LOST BANK BOOKS.
The Way Depositors Are Protected
y, a m alil Made More Careful. a1 .

IF we don't have at least five per-
sons every day come in here to give
notice of their lost bank book we think
it unusual" said a cashier of one of the
city banks recently.
"As soon as q book is reported lost
check is made against it in the bank,
and the loser lis requested to advertise
the loss, For from fortnight to thirty
days ensuing no money can be with
drawn on that account unless the book
shall be found. If not found the de-
positor must apply for a new book.
Generally an affidavit must first be
made that the loser cannot find the
book and that it has not been trans
ferred or assigned. IS.
"Au this is scarcely necessary, but
it makes a bank absolutely safe in re-
spect to that deposit, and it puts the
depositor to enough trouble to make
him or her careful thereafter. Every
thing having been performed as out
lined, the depositor may get a new
book, which means opening new ac-
count, as accounts are never duplicated.
In my experience of many years
do not recall "a case where finders have
presented books in hopes of withdraw
ing money. 1t would be almost i'm
possible for a person not the owner Of
the book to withdraw a cent on the
account. At the time Of the original
deposit the ,depositor, before getting a
book, has to answer certain questions
which are framed to fix the depositor's
identity and to protect the depositor.
The depositor must also leave an auto
graph on the bank register. Whenever
money is withdrawn these questions
must be answered and the autograph
attached to an order. This is an eff
fectual test. Each book is numbered
and bears the ,depositor's name.
1--WE have been asked If depositors
would not be better protected If banks
omitted the name from the book and
simply numbered it. We can see no
advantage in that. The plan would not
defeat the purposes of a thief. for one
who would steal a bank book would
know the name of the owner, and the
withdrawal Of deposits is so well
guarded that even with the owners
name a finder could not get money
from the bank. !
"There are probably from 1900 to
1,5O0 books lost every year, of which
400 to 500 eventually turn up. That
means from one-third to ;two-fifths of
1 per cent of the whole number of
books out disappear, and one-third of
that number get back to the owners.
Where the rest go is puzzle not to be
solved. Tribune.

Lord Macaulay on Sunday Reut.

Speaking on 'the ten hours bill"
Lord Macaulay said: 1--WE are not poor
er, but richer, because we have through
many ages rested from our labor one
day in seven. That day is not lost
While industry is suspended, while the
pillow lies in the furrow, while the ex-
change is silent, while no sluoke as
cends from the factory, process is
going on quite as important to the
wealth of nations as any process which
Is performed on more busy days. Man.
the machine of machines-the machine
compared with which all the contriv-
ances of the Watts and Arkwrights
are worthless-is repairing and wind
ing up, so that he returns to his la
bors on the Monday with clearer INTEL
lect, with livelier spirits, with renewed
corporal yigor."

"A CRANK On TEA.
Cyrus w. Fields Encounter with an
Expert Tea faster. <saa&


T. Expert Tea faster. .a.S
1T may be that the millionaire lis no
more eccentric than humber mortals,
and vet in the fierce white light Of
publicity 1t often seems So Cyrus w.
Field was never given to any Of the
expensive hobbies of other rich men.
He did not dote on horses or yachts or
pictures. But Mr.. Field did like tea.
He used to say there was only. one
man of his acquaintance who knew
how to brew it, and that man was '.Old
Field" The father of the submarine
cable used to travel great deal by
rail- but he never went anywhere with
out his faverite brand Of tea and his
personal utensils for brewing it. z.s
Mr.. Field seldom, travelled in his pri-
waite car and none Of his retinue Of
servants ever made tea for him. From
his berth in the Pullman he rose early,
as at home, and 1t was not an uncom-
mon sight to see the gray old philan-
thropist half dressed and stirring about
in buffet car at daylight, seeking hot
water with which to brew his choice
young Hyson, canister Of which was
invariably part Of his baggage. ~
One day when Mr.. Field was going
through Front street he was attracted
by tea faster who was slipping the
contents Of number Of small cups.
Mr.. Field watched the man carefully
and observed his method Of using boil
ing water. Finally he entered the
place and said to the expert: "How long
have you been In this business?" =
'"Thirty-one years." said the tea tast-
er, who was enjoying al annual, In
come Of about $4,000. ~. liz, 49,. b
"Well, you had better give it up"
remarked Mr.. Field frankly. "You
don't know how to make tea and you
are too old to learn. Let me brew some
Of that stuff for you" =. r. sss
The aged philanthropist poured water
on some leaves which he took from a
paper in his pocket, let it draw for a
few seconds and invited the tea faster
to test it. But the expert spat the stuff
out. Worst everr' was his comment.
Not even properly brewed." Then Mr..
Field, who was a sensitive man, turned
on his heel and walked away, mutter-
ing, "If you are an expert, the good
Lord help some Of our tea drinkers"
But when the millionaire was out of
sight the tea faster roared with laugh
ter and said to one of the clerks: "That
was old Field. He's a crank on tea.
Pays 50 pound for it, and told him
It was like dishwater." IS.

Coal Mans Chief worker.

Coal has become mans chief worker,
and horse labor and human manual
labor are slowly being pushed aside.
In the great transformation it has
been brain power that has triumphed
over brute strength. Man first sought
to shift his burden to the backs Of
the beasts of the field, and the horse
became his patient friend and assist
ant, but now he seeks to harness the
elemental forces of nature to do his
bidding. The burden is thus lightened
without cruelty to any living creature.
Neither man nor beast has had his la.
bors increased, but steadily decreased

Spanish Lovemaking.

In southern Spain the cigarette max
ers form almost class by themselves.
Among them it is customary for girl
who fancies lad to twist her powder
puff into pompon for his hat II he
wears it at the next bull fight it is
considered match. In some parts Of
northern Spain pumpkin pie is held
by the peasant girls to be the proper
offering to the object of their affection.
When a young man receives such
pie his eating it or not signifies his
acceptance or refusal of the offerer's
proposal Of marriage
