anecdote III Mr.. Doran's book on liable
Traits bears witness to the justice Of
their reputation:
A member of the sisterhood in Bris-

England note and wished to exchange
it for gold, which was then at high
premium. Accordingly she entered a
bank and made known her request, to be
met with instant refusal.
The quick witted woman, without
exhibiting any disappointment. there
upon asked the cashier to let her have
ten of the banks 81 notes in exchange
for her Bank of Highlander The ex-

People Were Allowed to Look.

The late Lord Bath was one of the
first territorial magnates in the south Of
England to throw open his country seat
to the public. Visitors have been for
many years past free to walk where
they please about Longleat park-which
is extremely beautiful and 10 miles in
circumference-and to inspect the gar
dens and grounds, while boats are pro-
vided for them on the large lake, which
Is notable feature in the domain. The
interesting house, with its pictures, Ii
brary and art treasures of every descrip-
ton, has also been open to thousands Of
visitors every year
Longleat was built during the reign
of Elizabeth, and the house LIS never
been much altered in appearance, al
though all kinds of improvements have
been carried out. The late Lord Bath
built the stables, which are very fine.
One prominent feature i'll the park is a
wooded hill which, from the magnificent
prospect which it commands, is known
as Heavens gate. The Bath estates in
Somersetshire and Wiltshire were in
very bad order when the late owner sue
ceeded his father in 1887, but they are
now in perfect condition i'll all respects,
and there is not single vacant farm. -

A Story of Ed Pardridge.

Shortly after the Chicago board of trade
put the stamp of disapproval ON put"
and "call" trading "A club which wished to
trade in tho1e privileges was formed and a
room rented in an adjacent alley. The
dues assessed were SO head per month
All of the late Ed Pardridgc's brokers'
nearly a dozen in number, were provided
with tickets but Partridge failed to secure
one. On his way home one afternoon he
strolled over to the place, intent on giving
broker an order, but was denied admis-
sion by the dOCrkCcpcr The fact that he
had been turned down" at the rate of So
month so amused him that he began
scattering silver dollars among the tele-
graph messenger boys who were carrying
the dispatches to and from the place. His
silver soon gave out, but his entire force of
brokers was sent posthaste TO buy up all
the silver and small change in every saloon
and place of business in the vicinity. The
supply Of silver was soon on hand, and the
shower of silver commenced. No messen.
ger boys were available to deliver orders,
the members poured out of the put and call
room to watch the scramble, and business
in the "puts' and "calls" for that day
was broken up. Ii cost Partridge $500
and would have cost more If there had
been any more silver in the neighborhood

German Thinkers.

Other European nations will find II
hard to bring their schools OF philoso-
pby to the level reached by the German
thinkers. The contemplative turn OF the
Teutonic mind, the quiet habits OF the
national life, the very climate, all tend
to develop that leisurely mode OF
thought which is part of the north Ger
man character and one Of the greatest
enjoyments known to its possessors. The
French mind, quick as it is, and fasci-
mating and prompt at grasping an idea
is too volatile, generally speaking, TO the
profoundly philosophic. But the Ger
man. who carries his native simplicity
and good nature everywhere, even into
the most elevated questions, allows him
self to feel and think and grow poetic
over everything. ERNEST Remains Let

Double Ouics.

An ancient resident of Willowby,
whose conduct in one of the battles OF
tho civil war had brought him under
suspicion of cowardice, was naturally
indisposed to admit that he had played
any but manly part.
II didn't run away and stay till

treating, if ever there was one, and ac-

treated.
