When business principles are con-

tiently, "what is the use of being
guided by them? Bank drafts are
drawn, sir, to facilitate the transac-

banks are organized to serve as
means of promoting the rapid inter-
change of commodities, or rather the
converting Of commodities into the
circulating medium of the country, to
the end that toll may meet its due re-
ward without undue delay. But banks,
sir, are conducted for the real purpose
OF enriching their proprietors. They
are swift to take money in and slow to
pay it out. They form but another
link in the chain with which plutoc-
racy is lettering the limbs of labor

mountain that crushes down into the
ground the common people! Banks,
sir, are simply part of the scheme
through the operation of which the
rich are growing richer and the poor
are growing poorer. The monopolists

dictate to the workers the terms on
which the workers may live. Like u

He Has Named $4,000 FoundIings.

He Has Named $4,000 Foundlings.
Kate Fields Washington.
Superintendent Blake of the de-
partment of charities and correction
in New York has named more boys
and girls, probably than any other
man in existence. In fourteen years
he fitted out $1,000 children with
good, useful, substantial names. That
was several years ago, and he has been
keeping it up ever since.
When q policeman finds cast-away
baby in the streets of New York the
infant is at once carried to the charity
department. where Mr.. Blake looks it
over and writes q name in the big
ledger kept for the purpose.
The superintendent says that not one
OF the $1,000 waits has ever come back
to complain of the unfitness Of his
cognomen. The fitness of the name
bestowed is a matter of pride with the
old gentleman, his chief study in life
being how to give a child a name
which shall be help rather than a
hinderance later on. He thinks there
is great assistance in q good name,
and instead of burdening boy found
in an ash barrel by calling him John
Ash, he would be far more likely to
write him down Godfrey Leonard.
at is bad enough" says Mr.. Blake,
"for the child to know he is aban-
doned, without making it still more
apparent by saddling him with name
that will not let him forget it,"
The huge bookful is good reading,
in the light OF Mr.. Blake's hobby.
Think OF fitting out $1,000 boys and
girls with names which will not inter-
fere with their being merchants. actors,
dramatists, novelists or just everyday
men and women, and of doing it with
no repetition except in the case of a
boy and girl found rolled up together
in q bundle in an aristocratic door
way! Naturally they were supposed
to be brother and sister, and were
named accordingly.

PREPARING FOR WINTER.

storm Doors and Weather strips should he
Put In Order.
Before the winter is fairly upon us,
and while the warm autumn DAYS are
here. there are many small items about
the house to be seen to. Among these
is the weather stripping of doors and
windows.
In q properly made house there
should be no need of weather strips,
but few houses are SO thoroughly con-
structed that there is no cracks about
the doors and windows, where the cold
air can penetrate. On breezy side Of
the house. exposed to the north or
west. it is good plan to have double
windows. provided they are arranged
SO that they may be opened when nee
cssary for ventilation. The double
window that is put in 80 that it can not
be opened is certainly to be condemned.
The storm-door, which the wise
householders use outside the regular
entrance door, is also q great help to-
ward keeping the house warm. These
doors and the double windows are not
q great expense, and are arranged SD
that they can be easily put in place or
removed. They are not strictly needed
except in extremely cold weather.
All weather stripping that prevents
the opening Of the windows is to be
condemned. The simplest weather
stripping, with rubber edge. costs
but q fewcents foot, and can be put
in place by q person with only slight
knowledge of carpentry. The neatest
weather stripping is painted or finished
in pine or hardwood to match the other
woodwork Of the room.-N. Y. Trib-
une.
