Perfume. Were PopuIar.

The rage for perfumes reached its
height during the reign of Louis XIV.
Throughout the continent his court was
known as the scented court" 1t was
then the custom when giving n large
entertainment for the hostess to inform
her guests what particular odor she
would use for perfuming her rooms,
and each guest would use that odor in
making her toilet. At court n different
perfume was used for each day of the
week. Much more attention was paid
to the use of the perfume than to soap
and water, and cleanliness was not
numbered among the virtues of that
age.

An Enr1Ish country nank.

Rural customers attach great i'm
portance to the banks outward ap-
pearance. \ thrifty tradesman having
opened n deposit account with bank
distant some 80 miles from his home,
the cashier had the curiosity to ask
why he Travelled so far when there was
branch of the same bank almost at
his door. The depositor smiled know
ingly and replied, Il lodged opposite
here all the time while this bank was
being built, so know it's safe" Bal
ance sheets to the rustic are n mean
ingless and arbitrary arrangement OF
figures. Iron bars he understands.
In a northern city there is n bank
widely known for the artistic merit of
its doors. Designed by an eminent
sculptor, they are executed in relief
in copper or bronze and appear to rep
resent tableaux from -Esop's Fables"
and Greek history. About n week aft
or they were unveiled an old man who
had been n depositor for many years
withdrew his balance and took it to 4
rival bank almost opposite. Question
ed as to his reason for changing, he
replied: 81 don't hold WI them doors of
theirs. Punched tin amt businesslike,
and it amt safe."-Longman's

mo, thanks" said the sad faced niAh
when he was asked to join coEvival
party. "The fact is, 1 don't drink.
Found couldn't afford it. so ] swore
off. A number of years ago lived in
the west. 1 was doing well. and 1 had
bank account that / was proud Of.
Seeing chance to double my money, 1
decided to draw it out. The day was a
warm one, and, becoming thirsty, 1
stopped to take n glass of something
cool. I didn't waste more than five
minutes and was soon in line at the
paying telIer's window. The party
ahead of me received his money, and 1
was showing my check through the
window when the teller pulled it down
and announced that the bank has sus-
pended payment. 1 believe that the
receiver declared a dividend a year or
so later, but the amount was so small
that never bothered TO collect mine.
1t was a pretty expensive drink for
me-"

1t tells its own tale:
"Mr. Charles Dickens is much obliged

superstitIons About sneening.

Xenophon, Promotheus. Themistocles
and Cicero regarded n sneeze as a IA
vOrable omen. Among the Hindoos and
Persians. however, sneezing and yawn-
ing were ascribed to demoniacal pos

and finger and repeats the name of one

and mutters this prayer. II seek refuge
with Allah from ss.an, the accursed."
