AUTOMOBILE SAVINGS BANK.
A French Tnstitution for the Encour.
nxenient of Thrift in the Rural
nistricts.

American bankers learned a long
time ago that savings deposits were
TO be had for the seeking, and sew
eral methods OF seeking them, par
ticularly by distributing small boxes
which can only be opened at the
banking office. have been used sue
cessfully. French bankers have just
taken several strides in advance by
introducing the automobile savings
bank, which tours the country dis
trcts at stated intervals and gath
ers in the savings of the thrifty
peasants, says the New York Trib-
une.
An electric motor car has been
built for the purpose. 1t provides
seats for cashier and two clerks,
arranged about a revolving table.
There are shelves on the walls for
the bank books. and a strong box is
built into the body Of the car. The
officials are from the MeziereS treas
nry administration. and the cashier
has power to receive deposits of any
amount. AS there is no desire on the
part Of the authorities 10 facilitate
the withdrawal of funds. the peasant
is forced to come to the central ba nix
when he needs money. The automo-
bile began it's rounds some weeks
ago and has met with Q most favor
able reception.

OCTOBER.

october is the treasurer of the year,
And all the months pay bounty to her
store;
The fields and orchards still their tribute
bear,
And MI their trimming Golfers more
and more,
But she, with youthful lavishness.
Spends all her wealth in GaudY dress,
And decks herself in garments bold
OF scarlet, purple, red, and gold,
She heedeth not how swift the hours fly
But smiles and sings her happy life
along,
She only secs above a shining sky;
She only hears the breezcs voice in
song,
Her garments trail the woodlands
through,
And gather pearls of early dew
That sparkle, till the rogush sun
Creeps up and steals them every one,

Living in New York

how much it costs to live in New York
city. 1t costs as much as one is willing
10 spend. One can live and be com
Portable, too, on surprisingly small
sum. The rates are varying. The
latest compilation puts the minimum
figure at eight dollars a week for
board. The maximum fight is terrific.

German I'm migration.

Statisticians have generally divid-
ed the German immigration into two
periods, the decade from 1850 to 1870
being the transition stage. In the
first period from ISIS to 1860, not
year passed but men of the higher
classes, dissatisfied or tormented poll
iticians, came from Germany. They
were especially numerous from 1890
20 ls4s. Since 1860, on the other
hand, there have been few political
eXiles among the immigrants.
