1t is a tair question just how far teh
United States treasury should 20 tow
ard relieving the financial stringency''
that exists in the money centres and
which recently produced asmall panic.
The stringeney seems to be mostly cor
| fined to these centres and results from
the excessive speculation that has tax
en- place Of late, more than from any
other one cause. Banks find their sur
plus and deposits decreasing, owing to
the sharp call for money in all direc-
tions to carry on the immense volume
OF business. They are unable to loan
at the low rates that make operations
in the stock market safe, and in conse-
quenee stocks fall and in many cases
are heavily sacrificed. There is no
trouble with the stocks-most of them
they are paying better than ever as
investments. General business con-
tinues in a most llourishing state. All
lines are very profitable, and the en-
pioyes are sharing to the extent which
greatly increases their buying capaci-
ty and still further tends to stimulate
production. The people at large seem
to have plenty Of money. which may
be the reason why the banks in the big
centers haven't 1t. At any rate, spec
ulatiye circles are the only ones that
are now complaining. Atthelr bidding,
the secretary OF the treasury has de-
cided to make certain banks the depos-
itories of the internal revenue receipts.
as they are paid in, until the treasury
needs them. The banks must deposit
an equal amount in United States
bonds with the treasurer as security.
On these bonds the bank draws inter
est from the government, of course.
while it also loans the money it holds
and secures another interest rate. while
aiding to relieve the money stringcncy.
About a million dollars day is thus
made available. This step is being
criticised very sharply, as one to make
the government pull the Spectators
chestnuts out of the fire. If their in
terests only were likely to be involved.
it is improbable that lie government
would take such a step, but were mon
ey to continue scarce long it would
speedily affect general business and
widespread disaster might ensue. The
government ought not to hold much
money idle for any length of time. a
that is pure waste, but it does seem rs
If some different means might be en-
ployed than letting it pass through GER
tain pet banks. Ii there is any profit
in loaning it, why should not the GOV
eminent itself enjoy it instead? We
appreciate that this money question is
a big one and probably viii never he

a few, in all particulars.

MONEY MAKING ELEPHANTS.

There Are THEE in L%ondon's Zoo Which
Earn'&1O,OOO a Year.
Three elephants earn $40, 900 a year.
This is $4,000 more than the salary OF
a member of the Presidents Cabinet,
and $4,000 less tlan the income of an
Admiral in the navy. These elephants
are at the London Zoo, and they earn
their money by carrying on their
backs the patrons of the gardens.
Every AIRY takes his 'Arriet and HES
him to the Zoo on bank holidays, and
fos five cents they can jog about the
ring on the back of one of the ele-
plants.
The elephants are stationed in diff
ferent parts of the Zoo and there
seems to be a bit of professional
jealousy between them. Apparently
they are on very good terms between
hours, but when business is brisk
and the largest one is coming money,
for he is the favorite, the other two
try to lash him with their trunks as
he passes.
The large elephant is a fralc:al
record breaker. He is the senior
member so to spe,k. On one holiday
he carried 1900 persons.
There are camels which ore sought
after by those who are left out in the
scramble Cor the elephants. but the
old patrons of the Zoo say the uneven
motion of a camel is only appreciated
by an old salt who is most at home on
al exceedingly choppy sea. The
cameis are too cultivated a taste for
the ordinary mortal.
Three camels earn about $1,000 a
year. but they cost less to keep than
their more successful brothers. The
eat up most of their profits. |
The greatest numbers Of visitors to
the Zoo in u day was ~, 900, and
an average of 500 rounds OF dainties
were fed to the brothers Of the royal |
executioner o? India.

therefor Is that ~''soeiety" 10 abandon.
ing the idea that Church connection
is necessary to social standing and
moral RESPECTABLE lity. Thers may be
some force in this contention, but
certainly the constant increase in
church membership does not bear It
out. The chief secret of the excess Of
clergymen is that young men are n
couraged to enter the ministry with.
outreference..to whether there IL q field
for their services. It is forgotten that
the prosaic law of supply and demand
APPLIES to the ministry as we'll as to
other kinds Of activity and that an ex-

TRAVEL BY STAGE COACH.

How the New E~nglanders Went Oh Their
Journeys Many Years Ago.
In lecture in the free municipal
purse the Hon. George G. Croker,
chairman Of the railroad commission,
told many interesting facts regarding
the early means of transportation in
Boston. During the first third of the
present century stage lines increased
greatly in number and gave a more
frequent servicel The stage coaches
Nor long Obstacles generally accom-
ia'sda-..erA71fe passengers inside and
four or five on the roof, one sitting
with the driver. The back part Of the
roof was reserved for the baggage.
The stages for distant points left early
as early as 4 a. NJ, and sometimes
2 a. nj. 1t took Mr.. Quincy and
Judge Story four days to get to New
York, and Mr.. Quincy congratulated
himself in a letter on living in the
days of quick travel. 1t took them
eight days to go from Boston to
Washington.
In 1892 there were ninety-three
lines Of coaches running out of Bos-
ton, some of them making trips twice
or three times a week. The average
number of coaches leaving Boston
each day for points more than six
miles distant was sixty-three. An ex-
animation of Badger & Porter's stage
register showed that in the first third
of this century stages On the main
routes travelled at the rate, including
stops, of four or five miles an hour.
In 1882 the schedule time trip to New
York was forty-one hours, travelling
night and day, or triie over five
miles an hour.
AS the number of stage lines in
creased fares decreased, and in 1882
the fare to New York was $11, or )
cents per mile. But stage coaches did
not carry freight, which could only be
profitably by canal. AS the
great water routes did not connect
with Boston, a canal was built at
Lowell to a junction with the Mystic |
near Boston, and opened for
in 1903. It was used for fifty
years, and was fi~fty-seven miles long.
After the opening of the Erie canal
Ibis state considered the scheme to
connect Boston with the Hudson river,
the Eaoosick tunnel, at an
estimated cost of Sc, 600, 900. In OPP
position came the scheme for a horse
abroad, and this was much encour-
'ged by the successful construction of
'uch a road by Mr. Bryan from Quincy
o the Neponset river, for the purpose
If carrying granite with which to build
he Bunker Hill monument. This
vas the first railroad in America, and
be called the germ of American
abroad and steam railway. Several
Iorse railroads followed, including
ne between Boston and Providence.
