Saving by Slot Machine.

Budapest is the first city in the world to set up slot machine savings banks. The machines are arranged for the receipt of two coins, the crown, worth about twenty cents, and the 20. filler piece, worth four cents. They return ticket for each coin deposited and these tickets bear interest from the date of their issuance. The rate paid varies with the current bank rate and ranges from three to four per cent; 110 tickets may be exchanged for a bank book
 The first slot machine savings bank was placed in front of branch of the bank in the immediate vicinity of the central railway station, and the re- ceipts of this machine have always been larger than those in other locali- ties. At present there are II machines ln operation in Budapest.

NEEDS COURAGE AND SPIRIT
Passive Obedience Has Never Made for Man or Woman a Place in
 Pages of History.

We moderns are popularly supposed to have been the first to profess ad- miration for the strong-minded wom- an. whom we proudly or derisively call the new woman. Yet if we study history, and not merely hear say we find that the heroines of the world were by no means gentle, sub. missive creatures.
 Electra, whom the ancients exalted far above her milder sister. Chryso- themis, would certainly have been a Fuffragette, had she lived in this cen tury.
 Cleopatra, Hypatia, Joan of Arc, however diverse otherwise, were at least alike in rebelling against au- thority and following their own way.
 Rowena would have seemed more attractive had she eloped with Ivan hoe, and we all prefer the nobler Re becca, who nearly died a martyr be- cause she was among the first lady doctors,
 From time immemorial courage and spirit have been extolled, and justly so, too. People who feel deeply can- lot always be passive Thay wish to control destiny, not to be controlled by it, and sometimes they actually succeed in their desire, through their very refusal to accept the inevitable.
 Obedience is apt to be often over rated virtue which may be the result of Indifference or laziness, a mere craving for peace at any price, in. stead of genuine and unselfish hu. mility.

SALT TO RELIEVE CATARRH
Remedy That Is Easily Within the Reach of All Is Said to Be
 EHicacious.

Dozens of remedies are said to be cures for catarrh, and many do excel lent work In that disease. but every household contains the best known remedy, and it is actually so simple that most persons disregard its mer. it's.
 Dissolve pinch of ordinary table salt in one-fourth of pint of warm water, and pour a little in the palm of the hand and place the nostrils in it and snuff it up the nose, taking care that some reaches the tissues of the tubes reaching to the mouth
 Repeat several times, and then wait for ten or twelve hours and repeat the treatment. Keep this up for a week or two. and catarrh will disap. pear
 Strong salt water will cause pain fn the head, but weak, warm water is perfectly harmless and will cleanse the tissues r re effectually than any other remedy.
 This treatment Is great breath purifier and will clear up the throat
 little stronger salt water used as gargle will relieve sore throat and aid in preventing diphtheria.

Air Brakes for Aeropianes.

A highly ingenious device is about to be embodied in new British aero plane now nearing completion. A diff ficult problem, which has always con- fronted the aeroplane designers, has been that of enabling machines to land at reasonably slow speed and yet fly as fast as possible. The neces- sity of this provision may be gauged from the fact that the modern aero plane, with its full load, weighs the better part of ton, and that the usual flying speeds range from sixty to eighty miles an hour Accordingly, MT. A. V. Roe, the well-known de- signer, has adopted the expedient of providing his latest biplane with what he termed lair brakes" These con- sist of flaps hinged to the rear of the planes, capable of being turned at right angles to the direction of flight. with the object of enabling the pilot to reduce his speed materially pre- paratory to alighting.

the Vichy Hospital, where the most i'm

arm and one wrist were all the serious

This very small proportion OF am

English Effort to Capture German Trade

Correspondence Of Associated Press.J
LONDON. October 17.-Commercial
leagues and associations throughout
England are making much ado about
capturing German trade. Manufacture
crs declare that the banking situation
Is so unfavorable that English firms
cannot be expected to attempt an ag-
eressive export business.
At n recent meeting called 10 dis
cuss extension OF foreign trade, one
manufacturer produced letters from his
banker which are said to be typical OF
the position of London banking houses
The manufacturer had asked for cash
advance on a shipment to n foreign
customer with whom the manufacturer
had dealt for years. The bill of eX
change, the goods and the good name of
the manufactures were all offered as
security. yet the banker replied that
his institution did not care for that
sort of business.
If British manufacturers cannot dis
count their bills they say a curtail-
ment rather than n expansion of for
eign business will be imperative, and
the London Board of Trade has been
so advised by scores of manufacturers.
Still the manufacturers have not been
discouraged by tho unfavorable finan-
cial conditions and are endeavoring 10
duplicate articles which have hitherto
been supplied by the Germans and Aus
TRANS.
At present a glass and pottery eXhi-
hition Is in progress under auspices or
the commercial intelligence branch of
the hoard OF trade. Samples Of all sorts
of pottery and glassware. formerly
sent to England from the two countries
row at war with Great Britain, are on
exhibition. This exhibition is primarily
for the benefit Of English manufacturers
who are supplied with full information

English subjects.
