Saa bt -- Government for Sams of Not ! Than rln Dollars Par latret oa Amount Over f50. It may seem strange, aaya the Toron to Monetary Times, that there Is in the banka of Canada a sum approachhiK 1400,000 in 189o it reached $427,108 and 1807 it was $.187,(568 consisting of un claimed balancea. The sums are vari ous, ranging from one cent or a frac tion of a dollar to tnousauas oi aoi lars. One wonder how many of these balancea arise. We have been told that many an old man or old woman will make deposits and not wishing their relatives to know of their sav logs, will say nothing' about the fact. Should such old persona die the only way in which this deposit could' prob ably become known, would be througn the list of auch sums published annual ly. Again, there are numbers oi per aona who, having long bad an account with a bank, will draw all their money except one or two dollars. This helps to account for many a amall aum. Naturally, tbe older banks have the larger accumulation of unclaimed money in this or other ways. The Bank of Montreal and Ihe British bank have large tuma, but the city dis trict saving bank exceed either of them, having nearly 4,000 separate un claimed balances, the aggregate of which is over $80,000. It is only of late years that the government of Canada haa busied itself in taking'custody of .the funds. Not, presumably, that they were unsafe in the hands of the banka, but perhaps that it waa a pa ternal duty of the state to control them. Dlvorea la CsaaSs.

It may not generally be known that for many years 'the general govern mn.t haa conducted a savings bank for the accommodation of certain citizens, soys the Kansas City Journal. An act of congress of the date ot May IS, 1873, provides that any soldier in the army may deposit with any paymaster hi savings In sums not less than five dol lars, aud it shall be the duty of thepny master to srupply the soldier with a de posit book, in which are entered the amounts of hla deposits. When the de posits have readied the sum of $90 the government ia required to pay the de positor interest at the rate of four per orat. per annum. Having once acposiv ed a sum of money the depositor is not permitted to draw it until the date of his discharge. The deposits are exempt from attachment for debt, but they for feit to the government if the depositor deserts from the army. The govern ment assumes the responsibility tor all such deposits and a defaulting paymas ter can work the soldier no injury, Paymaster Rucker once told the writer that about 30 per cent, of the enlisted men in the regular army availed them selves ol this privilege. - r.u utnnn RiinnnaafnllT Treated "I havo just reoovorod from the second attaolt of la grippo this year," says Mr, Jas.

Pennsylvania, gives an interesting ex nlanation. of. the difference between anthracite and bituminous coal, so far is the gases are concerned, his opinion being based on tbe supposition of all . coal beds, having, been originally formed, on a horizontal or flat bed. The anthracite bedvh assumes, were placed under enormous pressure, or side pressure, by. the contraction ot the earth's crust during the cooling itage, thus forming the coal basins as now seen at the toot ol tne mountains; such an enormous pressure resulted in forcing the explosive and other gases out of the an.tbra.cite beds to the seams and crevices ot the veins and to the fissures, seams and pores of the rock strata. This compression has been so great that gases in the anthracite re gion are sometimes found with the mighty pressure of 17,000 pounds to the square inch. On the other hand, thS bituminous beds have not neen suo jected to such a disturbance and pres sure, and the coal, therefore, retains the gases which it contained original ly. White damp. Prof. Ihlseng shows, is produced by imperfeot combustion, while black damp is produced by per fect combustion, and destroys life by kcing devoid of sustaining elements. AUCTIONS AT HOME. Bow ta Daushtera of a Weaiera SU1- Uoaalt Sell Thlr Clothe to Kaeta Other. "In a family of my town," said a western woman to a New York friend, 'there is a little custom which Is often amusing, and - which is, t think, quite original. The father Is a millionaire, and, unlike many rich fathers, he leaves his check blank when he signs them," and neVer ask any questions. One result of this sometimes is thoughtless expenditure. I won't say extravagance, because the daughters would not willingly disre gard their privilege. But when one makes a purchase which she afterward' recreta. Instead ol returning : it, as most women would do, an auction is held in the household, and the article., 's sold to the highest bidder. The auc tioneer Is the original purchaser, "Sometimes the auction Is very amus ing, -und the manner of the sale shows a woman's cunning. When I was there Inst a dress which cost $300 was knocked down to one of the sisters for $15. There were no other bidders. The 'auctioneer' was slightly disappointed, but shedidu't know thnt Ihe purchaser had entered Into an agreement with her other sister not to bid Against fhem on other articles if they wouldn't bid against her on the dress."
