ONE-CENT SAVINGS BANKS

New York Institutions Which Are Prov

The penny provident fund, organized

design of the organization to encourage
the saving of small sums among its pro-
teges by providing a place of deposit

at the ten different branch offices of
the society for carrying out the plan
So popular did the work become that

come in from the churches, the missions,
the Industrial schools, and the working
girls clubs, until there are now I2S sta
tions of deposit, 1909 depositors, and
SO, ,4G4.G5 on deposit in the different
stations. There are no hired clerks in
these stations. the work all being done
by voluntary charity The depositors
are quite fairly divided bctwc.s chill
dren and grown people, and, th". 6 Il 1t
il the. desire of the society that all ac-
counts of - shall be transferred to the
savings banks, many poor people refuse
to take out their money.
The plan of the work resembles that
so long practiced in England; l, 3, >. 10,
-, and so cent and II stamps are sold
TO the depositorS, pasted in the little
book given to each person, and remain
the guarantee Of the amount due until
il il needed and drawn out again When

helped To open an account in n savings
bank. and the United States and West
side savings banks have placed the
stamps on sale at one Of their windows,
where sums of cent up viii bc received.
and as soon as 81 iS accumulated the de
pOSitor will receive q regular paSSbook.
This work ncccsSitates the addition of
only one clerk. and it is hoped that 9th
er banks will take it up
One poor woman succeeded in saving
about $50 in this way, and when her
husband deserted her Il short time ago
she was able to start lodgings with the
fund.
y little girl whose father il very in
temperate meets him every payday be-
fore he reaches a saloon, and coaNcs all
the money she can from him. This she
divides among her little brothers and
sisters. and all i placed ON deposit. Not
long ago the father. through int-mper-
ance. was discharged from his work,
and the money thu, accumulated hy the
children paid the rent until new sit
uation could he found.
Another little girl has managed To
save enough in pennies and nicilels tn
pay for having her fathers grave put in
order.
The working girls clubs are some of
the largest contributors, one club alone
having raised 500 in the last year.
Much of the money il drawn out at
Christmas and during the summer vaca-
tionS, but the purpose of the society is
only to save for some such need and not
simply to hoard up money in miserly
manner.

Weight of the Enrfh

As matter of fact, the earth has no
weight. Weight is the pull of gravity
toward center and when speaking of
the weight of the earth we must con-
slider the pull of gravity towards the
sun, and in that respect the earth is
equally poised. All parts of the earth
pressing toward the earth's center
equalize each other, so that a tow line
would pull the earth thousands of miles
out of its orbit. Rather than penetrate
an atmosphere of another body so thin
that no animal life could exist in il, our
earth would make great circuit to get
around it. The almost irnperceptible
attraction of one of the other planets
pulls our earth thousands of miles out
of its regular path.-St. Joseph Herald.
