SAVINGS BANK WARNED They Mut Transact Busines9 Ac cording to Law or Suffer the Consequences. At a meeting of the banking board yesterday morning, upon the recommendation of Hank Kxaminer McCrew, the following was atlopted ami will be sent as a circular to each bank in the slate. Sir: It has come to the knowledge hN department that several '. i within the state who claim to tiing a savings bank business ,i . iolating Die provisions of the . . '.iii act relating to such banks lj usin.'i and delivering to their de positor a form of blank receipt or check sometimes slightly different in form from those used by com mercial banks, but which in fact are treated as ordinary bank checks, be ing paid through other banks and returned lo'the bank where the de posite is kept lor collection. In some instances the managers of these banks are claiming to evade tlie provision of the law regulating the payment of deposhs by such banks by at all times keeping' the depositors pass book in the banks, which is plainly in violation of the spirit of the law and cannot be. per mit ted, Sonic such banks al.-o make a habit of receiving' on deposit checks, drafts, bills of exchange and other commercial paper, and selling or furnishing without cost, exchange drawn on foreign cities, all of which is plainly in violation of the law regulating the operation of savings banks. In order that a bank may legally transact a general commercial banking business, it is necessary, among other things, that such bank shall be possessed of a certain amount ot capital (specified in see. tion 1 of the banking act) and that it shall at all times keep on hand a certain amount of available funds as a reserve, which shall be 20 per centum of the deposits in all cities of 2.-,mx or over, or la per centum in all other cities. It is decm-il expedient by the banking board ami has been so, ord ered that any bank claiming to do a sa vings'bank business which shall violate the law in the manner above indicated, and which shall not have the requisite amount of capital t transact a general banking business in the city or town where such bank -hall be located, anil w 'ii"'h shall not at all times keep on hand the amount of available funds as a re f.erve which i- reipiiitd of a bank tloingagener.il banking business. sIk'II be deemed as doing an unsafe and an aiithori.eil business jeopar dizing the interests id' tlie deposi tors, and that it is unsafe and inex pedient to allow such bank or banks to contiuueto transact business and the proper steps will now be taken to wind up the affairs of such bank as provided in section 11 of the banking act. This order will be enforced and the hearty co-operation is asked of all savings bank managers who are complying with the law and thus prevent tlie dinstrous consequences which must follow the violating of the wise provisions of the banking law relating to this class of banks.

We we tti ciumped iU the Hot Spriiifr on thi Lo Ia) trail, minis famous in la dian annals by thet'seape of Chief Ja ffna and his band of Niz i'erces. Just aImivc us was a largo camp of Klatlit a.V" who were making tlu ir fall hunt. Ons morning we were uwuki-nwl by shouts and cries. Evidently there was treat excitement pome where, aint we prompt ly jumped up. It was just after tlavli-ht mid eolil cluiiils uf steam were rising from the bijj Iiumu shiqH'il pool at the fiot of the granite wall, from which poured a thick ut renin of boiling w ater. The pool was so large that at the lower edge the water was almost cold. The nearer you approached to the place where the water burst from ths rock tha better chance you stood of getting Kiiled. At the edge, ut a point where the water was of a coiiifortalilo temperature, tttoml two Imlians, one on the lmnk and the other on a stone in the water. Near Ft were a dozen other Indians guarding niumVr of little. Indian Iniys and girls w ho had nothing on and were howling nml crying. When we looked out of the tent the two Indians at the pool had an Indian bev, 'ne holding him by the feet the other by the hands, and were gravely itwinging him backward and forward through the warm water, while he yelled nt every dip. As soon as they had fin ished with him he v ,'issettipon the bank, and ran to the willow brush nmr by. Then tho uoiso redoubled, for each child in the group guarded by the lit dians feared that it was his turn. They all tri.il to escape to tho brush, but their elders pursuml and caught them, nntL tho very last one had been put through the cleuusing process. New York Suu, Tllg FMd Cnn ami Their Enri. If you insist on high velocity you hura to add ho much additional machinery tn your gun carriage: ami have to so greatly strengthen its construction that you destroy its mobility, while even if you gain a lung range you are still unable t make use of your most eilicient projec tilo at it. Moreover, nine the remain ing velocity of its shrapnel ia a trner measure of tho value of a gun than iU initial velocity, and the two re by no means directly proportional, it does not follow that we benefit an much us we might expect by Bulmiitting to these disadvantages. Thus, tho 12-ounder has an initial velocity of over 1,700 feet jier second aud a remaining velocity at 8,000 yards of 863 feet; whilo the la-pounder, with an initial velocity of only 1,500 feet, has at the sumo ritiii'n h remaining velocity greater by nix feet per second man tiiat or its rival. One of our highest authorities nn f...l,l artillery has, indeed, recorded his opin ion, that, as regards the ellicieiicy of shrapnel, we gain nothing by tlni in creased muzzle velocity of "the kvst field gun in Europe" nt ull practical ranges. Moreover, it is the atteinnt, tn Hfl!ll'fl out the last few extra feet that does all tho harm. Loudon Saturday Review. Mtxlt rn IMiirutluii.

TlIK democrats who assembled at the recent meeting in the Cooper I'nion were brought together to protect the common right of demo cratic citizens by insisting t ! i .t t forms .--hoiihl not be used to strangle substance. In the lan guage of the notice, "a convention selected in midwinter, upon so short a call, cannot be fairly nml truly representative of the demo cratie sentiment of the state, and would inevitably debar the mass of the democratic voters of the stateof New York from the voice which they are justly entitled to in the selection of the democratic can tiidales and the framing of the party's platform. To say that these democrats - many of them long eminent in the party councils for devotion ami faithful servicewere disaffected or disloy. al or "mugwumps" is wholly beside the question. They stated their grievance and based their reluct ance to arbitrary dictation upon the statement above quoted. If the fact was as slated by them, who could deny the justice of their re monstrance? If it were otherwise and the hasteningof theennvc ntiou at so unusual a season was not in tended to effect an ulterior and iiu avowed purpose, then it wns incum bent on the movers tn justify their action otherwise than by frivolous pretences or angry denunciation. Just remonstrances deserve some thing more than ebullitions of temper in reply. Slrise, if you please, but answer if you can other wise than by blows.

When it is proved that wages are so much higher in this country than in I'm rope, the free trailers reply Ibat the cost of living is higher in proportion, and therefore the sav ings are no greater. But the evidence ml the case is perfectly clear: 1M, that the cost of living is not materially higher; 'Jnd, O'.it the savings are very much greater. bull details as to cost of living in Luropi- will be loiind in the ollkial report from American consuls to the state department at Washing, ton. We give only the i oni lusions ol the report. Food: "It appears lioin the re port hereto nmieu'd that the Ameri can workman consumes more ami better -food than the mechanic or laborer abroad, ami that the cost of this food is as small in the Cnitetl States as in Kurope." Clothing: "In general, clothing can be purchased cheaper in Ku rope than in the I'niteil Stales; especially jlothing of the higher grades. The same influence which prompts the higher paid working man in the Pnited States to pur chase bet ter and more varied food than his Kuropean comrade, ex tends also to his clothing, for he buys more and belter garments." Consul Shaw, of Manchester, Kng land, says: "I believe clothing sim ilar to that which the Kngiish op eratives wear can be purchased in tin- I nitetl States at about the same 1 pnee." i "I louse rent in Kiiropc is nppar-j eiitly lower than here, but the Labi- j t.ition- are usually mterioi to tho-e I ol the I'nited States." I More exact and comprehensive m i vest igations were made on the sub ject by Carroll I). Wright, chief of the labor bureau of Massachusetts, in 1Sh:J. At that time he louud that the average cost of living of work ing men in Massaehusettn. includ ing rent, was 17 per cent, higher than living on the same scale would cost in ICngland. Kxcliiding rent, the cost in Massachusetts was found to be only five per cent, higher than in Kuglanil. While there is this slight ililfer ence in the cost of living, our labor ers with their high wages can live far better, and save besides sihnost us much as the foreign workman earns. 83,600 IN REWARDS Tfc Caaadla, Agrioultor'tU ra Winter Mtot-ary Competition The tilth half yearly Literary com petition for the winter of isr of The Canadian Agricul turist.
