New York, Aug. 3.-The most inter-
esting thing that developed yesterday
with the Mazet legislative investigat-
ing committee was the fact that every
member of the municipal council had
been subpoenaed for today for the
purpose Of determining why the pres
ent city legislative body should not
be abolished. A letter accompanying
each subpoena says: "The assembly
will be urged to convene and leglslate
against the municipal assembly, and
desire that your side of the controver-
sy shall be correctly presented"

The Two Lobes OF the Brain.

In the ordinary working of the brain
one half is more active than the other
and exercises superiority on its neigh
Dor lobe. This lobe-in ordinary per-
sons the left, Of course-is the cerebral
master. Heredity, education, or what
we wilI-all the combined influences,
in short, which mold human life-have
tended, by some process of physiological
selection, to place one lobe over the
other in point Of importance. The other
(right) lobe is the servant of the left IN
measure It's education has been neg
lected, and it requires the control Of
its better cultured neighbor in order
that life may be conducted in sensible
and sane fashion. The most hopeless
cases of insanity, Wigan would have
held, would be those in which both
hemispheres were affected. If one was
alone ailing, the other might exert
more or less control over it, and the ex~
tent of the control would depend on
which lobe exhibited the diseased &C.
ton. All degrees Of insanity or mental
arrangement could thus be accounted
for on this supposition of the relative
control Of one hemisphere by the other.
The perfect life is that in which the
better and higher half controls the
weaker and less responsible Andrew

REDUCTION IN INTEREST.
Movement for Conference of Presi-
dents of Trust COmpnnies.

There is to be q conference of the presi-
dents of the trust Companies of the city
for the purpose of considering the subject
Of the present rate of interest paid on de-
posts and what measures can be adopted
to bring about a reduction In the rate. 1t
is claimed, in view of the large amount
of money now on deposit, and the low
rate current in the investment world, that
per cent is too high a rate of interest to
he paid on deposits. 1t is asserted that it
is more than is paid In Baltimore and in
other cities.
In one instance remedy has been sought
by limiting the number of depositOrs and
refusing to accept new accounts unless the
initial deposit amounted to at least 800
In another case the method Of computing
the interest has been changed from daily
to monthly deposits, so that instead of
paying the depositor interest on his money
at the close of each business day, the nav
ment is based on the smallest amount on
deposit on any one day in each month
1t is now suggested that this period be
changed to six months and that interest
be paid on the smallest amount on deposit
on any day during the period Of six
months. 1t is also proposed that the rate
Of Interest be changed from per cent to
/ per cent. 1t Is not known, of course
what action will be taken but there seems
to be no doubt some uniform plan will he
agreed upon, the results of which will be
announced to the depositors of the re-
Spectlve companies.
