Savinqs institutions.

The savings bank figures of the comptroller of the currency are inn pressive in their aggregate; they are less fiattering to national thrift and prosperity when analysed than is easi- ly assumed from a casual glance at their totals. On the other hand, the comptroller's figures relate only to the institutions that bear the name of savings banks, while there are several other classes of institutions that do the same sort of business and the savings of the people are far greater than the deposits reported by the savings banks alone.
 The comptroller reports an increase in the past fiscal year of 311, 1000 in the number of depositors, and aggregate deposits of something over $4,000, ,000,- 900, an increase of rather more than $500, 100000 during the year. The av- craze deposit per capita increased dur ing the year from S420 to $445, but 8 per cent. interest on the sum due de- posftors a year ago would account for half of this gain; the small remainder is the excess of deposits over with drawals. Roughly speaking, the de- positors gain about 3 per cent. 3. year by interest and 3 per cent. by deposits 1n excess of the sums taken out In ten years the number of depositors has increased about 50 per cent, and the average deposit has increased but little more than 10 per cent, or 1 per cent. a year.-Philadelphia Record.

SIXTY CENTS AN HOUR
Wanted by Waterbury BrickIayers the Year Round-object to Minimum Wage.

A petition is being circulated among the members of the Waterbury Brick layers and Plasterers' union which calls for a uniform wage scale of sixty cents per hour and a half holiday dur ing the summer months. The present pay is sixty cents, but there is g. min imum wage of fifty cents, and this the members of the union would like to have removed.
 The matter has been under consid- eration by the union for some time. At various meetings the subject has been brought up, but in each instance, ow- ing to the failure of all of the mem bers to be present, decisive action was deferred in order to give all the mem berS a chance to see and study the contents of the petition.
 The petition in circulation already contains the names of most members of the body. When it has been passed around to all the members meeting will be called and then formal action taken toward presenting the. petition to the Master Builders association.
 A man who was formerly a brick layer, but who is now in other busi- ness, said last week that the demand for a sixty cent wage scale was due to the action taken by some of the build CTS in reducing the mems wages to fifty cents an hour in the winter months.
 "In the summer" said this man, "winen work is plenty. the men are paid sixty cents an hour. but in the winter few of the local builders pay over fifty cents. The men think they ought to be paid sixty cents an hour the year round and that they should also be given a half day off in the summer months
 Master builders declined to discuss the matter, saying they preferred to wait and see the petition before mak- ing any comm nent.

STATUS OF BARRIERS.
What tho Annual Reports show-BiII
 to Repeal Law

c. Collard Adams of Cromwell, who interested himself two years ago in favor of the bill which passed the house, two to one, but failed to pass the senate, eli1ninat ting the board of examiners of barbers, and is now in- teresting himself in the passage of that same bill, was at the capitol last week copying the reports of the barbers' commission for 1902, 1905, 1904, 1905 and 1906.
 That of 1907 was never made as the secretary had been removed by the governor for sufficient reasons That of 1908 was printed for the use of the members of both houses.
 Mr. Adams found the 1909 report and copied 1t, but the 1910 report had been taken away by the secretary and had not been returned. Governor Weeks located it with the secretary of the barbers' commission and gave or derS to have it shown to MT. Adams and to have 1t returned to his office before next Tuesday. A comparison of the reports for 1909 and 1910 gives fair view of the present status
 The 1909 report shows 700 barber shops inspected: in 1910, LBS In 1909 there were 225 examined and no rejections reported, fees $1,125, 1884 renewals of licenses at $1, making, with cash on hand, receipts of sS,064.- 7S.
 That for 1910 shows 279 examined and passed and 105 rejected; fees, s1.920 with 1856 renewals, making with cash on hand a total of $3,- 97s.9S.
 In 1909, only forty seven shops were found unsanitary, in 1910 there were 150. Meriden had thirty-nine shops of which twenty-one were declared unsanitary.
 In 1909 the examiner served s52 days and travelled 21,70S miles, while P. H. O'Brien received S3S7.36, but did not report days and miles; total to examiners, S2,7S9.60.
 The 1910 report shows 546 days and 29,320 miles. for which they received a total of s3,614.6O, and that there arc in the state 2,439 skilled barbers, which does not tally with 1856 H- censeS issued
 The 1910 reports recommend that the authority to prosecute be taken from the board of health and con- ferred on the barbers' examiners.

T haven't come to talk, ma'an1. came"
 "Oh. you came to repair the furnace, you will say, and I only hope you're in earnest and that you won't begin talk ing about our national expenditures for rivers and harbors. There was an old man here day before yesterday and 1 he walked around the furnace three times and hit it with a hammer and turned the damper and then sat down and talked about rivers and harbors until I had to speak quite severely to him and tell him that aL man of his years should be thinking of more sol- emn and sacred things than rivers and harbors and all the time he was charging 50 cents an hour. which seems to be a common practice with men who fix furnaces and leave them in worse shape than they found them in.
 We've had a dozen different men l here in the last three weeks and they have talked about everything from the progress of the Panama canal to the tariff on wood pulp, and still our house is full of smoke and SoOt, and I have caught galloping bronchitis from put ting my head out of the window to get a breath of fresh air. My husband is so good -natured that he pays the bills without a word of protest, but ! won't stand by and see hlm robbed without saying what l think, and so l tell you right now that if you've come here to explain the new nationalism and charge 50 cents an hour for doing it you can right-about face and leave the premises. Of course, if you really mean to fix the furnace and have come here in good faith that's different"
 If you'd let me explain, ma'am--'
 "Yes. of course, if I'd let you ex- plain you'd keep on explaining all day and charge 50 cents an hour and I see very plainly you're one of these talkative men. Will you fix the fur mace or not?"

SCRATCHED SO SHE
 COULD NOT SLEEP

q write to ten you how thankful I am for the wonderful Cuticura Rem edies. My little niece had eczema for five years and when her mother died took care of the child. It was all over her faco and body, also on her head. She scratched so that she could not sleep nights. used Cuticura Soap to wash her with and then applied Cuticura Ointment. I did not use quits half the Cuticura Soap and Ointment, together with Cuticura Resolvent, when you could see a change and they cured her nicely. Now she Is eleven years old and has never been bothered with ec- zema since. My friends think 1t Is just great the way the baby was cured by Cuticura. Shewas taken with the eczema when two years old. She was covered with big sores and her mother had an the best doctors and tried all kinds of salves and medicines without effect until we used Cuticura Remedies. Mrs. H. Kiernan, 6e3 Quincy St..

T suppose you've come to fix the furnace" said Mrs. Griggs to the somewhat frowsy delegate who had knocked at the back door. My hus- band said he'd send a man to fix the furnace, and goodness knows it's high time, for the house is full of smoke and Pm always putting my head out of the window to avoid being suffo- cated and I'm afraid I'll catch my death of cold doing it, even if I don't have pneumonia. l hope you know how to fix 8 furnace so it will stay fixed. I'm tired of having men come here and tinker around for half a day and talk politics and charge S7, and then leave the furnace in worse shape than when they came.
 You are mistaken, ma am, I'm not"
 "Oh, of course you will say you are not like the others They all say that. There was a man with red hair here last week and he said he always guar anteed his work, and if the furnace wasn't in perfect condition when he was done he'd come back and fix it over free of charge. Then he just stood here and talked and talked and insisted that congress will be recreant to its trust unless it gives proper consideration to the parcels post bill, just as though the parcels post had anything to do with a fur mace that smokes and fills the house with soot and ashes, to say nothing of smells that would drive any woman into the street.
 That's the way with all you work men. You want to talk instead of do- ing your work. That red-headed man charged 50 cents an hour for the time he was here, and all he did was to talk about the parcels post and the way to overcome the deficit in the post office department, and when he did go into the basement to look at the furnace he opened a can of my preserved cherries and helped himself and charged 50 cents an hour for the time he spent eating them. So I am entirely out of patience, and if you have come here to talk you can go away again.
