I,irnt Run on a Bank.

Although banking was practiced
among the Egyptians 600 years before
Christ. and among the Romans almost
in its modern form /. 800 years ago, yet,
according to Gilbart, the first run Of
which we have any account in history
Of banking occurred in the year 1867.
At that date the bankers of England
were the goldsmiths, who had short
time before begun to add banking to
their ordinary business. and had be-
come very numerous and influential In
1869 the Dutch feet sailed up the
Thames. blew up the fort ut Sheerness,
set fire to Chatham and burned some
ships of the line
This created the greatest consterna-
tion in London. especially among those
who had Entrusted their money to the
bankers. for il was known that the lat
ter had advanced large sums to the king
for public purposes. and it was rumored
that now the king would not be able 20
pay the money. To quell the panic q
royal proclamation was issued to the
effect that payments by the exciieauer
to the bankers would be made as usual.
In 1871 there was another run on the
London hanks, when Charles II shut up
the exchequer and refused to pay the
bankers either principal or interest Of
the money which they had advanced
On this occasion many Of the banks and
their customers were ruined Pitts

Mntrimony and Bunincsu In Afr,.a

The sailor who had wife iii every
port he visited has his counterpart in
the native trader of west Africa, who
has wife in every village with which
he trades. There is ono important diff
ference-Jack's wives helped to spend
his money, whereas the trader y wiyc,
help to make it. Miss Kingsley tells us
of the custom and also gives the expla-
nation.
1t would be useless for the trader to
sit ut home and wait for his customers
to come to him, because each village is
usually ut feud with all the neighboring
villages. and the inhabitants dare not
venture beyond their own district on
pain of being robbed first and eaten aft
erward. On tho other hand. it is obvi-
ously IA risky thing for the black trader
to travel from village to village with an

guileless African.

think he would be just the chap for the

went. and he cried when he said "Good-

that when he said "Goodby" to him he
