The Strong Rooms Of the World.

Strong room is the standard English
name for what in this country Is termed
large vault for storage of ~valuabies,
such a cash. bonds. plates, etc. like
the good old English name of strong
room. and so 1 will use it as applying
to safe deposit vaults the world over.
l have visited many of them both sldes
of the water, and all my life since boy
hood has been spent in looking after
them. Less than twenty years ago all
the strong rooms in this country which
we're used for storage Of cash. bonds,
and SO forth, belonged to the banks
and bankers, and were a part OF their
business machinery. Since that time
safe deposite companies have been
established, and they are now numer.
GUS in this country, having larger n
better strong rooms than the ankers
over had. No one will ever know how
many million dollars worth of vafu-
ables are stored in one of these great
safe deposite companies, for each Gus
tomer has his own special lookup
within the great central strong room,
and keeps his W keys and l
shall be asked who is responsible TO de-
positors for safe keeping of all these
treasures, and 1 reply. the company Is
responsible for the exercise OF due car
and diligence in the work it has under
taken, and what is demanded OF 1t IN
these premises would have to be SGT
tied in the courts If any dispute IN the
matter should arise between q loser
and the safe company.-London Co.,

The Boy and the Bag.

There arc few sights more suggestive
of hopeful patience than that OF a boy
sitting on a bag of wheatthat has fallen
from his horse. He starts to mill Joy
ously. The great event in the life OF a
Young country boy is to be entrusted
with 2 milling expedition. de sleeps
very little the night before the Journey
so active is his mind concerning the
prospective trip. His father helps him
on the horse, and he sits on the bag as
proud of his position as a king is OF his
throne. Every object along the lonely
road interests him. He plucks the bloom
from the lockwood and almost falls OH
when the horse reaches around 10 bite
himself. He rides into a creek to let
the horse drink and spits at the min
nows that swim around. After he goes
up the bank, on the opposite side OF the
stream, and pursues his course along
the road. he notices with alarm that
the bag is slipping to one side. lie
sits still further over to make the bag
balance. vet he is not salts
fed. for It keeps sliding to one
| side and, ut last it falls OF. lie can
not restrain his tears, and though he
knows that ne can noI lll1 ouC ohu' sNt
he tugs at the bag. The old horse
snorts, nibbles the grass and lashes the
bow across the eyes with his tai.
..Whoa. you old fool"' and the discon-
solate little fellow weeps afresh. he
can not leave the bag, fearful that some
one will steal it. He must wait the
tardy coming of apasser-by. He hear
the sound of hOofs and he listens IN
tently, while the swelling buds OF his
hone burst into full bloom. He is
doomed disappointment. forthe horse
hiss no rider. Thunder rumbles in the
distance and he will get wet. At last
he sees an old negro coming along.
His heart beats high with hope. I'm
old negro steps aside and takes a by.
path. The boy shouts. The old negro
does not hear him. Another hour, thai
seems an age draws itself along; nc
hears a wagon. He is almost wild witt
ioy. The driver. though surly fellow
lifts the bag up. and the boy. haPP,
and thankful, is rescued just at a tim'
when he does not think that he coult
stand it a moment longer.-ArkanSou

The Fur Trade Of Alaska.

For years Spain, by her possession of
Mexico and Central America, dominated
the Pacific and enriched herself with
the commerce of the Indies. In vain
England and other powers sought tor
some other route into the Pacific than
the long and dangerous q around
Cape Horn. There existed at that time
q general belief among g~eographers
that from Hudson's Bay or the North
Sea, as the Arctic Ocean was then
called, and which was considered easily
accessible from tie Atlantic, there
must be a passage into the Pacific,
which was known as the Straits of
