A Generous Present,

--. N ~cMerOus Fresent.
ROME, Jan. 12-The Marquis of Ripcn. who
recently embraced the Roman Catholic faith,
has presented the Pope with $4,000 sterling.
The French Cabinet.
PARIS, Jan. II. The Journal de Paris saws
that all the ministers will retain their porto.
llos at least for the present At the same time
Leon Say says that his resignation has not yet
been officially withdrawn.
LONDON, Jan. 13.-The Paris correspondent
to the Times says that in the Cabinet meeting
yesterday Dufaure protested against Buffet s
proposed programme and positively refused to
sign it. President Mcmahon interviewed and
proposed that he alone should sign :he pro-
gramme. He appealed to the devotion of the
ministers to terminate the crisis. The minis
tiers accordingly agreed that the proclamation
of the President be published to-day and that
each minister shall as formerly follow his own
line of policy, but all shall rally around the
Marshal to give him their cooperation.
After this decision was arrived at a semi-offi
cal announcement was published that M. Buff
fet would conntersign the programme of Feb
18th, 1875 Tho tenor of this announcement
convihces everyone that the crisis continues.
LII the entire Cabinet he'd agreed to keep silence
and allowed MacMahon to speak alone. Buffet
would have undergone defeat and Leon Saws
resignation which he provoked could not be ac-
cepted.
Buffet, by couutersigning the proclamation,
gains double result He puts himself forward
40 VIC iuopiIeI Vi tdo ET6SlOent, ana pledges
the cabinet collectively to the policy set forth
10 the proclamation. This means that Saw and
Dutaure can only retain Office because they
have sacrificed their wills and ideas to those of
NJ. Buffet Say and Dufaure doubtless yield
ed because they felt that the prolonga-
ton of the crisis was very periloas
The peril, however. has simply changed shape
by means OF the proclamation. MacMahon, in
stead oil the cabinet, enters the electoral arena
and endorses Bullets policy, which seems des-
tined to defeat The principal feature of the
programme is to oppose as enemies Of order
those who demand a revision of the constitu-
ton before 1880, or attack the provocative of

How ahc Blood is Filtered.

When the blood contains the acrid elements which
produce rheumatism, govt and venal disorders, the
kidneys ought, for it is their Office to filter fom the
blood, in its passage through them, these hurttul
impurities. When they do not, they may be melted
to thorough performance of their duty, and the
blood thoroughly depurated by that admirable cor
rective of organic inactivity, Hostetters Stomach
Bitters. Not only is torpidity of the kidneys over
come, through the agency of the Bitters, but
digestion is facilitated bilious tendencies counter
acted, and the bowels stimulated to a due dis
charge of their function, which, in connection with
that of the kidneys tends to free the system from the
bodily refuse, whose retention is so prejudicia to
health

Gentlemen: must express my gratitude for the
wonderful cure as performed by your Rader's Ger
man Snuff l had been afflicted with Catarrh for
many years, and it caused my hearing to become so
poor that was totally deaf, tried many remedies
but without any benefit but at last purchased a
box OF German Snuff and its use not only entirely
cured my Catarrh, but what was yet more wonderful
my hearing fully restored and after having been
deaf for years, can now hear as well as any one.
This Snuff should be spread broadcast over the land
for it will prove blessing to all who use it.
Yours very truly,
MRS. MILO STRATTON.

hierogliyphic very unlike those OF
Egypt, although in some of the texts
Mr.. Dunbar Heath thinks he can
recognize the royal rings OF Thomas
III. and other conquering Pharoahs.
Dr.. Birch and others make no doubt
that this strange writing is that of
the khita. by some identified with
the Hittites of the bible. The
Egyptian inscriptions prove that the
Khita were acquainted with the art
of writing, and that their principal
seat was the Orontes Valley. The
Hamathite writing has been found
as far westward as Cilicia, where,
again, the ancient geographers speak
Of two districts, one on the sea and
the other inland, which bore the
name kutis or Ketis. Mr.. Glad
stone has identified the Keteioi OF
Mysid, who are mentioned by Ho-
mer, with Khita of the Egyptian IN
scriptiens, so that any addition TO
our few Khitan autographs cannot
fail to be welcome.

Savings Banks.

The savings bank system of the
world is the subject of an interesting
report by the italian Bureau OF
Statistics to the Statistical Congress
at Buda-Pesth. The savings bank is
modern. The first institution of the
kind was opened at Berne, in Swift
erland, in 1887. The first in the
United States was founded in Phila-
delphia in 1918. In 1872 there were
in Europe 1900 savings banks, more
than half of them i'm Great Britain,
and holding quarter of the total
deposits of s1,100,000,000. Three
years later, i'm tho United States,
there was less than 700 savings banks,
with $S5o,0O0,00o of deposits. The
United States has the heaviest
amount of savings deposits. Eng
land follows, and Austria with Hun
gary comes next. Denmark has the
largest per capita average of savings
about $28 for each inhabitant. The
United States and Switzerland have
$22 each. England, Germany and
Austria have $40 for each and every
inhabitant. And Italy S.. Holland
puts little faith in savings banks,
and in Russia proper there were in
1872 less than 100000 of savings
deposits. The only European insti-
tuition that is as large as the largest
American banks is the Vienna bank,
which has $40, 00O,00 Of deposits.
The deposits of the Caisse d. Epargene
at Paris declined from $I4,00O,0O0 in
1910 to $4,000, 900 in 1875. The Berl-
in bank--a monopoly-had at the
close of 1874 only 81 900, 900 of depos-
its. In England and in France the
deposits are invested in Government
securities. In other countries bonds
and mortgages are favorite invest
ments. But in Norway three-quar-
tiers of the savings deposits are in
commercial paper.

The following account OF Mr.

Smiths fireman was reduced to al
most dead letter, 80 that he has

cords rapid and marked apprecia-
ti0n in the value Of oil during the
third quarter of the present year,
and adds: ave are shipping 10000
barrels of crude per day, and have
only production of 900 barrels
per day. our stock on hand in iron
tanks is estimated to be little over
3,0O0,0@0 barrels. In order to supply
the home and export demand for
the next three months it will require
this 10000 barrels per day of ship

before Jan. /, provided our produc-
ton does not materially increase
during the interim. by tho close Of

up the production, unless, perchanco
some new and prolific territory is
discovered.
