quired for these two purposes. And
upon this came the demand for loans
by German houses to enable them to
tide over the end of the half year. With
money cheap in New York, and very
much wanted In Germany, there was
every inducement for the German
houses to apply to the New York bank
ers, and for the latter to lend. BY using
their surplus balances abroad bankers
are able to obtain better rates at home
as the pressure of money upon the
market is thus reduced. The gold held
by the New York banks amounts 10

HENRY cLEWEs ON 3. & A.
Henry Clews says:

Henry ClewS says:
The reported deal between the New
York Central people and the managers
of the Boston & Albany was in the main
| a surprise to the market, but produced
only temporary effect on prices. The
significance of the transaction is some
what Of a mystery, and the fact that its
| meaning Is only guessed at neutralizes
| It's effect on values The unprecedented
length Of the lease, 500 years, and the
| guaranteeing of per cent. dividends on
the stock for that period, excite consid-
cradle comment, and it is not easy to
conceive what reasons may have led to
these extraordinary conditions.
Among railroad capitalists, the deal
excltes the less surprise, because the
| opinion has been gaining ground that
| there is no real remedy for destructive
| competition among the roads except
| through a series Of consultations that
Will create. a, series of amalgamated
groups out of the several lines con-
Meeting the Atlantic seaboard with the
west. Discussion Of this question has
developed into general plan of provin-
| ctal federation of roads, embracing on
the one hand the Erie, Delaware &
| Laekawanna and the Delaware e Hud-
SON in alliance with the New York Cen
tral; and, on the other hand, an alliance
| or the Lehigh Valley & Reading COM
panies In conjunction with the Pennsyl-
| vania company; while the Baltimore e.
Ohio might unite its interests with the
southern combination Of roads. These
| consultations are not expected to be
early achievements, nor to be prena-
| turely forced, but to wait for convent
emit conditions for their contamination.
| fBut the scheme has gained such a
| firm position in the convictions of rail-
road men, that 1t is very naturally rea-
f11nt
acquisition Is first step in this direc-
ton. its object being to bring one Of the
principal New England lines into har-
monlous cooperation with the New
York Central There appears to be
some reason to suppose that a similar
arrangement is under contemplation as
between the Vanderbilt roads and New
York, New Haven & Hartford, which
receives some plausibility from the sup
posed achievement effected in connec-
ton with the Boston & Albany
The advance and strength of the
Vanderbilt stocks lead to the belief, re-
ferred to above, that an important
scheme of connection between the New
York Central, the Boston e. Albany and
the. F'itchburg roads is near at hand
| from which New York Central will de-
rive great benefit While Northwest
| and Omaha may not be taken in on the
same basis at present, owing to the fact
| that they are controlled by ownership
Of majority of the stock by the VAN
derbilt family, to all intents and pur-
poses they are under the control Of New
York Central and the same may be as
| sumed as the case with Union Pacific,
thus giving direct and permanent
system or transportation from the At
lantic to the Pacific under one central
lied influence and policy Of manage

Boys ESSAY ON PoLITENESS.
Delicious Philosophy in Regard to the
Treatment of Girls.

Delicious Philosophy in Regard to the
Treatment of Girls.
PoliteneSS is rather q difficult thing,
especially when you are making a start,
says a boy, quoted by London Tit-Bits.
Many people haven't got it. l don't
know why, unless it is the start. 1t is
not polite to fight little boys except they
throw stones at you. Then you can run
after them and when you've caught
them, just do a little bit at them, that's
all. Remember that all little boys are
simpletons, or they wouldn't do it.
1t is not the thing to make fun of a
little chap because he Is poorer han
you. Let him alone if you don't want to
play with him, for he is as good as you
except the clothes. When you are in
school, and a boy throws a bit of bread
or anything at you owe the desks, it is
not polite to put your tongue out at him,
or to twiddle your fingers in front Of
your nose. Just wait till after school,
time; or, If you find you are bound to hit
him, be pretty easy with him.
Some boys are very rude over their
meals. Don't keep On eating after you
are tightening and you will be far more
happier. Never Eat quickly, or you
might get bones in your throat. My
father knows Of a boy who got killed
over his Sunday dinner. The greedy
boy was picking a rabbits head in a
hurry and swallowed one jaw Of it,; and
my father says he was choked to death
there and then. Be very polite over
your meals, especially when it's rabbits.
Since my father told me that l have al
ways felt rather queer we a rabbit
dinner.
1t is not polite to leave victuals on
your plate, especially anything you
don't like. If you don't like turnips it
is better to eat well into your turnips
first, while you are hungry. and you'll
eat the meat and potatoes easy enough
after.
Boys should always be polite to girls,
however vexing they may be. Girls are
not SO strong az boys, their hair is long
and their faces are prettier; so you
should be gentle with them. If a girl
scratches you on the cheek, or splits in
your face, don't punch her and don't
tell her mother. That would be mean.
