THE HOUSE Of sAssOON.
Has Been the Great Financial Power
of the East for Two Centuries.

New York Tribune.
Sir Edward Sassoon, who has just become
through purchase the possessor of that ex-
traordinary mansion in Park lane, London,
known as ''Barnato's Folly" and which was
built by the late Barney Barnato, but never
occupied by him, is the head OF the greatest
banking business of the Orient, OF nrm
which in point of wealth, influence and
financial prestige occupies throughout Asia
and MahOmetan Africa much the. same posi-
ton as that enjoyed in Europe by the house
Of Rothschild. Indeed, these two great
financial dynasties may be said to go hand
in hand since Sir Edward SEASON is mar
ried to the daughter of Baron Gustave
Rothschild, one of the heads of the Paris
ward. who is a man of about forty years OF
age, when arrayed in his trim uniform as
captain of the Middlesex Yeomanry or when
attired in the scarlet and gold laced coat or
a deputy lieutenant of the aristocratic coun-
ty of Sussex presents striking contrast TO
his father, Sir Albert, who died few
months ago at Brighton For whereas Sir
Edward would seem entirely out of place
at the headquarters of the firm at Bonn
bay. Sir Albert, on the contrary. could be
pictured there as entirely in keeping with
his Asiatic surroundings, those Of a native
banker in an Oriental bazaar.
Originally the headquarters of the SasS0on
firm was at Bagdad, the Sassoons being
Mesopotamian Jews. But in the early part
of the present century they moved their
chief establishment TO Bombay, where the

LittIe-KnOvvn Things About Pennies
Which VIII Interest Everybody.
Philadelphia Press.
The most useful and Woodworking mem
Der of the coin family consists of 30 per
cent. of copper and per cent. tin and zlne;
and bears on its face the legend zone cent
1t doesn't require person of advanced age
or long memory to recall the time when the
humble coin was practically unknown own w ngS
universal, and the demand for it is increas-
ing so rapidly that the Philadelphia mint
is compelled to turn out one-cent pieces az
the rate of nearly 900 per month 10
keep up the supply.
Two recent devices have been largely re-
SpOnSiDle for the increased use OF our Only
copper coin. One is the penny-in-t he-slo5
machine. which has spread over the lana
like the locusts of Egypt within the past
two or three years. A single automatic ma
chine company takes in half million pen
nies day. AS there isn't a crossroads
village In the country that hasn't chew
ing gum, kaleidoscope. music or Weighing
machine operated in this way, the number
OF coins required to keep them all going -
enormous. The. other invention responsible
for the rise of the cent is the bargain
counter" The craze for accent and 99-c2nt
bargains makes work for lot of pennies.
A Subtreasury official says: why in the
middle of July there was a week or more Of
cold. rainy weather, and the supply Of PEN
mes coming in for exchange into larger de-
nominations fell of one-third. All throuSn
the summer the pennies accumulate on our
hands, but when cold weather comes ana
the children get back to school and retall
trade reviyes there is a great demand for
them. At present the minor coin division has
tens of thousands of dollars worth of PEN
MES on hand. but they are beginning to go
out, and by Nov. / we shall probably be
compelled 10 call on the mint for fresh
supply. The holidays demand a lot Of PEN
Mes and with the approach of Christmas
our cent pile melts away amazingly
There is no better indication of lively
trade conditions than the cent. During perl
DDS of dullness they always accumulate on
our hands, and when trade revives they be-
gin 10 circulate rapidly again.
The figures OF distribution kept by the
mint are interesting as showing the locali-
ties where pennies are most in use. Last
year the demand was greatest from Penn
sylvania, which took over eleven million OF
them. New York was the second largest
customer, adding nine million to her supply.
