PROFIT SHARING IN BANK.
a National Institution In st. Louis
TO Make the Experiment.
from the ST. Louis Globe Democrat

From the st. Louis Globe Democrat.
The National Bank Of Commerce Of this
city will put into effect in 1900 a plan for
the creation Of an officers and employees
pension fund and a profit participation
fund. The officers of the bank have been
at work on the plan for some time. and it
awaits only the ratification of the stock
holders of the bank at the annual meet
ing. There is said to be no doubt of the
adoption of the plan, which will set a
new mark in banking and financial meth
DDS, and at the same time aid in the solu-
ton of an important economic problem.
The plan as outlined by the board of
directors, provides for the setting aside
annually from the earnings of the bank
OF sum not to exceed 10 per cent. of the
amount left after providing for losses
and dividends From this will be created a
pension fund for the relief of aged sick,
or disabled employees who have been in
the service of the institution for five years
or more, and also a fund to be divided
annually among the employees in proper
ton to their respective salaries. The two
funds will not be supported by coutrlhu-
tons from the men, and there will be no
requirements for participation aside from
faithful and continued service with the
institution.
A feature of the plan is the provision
that after the pension fund shall have
reached the sum of. 100000 1t shall not be
allowed to fall below this sum, provision
being made at the close of any year to
take the necessary amount TO bring it up
to this total from the net profits.

From the London Spectator.

The Chinese minister is profoundly af-
fected, as we all are, by the result OF the
building of Babel The numerous Ian
gauges sub-languages, and dialects of
the world hinder seriously, he thinks, the
progress and unity of mankind We are
not so sure about the progress, though we
admit the unity in great part Those who
have studied most profoundly the history
OF an important part of mankind-viz,
Europe, have been of opinion that the
diversity of Europe has been it's leading
progressive element.
Suppose that at the overthrow of the
Western Empire some one OF the great
Teutonic tribes had imposed its language
on Europe, or that the debased Latin of
the fifth century, had been received and
assimilated everywhere. Europe might
have been in consequence unit to-day,
but the rich ana varied growths of Euro
pean literature would not have existed.
Uniformity would have prevailed, and the
impact of mind on mine, of race on race,
of speech on speech, of thought on
thought would have been lost to man
kind. Think of Europe in which French,
English, Italian, Spanish and German lit
erature had never come to the BIRTH but
in which some one great tongue had tried
in vain to express mans varied mind.
The Chinese minister, coming from a
vast and comparatively uniform empire,
can perhaps scarcely realize with ade-
quate force what we In Europe should
have lost. Nor are we quite sure that the
unity would have been gained in anything
like the degree supposed. Unity and uni
formity are very different things; and the
profoundest unity ever effected, or that
can be effected, was produced by a relig-
ion which was developed in great cosmo-
politan cities where scores of languages
were spoken by its converts. We remem-
ber of course the great aid rendered by
Greek to Christianity, but it was an aid
on the side of everyday human speech,
Racial unity is the next great uniting
bond. but racial unity is not the same as
linguistic unity: and we see to-day people
| like the Belgians and French, the Ital-
| ians of Italy and those of Switzerland the
Englsh-speak jewellers in the United
| States and Canada-lving close together
| speaking the same language and yet not
! fused or completely united.

this last week. We will tell you, the
treatment is the best and the Cosmopoli-
tan has $4,000 to introduce 1t. They have
proven what 1t will do, and now they give
the entire public Of Savannah a chance

a success the Doctors could not or would
not be willing to give It public test.

HORSES WITH HUMAN SENSE.


Midnight Banquet in the Barn.
A man up in Maine recently bought
gray horse that has proved so clever he
says he would not sell him for five times
what he paid far him. relates the New
York Mail and Express.
After he bought him he sent him TO
lodge at a big livery stable where an in
genious device was arranged by which the
horses were all fed at 4 o'clock every
morning. The device consisted of two
alarm clocks which were set TO go off a
o'clock A heavy weight was so ar
ranged that when the alarm started the
weight would drop and pun a wire which
opened the trap doors and the feed than
came tumbling down into the hangers of
the horses After the arrival of the gray
horse 1t was noticed that all of the horses
became very hungry long before noon each
day. This could not be accounted fer until
some one stood watch to see what caused
this state of affairs. Then il was discoV-
cred that the gray horse was the criminal.
After the horses were fed al night and
had eaten all that was given them the
gray horse reached up, and taking the
wire in his mouth, pulled upon it. Down
came into the managers the feed that was
intended to fall at o'clock. OF course
the horses proceeded to eat IL at once,
and before noon were very hungry. A man
now feeds the horses, and the gray horse
pulls the wire in vain.

"I recall seeing horse deliberately COM

he had been deserted for three days"
said an old miner to a Washington star
reporter.
1.-The horse was owned by a man named
Jim Kelly, a well known prospector, who
| in July 1897, came into Grand Forks, j.
| c.. after an absence in the mountains of
| several weeks. The animal was nothing
| but a common cayuse, on which Kelly
| sometimes rode and sometimes packed his
| outfit when the trails were steep and diff
curt Naturally, the man and horse be-
came attached to each other by their
| close companionship.
ION one of Kelly's trips TO town he in
dulged in a prolonged spree. and when he
| had neglected the stable for three days
the cayuse broke his halter and started
! 90 hunt him up. He made a bee line for
| the hotel, where he had often gone with
Him. walked up the steps to the porch and
peered anxiously through the windows in
| search OF his master. For fifteen or TWEEN
| ~ minutes he walked up and down the
| porch wfhinnTng as though IN great
pain. Then, after a long hook into the
windows. he left the porch, and, with
head hanging near the ground. he walked
| into a stream OF water. about three feet
deep lay down on his side and buried his

us who were unable TO reach him in time

Anthropology of the war.

A correspondent who is interested in
anthropology sends us the following
notes: Looking to the mixed origin of
the British people, it is interesting to
note the types of distinguished gener-
ais and others in the war. Lord Rob-
erts has an Irish face, not easy to an
alyze racially. but with features of the
true Gauls, who were accounted the
best soldiers of antiquity Sir Red
vers Butler has Devonshire type of
face, which, like that of Gen. Keke-
witch, is rather Celtic than Saxon,
though probably partaking of both
characters. Gen. French has more of
the Anglo-Saxon type, but his deep-set
eyes are not a characteristic of that
type in it's purity. Lord Methuen and
Gen. Macdonald have Scotch faces, the
latter typically Highland, with dim
pie on his chin" and with traits of the
Scandinavian type so common in the
Highlands. Sir George White might
be either Scotch or Northern Irish.
and seems to show both Cymrian and
Scandinavian traits. The bugler Dunn
and his father have Irish types of
face, like so many of the Manx peo-
ple.-London News.

QUEER Fox-HouNDs I'm MAINE
Peculiar Breed Evolved by the Needs
of Aroostook County.

Peculiar Breed Evolved by the Needs
of Aroostook County.
The three chief products of Aroos-
took county, Maine, are said to be po-
tatoes, politicians and red foxes. A
year ago Charles E. Oak of Caribou,
Land Agent and Forest Commissioner
for Maine, told legislative committee
fox pelts year for ten years without
diminishing the supply. Hunters from
Boston and Worcester, Mass, who have
shot and trapped foxes in Aroostook,
say that Mr.. Oaks estimate is too low
by half. The great wine-red fox that
will run for days without firing: that
doubles and turns TO laugh at the dogs,
and then goes on refreshed from the
exercise, reaches fullest perfection in
Aroostook county. OF the 10000 or
10000 foxes taken in Aroostook this
winter, more than half were caught in
traps. Nearly all the others were shot
while running before the patient and
slow-footed hounds that abound in
northern Maine. The Maine foxhound
is hunting machine that was devel-
oped for certain purpose. The result
of fifty years breeding is short
legged, deep-chested, slow-running race
of dogs that will run day and night
without firing, breed that will an
noy foxes and cause them to run in
more or less restricted circles, and
brighten them enough to cause them to
hole. The Maine hound to be of value
must also be taught to hunt singly, so
that if hunter takes out a half-dozen
dogs for days hunt every dog will
pick up track of his own and follow
it to the death. 1t is not a surprising
feat for hunter with six hounds to
go out in the morning and return at
night with ten or twelve pelts. AS the
skin of the Aroostook red fox is worth
anywhere from $1.25 to $3.50, the oc-
cupation is profitable as we'll as pleas
ing.
