A close study of the general state- ment of assets and Habilities would seem to indicate that the management has given its every consideration to- wards keeping the bank strong both in cash and immediate liquid assets, such a policy being rendered advisable by the very unusual conditions 'prought about in Canada by the-out- break of the European war. In order to maintain such a position, even op- oortunities for profits were apparently %"gnored to some extent, but as a result the statement, as a whole, is perhaps the strongest ever issued by the Royal Bank and at the present time this should be as satisfactory to share- holders as it is reassuring to the pub- lic generally. Under the conditions it enables the bank to play a prominent part in helping the Dominion through an unprecedented situation. New Record of Cash on Hand, The part of the general statement which is of particular interest is per- haps that which shows the cash po- sition and the Hquid assets. At the end of the fiscal year, the amount of cash on hand reached the new high level of $27,683,855, which is equival- ent to such an ample percentage as 17.93% of liabilities to the public. This account compares with $21,466,- 209, last year, which was equivalent to 13.83%, or an increase of over $6,000,- 000. Including the cash on hand, the Nquid assets amount to $71,244,677, Which is equivalent to as much as 46.16% of liabilities to public. The principal accounts in this department include notes of other banks, $2,525,- 205; cheques on other banks, $5,752,- 485; balance due by banks and bank- ing correspondents elsewhere than in Canada, $3,144,502; Dominion and Provincial Government securities not exceeding market value, $1,158,568; Janiadian Municipal securities and British, foreign and colonial public securities, other than Canadian, $2,- 185,062; railway and other bonds, debentures and stocks, not exceeding market value, $18,557,741; call loans in Canada, $8,574,058; call and short loans eclsewhete than in Canada, $6,080,847. indication of Contraction in Trade. With the falling off in general bust- ness in the country, the current loans have naturally shown a slight contrac- tion, these amounting to $84,585,972, as compared with $86,989,290 at the end of the previous year and other current loans and discounts elsewhere than in Canada, $15,002,488, as com- pared with $15,551,594. Growth During Year. Even under the unprecedented con- ditions that prevailed, the progress of the bank, as indicated, by increased deposiis, was most satisfactory. De- posits not bearing interest at the end of the year totalled $31,224,129, as compared with $36,276,871, at the end of the previous year, while deposits bearing interest reached a new high level at $104,827,078, as compared with $101,960,790. The total deposits aggre- gated $136,051,208, as against $138,- 177.622. a decrease of approximately $2,00-0,000. It will be remembered, however, that during the year the Bank repaid the deposit of the Al- berta and Great Waterways Co., amounting to $7,000,000, and atlowing for this, the ordinary deposits during the year showed an increase of $5,000,000, Large Amounts Written Off. The profit and loss account indicates that owing to the exceptional con- ditious. {he management has deemed ft advisable to follow a very conserva- tive policy in its valuation of invest- ments, and this year has made a special reservation on this account of $500,000 The prefits for the year amounted to $1,886,142, equivalent to 16.30% on the paid up capital. As the balance of profit and loss at the end of the previous year amounted to $1,015,119, the total amount available for distri- bution, with the profits added, amount- ed to $2,901,262. Of this amount dividends accounted for. $1,387,200; $100,000 was transferred to officers' pension fund; $250,000, written off bank premises' account; $50,000, con- tributed to patriotic funds; $500,000, allowed for depreciation in invest- ments. This left balance to be carried forward to profit and loss account at the end of the year, $614,062.

Immense public interest is always aroused when the names of British officers are associated with ee Hundreds of attempts are made to induce men who hold high rank to betray their country; and before Secret Service was brought to such a fine art as it is to-day, attempts were still more numerous. While he was governor of Gibral- tar the late Sir Henry Smith one day received a mysterious letter offering £1,000. in return for "a slight service,' which the letter did not describe. Sir Henry took no notice of the communication. But in a few days | ap: came another letter increasing the offer to £2,000, and covertly sug- gesting that the governor might turn a blind eye on the landing of men and weapons behind the Rock. Next, a notable sheik, Wazir Ma- homet Ali, called and offered £3,- 000, finally £5,000, for the favor mentioned. Rising caper OF from his seat the governor, ig, powerful man, took the sheik by the shoulders, twisted him round, ran him to the door, and sent him sprawling down a flight of steps. Some years ago a Captain Grant was despatched on a diplomatic mission to @ little state beyond the north-west frontier of India. First there was an attempt upon his life, but Grant managed to convey the idea to the native ruler, who knew no law except fear, that there was an extensive British force in the background. Afterwards he was visited by a distinguished envoy of the ruler, who offered the equivalent, of £500 if Grant would settle the matter in hand in accordance with the ruler's wishes. Gradually the offer in- creased to £1,500 in money, the best horse in the district, and five wives to be selected by the young officer himself. Grant did not accept tihe offer. Sir Robert Hart, the famous ad- ministrator, when in China, one morning woke to find a procession of bearers and carts before his dwelling with money, silks, vases, cedan chairs, and valuables to the tune of about £1,000 in English money. All this finery had been dumped down without any prelimi- nary negotiations by the orders of a mandarin, who wanted some little shortcomings in the shape of em- bezzled Customs dues overlooked. Sir Robert, more amused than an- gry, bundled the whole lot back. Different treatment was meted out, however, by an A.B. in the navy named Walter Barratt, who made the acquaintance of a charm- ing and genial stranger at Ply- mouth. They had confidential chats, and the stranger threw out hints which the straightforward mind of the sailor failed to understand. Finally, feeling sure of his man, the tempter offered Barratt a bribe of £500 for the theft of a signal-code book, When the bluejacket grasped the situation, he set about the man and pummelled him unmercifully. Bar- ratt was "run in" for assault, but the charge was dismissed immedi- Si when the magistrate heard the ory. pater | athe 3 What I Know. I know that this day will never come again.

It is said that among the French. troops there have been very few cases of infect- ed wounds. The percentage of re- coyeries has been surprisingly high, and relatively few limbs have been amputated. The methods employed in the treatment of the wounded are new within the last few years, and they represent the greatest ad- vance in operative and clinical sur- gery since Lister discovered and revealed the principles of * antl- sepsis. * Even so short a time ago as dur- ing the Spanish-American war it was customary to wash wounds with soap and water before apply- ing a dressing. The surgeons in the French and German armies to-day do nothing of the kind, writes Dr. Rupert Blue, sungeon general of the United States public health ser- vice, in the Youth's Companion. They do not wash wounds at all. Instead, the military doctor picks up a wad of sterilized absorbent cotton with his forceps, dips it into a bottle that contains a mixture 0 ra and. benzine, and gently dabs it over the lacerated part. Probing is avoided. Iodine is now recognized as the best germ killer in existence, Benzine isa first rate cleaner; as it evaporates it 'takes the grease off the skin. To finish the cleaning and leave the wound in a germ free condition, ready for the application of the sterilized dress- ing, the surgeon uses a mixture of one-third iodine and two-thirds al- cohol. Hospital Gangrene. In the present conflict nothing is heard of "hospital gangrene.' Happily. this worst horror of war has now been done away with. A few years ago hospital gangrene was a mystery ; no one knew whence it came or how it was com- municated. To-day we know that the malady is attnibutable to a spe- cific germ, and that in former times when ignorance regarding it pre- vailed, it was spread chiefly lby the doctors and nurses in the "military hospitals, as they went from pa- tient to patient dressing the wounds with bare, germ-carrying hands. Everything possible is done with instruments. If the wound is a cut, forceps with serrated edges for grasping is employed, after the wound has been cleaned, to draw the lips together. Then the lips are sewn together with a needle that has been sterilized in boiling water. Suppose that the leg bone has been broken by a fragment of a shell. When such a thing happen- ed in the Spanish war, the surgeon, after carefully shaving the leg, washed it with soap and water. Now the military surgeon merely disinfects the wound with an iodine mixture in the manner already de- seribed. He removes any frag- ments of bone or foreign matter, sets the leg, in order that the brok- en parts may unite, applies a ster- ilized dressing and leaves the rest to nature. The operation is much ably quicker. The military surgeon to-day is ex- tremely reluctant to amputate. The surgeon does not amputate un- less he is absolutely compelled to do so, and even then he cuts off as little as he can. If a man's hand is crushed and even the little fin- ger can be saved, it is well worth gaving, inasmuch as it can hold something. The soldier's leg may be frightfully injured, yet the sur- geon will not cut it off except as A Last Resort. Rather than do so, he will leave it alone for a while to take care of itself, after applying, of course, the necessary treatment with anti- septic cleansing and suitable dress- ing. His object is to give nature a chance to accomplish all that she ean do. When amputation has to be performed, the patient's chance of recovery under modern condi- tions, with the help of the scien- derstood, is certainly more than twice as good as it used to be. The number of men wounded 'n dhe battles on the present war is enormous, but the percentage of deaths is said to be remarkably small. That, of course, is largely owing to the improved methods off surgical treatment and also to the fact that modern rifle bullets inflict much smaller and cleaner wounds than the bullets of fonmer days. The bullet in use to-day, although only three-tenths of an inch, has great penetrating power. It leaves the muzzle of the rifle at a speed of nearly half a mile a second, and easily passes through the thickest part of a. man. It does very little tearing, and so makes a wound with. clean edges, which is much less like- ly to catch and hold germs. < In the present conflict a vast amount of suffering for the wound- ed is prevented by the use of an- aesthetics, especially where. opera- tions have to be performed. It is likely that the French and GQer- mans in 'their field and base hospit- _als are using, when amputations have to be made, such special 'pain deadeners as. hovocaine ' 'and scopo- lamine, which are injected into the spinal canal, They 'have the ad- vantage that they do not leave a man helpless for many hours after the operation. They are 'utilized, =e Sait sur }eination against typhoid will ac- |a satisfactory preventive of chol- quicker and the results incompar- | tific methods of treatment now un-.

Vac- complish much; but even better as a preventive "of this malady is the practice of boiling the soldiers' drinking water. The army. of doe- tors will see to that. At the same time it is cbvious that thirsty men on the march will not refrain on oc- casions. from drinking water wher- every they happen to find it; hence the value of vaccination. Boiled drinking water is likewise era, although when an epidemic of that disease has-once fairly started, raw fruit and raw vegetables must be avoiled. Typhus which used to be called camp fever, one of the great destroyers of armies in form- er days, is spread, as was recently discovered, by the body louse.

The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. meaner HOW SHOT IS MADE. Molten Lead Is Dropped From a High Point into a Water Tank. The manufacture of shot, diescrib- ed by Mr. O. €. Horn, in Forest and Stream, requires a high tower, a perforated pan, a tank of water, and "tempered" lead, Shot is made by dropping molten lead from a high point to the earth. The lead forms into glicbules just as the raindrops dio when they fall from the clouds. Ordinarily, we do not-realize that raindrops are little spheres, but under the proper con- ditions they freeze, and we have hailstones, which may be called shot made of ice. _ In the making of shot, pure lead is melted and mixed with a, "tem- per' that consists mainly of tin, and then poured into a perforated pan orsieve. The perforations vary oceording to the size of shot to be made. _ A temper is mixed with the lead in order to make the globules form when the lead falls. If pure lead were used, it would fall in the form of little bars, instead of round shot. In order that the globules may have plenty of time to form, the lead must fall a long distance, and so towers are built. The towers used to be made as high as two hun- dred feet and even more, but mod- ern towers are rarely over one hun- dred and fifity feet. The perforated pan into which the molten lead is poured is at the top of the tower, and the globules of lead fall through the perforations into tanks of water at the bottom of the tower, The water cools them, and also prevents them from flat- tening out, as they would if they fell on a solid floor. From the water the shot go to steam dryers. After drying the per- fect shot are separated from the im- perfect by means of glass tables in- clined enough so that the shot, when poured'on at one end of the table, will roll to the other end. At the farther end of the table are two gutters, side by side. The imperfect shot roll slowly and with difficulty, so that they have not enough mo- mentum ito carry them beyond thie first gutter. The perfectly round shot roll easily and swiftly, and when they reach the foot of the ta- ble, they jump nimbly across the first gutter and land in the second. After separation, the perfect shot, are polished by rolling in plumbago, and workmen then put them in bags for chipment, or send them direct to the cantridge-filling department to be loaded into shells. +. Savages Insignificant Size. Is it not possible that we who have never ventured far from our home may under-estimate the intel- ligenee and brain capacity of those great tribes cf savages who are but aname tous. A scientist, lecturing recently in London, stat ed 'that he was one of a party cf scientists who journeyed to 'forres Straits; and in carrying out investigations diseov- ered that the head measurement, or cranial capacity, of the natives was just about the same ae that of the average University undergraduate. In the interior cf Borneo the scien- tists unearthed a savage tribe who live in houses a hundred yards long, raised on twenty-feet poles, with chambers for each family, and a long corridor for the communal life of the joint tenants. The nature of these latter dwellings indisputably shows that the natives have a keen sense of the hygienic, and their so- cial intercourse exhibits the true spirit of brotherhood. eG ee At a choledenl woncert to hear Patti a young lady was looking for a seat.

Evidence of the reaction of German officers and soldiers fighting at the front against the tendency to belittle the fighting qualities of the enemy continue to accumulate in Berlin. Soldiers' letters and returning sol- diers speak in ter of high appre- elation of the military prowess and soldierly qualities of their opponents, and among several hundred wounded with whom the correspondent of the Associated Press has talked in his vis- its to hospitals the last fortnight, no one was found who refused to credit the enemy in general -- Russian, French and Belgian and English with bravery and military skill. Distinctions ure drawn, it is true, the British being generally reckoned as the toughtst RAPONODES on the west front. The Germans had a high opinion of the fighting qualities of the French soldier before this war began. The from the Belgian frontier to the Marne and Paris, tended to lesson their respect for toughiiess of French moral fibre, but the last two months have changed that again, and sol- diers' letters reflect increased respect for them. The recent fighting of the remnart of the Beljian army in Fian- ders also has greatly raised the Ger- man estimation of the Belgian soldier, who, in the general army opinion, had not greatly distinguished himself at Liege, Namur and Antwerp, and the intervening field engagements. As to the British, field post letters continue to bear. out the statement from a German expert as to their ro- bust fighting qualities. One of the latest of these letters, printed in the Cologne Gazette, contain the follow- | ing striking passage: "People at home appear to have wrong notions about the fighting farm are weak, ailing women, dragged | ldown with torturing backache deranged : 'complaint can't cure themselves, they | To give 'vitality.
