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. undeveloped is the banking system of 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 Monthly. YOKOHAMA BY NIGHT. FORCEFUL EXPRESSIONS.

When moss is seen on fruit trees, it may be taken as evidence of lack of thrift in the trees. The idea! soil in which to set a plant is one that is moist, without being wa ter soaked, neither too dry nor too wet. Dust is* a great euemy of window plants in connection with dry heat. Care must be taken to keep the air moist. In India the tea plant is naturally tree, but by means of pruning it is kept 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 freely only after they have reached tin- top of their support. When they have “arrived,” they set about blooming. Teonies should be planted in October. Once planted they should not be di turbed, but should be allowed to form strong clumps. Thus treated the flow ers increase in size aud beauty with each succeeding season.

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. AUGUSTA, GA. 000000000000000000090000 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.” —The Citizen $1.00 a year cash. Liberal clubbing rates. See an nouncement. 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! and Express. Power ox III eitiT.dcn Tarn of n UIir:_-c. James I Pause 11 Law.

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 $4.82 a pound. Vanadium oxidizes in air with great ■ difficulty, melts at 2,000 degrees aud becomes reclhot in hydrogen. Neither hydrochloric acid nor nitric acid at tacks it. It costs $502 a pound and is used in coloring glass and in making indelible inks. ANNOUNCEMENT. W<* have reduced Ihe sub scription price of The Tuck Citizen to $1 00 a year from August 10th, 1901.

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.
