POSTAL BANKS IN BELGIUM
Facilities Afforded by the Government
for Saving, Insurance and
Life Annutties.

Across a narrow sea from England is a
little country which. though densely popu-
lated, has practically no paupers. nor do
the people emigrate. This is thrifty Bel
gium, where there Is thrift OF the indi-
vidual. thrift of the family, cooperative
thrift, national thrift. and prosperity In the
face OF the keenest competition Of its
powerful ~neighbors, England, France and
Germany.
The government, instead OF paying old
age pensions and dispensing charity, has
machinery for the encouragement of thrift
and thereby for the prevention of depend
ence. It pays the individual interest on
his savings, 1t insures his life and It wtll
give him an annuity IL he save to pay
for It.
In the government savings bank, deposits
may be made in every postoffice Of the
kingdom and in all branches of the ma
tional bank. The minimum deposit is l
franc. There is no maximum. Deposits
are made by special adhesive deposit
stamps, which are, in reality, receipts for
the money paid in. and which are pasted
in a bank book delivered to each depositor
free Of charge and bearing an official num-
Der. In this book is entered every trans
action between the deposition and the bank,
including the calculating OF interest, which
Is done annually. Depositors may corre-
spond with the national savings bank free
of postal charges and, after the issue Of a
book. a depositor may put money in any
postoffice of the kingdom.
The government provides in a special
way for those who cannot put aside so
large a sum as a franc at a time. 1t
authorizes smaller deposits by postage
stamps in order to encourage school chill
dren. farm laborers and the like. and rural
postmen carry with them the necessary
forms for this purpose. and urge the pub
lie to make use of the savings bank in
this way. o.
Life annuities may be contracted for at
all branches of the savings bank. at all
branches of the national bank, at all post
offices and at the offices Of all tax re-
ceivers.
The minimum payment that may be made
is 1 franc, and the smallest annuity paid
by the fund is l franc, while the largest
is 1900 francs. The annuities become paya-
BILE at the end Of each completed year from
the age of 50 to s..
Annuities are contracted for in two ways,
by paying in the capital benefit to any
heir, and by providing that the capital, less
8 per cent for general expenses, shall be
paid over to the heirs after the death Of
the beneficiary. Any person who depends
solely upon his own work for his sus-
tenance. and who. before the. age stipulated
for the payment of the annuity, becomes
disabled. is allowed to draw at once an
annuity calculated upon from the amount
Of the payments made up to the time OF
his becoming incapacitated.
In addition to the annuity fund there Is
a government insurance fund. the manage
ment of which is under government guar
antee. Life or endowment policies may be
contracted for. the latter payable at the
end of ten. fifteen, twenty or twenty-five
years. or for a period ending at the ages
of IS. 90 or 60 years.-Boston Globe.

not only hath the enemy found out all the
state. After wandering over the west
Faulkner, too, moved to Nebraska, but to
another part of the state. A couple Of
months ago he moved to Schuyler.
Excursions to the east proved attractive
to the two Schuyler residents. who had
not visited their native Ulster county since
they left It forty years ago. They came
east the same day, but by different routes.
One day the steamer Hendrick Hudson
was pushing its prov through the Hudson
river as It's pilot steered for Kingston
Point, and a large crowd gathered on the
lower deck eager TO step ashore. Foremost
among the crowd was an elderly woman
OF commanding appearance, whose looks
belied her years. Beside her stood a stout,
well preserved man.. upon whose gray hair
a broad sombrero fitted like a crown.
Pardon me. but would you mind telling
me how 1 can reach saugerties?" inquired
the woman OF the ~gray-haired man.

live there. but it's forty years since /

Forty years repeated the woman.
There was a tremor in her voice that
caused the gray-haired man TO look sharply
at her.

hand, and as the woman looked into his
eyes her own eyes filled with tears and
she only said:

BRADsTREET's REVIEW OF TRADE
Report Are somewhat Irregular,
living 10 Weather Conditions.

Owing TO Weather Conditions.
NEW YORK. Oct. 9.-Bradstreet's tomor-
row will say:
Although trade reports are somewhat ir-
regular in character owing largely to vary
Ing weather conditions in different sections
OF the country and uncertainties caused by
impending elections, the general undertone
is toward sustained Improvement. Country
trade has been comparatively quiet, be-
cause the farmers have been taking ad-
vantage Of the ideal weather TO complete
their harvesting. However, the heavy mar
keting of crops has made for an increased
railway tonnage and improved collections
considerably, while exports of wheat are
heavy. Iron and steel are quiet, impend-
ing elections being a deterrent influence,
but production is increasing in anticipation
of forthcoming good business and there
Is more doing I'm other industrial lines.
There Is less industrial fdleness, and in
some instances business Is developing for
the first quarter of 1909, especially In
shoes, lumber and pig iron.
The pig iron production for September
exceeded that Of August by AZ per cent
and 1t was the heaviest total recorded
since November last. while 1t represents
an increase of 80 per cent over January,
