THRIFT OF THE SWISS

The Swiss Government has just pub
lished the results of an inquiry it has
been making into the savings of the
Swiss people, and the means of thrift
at their disposal.
1t applied direct to the savings
banks to supply the information re-
CURED. Seven banks out of total or
1864 refused to comply with the Coy
ernment's request, but the other l047
all sent in full particulars of their
work.
Everywhere it is apparent that thrift
is very much. on the increase. For in
stance, in ten years from 1897 to
1908 the average sum in sayigns banks
per head of the Swiss population rose
from 500 to AS francs. In other words,
Switzerland, from the savings bank
standard, is the thriftiest nation.
Next to her comes Denmark, With
391 frances saved per head of popula-
ton, and then, a long way behind, the
German empire with 291 PRUSSIA sos.
Bavaria 80, SaXony 405, and Wurtem-
berg 23D, Norway 270, the United
Statr 220, Austria 211, Sweden 1917,
Hungary 159. France 1873, Belgium 129,
Great Britain 122, Italy 108, the Meth
erlands SO. and Russia 20. :
Of course, it must always be remem-
bered how many forms of saving ex.
list; and II is doubtful whether life in
surance, for instance, it as common In
Switzerland as in England. Switzer-
land as yet has no Postoffice savings
bank, and no penny servings bank, al
though thirty-nine of her savings
banks will open an account for a sum
/, CT one franc or less, while only three
require 10 francs or more as a deposit
The Swiss Government Is naturally
exceedingly anxious to promote thrift
in every possible way, and to do this
end nothing is considered better than
the often discussed plan of the intro
duction of Postofhce savings banks on
the British system. At the end Of
1908, the year in question, the sums
lying in savings banks to the credit
OF Swiss subjects amounted to nearly
6t'50O,000 frances, as compared with
not quite 40,000,0v0 francs in 1897

When all trace of Livingston was lost

Congress Is far worse than the
American government In this re-
spect. Besides the reasons already
stated, there Is another which makes
American diplomacy what It il. This
il the general tendency OF Congress
to pander to the people, and to be
easily influenced by the opinions Of
the inexperienced public.
Congress shows most puerile traits
In the eyes Of outsiders. There are Of
course some men who combine great
experiences with great political capac-
ity, Mr.. Root being surely one of such.
but on the whole Congress seems to
consider It its duty and pride to act
in obedience to the voice of the world
outside.
ct is true that American citizens
wax earnest over the elections of gov
errors, presidents and Others, but
they strain so hard after ecOnOmic
laurels that they have little time to
study political questions. Most Of
them depend entirely upon journals
tic reports for their judgment Of po-
litical issues. with the consequence
that they are very short-sighed and
can hardly see things in light other
than of their immediate interests.
Immigrants to the states when natur-
allied possess votes. but most of them
are very clumsy in the employment
of the political power they are per-
mitted to WELD. The youthful aFdof
of the American spirit must be thank
ed fDr phenomenal achievements in
economic enterprise, but this tame
quality is responsible for the careless,
EunskiIled manner in which American
diplomacy and politics are treated. :
Mr., Shimada then proceeds, to re-
fer to the Panama tolls problem and
says that. here is another illustration
of the point at issue Although the
ultimate fate OF the bill il not yet
known, the writer makes no doubt

WITH THE TRADERS "
UP AT HUDSON BAY

u The Factor. enacts the prelude to
q dramatic play that proceeds almost
without words To each of the hunt
ers he hands plug of cheap, black
tobacco and a package Of sulphur
matchesaIl a gift from the great
trading company. Immediately pipes
are filled with the stick tobacco cut
from the plug. Nothing is said while
the pipe of welcome is smoked It is
q very serious matter, the smoking of
a pipeful of that tobacco. It requires
constant attention and the. entire
bundles of matches. Finally the
chief knocks his pipe free from ashes
and puts 1t carefully away. Then he
the bark-coyered bales, and spreads
upon the counter pile of raw furs-
his own personal hunt, made since
New-Year,s Day. The Factor begins
at the top Of the chiefs pile and first
counts two hundred and fifty musk
rats. He thrusts his hand in each
pelt, judges of the value, and gives
the amount to the bookkeeper, who
sits close by. Each pelt in the catch
IS examined carefully and passed to
the outpost Factor, who piles them
on the counter.
You watch the hunter and the com
panys agent. No word passes be-
tween them. The cunning chief
watches the Factor as lynx would
rabbit. His sharp. bead-like eyes
do not miss a movement. He fol-
lows every motion of the sensitive
fingers, trained after many years,
practice to perfect and fair Judgment
of a pelt. The hunter hears him say.
although he does not understand a
word, as he moves his hand over a
glossy pelt,
Zone fine otter, usual high price,
twenty-five. 4
Zone mink, three; one mink, five;
another fine otter, same high price.
And so he continues, until finally
you hear the chiefs spring catch
amounts to two hundred and fifty dol
lars. The Factor touches the Indian
on the shoulder and tells him it is a
fine hunt.
The chief then, as is befitting his
station, trades in the pelts Of all who
made the hunt with him. He places
on the counter a small pile OF skins,
his daughters hunt-thirty musKats
for which she receives a credit OF
about seven dollars. Then there fol-
lows and exceptionally good hunt of
and Indian who has been blacklisted
because, as the bookkeeper says, his
debt is of three years standing and
amounts to six hundred dollars. But
the magnificent lot of fur that is top
ped by fine silver fox, the prize

Indebtedness to only twelve dollars.
And in such a manner the hunt OF
the tribe is traded TO the great COM

But Eagle Likely Would Have Con-

From ShidZuoka comes graphic
account OF bloody combat between
an eagle and dog A few days ago,
at about s a. M, while one Ano was
engaged in farming at the foot of a
hill called Awagatabe in a suburb OF
Shidzuoka, he saw his favorite dog
SC; mper away in unusual excitement.
The farmer, struck with curiosity, fol-
lowed in the direction in which the
deg ran and was amazed to see the an
imal jumping about and barking fu.
riously in thicket near the bottom Of
a large pine tree.
On closer scrutiny he found the dog
-as waging savage battle with .
large eagle nearly FIVE feet in height
The bird would descend upon the dog
and attack 1t with It's powerful talons,
while the dog would spring away al
ertiy, trying to bite its enemy. The
exciting combat continued for some
time, but at last threatened to end in
the defeat of the dog.
The farmer fetched hatchet and
rushed to the succor of his pet, rain
ing upon the eagle repeated blows.
The dog, encouraged by this help, at
tackled its antagonist with redoubled
yigor and after a while the eagle fell
to the ground quite exhausted and
covered with blood Ano took the cap
tive home in triumph and has since
been keeping it in his house.
The eagle proved to be of enormous
size and is said to be attracting great
curiosity among the villagers. Japan

DEEP BREATHING BEFORE BED
English Physician Gives Some Simple
Rules That VIII Aid Seekers
After Health.

A correspondent of the Medical
Times sends an interesting note on
deep breathing The best time Che
says) seems to be Immediately before
retiring to bed, as, doing nothing more
before lying down, the habit contin-
ues and becomes fixed; the window, OF
course, should be open more or less.
After breathing in as much as pos
sible through the nose (out, anyhow,
either mouth or nose), the nose
should be held by the thumb and fore.
finger with a handkerchief for about
fifteen seconds to prevent the escape
of air, and thereby force the constitu-
ents Of the air over the system. This
should be repeated from four to eight
times at intervals of about half a min.
ute.
Tho particular proof Of this being
more effective than other methods
is seen in the following experience:
After following the above method !

day my pulse quickens the same

Lock. In Ancient Egypt.

The Egyptian lock. states the Iron
monger, was an assemblsge OF wooden
pins or bolts. 1t ii possible that this
suggested to Bramah his remarkable
invention. The Roman lock was prac-
tically a paddock and It seems prob
able that the key was of Green origin.
In Latin countries the locksmith never
confined himself to mere door furni.
ture. At the very beginning now.
adays in France--his art embraced all
the wrought ironwork which serves to
close and secure our dwellings, from
a monumental garden gate and rail-
ings to a simple latchkey. That art
reached It's apogee about the fifteenth
or sixteenth century, so far as the
former class Of work was concerned.
Some medieval specimens-the hinges
of the doors at Notre Dame, for in
stance-are so remarkable that en-
vious and humorous contemporaries
have not failed to hint that the smith
who executed them must have sold his
soul to the devil.
