. Great Number of Men Were Necessary
to Conduct Its Work.


As for the vast numbers actually
example of St Paul's Cathedral of
course the largest foundation in tho
city. will furnish an illustration. In
the year 1880 the society. the cathed-
raj body. included the following: the
bishop. the dean. the four archdea-
cons the treasurer the precentor. the
chancellor thirty greater canons,
twelve lesser csnons. about fifty chap
lains, or chantry priests. and thirty
Wears. OF inferior rank to these were
the sacrist and three vergers the sue
centor. the master of the singing
school, the master OF the grammar
school, the almoner and his
four vergers the servitors the
surveyor, the twelve scribes. the
book transcriber. the bookbinder
The chamberlain. the reut-colIecsor.
he baker. the brewer-the brewer
who brewed in the year 1886. 67,sl4
gallons, must have employed good
many; the baker, who ovened every
year 40, 900 loaves or every
lay more than hundred. large
and small employed a good
many more-the servants of all these
oficers-the singing-men and choir
boys, of whom priests were made the
oedesmen and poor folk, the sections.
grave-diggers. gardeners. bell-ringers.
makers and members of the ecclesias-
iical robes. cleaners and sweeperS
carpenters, masons. painters. carvers
Ind gilders-one can very well under
stand that the Church OF St Paurs
alone must have found livelihood for
thousands.
The same equipment was necessary
N every other religious foundation.
Not a monastery but had its greater
and lesser officers and their servants.
In every one there were the bell-ring-
ars. the singing men and boys. the
Fergers, the gsrdenera the brewers.
bakers. cooks, messengers, scribes,
rent collectors. and all complete as
was St Paul's though on smaller
scale 1t does not seem too much to
estimate the ecclesiastical establish
nents OF London as including a fourth
part OF the whole population of the
city. -Harper's Magazine

pocket check books to women. Wise
women ask for the regular size. 1t
saves trouble in keeping an account
and it tmpresses the cashier
Before making first deposit she
should count bills and specie and enter
the amounts separately on the deposit
slip. If checks are to be deposited the
amount OF each should be entered
separately below the entries of bills
and specie.
The Endorsement of checks is wo-
mans stumbling block. II a check is
to be deposited which is payable to
you, your signature on the back is all
that is necessary, but if you are send
ing it to the bank by a messenger. or
if you are indorsing it at home before
starting, it is well to place over your
own name the words: FOR deposit. y
Then, if it is lost, "A stranger will have
trouble in cashing it.
II the check is payable to somebody
else, as to Mary Smith, for example
Mary Smith must indorse it before she
can turn it over to you. If your name
is Ellen Jones, have Mary Smith, who
may be paying you for board or Tor
HdhlIB q uTeSs, DLdCe dDONe ler name
the words: Pay to the order OF Ellen
Jones. Then If you lose it the finder
cannot cash it without your indorse-
ment. When you deposit check of
this sort place your own name on the
back below that of May Smith.
When your deposit is ready. hand it,
with the pass book. to the receiving
teller, and examine the book when il
is returned to you to see that his entry
corresponds with the amount you have
given him.
1t is a good idea to fill out two de
posit slips, one for the receiving teller
and duplicate slip for personal
memorandum. On this duplicate slip
it is plan otter followed TO place the
name of the person who signed any
check included in it. as well as the
date and amount. This will be useful
If at any time check you have re-
ceived proves worthless.

How Dogs Are Stolen in p,r,..


Dog stealers in Paris have two prin-
cipal means of getting hold of the ami
NAL they want. First, of all they find
out the dogs habits, the liberty he is al
lowed, the hours that he takes an airing
either alone or with servant, and make
their arrangements accordingly. They
sometimes prowl around house for a
week before obtaining all the informa-
ton they need. When they learn where
they can meet the animal, they attract
him by some sort of bait. OF make him
follow bitch, which they lead with a
string.
In narrow street it is easy to approach
the dog and pat him. If he is not very
savage, the offer of something to eat rem
ders him confiding; the thief, who has a
slipnoose ready. passes it around the
dogs neck, and the game is bagged. On
the bouleyards and in the public parks.
where dogs usually follow their masters
er mistresses without being held by a
cord, the thieves always use a second
animal, and as soon as the dog comes
aear enough to the decoy brute the lasso
is thrown and the gallant captured

How to Pack a Trunk.

To pack trunk properly requires a
plan. If one is going on trip and pro-
poses to live in the trunk, so to speak,
then the plan should be made with refer
ence to easily getting at those things
most frequently in demand. If, how
ever, the trunk is packed merely to move
clothing from one place to another,
where the trunk will be unpacked, then
the plan should call for folding of all
garments in as large folds as the size of
the trunk admits Of AS each layer is
made all the spaces at the sides and ends
and in the corners should be filed with
small articles. 1t is bad plan to put in
lot of garments one on top of the other
and then when the pile has reached the
top of the trunk try to fill in these va
cant places. Besides mussing things up
You will lose valuable space by such a
method. The proper way is to build
layer on top of layer, making each one
complete as you go along. The result
will be that you can get a great deal
more in a trunk, and the compactness of
packing prevents the clothing from get
ting creased and mussed 1t is said that
no woman ever thoroughly mastered the
art of trunk packing.

when Men Wore Earrinps.

Among civilized nations the wearing
of earrings by men has been by no meaus
uncommon, as it has been shown that in
early English days some of the most dis
tinguished courtiers bedecked their ears
with very costly specimens. The i'm
mortal Shakespeare is said to have worn
them, and Charles is reputed to have
been the owner of a magnificent pair of
pearl earrings, which he bequeathed to
his daughter the day before he was exc
cuted.
In the South Sea islands the females
and males alike adopt this style of per-
sonal adornment, and even in the wilds
of Africa they are worn by the Untutored
savages of both sexes.
At the present day the only civilized
persons of the male sex who ornament
their ears IN this manner are the gypsies,
the Italians, the French, a few sailors of
other foreign nations, and occasionally
a German, but as master of course
precious few females the world over will
be found without them.-Detroit Free
Press.
