Keats later walks were taken, and his
great. expressive eyes gazed over all this

you as it appealed to all the great departed

miring familiars ask. But it is not that
alone which leads the visitor to love it.
The prettiness is garnished with memories
of century that can never be lost to Dos
terity.
On the edge of the Heath, at the corner
of the East Heath road, as you will doubt
less remember having been told. stood the
tavern of the Upper Flask, kept by Chris
topher Kat. Here, in the gardens nearly
opposite the Pool, on balmy afternoons,
gathered under the shade of a mulberry
tree the famous members of the Kit Kat
cluo-Addison, Pope. Steele. Congreve
and their compeers. The mulberry tree
died at good old age in the Christmas
storm of 1876, but the minds that made
the eighteenth century ring again will live
perhaps till the Heath itself is submerged
in the ocean.
Down there in the little hamlet, the Vale
of Health, the merry-go-rounds themselves
take on an air OF sanctity. For hedged in
there among the villas that are gone stood
the cottage of Leigh Hunt. that "most in
teresting, pitiable, lovabie man, TO be
used kindly, but with discretion" The
exact site, they say, is that of the Vale of
Health hotel.
In 1917 Percy Bysshe Shelley was an in
mate of Hunts cottage, and Keats was
their neighbor. Great was the latter's
love for Hampstead. His three last years
in England were spent here, and here he
wrote his lode to a Nightingale, The
Eve of st. Agnes" Isabella" and ely

are astonishlngly close. Upon one occa-
sion there were cleared in the clearing
house more than 500. 600 900. and the bal

This. of course, is simply later day re-
fnement of the earlier processes of trade.

shoes for a bushel of corn. But the enor-
nifty as we'll as the extremity to which
this refinement is carried is striklngiy
suggested by one operation which recently
took place in the clearing house when one
of the New York banks had clearances
amounting to nearly $3.50. 600, and yet 1t
had to pay only 70 cents in cash into the
clearing house
The power which this weak and ire
sponsible Institution. irresponsible in the
sense that il is not governed by any statu-
tory regulation, is suggested by two Incl
dents which have occurred within recent
years.
In the spring of 1854 there was time of
suspicion in the financial world. Rumors
of ominous portent were aiioat. 1t was
said that one or two great ban king houses
were in difficulties, and the money mar
ket, which is as sensitive TO rumor as a
lake to the gentlest zehyr, began to show
signs of panic. AT last the crash came.
The Metropolitan bank, one of the great
est financial institutions OF New oTk,
announced that il was unable to meet its
obligations. Wall street was wild with
excitement. There is no more awful spec
tacle than that which is seen upon the
streets near the New York stock exchange
when a time of panic has come. Men
seem to be no longer human beings, but
maddened brutes. and such spectacle was
witnessed upon that day. Nobody knew
who was safe. Everybody knew that when
one bank like the Metropolitan fails others
go down like the row of blocks which chill
dren in their play upset.
In an instant almost the clearing house
was notified. Messages were sent hurry
ing to notify the different members of the
association to come at once to the hall
where the members meet. There gathered
within an hour a company of men whose
action could extend this panic so that the
whole country would become involved, or
on the other hand they might be able to
crush it out upon the sEst. They repre-
sented hundreds of millions OF dollars;
they controlled the greater number of the
banks of New York. Some Of them were
men of supreme ability. All of them had
such expressions upon their countenances
as indicated the consciousness of ire
mendous responsibility.
One of these men, George s. Coe, man
who at the outbreak of the civil war had
done those things which gave the govern
ment loan of $50, 600 in gold when il
was in desperate extremity. arose and said
that if the Metropolitan bank could show
any assets sufficient TO meet ultimately
It's liabilities he was in favor of taking
them and letting the clearing house be-
come responsible for the obligation. They
asked for these assets. and when they
were shown il was found that they were
not sufficient to save that bank.
