The National Bank of Mexico.
Globe Democrat.

OlODe democrat.
The National Bank of Mexico is man
aged by council of administration
composed of the president and eighteen
directors (of whom thirteen are resi-
dents of Mexico and residents of Pa
ris), with ten alternates: general di-
rector charged with carrying out
the resolutions of the council: cashier,
boOk-keeper, two legal adviser:
and general secretary, who is also in
spector of the branches. These mem
bers OF the council are elected from
among the stockholders to serve for
two years and are generally reelected
in the general stockholders meeting.
No fixed salary is paid to the members
OF the council or their afternates, but
the former receive q commission of II
per cent on the net profits of the in.
stitution. These for the fiscal year
1898 amounted to total of S3lS, 1856.
81 or $10,935 33 for each
one of them. In this man.
ner the stockholders, acting as direct.
Ors, have a great interest in the bank &
business. for the more profitable the
latter, the greater is the individual
gain. The bank maintains fourteen
branches in as many different states OF
the republic. The organization OF
these branches is extremely simple,
consisting of only four officers. who are
manager, counselor, cashier and book
keeper. Formerly they had boards OF
supervisors, which were kind OF
council of administration But az
this manner Of running the branches
caused many difficulties, they were
abolished.
Let US see how the wealth of the
bank has increased since it was estab-
lished May IL, 1884; actual value OF
oh
quotation, S139 each, 1927 800, 900; actual
valve of 10000 bonds, issued to the
founders, quoted at 500 each. $1,000,
600: entire reserve fund, Sc, 721, 656.
total, S37 ,521. 656; amount actually paid
in 1884, SIS, 600. 900; increase of original
capital, S29, 521, 656. In other words,
the original stockholders have
made in fourteen years
S2O, 81 800, an enormous amount by
an investment of So 900, 600, in addition
to the dividends earned in fourteen
years, which amount to SIS, 700 600.
Considering that the working capital
is being increased continually and that
the reserve fund is also kept growing
the stock is bound to rise in its market
value. The amount of purely CONNER.
cial paper held by the bank has grown
enormously since its foundation. AT
the close of 1884 it held SIS, $40, 4O2. As oil
such paper and at the end of 1S97sthe
amount was $50, 297, O04.75.
The banks circulation outstanding
at the same time was S23, 129 ,675,
against which S2O 746, 252 81 was held
in hard money, showing 80 per cent OF
the circulation to be secured by actual
money on hand. There are only two
banks in Europe whose note issue is
better guaranteed, that of the bank of
Russia, which has 1877 per cent and
that of England, which has 1876 per
cent of guarantee in gold or silver.
The banks of France, Germany, Scot
land and Austria, whose notes are en-.
joying the best of credit in the business
world, offer smaller guarantee than
that of the Mexican institution for
their circulation, namely 81, SO, so and
Il per cent respectively.

MANILA'S FINE HORSES.
Though Small, They Easily Carry q
Rider Weighing Two Hundred
pounds.

Among the first things to impress q
stranger in Manila are the horses. De-
scended from horses brought from
Mexico, they have become much small
er, while they are also much more
shapely. In fact, 1 have never seen q
better looking breed. There is nothing
of the pony about their shape, though
in size they range between 48 and so
inches. AT first it looked absurd to
see them ridden by big men whose
stirrups hung down to the horses
knees, but soon found out that they
easily carried rider weighing 200
pounds. The foreigners have jockey
club which holds two meetings a year
at the beautiful turf track at Santa
Mesa. To avoid sharp practice, mem
bers of the club only are eligible to
ride.
This necessitRtes a scale of weights
starting at 1872 pounds and rising to Is I
pounds. It demonstrates the speed and
strength of these miniature horses
that mile has been run in 2:1O by q
pony carrying $50 pounds. Only stall
lions are used. Mares cannot even be
brought to the city. Nobody walks:
erybody rides, and on any special
fiesta thousands of carriages fill the
streets. 1 doubt if there is city in
the world that can turn out half the
numb of private vehicles in propor-
ton to the population.-Centur Mag

indispositions. He is too busy making
money. He says he leaves sickness to the
women folks.
That Is the way men commit suicide
tens of thousands of them. A woman can
stand between this danger and her husband
if she will. A little watchfulness-a sug-
gestion now and then and little of a good
general remedy always at hand may save
her husbands life. DIR. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery is remarkable remedy
for hard working men and women. In a
certain sense, il is a cure-all for the reason
that il goes down to bedrock and cures the
disorders that are responsible for the ma
jority of serious illnesses. 1t strengthens
the stomach, and makes the appetite keen
and hearty. Ii invigorates the liver. 1t
aids the natural processes of secretion and
excretion. IL makes the assimilation of
the food perfect. 1t purifes the blood
and fills II with the life-giving elements
that build new and healthy flesh tissue. 1t
tones the nerves 1t is the great blood
maker and flesh builder. 1t cures oS per
cent. of all cases of laryngial, bronchial
throat and kindred affections which, if
neglected, lead up to consumption. 1t is
also an unfailing remedy for all nervous
disorders. An honest dealer will not urge
a substitute.
Last winter l took sick with what the doctors
called la grippe" writes Mrs. Sarah Farley, of

About one month ago my child,
which is fifteen months old, had an
attack of diarrhoea accompanied by
vomiting. | gave it such remedies as
are usually given in cases, but as moth
ing gave relief, we sent for physician
and it was under his care for a week.
At this time the child had been sick
for about ten days and was having
about twenty-five operations of the
bowels every twelve hours, and we
were convinced that unless it soon OBJ
tanned relief it would not live. Cham
berlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Kennedy was recommended, and [ de-
clded to try it. 1 soon noticed a
change for the better: by continued
use complete cure was brought about
and it is now perfectly healthy.-C. l..

How Explain This!

In spite of the fact that the
strong lines between Chicago and st.
Paul have made an open reduction of
fares of $3.50, the situation, so far as
scalping is concerned, is said to be no
better. While the railroads we're sell
ing tickets at the normal rate of 81 so
the brokers were supplying them to
the public at about IS. To prevent the
brokers from doing all of the business
the strong lines cut their rate to So.
