of sight seeing about town, went early to his
room, closed his windows, blew out the gas
and tumbled into bed. When discovered
about IL o'clock he was breathing heavily
and was aroused with difficulty. Upon being
made to understand the situation he indig-
nantly denied that he was at fault. ''He
didn't touch the thing he said "he just blew

the necessity of ''crowner's quest" was as
accidental as it was fortunate.

BANKING IN ENGLAND.

EngIishmen are prUverblally long HEADED
tud careful, and their cautious, conseryaliv y,
methods are he secret of their stability as n
prople aud nation. If we, their provincial
ne cendauts, had 1.-THE of their conserva
ism aud carefulness, we should not be fall.

perplcXng us. The conservatism OF
the Euglshman shows put clearl,
IN the banking system of tina,
country. 1t is abou, as different from ours.
IN essential particulars, as could be imagiu.
ru' In Tins country, ordinarily, the man
who actually manages banking institution
IS not only a member Of the corporation.
but is most often the president of the Cor.
poration. This is in accordance with the
"one-man policy" which rules in American
affairs. The president of many boards of
bauk directors can do just about as he pleascs
with the name and funds of the institution.
The management is virtually in his hands
alone. he is exempt from the criticisms of
80 "9'''N'N'NS oH' may hcEp MS OWN COun-
sells without any particular right of inquiry
on their part
In Iusland, the case is very different
The executive control of the banks affairs is
given to man who not only is not president
OF the board OF directors, but is not even
member of that board. He is called the
manager of the bank, and is required to sub
nit full and frequent report of its affairs
to The board of directors. He is nothing
more, in fact, than a saarled employe and
the directors do not even exceed their duty
in requiring of him as complete an account
Of his trust as they deem necessary.
The immense advantage of such a system
of bank management as this, will at once be
seen. Nothing can be hidden. The condi-
ton and present policy of the institution is
brought to light at every meeting of the
ard of directors. II anything is going
wrong, II eau be corrected without fear of
the manager, who is supposed to
nave no further interest than the earniug
md drawing of his regular salary. lives
