A walk down the main or branch paths or the mortuary set apart at, the BritiSh Museum for these mayfiies or ephemerae e of the printing press might invite to flu nereal reflection on ink slung In vain on paper misspent. Yet 1t would seem that a very live industry is connected with the the elimination of old numbers. and that these must be deposited within easy reach of London. Hence the British Museum is going to spend 1s0Oo pounds on new old newspaper site. The papers are to be carted off to Tendon and there deposited not in the lake. but in building made expressly for them. The files can be or dered up to one of the reading rooms of the British Museum as required.

New York April 5.--(Special.) IA unique tribute to the fidelity, ability and con servatism with which the immense trust funds of the Mutual Life Insurance Com pany of New York have been invested and administered during the nine years of it's existence Is contained in the last clause of the will recently filed of the lete Frederick D.

 At meeting of the New York Clearing House Association. held in memory of Mir. Happen, March 10, the Hon. J. Ed ward Simmons, President of the Fourth National Bank, said:
 Tn times of financial peril. he was all
 
 tive counsellor. and on each occasion when loan certificates were issued, 1875 1884, 1890 and 1893, he. Chairman of the Loan Committee. piloted many tottering institution through troubled waters. Who of us can eyer forget the great financial battle of 1893 and the glorious victory achieved by the Associated Banks of New York under the brilliant generalship of MT. Tappen?'
 He was chairman of the Clearing House Loan Committee in 1Sl3. when s26, 5So, 600 of certificates were issued; in 1884. when $24.91500O were issued. and In 1892, when $41, 490.dQ0 were issued

 Land at 2,si3, 600 pounds an acre does not frequently come into the market, even Tn London, but a few years ago, when the freehold of 5f Cheapside W as sold the sum it realized was at the above rate per acre: that Is to say. a piece or ground that could be covered by an or dinary penny postage stamp realized 1s' il l-2d., not at all a bad price for a pal try five-sixths of q square inch of estate to attain.
