In giving mash take six quarts of good
bran, pour boiling water upon the same, to
the consistency of dough, add little salt,

no hay, and only half the quantity of

earth with ability and energy. He began
life as clerk with the great banker Baron
Seilliere, who in 1890 sent him to superin
tend some iron works at Bazeilles. A few
years only had passed when with bis
elder brother be became the manager Of
the works ut Creuzot which, under his di-
reetion, rapidly became conspicuous among
the Industrial establishments not of France
only, bat Of Europe. The age of railways
made his fortune. 1t was nc Creuzot that
France frat began to compete with Eng
land In the manufacture Of locomotives. in
1874, and twenty years afterwards, in 1865,
u. Schneider had the satisfaction of re-
ceiving and executing orders for the man
ufactare Of locomotives to be sent to Great
Britain. II. SCHNEIDER entered political
life in 1S45, under the reign ofLoQis Phil

As Regent Of the Bank of France and as
a member Of the Administrative Council
for the development af agriculture and
commerce, VI. Schneider won great and de-
served reputation. A formidable strike in
1870 among his workmen at Creuzot. who
then mum bered more than ten thousand
men, gave him an opportunity TO display a
degree of fmness, tact and skill which

The church ediice at one time belonged

pairing the church edifice. After all this,
they brought suit for the recovery of the

THE AsToR EsrATE-The reports in cir
cuation about the value of the estate of
the late William B. Astor are said to be
greatly exaggerated. Similar reports fol-
lowed the death of John Jacob Astor, in
194s, whose property at the time was esti-
mated by popular rumOr at 0,O0O, 600
aud turned out to be worth about $40, ,000,-
600 Some published statements have
fixed the value of William B. Astor's estate
as high as 5000, 200, 600. Its real value is
probably less than one quarter of that sum.
It is believed that the bulk of Mr.. Astor's
property consisted of real estate in this
city. The records at the Tax Office show
that he paid taxes this year on SIG .O00, 900
worth of real estate in this city according
to the valuation of the Tax Commissioners,
The market value of the property is from
thirty to forty per cent above the assessed
valuation-a5out $25 ,OOO. 600. The same re-
cords show that he owned $636 900 worth of
bank stock, and he is known to have been
the holder of considerable amounts of State,
city and national bonds. What may be
the value of the government bonds and
other property exempt from taxation be-
| longing to the estate there is no means of
! as Gel tanning, but it is believed by those
| best acquainted with Mr.. AstOr that the
total value of his estate will not exceed

A novel plan for promoting habits of
economy among children has been in sue
cessfull operation for several years in the
public schools of Client, Belgium. BY the
advice of NJ. Laurent, Professor of Law in
the University in that city, savings banks
were established in each of the schools,
and the children encouraged to deposit
their pennies. 1900 of the is, 900 scholars
attending the public schools in Client have
succeeded in getting themselves accounts
opened at the State savings banks, with
about 900, 900 to their credit.
