FOREIGN BANK METHODS.
The Unde—eloped System In Use In
Continental Europe.
A bank check is looked upon with
suspicion in Italy. Practically no small
tradesman would take a check, and
none of them keeps a bank account. It
was still more surprising to me to find
that such a statement would he almost
literally true of Paris itself. I was
studying the mechanism of the Bank
of France under the guidance of one
of the officers. We went into one great
room in the old building in which there
were 200 desks inclosed in wire cages,
all empty at the moment. I asked what
these were for.
“These cages are for our city col
lectors,” I was told. “When a small
merchant borrows from the Bank of
France, he does not, as with you in
America, borrow a bank credit and
have his loan merely added to liis bal
ance on the hooks of the hank. With
us the merchant, when he makes a
loan, gets the actual money and takes
it away. lie probably has no bank ac
count with us. He writes no checks.
When the loan is due, he docs not, as
would be the case in your banks, come
in and pay his indebtedness with a
check; instead of that we send a col
lector to him, and that collector is re
paid the loan in actual currency. Two
hundred men start out from the Bank
of France every morning to collect ma
tured loans. Several days each month
it is necessary to send out 400 men,
and on the 1st and the 15tli of each
month GOO collectors go out.”
These collectors were uniformed
meb, carrying leather pouches, in
which they have the matured notes
and which are later filled with curren
cy as the collections are made from the
bank’s borrowers.
I stood at the paying teller’s desk as
I went farther along in my tour of the
Bank of France. As I halted there the
man who happened to be at the win
dow at the moment presented a chock
for 50,000 francs. The money 1
counted out and handed over to him
stored away in a big wallet, and he
passed on. I asked if it wore not un
usual for a man to draw out so much
currency and was told that it was not
It was but another illustration of bow.

continental Europe in its uses by the
general public.—Scribner’s Magaziue.
DISINFECTING A SHIP.
Moist Heat, a ThoroagU Germicidal
Agent, Is Used.
When the vessel lias tied up to the
wharf in New Orleans, the first step is
the removal of the bedding, clothing
and cushions and other cloth fabrics to
the quarantine shed. Here they are
hung on a framework consisting of a
series of racks suspended from a long
car running on a track and so arranged
that when the racks are filled tin*
whole thing may be run inside one of
the three great disinfecting cylinders
with which the station is equipped.
These cylinders are enormous steel
boilers fifty feet in length by eight foot
in diameter and tilted inside with con
tinuous coils of steam pipe. The cylin
ders are covered with asbestus and
swathed in felt, and when the cylinder
caps are cn they are airtight. When
the clothing has been placed inside and
the cylinders closed, dry heat is forced
through the pipes at a temperature of
ISO degrees, and this is followed by
moist beat raised, to a temperature cf
230 degrees. The pressure of from six
to eight pounds put upon this steam
beat is sufficient to force it through
heavy mattresses or bundles of cloth
ing.
After a period which varies from
thirty minutes to an hour the cylinders
are opened, the racks are run out, and
the rapid evaporation which follows
causes the clothing to dry almost im
mediately. The clothing is unharmed
by this process, and the moist heat is a
thorough germicidal agent. It is an in
teresting fact that if a freshly launder
ed linen shirt or collar is put into the
cylinder it will emerge thoroughly
moist and apparently in need of anoth
er starching. The evaporation is so rap
id, however* that it is immediately re
stored to its original condition, not
even the gloss being removed.—Leslie’s

In India the tea plant is naturally

so small that it seems to be only
bush.
For setting in a dry soil the plant
should be well rooted and stocky, as it
must depend on the roots it already
has to make a start.
Vines of all kinds flower and fruit

Brain Weights.
The average weight of a Scotchman's
brain is sixty ounces, an Englishman's
forty-nine, a Frenchman’s a little over
forty-five. The weight of Dutch, Frisi
an, Italian and Lapp brains come near
that of the Englishman, while the Ger
man brain is In many instances heav
ier. The Polish brain is forty-seven
ounces. Among Hindoo and other races
in India it is from forty-one to forty-
four ounces, but Mussulmans average
more and the Khonds, one of the abo
riginal races of India, much less—not
quite thirty-eight ounces. Traveling
toward China, the brain weight of the
tribes there settled increases. In Afri
ca the average weight is from forty-
three to forty-eight ounces; in America
that of the Indian averages forty-seven
ounces; in Australia from forty to for
ty-two ounces.

Origin of Word Grinjre.
The word “gringo,” which Mexicans
apply to Americans when speaking of
them with contempt, is said to have
had its origin thus: During the Mexi
can war our soldiers got Into the hab
it of calling the simple Mexican sol
diers whom they took prisoners “green-
ies,” to signify their ignorance of
things in general and of military tac
tics especially. The Mexicans retaliat
ed by calling the Americans "greenos,”
and this word finally degenerated into
# ‘gringos.”

Lantern Illumination .Mnkes the City
Akin to Fairyland.
A row of paper lanterns in the black
shadow of a wall i3 the first impres
sion the newly arrived traveler has of
Yokohama as he steps from liis “sam
pan” on to the wharf at night.
The lanterns hang low and almost
motionless, but at the word “rickshaw”
they begin to sway, and with a silent,
almost rhythmical movement they
come rushing toward him. A moment
later he discovers that each lantern is
attached to a rickshaw, which offers
for less than half a yen an hour to con
voy him anywhere his fancy may lead
him. But go where he will the lantern
is always there, dangling and swaying
and dimly flashing.
The lantern on the rickshaw is a
characteristic detail of the night pic
ture of Yokohama. It is a series of
brilliant dashes of color under a cloud
less, starlit sky, fanned by a sof;
breeze which seems half of the sea and
half of the tropics, with smiling, doll-
like people gliding about everywhere.
It hardly seems real. It isn't fairyland
exactly, because fairies are not sup
posed to be always as picturesque as
are these Japanese. Certain it is that
few things anywhere in the round
world can be more beautiful than lan
tern lighted Yokohama.
As the occidental crosses the bridge
over the canal from the foreign quar
ter and enters the native city he sees
a bewildering maze of lights. Through
cut Yokohama gas lamp posts are few
and far between, a fact which makes
the lantern illumination all the more
conspicuous. They are not hung at re,
ular heights or intervals, but make
sort of tangle of soft colored lights
over the front of the buildings and
even across the street.—New York Mai!

Mazzini says, “Labor is the divine
law of our existence.” This i.-i little
mere than commonplace, i at when be
added, “Repose is desertion and sui
cide.” the couninonpinee wars Transfig
ured into a memorable Illustration.
A French writer said. “The ready ef
ficient laborer will bo found not io
crowd bis day with work.” That seems
to be forgettable. When be adds, "He
will saunter to bis task surrounded by
a wide kaio of ease and leisure,” the
halo serves the purpose of an explana
tory illustration.
President Garfield once said. “Nine
times cut of ten the best thing that eon
happen to a young man is to be tossed
overboard and compelled to sink or
swim fur himself.'' The tossing over
board was the illustration. The saga
cious president gave it significance and
emphasis by personal reference, “In all
my acquaintance I never knew a man
to be drowned who was worth the sew
ing.”
When La rater said, “Habit is alto
gether too arbitrary a master for me to
submit to,” it was the word “master”
that constituted the memorable illus
tration.
Carlyle, a great master of metaphor,
said truly:-“No man lives without jos
tling and being jostled. In all ways he
has to elbow himself through the
world, giving and receiving offense.”
The doctrine of this sentence might
easily have become a mere platitude,
but it is fixed upon the memory by jos
tling and being jostled and the elbow
ing of oneself through the world. This
illustration is the very making of the
argument.—Joseph Parker, D. D., in
Homiletic Review.

Iridium, worth more than $780 a
pound, is the hardest metal known and
is used to tip gold pens.
Lithium, worth more than $1,100 a
pound, is used only in medicine, its
salts being valuable in rheumatic af
fections.
Tungsten, worth 30 cents a pound, is
largely used in matallurgy and gives
to steel qualities similar to those im
parted by molybdenum.
Molybdenum, worth $1.44 a pound, is
used in metallurgy. Molybdenum steel
possesses the rare quality of preserv
ing its hardness even when heated to
redness.
Selenium, which has the curious prop
erty of losing its resistance to the elec
tric current under Ihe influence of
light, is used in the toielectroscope and
is worth $22 a pound.
Uranium, worth $SG a pound, is used
the glass and porcelain industries.
It has been found that uranium car
bide is superior to nickel or tungsten
in the manufacture of high grade steel.
Palladium, which lias the smallest
coefficient of dilatation. Is used for the
mounting of astronomical instruments.
The standard meter of France is made
of palladium. The pure metal costs j

Vanadium oxidizes in air with great ■
difficulty, melts at 2,000 degrees aud
becomes reclhot in hydrogen. Neither

Italy’s S'arringre Brokers.
Marriage brokers are a regular insti
tution in Italy. In Genoa there are sev
eral marriage brokers who have pock-
etbooks filled with the names of the
marriageable girls of the different
classes, with notes of their figures, per
sonal attractions, fortune and other cir
cumstances. These brokers go about
endeavoring to arrange matrimonial al
liances in the same offhand mercantile
manner which they would bring to
bear upon a purely business transac
tion, and when they succeed they get a
commission of 2 or 3 per cent upon the
dowry, with such extras of bonuses as
may be voluntarily bestowed by the
party.
