A Fulton, Mo, man recently gave
each of his three sons a library table
of polished walnut. The tables were
made of wood from tree which the
man planted 60 years ago, when a boy.
The trouble with most boys in plant
ing for the benefit of their sons in the
future is that the library tables would
be mostly constructed from the wood
of wild oats

In 1895 Tolstoi renounced all
property rights in the copyrights,
his lands and money. He wished
the books given to the peoples OF all
lands without profit to himself. His

Water Power Deveio m n (.

The Typographical and climatic con-
ditions on the Vermont side of Lake
Champlain do not differ materially from
those to be found in the New York
region. 1t follows as matter of course
that the possibility of developing water
power is practically the same in the
Adirondacks and the Green Mountains.
The pertinence of these observations
will be found by Vermonters in the re-
marks made by Governor-elect Dix of
New York at the banquet of the Demo-
cratic club on Thursday evening. In
the course of his speech Governor Dix
said:
Until comparatively recent period
we have overlooked and neglected the
building up and development of the
great water pow ers which nature has
opened to us in the practically exhaust
less and wonderful streams of northern
New York, that for so long a time have
run idly and unclaimed to the sea.
THE wonderful inventions of modern
days which enable US to harness the
different forces of nature and transport
power and energy for great distan ces
without material loss, present to us
here in New York an opportunity of
which in the interests of the people We
should avail ourselves.
1--WE could thus render ourselves
largely Independent of any sources OF
supply outside our own borders and
place ourselves in a position which
would prevent the tremendous loss we
now sustain by permitting those re-
sources to go unused.
"a constructive administration OF
our affairs requires the proper develop
ment of all the resources of the State.
Coal in New York State costs the man.
ufacturer much more than it costs his
competitor in any of the coal producing
States. Cheap power rs vital to manu-
facturers and to continued industrial
supremacy; and water, with which we
have been so beautifully supplied, is
practically the one mighty natural re-
source of our State for the develop
ment of power that vital and funda.
mental requisite to the prosperity and
comfort of great industrial common
wealth. Burlington Free Press.

post account. French men-of-war
carry branch banks for the convenience
of sailors. British soldiers stationed
abroad may make deposits in the postal
savings bank through the war office
public accounts. If deposit account
has reached the maximum allowed, the
postal savings banks of the United
Kingdom, Canada, France, Italy, and
other countries will invest any addition
al amount deposited in government Sc
curities. This service is rendered gratis
or for nominal charge. In the United
Kingdom depositor may purchase in
surance or an annuity from the postal
savings bank.
In regard to the withdrawals of funds
there is usually a provision requiring
notice, which is not always insisted up
on. In the United Kingdom a deposit
tor "on presentation of his book at any
postoffice open for saving-bank business
can withdraw Immediately a sum not
exceeding FL" Larger amounts may
be withdrawn upon receipt of an answer
to telegram sent to the head office.
Belgium allows depositors, upon presen-
tation of their books, ION the sole con-
dition of proving their identity, to with
draw at any postoffice whatever sums
not exceeding 100 francs" $500. This
provision is extremely convenient for
travellers.
Austria has added an interesting fea-
ture to its savings-bank system in allow
ing checking deposits to be made separ.
ate from the savings deposits. On de-
post of 100 crowns $500 such an ac-
count may be opened. This deposit may
be increased directly by the depositor OF
by remittances by third parties. Fol
instance, suppose that A wishes to pay
B 20 crowns, both having check &C.
counts. A can send check on his &C
count to the postal savings-bank in B's
town. BIS account would be credited
with the amount, and B would be mott
fed to that effect. Thus the payment
would be affected without the use oil
cash by the use of book entries. Dur.
ing the year 1908 over $1,000, 900, 00(
was transferred in this manner. Hold
ers of checking accounts can make such
transfers to 1.-THE Levant, and through
banks in Belgium, Germany, England
! France, Italy, and Switzerland.
The cost of administration of the pos
tai business varies from 0.23 of l pei
cent. of deposits in Italy to 1.35 pei
cent. in Austria; the latter, however
includes the cost of the check service
Nearly all countries make considerable
profit from the system. - Burlington

HUMAN DISSECTION.
Surgery and the Anatomists In the
Olden DAYS.

For long time Alexandria was the
only medical center of the world, and
the physician Galen, born about 100
A. D., had to journey from Rome to
the African city even to see a skele-
ton. He sent his students to the Ger
man battlefields to dissect the bodies
of the national enemies, while he him
self used apes as most resembling hui
man beings. Human dissection was
revived in Bologna in the fourteenth
century, where Madonna Manzolina
later was professor of anatomy. I'M
doubtedly one of the first women doc
tors. if not the very first. Leonardo
da Ninci, painter of The Last Sup
per-" was Il great anatOmist, but dis
section had fallen into disuse when
Vesallus finally revived it about the
middle of the sixteenth century.
Even in comparatively modern times
anatOmists have been the object of at
tacks 10y the populace. In 1868 DR..
John Shipper of Philadelphia was
mobbcd as grave robbcr. Doctors
riots in New York occurred twenty
three years later and We're due to the
belief that the medical students rob
bed graves continually. 1t was the
lack Of opportunity to obtain subjects
regularly that led to the practice of
grave robbing and originated what
DR. Keene calls "a set of the lowest
possible villains-the resurrectionists. D."
