Of the Cypriot to load his mule with
all the paraphernalja that can possi-
bly, be- Induced to hold together, and
then TO seat himself on top and guide
the animal by hitting it ON the head
with asstout walking stick or point
ed prod.
The chief disadvantage In riding
mules is that the stirrups are not fixed
and sudden pressure on the right
foot will send the left knee up to the
riders chin. depositing him suddenly
on the ground. Some Cyprus mules
have also habit of planting both feet
on the extreme edge of a precipice
and stretching out their necks to look
at the scene below. All things being
considered. the nervous tourist would
feel happier upon the mountain pom
les. which are strong and surefooted.

the means of transit are varied to suit

the palms of the hands and of pepper

because the physical anguish entailed
is acknowledged to be less intense
than that caused by esere."
One Of the most interesting discov-
cries was that of the Lake of the
Dead in the Oban country.

IT'S PHENOMENAL GROWTH.

The Hyde Park Savings Bank
offers to depositors that first and
most important of all essentials,
absolute safety.
That this fact is fully understood
by an appreciatiye public is shown
by its phenomenal and almost
unprecedented growth.
The following table shows exactly
the amount OF that growth:

Note thpt in the five years from
July I, 1907, to July 1, 1912, the
gain in deposits was $I,38i, ,4I6 o3.
This means that the net deposits
have exceeded the withdrawals hy
5000 per day for every day except
Sundays and legal holidays during
the past FIVE years.
The depositing public evidently
have great faith in the integrity,
conservatism and business sagacity
