RECENT COMMENT.
Tea in British Counting Rooms.

Time is the commodity wasted in British bust
houses. The attitude of the English OF bus
ness from the Junior" clerk to the managing director
be that OF seeing little time spend
in actual work and how much he spend in sports
pleasure and the ntermssions OF business. He works
TO live instead Of living to work.
An instance Of this lack OF economy in time and
labor is found in the practice in English offices

VIOLATING THE BANKING LAW.

In his latest installment Of the story of Amalsa-
mated Copper, Mr.. Lawson describes the remarkable
banking transaction by which the Amagamated
Copper Company was born. Among other things he
states that the bank loaned William Rockefeller and
Henry H. Rogers the S39OOOOOO with which the
copper properties. later unoaded upon the public
for $75.OOO00O, were purchased from DAILY Haggin
and Tevis.
Mr.. Lawson feelingly characterizes the bank S
transaction as monstrousy egitimate, and most
of those who have read his story will agree that il
he rightly describes the incident it did violate all
the rules of conservative legitimate banking But
Mr. Lawson does not raise the question as to wheth
er the bank violated the laws Of the United States
The banking law provides that no national bank
shall lend more than onetenth Of its capital and sur
plus to any person. firm corporation This
loan Of thirty-nne millions was made to two per-
sons Rogers and Rockefeller, according to Lawson;
and exceeded the banks capital and surplus. A
statement shows that the bank has a capital of $2-
100000 and surplus of $S.9O0,OOO A loan withia
the lawful limits could not have been more than

The patient cattle. in a vague dismay,
Seek the cool cloister OF ancient tree;

Apart, and pause, while Life. with scanty breath
And trembling knees, touches her lips with Death.
