Salaries in Savings Banks.

The New York papers publish inter
esting statistics as to the expenses of OPP
Grating savings banks in that city. In
nearly every case large salaries are paid,
the salary account making up the bulk
of the amount reported under the head
of general expenses. Just now, when
the question of the organization of saw
ings banks is under consideration, facts
as to salaries and expenses have more
than ordinary interest and significance.
In the Bowery Savings Bank the de-
posts amount to 1919, 900, 600. The Pres
ident is paid salary of $4,000 per an
mum; the Secretary, $4,000; the Assist
ant Secretary, $6, 900; three tellers, $10,-
600; thirteen bookkeepers, 1888, 900 ;
watchman and police, $2, 100; two por-
tiers, So, 400; total expenses for salaries,
$78, 200; other expenses, $15, 900.
In the Blocker Street Savings Bank
deposits, 1913, 500,000,) the salary ac-
count is $48, 200, and the other expenses
$4,000. The Comptroller is paid sal
airy of $1,000; the Treasurer, Sc, 900, and
the Accountant, SIS, 200. In the Broad
way Savings Bank the Actuary is paid
$1,000. In the Citizens Bank the Sec
rotary is paid $4,000; the President,
So, 600, and the Cashier, $4,000. The
East River Savings Bank pays it's Presi-
dent and Secretary each $1,000. The
German Bank pays its President IS, 900,
and its Treasurer ST., 500. The Treasurer
of the Greenwich receives $4,000, and
the Accountant $1,000; the President
and Secretary of the Metropolitan, ST.
500 each; the President Of the New
York, 81 200; the President of the Sea-
mems $4,000, and the Cashier 1000.
The President of the Union Dime Saw
ings Bank deposits, $10,500, 000,) re-
ceives $12, 900 per annum and the Treas
urer $4,000.
The business of many of these banks
is very large, but in every case the Of
ficers and employees are we'll paid. There
are deposited in the eighteen banks in
the published list $176, 500, 900, and the
aggregate operating expenses of these
banks foot up $725, 600 per annum. This
shows the magnitude of the savings
bank interest in a city like New York.
Eighteen corporations hold $176, 900, 900
Of the peoples money, and in the Sea-
mems Savings Bank, with deposits
amounting to SIG, 900, 600, and the Dime
Savings Bank, with $50, 500, 900, the ma
jority of the depositors are poor people,
or people in moderate circumstances.

Child Love ana Faith.

About three years ago a gentleman OF
this city went East on visit to his old
home. One of his brothers there had a
bright and beautiful little son, not yet 2
years Of age. The boy-httle Benny
soon became strongly and strangely at
tached to his g Uncle Ben, from Was
hoe, whose namesake he was. Uncle
Ben often took the little fellow In his
arms In the summer evenings, and,
seated in the porch, talked him to sleep
At such times he would point out the
evening star, telling the boy that fan, far
away, Just under that star, was his home.
The child would look long at the star,
then for as long gaze up in the face of
his uncle, as though thinking on what a
bright and beautiful place his home
must be. At last the day came when
Uncle Ben was to leave for his home in
che far West. Little Benny knew this
as well as any one about the house, and
with both eyes and ears, was on the
alert. He would not allow his uncle to
be q minute out of his sight. Several
attempts on the part of Uncle Ben to
steal away resulted in such fits of crying
that he was obliged to return and soothe
the child. However, the child, wearied
with crying and watching, at last fell
asleep in his uncle's arms. When he
awoke Uncle Ben was far away. Long
the boy looked for his uncle, and often
called his name. Many times of even
ings he was found gazing earnestly at
the bright star that stood as guard
over his uncle's home. As he grew, his
love of the star deepened, and he talked
more and more of it and of his uncle,
both 80 far away at the edge of the sky.
Even when three years had passed, and
Benny was nearly 5 years old, his belief
in the story told him by his uncle con-
tinued. Poor boy anotner year was
never added to his age. It was his fate
to die fearful death. By accident he
was scalded over nearly his whole body
and lived but few hours. He seemed to
read in the faces of the dear ones about
him that he must soon die. He bore
his pain manfully, only uttering an oc-
ing deepened he was seen to turn his
face anxiously toward the window of his
room. At last he asked lis it there
the starr" He was told that the star
was there and shining brightly. Feebly
he said "Take me to the window" He
was carried to the window A smile
lighted up his face as he said "Ah,
there it is ! Now / can find the way to
Uncle Ben-I can see his start" He
closed his eyes as though wearied. The
smile faded out of his face. One moan,
as he was laid on his bed, and the light
of his life had gone out and up to meet
and mingle with that Of the star he SO
long had watched and loved. = Virginia

TRANSMISSION of Blood.

A good degree of success has attended
the TRANSMISSION of blood in the case of
Adam Kohlepp, of Williamsburg, pa
tient in the last stages of consumption.
The patients friends had no hopes of
his recovery. He had not been dressed
for two months, and had slept only in
snatches for weeks. At the first opera
ton, on July Ill, seven ounces of blood
from the arm of a strong, healthy man
were injected into the patients median
basilic vein. Before the operation, the
patients pulse was feeble and accelerat-
ed. After the TRANSMISSION the pulse be-
came slower and fuller, and gentle
pe1spiration appeared all over the body.
He soon fell asleep, not awakening for
seven hours. He then ate with appar-
ent relish, and again fell asleep, though
not so readily as before In the morn
ing he was able to rise, but did not leave
his bedroom. On the fifth day follow
ing the operation he took short walk
upon the street. On July 26 a second
operation was performed, in which four
ounces of blood were transfused with
the desired effect. Since then the pa
tient has gained strength rapidly, and is
troubled only with his short, hacking
cough. Night sweats have entirely left
him. His breathing is attended with no
difficulty. His pulse is full and slow.
His blood is only a little above the nor
NAL temperature, and for week past he
has not only been out but has done a
few hours light work daily. The treat
ment will be repeated in the hope of
arresting the disease. NeU York Her

A Charming Snake Story.

Mr.. Sam Gentry, living over the line
in the adjacent county OF Stewart, has
in his possession purse made Of the
tanned skin Of q rattlesnake, which he
caught under the following eircumstan-
ces: In going along path IN wheat
field he came across the snake lying at
full length before him, manifesting no
disposition to retreat or attack, and APP
parently waiting for something to turn
up. Mr.. Gentry, who is q practical
mesmerist, concluded to try his power
upon the dangerous reptile before him,
reasoning that if snake can magnetic
bird, why can not man, endowed with
greater mesmeric power, put snake
under the power of his will? Taking
his position by the side Of the danger
GUS but quiet subject, he made quick,
undulatory passes with both hands from
the head to the tail, and in few mo-
ments had the satisfaction of seeing the
snake completely within his power
charmed, magnetized, mesmerized,
whichever it may be properly called.
Placing one of his hands in front of
his subject, it Immediately crawled on
LIS TlSuG arm, Cu0u over LIS u6CA W buG
left, Gentry in the meantime continuing
the mesmeric passes. He then carried
the rattlesnake home on his arm, when,
under his direction, one of his sons
opened it's mouth and unfolded it's fangs,
the snake quietly submitting to the nov
ell operation. After fully satisfying
himself and number of his neighbors,
who were present and witnessed the af-
fair, of the truth Of his theory, he cast
the snake to the ground, killed it,
stripped off the skin, tanned it, and made
himself a purse, which he has ever since
carried about his person. Trigg CoUga-

Our attention has recently been called to the

during the cold weather now approaching.
These goods are the handsomest and most

are to be found at all the leading dry-goods
