Secretary Gage And
The National City
Bank.

Ine faV0rS SHOWN Oy the secretary
of the Treasury to the National City
Bank of New York by depositing
tOith it large amounts of Govern
ment funds have aroused a storm
of protest from the opposition press
in the United States, and even
many Republican papers criticized
the action OF The administration.
The Bark is said to h o ! d
on deposit, without interest, over
$17,OOO,OOO of Government money.
For the use of this money it pays
the Government nothing. Money
in Wall street has lately been worth
from 6 to II per cent. At the legal
rate of interests per cent.-the
SIT, 100000 of Government deposits
which the National City Bank now
hold would yield profit to the bank
of 81, 600, 900 if all of 1t were loaned
in Wall street.
This fayOritism has created much
discomfort among the other National
banks, and many of the New York
papers denOunce it in severe terms.
But the eliminating point in the
matter seems to have been reached
in connection with the sale to the
Bank of the old Custom House in
New York.
On July 2 last the Government
sold to the National City Bank the
old Custom House property at Wall
and William streets for So, ,265, 900.
The sale GOas made under provisions
of a special act Of Congress provi-
ding that the purchaser of the old
Custom House should permit the
Government to continue to occupy
it until the ne2c Custom House qcas

Neither Saved Nor Earned.

Railroad people have an arrange
ment by which they can register the
speed of train. 1t looks like steam
gauge and Is connected with the axle,
SO that the pointer registers the num-
Der of revolutions every minute. There
are so many revolutions to the mile,
and by an ingenious arrangement the
number of miles an hour is shown up
on the dial. The apparatus is expen-
sive as well as delicate.

first to adopt it, and shortly after u

Interesting characteristics of Lob

HOLSTERS, when young and frivolous,
change their shells several times n
year, but as they grow older and. pre-

with n new suit every summer. The
lobster is his own tailor. and persons
who have watched the process say
that the difficulty seems to lie in get
ting rid of the old garb and not in fit
ting the new. First he is attacked by
} series of commissions lasting for sew
eral days. During these a faint line
of breakage appears down the middle
of the back. which gradually grows
broader with every spaSm. The head
piece is the first to break entirely. and
suddenly violent effort enables the
lobster to withdraw his head, leaving
the larger part of his eyes in the shell.
After a rest of few hours the Strug-
gle begins again. and the shoulders. or
large claws, emerge, with effort SO cX-
hausting that nearly day is required

During this time he presents n curl

tail incloSed. Then the con .ulsivc
movements are resumed. and Sell by
Shell the tail covering is loosened. I'M
til, with violent struggles, the tail is
free. and the lobster, looking as if he
had been boiled. lies down for n sleep
of two or three days.

rapidity and fits in perfect tailor made
