The rustic Of velvet and silk among
the women lent an air to the occasion,
and their gaudy attire added lustre to

rang with the sound of the music, and
the couples danced through the figures
as gracefully as Grecian water nymph

graced by nearly all OF the youth and

Iron Tree of Vienna.

Hardly the world over could there
be found a tree which has come into
more intimate connection with the
youth DESTROYS of success in life than
the curious iron tree Of Vienna. For in
the old days, when it was the custom
of every apprentice who had attained
to some degree Of proficiency in his
trade to bid farewell to family and
friends and set out on foot to seek his
fortune. he went before leaving the
city and drove nail into this trees
trunk.
Should the nail then drive straight
the act was regarded as especially
ominous of success and that his road
over difficulties would prove smooth,
but when it bent or broke in the driv-
ing the face of the apprentice turned
suddenly awry, he believing that either
he would fail utterly in life or that
success would only come to him late
and through most difficult channels.
In the remnant of the tree that now
remains so many nails have been
driven that not a vestige Of its original
wood can be seen. Literally its surface
is hard as nails.

A Famous New York Bank.

Early last. century a charter was
granted company to set up a chemical
works in New York, and in considera-
ton of the boon these works would be
a clause was added granting banking
privileges. The astute men at the head
of the concern saw possibilities Of de-
velopment on banking lines not ap-
parent in the manufacture of chemicals
and decided to make the business a
banking one. To retain the privilege,
however, it was necessary to manufac-
ture chemicals, and SO then, as today,
an admirable pretense was made. Of do
ing this. In the fine establishment Of
the great Chemical National bank on
Broadway little shop is apportioned
to a manufacturing chemist, who pot
tiers about mixing ingredients. He is
not much troubled with business, but
now and again New York citizen will
startle visitor by taking him into this
fine bank and asking for dimes
worth of castor Oil-which is supplied.
This was the only bank which did not
suspend specie payments during the
civil war.

DWeIIers In the Ice.

The Etahyans, or "arctic highland
ers'' of Ross, live in ice caves within
the vast glacier cap which covers all
northern Greenland. Theirs is perhaps
the most wretched and isolated exist
ence it is possible to conceive.
Their dwellings" are always wet,
owing to the melting of the ice walls
and floor. For full six months of the
year the darkness of the arctic night
envelops them. The ice is around them,
beneath them, above them. In nine
cases out of ten if they venture abroad
they breathe the frozen particles, and
the sensation is akin to that which
comes from inhaling the blast of fur
mace.
Nevertheless they refuse to move far
Their south with the approach Of win
ter, as do all the other Eskimo tribes.
They take sort of perverted pride in
their loneliness as in their misery.
"What matter" they say, "if we are
cold and hungry? We are the last of
all peoples We dwell literally at the
end of the world. To the north of us
there is snow, there is ice, but there is
no land, and there is nothing that lives,
breathes or has Independent move
ment" -Pearson's.

Morgan as an CANCEL"

One morning not long ago the Earl
of Rosslyn came down from his single
bedroom in an uptown hosiery with
81 cents in his pockets. Creditors,
members of his theatrical company,
were clarorous for salaries in arrears.
The earl bethought himself of the
great American banker, friend of his
sister, Lady Gordon-Lennox. He hur-
ried to Wall street and upon being
ushered into the private office of the
aforesaid banker, told the proverbial
hard-luck story with such good effect
that the big financier, who was none
other than j. P. Morgan, pulled out a
bank roll that would have choked a
cow, skinned off a thousand dollar
note, and handed it to Rosslyn with the
remark: "Some of the boys outside
will change it for you."-New York

Military Geese.

Even the geese in Germany march
with military precision, which may be
the reason why the famous drill style
of the German infantry is called the
goose step" A writer in Travel thus
describes the great goose armies which
are so interesting to the health seekers
at Bad Nauheim:
''It is worth while to go to Ober-
Moerlen at 6 o'clock in the afternoon to
see. these geese returning home from
the fields. The village is white with
them; hundreds and thousands, regi-
ments and brigades of geese, marching
along with military precision. AS they
near home they separate Of their own
accord; sixteen to the right, twelve to
the left, detachment up lane, and so
on-all quacking loudly, but bearing
themselves with that keen sense Of Or
der and discipline which distinguishes
the vateriand."
