When Money Was Hidden.

1t must have been difficult in the mid
die ages for man of limited means to
take care OF his savings. There were, it
Is true, the Lombard and Genoese bankers.
VINO dealt with princes, mobiles, bishops
and the abbots of the greater monasteries,

the name OF Alexander VII, but of what
service were these great luxury loving peo-
pie to the peddler, the yeoman or the small
shopkeeper, whose gains came not in by
pounds, angels Sr marks, but in penny
driblets, with perhaps an odd groat Of
profit on very successful venture? How
was their money stored?
In some oases we suspect that the church
wardens took care of it in the parish chest,
though if put to the proof of what we say
we should not, be very ready with an an
swer, but it is quite certain that as years
rolled on and guilds sprang up in every
village, they acted as bankers for the guild
men. But there must have been many
persons who belonged to no guild, some
because they We're of loose life and such
as no guild would enroll, others because
they were not on good terms with the al
dermen or because they were landless folk
who had no settled place of abode. 1t was
dangerous to carry specie on the person in
those days.
Z There were many Robin Hoods abroad,
who had no scruples as to robbing the poor
as well as the rich. To the weak the only
course that was open, if they could not
deposit their coin in the hands of some
trustworthy neighbor, was to bury it in
the earth. This is the explanation of the
numerous hoArds Of coin which have turn
ed up from time to time from the thir
teenth century to the present day.-Ath-

Ira #. Clark & Co.'S Opening.

Ira F. Clark & Co.'s new store was a blaze
of light last evening, when it was thrown
open to the inspection of the public. Large
bouquets of fragrant flowers ornamented
the counters. magnificent stock of goods
was displayed, and Chambers orchestra
located in the rear of the store, discoursed
their choicest music for two hours
Thousands of people must have visited the
store during the evening, and there was No
providing or interruption to the steady flow
of people, for members of the police force
were stationed at salient points, and the
clerks at others. All expressed themselves
delighted with the store, "

Glasses of British Colonies,

The British colonies are of three classes:
Crown colonies, controlled directly by the
home government; colonies having repre-
sentative institutions, the crown retaining
the veto power and the control of public
officers, and semi-independent colonies that
govern themselves, though the crown ap-
points a governor and retains a veto on
legislation.

MILWAUKEE. Wis, Dec. II - Mil
waukee labor unions have begun work
on a new line. Not content with organ
ixIng all the trades into unions, they
now propose 70 build up ward and pre-
cinct unions composed Of all classes Of
skilled and unskilled laborers, mer-
chants, professional men and others.
In short, they mean to use the word
s.7orkingmen" in its broadest sense
They hope in this-way to put down
class prejudices and put the locomotive
engineer on "a fraternal footing with the
sewer digger. the school teacher and the
grocer's clerk at least once or twice a
month. These ward and precinct clubs
are expected to educate the masses of
the working people who are not now
reached by the trades unions in the prin-
ciples Of popular government as the
unions understand them. Particularly is
it hoped that these clubs will promote
independent voting i'm city elections A

gin organizing clubs about January 10.
