any "st remarkable whirlpool IN tho
'l'e ,.,s , ,r.,s,-.- ,ated on the Norwegian an
Gstrnrra2s, ana Ssf the Loli!Qael
Is. Only Five minutes walk TO any Of
Isles. IL r,...a between The islands Of
Moskenes and large solitary rock in
the middle of the straits. The strong
currents rushing between the Great
West Fjord and the outer ocean
through the channels Of the LoffOden
Isles produces anumber Of whirlpOols,
of which the maelstrom is by far the
most dangerous. Such eXtrayagant
stories have been told of this great
eddy-how everything that enters the
border of its current is instantly
sucked down into a bottomless abyss
that its very existence has been doubt
ed. However, an examination was
made of it In 1859 by the Norwegian
photographic survey, and an official
report made. From this report we
learn that in summer the current is
comparatively calm for short time at
flood or ebb tide, when boats may ven
ture upon it. In calm weather steam
ers can cross it at any state of the tide
or large ships, if a steady wind is blow
ing. But in winter or in storms it is
highly dangerous for any vessel to try
to pass the whirlpool. During storm
from the west, for instance, the cur.
rent runs continually to the east at a
rate of six knots an hour, without
changing its directions for rising or
falling tide, and the stream will boil
and eddy in such mighty whirls that
the largest steamer could hardly con
tend successfully with the waters. OF
course, the danger is not of suction
into the heart Of the whirlpool, as
legends have supposed, but of being
dashed to pieces against the rocks.
Dead whales are sometimes thrown
upon the neighboring coast which
have evidently been killed in this way.
The depth Of the whirlpool is only
twenty fathoms, but just outside the
straits soundings reach from 100 to POO
fathoms CHjnogo inter- OceaH

The First Bank in Europe.

The bark OF Venice, the first Of its
kind established in Europe, was founded
i'm lI7l. 1t owed its existence to tho
long wars between the Guelphs and tho
Ghibeliines. and to governments need
of money for conducting them. Having
exhausted every other resource, the state
was obliged to resort to forced loans
from its wealthy citizens. Then was or
vanlzcd the chamber Of loans, which by
dcrrecs assumed the form of bank. Ii
is said Of this institution that ''it was
for many ages the admiration Of Eu-
rope. the chief instrument Of Venetian
finance, and the chief facility of a com
mctcc not surpassed by that Of any Eu-
ropean nation" Funds once deposited
in the bank could not be withdrawn.

the owners upon its books. So thor

during its entire existence, these credits
were at premium over coin, the latter
being often clipped and worn, as well as

The Origin of "Mr.v and "Mrs

The history of those everyday titles
of Mr.. and Mrs, which are now the
common property of every one, is not
without interest, though in some of
its steps it is little obscure. In the
earlier times of our history the ordi
nary man was simply William or John;
that is to say, he had merely Chris
tain name, without any kind of "han-
die before it, or surname after it.
some means of distinguishing one
John or one William ff0Tn another
John or another William became nee
essary. Nicknames, derived from a
mans trade, or from his dwelling
place, or from some personal peculiari-
ty, were tack on to their Christian
names, and plain John became plain
John Smith. AS yet there were nc
"Misters" in the land. Some John
Smith accumulated more wealth than
the bulk of his fellows -becam per
haps a landed proprietor, or an en-
ployer of hired labor. Then he began
to be called in the Norman French of
the day, the "Maistre," of this place,
or of that of these workmen or of
those. In time the "Maistre," or
Master" as it soon became. got
tackled on before his name, and he be-
came Master Smith and his wife was
Maistress Smith. But gradually the
sense Of possession was lost sight Of,
and the title was conferred upon any
man who had attained social distinc-
tiOn of any kind, whether by mere
possession of wealth, or by holding
some position of more or less consider
alton and Importance. 1t is only with
in comparatively modern times that
the term came to be considered an al
most indispensable adjunct to every
ones name when mentioned in ordIna-
ry conversation or writing. Maistress
Smith soon became Mistress Smith.
Exactly how and when the term got
corrupted cannot be said. Master
Smith, however, remained Master
Smith long after his wife became Mis-
tress Smith. Times Democrat.

goes home from his work in the evening

The First Umbrella in London.

In Red Lyon square lived, in former
days, many notable persons. Among
these was Jonas lIanway, well known
as the benevolent traveller, the found
er of Magdalene hospital, and last,
but not least, as the introducer of um-
brellas into London. IIanway, who
died at his house in the square in 1876
was the first man who yentured, after
his return from Persia in delicate
health, to walk about the streets Of
the metropolis with an umbrella over
his head. 1t was bold proceeding
for, although others ultimately fol-
lowed his example, some time elapsed
before the fashion became general, and
it was so regarded as a sign of infrmi-
ty to use umbrellas that those who
carried them were exposed to much
"chaff' and unpleasant ieering from
the London gamins of the day.
strangely enough, the hlgh posltlon
the umbrella has attained in political
circles of late is foreshadowed in one
of Beaumont and Fletcher's plays,
Rule Wife and Have a Wife," where
Altea says, as though she were adj
dressing a liberal candidate for par
liamentary honors of the present time
Are you at ease? Now is your heart at rest2
Now you have got a shadow, an umbrella
To keep the scorching worlds opinion
From your fair credit.
The umbrella may be glorifed by
Mr.. Gladstone; but it would be unjust
to ignore the fact that it is really in.

old man of Red Lyon square,-St
