SOCIETY IN LONDON.
RESTS ENTIRELY ON THE
GOLD BASIS. v
n Person Has the Coin Of tho Realm,
Though He Is Black Rascal In
Other Respects. He May Purchase
Recognition of Cheap Nobility"

According to the Daily Telegraph,
many ladies of social position have
Indignantly denied the imputation that
they have allowed guests to come to
their parties on the understanding that
they should contribute something to
a charitable fund. In London, the
contributing guest is social institu-
ton. But he is generally expected to
contribute not to charity, but either to
the entertainer or to the entertainers
friends, or, if the entertainer be in
terested in politics, to party funds. On
these conditions, any he or she may
so far as going to parties is concerned
have a very pleasant time in Lon
don as well as in country houses. The
personal contributions take the form
of doing something mysterious in the
city by which money is obtained, al
though it often happens that this Ia a
mere pretext for giving.
An acquaintance of mine, pleasant
enough snob in his way, although he
would have robbed church to make
money, and would have cheerfully paid
half the plumber to secure social rec
ignition, once explained to me the
whole process. l was surprised when
he told me the sums that he had paid.
Women" he said "are never salts
fed" do they expect you to make
love to them?" l asked. "Oh, no."
he replied, there is nothing of that
sort expected. What they want is
money against invitations. And as
they have something to sell that l
want to buy, the transaction is easily
settled. l generally say that l have
made it for them in the city, but L
don't think that they really believe it..
1t is only civil way of explaining"
If my friend had not been married I
should have advised him to purchase
an aristocratic bride. AS 1t was, l rec
commended him to take big house
and give parties himself, hiring some
lady Of fashion to invite the guests.
This he did,and he is now quite shin
ing light among London entertainers,
many of his guests even going so far
as to occasionally invite him in return
to their own houses.
He asked me about politics. 1t was
perfectly Indifferent to him, he said.
which party he Joined, for his aspira-,
tions were social rather than POLITICAL
Under these circumstances l recon-
mended the tory party. He might
stand, l explained, for some place
where money was wanted, and wheth-
er he got in or not he might subscribe
to the party funds. This would Sc
cure his admission to good tory club
and to all the tory political Grams.
Only the other day he thanked me for
my disinterested advice, which has
borne excellent fruit. l have now sug-
gested to him few race horses, cot
tage at Newmarket, and yacht. I
take the greatest interest in his career,
and l expect l shall soon see him a
baronet, If not a peer.-London Truth.

Two Sympathetic Lakes.

The Wetternsee, in Switzerland, like
so many other lakes, has long enjoyed
the local reputation of being a bot
tomless pit. The Swedish scientists
have now destroyed the venerable le-
gend. says the Kleine Zeitung, for in
the measurements taken few days
ago they have successfully demon
strated that the greatest depth of the
lake is only 119 meters. There still
remains, however, a series of mystic
ries which science must be content to
leave unsolved-at least, for a time.
IL is not only legendary belief, but
there is quasi-scientific ground for
the queer supposition that living crea-
lures, animal and vegetable, can and
do make journeys to and fro between
the high northern lake of Wettern
and the South German lake of Con-
stance. This bold conclusion has been
partly justified by the appearance Of
exactly the same fauna and even OF
the same animal life in the Swedish
and the Swabian inland seas. 1t is
even asserted that whenever there is
a storm on the Lake of Constance the
Lake of Wettern begins sympathetic
cally to roll and swell, and that the
southern lake is similarly moved by
any agitation in the distant northern
lake

Low rates of interest and plethora
of money in banks and commercial
centers are a sure indication Of bust
ness stagnation. The accumulation OF
money shows that money is not being
used in enterprises and trade, the pur-
poses for which 1t was created. 1t lies
idle because business men find it I'M
profitable to invest in property while
prices are falling, says the Silver
Knight-Watchman. AS long as the
purchasing power of dollar increases.
prices must decline, and no one can
realize a profit on falling market.
If money is a drug and cannot be
loaned, it is natural that there should
be great competition in making loans.
AS every day gilt-edged securities be-
come scarcer on account of declining
values, the harder it gets for money
lenders to find the kind Of securities
upon which they are willing to part
with their money. The consequence
is, rates of interest fall with the in
crease of the boards in the banks or
safes ana the ueCTedSe vi uTSl-CldSS
securities. If times were prosperous,
and every one entered business and
made a profit, there would be great
demand for money to be used In
various enterprises. Whenever there
is a demand for money the rate of in
terest will rise, the same as when there
is a demand for any commodity the
price will rise. Business men and 9TH
ers can afford to pay higher interest II,
by using money in trade, they can
realize profit. If, however, as is now
the case, it is absolutely impossible
to make profit in any kind Of bust
ness of buying and selling property,
no enterprises will be carried on and
no money will be used.
We repeat, there is no surer evidence
of stagnation in business than low
rate of interest and large accumula-
tons of money in banks and safes.

One of the great insurance compa-
MES of the east has notified the insur-
ance commissioner of the state Of
Kansas that it will withdraw from
that state and do no more business
within its limits. The action of this
great corporation is insolent enough,
but if more states follow the example
of Kansas and compel these aggre3a-
tions of capital to contribute to the
support of the government, they will
not be so naughty. BY the time these
corporations find themselves excluded
from doing business in thirty states
of the Union, they will pause and
think. The eastern insurance COM
pany sent its message to the state COM
missioner because it knows that there
are plenty of other states with moro
lax laws than Kansas has. But II the
other states initiate Kansas, this COM
pany will either have to shut up shop
or obey the laws. And this is what
the other states ought to consider.
The insurance companies with huge
capitals are little better than tyran-
MES. They do not make an adequate
return for the privileges they enjoy.
In Germany several of our great in
surance companies were excluded al
together because they would not obey
the laws, which taxed them upon their
huge accumulations. Let us profit by
the example of Germany and then we
shall have less corporation arrogance.
Meanwhile, the example Of Kansas is
Z good one to follow.

Iron Giving Place to steel.

per cent of the entire product Of the
country is now made of steel. Up to
a few years ago wrought iron was
used almost exclusively. The lapweld
Joint proved a serious objection, and
the change to steel has been rapid and

longer life and is less liable to corro-
