ETIQUETTE AT THE BANKS.
boston People Make tho Life OF the
Teller an Easy One.


It would seem that most of the men,
bers of the large business concerns OF
our proud city understand to a degree
the term bank etiquette" as though
they had basked in it's element life
time and had been taught from child
hood to understand it's legitimate mean
ing. They arrange their deposits with
method the most satisfactory imagin-
able to the bank clerk, a delight to be-
hold. This regularity, while it dis
tinctly shows the training of thor
ough business man, is attended with
little or no effort on their part, but it
means to the bank clerks the saving
OF an infinite amount of hard, trying
labor This method consists of placing
all the bills, clean or ragged, of the
larger denominations together on tho
top of whatever size package they chose
to make, keeping the one and two dol
lar bills strictly to the bottom. Thus
the clerk can, with little difficulty make
rapid Roadway through his arduous
work, for he knows what he is facing.
These deposits are meat to the eyes Of
the tellers on ordinary days, but more
especially SO on heavy days, when they
have all they can do to finish up by six
o'clock.
1t is interesting to note the marvellous
rapidity with which an expert goes
through the bills, counting, sorting,
strengthening and proving, all at the
same time. You observe that oftentimes
he abruptly throws out certain bill
across the desk, far apart from the rest,
with a "There!" most strongly en-
phasized, and Immediately spurs up to
resume his usual place, not the least
disconnected. The uninitiated is struck
mute by the sudden exclamation, starts
nervously and stares blanltly at the man
whom he supposes to have been bitten
by an invisible scorpion or reptile.
Closer scrutiny proves this particular
bill to be a counterfeit, though 1t has
taken the outsider fully Is minutes
to distinguish between it and the genu-
inc bill, much to the disgust of the ex-
pert, who, at single glance, detected
1t, going as he was at the rate Of mile
a minute, and discarded it as quickly
as though It burned him.-Boston Tran
script.

/ spent about two hours In covering
one mile, and then 1 seated myself on the
ground, faint and exhausted. i was in
this position when q fine-looking deer
rushed past me, as if pursued by hounds.
Even in my agony followed the crea-
ture with my eyes until out of sight,
thinking what q splendid shot he would
have made for me.
But the deer was no sooner out of
sight than another followed from the
same direction, fleeing rapidly through
the woods. 1 expected next to see q
hunter, or hear the baying of hounds.
But instead of that small brown bear
came stumbling along, following after
the deer.
Suddenly I shifted the air. Smoke!
Overhead, between the interstices of my
leafy dome, 1 caught sight Of dense
smoke and burnt leaves. The forest was
on fire!
How stupid had been! The animals
were all running for the nearest water

miles distant. Jumped to my feet, and
started to follow the intelligent brutes

lake in time to avoid the fire.

wished then that the bear had killed me
in the struggle for supremacy.
Then a thought occurred to me. 1t
was an inspiration that came none TO
soon. If 1t had come two minutes later
oil would have been lost.
Crashing through the underbrush
was a wild bull moose. It's path lay
close to me, and my presence had no
disturbing influence upon the fright
ened animal. 1t came along at brcck-
neck speed, and threatened to tran,ple
me to death if I did not move. The
noble beast swayed it's great head from
side to side as it pulled and painted
along like a giant Of the forest. Icould
but admire the appearance of the crea-
ture even in the moment of danger.
I crouched down in the bushes and
waited for the animal to reach my side.
1t swept within foot of me, lumber
ing along like an old schooner at sea,
clumsy, yet powerful and heavy. When
abreast of me, used all my strength
to spring toward the huge antlers.
I caught them with my hands close to
the head, and then with a sudden pow
erful lurch I drew my whole body upon
the back Of the moose.
For an instant the animal appeared
more frightened at my presence than
at the fire, and it swung its heavy head

BUREAU UNDER THE GAMsREL.
How One W oman Solved the Problem of
an Ugly Space.

A practical young matron recently
found herself confronted in the evolu-
ton of her country home by the ugly
slant in the bedroom walls made by
gambrel roof. The bedroom had no lath
or plaster on the walls-simply rafters
and apboards-and to place bureau,
or, indeed, any piece of furniture
against this inclined plane Of ugliness
was to make an awkward effect at once.
Calling upon a carpenter, she ordered
him to put in bureau drawers across the
whole side of the room under the gam
brel, carrying them up to about half
the distance between floor and ceiling.
The lowest drawers were, of course, very
deep, extending far in under the caves;
they were delightful depths, in which
you could lay the skirt of dress, folded
once. Each drawer above decreased
gradually in size until the last were
small receptacles for hand1erchiefs and
gloves-the little things which make a
"glory hole" Of the most top drawers.
A ten-inch shelf, neatly beveled along
the edge and made prettily neat with
frilled muslin covers afforded more
space than is usual for the necessary
toilet, silver, cut glass bottles and pow
der box. The one broad window on that
side Of the room, with a Grecian lat
ticed easement, looking out upon tho
water, Immediately became a fascinat-
ing window recess by reason of the
building out of these deep bureau
drawers. With an upholstered platform
seat and pillows it is haven not only of
rest, but a thing of picturesque effect.
To cover the floor with white mat
ting and a couple of blue and white,
Japanese rugs; to give the whole room
Including the high-post single bed,
turned out for seven dollars at the plan
ing milD coat of blue paint; to hang
blue and white japanese drapery at the
windows and as valances round the bed
and washstand; to cover the bedroom
screen and frill the little chair pillows
with this same cool, washable material,
which retails for a song-all this was to
give the freshest, most summer-like as
pect to a room whose decorative posi-
bilities at one time seemed well-nigh
hoDcless.-N Y Tribune

MAKlNa UP MUSLIN SKIRTS.
Two Convenient WAYS OF Putting In the
Lining or Foundation.


Lining or Foundation.
There are two ways of making up
che skirt Of a muslin gown, and each
Is equally correct Either the MUSLIN
may be made up as separate over
skirt, and this is probably the more sat
isfactory fashion, or II may be tackled to
the silken underskirt and laid with it
into each of the seams. This plan, how
ever, it will readily be seen, is not quite
80 convenient for a washing muslin,
but II batiste or some biscuit-colorsd
grass lawn be chosen then 1t may be
made up with the foundation, con-
dition of affairs which naturally leaves
no risk Of the muslin stretching.
II the two skirts are made up sepa-
rutely the underskirt must be stiffened
about ten inches up az the foot in front,
and at the back the stiffening must b
carried right into the waist. 1t is un-
desirable to add greatly to the weight
for summer wear, and in this case the
underskirt need not necessarily be lined
all the way up. The stiff lining-and II
1t Is not to be covered, tailors' canvas
In white is the best fabric to use-could
be stitched to the silk upon the front
and sides, while it would be let into
the seams of the back widths, which are
well gored to remove all superfuous
fullness at the waist and to allow Of
the whole of the three back widths be-
ing arranged into two small box plaits
at the waist. The underskirt must be
mounted upon it's belt, and the muslin
skirt can be gathered and tackled on
to it, a ribbon band concealing the head
of the gathers; this band can be re-
moved in few moments when the skirt
requires to be cleaned.
Another plan for mounting the mus
lin skirt in permanent band is to make
it up in a binding of inch-wide ribbon,
which can be tackled upon the under
skirt belt to keep it in place. In any
case both skirts must reach the band
stage before they are turned up at the
foot, as to do this perfectly it is most
essential that the thin skirt should be
hung over its properly finished under
skirt, for the purpose of turning it up
correctly, and everyone knows how inn
portant it is to turn up the ordinary
skirt on the figure, or well-hung skirt
will never be achieved.
Before wearing this dress, after the
muslin frills are arranged, a slight tack
ing under the top one will prevent their
weight from drawing such light fabric
out of condition. An insertion Of val
encicnnes lace surmounts the frills, and
frill of it is placed at the edge of each
muslin founce. The muslin frills are
cut upon the cross and hemmed at the
lower edge before the lace is added,
while they are whipped at the top and
drawn up with very slight fullness.
Black and lemon valenciennes lace are
used impartially upon muslin; perhaps
the former is little smarter, and with
book muslin the effect of it is really
excellent.-San Francisco Chronicle.
