SAVINGS BANKS.

They We're First Suggested In 1907
by Daniel Defoe.
Primitive savings banks were found
ed at Hamburg in IT'S and at Berne
in l7S7, the idea having been suggested
by Daniel Defoe in 1G97. Francis Mas
seres proposed in iii to confer upon
the ratepayers of any English parish
powers to receive and invest savings
and to grant deferred annuities, but a
bill to this effect failed to pass through
parliament The first practical at
tempts were on q small and tentative
scale. A children's bank was started
BY Mrs. Priscilla Wakefield at Totem
ham in 1898.
The Rev. ]. Smith of Andover, with
two friends, agreed in 1850 to receive
small sums from his parishioners dur
ing the summer, to be returned with a
one-third bounty at Christmas, a lib
eral offer which was eagerly embraced.
The title Of Father Of Savings
Banks has been given, however, to the
Rev. H. Duncan Of Ruthwell, DUN
friesshire, who established savings
bank in 1910 on so successful a basis
that in four years it possessed an accu-
mulated fund Of fl160.
Acts to encourage savings banks IN
England and Ireland were passed IN
1917 and were extended to Scotlandi1n

PROLIFIC INSECTS.
The Termttes, or White Ants, axe
the Greatest Egg Layers.

The Termttes, or White Ants, Are
the Greatest Egg Layers.
There is infinite variety in the num-
Der of eggs laid by different animals
the general rule being that those high
est in the scale Of life are least prolific
Among vertebrates fish are the most
prolific. Trout and salmon average
1000 eggs to every pound Of weight.
Buckland reckoned the roe Of a half
pound herring at T9,S40, Of an eight
pound turbot at $4,000 and Of thirty
pound cod at 5,000DO0, while the stur-
geon has more than q third OF ITS
weight ready for the toothsome caT1are.
Mollusks vary in their powers OF re-
production from thirty to fifty at
time in snails, to the thousands Of the
whelk, while the. spat Of some reaches
100000. It IS among insects that stu
pendous numbers appear, reaching q
climax in the termites, or white ants.
The queens Of these are egg laying
machines Of the most astonishing re-
cundity. They become huge cylindrical
packages, 1000 times their; usual size,
chained to one spot. The laying at
the rate Of sixty eggs minute, or so,-
600 a day, reaches probably in TWO
wears the enormous total Of oooooooo.

COLD STORAGE RATS.
Perfectly at Home In n Temperature
Below the Zero Mark.

When cold storage was first intro
duced into this country the chilly stor-
ace rooms were absolutely free from
rats and mice. The temperature was
kept considerably below the freezing
point, and in the cold surroundings rats
and mice were unable to live.
In time, however, the rich stores
packed away there proved too tempt
ing for thieving rodents, and they be-
gan to make inroads into the cold stor-
age rooms, at first paying q hurried
call and as soon as they had taken
few nibbles rushing with shiver out
into warmer places.
Gradually, however, these visits We're
heightened and became more frequent,
not without considerable mortality
among the rats, but in the end there
grew into being what is known as the
"cold storage rat" This animal has
neither tail nor ears, both having been
frozen for his ancestors, resulting in
their total loss to the families Of the
first intrepid pirates Of cold storage.
These earless and tailless cold storage
rats are perfectly at home in temper
ature below the zero mark. This,
think, is one of the most striking eN-
amples Of how the animal kingdom IN
the wise economy Of nature can adapt
itself to the most severe surroundings.

No doubt the fight OH the "Brice
dispensary BILL will be renewed in the
incoming Legislature and should the
candidates for legislative honors be
called on in Clarendon to define their
position relative to legislation along
this line, they ought to speak out open

The last decision of the Supreme
Court of the United States silenced the
last gun that was openly assailing the
dispensary. and after being routed and
driven to cover, the enemies OF the dis.
pensary now have their sappers and
miners at work all over this State tun-

they think. will explode and blow the
popularity of Tillman and the dispen-

The friends of Tillman and the dis
pensarv without regard to past fac
tiona political differences will stand by

the dispensary is thrust made ut the

LABRADOR.

It Is q Picturesque Country "lta
Many Great Waterfalls.
Labrador externally is forblddinG
and discouraging She is not all moss
covered rock, however. From a scenic
point Of view she has something to
offer that will interest the world. In
fortunately it is possible to reach the
country by water during only four
months Of the year. Dog sledges and
suowshoes are the medium Of travel
the remainder Of the year. There are
no roads.
The interior of Labrador has been
found to be tableland, about 1,5O0 feet
above sea level, the foothills Of which
reach down to the Atlantic coast
Piercing these foothills at intervals
along the 760 miles Of coast line are
deep inlets, some Of which resemble
Norwegian fords. OF these perhaps
the most picturesque is Nachrach bay,
LOO miles north Of ST. Johns. 1t Is
mile or more wide and twenty, miles
long. Great shouldering cliffs, more
than $500 feet high, jut out into the
water on either side, gllstening cas-
cades tumble over their sides, and mys-
tifying sea caverns lure one to explore
them. Fifteen miles from the mouth ls
a waterfall of tremendous height. Its
altitude has been variously estimated
at from 400 TO 600 feet. Tumbling over
the edge Of the cliff in a cascade, 1t
takes this great leap and then dashes
along on it's foamv way down several
hundred feet until 1t drops into the
bay. This is by no means the largest
waterfall in the country.-New York

FAT ON 4 FOWL.

It II Not So Good Thing as Some
Housekecpcrs Think.
when l see men or women looking
for nothing but fat OH Il fowl said a
markctman, II don't envy them theE
dinner. There is layer Of fat under
meath the skin when poultry is unduly
fattencd, and in tie cooking this over
heated fat saturates the meat, and deli
cate stomachs have & hard tussle. This
is why lots Of people can't eat ducks
and geese at all. These overwhelmed
fowls are in reality more expensive
and less easily digested, there being
much less lean meat in proportion to
the fat. Most Of my customers are now
willing to pay what a good turkey is
worth, understanding the difference.
What is the difference? Why, there
are few rules that must be observed.
For at least six days before killing
barnyard fowls must be cooped, not
huddled, have q good, clean space
and be we'll fed on corn for at least
five days. Then for twenty-four hours
before killing they should be fed on
SKINNED milk or soft boiled rice. The
night before the killing the turkey
must have plenty Of water, but no
food, which leaves the crop empty, the
intestines clean, the dark meat quite
light, and gives q favor as different as
possible from the offensive flavor that
Is likely to impregnate the common
fowl killed in the common way. The
flesh of all animals is favored by their
food. This accounts for the delicious
flavor of the canvasback and redhead
ducks. Both eat Of the Wild celery at
the waters edge, the former taking the
roots, the latter the tops."-Philadel-

The Camel Raid.

Camels in Somaliland are kept In
great herds sometimes numbering 3d.
600. Such numbers involve wide areas
for grazing and consequent distances
from the few places where water may
be found. The ponies used by the So
mali can also manage without drink for
three or four days and when employed
for herding have, like their masters,
only camels' milk to Quench their
thirst. These big herds offer, Of course,
q tremendous temptation to the raider,
as many as 10000 camels being taken
at q time, and the excitement Of dr1V-
ing off such a haul at full gallop for
forty or fifty miles, with the exasperat-
ed owner possibly hard in pursuit and
the chances Of the raider finding ms
own camp has fallen a prey to some
other tribal diversion, appeals 1rresist-
