Origin and History Of This Feature Of
English Seeyrities

Origin and History Of This Feature Of
English SeeS-ities.
Almost all the debt OF England con-
sistS OF the funded debt. so called. and
the greater part OF this Is made up or
'consols." which Is an abbreviation OF
consolidated stocks" of which we
read every day in the papers. and the
price Of consols is the financial pulse
OF England.
Consols were created I'm 1852 by stat
ute % OF George H.. chapter 81. But
no scrap OF paper ever represented a
ronsol until. TO facilitate commerce, IN
1870 statute was passed allowing the
government to issue certificates TO rep
resent them. The property that all the
world asked the price OF every day was
unrepresented 10y any monetary securi-
ties until 1870. and even now very few
certificates have been issued.
Now, this is consol. and this is its
history: Originally some one had loan
ed the government 600. and the gov
eminent had caused his name TO be en-.
rolled on its books as n creditor, from
whom il had received that amount
and to whom some day il might, IL IL
chose. repay It. IL need never do so,
but until IL did IL must pay him an an-
nuity of E3-that is. he received 3 per
cent on his money as long as the gov
eminent chose TO keep IL. but the gov
eminent could pay II back at any
time it chose to do so. This creditor
then owned consol-that is. he owned
such debt from the government as
just described.
II he wished to transfer what rights
he habitat is, his per cent per an
num-and the right TO his elOO when.
II ever. the government chose TO return
II. he could 90 TO the Bank OF England
with his transferee and receive the
purchase price from him. and the stock
would be transferred to the man pay
ing the consideration. and that mans
name would be placed on the govern
ment's book in the place OF the for
mer owner. and thereafter the trans
fierce would receive the f3 year and
the f100. if it was ever paid back. But
no paper passed except the receipt for
the purchase money which was given
10y the buyer and which the bank off,
cial checked with n red mark.
These receipts We're not certificates
OF ownership and were seldom pre-
served. never except for purposes of
Identification when the new owner
went TO draw his first dividend. After
that they were destroyed. Ii is true in
old times the owner OF consol was
given n tally. which was nothing but a
block Of wood with notches on It split
in two so that a portion OF each notch
should be on each half, and the gov
eminent kept one half and the owner
OF the stock the other.
These showed the state of the &c.
count between the government and ia;
creditor. but this was an antiquated
system Of keeping accounts. brought
down from the days when writing was
little known. and at last they were
abolished 10y act OF parliament and
burned There were so many OF them
that when they were thrown into the
furnaces these became superheated.
and the parliament houses burned
down. which perhaps served the au-
thorities right for keeping the anti
Quated system so long.

PROMISES OF ELECTRICAL ERA,
Advancement That Will Open Natures
Heart to Man.

Fire made man master Of the mole
cule; electricity makes him master OK
the atom and opens natures heart.
Fire melted sand to glass and pre-
pared the path for a telescope for Gal
ileo, a camera for Daguerre, a micro
scope for Pasteur, engines for Watt,
Stephenson, Parsons and De Laval;
all the streams of lead and iron, cop.
per and zinc ever smelted from their
ores, all the acids, oils and alcohols.
But all these electricity can do, do
it better than fame, and greater works
than these, tasks beyond the power OF
fire. The electrical era Is only dawn
ing. There are motors and dynamos,
heaters and lamps, chemical dividers
and batteries. The larger the field OF
electricity the cheaper it will become
and the bigger will be the demand.
When there are not only telephones
In every house, but sewing machine
motors, fans, smoothing irons, chadng
dishes and the like, electricity will be-
ain to mean as much for man to-day
as, long ago, did the first kindling OF
fire with slowly won arts OF furnace
and lamp, oven and smelter, crucible
and still. Thus saith prophet OF
| electricity.

Uncle Sans Weather Work.

Uncle Sam is right in spending
good deal of money on weather, de-
clares the St. Louis GlObe-DemoCrat.
He watches it everywhere in his broad
domain with every known delicate In
strument, and, wisely Diminishing faulty
forecasts, tries to get closer to the
business of tomorrow. Europe, for
all its experience, has GorAe no better
if as well. Observations run back
there 200 years, and no two OF the
l9ng-range philosophers agree. They
have tabulated the level Of lakes, the
movement of glaciers, the freezing and
liberation of rivers, the seasonal traits
Of vegetation, and the periodicity OF
sun spots, all to no particular purpose
as yet in establishing weather rota'
ton. On the rocks IS scratched the
testimony of great icecaps that adj
vanced and retreated, but man is not
particularly interested in a range as
long as that. He would like to be
able to see two days ahead, and trust
that in indulging the hope he Is not
chasing a rainbow.

A few days prior to the Marathan
race in the London stadium an advo-
cate of fruit diet, chiefly bananas, aged
43, offered to run a race with flesh
eater around the island of Zealand.
Since the banana man has earned a
good many triumphs as a runner IN
the sporting world Of Denmark, the
beef-eaters did not show any burning
zeal to accept the challenge till the
well-known paper, Politiken, offered
a prize of 100 kroner to the winner.
A grocer's assistant, aged Il, was Sc
lected as the upholder of beef eating,
and for two days and a half the rum
ners kept abreast of one another. Then
the banana man tagged, and when
after nearly five days the young
grocer arrived at Copenhagen, having
duly finished his course, his opponent
had vanished. The butchers Of Zea
land have presented a silver bowl to
the victor.

A Duty Of The Rieh.

New York society in the aggregate
has been made to suffer reproach for
4he sins of few Of the uncultured and
jelf-indulgent wealthy. Most people
who know society'in New York, Cleve'
and and Pittsburg, cities which have
recently been sensatiOnalized by the
social errors of the reckless rich,
would say that the majority Of people
in what are described as exclusive
circles are veil ordered, quiet, intelli-
gent people. Still, DIR. Lee states the
true principle in saying that the
wealthy and influential are under a
special obligation on account Of the
position which makes
their example for good or bad conta,
IgioUs. Ethically, remarks the Phila-
Idelphia Public Ledger, the duty OF up
right living is the same for rich and
poor. Socially there is the difference
shat the rich and eminent are OF ne"
.cessity more widely observed and
closely copied They loosen the bonds
aof behavior among many If they pre-
sent the excuse Of bad example. New
York society rs not as careless as it
lis painted, but all fashionable" coter'
les could be improved by strict ostra'
cism of those who do not follow the
rules of social morality.

astride Of a horse. Generations of
fox-hunting fathers had given him
heritage Of horsemanship which the
years he had spent upon the sea
could not eradicate. Not only was
he an expert rider, but he was thor
oughly familiar with what could be
got out of horse. He knew how to
ride him to the best advantage, when
to spare him and when to press him.
He had but one desire, to ride down
strathgate and wrest Ellen from his
hands. He had no doubt that the
three were headed for Portsmouth.
AS If to punish him for his misuse
of noble steed who responded gal.
lantly to every incentive of whip,
spur, voice and appeal his master
brought to bear, Sailor had the bad
luck to cast shoe. A few leaps and
he went instantly lame. With a bit
ter curse Darlington dismounted and
examined the horse. The poor beast
stood painting and exhausted, his
tanks heaving, his heart beating, his
head dropping. The groom had been
distanced and left behind. Caring
ton was alone with a lame horse miles,
apparently, from posting station or
a blacksmith's shop. There was moth
ing to do but wait. He sat down by
the roadside, his eyes strained back
ward in the direction whence he had
come, looking for the groom. After
half an hour or so of delay, which
fretted him beyond measure, he dis
covered the fellow leisurely trottine
over a hill. Aroused by the halloo;
Of his master, the boy suddenl!
quickened his pace and soon drew reil
beside him.
What do you mean" cried Car
rington, furiously, "by loafing alons
in that way? l told you to keep Vi
with me-"
my lud," said the boy, touching hi
hat and dismounting, mo man Of
earth could keep up with you withou
, killing his horse, and there are fey
horses, even If killed, that'd be equa
, to Sailor, sir. 'Tisn't in this mare,
know. She was in distress severa
miles back. and / pulled her up. II
/ hadn't, she wouldn't be here"
There was sense In what the DO
> said. and Darlington could not but q
