The churches OF all denominations

examples Of this. For weeks now they
have all put aside personal feeling and
have sunk their differences in their
love for fellow-man.

Out Of il sprang the twins good and
evil. But probably one of the most
beautiful lessons il has taught, and
, a lesson that was self-imposed. was the
uniication Of all the churches irrespec-

succor the distressed and suffering.
Humanity was the keystone that did

Honesty Without Interest.

Now and then something happens
to revive ones confidence in human
nature and to compel the belief that
IA poll of male adults would reveal "a
clear majority Of honest men. Such
a happening is that reported from
Connecticut in detail and with as
poets of truth.
Farmer John Brockett lives in the
thriving village of Nontowese. He
is a well-to-do citizen, in spite of
the fact that he belongs to the
dovutrodden producing classes. On
Tuesday q stranger assembled the
front steps OF Farmer Johns house
and asked Farmer John if he knew
him. At once recognition was com
plcte. You are "a hired man who
worked for me about nine years
ago" replied the farmer, discreetly
refraining from going into details.
The stranger coTroborated Farmer
John. Moreover, he was explicit as
to the details Of his disappearance.
when I left I stole $500 from You.
Here is the money" After he dis
appeared he travelled. was a member
Of the Salvation Army, and is now
manager of one of the largest dry
goods stores in the West. So runs
the story.
1t is a pretty tale. Such are none
too comlnon. But how in the name
of finance did the reformed piIferer
succeed in quitting Farmer John
again without making good upon
the interest for $500 for nine years.
That means something to anybody
who has to extract a livelihood from
New England soil.

1t Must Come

y bank in Baltimore which re-
Gently introduced the continuous. or
quick lunch, service has decided to
adopt the Bertillon system for the
Identification of its customers. This.
it is explained, is necessary by the
fact that three sets of employees are
on duty every twenty-four hours,
and the usual means of identified
ton are insufficient
If the patrons of that bank have
no objections to such a method Of
establishing their identity, other
people can offer no protests, but
the announcement of this innova-
ton viii suggest to many people a
reform too long delayed by banking
institutions all over the country. It
is a reform which. incidentally,
would protect the banks. but the
greatest direct benefit would come
TO depositors.
There should be "a uniform test
for blindness and deafness on the
part Of all bank directors. No man
should be eligible to participation
in the directorate of any institution
handling the funds of the people
who cannot see what is going on
under his benevolent white beard, or
who cannot hear what is said in
the next room to his own, with the
door wide open.
That, of course, would be a violent
innovation in banking circles, and
it might arouse intense opposition,
but unless something of that kind
is done ere long conservative people
will be inclined to return to the old
fashioned method of boarding saw
ings in old blue stockings and old
brown teapots.

The Passing of Glued Carvings.

woman, it is no wonder that inhu-

dav. Yet even the most hopeful of
honest craftsmen must be surprised
at the progress their creed of
simple furniture is making. Not in
q day, exactly but in far less than a
decade, American interior furnish
ing has undergone a change for the
better which it is not too much to
describe as marvellous.
We thought we were making pro-
gress when we abandoned the hair
cloth sofas and Handicapped
tables of the reconstruction period.
Maybe we are
But when WE consider the awful
things which followed-the fragile
gilt chairs, patent rockers, DUST
catching tufted furniture, and the
riot of salmon pink, canary yellow,
and Nile green-that does not seem
so certain.
Now, instead of haircloth or
totally impracticable silk brocadc.
the local shops are displaying fur
niture well and simply made, with
leather and canvas in lieu of the
delicate patterns of ten years ago
