Treasury officials are especially
gratif1ed at the success Of the popular
subscription feature of the loan, ana
stated that while the schedules of the
bidder undoubtedly will show large
percentage of banks and monied inst1-
tutions, it is indisputably true that In
very many cases and possible IN a
majority of them the banks act as the
agents of private individuals who are
the real purchasers. This is shown to
be true by an instance cited at the
time of the last subscription issue. A
New York firm bid in $1,O00,000 Of the
bonds and the treasury officials took
sufficient interest in the matter to fol-
low them to their final destinations
1t was found that the firm acted for
four large interior banks and each of
them in turn acted in part for a num-
Der of country banks and they for
individual customers, so that the bonds
were finally distributed among several
hundred private parties. This will be
the result, it is believed in very
large number of cases of bids for the
present issue. It is also believed that
the certainty that no bid can be ac-
cepted at a rate lower than 110.6S77
will have the effect Of releasing large
quantities of gold which have been
accumulated by unsuccessful bidders.

AN INTERESTING EPISODE.

Being Sensible Girls, Not Jealous of Each
Other. They Are still friends.
From the Roxbury Gazette.
They had only met that afternoon,
he and she, but their pleasure seemed
mutual So when the party, which
numbered half dozen, started off for
the train he went along to see them
off. She had another girl friend, who
walked with them. Now, the train was
late and waiting in a depot is not very
exciting even in the most congenial
company. So the party adjourned to
the opposite side of the track, which is
bordered by fence.
In girlish giddiness she determined
to sit on the fence to watch the train
come in. The young lady friend who
was standing at her right tried to dis
suade her, but in vain. She would sit
on the fence and she did so. OF course
the young man had to hold her on, but
as she wore a cape this wasn't no.
ticed by the rest of the group.
Now, no sooner had his arm been
placed through hers than he felt his
hand gripped tightly by a soft little
hand in a manner which sent a thrill
through his manly frame. He was
surprised, but he didn't object-quite
the contrary. He also did some squeez-
ing on his own account, at every little
quip or jest, which were being passed
around profusely, getting in an extra
pressure.
And it went on until the train came
in sight. Then in order to arrange her
hat and do II most conveniently she
threw back her cape and loi she saw
the hand of her friend of the afternoon
clasped tightly in that of her aston
ished girl chum.
Which was the most surprised of the
trio would be hard to tell-the fellow
who had his hand squeezed by the
wrong girl, the girl who did not have
her hand squeezed or the girl who did
the squeezing, thinking that II was her
chums hand.

JEALOUS ROMANS.
They Seek to Hide Some Parts of the
Eternal City From the Vulgar Gaze.

They Seek to Hide Some Parts of the
Eternal City From the Vulgar Gaze.
From the Century.
1t seems to be a part of the real SIM
plicity of the Italian Latin to put on a
quite useless look of mystery on all
occasions, and to assume the air of a
conspirator when buying a cabbage;
and more than one great foreign writer
has fallen into the error of believing
the Italian character to be profoundly
complicated. One is apt to forget that
1T needs much deeper duplicity to
maintain an appearance of frankness
under trying circumstances than to
make a mystery of ones marketing
and a profound secret of ones cookery.
There are few things which the poor
Italian more dislikes than to be watch
ed when he is buying and preparing
his food, though he will ask anyone to
share it with him when it is ready;
but he is almost as prone to hide ev-
erything else that goes on inside his
house, unless he has fair warning of
visit and full time to prepare himself
for 1t.
This is perhaps not entirely a race
popularity, but rather a survival of
medieval life as IL was all over Eu-
rope. There are pretty clear indica-
tons in our own literature that the la
dies and gentlemen of 200 or 300 years
ago did not like to be caught unpre-
pared by inquisitive visitors. The silks
and satins in which they are portray
ed would not have lasted a lifetime, as
they did, IL they had been worn every
day. AS for the cleanliness of those
times, the less said about IL the better
In Rome there was a long period
during which not a single aqueduct
was in working order, and 1t was a
trade to clear a supply of water out of
the Tiber from a portion of the yellow
mud by letting it settle in reservoirs,
and to sell IL in the streets for all
household purposes. Who washed in
those days? 1t is safer to ask the
question now than 1t would have been
then. Probably those persons washed
who were the fortunate owners of a
house well or rain water cistern, and
those who had neither did not. Per-
haps that was very much the same all
over Europe. 1t is certainly to the
credit of Trastevere that 1t is not a
dirty place to-day, by Italian stand
ards.
