 All of the paintings in the Yale School of Fine Arts are now on exhihi- lion. During the afternoon both the north and south trnncopts were filled. But the Trumbull collection attracted most of tho attention and 1t was easy to sec that the pictures on revolution ary subjects were those in which the public were most interested.
 In Peabody Museum tho exhibitions of minerals were passed by, but the skeletons of mammals were the objects of much interest The opening of Pea body Museum week days has made the museum the best known of the Yale buildings
 But none of tho exhibitions were more generally enjoyed than tho stelnert collection of musical instru- monts The carved organs the ancient spinnets, son- with weak tones, and some retaining all the former strength of their notes were fascinating, and arc well worth an af- ternoon spent among them.

 I"T wish at the outset cordially to ank you for the way in which you

 "Now of course. the whole success
 the work depends upon the attitude the people in the open country, of |e farming people of the United .ates. If they feel m awakening terest in what you are doing, they ,ould manifest It. Moreover, 1t is |sential that the farmers, the men Ilo actually live on the soil should Iel sense of ownership in this com gfsslon, should feel that you gentle an in Very truth represent them and |e responsive to their desires and shes, no less than to their needs.

 of questions and by holding meet gs In different parts of the United 'ates. But perhaps something more | 'n be done.

GREAT BANK DEPOSITS.
Those of This Country Much Exceed
 Those of Great Britain.

At the very time when the comptrol- Ter of tho currency makes public the latest reports of the national banks of the United states the latest banking statistics of Great Britain appear. This makes possible some interesting com parisons, The total deposits of all tho banks of the United Kingdom includ- Ing the Bank of England in July, 1908, amounted to about $4,575,O00,- 900, says the Wall street Journal. The deposits In the national banks of tho United states amounted to over $l,- 000,00O,OOO more.
 Not only this, but the deposits in the national banks of the United States are growing much moro rapid ly that the deposits in the banks of the United KingdOm From 1902 to 1908 the expansion of deposits in the national banks of this country amount ed to AS DOT cent, while in the same time tho deposits in the banks If tho United Kingdom Increased only ! per cent. This is shown by the following table comparing deposits in tho banks of the two countries during the last seven years.
