Writing Ones Signature.

There is something peculiar about
the way people sign their names, >
remarked Head Clerk Sims of the
Coates to reporter. No two men
do it the same-not the writing, but
the manner. Some men will come
in, pick up pen, dart off their name
and are ready for a room in a min
ute's time. Others have to see who
has been here for week past, and
do not appear to know whether they
want to register or not. There IS an
other manner of man, who, after
looking over all the pens, selects one
to his fancy and starts to write after
many false motions. He generally
signs his name in full.
This man naturally writes a small
hand" remarked Mr.. Sims, pointing
to a signature that almost required a
microscope to decipher, but a sig
nature of that kind is all the more
conspicuous. We have a travelling
man who signs his name in very
peculiar way. All the letters are OF
the same height, about half an inch,
but they are only an eighth Of an
inch in width. Every time that he
leaves we find five or six sheets OF
paper in his room covered with his
signature, where he has been prac-
ticing. kansas City Times.

When Borrowing Money.

Notes are a common means Of
borrowing money, either from finan
cial institutions or persons who have
funds to lend, and giving a note is g
simple transaction by which Dor
rover, by giving security, obtains
the use of money by paying legal in
terest. Any bank official will explain
how the bank note which is fur
nished should be filled out. 1t is
usually best, when a banks rules dc
not conflict, to see the cashier and
explain to him the standing of those
whose names appear on the note, and
then leave it to be passed upon in the
regular order of business. If you
are a customer of the bank when the
note is discounted, its sum is placed
to your credit less the interest, which
is paid in advance.
All banks expect that the sum OF
money kept on deposit by customers
will average certain amounts, the
aggregate of which is fund which
the bank handles for its profit, thus
paying the expenses of doing a bank
ing business for customers.
If you find it inconvenient to pay
a note when it falls due, make proper
explanations at the bank, asking to
have either the whole or a part OF
the note renewed. L G. Kennedy in
Ladies' Home Journal.

an everlasting sign that cannot be cut


The term 'doublet" during the
middle ages had been a generic
name for male outer clothing, the in
ner tunic being then called the waist
coat; but when for garments worn
open in front the word coat" began
to be employed ''waistcoat" and
"doublet" became used interchange
ably to denote the underdress. At
the effeminate court of Henry III
men as far as possible had copied
the Medici toilets of the ladies, and
the doublet, or closed jerkin, was re-
introduced into England during Eliz-
abeth's reign in the shape of pad
ded and pinched imitation of the
Medici bodice, and the doublet form,
belted round the waist, fastened at
the throat and finished there, wheth-
er by ruff or falling collar, held its
own, both in this country and in
France, for the next hundred years.
when unless we consider it to have
lately revived under the guise of the
Norfolk jacket it was finally CON
quered by the juste-au-corps.
Not only the bodice of the Medici
dress, but its farthingale also, in the
shape of grotesquely padded breeches,
was as far as possible pressed into
the service of masculine costume
during the latter part of the six
teenth century. and as this clumsy
fashion recommended itself particu-
larly to James l as a protection from
the assassination of which he lived
in constant dread it survived
throughout his reign, and only gave
way to a fresh importation from
France on the marriage of Charles l
with Henrietta Maria. Edinburgh
