WHY THE vERMoNTER DIDN'T PRESENT
HIS CHECKS AT THE BANK.

"Ths last time was NORTH" said a
New Orleans banker the other day to
Times Democrat reporter, NJ heard
Kipling story which don't think has
ever been in print. It was told me by a
gentleman who used to have place 10
Vermont, not far from Kipling's old
summer home, and who 10 at present as
sistant cashier In one Of the big New
York banks. He said that during the
last year Of Kipling's residence In Yer
mont be became alarmed at the growing
expenses of the establishment, and de-
cided to keep strict eye on the output.
Accordingly he opened an account at
bank In nearby town. forget now
which-snd paid all the household bills
with personal checks. Many OF them
were very small, ranging In amount
from fifty cents to IS, and the shrewd
Yankee storekeepers Of the neighbor-
hood soon discovered that they could
get more for them from autograph fiends
than they could from the paying teller.
That was practically the case when they
attached a duplicate memorandum of the
account. For example, a bill against
Mr.. Kipling for five pounds OF cheese,
accompanied by an autograph check for
81. as, was souvenir that commanded a
fancy price. The consequence was that
number of the checks never found their
way to the bank, and the author was
greatly perplexed. He would send In
his book once month to be balanced,
and 1t would invariably come back
showing more to his credit than was In
dictated by the stubs. Kipling was un-
able to account for the discrepancy and
attributed 1t to his bad head for figures
until one day, when visiting Boston, he
ran across small check given for case
of bottled beer framed and hanging In
the study of collector. That exposed
the nefarious traffic, and the creator Of
"Mulavney" was speeches. with wrath
and indignation. The first thing he did
when he got home was to burn his check
book, and after that he insisted on pay
ing all his bills In the coin Of the realm.
My friend remarked Incidentally" added
the banker, "that 1t was no unusual
thing for the checks of famous people to
be withheld from presentation and re-
tanned as souvenirs. He said that was
the case with nearly all the small checks
written by Gen. Grant during the time
he lived in New York. 1t Is really a
business proposition. II the autograph
Of celebrity is difficult to obtain, the
dealers In such things will be sure to
hold 1t at least "a or IS, so when his
check Is for less than that amount it
would be waste of money to present 1t
at the bank. If Queen Victoria were to
send me her personal check for f5 do
you think would get 1t cashed? Not
much.

DAINTY LAUNDERING.

A careful and fastidious young lady
must look we'll to her small belongings,
il her means are limited, and the matter
of neck arrangements alone will con-
sumo much thought; but by laundering
the muslin and ribbon ties and laces as
they become soiled they may be kept
fresh and dainty, as may wells, gloves,
fine handkerchiefs, and all other such
small articles, which cost considerable
sum of money, if new ones must be pur-
chased often. ~.
White wells may be cleaned by wash
ing in light suds. Put them in the
suds and let them soak for half an hour
then lift and press between the bands
till they are quite clean. Rinse In clear
warm water, and dry them by pinning
to cloth drawn over some smooth
surface and exposing to the air. When
perfectly dry, wind evenly over roller,
to keep them fresh and unwrinkled. A
marble slab or window pane Is con-
venient place for drying ribbons, laces.
and nice handkerchiefs.
Wash fine muslin articles, white lace.
and ribbons through suds made OF
pearline and warm soft water, by press
ing and squeezing between the hands
until clean, then rinse carefully, pull
into shape, and press over the smooth
surface. If any stiffening is desired,
dissolve little gum arabic in warm
water, and use the same as starch, for
white lace, muslin ties, or handkerchiefs.
The lace may be given creamy tint by
putting strained coffee in the rinse water
until the right tinge is procured. The
ribbons can be sponged with the gum
arabic water, and, when nearly dry,
they can be ironed by placing thin mus
lin between the iron and silk and press
ing on the wrong side to avoid an un'
desirable gloss.-Religious Herald.

sENoINe WEDDING PRESENTS.

1t Is golden rule to send your we'd
ding gift In good time, the first to arrive
being much more appreciated than that
which Is one of the many pouring In
from all quarters during the last week,
By sdhering to this rule you are also
saved the annoyance Of hearing that the
salt-cellars are charming, the third set
already received. .ri.s
A month before the wedding day Is
not too early to send the present, which
should be accompanied BY visiting
card, to be placed on the gift when dis
played among the others.
The package should be addressed to
the bride II you are intimate with both
the happy couple; and to the BRIDES
house, addressed to the bridegroom, II 1t
is he with whom you are best acquainted.
Most people wish to give something
novel, useful and pretty. The future
circumstances of the recipients should
influence the choice. If they are going
abroad do not give anything unsuitable
to the requirements of the climate or so
cumbersome that the packing and con-
veying to its destination will amount to
half the value Of the present.
II the recipients will not be particu.
larly we'll of, it is only kind to select
some useful present. In these days
when artistic taste Is shown In all the
necessaries of life, this should not be
difficult.
II the happy couple are likely to re-
ceive many presents, 1t Is safe to give
something which will not be amiss II re-
ceived In duplicate, such as silver sweet
meat dishes, silver teaspoons, or a
bronze or china ornsment.-Wo man's

Women are probably so much happier
than men because they have no wives.
The look on the average married
woman's face ought to teach most peo-
pie better. 80
When q woman marries man be-
cause she pities him, other folks are apt
to pity him because she marrles him.
When girl says that man looks $50

his clothes fit him, only she doesn't
know what is the matter.
The men always enjoy hearing two
women talk about fashions, but the
women never like to hear the men talk
politics, because they kno W that there Is
something in 1t that they can't under
stand.
