The Massachusetts Savings Banks.
A history Of the Massachusetts savings
banks, written by MI. William Wood
ward, cashier of the Worcester National
bank, has recently been issued in pamph-
let form, reprinted from the pages of
The Bankers Magazine. The painstak-
ing account of one of the Bay States
most cherished institutions ought to find
wide circle of readers in this common
wealth. The pamphlet briefly reviews
the rise OF savings banks from crude and
humble beginnings in Europe century
and more ago. For Massachusetts Mr..
Woodward claims the high distinction
of leading in the movement in this coua.
try. On this point he remarks: "Not
only. was the first of such institutions
under legal enactment in the United
States founded in Boston, but the act OF
Dec. 10, 1916, is, so far as known, the
first public act of legislation in the
world investing such institutions with
the protection of the law"
It was not until more than a yeal
later-August, 1s17-that the first act
authorizing savings bank was passed
by the British parliament. Credit TO,
having taken the first active measures ir
Massachusetts looking toward the found
ing Of a savings bank is awarded to the
Hon. Jas. Savage, of this city, and the
plan was first brought before the public
in the December number of religion:
publication, The Boston Christian Dis
ciple. The purpose Of the plan was an
nounced to be 'sFor the security and i'm
provement of the savings of persons il
humble life" Mr.. Woodward's pamph
let traces the growth of the savings in
stitutions in this state, and describes tn.
important measures of legislation affect
ing them. A valuable portion Of hi
work is a series Of tables showing how
the scope of the institutions has ex
banded. 1t is striking exhibit, and i
bespeaks not only an increased con
6dence in the savings bank system O
this commonwealth, but also an in
creased prosperity of the masses of it
people. Boston Journal.

the Olive.
One OF the Persian kings caused the
celebrated Attic figs to be set before
him whenever he dined, for one reason,
to remind him that the land where
they grew was not yet his, and that. in
stead ofrocoiying the fruit as tribute,
no WIS obliged TO buy II from abroad
and, for another, that IL was not only
the emblem Of health, but the most
wholesome fruit grown. The fig Is
now pretty well known to be, especially
ut certain Seasons, almost the common
food of the Italian people; and for
months they may be said TO live on.

II Is not only possible for IL mau to live
upon ligs, but sitting under his own
vine and fig tree, q man has plenty OF
food and no landlord. When eaten
fresh the fig is u medicine as well as
food; and they who eat freely need no
potions and no aperients. Full OF nu.
triton and all those. properties that
make II valuable as an article OF diet,
we are confident that the fig will take
a prominent position In the estimation
OF all who work for and believe In food
reform. For myself, would simply
add that. again and again, without
liquid OF any kind, the luscious green
fig. eaten with whoe-meal bread, has

but II Is the most ancient fruit we cul-
tivate. In many countries the failure
of this crop also means starvation and
famine. Travellers in Asia Minor and
southern Europe provide themselves
with figs and olives as provisions for
long journeys. and not only live, but
grow fat on the diet. The fig has more
medicinal properties and more nutri-
ment than any other fruit with the ex-
ception Of the olive. Interior.
