HIDDEN RESERVE OF BANKS
Large Suras of Money Carried by In
stitutions for Use in Emer-
gencies.

1t is q fact not generally known that
the leading Wall street banks possess,
IN addition to the surplus reported in
their statements, another surplus which
is carried as hidden reserve. In the
case OF one or two of the largest Wall
street banks this hidden reserve is be-
lleVed to amount to several million dol
lars. When the First national bank
several years ago lost more than $780,
OoO through defalcation this heavy loss
was made good out of the banks hid
oen reserve, and the statement of the
bank for the following week did not
snow single important change. The
bank simply took 100000 out of it's hid
oen reserve and transferred it to it's
surplus, and the reported surplus, in
spite of the defalcation, remained I'M
changed.
Some of the Wall street banks follow
the policy of adding a part of the profits
each year to the hidden reserve. The
Dank may earn profit of $4,000, 900.
Ot this amount 81 100000 will be report
ed as profits and 100000, without be-
ing mentioned, will be added to the hid
den reserve. The result is that if the
bank should happen to suffer heavy
loss through a defalcation or otherwise,
1T would not necessarily be shown in the
surplus. The reported surplus would
remain unchanged, and the public would
not necessarily know anything of the
loss suffered.

MODERN NOAH'S ARK TESTED
Danes Build Vessel Modelled on Lines
OF the One Described in
the Bible.

The Danes have been building a YES
sci upon the lines of Noah's ark as de-
scribed in Genesis. The model is 80
feet long, feet wide and 3 feet in height,
its total size being one-tenth of Noah's
structure. 1t was floated on the sound
short time ago, says the London Spec
tator, with party Of professors, engi-
neers and officials on board, and is re-
ported-rather, it would seem, to its de-
signer's surprise-to have behaved adj
mirably at sea.
The event is probably regarded by tho
Danes as a confirmation of the Biblical
account of Noah's escape; but it also
confirms the theory put forward in Herr
Won 1hering's> remarkable book, "The
Evolution of the Aryan," in which he
maintains that the Babylonians had at
a very early period a sea-borne COM
merce, that Noah's ship was sea-going
vessel and that it was driven, as re-
corded in the Babylonian annals, by
storm wave up the Doab of the Tigris
and Euphrates into the mountains.
The remembrance of this calamity,
which destroyed whole cities, lasted long
and grew with the Jews into the account,
obviously impossible as literal state.
ment, of a flood which was universal.
Herr Won Ihering further states that the
Babylonians constantly kept doves on
board their ships, which they occasion
ally released, and thus by following the
direction of their fight were able to
reach land.

DOBBIN.

Old Dobbin stays in grandpa's barn
!. The whole long winter through,
But when the summer comes again
He has so much to do.
And so he gets up early,
And eats a little hay:
Before l am awake at all
He's ready for the day.
Old Dobbin plows the big south lot,
Where large potatoes grow;
He let's me run beside him as ia
He marks the burrows, so.
And then he takes the fruit and eggs
And hurries to the store,
And does the errands in the town.
A dozen things or more.
He reaps the oats and draws them In;
He takes me for ride: .-a ~a ..
He's ready when a Sunday comes
To 60 to church beside. W&g
And when there's nothing special at
The farm for him to do,
He goes down to the blacksmith's shop
To buy stronger shoe.
He never says he's tired. t..
I never saw him frown.
It's "Dobbin here! and "Dobbin there"
Up the hill and down!
always thought the summer time
Was made for only play,
But Dobbin works and never plays
Through every summer day.

IT IS IN THE BLOOD
Neither Liniments nor Ointments
Will Reach Rheumatism How
Nd. Stephensol1 Was Cured.

People with infamed and aching
Joints, or painful muscles; people who
shuttle about with the aid Of a cane or q
crutch and cry, Oh at every slight jar,
are constantly asking, "What is the best
thing for rheumatism 20
To attempt to cure rheumatism by ex-
sternal applications is foolish waste of
time. The seat Of the disease is in the
blood, and while the sufferer is rubbing
lotions and grease OIL the skin the poison
in the circulation is increasing.
Delaysin adopting sensible treatment
arc dangerous because rheumatism may
ut any momentreach the heart and prove
fatal. The only safe course for rheumatic
sufferers is to get the best possible blood
remedy at once.
Mr.. Stephenson experience with this
obstinate and distressing affection is
that Of hundreds. He says:
"About year ago was attacked by
severe rheumatic pains in my left
shoulder. The pains were worse in wet
weather, and at these periods caused me
the greatest suffering. tried a number
Of treatments and ointments, but they
failed to alleviate the palms,"
Then he realized that the cause must
be deeper and the pain only a surface in
dication. He adds:
Il had heard DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People recommended as cure
for rheumatism, and when I found that
7 was getting no relief from applications,
I made up my mind that would try
them. Before the first box was gone I
noticed that the pains were becoming
less frequent, and that they were not SO
severe as before. After the second box
had been used up was entirely free
from discomfort, and ! have had no traces
of rheumatism since"
The change in treatment proved by
almost immediate results that Mr..
Thomas Stephenson, who lives at No.115
Greenwood street, Springfield, Mass,
had found the true means for the purif-
cation and enrichment of his blood.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are without
doubt the best of all blood remedies.
They effect genuine and lasting cures in
rheumatism. They do not merely deaden
the ache, but they expel the poison from
the blood. These pills are sold by all
druggists.

Wireless Burglar Alarms.

Wireless telegraphy is likely to be put
to a new use. In England experiments
are being made with wireless burglar
alarms. Steel safes are equipped with
transmitters. When the safe is opened
the electrical waves are radiated. These
waves come in contact with the usual
cone7er at Some distant central point,
ring bell and so announce that the
door has been opened. tits thought that
when this system is perfected, which
is not as yet, no burglar will be able so
to tAmper with it as to destroy its
efficiency.

Society Girls Good Spanish Students.
SPANS silvery tongue is superseding

that can be learned only in Hispaniola's
