STOPPING TIE RUN.
Ingenious Way of Saving the Credit o'
Spanish Banks.

Spanish Banks.
A man who recently left Lisbon tells
an interesting story of the manner III
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 cross-cXamina-
,nl, trlot no u
him by a 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 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 to iden-
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
Ter, who, he was told, would pay him
the money This made it necessary for
him to stand in another line for q 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.

Eur Plants Haru to Grow.

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 thea. Few people in
the city really know how an egg plant
grows. The general impression is that
it grows egg upward on stock like the
caulifower and there are some who be-
lieve it grows in the ground like tur-
nip. In fact, it grows on a bush with
. large leaf, and is never so large as
a tomato-vnc. The plants must be
raised in 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 rait. One egg in half
a. dozen fit for the market Is q good

BEAUTIFUL DEADLY ORCHIDS
A Forest of Beautiful Flowers That No
One Can Approach.

A Forest of Beautiful Flowers That No
One Can Approach.
M. Serge Belaguine, a Russian ex-
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 a San
Francisco paper an account provided
by bulb hunter returning from the
same region, who declared that after
noticing in forest an odor, vague and
sweet at first, but which increased as
he advanced, ultimately he reached
clearing, and there, straight ahead,
was a wilderness of orchids. Trees
were loaded with them, underbrush
was covered with them, theM{raiied on
the ground, mounted In beckohing con"
tortions, dangled from branches, fell in
sheets, and elongated and expanded as
far as the eye could reach. breeze
passed and they swayed with it, NOV
ing with life of their own, dancing in
the glare Of the equatorial sun, and as
they danced exhaling an odor that pro-
tected them more sheerly than a 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 it was
torture to him to see those flowers 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 seen before. At the
time the place was known as the vii
lage of demon flowers.

An Accommodating 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 a 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"
ton master, seeing him preparing for
another attempt, to the great amuse-
ment Of the passengers on the plat
form, shouted:

"They have a 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 a brass collar, which is a plain
tip to saloon-keepers that he is a per-
son to whom it is forbidden to sell
any intoxicating beverages. No man
with this badge Of disgrace can get
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"
