BOARDING IN EUROPE.
Large Quantities of silver. Gold, and Bank
Notes Stored Away.
chambers Journal

II has been remarked generally that
thrifty people like the French, Swiss. Bel
gians, and Dutch hoard coin more than the
Scotch and English. The Irish were adj
dicted 10 boarding bank-nOtes. but the
practice prevailed in former years more
than now. In Italy large quantities of
gold and silver were boarded from
1862 20 1865. because paper money was
then declared legal-tender. or forced
on the country. In lssl-S3 the gold
standard was established in Italy, and the
gold Necessary TO effect this change was
drawn 10 q great extent from boards. In
France n great deal Of boarding has ex-
listed for a long time especially among the
peasantry, who are the most parslmonl-
Gus il Europe. Many causes have con-
tributed TO the creation of this habit.
not the least being the insecurity arising
from the unsettled forms Of govern
ment in France. Lately, however, these
boards have been extensively drawn
on in connection with the payment, at the
close Of the Franco-(ierman war. of the
French indemnity of fs0,0OO,OOO. or TINS
amount one half was paid out of French
boards. An Ex-Governor of the Bank OF Eng
land, IN his evidence before the Bimetal-
ism Commission, estimates the contrlbu-
tions from boards as equal To two thirds OF
the amount of the indemnity. Ia illustr1-
ton Of peasant boarding he related how one
Of the leading French bankers told him that
at the time of the siege of Paris he left Paris
10 20 and look at his estate In the nelghbOr-
hood. He went up 10 one OF the peasants
and told him that he had just come out to
look after his affairs, and that he was very
anxious to pay his people their wages. but
that under the circumstances he had no
MONEY. The peasant said: If 100000.
(El,6O)) are any good 90 You, / have got
them in q stocking under my bed, and |
will 90 and fetch them They were IN
gold coin. These boards the French
Government wisely attracted by Offering
inducements 10 the peasant classes in the
way AZ preferential allotment of the rentcs,
or through premium on the price paid.
Hoar Is are not common in Germany but
there is o large war hoard living at Julius
thurm. in Spaudau belonging TO the Gov
eminent Of 100 coo, 900 marks, or C6,OoOOod,
which goes under the name OF the German
Empirp war treasure.

and the SuItor Fled
AS a pretty young typewriter sat at her
desk near an Office window looking out on
Broad street the other day, working rapidly
with her nmbie fingers, she felt the con-
sciousness Of strange eyes upon her, says
the Atlanta Constitution, and raised her
own only 10 meet those Of "A ChiDaman- The
ChinamGn was gazing at her most intently.
The young lady went on with her work,
thinking the strange little figure would de-
part, but it moved not neither did IL speak
for some minutes After gazing at her in
tently, the figure glided noiseiessly into the
Office and said TO one OF the clerks: "Meh-
can gal muchee hkee Chinee"
The "Melican gal" referred TO flushed
with embarrassment and Indignation. She
didn't fancy being lkened 10 those ladies
with small feet and queer faces that disport
themselves upon fans and banners. The
clerk started TO say that he could see no re-
scmblance, but the Celestial had departed
a. nolse.essly as he had come in.
The next day and the next the yellow
man in blue clothes stood silently at the
window and gazed at the pretty little girl,
who grew more and more nervous at this
dunno admiration.

package uncannily interesting. 1t was
