The Kaiser Avoids Spnin.

BERLIN, November 17.--An official tele-
gram received here from Naletta, Island
of Malta, says the Emperor and Empress
of Germany have sailed for Pola. at the
northern end of the Adriatic sea. from
which port they will travel overland direct
for home.
1t is explained that the Emperor de-
cided upon this course because the tenn
perature Of the Mediterranean has become
considerably cooler, and the danger to the
health Of the Empress by sudden change
from northern TO a southern climate is
thus lessened.

Is largely responsible for this change. In
the evolution of banking, therefore we OBJ
serve three interesting processes: First, the
gradual overcoming of the Scriptural con-
domination of usury, by reason of which the
loaning Of money at first barely toler-
ated, then became a respectable and finally
an honorable business: seeond, the gradual
conversion Of the special in the general

posts as experience may de, ermine to. be

ton of the bill! of exchange and the use of
credit instruments. As long as banking was
confined to dealing in money only, it was
desplsed and struggling business. When the

Curiously enough the invention of the bill

Mark Twain says; "To be coed is noble,
and no trouble" There isswisdom as wsll
as humer in that saying. Ittis easy. enough
to preach, but to be, and continue to Re,
successful banker is immensely difficult. A
modern bank may be well defined as manu-
factory of credit. Instead Of dealing exclu-
sively in money, as in 1.-THE early days the
banker has become an almost exclusive deal

have to be physician to understand the
causes of impure blood, or its far-reaching
effects. When a mans digestion is disor-
dered, his liver sluggish, his bowels mac
tive, the blood is deprived of the proper
food elements, and the sluggish liver and
bowels supply in their place, the foulest
of poisons. The blood is the 1ife-stream.

and deposits them in every organ and It's
