Interests and Resources.
Washington. November 16——Charlcs
G. Dawes, comptroller of the currency.
has just made public the results of the
investigation which be humado into
the number, of loans and deposit ac-
counts. rates of interest, and resources
of the combined banks of the United
States in the years 1889,1894 and 1899.
In collecting this data nearly ten thou-
sand reports from banks have Been ex-
amined and compiled.
The general deductions from the lil-
vestigation covering the last ten years
ll their by the comptroller as follow-:11
}‘lrat—That thonumber of individual
depositors in the banks of the United
States is ctmstantly increasing. as in-
dicated by the regular increase in the
number of deposit accounts of the com-
blncg banking systems.
Second—That there is I demand
from borrowers for the use of the
greater proportion of the deposits of
banks. and while the number.“ indi-
vidual borrowers is increasing the de-
positors greatly outnumber the bor-
. rowers. and the incraale in titanium
of borrowers is much less than the in-
crease in the amber of tors.
Third—That the growth of the bank-
ing systems is being characterised by
agradually lessening rate of interest
charged on loans. ,
Fourtho’l‘hata gradually lessening
rate of ihicrcat is being paid upon de-
posits.
Fifth-That. considering the larger
clientage of national and saving banks
the average deposit ol 9 individual
or corporation is slowly ncrcasing.
Sixth—That the average size of
limos. all classes of banks considered.
has not varied much in the last decade.
Seventh-That the growth in the ag-
gigolo of deposits has been as fol-

A LESSON "8 COOKING.
How a Hobo Served Up a Dish of
Roast Chicken.
“The first time i ran away from
home i learned a trick or two that was
wortn the while," said a well known
business man. "i started out on several
unauthorised tours of adventure before
1 reached years of discretion. but the
first is most vividly impressed upon my
memory. 'lhree of us kids meant a
freight train and got some 80 or 70
miles aw Iy from home before the first
nightfall. Then we didn' t know where
to spend the night. Several attempts to
nuartcr ourselves in empty cars on
the side track of I tie village only
resulted in our being based away and
threatened with arrest. so we went to
the outskirts of the place and built a
fire on the bank of a little creek. Here
we made ourselves as comfortable as
possible and one or two of us had actu-
ally dosed on for short naps when I

into the fire and scraped the bur lug

cook rolled it out again. lot it cool a
little and then broke it open with a
stone. The feathers had stuck to the
baked clay and a clean. inviting chick-

moisture that in ordlnl'y baking in lost
had been kept in by the brickiike ln-
clonure. and the morsel that fell to my
lot was the iuiclcst and sweetest l have
ever eaten."—-Cincinnati Enquirer.

This woman's predicament is not an
unusual one in Washington ofilciai

One winter social circles in Wash-

‘ shocked by the doing! of‘ one of the
best known women in olilclal circles.
A number of hostesses began to miss
valuable llollles from their dinner ta-
bles after they had given luncheons or
dinners. and finally several of them
got together and compared DOU’H. and

on the dollics, and at the next lunch-
eon, she. sealed the suspected klepto-
maniac next to her. When the doll-
ies were brought on. she watched her
guest and discovered that lhc latter
laid her dolly on the table and. care-
lessly dropping her handkerchief over
it. picked up both.
The hostess. in 11 most charming
manner. turned to her guest anlLsaid:
”Pardon me. my dear Mrs. ——-—~. but
i am afraid you have my most e:-
quislte dolly in your handkerchief. it
is so fine i am afraid it will he crush-
ed and therefore call your attention to
your inadvertent-e in taking it up with
your handkerchief."
The guest was not in the least abutm-
ed. and. with a laugh she shook out
her handkerchief. and the dolly fell
back on the table. whereupon Ihc ex-
claimed: “Why. dear me. so i have.
How very careless of me!"
There were significant glances all
around the table. but no more [lollies
were lost during that season.
HOW A BULLET TRAVELS.
Masons the Soldier in Taught in
Learning How to Shoot.
The soldier ist alight that the bullet
travels through the air in a curved line
called the trajectory. and that three
forces act upon it—first. the' exploded
charge. tending to drive it forvmrd in
a straight line along the line of fire:
second. the force of gravity. and third.
the air resistance. At 200 yards. owing
to these forces, the bullet. traveling at
the rate of 2,000 feet a second. will
have fallen about two feet. in the ex-
citement of firing at close quarters the
aim will invariably be too high.
it has been calculated that when the
enemy approaches within 350 yards the
soldiers will instinctively fire as much
as two feet or three feet above their
heads. Now. it has been found by ex-
perimenting that the fact of fixing bay—
onets will cause the bullet to drop a
distance of about 21.4 feet in 350 yards.
and there fore when about this distance
from the enemy soldiers are instructed
to fix bayonets. in order to counteract
the excessive elevation of their aim?
The recruit learns that the mean ex-
treme rnugc of the bullet is 3.500 yards.
and that the longest shot ever observed
was 3.760 yards. lie is taught the pun".
tratiug power of his weapon. an object
full of interest. To take one or two tx-
amples. rammed earth gives loss pro-
tection than loose; bullets easily find
their way through joints of walls. while
a concentrated fire of about 150 rounds
at 200 yards will breach a nine inch
brick wall.
Only experience can teach a soldier
h w much he must aim to the right or
19 t of his mark to counteract the force
of the wind. A side wind has more
silent on the flight of the bullet than a
wind blowing directly toward the lirer.
The soldier must learn the habits of his
rifle. since some shoot higher or lower
than others. Every ride. like every
marksman. has its own individuality.—
