When ready for firing the base sheIl

IL is filled with some high explosive ana

But the distinguishing feature IF the

ENORMOUS SAVINGS.
Common People of France Have
1861 BIS, 700 Laid Away in the
Postal savings Banks.

France has always been noted as
country where the common people were
peculiarly given to saving their money.
The government report on the opera
ton Of the French savings banks for
1897 gives an approximate idea of what
might be accomplished in this country
by means of the postal savings sys-
TEN, In France there are 5A5 savings
banks with 1,1S1 branches. The num-
Der of bank books in use at the close of
the year was G,772,5s2, and the sum due
depositors had reached the enormous
total of S661, 329 700, or about two
thirds of the national debt of the
United States. The receipts earned and
srrearages left on deposit, amounted
to $i61, 158,091. and the interest account
footed up S19,3OO,OOO. The development
of savings in France is shown by the
fact that in 1855 there were only four
depositors for every 1000 Of the poPu-
lation. while now there are II for each
1000. or a depositor for every SO per-

recently met with serious reverses. Sir
George began his career as warrior
in the famous Indian mutiny of 1868,
and for two splendid acts of courage in
the Afghan war at a later date he wears
on his breast the most coveted of all
decorations for an English soldier, the
cross for yalor." In positions of COM
mand he has shown himself an excellent
organizer and most able administrator.
Vacating the leadership of brigade
in India to assume that of one on service
in upper Burmah, he eventually became
the head of the upper Burmah field
force, and during his three years ten
ure of that office brought the prolonged
military operations in that country to
a completely successful termination.
