MILES STAEDIsH REVIVED,
But the John Alden Does Not Carry
Out the SinlfIp

One Of cur fellows, whom we playfully
dubbed Shad, conGted to us one
day that he hal discovered that he
could not exist without the landlords
daughter, and that he would make her
his bride before the end of the summer.
We viewed the prospect with grea. favor.
What will you marry on" we asked.
well, lkn0wI have not much wealth."
replied Shad meekly; "but don't you
think this place is large enough for both
of us? And when any of this worshipful
company wander hither there will always
be a big slate and long reckoning"
We promised him our influence with the
father, and as there was no time to be
lost undertook to break the news gently
to the girl that Shed intended to marry
her. She was shelling peas at the time
and looked charming in her neat calico
gown.
Annette, l have something important
to communicate to you"
She looked up from the peas, and for
the life of me could not restrain my arm
from stealing in a paternal fashion toward
her waist.
And what is it, monsieur ~
Annette, my child, you are now a
young woman. do not doubt but many
have already sued for this fair hand (here
removed it from the peas and rubbed it
against my whiskers), but Annette, mar
riage is grand thing and one which we
should most carefully consider before TAX
ing the important step" Here paused
for breath. Annettes eyes were fixed on
the peas, and over her cheeks stole the
dainties ripple Of blush
Annette, there is one not far from yo,,
at this moment who adores you, who can
not live without you, who will make YOU
an adoring husband chow pretty she
looked, will you. will you be his -
l glanced across the yard and saw Shad
and the group watching met anXiously.
Annette's hand lay passiye.y in mine, but
she still kept her eyes on the peas.
who is he, mOnsieur!" she said. at
last glancing shyly at me.
For the life Of me / could not help it,
she looked so tempting
Behold him." | whispered "Will
you-can you-be mine, . Annette? ?"
Monsieur should confde himself to two
abSinthes before dinner" said my lady.
dcmurely, Withdrawing her hand and re-
Stunning her pea-shelling rs il nothing had
occurred.
She says she would not marry you for
a million dollars, Shad," / said, bitterly,
on my return.
"Well, well, l suppose not" remarked
my friend, philosophically "but | am
abliged to you, old man, just the same"

SAVINGS DANKs,
Their origin In Europe aud I'm tho
United States

Their Origin In Europe aud in tho
Emitted states.
Savings banks were unknown even In
Eur ape, century ago. While there is
son G Goubt as to who were the originators
OF The system, II Is very probable that the
first germs q the savings banks can be
traced to the people OF Switzerland. As
early as the year 1891 the first effort was
made In England by Jeremy Bentham to
establish bank, but his plans failed.
! Eentham's Efforts We're seconded, how
ever, by Nautilus in 1903; by Whitehead
and others in 1907; and they were more
successful, The total amount held by tho
banks Of Great Britain is about five hun
dred millions of dollars, There are saw.
ings banks In France, Germany, Belgium
and other countries on the Continent, and
the aggregate amount held by the Euro
pean banks is about equivalent to tho
deposits of this country.
In the United States the first organiza-
ton dates back to 1916. The first chartered
bank commenced business in the wear
following, and the pioneer in this country

held by the savings banks in the United
states exceeds twelve hundred mil,
lion dollars. Il sum more than sufficient to
pay, the Understanding debt of the
nation. The greater part OF this immense
sum is held by the banks in New England
and the State of New York. The States of
Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland,
Ohio, Indiana and California have about
$l5O,Oo0,OO. Statistics of other States are
incomplete. The banks OF this State have
zoe ,uOONO, divided among S26, 900 deposit
tors, and are only eNcelled by the banks OF
the Empme State, which have s4l5,OOO coo
ana 100000 depositors.
as has been stated heretofore, the first
bank chartered in this country was the
providence Institution for Savings of this
CITY. It's charter antedates even that of
any bank in Great Britain. This institu-
ton has been successful from its orpaniza-
ton. Its founders we've the most promi-
nent and sterling men of that day. During
Its long existence it has endured, without
wayering, all the trials occasioned by the
various, periodical depressions of business,
maintaining strong, conservative and

tcrizes its management. 1t has grown |

FRIDAY AFTERNOON.

Prof. Leavenworth spoke on the
teaching of reading to primary scholars
by the word method. He would have
pictures or objects and give them first
the idea, then the sound. then the prh-
ted word, then the written word. Lit
tie attention should be given to spelling
at first, the children will learn to spell
at sight and to tell whether word is
spelled correctly by its looks. Teach
ers should begin with very simple
words and gradually lead them on.
teaching the scholars the divisions and
sounds of the letters, the laws of euph-
ony &c. The next on the programme
was paper on grammar by Mrs. DIR.
Wood. She stated that gramma was
often called dry study, because it was
improperly taught. All teaching should
be practical whatever the text books,
and every rule should be illustrated by
sentences again and again coined by the
scholar. The teacher must have both
knowledge and ability to stimulate.
