At Old Monldand a man who had on a rather gaudy vest stood up more than once, and threw back coat, apparently to let his vest be seen.

A novel system ef money lending is being practiced in many largo down town 'business houses, and, thougb done on "mutual benefit" plan, tht interest levied would put the ordinary pawnbroker to the blush. Tho em ployes" of a large establishment, cm ploying perhaps twenty-rive or fifty clerks, form a "mutual benefit asso ciation." For two months each employe pays to the treasurer 1 cent a tlay, and this forms tho lending fund on which tho wlulo system is founded. In tho larger houses, where tire salaries are paid monthly, the clerks often find themselves in the middle of the month without the necessary funds to carrv them through. Then they borrow 'from the treasurer, say 5, and until the loan is paid they are expected to hand to the treasurerl cent for every dollar borrowed, and at the same time lt f;iVO lJ mo ireusuivi ." vi -- v.. . - - cashier for the amount of money 1 y have borrowed. Tho clerk who borrows the mono : does not, of course, fecl t!;0 payment of the small amount of interest vl ': is collected daily, anel even 'when i o returns the loan at tho end of tho month he does not realize tin it he has paid interest at tho rate of 305 per cent. Of course each month the amount of money in the hands of the treasurer increases until, at the end of the year, he has much more than enough to cover the demands of tho cler'is for loans. Then ho sets aside a certain amount as a fund, anel the balance he divides into equal parts, to be paid to the clerks as dividends. This is done once a year. The result is obvious. The clerk who is saving and apportions his salary to his necessities has no need of becoming a borrower; that is, in the year he only pays to the association his duesamounting to $3.05, or 1 cent a clay, and yet he draws as a dividend his share of the exorbitant interest that his impecunious fellow clerks hove paid monthly. New York Her aia ri I low Gladstone Heads. '.lr. Gladstone usually has three books in reading at the same time, and changes from one to the other when his nTind has reached the limit of ab sorption. This is a necessary correct ive to the tendency to think only of one thing at one time, which some times in politics leads him to neglect that all round survey of the situation which is indispensable to a prime min ister.
