LADS OF AYRSHIRE, SCOTLAND.
Scotch Boys Reminded Traveller Of
American Youngsters.

From Scribners Magazine.
The carriers wagonette was approach
ing. The grand big horse. Mr.. Uendry,
himself a small, white haired, apple
checked man, with keen twinkling light
In his eyes, and the load Of women,
babies and boys which filled every part
of the vehicle. made a picture Of rustic
locomotion, and there was fine display
of courtesy when the boys jumped out to
walk. The mothers crowded close to-
gether and the babies were allowed to
sit on our knees. English country boys,
though I like them we'll enough, do not
particularly remind me OF American boys;
but Scotch boys, especially the barefoot
village boys of Ayrshire. reminded me In
div.dually of this. that and the other
companion of my youth. The eye which
never loses sight of yours. the bare, free
brow, the freckles, the plucky mouth, the
engaging air of freedom and enterprise
and humor. In more than one Ayrshire
face, brought up the image of a little
group Of schoolmates. now scattered from
Pennsylvania to New Mexico.
The Scotch boys whom I've met on
roads and hillsides have always been
about some business of their own, and
very much interested in its outcome-evi-
IDENTIFY had something their minds,
some adventure in hand. They were hur-
ry!ng to some rendezvous or YEARLY re-
turning with Jars and cans full of tad
poles or with strings Of fish or combs Of
wild honey.

Foot and Mouth Disease.

From the New York Medical Journal
1t is true that the disease may be con-
tracted by man. but the number of cases
which have occurred In the United States
has never been large, even where the dis
case has been widespread among cattle.
In lnan it is generally restricted to chill
dren who drink large quantities OF I'M
boiled milk and to adults who handle ami
mails infected with the disease.
Tie disease prevails much more extern
sively among tho cattle Of Europe than
among those OF the United States, and 1t
is believed by some veterinarians that
where the disease is prevalent among ami
mas it frequently occurs in human sub
jects without being recognized by the
physician.
1t IS rarely fatal though 1t causes great
losses from the diminution of the milk
secretion and the consequent interference
with the business OF the dairy. Whenever
the disease has appeared in America 1t
has heretofore been quickly suppressed by
q most rigid quarantine and the deStruc-
ton of the infected herds.
Where death occurs 1t seems to be due
to paralysis of the heart caused by the
toxins produced by the disease. So far
no specific bacillus has been isolated.
though the disease Is generally believed
to be Of microbial origin.

Englishmen in Other Business.

From the London Chronicle.
Gen. Blunt Pasha, who has just died at
the age OF seventy-four, is described as
the last of the group OF British officers
who took service in the Ottoman gendar-
merle at the time Of the Russo-Turkish
war. Another conspicuous member OF
that group was Col. Valentine Baker OF
tragic memory; but in the Turkish army
itself there were also several Englishmen.
notably Capt. Herbert who was in Plevna
with his regiment during the siege, and
whose account of that great military
drama. published several years ago. Is the
best extant, because 1t is the work of an
expert and inside eye witness.
But the curious thing is that during the
Franco-German war there were far. more
commissioned Britishers In the Prussian
army than fought for the cause OF the
sultan IN the Turkish campaign.
The very first officer to fall on the Ger
man side at Saarbruck, In 1870. was a
Capt Winsloe. who had also two other
brothers in tho Prussian service. Then
there was Campbell Of Craignish Cyho
ca ptured French eagle in a hand-to-hand
combat in the great cavalry charge at
MARSHA Tour, and Capt. Knox. Lieut..
Annesley, II Capt O'Danne. a Gen. Wright
and a score of others. Even now the
PrusSian army contains several Scots Of
ticers and notably Col Graham. who COM
manded a German column In the Chinese
campaign.

self in shape to give up active business.
He has ali kinds OF money, and now that
he has quit. may live a score Of years. He
expresses a desire for the quiet and RET
pose OF his Virginia home.
Some OF the Pittsburgers who are liv-
Ing in New York pick flaws in Mr.. Car
negie's story Of the sale OF the Carnegie
Steel Company to Mr.. Morgan and the
United States Steel Corporation. They
particularly laugh at the recital OF how
he sent his cousin, Mr.. LAWYER, on to
Pittsburg to See how his younger and
minor partners liked the arrangement and
Il they would approve of it-thiS before he
would consent TO make the deal. They say
that as soon as Mr.. Carnegie concluded his
end of the sale. on q basis of $1,000 a
share, he got on board ship and sailed
for the other side. leaving the most of
his associates in the dark as to what he
had done. In evidence of this. they re-
ferred to the fact that during the few
days following his departure an enter
prising promoter and broker of the name
of w. J. Hylands was reputed to have
made between $500 900 and 100000 In
commissions on sales of the stock of
Junior partners to somebody doing BUSH
ness through Morgan's office. One of
these partners, who was very clearly not
IN the know. was w. G. MOreland. secre-
tary of the Carnegie Steel Company. who
sold his thousand shares of stock for
81 900. 600. Mr.. Hyland making a scalp or
commission in the transaction Of about
sos. 900. A lawsuit grew out of this small
deal and the particulars were fully aired
at the time. W. G.. n. /,

NEW YORK BANKS.

NEW YORK. December 26-The state
ment OF clearing house banks for the
week shows that the banks hold $16,923,-
325 more than the requirements of the
% per cent reserve rule. This is an In
crease of s6.913,625 IN the proportionate
cash reserve as compared with last week
The statement follows:,

Surplus, S16,a23.325; Increase, s6913.6o5
Ex-Untted States deposits. SIS, 2339,7 700
Increase, $28.656 125.
The percentage Of the actual reserve
of the clearing house banks today was
265S.
The statement of banks and trust COM
panies of Greater New York, not report
ing to the clearing house. shows that
these institutions have aggregate deposits
of 81 1l5, 02G. 600; total cash on hand, S1OS,-
401. 500, and loans amounting to S1037,-
GAS, 300.
The E'inancier will say: The statement
Of the clearing house banks OF New York
city for the week ending December II
showed a continuance Of the very heavy
last previous statement. Loans were con-
tracted by S23, 500 800. the decrease in
cash was $3.50. zoo while deposits fell
off Sc, 6GJ,30o. The heavy decrease in
serve by over ia million dollars, SO that
while the banks lost 31s millions in cash.
the surplus reserve rose 81 ,0S5.625, stand
ing on Saturday, taking actual conditions
as a basis. at s1S,2 675.
The rather unusual decreases in loans
and deposits. amounting during the last
fortnight to over tx millions in loans
and to nearly 9Jk million dollars in de.
posts. are to be accounted forby reason
Of payments on the Panama loan and the
adjustment of a number of heavy Syndi-
cate operations. So far as the movement
OF money between banks is concerned the
New York banks have been gaining from
the interior, the higher rate for money
having attracted funds to this center.
1t Is noteworthy that the state banks
and trust companies OF greater New York
not reporting to the New York clearing
house, are showing steady increases in
loans. which indicate probably shift
ing Of current business to the trust com
panies. The increase in the loan item
of the latter institutions during the past
week was 50. 10000. while net deposits
rose s., 903.3OO.
The state banks and trust companies
however, did not fortfy themselves pro-
portionately in cash, the loss in that item
last week having been over one-hali
million dollars.
The banks, however, end this year in
very comfortable circumstances. the sur
plus reserve standing several million
dollars higher than reported twelve
months ago. 1t will be necessary for the
trust cOmpaninS to add to their cash re-
serve shortly In order to comply with the
state law requiring them to set aside
certain increased percentages OF cash until
a fixed maximum has been reached.

Public and Private Morals.

From the San Antonio Express.
Where high standard Of public morals
Is not maintained 1t does not speak well
for private morals, for the force Of exam
pie is everywhere to be considered. If We
choose to honor and exalt persons Of low
moral instincts and practices we thereby
lessen respect for the code upon which
society rests, and without which the fab
rio would fall into the mire and filth of
utter degradation. OF course. there Is a
line Of distinction between morality and
mere conventionality. That which some
persons might consider immoral might be
considered by other good people entirely
proper. or, at least. not really bad. One
need not be prudish In order to be moral.
But integrity and uprightness OF con-
duct, decency of department and respect
for public opinion regarding propriety in
both private and public life are essentials
not to be disregarded or evaded by those
who hope to hold honorable positions.
The public can hardly be too exacting in
this matter.
