BANK BOOKKEEPING.
A Perfect System Never Has and May
Never BE Developed.

Perfect System Never Has and May
Never BE Developed.
The cashier Of prominent up town
bank says that such a thing as a perfect
system of bookkeeping has never been
devised and probably never will be.
"When you think of it, !" he said, "book-
keeping is simply a question of mental
ingenuity. What one brain can devise
i'll tho way of safeguards another brain
can usually undo, speaking i'll general
way. The daily papers i'll condemning
the banks because of the moderate sal
aries paid to bookkeepers overlook o
very important fact. The banks pay the
market rates to expert bookkeepers,
which are anywhere from 81, 500 to 81, =
200 o year. An almost unlimited num-
Der of men can be obtained at these
figures, and paying more money would
not make the banks a bit safer, for the
simple reason that men of strong mental
powers, great business capacity and un-
swerving integrity are not, as a rule,
content to be mechanical bookkeepers
in large institutions. lido not, of course,
mean to disparage bookkeepers in any
way.
1.-THE point is that the men who make
good bookkeepers are unimaginative, re-
liable and steady going persons, who
are not influenced by great ambition,
and who do not aspire to lofty places. 1t
is not required of bookkeeper that he
shall have very high mental qualifca-
tons as bookkeeping is now conducted
i'll our big institutions. Each man has
stipulated amount of work of a stereo-
typed nature to do He has of course
enough ingenuity to swindle, if he
chooses to do so. Anybody who believes
that perfect system of bookkeeping
can be devised must also believe that it
would be impossible to counterfeit
money The Bank of England has been
held up as marvel for many years, and
yet it is no secret that that institution
was swindled in the mosS complete
manner for many years before it was
found out. The most important and con-
sentative commercial agencies and finan-
cial institutions i'll this city and London
have lost money through their en-
ployees, and the Credit Lyonnaise, in
France, where bookkec, ing is said to
have been carried to q very highest
point of safety, was COZ: pletely upset by
a number of clerks two years ago, who
had no difficulty whatever in hoodwink-
ing the experts and poclleting the bank s
money. New York Sun.

one came in here with a bit of old
carpet wrapped around her, and
that's all she had beside thin
gingham dress. She dropped her
carpet and tried to get blanket

caught her she said she might as
well be arrested as long as she
didn't get the blanket. Some of us

sent her away with 'em. =

Useful Recipes.

CELERY CREAM SOUP.-Boil one
cup of rice in two pints of sweet
milk and one pint of cream. Rub
it through Il sieve. Crate the
blanched parts Of three heads OF
celery and add it to the rice and
milk. Add one quart of white
stock and boil it until the celery is
tender. Season with salt and red
pepper and serve hot.
STUFFED BEEFsTEAK.-Take. a
thick and tender slice of rump of
about two pounds weight. Make
two gills ofstuffing of bread crumbs,
pepper, salt and powdered cloves,
or sweet marjoram, as you please.
Roll the dressing up in the steak,
wind a piece of Irvine around it..
taking care to secure the ends.
Have ready a saucepan, with slice
or two of pork fried crisp. Take
ont the pork and lay in the steak,
and brown it thoroughly on every
side. Add two gills of the stock
or of water in which meat has been
boiled; sprinkle in little salt, cover
close, and stew slowly an hour and
ii half. Add more water after
awhile, if it becomes too dry. Some
persons like the addition of chopped
onion. There should, however, be
only a very little; half of small
one is enough. When nearly done,
add half Il gill of catsup. When
you take up the meat unwind the
string carefully so as not to unroll
it. Lay it on a hot dish, thicken
the gravy, ii not already thick
enough, and pour over the roll.
Cut the meat in slices through the
roll.

THE CREST CURE"
Now Practiced by Many Women Who
Realize Its Value.

NSdtiZS ElS N1iue.
The crest cure is now practiced
at home by many women who have
come to a proper realization of its
value. 1t used to be an expensive
remedy, necessitating an absence of
six to eight weeks in a private
hospital, with trained nurse, mas

trunkful of pretty tea gowns for the
convalescence. Now the sensible

The business woman whose work

common habit of several young
newspaper women, reporters, to

hotels, seek the parlor and CON

Of the recent war between China and

In great danger as long as the war lasted.
Az u matter of fact. there was practically
no danger as long as the war lasted, and
II IL only since the hOstilitics ceased that
the danger has commenced. We have
proof of the fact In the recent nassacrcs,
and I think can explain tho reason. In
the first place. the great mass of Chinese
are disappointed with the result of the
war and are taking revenge on all the for.
eiHners whom they can kin with IMMUNITY.
In the second place. the killing and pillag.
Ing receive great encouragement by rea-
son Ut the depreslatiOns committed by
horlcs of disbandcd soldiers all over the
country. The Chinese Government has u
peculiar method Of disposing Of It's troops
ut the close Of u war. When the soldiers
are no longer needed they are discharged
from service ut the place where they hap.
pen to be ut the time. The fact that an
army may be several hundred or a thou.

may not possess any means of getting

DUN 4 cO's REPORT.
warning Against Too Rapid Ex.
pansion In Trade,

II. q. Dun & Co.'s weekly review Of
trade says: Improvement In markets and
prices continues, and whereas few
months ago everybody was nursing the
faintest hopes of recovery, II has now
come to be the only question In what
branches, II any, the rise In prices and
the Increase Of business may go too far.
A strong conservative feeling IL finding
expression not yet controlling the mar.
kets or Industries, but warning against
too rapid expansion ana rise. In some
directions the advance In prices clearly
checks future business, but encouraging
features have great power. Exports Of
gold continue, but IRE met by syndicate
deposits and are expected to cease soon.
Anxieties about the monetary future no
longer hinder. Crop prospects, except for
cotton. have somewhat improved. I'm.
portant steps towards the reorganization
OF great railroads give hope to investors.
Labor troubles nre for the moment less
threatening. and some Of Importance have
been definitely settled. The in,lustrials
are not only doing better than anybody
had expected, but are counting upon q
great business for the rest Of the year.
