The Saving of Money.

In thu savings banks of New Yo1H
there are $3.50, ooo, oQQ deposited by
women. -
For a typical scene in a woman'l
savings bank, that is, a bank in which
the depositors are women, one needs
but step into the E%migrant. in Cham
beFs street. Women can save where
men see only ruin before them. The
cheese pairing Is done at home, and
here the evidences of thriftand economy
among the of New York is mani
tested. Hour after hour, during bank
hours, there is d steady stream of all
degrees in life's social and educational
scale, intent on putting away their
dollars for the traditional rainy day.
Nor should it be supposed that wo.
men do not know how to do business.
They very quickly learn the routine Of
depositing and drawing out, signing
and indorsing checks, and all the rest,
and thus il is that they give the large
| corps of clerks little or no trouble.
Many women save money stealthily,
for the purpose of buying a home,
helping along the little ones with a
slender but constantly growing fund,
and for q thousand and one human
reasons, such as ome best under
stand and most willingly lend them
selves to, no matter what the sacrifice.
There are thousands of in the
city, so the ledgers in tne big banking
houses show, who, like the venerable
Peter Cooper, never allow a day to
pass over their heads without saving
something, ever if it be only a dime!
La the so-called dime banks women de-
pbsitors constitute a good percentage
of the patrons, yet seldom are their
average offerings above a dollar, and
oftener they are a half dollar. For
it is by such mites as these thatskhe
rising fortunes are builded. And bsst
of all women know how to accomplish
the end, and will do it when o man
will fail.
"As long as a year ago." said one
cashier, ga number of working girls in
New York came to this bank and opened
accounts. AS we grew better acquainted,
week after week, the secret was gradu-
ally confided that the little funds were
TO be used to visit the Worlds Fair.
ALI these weeks these girls have been
laying by a dollar, two dollars, q half
dollar; whatever they heretofore spent
for bonbons, gumdrops or gim-cracks.
Will they go to the Fair? Well, I
wish you could see their smiling faces
when they know for certain that the
end has been well nigh reached. Yes,
they will go to the Fair, and have a
good time, too. I tell you there is no
one like q woman to save. New York

Oregon and Washington send mil
lions of feet of lumber to the Austria
Han colonies, where the native wood is
too hard for building and joining. The
kinds of timber most in demand are
sugar pine, redwood, spruce, and Gore
gon' pine. The last named is used for
bridge work and the exterior of houses.
For lighter work, sugar pine is used
the most, and is preferred to Michigan
clear pine. Redwood is employed in
cheap cabinet work, fittings, etc. The
spruce is often sold as Oregon pine.
The lumber trade with Australia, how
ever, has fallen off sharply of late, ow-
ing the collapse of building societies
and the bursting of the land boom, and
it is estimated that the present supply
OF Oregon and Washington lumber now
IN the hands of the importers, about
$4,000, 900 superficial feet, will fill the
demand for the next twelve months.

The Baltimore manufacturers Rec
ord makes the point that diversified
agriculture has driven out the single
crop notion in the South. It SAYS:
In 1892 the cotton crop of the
South was valued at about 1915. O0O,-
600. The corr crop was valued at
$24s, 00O, 900. wheat over $40, 0o0, 900
and oats about $25, 900, 600. These
three products were then of equal
value with the cotton crop. Adding to
shem the value Of tobacco raised. over

vegetables shipped North, between
$40, 0Oo, 600 and $50. 600. 900, the total
OF the products named amounts to

but y is not 90 now, and In Georgia
and the Carolinas, the Atlanta Congti-
sutton predicts, it will soon
hold second place as to value
among the agricultural products, be-
cause of the inesease in cereals. fruits

ALIVE WITH A BROKEN NECK.
Mr.. Richardson Surviving an ordina-
rily Fatal Injury.
From the New York Sun.

rum tLt NOW 4 Oih Duus
Harry Richardson, ~ years old, who
has been spending the summer mouths at
the Kathleen villa, Bath Beach, was
taken to the Homeopathic Hospital,
Brooklyn, yesterday to be treated for a
broken neck, ordinarily an instantly fatal
injury.
The lower part of the mans body, from
the seventh ribldOwn, is totally paral-
yzed, but he apparently may live several
days. Richard is an expert accountant,
and is employed by the Fidelity and Sc
curity Company of this city. When in
town he lived at 18th street at Nicholas
avenue On the LIST Of July with his wife,
son, daughter, and mother-in-law, he
went to the Kathleen Villa at Bath
Beach to spend the summer months.
Close by the hotel where they are stop
ping is bathing place, and Richardson
used to take bath everyevening When
the tide is out the water IS only a little
over five feet deep. A small dock is
built there, with spring board attached,
from which the bathers dive into the
water
Saturday night Richards, in compa-
NY with a few other men, was enjoying
himself in the water His wife and some
friends were on the beach watching
them. Richards ran up on the dock, and
= =
dive into the water.
He came up all right and began to
laugh and joke with his friends. He
then went on the board for the second
time and took dive forward.
This time when he cameup he was un-
conscious, and as the other men rushed
to his assistance he sank. They rescued
him with difficulty, as he weighs nearly
240 pounds.

was rolled up and down for nearly five
minutes. A few minutes later DIR. Searle,
of the Marine and Field Club, was sum
mOned. When he looked at Richardson he
at once exclaimed: ''Why, that mans
neck is broken"
Richardson was then carried carefully
to his room at the hotel and DR.. Searle
began operating on him. He pulled at his
head and after a few minutes heard a
slight cracking of bones. A few minutes
later the man regained consciousness and
began to converse with his friends. He
said that he could not tell how the acct
dent happened to him.
"When ] dived the second time, =" he
said, 81 thought that my head had
suddenly jumped away from my body"
When he awOke yesterday after good
nights rest he tried to move his arms and
legs, but could not. Shortly after his ar
rival at the hospital he regained the use
of his arms.
House Surgeon Willis said when talk
ing about the case, that he could not I'M
derstand it.
THE mans neck is broken and do not
see how he lives. He may live
for several days yet, or perhaps several
months.n
The surgeon then told of case of q wo-
man on Bedford avenue who had her neck
broken by falling from "A second story
window. The accident happened three
years ago and the woman is still alive,
although paralyzed and not able to move
a muscle.

A BARN IN FLAMES.

The Live Stock in Building Adjoin-

Griffin, Ga, Aug. 9.-Late last night
w. p. Walker, one of the most prominent
planters of this section, had the misfor-
tune to have his barn, containing some
300 bushels of corn, 800 bushels of oats,
and a large supply of fodder destroyed
by fire. His stock was confined to the
stables adjoining the burning building.
Fortunately, however, they were saved
from being burned. The origin of the
fire is thought to be Of an incendiary
nature. There was no insurance and the
loss will be heavily felt at this season.

The learned professions are overcrowd-

of the market for brain laborers is not
far to seek. An immense number of
persons, who in former times would have
worked with their hands as their fathers
did before them, are being educated TO
work with their heads. There is gen.
eral leveling up Of the social grades, If
yon look at it optimistically. Theson of
the artisan becomes clerk, the son of
the clerk aspires to teach in school, the
son of the schoolteacher aspires to go to
Oxford or Cambridge. But this leveling
up is not an unmixed blessing.
The result is that we have so times too

nificant post advertised in The Times

educated teachers, and, alas, 10 times
too many university graduates turned
