Where the Old Maids Come In.

DO you know, SIR" inquired an
American tourist of his companion
while doing England, '.can you inform
me the reason for the fresh, heaIthful
appearance of the English people:
Their complexion is far superior &c
ours, or our countrymen over the her
ring pond"
''Well, know what Prof Huxley
says"
''And what reason does he ADVANCED
well, Huxley says it is all owing tc
the old maids"
"Owing to the old maids! You sur
prise me-"
Fact. Huxley figures it ont in this
way. Now. Won know the English arc
very fond of roast beef
But what has that to do with old
maids?'
$50 slow. This genuine English
beef is the best and most nutritious
beef in the world, and it imparts q
beautiful complexion
"Well, about the old maids"
Eyes, you see the excellence of this
English beef is due exclusively to red
clover. Do YOU see the point?''
'sAll but the old maids They are
still lowering in the shadows. -
why, don't you see? This red
clover is enriched, sweetened and fruc-
titled by humble bees
But where do the old maids come
IMP" said the inquisitive American,
wipinG his brow YEARLY.
WHY, it is as plain as the nose on
your face. The only enemy of the
humble bee is the field mouse"
But what have roast beef. red CO
yer, humble bees and field mice got to
do with old maids?''
.'Why, you must be very obtuse
Don't you perceive that the humble bees
would soon become exterminated by the
field mice if it were not for
"Old maids?'
''NO, if it were not for cats. and the
old maids of Old England keep the
country thoroughly stocked up with
cats, and so we can directly trace the
effect of the rosy English compilations
to the benign cause of English old
maids; at least that's what Huxley says
about it. and that's Just where the old
maids come in. Science makes clear
many mysterious things. and don't you
forget it. "-IeCGS SiTtingS.

The Liability Of Bank Directors.

The large defalcations. at the River
Plate Ban, have set people asking once
more whether bank directors have a
right to consider that they hold sine
cures. A few years ago one T'Kindt,
a clerk in the Banque de Belgique. en-
bezzled f920,OOO and it was elected at
his trial that his depredations had ex-
tended over three or four years. A
Belgian Senator sat on the board OF
directors, and he had been deputed
many times to audit T Kindt' S accounts,
but he had found it simpler to trust to
that gentleman, and the result was that
he got sentenced to years imprison-
ment for his good nature DepOsitOrs
and borrowers do not commit their Sc
curities to a clerk or cashier whose
name is unknown to them, but to
directors whose names have figured on
prospectuses, and who seem to offer
guarantees for good management. This
is point which directors too frequently
overlook.-LOndon Graphic.
