POCKET SAVINGS BANKS.
A New and Ingenious Contriv-
ance.
The Latest Invention for Enabling Those
Having Odd Coins About Their Per-
sons to Save Them = Good
Thing for Spendthrifts.

Pocket savings banks are the lates
thing out. These are receptacles fol
nickels and dimes, out of which they
can not be extracted until certain
amount--usually five dollars or ten dol
lars-has been deposited.
Similar banks are made and extensive
ly sold, of larger size and fanciful de
sign, which serve the same purpose, but
which can not be carried in the pocket
Once these banks were only used by
children. To-day they may be found in
men. That their sale is enormous is at
tested by every dealer in toys and sport
ing goods One of the largest firms in
New York City told q Sunday Journal
representative one day lately that their
sales had been so vast that they had not
one in stock and had ordered large
quantity more.
The majority of these banks are de-
velopment of the old-fashioned child s
toys, such as the man with gun who
shoots n nickel into tho mouth of bear.
The first improvement over these toys
was in the form of n safe with COM
bination lock. OF course this served q
purpose. No one could extract any of
the money deposited unless he knew the
combination.
But the chief enemy of man was feft
to be man himself. The one who alb
stracted most of the cash was the de-
positor To save him from himself was
tho obioot nf tho iuuon forc IF tho latnat
devices. While these differ materially
in design and probably in mechanism,
they all have the same principle. This
is to provide n receptacle for savings,
out of which no one, not even the de-
positor himself, can extract them until
certain amount has been deposited.
The nickel savings bank is one of
these. This is a cast-iron box, with a
door in front. Upon the top is circu
lar tube with slot in the top. Into this
slot the nickel is dropped. Once in there
it remains until one hundred of them
are collected. Then, and not till then,
the door can be opened and the pile
taken out
The registering dime savings bank
is one of the neatcst designs Ii is made
of oast-irou and has q dial like clock.
