IL Is one OF the most remarkable Of
phenomena that the first bank ever
established won success unequaled in
later times. The Bank Of Venice had
Its origin In I'LL from forced public
loan raised to fit out fleet, and is the
first appearance of public funded debt.
Every citizen was obliged to contribute
the one hundredth part of his possess
sions. The'persons assessed were then
organized MS chamber of loans for
their common protection and for the re-
ceipt Of the yearly interest OF per cent.
subsequently its creditors. were per-
mitted to transfer their claims to others,
In whole or In part. The government,
finding that these transfers were In de-
mand, reduced the rates of interest until
no interest was paid. Afterward 1t sold
cash inscriptions of credit on its books.
These inscriptions cost gold, but were
not convertible into gold. As matter
OF fact, although termed bank, its
issues were government paper, and its
business was carried on solely for the
benefit of the public treasury. This
bank is still one Of the foremost financi-
al institutions in the world. For 200
years the Bank of Venice stood alone.
Mrs. Kendall, says the London Theatre,
Is very fond Of what she calls ''peeping
at the pit" Her zeal in this direction
outstripped her discretion one night,
for, having gone with her veil down. to
sit In the pit to hear the remarks made
anent her performance, she remained too
long, and found to her dismay that she
was hemmed in. 1t was drawing near
the hour for her appearance on the stage:
SO she whispered to the man nearest her:
III am Mrs. Kendall; do assist me to get
out; have to dress for the piece" AT
first the man was incredul0us, but as
soon as he recognized her he vehemently
called out to his comrades: ats Mrs.
Kendall herself" And, as she was at
once surrounded by her surging admir-
ers, she was obliged to escape to the
green-room over the barrier to the
stalls.
