KING GEORGE OF GREECE.
A Popular Sovereign and His Per-

Paris Correspondence Of the London Globe,
King George of Greece has arrived
in the French capital, where he will
remain a few days on pleasure bent.
Apart from being a king, he is re-
markable parsonage in many respects.
He is both grave and serious, and ut
the same time gay and amiabe. When
he presides over Tho cabinet councils
held at the palace he astonishes his
ministers by the clearness of his juds-
ment, his great perspicacity, and a
good humor which never leaves him.
After the council he has always kind

was midshipman in the Danish navy
he never dreamed that he would lE
the successor of King Otho of Bavaria.
The national assembly proclaimed
him King of the Hellenes on March

having been born on December "a,

he arrived at Athens, and on the NOR
row he took the oat tn and mounted the
throne.

CHINESE RANKING SYSTEM.
Conditions Make Safe Deposits a
Matter of Necessity.
From the Forum.

From the Forum.
The insecurity of Chinese houses and
the danger from fire. make banks of
deposit necessity. All classes in
China have bank accounts. The busi-
ness of the banks is to discount paper,
20 negotiate bills of exchange, to loan
money on land or on personal property
and to buy and sell the precious
metals, There is no government limit
to their establishment. They sell bills
of exchange. at short dates to any
point in China, The Hong Kong and
Shanghai Banking Corporation and
other foreign banks have largely in
terfered with the sale of foreign bills
and bills running for a long time.
The banks ordinarily, except in Peliin,
pay interest on deposits, sometimes on
Gaily balances. They agree also to
give the parties every facility for bor-
rowing. The custom Is that q deposit
tor can obtain on his paper as a loan.
twice the amount of his deposit, but
only for a few days accommodation.
Deposits may be withdrawn at will
ard the interest, except in Pekin, Is
allowed up to the date of withdrawal.
The foreign banks also pay interest

! fixed terms. The Hong Kong and
| Shanghai Banking Corporation pays
| five per cent on fixed deposits. The
bank, for a consideration, guarantees
the paper of its customers. 1t some-
times hapepns here, as elsewhere, that
the deposits are ten or fifteen times
greater than the capital of the bank.
There exists in Pekin a clearing
house system which will compare ia
vorably with that OF New York. Each
depositor receives from his banker a
book with two columns, in one of
| which will he entered his deposits, and
in the other to his debit all the sums
he may disburse. He then sends all
his creditors to his banker to be paid,
and in the evening he sends his book
to his bankers. The next morning the
clerks OF the various banks get to-
gether and indicate In their books che
various sums that they are to dis
burso or to receive for their patrons.
The i"'."oes are paid In cash, or are
left to 81, nj over on interest until the
end of the year 1t is said that the
hanks assist each other in case of dlf-
ficulty, and that they extend the time
of payment to any solvent bank re-
quiring it.

FAME AND THE BREAD TREE.
A Fable Which Conveys Seasonable
and Valuable Moral.

ldNct Holt Cahoon, in Success.
once upon a time--so the story goes
three young men, having completed
their college course, decided that they
would devote their lives to striving
TO reach the Temple of Fame. Each
laid out q plan by which he deemed
it might in time be attainG, Each
longed to hear the world ring with
praise of his endeayor and success.
The first man bent all his energies in
the direction of science. He ploidpl
and delved. and finally died without
having seen so much as the pinnacle
of the great Temple of Fame. The
second man shut himself up with the
muses., and toiled day and night with
out ceasing. He. toJ, died, having
achieved nothing, unknown and un-
mourned. The third man, busted with
the tasks of each day, almost forgot
about the Temple of Fame in the ab-
sorbing interests of life; and one day
he loved woman, and married her,
and, in his happiness and the COM
pleteness of his life, entirely forgot
the plan to seek the Temple of Fame
Tie toiled early and late for his loved
ones, who were the spur to his best
cndeavor. One day, as he was out
on the highway in quest of bread for
his wife and his little ones, he discov-
cred at some distance, n magnificent
edifice. Filled with surprise that he
had never noticed it before, he placed
| his well-hlled basket under the bread
| tree for few moments, and turned
/ his footsteps in the direction of the
| beautiful building. He explored It
! thoroughly from the grand portal 10
the lofty dome, and then, emerging
therefrom, once more took up his bas-
| ket, and turned homeward filed with
joy at what he had seen. Soon he met
an aged pilgrim journeyng in the di-
rection of the magnificent structure;
and him he questioned as to what II
might be. "That building is the Tenn
pie of Fame" replied the old man

For a man of brains and industry the

sources of these islands constitute ja

will put this town still further ahead

provement. This contract calls for a
complete change in the water system
from gravity to compressed, air to sus-
tain pressure. 1t is step that is taken
after over year of investigation of the
subject. The contract is made with j. L.
White OF Perry, ILL.,, and calls for the
removal of the present tank and the in
stallation in Its place of two huge tubular
tanks with air compressor, engines and
everything complete. together with
brick building to enclose it all. The eff
feet of this will be to take our present
splendid mineral water. put 1t under a
pressure of over fifty pounds and to
keep 1t that way until released at the
hydrant. thus affording absolutely pure
water in its natural state and tempera-
ture. The principal fault with the pres
ent gravity or tank system is that the
water becomes too warm in summer and
too cold In winter, while in its natural
state 1t is Just right to make good drink
