idea, and on

tion was approved. On July 8, 1919,
the new institution opened in the north

Bank was established. In 1927 the
village of Brooklyn received its first
bank, while to-day one bank in that
suburb alone contains $12,000,000 of
deposit. In 1929 the Seaman's Bank in
New York city was organized and open
ed. In the next ten years eight banks
were incorporated, and in the succeed
ing decade eight more were incorpora-
ted. From 1848 to 1859 fifty-seven
banks were incorporated, and on the
close of the latter year $48, ,00O, 900 re-
mained on deposit. The whole number
of banks in business then was fifty

The system still holds the confidence
of the people. In the first fifty years
since its establishment over $70,000,-
900 have been distributed as interest,
and the yearly average now amounts to
SIG, 100000, while for the past fifty
years $66, 900, 900, or nearly as much as
on the first fifty years, have been given
out. The average interest given out is
$40 per person per year, and of the de-
posits the average is $3.50 for each de-
positor.
