INVESTING MONEY.
What One Bank Has to Say About Real
Estate Mortgages.

The president of one Of the numerous
savings banks of New York city re-
Gently had occasion to resort to statis-
tics to prove his contention that real
estate mortgage investments made
with intelligence, knowledge of condi-
tons and conservatism were the safest
form of investment. His request of
clerks for figures brought forth the
fact that in the last thirty years his
bank had lent upon real estate secu-
rity the enormous sum Of 500, coo, 600
and that a loss of but $50, 900 In round
figures was incurred In this manipula-
ton during all these years.
Thus the bank has invested of depos-
itory funds at the rate of 100000
annually, receiving an average Of 5 per
cent, or $150,0O0, in interest and pay
ing its depositors an average of 4 per
cent, or $4,000, leaving a balance for
the bank of $4,000 annually. Against
shis surplus there lis the comparatively
Insignificant charge Of $500 a year
loss during a period Of thirty years.
This record, significant of the not
only safe but profitable business in
mortgages, is that of one of the small
er banks In the savings group Of New
York city.--New York Post.

FAMOUS PAINTINGS.
There Are Three Undisputed MantsS.
mas In This Country.

mas In This Country.
Andrea Mantegna, the brilliant mas
ter of the Paduan school Q431-15O0
was distinguished amoAg the Italian
masters of the renaissance by a plas-
tic style which made his figures on
canvas not so much an expression of
paint as of carved marble or nodded
bronze.
OF all the painters Of his time he
was generally regarded by critics as
being most sensitive to the beauty Of
rounded form as distinct from outline.
Mantegna died In Mantua In poverty,
due not to lack of appreciation. but to
his own extravaganza.
The works painted by Mantegna,
apart from his frcscoes and the tenn
pera pictures of the Triumph Of Gaze
sar," now hanging in Hampton court,
are not numerous. Authorities seem to
agree that not more than thirty-fiye
of the so called Mantegnas now ex-
tant are to be accepted as authentic.
In America there are only three I'M
disputed Mantegnas. One is the "Ad-
grafton of the Magi,' belonging to the
John S. Johnson collection in Philadel-
phia; another is the Madonna and
Child of the Altman collection In the
third is the Madonna and Child" OF
Mrs. Jack Gardner's collection in Bos-
ton.--New York Times.

THE BANK OF ENGLAND.
II 10 a Private Company, but Acts ~
the Nations Banker.


The Bank OF England Is not, as most
people think, a government institution.
1t is a private company, but reaps a
good profit by acting as the nations
banker The remuneration paid TO the
Bank of England for the management
of the national debt was fixed In 1906
as a yearly sum Of the rate Of f325 per
million pounds and at the rate Of f100
for every million pounds above this
amount
Before any of the government money
that goes into the Bank of England
can be spent a certain procedure has to
be followed. First Of all an order sign
ed by the king and countersigned by
two lords OF the treasury has TO be for
warded TO the comptroller and auditor
general of the exchequer and audit de-
partment- Then the comptroller hands
an order TO the treasury authorizing
the Bank of England to debit the ex-
chequer account and credit the account
of the paymaster general, who makes
all payments on behalf of the various
departments.
Afterward the comptroller scrutinizes
all the accounts paid TO see that the
money has been spent In accordance
with the wishes of parliament--west,
