SAVING UP SMALL SUMS, The Practice in Its Infancy in the West as Oompared with the East, Ohicago News. “The practice of raving up small sums for a rainy day 1s yot In Its infancy In the west,” said W, Kelsey Reed, treasurer of the Dime savings bank, to a Dally Nowa reporter, who had asked for Infor- mation regsrding the subjest. *‘Com pared with the poorer classes of the east- ern states,” contlnued the treasurer, “'tho working people of the west reslly donot save at all. By ‘working people,’ 1 do not refer to the Iaborer and artlsan particularly, but to that vast army of people In all classes of life who depend on their daily labor for a llving—the mechanio, the bookkeeper, teacher, clerk, and small store-keeper; the seamstreas, shop-girl, and washorwomen, whose earnings are from $3 to $12 a week. They do not tave, and yet this ls one of the great manufacturiog centers | There are now only two savings Institutions ia Chicago, strictly speaking; the Dime and the Home; all tfie others have failed slnce the fire of 1871, and thelr history is too fresh in the memory of the people for me to partica- larize. These repeated failures have caused the people to become shy about depositing thelr dlmes in savings banks; and no wonder. All were mere stock banks, run for profit, and no security was glven to depositors that their money was aafe. The managers of the banks took the money In charge for the pur- pose of making money themselyes. They offered a certaln amount of interest, often mauch higher thanjcould be afforded, and when they failed, the poor lost every- thing. My experience teaches me that a high rate of Interest is not wanted by the poor who intrust their hard earnlvgs to the keeklog of a bauk. They want only the assurance that it ls safe— that they can get it when neeled—that is all; and this guaranty of safety they oan not get under the system governing stock banks. The law regulating the savings banks In New York state has proved so successful that there is abso- lute confidence reposed In them by the poor, and the deposits reach into the hundred millions, where in 1llinofs, having no law, they barely touch a mil- llon. ~The total number of pass books {ssued in this baok since its organization In 1869 is 19,496,snd now we have about three thousand regalsr depositors, who have not more than $100,000 to thelr credlt. Only one of these has as much as $3,000 in bank, the remaining 2,999 have sums ranging from $500 down to 30, and the vast msjority show the latter sum as the total of their savings. Quoting from the last report of the state superiniendent of the New York Savings banks, we get the astounding figures of $36 000,000 on deposit in the New York Savings bank and $49,000,000 in the Bowery Savings bank. The latter shows that 300 depositors have $3000 to their oredit, the limit allowed by the state law than any one bank can take from a slogle Individual, There fs not a dollar of capltal stock In these banks; they are under the esupervision of a board of trustees, who are bound by law to serve without pay, and they In turn must make a certified report to the state superintendent once a year. The trustees can only invest the money In thelr care In a certaln pre- scribed way, viz: In stocks or bonds of the United States; In stocks or bonds of the home state; in bonds of any other state that has not been defaulted in the payment of interest within ten years; In clty, county and town bonds, and in first mortgages on approved real estate. All the expenses of cffice bullding, clerk hire, and salaries of the officers of the bank are pald eut of the accrued Interest, and the balance is applied on the deposits pro rats, in the nsture of a dlvidend. The system s known a3 the ‘mutual,” the only method calculated to attract the earnings of the poorer and Industrial classes.” Farther inquiry regarding the extra- ordinary success attained by eaving in- stitutlons in the east developed the fact that In 1883 there was deposited to the credit of worklpg pzople in 127 savings banks In New York state the magnificent sum of $412,147,313; in Massachusetts, in 166 banks, $241,686,773, agalnst §1,- 192,293 in Illinols, Mr. Reed was of the opinfon that it was not apathy, but distrust, that caused such a vast discrep- ancy, and wera the people assared of some degree of safety in the investment of their money, as well as faith in the integrity of the management, the total deposits would raptdly increate to a respectable figure. The faflure of sav- ings banks when operating under the general banking laws of this state has not paseed unnoticed, and & bill based on the New York mutual system is now pending in the state legislature, and i | confidently expocted to pass when it comes up. It has the endorsement of the presidents of the leading national and state banks In Chicago, and many prominent merchants, including Mar- shall Field, J. W, Doane, and N. K, Fairbavk, 1t is the sim of the Dime savings bank to conform as far as possible to the plan of the mutual system, and 1t does not therefore enter much into a general bank- og business, perferring moderate returns to taking risks that would jeopardize the interests of depositors, 1Its alm is to fos- ter the principle of thrift and economy among the hard-working poor, guaran- teeing a safe rate of Interest, and point- ing out, when requested, how to make good investments for accumulated sav- ings. Some interesting storles are told of the methods adopted to prevent eome of the young depositors from squandering thelr money. A lad of 12 years once started an account with the avowed Intention of eaving up $8 only, which he proposed to invest in skates. Thls was before the ad- vent of roller-skating rinks, and his am- bitlon was to own a pair of the best Ice skates. The needed sum was not aocu mul; until the middle of summer, and when he came to draw the money the cashler suggested that skates In August were not of much utllity sud It would be advisable for the young capltalist to go on eaviog and get enough for a silver watch, potting she amount necessary for this at 816, The idea met with appro- val, and the money was lef¢ in the bank. Wher the watch period of wealth had ar- rived a pony was suggested as a possibili- ty of continued eaving, and so by de- grees the Idea of higher attalnments were advanced, until the amount of $200 w. reached, when a Ict was purchased, and the boy of eevent. now owns his own house and s In¢ leut, An irstance 1s given of & tra .| up $50 and then araw it out and have Jjolly time of mirth and sight seeing, fre- quently gambling the money awsy in oue night, He was urged to let the money remaln, but refused until the cashier de- clined to open an account with bim, He went l'l{ vexed, but returned soon and agreed to let his saviogs remain untouched fora year if ho could have an ascount.

L — MASTHEADED BY A FISH, The Funny Adventure of a Fright: ened Fisherman off a Florida Reef, “‘[ere's an old acquaintance,” said my frlend, as we stood looking at the fish dleplay of Commlssioner Blackford, pointing out a partl-colored eel-like fish several feet long and of most villainous aspect. In form It resembled the typical sen serpent that figures in the old works of Pontoppldan and others. The body was high, the mouth large, and 1n it ap- peared a most formidable array of teeth. “That is the famous, or rather Infa. mous, murray of the eouth,” explained my companton, giving the creature a spiteful dig. “It's as much of a sea serpent as 1 ever want to nee, and 1 must tell you a good joke on myself in which one of these brates played a_prominent part. Some years ago, when I began spending my winters {n Florida, I devoted almoet my entire time to fishing—sea fishing, you know-—and almost the firat fish that cavght me was one of these murrays, This 18 a medium-sized one. They at- tain in the Bahamas avd around Caba a length of four or five feet, and, beilng proportionately stout, present a formid- able appearance. One dsy I was fishing off the reef, in about five fathoms, and had been having fine lack with grants and yellow-tails, when suddenly I had a bite that brought me to my feet. I bauled the fish, and the fish hauled me, and after ten minutes hard work I had him at the surface, and, with a tremen- dous jerk, lJanded, not a fish, but one of these murrays—a rouser. I was amazed as much as the murray. **No sooner did it feel itself inthe boat than it opened its cavernous mouthjjand made a rush for me. There were but two methods of escape open to me, one to jump overboard and the other to climb the small mast of my boat. I chose the latter, and as she murray reached the spot I just cleared it, and there I was in the attitude generally known as shinning. The murray made the clrcuit of the boot several times, dragging the line, thrashing the oars about, und darting its ugly head in my direction at every move I made. It was impossible, however, to hold such a posi- tlon long, and 1 was about considering the possibilitirs of leaping into the water and swimming to the reef when the crea- ture wriggled overboard. I then slid down and cus the line. When I got ashore my friends asked me what 1 was shingiog the mast of the dingy for. They had been watchlng me through a spy glase, 1 told them I had been clearing the haylards. If they had ever got hold of it that I had been there for ten min- utes to get away from that green-hued eel, I should never have heard the last of it.” ——— New Orleans Speaks, Mr. Charles Oswald, corner Custom- house and Johnson streets, New Orleans, Loulsiana, U.

HELMBOLD'S WINDFAUL, Legal Proceedings Involying the Con- trol ot $20,000 Worth of Real Estate, Philadelphia Record. Nearly ten years ago Dr. Henry T. Helmbold was declared a lunatic, and shortly thereafter his wife secured a di- vorce from him. The doctor was confined in the Norristown insine asylom until a few months ago, when he was released by the lunacy committee of the siate bosrd of public chartries, after Dr. Chase, the resident phyeiciap, had declired that he was an incurable lunatic, and the coury of quarter sesslons had refused to tako the responsibility of orderlng the discharge. He went to New York, and meeting his former wife the intimacy be- tween the palr was rencwed, and result- ed In a second marriage. About threo weeks ago ex-Judge El- oock, as counsel, took a rule to set aside the commission and inquisition under which the doctor was declared & lunatic, and to vacate the court’s appointment of Lewls T. Brooke as his committee or custodlan. Yesterday K, Cooper Shap- ley, represonting the committee, applied to Judge Ludlow for leave to take evi- dence in opposition to this applieation, the testimony of several witnesses hay- ing already been taken in New York in its support.

Sandidge, of New Orleans, 1a spending & few days in_this city. M. Sandldge was present at a number of seances glven by Mr. Jessia Shepherd at a private resldence in New Orleans dur ing the convention of spiritualists recent- ly held in New Orleans, and was & good deal astonished at the phenomena pro- duced, The performances, he says, have been given in churches as well as In private parlors, He described his experience at one of the seances In & written account, of which the following is an abstract: At Intervals we had music on the pl- ano (a large square instrument) by Thal- berg, Gottschalk and Mozatt, each per- forming in his own pecullar style,through Mr. Shepherd, the medium, who was so deeply entranced at to be unconsclous of what was going on. We also had at this and a previous meoting duets and trlos In independent volces by Sontag and Perslans, and La- blache, the greatest bas:o known to the world, accompanied by Donizetta, on the iano, Whilst this music—too grand to be descrlbed—wan golng on, Sappho, taking from under the piano a celestial harp, pressad it several times around the clr- cles of friends, sometimes resting it on our heaas and shoulders, against our ears and at our feet, ellciting the most ocstatic sounds in perfect accord with the piano, .then sweepivg through the upper parts of the room. The guitar—taken from a table—was also made to perform at the same time, In the same surprlsing way, all of which, in harmontous symphony, seemed to glve pulsation to the surrounding atmos- phere. Two of the lady puplls were made to sing with Persiana, and though ocon- scious of an effort to try to sing, could not hear thelr own voices, 8o exactly were they in accord with the leading volce of the great Itallan prima donna. The most uafque of all the occurrences was on Fridayevening, when the medium in deep entrancement said: ‘‘Where am? Oh, where am I? Far away In India. I eeo crowds of Moslems and persons inciting them to war agalnst the Eoglieh, And here comes M homet!” When immediately he a nounced himself ina deep bass voice, and patsing arouna the circle addressed each member In language none under- stood and so0 could make no response or engage In conversation. When this effort ceased, we wera told by some one that the ‘‘Mahometan Dance” would be played by the band accompanying their great prophet, Then began a acene of barbaric music, which seemed to be executed by a dezen or more hands fingering the strings of the piano, only touching the keys now und then—the ssme deep voics occasion- ally sounding through the room—and, climaxing at the close of the piece, the plano was lifted from the floor and jammed down upon it in repeated thumps of emphasis to & comblnation of musical sounds no words could define, The dramatic effect procuced exceeded that of the “Egyplaln March,” often played through the medium, and sup- posed by musical critics to be the most wonderfal combination of harmonious sounds possible of proauction with a sin- gle instrument. Tha next specialty followed after the playing of a Grecian hymn, which we were told by the anclent performer ‘‘was played in the Temple of Diana at Ephe- sus on great occasions, and sung by the multitude,” when the medlom, as if straggling in the grasp of some great ower, exclaimed: ‘“What are they dolng? Where am I? At Athens! And J see Socrates addressing the people, He was the great medium of his tims, far in advance of the world’s teachings; and I see Plato, his pupil, and Hector, Aohllles, Pitticus, Lysander, Cyrus, and other anclents, Persians, Greeks, Arabs and Egyptians, many of whom are now t1e pupils of Socrates in tho spirlt world ——and here—why, what is that?’ He ceased talking. From the plano then came faint sounds eo like the distant ap- proach of & railroad train that all imme- dfately recognized it, becoming londer every moment, and then with it was heard the sounds of a dlstant band of masio, likewlse increasing in volumo. uotil with a rosh and furore the entire building eeemed tremulous with excite ment—tho piano, as on a previous oc- casion, being lifted from the flsor to em- phasize the whole affatr. When ali was eilence for 8 moment, asif a train had stopped, then some one came who said: “I am Hermes, the Egyptian, and I am sent to announce the presence of the anclents,” Then wss ssid in another distivet volce: “The forms and etiquette ob- eervablo wlth us are very much the same a8 with you of our former plane of life. We are elghty-seven in nomber, and we came not by chance nor for any trivial purpose, but came as a band of anclents with greetings to our modern co-workers, and to meet them in a congress to be held at & time when the world's greatest exposltion 18 In progress in the clty of New Orleans, and Arlstotle, our scribe, stande with his book in hand to record all that transplres.

This is no little matter, for the contact of thess hard bodles, pressed with more or less force, will wear away the enamol, and sometimes Induco carles of the whole tooth, One of the simplest meansof pre- serying the teeth conslsts in cleanlinessof the mouth, The firat thing after arlsiog In the morning, or from a meal, should be to cleanse the mouth thoronghly with tedpid water. It is the custom in some parts of England and France to rinee the mouth with warm aromatio water after eating. It is well to remember that this precaution not only tends to keep the teoth cleax, but to clear the voice of those about to slng or converse, By cleaning the teeth three times a day regularly, the formation of tartar Is not only prevented, buat such particles of food and other ex- traneous matter as lodgo about and ad hero to them, causing irritation and In- flammation, aro by thls means removed. The fermentation of vegetable subtances in the mouth produces indirectly su'phur- ic acld, animal and nitrogenous substances producing nitrio acid. Theto vitlato the flulds of the mouth and help the teeth on to certain decay.

I have a pair at home that I have pre- served, not as mementoes of any long march, but as landmarks in a venturous life. It was a custom among the poorly shod Confederate troops to remove, after a battle, the shoes from the dead Union soldlers. This was not done in any spirit of vendalism or heartlessness. The shoes were taken off to supply men who had much marching to do iu inlement weath- er. We simply changed old wornout shoes for the good ones worn by those who fell in battle. “On one cccasion T took a pair of nice- ly polished No. G’ from the body of a man who muet have been in life a model soldier. I had worn theso ehoes with great comfort through the four or five re- maintng days of activity incldent to the battls before I had any opportunity to examine them carcfally.

I was confident that I had never wrilten it there, but thero on both shoes were my initisls and my family name, and I had taken those choes four days before from the feet of a man killed in battle. The inference was that I had stolen the shoes of a man re- lated to me in some way. 1 could not put them on, I walked in my stocking feet to ths commiseary department, secured a palr of new shoee, and I have the other shoes yet. ‘“The affair troubled me for a long time, I had no opportunity for making satls- factory Inquiry In regard to the man who bors my name, but In due time I did learn that there was no famlly relation- ship whatever.
