New Business for Trust Companies

New business for Trust COmDanies,
So much interest has been centered in the
operations of the banks recently that trust
companies seem to have escaped attention
That they are important factors in the
money situation at this time is evident from
the statements of officials who claim that
the percentage of the cash increase of trust
companies has been larger in proportion to
deposits during the past two or three
months than the cash gains of the banks of
the Clearing House Association.
Trust companies have figured conspic-
uously as lenders of money during the past
several weeks, and coming into direct com
petition with the bankers, have to a large
extent, influenced the loan money rates that
now prevail. 1t is an interesting fact that
the deposits of trust companies expand
more rapidly during periods of easy money
than the deposits of banks This is due
chlefy to the greater Inducements offered
by the former institutions in the way of in
terest rates
The truth is" says the president of a
large Wall street trust company, that
when people find that they are unable to
loah their money on the street at satisfac-
tory rates they Immediately deposit it with
one or more trust companies, where thew
know they will receive regularly a fair in
terest rate, besides being relieved of all
responsibility and trouble"

A Kitchen Fairy.

Really, it is the most helpful "small
thing l have tried in many a day. In
one of the papers that came to my
desk l noticed the following formula,
and knowing the cleansing properties
of each of the ingredients, I said, Il
will try that" Take five bars OF good
soar (preferably white soap,) shave
and dissolve in just sufficient water to
have it nice and smooth. When dis
solved add two rounded ta~blespoonfuls
of powdered borax, and n common
sized ~teacupful of kerosene. Beat in
we'll, so as to thoroughly incorporate
the kerosene. Stir occasionally while
cooling, so the coal oil will not rise to-
the top, pour into a jar, and the
fairy will help cleanse many a soiled
utensil or garment with a minimum
outlay of strength.

Pastoral Tribes.

Lake Kivu. which is some $50 miles
west of Victoria, Nyanza, is very deep,

Of large offers, and the typical bird is

hills, which appear to have been
sprinkled out with a pepper pot till
not a single one more could find room.
The hills are covered with magnificent
pasture, which affords grazing for the
lage herds of cattle owned by the
Watsui. The people are known col
Iectively as the Wakuanda, and So
cieyt is divided into two classes, the
Watsui being the a~ristocrats. They are

ADMIRAL SIMPSONS WISH.

He wanted a Watermelon and Surely 1t

The law of coincidence works won
ders. During the blockade of Santi-
ago Admiral Sampson and his officers
were sitting one more than sultry day
upon the deck of the flagship New
York. 1t was too hot for conversation,
and almost blinked and glared. The
silence was broken by one who said:
Next to having a brush with the
~Spaniards I'd like to have a Georgia
watermelon"
The suggestion brought a smile to
every face, which widened when the
admiral echoed, ga watermelon? /
want two for myself"
A moment afterward the quarter
master announced the arrival of a boat
from a supply ship which had just
come in from New York city, and adj
ded, "The boat is full of Georgia wa
termelons off the ice."
Red tape was disregarded, and soon
all on board, from the admiral down,
were having n of the most enjoyable
feasts of the war. When it was over
the officers tried to find how it was
that their wishes were so promptly
answered, but although they came
near the truth they never learned the
true story Of the coincidence.
Mrs. Van Brunt, a New York artist
and a member of the patriotic organ
izations which were brought into be-
ing by the Spanish-American war,
heard one day of the excitement pro-
duced on the Texas by the arrival of
a large but somewhat ~dilapidated wa
termelon from home. The story
touched her, and the same day she Sc
cured several barrels of the choicest
fruit and shipped them by the first
supply ship going to Santiago.
The captain of the vessel was court
eous and obliging, and when told OF
the consignment put every one of the
melons on ice and agreed to send them
to the Texas the moment she arrived
at her destination, and in the event OF
the Texas not being there to present
them to the admiral in charge.-Phil-
adelphia Saturday Evening Post.

Every woman can, if she will, culti-
vate the ~self-control that subdues the
manifestation Of feeling in frowns Dr.,
excessive laughter, says the Baltimorei
Herald. Poise of n may be made
merely the outward expression of poise
of mind, and the many little worries
of life can be relegated to their proper
place as trifles. True reposefulness is
not the absence of strength, but it's
assured possession. Mothers should be
observant of any tendency in their
growing children to undue facial dis
tortion in speaking and gently remind
them Of it until the habit is cured. 1t
is difficult for the adult to dismiss a
habit once formed, but it would be
wise for every young woman and man
to establish a close surveillance over
their manner of using the muscles of
the face in speaking. Many of them
would be surprised to find that every
sentence is a fresh grimace.
