Shaving or q Run.

In times of severe panic people have
been known to refuse Bank of England
notes and prefer local notes. In coun-
try districts Of Scotland the old one
pound notes were greatly preferred to
sovereigns. 1t il said that when there
was run upon the Bank of England
in 1765 the device was resorted to of pay
ing the country people in shillings and
sixpences. One acute Manchester firm
painted all their premises profusely, and
many dapper gentlemen were deferred
from approaching the counter. a story
is told OF Cunliffe Brooks Bank. When
there was an impetuous and unreasoning
rush for gold. Mr.. Brook obtained a
number of sacks of meal, opened them
at the top, put a good thick layer of
cloth upon the contents, then placed
them united where the glittering coins
would be manifest to all observers. One
bank procured. number of people as
confederates, to whom they paid gold,
then slipped round again to back door
and refunded it, and thus the effect of a
stage army was produced. At another
bank the chief cashier himself examined
every note with the most searching scru-
tiny, holding it up to the light, testing
the signature. and making believe that,
on account of alarm as to forgery, there
was need of the most scrupulous care.
When he had completed his pretended
examination he handed the note to one
of his subordinates very deliberately,
with, in slow and measured terms, "You
may pay it." Other plans were to pay
the money very languidly, counting it
twice over 80 as to be sure the sum was
right, and to give sovereign short, so
that the customer should complain, and
the counting have to be done over again.
At one Of the banks peck measures in
verted were placed in the windows facing
the street, a pile of gold upon the top,
after the maner of the fruit exposed for
sale at street corners In the summer.
At another the coin was heated in SHOW
els over the fire in the parlor behind and
handed out as "new" at temperature
of 5000 Fahrenheit. The clerk in
charge, accommodating his phraseology
to the occasion, cried out loudly every
half hour, "Now, Jim, do be gettin' on
with them sovereigns folks is waitin'
for their money" Coming, sir, CON-
ing," was the ready reply, and the
folk !" thought the supply boundless.
It is always the supplemented and the
unimformed who constitute on such oc-
casons the chief portion of the throng,
just as the people who 60 to extremes are
the half-educated ones. The crowd was
easily persuaded the proof that ell was
right was burning their fingers.

A Terrible Crime.

A servant girl of Stargard, in Germa-
ny, had in course of several years saved
a handsome sum of money, which she
deposited in a savings bank. One day
she drew the morey and took the train
for the town of Schneidemuhl, few
miles from home. She visited an old
acquaintance. butcher, and told him
In course of the conversation of the
money she had in her pocket. The
butcher advised her to wrap up the
money and fasten it on her head, buried
In the hair. The girl followed his adj
vice and left for home, the way taking
her over a deserted heath. Meeting
policeman, she begged him to accompa.
ny her on account of her money. The
policeman complied, and accompanied
her the greater part of the way. Hard
ly, however, had he left her and turned
back when he heard piercing shrek.
Fastening back, he found the girl lying
dead III the street without her head.
which had been carried off. As the girl
had told the policeman of the butcher
whom she had visited, his suspicious
were at once aroused, and he fastened
to the butchers house. After waiting
half an hour the butcher came in with
bag under his arm. To the question of
what was in it he replied that 1t was
Sleeps head, and threw it Under the
bed. The policeman left, and returned
In few minutes with some colleagues.
The sack was demanded, and on being
opened was found to contain the MUIR

Coed Taste Among the Mighty.

The more [ think about the elephants,
the more wonderful they seem to be.
The great clumsy creatures are so very
showing. SO very loving, and so like
human beings in many of their qualities.
They know their power well, and they
also know just when they must not use
it. Deacon Green tells me that keepers
and trainers of elephants often lie down
on the ground and let the huge fellows
step right over them ; and that they feel
perfectly safe in doing SO, because they
know the elephants will pick their way
carefully over the postrate forms, never
so much as touching them, still less
treading on them. Yet the mighty crea-
lures can brush man out OF existence
as easily rs man can brush away q hy
And what delicate tastes they have-de-
lighted, I'm told, with strawberries,
gum. drops, or any little dainty of that
kind. They are fond of bright colors,
too, and travellers tell wonderful tales of
seeing elephants gather flowers with the
greatest care, and smell them, apparently
with the keenest pleasure.
1t is true they eat the flowers after
ward, but dear me! I've seen girls do the
same thingl Many time I've watched

SOME of the claims presented in Con-

stories, and of such is that recently made
by the descendants of Nicolas and Marc
Antoine Fouquet, Frenchmen, and
father and son, who came to this coun-
try with Lafayette in 1776. They were
powdermakers, and supplied the Amer
leans with much of the material, be-
side teaching others how to make it.
While in New England the son fell in
love with Lydia Giddings, of Exeter,
N. H., and married her in 1850. At the
end of their service the father and son
presented bill of S34,5 $50 to the Con-
tinental Congress, which was audited
but not paid. The old. gentleman went
back to France and died there. The y Dung
Fouquet and his wife went to Tobago,
where in due course of time both died,
leaving two daughters, one of whom
died without issue. The other married

redemption of national bank notes !:
United States notes, silver certificates
