came down to stop the work. A pace

Father Calmet says the tower was ST.
600 feet high, and that the languages
were confounded because the archi-

not know how to bring the building

that the Chinese language Of to-day

UNCLE SAM THEIR BANKER.
Soldiers Have ON DepOsat with the
Government 100000 OF
Their SavdngA,

The American soldier Is coming tc
be thrifty person, who saves his
money nnd uses the government Of
the United States as a depository.
A long time ago, when rates for
money ranged from five to six per
cent, law was passed by congress
authorizing the war department to
take deposits from soldiers and pay
interest on them at the rate of four
per cent.
OF course, at the time that was a
low rate Of interest, but in these
days of two and three per cent. from
the savings banks it is very high
rate. For few years after the law
was passed the savings fund amount
ed to almost nothing. Then the SOL
diers realized that this was an excep-
tionally good way Of saving, and
many of them started accounts with
the government, says Washington
report.
A few years ago soldier received
an honorable discharge and drew s1o,-
600 from his savings and interest,
and another soldier, who had re-
ceived and deposited cash. inheri-
tance during his term of enlistment,
drew $4,000. But these were excep-
tional cases. However, during the
last fiscal year the soldiers of the
government deposited with the war
department upward, of $4.Ooo, 900, and
that money is now drawing four: per
cent. interest.
At the time that this law was
passed there were many assertions
from the army, and it was provided
that if soldier deserted he should
lose oil the savings he had on &C.
count. Hence when an enlisted man
gets an amount of money on de-
post with the government he be-
comes q better soldier and never de-
serts. - =, ,5gE
His, Independence and interest in
his work increase in proportion with
his. savings account, and the govern
ment is thus well repaid for the
rather high rate Of interest that it
allows upon soldier deposits. n: IL.
