exactly the same problems as formerly.

SYMPATHY is wasted on such men as
Carlyle w. Harris. To take human

deed that no false sentiment should serve
TO gloss over, and the sooner such men

will be for the world and civilization.

Scotch Wealth.

From the Forum.
Probably in no other country in
the world are banking facilities so
extensive as they are in Scotland.
In every town, large or small,
there is a branch of one or more of
the great city banks, and even
every village with the least pre-
tention to size, can boast of one.
While in England there is a
branch bank to about every
10000 of the population in Scotland
there is one to about every 400. 1t
is obvious that this extensive sys-
tenn of branches is well calculated
to gather to one center the savings
of the community. The banks are
not proud, and they accept at in
terest deposits of sums as small as
E5, and allow current accounts to
be opened sometimes, with trit1ing
balances, which in England, as a
rule, would be looked at askance,
and probably turned over to the
savings banks. The depOsitOrs in
Scotch banks who have not over
$500 deposited in the bank, receipt
or on current account, comprise
about three-fourths of the whole
number. The result is that the ag-
gregate banking deposits of a
comparatively poor country, with
few sources of natural wealth,
and with a population little more
than 100000, exceed $465, 100000.
And it may be observed that a
sum equal to perhaps One-third or
One-half as much again has been
placed on deposit by Scotch depos-
itOrs with the banks doing business
in the colonies of the empire

awe were party Che says OF two
ladies and three gentlemen on the
summit of this mountain on Aug
4th. On the morning of that day
the sky was passably clear; at noon
there was thick fog. Between 6
and Z o'clock in the afternoon
(the wind being south to
southwest) the fog suddenly
cleared in places so that we
could see the surrounding country
in sunshine through the riffs. We
mounted to the flagstaff in order
to obtain better view of the
scenery, and there we at once OBJ
served in the fog, in an easterly di-
rection, a double rainbow forming
a complete circle, and seeming to
be 20 feet to 80 feet distant from us.
In the middle of this we all APP
peared as black, erect and nearly
life-size silhouettes. The outlines
of the silhouettes were so sharp
that we could easily recognize the
| figures Of each other, and every
movement was reproduced. The
head of each individual APP
peared to occupy the centre of the
circle, and each of us seemed
to be standing on the upper per-
| iphery of the rainbow. We esti-
mated the inner radius of the circle
to be 6 feet. The phenomenon last
ed several minutes, disappearing
with the fog bank, to be reproduced
in new fog three or four times, but
each time more distinctly. The
sunshine during the phenomenon
seemed to us to be unusually
bright. Mr.. KlellandTorkildsen,
| president of the Telemarken Tour
ist club. writes to me that the
builder of the hut on the top of
| Gausta has twice seen spectacles of
this kind, but in each case it was
only the outline of the mountain
that was reflected on the fog. He
had never seen his own image, and
he does not mention circular or
other rainbows."
