Banking In Switzerland.

Some Of the methods are sufficiently
antiquated, according to our standards
For instance, it requires is minutes in
which to make a deposit at bank. Ev-
cry banking house has numerous chairs
outside the railing, and the visitor is
expected to sit quietly and cultivate a
spirit of patience while the machinery
is getting under way.
A customer who wishes to make de.
posit goes to window and hands in his
money, together with memorandum of
the amount. The employee behind the
railing counts the money and prepares
a receipt for it, adding his signature by
way Of preliminary. Then a small boy
takes this receipt up stairs and submits
it to an official, who studies it and then
ponders for awhile as to whether it will
be safe to take the money
If he decides that the bank can un-
dertake the risk, he passes the receipt to
another man, who prepares duplicate
slip and makes several entries, and
finally signs his name. Then, as soon as
another man has examined the receipt
and added his name it is taken down
stairs and turned over to the depositor.
There is one satisfaction-the money is
thoroughly poated.-zurich Letter

Temper md Eootbn1l.

At football all manner of men have
played at the ends of the rush line-an
ideal man would be composite of all
the other men on the team.
He would be about feet 0 in height
and would weigh about l65 or 1Gs. He
would have the speed of half, the
quickness of quarter, the bulldog
pluck and nerve Of guard, and the
brain of captain. In addition to all
these (and contrary to the opinions of
most people) he would have a quick
temper. There is nothing in football
nor indeed in any form of athletics in
compatible with a little of the "Old
Adam, nor is there anything like an
ger to put life and fire into tired man
late in hard fought game
One can be as angry as he may and
still be gentleman. Temper, properly
directed and controlled, will add fierce
ness to ones tackles, speed to his run
ming and strength to his blocking, as
nothing else on earth will do, and many
the captains there are who, knowing
this, have stirred up their wearied men
with harsh words of command which
they themselves realized were unmeri ted
simply to make their teams work harder
and faster.-College Athlets.

Sporadic Influenza,

Scientists have INDUCED in consid-
cradle speculation as to the condition
of the influenza microbe during
those periods when the disease does
not make itself manifest. One of
the professors of the Vienna Path
illogical institute has expressed the
opinion, formed after extensive re-
search, that these germs are capable
of existence for long time in q
dormant condition. They may re-
main in the system for months
without causing any illness OF even
unpleasant symptoms. Suddenly
some favorable condition may arise
resulting in violent outbreaks of the
disease, either in the individual or
what may practically amount to an
epidemic. The bacillus of influenza
varies in size and general appear
ance from the smallest coccuslike
rod to that quite as large as the ba-
GILL of diphtheria. Professor Linden
thal's opinion does not coincide with
the opinion expressed by many OF
his contemporaries in the existence
of the SO called pseudo influenza
bacillus. New York Ledger.

Two Pointed Questions Answered.

What is the use of making a better
article thau your competitor if you
can not get a better price for it?
Ans.-As there is no difference in
the price the public will buy only the
better, SO that while our profits may
be smaller on a single sale they will
be much greater in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to
know your make is the best?
If both articles are brought promin-
emily before the public both are GER
tain to be tried and the public will
very quickly pass judgement on them
and use only the better one.

Unlonded Guns.

"Unloaded guns are the deadliest
weapons in the world" remarked a
clerk in a Royal street curio shop
'They are always going off and killing
somebody. Yesterday fellow brought
an old horse pistol into the shop. 1t was
one of the dragon model; loads with
powder and ball, you know, and uses
percussion cap. The thing was as big
as small cannon and hadn't been
fired, suppose, since the year L. The
owner assured me it wasn't loaded,
and, as there was no cap on the nipple,
handled it little more carelessly
than l otherwise would have done. We
were standing at the back door, and /
raised the hammer to see whether the
lock was still in working order.
"When l pulled the trigger, there
was an explosion that shook the house
and scared us both half out of our wits,
while the ballet hit a packing case over
there in the corner and knocked it into
smithereens. How the COMPOUNDED ma
chine happened to go off was mystery
until l closely examined the lock. Then
l saw that ar old cap had evidently
corroded and attached itself to the ham,
mer, which was slightly cup shaped at
the end, and when I cooked the weapon
it simply lifted off the nipple and came
up too. 1t was only one of the little
tricks of unloaded weapons. They are
mighty good things to let alone. -
