ing associations of Philadelphia, the
object Of which is primarily to save
money, and secondly to enable members
to become owners OF homesteads. The
movement to establish such associations
was begun in this city in 1877. a number
OF leading citizens, conspicuous among
them the late Josiah Quincy, taking a
prominent hand in it; and that year
several were incorporated under gen.
eral law passed by the Legislature. like
savings-banks, they come under the di.
rection of the savings backs commits.
sioners. The person desiring to deposit
and secure the benefits of q saving fund
and loan association purchases of one OF
them as many shares as he desires to
save dollars per month, and, whatever
sum he starts with, that sum must be
paid each month; it goes upon interest
as soon as deposited, and can be with.
drawn at any time by giving thirty days
notice. The shares are $500 each, and
each share entities q member to loan
of 5000. In order to obtain loan, q
member must have subscribed to as
many shares as will represent the
amount he desires to borrow. For In.
stance, If he desires to borrow 81 900,
he must have subscribed to five shares.
The monthly payments on this would
be: Dues on five shares. So; interest at
9 per cent on $1,000, 5000 and If q
premium Of 20 per cent is bid for the
money, that would be, on five shares,
81. for Fifty months--a total of Sl6.66.
This amount he must pay each month
until his five shares are worth 5000 each,
when his loan and shares will balance
each other. The premium referred to
above is the amount bid for the use OF
the money, the system being to offer, at
the regular monthly meetings of these
associations, loans from the money paid
in by shareholders, to those members
bidding at public auction the most per
share. Experience has shown that the
shares in cooperative association will
mature in from nine to ten years. The
borrower of 81, 400, say, pays nominally,
according to the above statement, at the
rate of u per cent. for his money. But
in ten years, at this rate, he will have
paid $1,000 to the association, making
the amount actually paid for the use Of
81, 900, $500, or not quito per cent per
year. Every borrower is required ia
furnish security in the form of first
mortgage Of real estate, in addition to
pledging one share of the stock for every
5000 loaned. There were reported by
the savings-bank commissioners in Feb
ruary, 1883, nineteen OF these co-opera.
tive banks in operation in the State. The
Pioneer" of this city waa the first char
tered under the Law OF 1877, and it is at
the present time the largest of its kind
in the country. There are three others
in the city proper-the Homestead,
the "Workingmen's," and the "Mer-
chants" There is one also in West
Roxbury.
The above calculation of cost is made
for Los Angeles, and covers taxes
assessed against the mortgage exempt
ing the property. Suppose, instead of
paying SIS to $50 a month, rent. per-
son made this payment monthly, see
how differently it would end.

and moaned, and finally meditated
deep and lasting revenge upon his ach.
ing jaw. He would devise plan which
should bring sudden relief and reflect
credit upon his name forever. Aha! he
had it, and finding several pieces OF
string he tied them together, making
cord of Irvine about six feet long. One
end of this he tied securely about his
tooth. Then he walked with the courage
OF despair to the parlOr, and, climbing
by means of a chair placed on the mar
ble-top table, he fastened the other enc
of the string to picture hook on the
cOrnlce. After momentary hesitation
he jumped from the table to the floor.
In that brief descent, the events of his
life passed in review before him, and he
thought of the horrible possibility of the
tooth not yielding, and himself there

Grandfathers Clock.

j. r. Graves, a jeweler at Cory, Pa,
has on exhibition timepiece which is
something of curiosity 1t is a clock
which has been in possession of the
Graves family for over fifty years, and
is believed by the Grayeses to be the
oldest in the United States. 1t was
purchased from man who brought it
ACROSS the water, and probably stole it
somewhere in Germany, as the work
manship is evidently German. Only the
works and case are original. the missing
pendulum and weights having been sup
piled by its present owner. 1t is in
good running order, and ticks away the
minutes and hours probably with as
much accuracy in modern CORY as on
the banks of the Rhine more that four
centuries ago. The case of the clock,
which consists simply of a square face
and sides, is fourteen by sixteen inches
and eight deep. The whole is of brass
and iron. Over the front is a circular
dial plate on which are engraved the
hours, and by removing this the date is
exposed, engraved in curious Romano
figures-1411. The queer old timepiece
is, therefore, Az years old, and was
made a good three-quarters of a CEN
fury before this continent held a place
on the map of the world. The entire
face of the clock was once plated with
gold by the hammering process. for this
was long before electro-plating was
known, and particles of the precious
metal still adhere to the brass. The
mechanism is in all important partic-
ulars the same as that of the ordinary
weight clock of to-day. There is no
provision made for minute hand, how
ever, and only the hours with their
fractions are noted on the dial Above
the whole is the gong as large as the
crown of mans hat, and on this the
old clock still strikes the hours loud
enough to attract the attention of
passers-by

A Very Old Hnrsa.

On the left hand side of the public
road coming towards Greensboro, Ga.
and only n short distance from the fa-
nous camp ground of Liberty, stands 4
large tWO-StOrY house. somewhat wealth
er-beaten and bearing the marks of time
The building was begun in 1901 BY a
man named Bush and was not cOmplet-
ed until two years afterwards. or in 1903.
At the time of its completion it was one
of the handsOmeSt buildings in Georgia.
and although eighty years have passed
over it, it still stands firm rs a rock,
age and time appearing to add to its
strength. 1t is oblong in its structure,
with a massive brick chimney at either
end. The caves, the window easements
and door fronts are fringed with chain
of ornamental woodwork of beautiful
design, wrought entirely by hand.
The weather boarding, the sleepers
and stills are all of the heaviest timber,
and appear to-day as sound and sub
stantial as when hewn. Inside the
rooms are paneled with carved wains
coating and corniced in the same man
ner as the exterior. The mantels and
stairways, door facings, ceilings, all
show ornamentation of like designs.
One can but marvel at the time, the
patience, and the labor expended on this
dwelling, and at the substantial manner
in which it was built. A year was con-
sumed laying the foundation alone, the
sleepers being of seasoned chestnut
about fourteen inches square and rum
ming the entire length of the house
