At any rate, fishermen often wrap their hooks with the pliant inner bark of the *»« aafra* for the purpoae of lusuriug good luck. Some statistical fiend, who has been pouring over the return* of the Inst ceuati*, gives the following rather startling figure* to prove that the Americau people are rapidly becom¬ ing a homeless rare. More than half the people of tue country live in rented house*, and nearly half those who live in their own houses have not paid for them. These are the figure*; Number of families, 12,(190,152 ; num¬ ber of tenants, $,620,735, or fifty-two per cent, of the whole number; num¬ ber of families whose place* of abode are in«uinhered by mortgage*, l.tl'Jd,. xfiO, or fourteeu per cent. ; number of families whose home* are free from debt, 4,3119,527, or thirty-four per cent of the total number.

What wonder, therefore, Unit the masses of the people are eon tinuaily secreting their money and withholding it fr-ni circulation, mak lug scarcity and the eonditions which enable the money lenders to get an exorbitant interest on their loans? It is seen from examination of the situation that under present condi¬ tions of banking no means exist whereby money can cut be made iwruianeiitly abundant There may be times when confidence is so restored, temporarily, that business men will freely place their money in the luniks, but let there he a few hunk failures ami money goes out of sight as quickly as a crowd will dispone on the arrival of a person afflicted « 1th a contagion- disease.
