AMERICAN BANKING SYSTEM.
Democratic in Its Tendencies and
Well Adapted to Needs Of
Vast Territory.

Ever since Andrew Jackson over
threw the Second bank of the United
States, the American banking system
has consisted of large number Of
small institutions possessing little de-
sire or power of helpful cooperation.
Large banks with numerous branches,
such as exist in Canada and Scotland,
have been unknown in the United
States, save for a few transient: en-
terprises of ante-bellum days, writes
Prof. Charles J.. Bullock; in Atlantic.
A central institution, enjoying fed
eral patronage and serving to unity
banking interests, has been q political
impossibility since Nicholas Biddle
rashly ventured upon a trial of
strength with the masterful statesman
from Tennessee. National banks,
state banks, private banks. trust COM
panies, competing vigorously for pub
lie favor, have met tolerably well the
needs of the country In fair weather;
but in times of stress and storm these
separate institutions have been unable
to oppose united front to the forces
of financial disorder. Yet, upon the
whole, this decentralization Of bank
ing interests has been generally ap-
proved as democratic in its tendencies
and we'll adapted to the diverse needs
Of our vast territory.
At the head of the system stand the
national banks, which possess the ex-
elusive power to issue circulating
notes. For 20 years following the
civil war this privilege remained suf1-
GENTLY remunerative to gain for these
institutions a decided predominance
over the banks of deposit and discount
incorporated by the several states; but
since the early eighties causes which
are we'll understood have reduced the
profit derived from the issue Of notes,
and have decreased the attractiveness
of a federal charter. In point
of resources and banking power the
national associations still retain their
prominence, having nearly three
times the capital and over twice the
deposits shown by the state institu-
tions; yet banks of the latter class are
increasing more rapidly than those OF
the former, despite the temporary in
fluence of recent changes in the ma
tional banking laws.

ELBOWS ON THE TABLE.
Habit Of American Women Attributed
to Desire to Display Their
Bracelets.

II the social curriculum still includes
such instructions as Don't put your
elbows on the table" and when walk
ing and standing keep the elbows close
to the side," few persons outside of the
nursery think Of paying any attention
to them. An English woman stopping
in New York drew attention to this In
teresting circumstance the other day.

II have been very much surprised"
said she, "at the way American women
sit with their elbows on the table on
all occasions.
everywhere they do tin. private
houses and in restaurants, at the most
formal breakfasts, luncheons, dinners,
suppers. When one hand is in use, they
lean on the other elbow, and whenever
they get q chance, as between courses.
both elbows are propped on the table
and the hands clasped under the chin.
1.-THE other day went past one OF
the Fifth avenue restaurants at the dim
ner hour, and at nearly everyone of the
window tables was woman leaning on
her elbows. Why, even in some OF the
smartest photographs I have seen OF late
women are posed with clasped hands,
leaning their elbows on table In front
of them. And yet probably those very
women were brought up never to put
their elbows on the table"
The American to whom the English
woman was speaking admitted, with a
laugh, that everything she said was
true.
II find myself doing the same thing. |"
tho American confessed, especially
since I came into possession OF dia-
moud pendant bracelet.
1.-The growth of the habit, think.
dates from the time that the very slen'
der chain bracelet, wound sometimes
twice around the arm and finished with
\ jeweled pendant, came into fashion.
AS q rule the weight of the pendant
swings it toward the under part of the
wrist: therefore 1t is seen to better adj
vantage when the arm are raised.
MANY Of these ornaments are superb
and possibly the owners think 1t would
be an awful pity not to show them at
their best I had no idea, though, that
the habit had become so general that .
stranger would notice it."

IN. "why, it seems to me an exception
to find q New York woman who can
get through a meal without planting her
elbows on the table. Just look for your
self"

EARLY MEXICAN PYRAMIDS.
They and q City Antedating Colun1s
bus Are Described By an
ArchaeOl0gist.

Great archaeological value is attached
to the discovery of an ancient city In
q remote portion Of the state of Pueblo,
and in order to ascertain the exact i'm
port of the find the federal government
has commissioned the subdirector OF
the National museum, F. Rodriguez,
who is one of the foremost Mexican en-
gineers, to visit the ruins and make in
vestigations, says special to the Phil
adelphia Press. DR.. Nicolas Leon, the
archaeologist and ethnologist Of the in
stitution, accompanies him.
DR.. Leon reports that the ruins have
never been known to the world OF sc1-
encs and that they are the most primi-
tive that have been discovered in Mex
leo, and are, in fact, so ancient that 1t
will require great deal of time and
study to learn in what epoch they were
built as well as by what people. DR..
Leon has made the following state
ment in reference to the discoveries:
I'm range of small hills that extends
from north to south from the high neigh
boring mountains we find very nu-
merous series of pyramidal construc-
tons guarded by elaborate trenches and
connected, for the purposes of commune
cation, by wide avenues, which were set
off at intervals by sloping activities,
platforms and staircases. All the pyra-
mids were found to be quadrangular and
to have been built with especial refer
ence to the cardinal points. Those i'm
portant monuments were constructed
entirely of rocks and sandstones cut
and laid in juxtaposition. The surface
dressing of the pyramids is small stones
worked into cubical forms Of very orna-
mental appearance and laid close to-
gether.
"As q rule, every four of the pyra-
mids surround a court. All of them
are so grouped that each and every one
Of them guards the entrance to the
courts. But If in any case the entrances
are not protected, great walls with
bases much wider than their SUBMITS
reinforce the pyramids. These walls
are Of such sizes that their SUBMITS
are really streets.
"They are well paved with fiat stones
and have platforms, staircases and
sloping activities like the avenues. On
one of the highest of the platforms and
at the bases of all the pyramids we
found pieces of pottery which were GER
tainly made before the time of Colum-
bus and which were evidently the re-
mains of a civilization relatively more
advanced than that of the builders OF the
pyramids.
I'VE found also many sculptured
scenes in bas-relief of prehistoric times.
Figures of human beings and animals
in stone and iron were quite numerous.
Domestic utensils of stone painted rose
color were scattered over the ground.
"Stone knives and arrow heads OF the
obsidian epoch were encountered In
great abundance. Leagues of the noun
famous country are covered with ruins. -

NEWS A CENTURY AGO.
How the London Times Treated S0ch
= Sensation a. Expected In
vasiOn of London.

An interesting instance of the man
ner in which newspapers have devel-
oped in the last 100 years is now being
furnished by the London Times,
which, since its centennial anniver-
sary, has each day printed quota
ton from its issue of the same day 100
years ago.
At this period in the last century
Napoleon Bonaparte was busily pre-
pairing to invade England with an i'm
mense army. One can imagine how q
modern newspaper would have treated
such a "story" as this. Here is how
the Times referred to it in 1903:
I'VE yesterday received the Paris
Papers to the Sd instant inclusive.
"They continue to be filled with Ad-
dresses to the First Consul, and offers
of gun-boats for the invasion of this
country. They also contain directions
for the ceremonial to be observed by
the Clergy Of the different towns,
which is to sanctify the reception of
the First Consul. Among other forms
the Bishop of the place is to present
the Cross to him to be kissed, on his
arrival at the gates; that Cross which
he so grossly degraded and insulted IL
Egypt, by displaying it as subject to
the spiritual predominance of the
Crescent.
Accounts from Dunkirk state, that
the preparations making for the expe-
dition against this country are on a
very extensive scale. It is said, that a
Camp of 100000 men is to be formed
near st. Omer; one of 10000 at Cher
bourg, and another of 10000 in Hol-
land"

BOOMERANG THROWING.
People Of Warrington Taken Up
with Novel Sport That Smacks
of Danger.

Throwing boomerangs-not the po-
litical kind, but the real ones-is COM
ing to be popular sport in Washing
ton, or rather in the suburbs of Wash
ington, for boomerang throwing in
large cities is nearly as dangerous as
rifle practice, says a report from that
city.
The Washington Boomerang club,
with a membership of respectable pro-
portions, has been 'organized, and
grounds for practice have been Sc
cured and the new sport is in full
blast.
The men who have gone into the
fun say a person may become just as
much of a boomerang crank as a base
ball crank, or fishing crank or golf
crank.
Awhile ago. Prof. Walker, Of Cam
bridge. England, who has been in for
nearly every kind of out-of-door
sports, went to Washington and told
some scientific men there that he knew
no better fun than boomerang-thr
ing, and that in addition to the physi-
cal exertion necessary, the training
given the eye and nerves was little
better than anything he knew of.
More than that, Prof. Walker had
some boomerangs with him, and he
took the gentlemen, to a field in the
suburbs of Washington and showed
them how the trick is done.
The sport took instantly, and the
scientific men went prowling around
lumber yards looking for white ash to
make boomerangs of.
It seems that a rude Australian will
60 into a store and buy boomerangs
by the dozen, but that is not the eti-
quette of the game as imported from
Cambridge to Washington.
More than half the skill in the sport
is in making the boomerangs. 1t is
made of white ash, steamed and bent
into the desired shape.
OF course, the Washington players
are not expert boomerang makers yet,
but they have got along so far in the
art that any one of them can make
boomerang so wonderfully con-
structed that no mortal can tell where
it will 60 when thrown with great
force.
After awhile, through the exercise
Of much patience, they hope to get the
business down to so fine point that
the boomerang will do what is ex-
pected of it-describe certain move
ments in the air and return to the feet
Of the thrower.
Until skill has been acquired on the
part Of the players, boomerang-throw-
ing is pretty dangerous for everybody
within a radius of some hundreds of
yards.
In the hands of an inexperienced
thrower a boomerang may 60 any,
where except where it is expected to
60, but wherever it does go it goes
with tremendous speed.
When the boomerangs thrown by
the Washington throwers come to
earth they 60 into the ground so fast
that it is often task to pull them out.
Were one Of the things to hit a
man or even a horse a painful wound
would be the possible result, and
should the blow be upon the head
death might follow.
