PAYING BY CHECK IN ENGLAND.
The Kind Of References Required to
Open a Bank Account In That
Country.

81 like the American custom of car
fying money loose In the pocket" said
d. H. Leban, retired banker Of Lon
don. I'm England gentlemen and busi-
ness men carry very little money with
them. Nearly everything Is paid for by
check, except, of course, money enough
to pay the small incidental expenses
of day.
IF a man goes into store to buy
hat he does not pay money for 1t but
gives check. II he is dining at pub
lie place he very likely pays for his
meal with a check. The system Of cred
It In England is different from that In
this country. and the mere fact that
man has an account \ q hank serves
to give him standing.
"One cannot open an account with
bank in England merely by carrying
money to the bank and depositing II.
He must have two first class refer
ences before a bank will accept his
account, and when reference Is given
1t means that the person giving It
would endorse or stand for the person
to whom II, is given.
"A reference In England means
more than q mere phrase. Checks on
banks In England cannot be obtained
for the mere asking. and man must
have an account in order to get checks
from any bank. They cannot be picked
up on bank counters or In public
places,
Private accounts in English banks
are not accepted unless they are paid
for. the general charge being $40 q
year. There are one or two banks In
England which discriminate 90 care
fully in the accounts they accept that
when person is fortunate enough to
be permitted to open an account with
them he can get credit In any city In
England or the continent Of Europe"

Consul General William H. Michael,
writing from Calcutta, sends the fol-
lowing account Of new food that
Is proposed 30 be used In India:
There Is to be found IN the jungle
a seed called "befri," which was dis
covered ON the west side Of India
during the last famine, and was
mixed with food grains with excel
lent results. 1t is now suggested
that an effort be made to gather this
seed In large quantities and hold 1t
for use when the famine conditions
are fully developed. The chief med
zeal officer Of Baroda State made the
discovery Of the seed, and one ia
miliar with its value as food has writ
ten to Bombay paper as follows:
1.-THE seed contains 11.13 per cent.
Of albuminoids, whereas their proper
ton Is 1876 per cent. In Indian wheat
and 16 In oatmeal. In other words,
befri Is IS per cent. more nutritious
than wheat and 80 per cent. more
50 than oatmeal. The reporter on
economic products to the Government
has pronounced 1t to be good food.
As scarcity, II not famine, Is likely
to prevail, would, In the interest
Of the public, suggest that befri might

Man Alleged to Have Fired House and

Montgomery, Ala.-Five children OF
James Kennedy, were burned to death
Saturday and two others so badly
burned that they will die.
The crime is charged to the father,
who, the mother says, locked the little
fellows In and then set fire to the
house. The police are looking fer
Kennedy, who has not yet been locat-
ed. The man and woman were sepa-
rated, and had been litigating over
children. The woman says she was at
neighbor's, and saw Kennedy go to
the house, lock the doors and then
set fire to 1t. 1t was a mass of flames
before the department could put It out,
and the five children taken out dead
were so badly mutilated as to be un-
recognizable. Those alive were horri.
bly, burned. The scene was one to
