Pleasures of Memory.

What blessed thing is memory!
How it brings up the pleasures Of the
past, and hides its unpleasan,uesses!
You recall your childhood days, do
you not, and wish they would return?
You remember the pleasant associ.
atoms, while the unpleasant ones are
forgotten. Perhaps to your mind comes
the face of some friend. 1t was once
Il pale, sad face. 1t showed marks of
pain, lines of care. 1t seemed to be
looking into the hereafter, the un.
known future. And then you recalled
how it frightened, how it recovered
its rosy hue, how it became a picture
Of happiness and joy. DO you remem-
Der these things? Many people do,
and gladly tell how the health returned,
how happiness came back, how the
world seemed bright. They tell how
they were once weak, nerveless, per
haps in pain, certainly unhappy. They
tell of sleepless nights, restless
days, untouched food, unstrung
nerves. And then they tell how
they became happy, healthy and
strong once more. You have he ard it
often in the past, have you not? You
have heard people describe how they
were cured aud kept in health? You
certainly can remember what i. is
that has SO helped people in America.
If not, listen to what Mrs. Annie
Jenness Miller, who is known uni.
versaly as the great dress reformer,
says: six years ago, when suffering
from mental care and overwork, re-
ceived the most pronounced benefit
from the use of that great medicine,
Warmers Safe Cure" All, now you
remember. Now you recall how
many people you have heard say this
same thing. Now you recollect how
much you have heard of this great
Cure. Now you are ready to admit
that memory Is usually pleasing, that
the highest pleasure comes from per.
feet health, and that this great remedy
has done more to produce aud prolong
health than any other discovery ever
known in the entire history OF the
whole world.

Rod Of initiation in this instance was
followed by by a wholesome reaction,
bringing about healthier tone and a
better system. The cause is interest.
ing the best aud most substantial
men of the times, and the work is now
on legitimate plane, from which its
projectors may view the ratings of
unfair critics and professional pess-
mists with uuconceIn and more or less
amusement.
Much Of the early stock in the West
was placed by ambitious agents in
the loaning field in contradis.nction
to the true mission and real purpose
of natural extension; hence there have
been good many Withdrawals for
this and other reasons, aud a good
deal of the early stock has been re-
tired. There were many speculative
persons who did net properly under.
stand the building and loan creed,
and tn. Sc individuals we're disposed
to believe that this new gospel of co.
operation was device for converting
dimes into dollars at short notice. A
majority of this class have deserted
the national standard and with them
has gone an undesirable set of agents
aud managers. Were it not fer the
undisputed fact that the associations
have gained another class of members
to compensate for this loss, and i'm.
proved the quantity as we'll as the
quality of their membership, these
candid admissions might be used as
an evidence of decline in the BUSH
ness of the national associations by
those to whom "the wish is father to
the thought" On the contrary, their
growth has been systematic, substan>
tial and permanent There is double the
number of first class associations i'm
the field to-day that there was one
year ago. The Older companies tina.
had passed their first quar,er>miIlion
OF assets in January, '9l, have doubled
their capital, and in some cases trebled
it. Instances of a decline ia their
accumulated assets are rare, and in
every instance caused by some excep-
tional emergency. There have been
two failures within the year; one of a
bogus b, ilding society in Chicago,
whose superintendent absconded with
all the available funds; and another
in the South, which has recently been
placed in the hands of a receiver, its
insolvency having been caused by the
peculation Of some $4,000 of the
original capital Of 100000 which was
subscribed at the outset by English
investors.
The industry has spread into nearly

National building and Loan Herald
The continued development of the
national building and loan associations
OF this country has been one
Of the gratifying events OF year that
has been filled with surprises for the
investing public and brought about
many changes in financial circles.
The Nationals have not been able
to make such a brilliant showing in
some respects as was made in 1890;
but in substantial growth, practical
results, and indeed in everything that
tends to promote the material progress
OF Legitimate financial business, they
have prospered beyond even their own
expectations. For a period during
which all kinds Of stocks have been a
drug in the market aud the choice st
securities, including government
bonds, at times unstable, it is mat
tor for congratulation ard un evil
dence of popular strength that the
national companies have been able to
retain their prestige aud make such
satisfactory headway.
Not only have the conditions of the
money market been very uncer.
tain and fluc'uating, but the year has
also been one of unusual activity
among bogus endowment orders and
kindred schemes which arc often apt
to divert the savings of the people
from legitimate channels. On the
other hand the associations have been
favored by the spirit and tendency OF
the times, which is to Look with increas.
ing favor and self reliance upon CD.
portunites for mutual investment.
The best evidence in supper. of an
opinion is to give the figures for it.
One year ago there were $50 national
associations with an average member.
slip of l 100000 shares and accumu.
lated assets Of about thirty millions.
Two. thirds of this business was OBJ.
tanned in less than one year. So
much success created corresponding
opposition, yet despite this fact and
that OF increasing competition, the in,
dustry is now represented by 500 as
sociations, embracing 100000 men,
bers with a contributing capital of
$500, 100000, and an accumulated
capital of s50,O0O,oOO. This remark.
able showing is really for an average
period of "A months, which represents
the age of all the associations. From
carefully compiled reports we are able
to present the suhJolned figures as
very close approximation of the
growth to date:
Number of associations ................ 800
membership 309,Ou0
Shares OF 800 each ................s 100000
Annual receipts .............. 3o.uo0,ouo

This too is conservative basis up
on which to estimate the strength aud
successive progress of this new COM
petitor for the surplus wealth of labor.
Ample allowance has been made for
the elements of initiation which are in,
separable from new enterprises Of
this character. The busir ess has
found its proper place in finance and

r. G. Dun g. Co = Review of Trade
for the week ending Saturday, Janu-
airy 20, says:
"The reduction of rate bv the Bank
of England from 81 to 3 per cent.
shows the confidence that prevails in
foreign money markets. Actual loans
are made at London at three quarters
OF cent on call, and here have de.
clined from p to 2 per cent. The
Treasury has paid out 100000 more
than it has taken in during the week,
an reports from all monetary centres
show ample supplies, an easier market,
and except at the South compare
lively light demand with fair or good
collections. Merchandise exports
from New York in three weeks have
been AZ s per cent. greater in value
than for the same weeks last year,
while in imports there has been a
slight decrease. The enormous excess
OF exports still continuing leads many
to believe that more gold must soon
be imported, but foreign exchange
has risen half cert during the week,
notwithstanding reports of purchasing
by London in the stock market.

and i'll the past two years has made many
trips to Rockland and Belfast alone. The old
gentleman is in excellent health, active and a
very interesting taller. He has never been
sick i'll his life except an attack Of the grip
last winter Mr. Skidmore tells some very in
terestng "reminiscences of his long and ac-
tive life He has built several mills and for
twenty wears he hauled lime casks to Rock
land He speaks of the time when he was a
young man that the highest wages paid We're
seven and eight dollars per month. A life
long Democrat he believes firmly in tile
election Of Cleveland. He has been to Cam
den every summer for the past three wears
and every time he likes Camden better. He
believes in the possibilities of ii railroad
from Augusta to Camden, passing through
Liberty. Before the time Of railroads he
and his wife rode from Whitetied, Me, to
BostoA in a carriage. Some of the best Of
his stories are about the war of 1912, which
he remembers very distinctly although he
did not serve as a soldier. The first money
that he ever earned was 500, which he OBJ
tanned bv working hard for one man a wear.
In full possession OF his faculties, energetic,
