Interest only on round Numbers.

Interest Only on Round Numbers.
Money bears interest after the first fifteen
days following its deposit. but interest is
not calculated on fractions Of francs and
fractions OF centimes are not taken into
account On the S1st OF December of each
year the accumulated interest is added to
the capital and begins to draw interest on
the LIST day of January. Money withdrawn
ceases to bear interest fifteen days prior TO
its withdrawal.
The rate Of interest on deposits is fixed
periodically by the general management
subjest to the approval OF the minister OF
finance. Every FIVE years the government
may decide on the advice OF the general
management of the savings bank, that a
bonus from the reserve may be distributed
among depositors who have held their
books at least one year.

thrift the practical results of
NIlHI which may be seen in the small
01henY percentage Of paupers, both IN
t.c C-.es and rural districts. The ten
dency to save and to live strictly within
ones means has been greatly encouraged
by the government, which has, by special
legislation since the year 1850, adopted and
developed a financial system by which the
very poorest in the country, whether native
born or foreigners, may get interest on his
money from the government and contract
government life insurance or life annui-
ties. The government system Of life an
nuitles has been in practice since the
FORMULATION Of the law of March s, 1850,
and that OF the government savings bank
since the PRONUNCIATION Of the law Of
March &C. 1865.
BY the law OF March 16, 1865, the national
savings bank was constituted and COM
bined with the national life annuity fund,

OF the national bank showed a deposit to

the people TO put their savings out at
interest and thus encourage national thrift
and every possible facility is given to the
public to attain this end Deposits may

by the same depositor; however more than
5000 francs 1866, may not be deposited in
any period OF fourteen days without special
authorization from the general manage

Deposits are made by purchasing special
adhesive deposit stamps which are in

livered to each depositor free OF any charge
