It used to be thought that a cross. nervous person had bad disposi- ton" Now it is known that a ner- vous condition often results from kid ney trouble.
 There is a great deal of uric acid made in the human body. It is the duty of the kidneys to filter off this uric acid. but when the kidneys are weak. the poison is peddled about the body by the blood. and it irritates the whole nervous system. causing headache. dizzy spells. fits of "blues," neuralgia attacks. rheumatic pain, weak eyesight. dull, tired days. and a constant inclination to worry over trifles
 You feel as if you can't stand any noise about you. The little ones often wonder what makes mother so cross and nervous The business man is ill-tempered with his help. and makes big fuss over every little thing that goes wrong
 Another effect of uric poisoning is dropsy. or blOating-puffy pouches below the eyes, swollen wrists, ankles and limbs.

which reckless debtor banks often took advantage of creditor banks. The need of reform was manifest. but it was not until the summer of 1858 that the officers of thirty-eight New York banks met and appointed a committee to devise a more simple system.
 on October II representatives of ftfty-two of the fifty-seven banks then in New York city met in the basement of II Wall Street and made the first exchanges under the new system. which was fundamentally the same as that used today. The clear ings of the first day were 2(64S, 109. which have since been eclipsed by the days clearings of single bank
 The original members of the Clear ing House Association paid no ad- mission fee. Other banks were taken in on payment of first $500. then $1.- 900. and later on payments propor- toned to their capital In 1895 the membership had risen to siNty-seven, but it has been reduced by consoli- dations tO fifty. The youngest bank in the Clearing House in point of membership is the Union Exchange National of 16O Fifth avenue. which was admitted at the last annual meeting

In addition to the fifty member banks who thus eXpeditiOUsly settle the differences among them there are twenty-seVen banks and trust com panies not belonging to the assOcia tion which clear through some mem Der Ninety per cent of all the ex- changes of the city are made through the Clearing House. The rules regu- lating the actions both of members and non- members are very rigorous and include the requirement. of week ly statements of conditions of each one. which are published at noon on Saturday, with a summary of the average condition of all the banks combined
 The services of the Clearing House are not confined to the effecting of exchanges and settling of balances. At critical times. as in the panic of 1907. the Clearing House is able to act as a sort of central bank, and by pooling the reserves" all it's mem bers protect the weaker ones.
 It is very evident that the men directing such an institution as this must be at the head of the banking profession. The officers of the New York Clearing House Association may be called a bankers legion of honor whose membership is precluded from

DIABETES

/ From late figures the hope of recov- cry under the new emollient treatment seems to be about as follows: k In people of sixty and over results are quite uniform, probably nine-tenths frecovering. While at fifty and other a large majority of all cases yield to the treatment, below fifty and approach ing forty the disease gets more stub born. and between thirty and forty the percentage is not high-probabIy not much over half yielding.
 Under thirty the percentage is less and in children recoveries have been very few and most of those were ob tained with the aid of skilled physi- clans forcing nutrition, with alkaline treatment to prevent formation of ace tones

Park are continually reminded that nearby is the unrivalled geological collection Of the Hon. Walter Roths- child. his lordship's son and heir of modern times Here are kangaroos, cassowaries. rheas, ostriches. zebras- of which the Hon. Walter has driven a team more often than once-and even stranger animals from other climes that are not to be met with outside the gates of the completest zoo.
 Although it has been rashly stated that quite half of the animals ex- hibited at our fine Geological Gardens are the Hon. Walters property. it is the fact that this ardent collector is in the habit of sending much of his surplus live stock to Regents Park. Many are the stOriSs that cluster around Lord Rothschild's heir-taIes that have to be swallowed with the proverbial grain of salt It is true. however. that Tring Park is the Mecca of the naturalists of the world.

TOTAL OF THE NEW
 YORK CLEARING HOUSE
Its Transactions Run Into TriIlions
 of Dollars

The total transactions of the New York Clearing House last year lend ed September 30. 191O,) were almost l07 billion dollars. The total of it's transactions since it was organized in 1853 reaches the sum of $2,23O.- IA. 4.2g1 .666
 Last year it's transactions were about 62 per cent of all the bank clearings of the United States. They were nearly three times those of Bos- ton, Philadelphia, St Louis and Pitts burg combined. says Moody's Maga- zine. and nearly four times those of all the rest of the country outside of these four cities.
 In the calendar year 1909 total bank clearings in London were S65.- SGs.932, ,000. Those of New York were S103, ,5SS, 13S, 320. The increase in clearings at the New York Clearing House was 30.6 per cent. The larg est record of clearings in London in one day was $527. 7.411.2GO. The largest one days clearings in New York were $736. .461.5 .54S.
 In 1853 there were fifty seven banks in New York city, each of them re- ceiving every day checks and other items on each of the other fiftysiX banks. which had to be presented for collection. All these items had to be assorted at the end of the day and listed on separate slips to which were added the items coming through the mails the next morning. Then each bank sent out a porter or runner tO make the rounds of the banking dis trict. presenting to each bank the items against it and receiving the items held by it against his own bank, all being recorded in a pass book which he turned in on his re- turn. It was nearly an all day job for the runner, and the time con- sumed in making the exchanges for bade any possibility of daily settle ments of balances. It was. cOnse- quently. the custom to make weekly settlements following the exchanges of Friday morning. On that day several balances due his hank and sent out a runner to collect them, at the same time giving him the coin to pay the balances due from his bank to the others. After the settlement there were meetings to adjust differ ences
 This primitive system was not only wasteful of time and labor but it exposed the banks to Joss through robberies of it's messengers and made possible objectionable practices by

LORD ROTHSCH|LD
 LOVED BY JEWS
Modest Ways but Lavish Generosity
 .of Great Jewish Financier.

Tt can safely be asserted" writes an English correspondent of the American Hebrew. that few person alities have left their impress upon our Jewish communal life as has Ma than Meyer, first Baron Rothschild. See the great financier making q round of the East Side synagogues on every Kippur afternoon and mark the hundreds of correligionists who proudly walk in his train!
 True. it were far more in keeping with the solemnity of the day had they remained within the confines of their own chevras. But apparently the opportunity of walking in the steps of a live Jewish peer and a millionaire many times over to boot is irresistible.

 The colored man looked at him and said: Look here. boss. you look like a white man and l suppose you is. but I ain't going to lend you no. 3 cents today.

Some Suggestions.

As general rule, a picture should
be hung so that the middle will fall
about the level OF the eye Of person
Of average height.
People who are fortunate enough
to possess both oils and water colors
do not hang them on the same walls
Large pictures need distance to give
the proper effect Of perspective. II
they must be hung in small rooms, .
good result is obtained by hanging
them opposite doors.
sideboard cover in coarse gray
linen has a border OF stiff poplar
trees embroidered in cross stitch to
match the design OF unique frieze
When possible, 1t is a good plan
10 hang pictures without wires on
any visible support. 1t wires must be
used they should be OF the smallest
size consistent with the weight of the
picture.
The ivory and green cretonne bought
70 ut UP a green and white summer
bedroom proved a dire failure at the
first washing. 1t is advisable to test
Jamples OF such materials before in.

The especial favorite is the rag car

So industrious women are plating
Just such oval mats as used to lie at
the foot of grandmother's stairs. These
can be made entirely at home.
Materials are cut in strips half an
inch 10 an inch and one-half In width
according to the thickness OF the
cloth.
Then they are braided In the usual
three stranded way. the thin wide
strips making Just the same thickness
as the narrow heavy strips.
