STOPPING THE RUN.
Ingenious Way Of Saving tho Credit oi
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-
fidence 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-
tion such as might have been given
him by O census enumerator. In the
meantime, a clerk wrote his answers
down upon blank form-his age, oc-
cupation, residence, birthplace, the
names Of his parents, etc. Then he
was required to sign a 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
UC lCqull GU W ih8 oohlCbois w itSh-
tify him and to certify that he was the
person described in the paper present
ed. This took couple Of days more,
perhaps, and finally he was given a
certificate or draft upon another cash
ier who he was told, would pay him
the money. This made 1t 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 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 sub
sided from exhaustion.

An AcComm o6ating Master.

During the great strike a few years
ago among the employees Of the North
British railway much difficulty was
experienced in finding qualified engine
drivers. Upon one occasion young
fellow was put upon section in Fife.
One day he ran some distance past
a station, and upon putting back he
went as far the other way. The sta
tion master, seeing him preparing for
another attempt, to the great amuse-
ment OF the passengers on the plat
form, shouted:
"Just bide whaur ye are, Tummas.
Well shift the station!"

OF 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
it grows egg upward on a stock like the
caulifower and there re some who be-
lieve 1t grows In the ground like tur-
nip. In fact, 1t grows on a bush with
a large leaf, and is never so large as
a 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 dozen fit for the market Is a good
average.
