STOPPING THE RUN.

Spanish Banks.

Ingenious Way Of Saving tho Credit oi
Spanish Banks.
A man who recently left Lisbon tells
an interesting story Of the manner IN
which the Bank of Spain checked the
run upon that institution several weeks
ago. The circulating medium OF spain
consists OF the notes Of that bank ana
the silver which is held to redeem them
to rs per cent, believe, OF their par
value. AS the public were losing con-
fdence In the financial stability OF the
government, crowds Of people took
their paper notes to the bank for re-
demption. Under ordinary circum'
stances, they will exchange silver for
paper note without any delay, but when
the run commenced the managers
found it necessary to adopt some meas
ures to restore confidence and to save
the specie in their own vaults. 1t would
not do, of course, for them to show the
white feather or refuse to redeem their
own notes, so they adopted an ingeni-
GUS plan which ultimately tired out the
people and stopped the demand for
coin. Thousands Of people surrounded
the bank-many Of them were IN bad
temper-and stood In lines several
blocks long awaiting their turn at the
cashiers counter. When one OF them
finally reached him and laid down the
note he wished to exchange for silver
coin, he was held for five or ten min
utes and subjected to a cross-examina-
ton such as might have been given
him by a census enumerator. In the
meantime. clerk wrote his answers
down upon a blank form-his age, oc-
cupation, residence, birthplace, the
names of his parents, etc. Then he
was required to sign formal applica-
tion for the exchange Of twenty pesetas,
for example, in paper, for their equiva-
lent in silver. Then he was sent away
and told to return in three days.
On the third day the man would re-
turn and. after standing in line again
all day and all night, perhaps, would
reach the cashiers counter He would
be required to bring somebody tt iden-
tify him and to certify that he was the
person described in the paper present
ed. This took a couple Of days more.
perhaps, and finally he was given
certificate or draft upon another CASH
Ter, who, he was told, would pay him
the money. This made It necessary for
him to stand in another line for day
or two, and when he finally reached
the proper place he would be required
to sign a receipt and make an oath Of
allegiance to the government and an
Endorsement of the financial soundness
of the bank. Thus by this circum-
locution arrangement a man had to
waste seven or eight days to get pa.
per dollar changed into silver, and the
transaction was so tedious and compli-
Gated that each consumed fifteen or
twenty minutes. AS there was only
one cashier not more than forty or fifty
persons at the utmost could be served
In a day, and the clamor finally SUBJ
sided from exhaustion.

A NATIVE FILTER.
Err Plants Hard to Grow.

or all the vegetables which come
into the summer market the most diff
cult to raise is the egg plant, and for
this reason few truckers care to take
the trouble with them. Few people in
the city really know how an egg plant
grows. The general impression is that
1t grows egg upward on a stock like the
cauliflower and there are some who be-
lieve it grows in the ground like a tur-
nip. In fact, II grows on a bush with
a large leaf, and is never so large as
q tomato vine. The plants, must be
raised In a hotbed and set out in May
and require more than ordinary care
A slight rain will sometimes cause all
the eggs to rot and occasionally. they
rot without any rain. One egg In half

A Forest Of Beautiful Flowers That No

NJ. Serge Belaguine, O Russian exs
plorer Of Brazil, states In an interview
recently published In The Gaulois that
a few degrees below the equator he dis.
covered forest OF flowers that pre-
vented him from approaching them.
With every Difference to Mr.. Belaguine,
that forest seems. to- have been discov-
cred before, says Golfers Weekly. Two
years ago there appeared in San
Francisco paper an account provided
by q bulb hunter returning from the
came region, who declared that after
noticing in forest an oder, vague and
sweet at first. but which increased as
be advanced. ultimately he reached =

was q wilderness Of orchids. Trees
were loaded with them, underbrush
was covered with them, they trailed on
the ground, mounted In beckoning con-
tortions, dangled from branches, fen in
sheets, and elongated and expanded as
far as the eye could reach. A breeze
passed and they swayed with it,. NOV,
Ing with life Of their, own. dancing In
tho glare Of the equatorial sun. and as
they danced exhaling an odor that pro-
tected them more sheerly than q wall.
In vain did that hunter endeavor to ap-
proach. There was veil Of perfumed
chloroform through which he could see.
but through which. try as he might. he
could not pass. 1t held him back more
effectually than bayonets, and 1t was
torture to him to see those fawers and
to feel that before he could reach them
he must die. suffocated by the very
splendors Of which he was in search,
poisoned by floral jewels such as no
one perhaps had seem before. At the
time the place was known as the vii
lage Of demon flowers.

Manitoban Cure for Drunkenness

ManitOban Cure for Drunkenness.
"They have very effective way Of
putting the brakes on inebriates up In
Manitoba" said Mr.. o. A. Bemis Of
Minnesota at the Ebbitt.
when a man has been convicted
twice or thrice for drunkenness In the
local police courts, he Is sentenced to
wear brass collar, which is a plain
tip to saloon-keepers that he is per-
son to whom 1t 10 forbidden to sell
any intoxicating beverages. No man
with this badge OF disgrace can get a
drink anywhere, for the law Is strict
ly respected. The result is that in
many cases an entire cure Is effected
in the individual. Whenever the au-
thorities think that the collar penalty
has been endured long enough the COL
lar comes off and the citizen Is at lib
erty to get a drink"
