Honesty the Best Policy.

Not long ago an bonest merchant
was negotiating with an insurance
company with regard to efecting an
insurance on a vessel overdue.
Before the policy was delivered, the
merchant heard Of the vessels loss,
and wrote at once to the insurance
company, thus:
"sir: If yon have not yet made out
the policy yen need not, for ! have
heard of the ship"
"Oh !" said the manager, who dis
covered that the policy had not been
signed, but Immediately proceeded TO
have IT executed and sent of, "the fel-
low wants to do us out Of the premi-
um."
So he wrote to the merchant
"You are too late by half an hour.
Your policy has been posted to you.
When the claim was made the COM
pany had to pay, as to have refused
would have brought out the real facts.

The biggest price for painting was
that paid for Meissoner's "lSl4." II.
Chanard gave $4,000 for it.
The most costly building Of modern
times is that Of the New York State
Capitol at Albany. N. Y. Nineteen
million and SIX hundred thousand dol
lars have been spent On it.
In 1892 /. Malcolm Forbes paid
$4,000 10 Senator Stanford for the
horse Arion. making it the most val
liable equine the world has ever known.
The most valuable book in the world
Is Hebrew Bible now In the Vatican.

it for its weight in gold, which would
amount to about sos. 600. The Elm

Nizam Of Hyderabad offered 81,
600. the largest price ever known, for
this diamond. The costliest meal ever
served was supper given by Felius
verus to dozen guests. It is said to
have cost $242, 500.

Greetings.

The Arabians shake hands SIX or
eight times. Once is not enough. II,
however, they be persons Of diStinc-
tion, they embrace and kiss one an
other several times, and also kiss their
own hands. In Turkey the salute is
to place the hand upon the breast and
bow, which is both graceful and APP
propriate.
In Burma when man meets wo-
man he puts his nose and bis mouth
close to her cheek and draws long
breath, as if inbaling a delicious per-
fume. He does not kiss her cheek,
strange to cay. A man is greeted in
exactly the same way.
In the greater part Of Germany it
is considered an act Of politeness, not
Of gallantry, for man TO kiss wo-
mans hand. In Italy that privilege
is allowed only 10 near relatives. while
in Russia it is extended to kissing the
forehead.
The men Of continental Europe have
a custom that would seem queer, not
to say laughsble, here. They greet
one another with kiss. If they be
friends, not on the cheek, but night on
the lips.

frame.
