Man Wants Bat Little Here Below.

PhfIadeIphia Record.
The truth of the assertion that man
wants but little here below is gaining fresh
evidence every day: His temporal wants
are being catered TO by business concerns
in such a complete manner that at the
present rate of progress servants will
shortly become obsolete and even wives
will become luxuries without really being
necessities. There is a man in Philadel-
phia who makes living, and pretty good
one at that, by simply taking care of your
clocks, even coming when necessary to
wind them. Another company contracts to
keep your windows clean for certain sum
per week. and now a new company has
been formed to keep your clothing looking
as a gentleman's wearing apparel should.
This latter concern will appeal strongly
to bachelors. Every week a representative
of the company calls at your residence,
takes your clothing away, makes what re-
pairs are necessary and returns the gar
ments in good shape. The charges are 10
cents per week, whether you have any
work to be done or not.

Some amusing anecdotes are related in

smugglers' tricks. few years ago an in
5ividual in ecclesiastical costume used

France every morning with a large brevi-
airy in his hand. He a man OF digni-
fed aspect. and received every mark of def
erence from the customs officers, who
somes accompanied him part OF the way
In his daily stroll. At last letter put the
authorities the alert, and the presumed
priest was found TO be a professional smug-
gler, who had contrived 10 introduce into
France at least a thousand watches in his
breviary, which on examination proved to
be a tin box. Very curious also was the
experience of a former inspector-general of
customs here. During visit 10 Geneva he
bought a clock. and instructed the vendor
TO forward II only when he had informed
him OF his return TO Paris. adding that he
must be careful to pay the duty. One of
the first things that he noted on his arrival
al his home was this Identical piece in his
drawing room. and in reply to his ques-
tions his coachman explained that the
tradesman hai himself slowed the clock
away in his carriage. IL is calculated that
only one out of ten professional smugglers
is ever caught.

The above association, the most pro-
gressive and popular among Indianas host
OF home-builders, in addition TO its system
OF complete monthly audits OF all accounts.
voluntarily subjects itself to a semi i-annual
examination by the State officials, the fol-
lowing report showing the result of the last
In October OF the present year:
Office of Auditor Of State of Indiana.
INDIANAPOLIS. Oct. IA. 1895
To the Directors OF the State Building and
Loan Association:
Gentlemen-At your request have caused
to be made an examination of the affairs of
your association, and the report of the ex-
animation shows the following statement to
be a true exhibit of its condition at the
close Of business Sept. 80, 1895:
Assets
Cash on hand ......................... s4,e9O2s
Loans to members .................... 440, 422 26
Furniture and fixtures .............. 6S00S

d and E stock and dividend. ..... $50, $50 16
borrowed money .................... u. 800 90
Total si5S. 4S5.n
The report of the examiner also shows
that the affairs of the association are we'll
managed and that its officers and directors
are attentive to its business. It's records and
accounts are satisfactorily kept; its loans
carefully made, and its business conducted
in safe manner. Respectfully,
A. c. DAILY,
Auditor Of State.
In the examination upon which the above
report was based, experts appointed by the
Secretary OF State OF Michigan were also
interested and employed. and as a result
this association has been granted the priv
ilege Of conducting its business in the State
of Michigan for thirty years from the 2lst
day of October, 1895. This is indeed a vic
tory for this association, the Michigan laws
being very exacting as to foreign corpora
tions and this being the second and last
association that has successfully sought Of
fetal recognition In that Commonwealth.
The State during the year ending Sept. 80.
1885, increased its assets about $500, ,O00. 90,
and ranks as one Of the most deserving and
popular as we'll as the most rapidly devel-
oping association in this State.
It's home office Is at q South Pennsylvania
street, where it will be located until the
completion of the new Scottish Rite build
ing, in which its permanent offices have
been secured through the affiliation of a
majority of it's directors with that order.
