The Bank for Savings, which Is 81
years old, has the heaviest dormant &C.
count in New York, about 100000, in
which 1000 accounts are tied up, re-
ports the Press, Of that city. OF these
the ownership 4ot about 200 are solved
each year, and TO this account are
added about so, which, after the lapse
of 81 years without being touched, are
entitled to enter the dormant class.
But in these days the bank does not
allow accounts to rest 50 long, and
after ten years have elapsed search
is made and the depositors located.
After that the bank keeps informed
Of their whereabouts each year. In
1919, the year when the bank first
opened it's doors, a church mission in
New York made deposit in the name
of Mission of Jerusalem" The amount
deposited was small, but it was 81
years before that amount and interest
was paid to the proper church author

zone Of the oldest cases which I
have seen since I took hold of this

for Savings, "was that Of colored
girl who lived four miles from Ja-
maica. The pastor of the family while
making call one day saw the children
playing with a soiled and torn bank
book. They had scrubbed over the
leaves and were tossing the book
about. No one in the family seemed to
understand what the book was, and
the pastor looking at it and seeing
that it was one Of our pass books,
advised them to bring it to the bank.

the account saw that it called for sev-

Australia has one of the most suit
able orange growing districts of the
world. What apple culture is in Eng
land that of the orange is in New
South Wales, the Parramatta district.
near Sydney, being to Australia what
Kent, with its countless luxuriant
orchards, is to the United Kingdom.
The scenery of the Parramatta river
is not unlike that of the Thames
above Richmond, only more roma tic
end beautiful, especially during
springtime, when the wonderful pro-
fusion of wild flowers imparts an ad-
ditional charm to the picture. Even
the masses of rock, which in many
places rise boldly from the edg* S of
the stream, are decked with bright
colored clusters of Australian native
flowers of the most lovely and varied
description.
The trees also claim a large share
of admiration not only from the lover
OF the beautiful in azure, t also
from the unitarian, for they ire ,!e
the orange, with its bright green foil
age and dainty white flowers or rich
golden fruit both seen on the tree
at one and the same time. The orange
is not only picturesque adjunct to
the garden, but also more than re-
pays the trouble and cost of cultiva-
ton. In the Parramatta district rich
and luscious oranges are as plentiful
as blackberries in an English country
lane during the autumn time.

Skin sewing Machine.

A sewing machine for the skin is a
recent French notion. It was exhibit
ed by DR.. Paul Michel, of the late con-
>gress of medicine, and is, of course, in
tended for the use of surgeons. The
instrument is quite small, easily held
in the hands, and has received the Bar
bier prize of the Faculte de Medicine.
In future surgeon need not slowly
stitch the edges of a wound. With the
left hand he keeps the two lips togeth-

means of little clasps of Tag ra fas" of

As far as the A. s. s. Co. Is concerned, the Dolphin and Seattle will not race on thelr next trip north. Just before the Dolphin left Seattle on her last trip, the following circular was handed Capt. Hunter; "On vour next trip north the Seattle leaves on the same date. Rumors have spread that the two fast boats would race. You are hereby notified that you arc to leave Seattle on tlme, April 20. go to Vancouver and make your regular calls at all customary ports. If the Seattle comes up with you. proceed on vour way under regular steam. This company val ues the lives of Its passengers more than the credit of winning little race. There fore no racing"

The Life Of circu. People.

Circus people are pretty clannish.
From generation to generation they
are circus people, and the generations
do not perish off the face of the earth
nearly so fast as the insurance COM
panies seem to think. There are plen-
ty of good performers that will never
see 60 again, and some that are as years
old and still as supple as you could
wish for man so years younger.
More than in any other branch of the
amusement business is the family life
kept up, for every woman who travels
with circus must have a natural pro-
tector with her. If it isn't father, or
a brother, it must be husband, and
as circuses don't carry people around
with them just for the pleasure of
their company, the women marry in
the profession and bring up their chill
dren to it. The little boy you see rid
ing around so gaily on his daddy's head
has to learn his lessons here just the
same as if he went to school.-Wom-
ans Home Companion.

UTAH HAS A MODEL TOWN.


There is one town in the United
States whose inhabitants do not hun
ger for the flesh pots of other com
munities laying claim to higher de-
gree of culture. The place is named
vernal and it is situated not far from
the reservation of the Uintah Indians
in Utah, says the Chicago Chronicle.
One of its attractions is that there has
never been any local tax levied on the
townspeople, for the reason that the
sensible system of city government
provides a perfectly adequate income
without the necessity of taxs ton.
Nothing is given away by the city
government of Vernal. If any fran
chises or privileges are desired they
must be paid for and paid for at their
full value. Saloons are looked upon as
luxury that can be dispensed with,
but as the town is not total absti-
nence community the saloons are al
lowed to exist by the payment Of .
large fee to the treasury.
Crime is taxed to the utmost. Fines
rather than imprisonment are the pun
ishment for evildoers. Instead of .
prisoner being supported for term
at the expense of the city he is mulcted
in q sum deemed commensurate with
the enormity of the offense and the
money goes to the towns exchequer.
In this way the burden of the city's
expenses is placed on the shoulders
of those who deserve to be made to
bear it and TIE well-behaved citizen in
stead of suffering by the action of the
wrongdoer in being compelled to sup
port him in jail actually benefits by
his wrongdoing in the absence of tax
alton.
So proud are the citizens of Vernal
Of their model town that the city Of
ficials almost invariably turn back into
the treasury the amounts received for
salary. The only man who is really
paid by the town for his work is the
city marshal, who devotes his whole
time to the duties of his Office.
As might be expected the town is
splendidly laid out, possessing miles Of
asphalted streets, one of the finest
school buildings in the west and am
pie means for the building Of more as
they are needed. No breath of sus-
picion has ever been directed at the
officials of the town. Their action in
refusing to receive salaries might in
itself divert any suspicion of sbood-
ling" The town numbers about 1000
persons and, as its admirable system
