ON "SAeGERs AND FAULT-FISDERs".
wish could write somethir about mag
ging" that would stop the accursed habit in
ten thousand homes where it embitters all
the sweet waters of life like drop of aloes
in the nectar of a mountain spring. II l
could. l fancy that. in SO many a sweet abode
of good people, it would be like lifting the
dark window shades on n July morning and
letting in the sunlight, or like knocking
hole through the earth-walls about impris-
oned miners and letting the cool, sweet air in
upon the damp, putrid. foul and evil under
ground hole where death was the only other
relief.
do not know why the thing runs such riot
as it does. do not know why people choose
to be eternal critics and fault-fnders rather
than brothers Of help and sisters Of good
cheer, but it seems, at times, as if they did,
and, being so, the world needs q new reform
er, social higbwayman Of some sort or other,
to come along and stop this nuisance; abduct
the law-breakers who commit murder in the
name Of Perfection and to chastise all who
bear on their tongue the everlasting cry:
.You mustn't do this and you are fool for
doing that
fused to be said that torture was favorite
method Of killing of captives among the
Sioux, Arapahoes, Digger Indians and Chey-
ennes.
When they had captured a particularly sue
culent and tender-skinned white man, in
stead Of boring him full Of daylight immedi-
ately, they calmly sat down and grunted him
| to death. Sometimes they let the squaws
stick quilts into him. Again they threw
things at him, without hitting him-great
skill being shown in clipping close to the
vitals. Now and then they attacked him
with peculiarly aggrayating music. occa-
sionally they talked a captive to DEATH in
choice Sioux or other vernacular. Occasion
ally they pottered around and wore him out
by criticising his clothes, but they always
ended by finding bed for the arrow, or the
knife, or the Ratchet, in the heart or the brain
of the victim, and the end came, no doubt, in
the Great Silence and Peace of the parting
soul.
The Indians were kind at the end.
You and Land all other scolders and nag
gers, are never kind; for we kill love and
trust and hope and the peace of home by the
amending torture of the sarcastic tongue and
the fret of the lash of disapproyal, more
severe in its effect than the nine-tailed cat on
the bare back Of the sailor in the days of 1872.

sELoiAN THRIFT.
How the Government Aids the Peo-
Pile I'm saving Their Money.

U1W tne GOVerumemdS Alun uMo EgO-
Pile I'm saving Their Money.
One Of the predomlnating character
lstics OF the Belgian people is thrift,
the practical results OF which may be
seen in the small percentage Of pau
pers, both In the cities and rural dis
tricts. A striking evidence Of the peo-
pies prosperity Is the fact that very
few Belgians emigrate to other coun-
tries The tendency to save aud to live
strictly within ones means has been
greatly encouraged by the government,
which has, by special legislation, since
the year 1880, adopted and developed
financial system by which the very
poorest in the country, whether native
born or foreigner, may get interest on
his money from the government and
contract government life insurance or
l!fe annuities In 1865 the National
Savings bank was constituted and com
bined with the national life annuity
fund, and on December 81, 1908, the
balance sheet Of the national hank
showed a deposit to the credit Of this
department of $45, 1902, ,76s, or about ST.
per head for the entire population.
The government savings bank was
instituted solely with the object of
allowing the people to put their saw
ings out at interest, and thus encourage
national thrift. Deposits may be made
in every postoffice of the kingdom and
in all the agencies Of the national
bank. The minimum that may be de-
posted Is one franc, and no fractions
Of franc are accepted. There is no
limit to the maximum amount that may
be deposited by the same depositor:
however, more than 5000 francs
($965) may be deposited In any period
Of IA days without special authorize
tion from the general management Of
the postofflce. Deposits are made by
purchasing special adhesive deposit
stamps, which are In reality receipts
for the money paid In and which are
pasted In bank book delivered to each
depositor free of charge and bearing
an official number. In this book ls en-
tered every transaction between the
depositor and the savings bank, includ-
Ing the calculation of interest Inter
est is calculated annually, and for this
purpose the books are called in and a
receipt given for them. Depositors
may correspond with the National Saw
ings bank free Of postal charges. The
law prohibits the hypothecating of a
savings bank book without, a special
permit from the management. After
the issue Of book, deposits may be
made and entered therein at any post,
Office Of the kingdom, and the same re-
ceipted for on the same book.

HEIGHT OF SEA WAVES.
The Greatest Are south OF Cape Horn
and Cape of Good Hope.

The Greatest Are south of Cape Horn
and Cape of Good Hope.
Waves are the agents Of tremendous
force, as the gatherings received by the
big ocean liners In the winter storms
tend to prove. But the waves Of the
North Atlantic are not the highest
waves nor the most forcible. The most
tremendous of seas are those that form
south of the Cape Of Good Hope and
Cape Horn, where the oceanic belt Is
unbroken by land, ...-
How high those southern waves rise
las not been accurately measured, so
Tar as can be discovered; but probably
they are not very much higher than the
waves farther north.
Sailors in modern times have never
seen such waves as those which the
early navigators declared attained
heights of 100 to 130 feet. La Perouse
asserted that he saw waves towering In
the Pacific to height OF nearly 200
feet In these more scientific days we
may say that the highest wave yet
measured had an altitude of about 81
feet
This was In the southern ocean, a
little north of the Antarctic regions /;
and 1t is quite certain that the highest
waves ever seen in that region did not
surpass So feet in altitude. A wave
Of that height would certainly be a
formidable looking object, and Its crest
would wash the windows of the fifth
story of many buildings,
The average height of the waves In
many oceans has been ascertained
with some approach to accuracy as the
result Of great many measurements
The highest waves observed In the In.
dian ocean, for example, are about 40
feet. The highest waves In the North
Atlantic are from 25 to 20 feet, and In
the Mediterranean from 16 to 10 feet.
Even the smaller Of these waves has
considerable destructive power. Some
OF them travel along at speed Of 25
miles an hour. A wave about 80 feet
high contains thousands Of tons Of wa.
ter, and when this immense force is
dashed against any structure the rnip
wrought Is likely to be impressible
