HOW A BANK WAS SAVED.
A CASHIER With Nerve and an lssus Of
Counterfeit Money.

A CASHIER With Nerve and an lssus Of
Counterfeit Money.
Speaking of runs on banks"
said the veteran story teller, re
minds me Of story l once heard Of
a bank that was on the verge OF go
ing through when a clever scheme Of
the cashier saved it from utter ruin.
And the best Of the whole thing
was that in saving the bank the
cashier hoated a big issue of coun-
terfeit money, and the deception
was never found out. Here 10 how
the thing occurred: Some Of the
bank directors and some Of it's off,
GERS had been dabbling in stocks.
The crash came, and when it did
some of the banks officials got their
fingers jammed. It looked to be all
up win che bank. The run began,
and It seemed as il the old bank
would have to close its doors for
ever. 1t happened that the cashier
had a brother who was a secret serv-
ice man. This brother had led q
raid on a counterfeiters' den several
days before and had secured thou
sands of dollars worth Of paper
money, which represented some Of
the most beautifully executed coun-
terfeits ever seen in that territory.
he had placed in the bank box used
by himself and brother this money,
which he was holding as evidence.
The cashier thought Of this and
brought it into play. Figuring that
all the depositors who had large
amounts Of money in the bank
would return it to the institution
after the rush was over, he paid all
the claims of the big depositors with
this class Of money, keeping q rec
ord Of those to whom counterfeit
money was given. The bills were Of
large denomination. No one tried
to change any Of them. This mon
ey saved the day, and the run on
the bank ceased when it was seen
that all depositors were being paid.
When it was all over the cashier
went up to the men to whom he had
paid counterfeit money and succeed
ed in getting them to again become
depositors. In that way he succeed
ed in again getting possession Of all
the issue and within a week had re-
stored every one of the big counter
felt bills to its place in his and his
brothers bank box. Only the pres
ident, vice president and cashier Of
this bank ever learned Of the man.

The Origin Of Mrs. orundy.

How many who daily use the
name of Mrs. Grundy have any idea
Of her origin? 1t is generally be-
lieved that Dickens was somehow
responsible for her, but writer in
the Dundee Advertiser points out
that this is an utter mistake. The
real creator Of Mrs. Grundy was
Thomas Morton, the dramatist (born
1894, died 1889, the father of the
author of BOX and Cox" and she
is referred to in his comedy, Speed
the Plow," which was first perform
ed in 1898. Mrs. Grundy is not q
character in that play. She is mere
ly a mysterious parsonage whom
Dame Ashfeld, the farmers wife,

Tn. Wedding Cake.

The wedding cake Is borrowed
from antiquity. The original Ro.
man marriage was effected by the
simple process Of the bride and
bridegroom breaking a cake Of bread
and eating it together.
This in time developed into the
bride cake. The bride cut it because
1t was the duty of the woman to pre-
pare food for the man. Everybody
knows the superstition about sleep
ing on wedding cake. Country girls,
even in this age Of cynicism, look
forward to the weddings Of their
friends so that they may get piece
Of wedding cake. which, passed
through a ring, has the power to
produce in dreams the vision Of a
prospective husband.

4 MONSTER BOOK.
The largest One In tbs World 10 The
British Museum.


British Museum.
The Chinese department Of the
British museum library contains,
says a writer in Cassell's World Of
Wonders" a single work which &C.
cupies no fewer than 5000 volumes.
This wonderful production Of the
Chinese press Is one Of only very
email number Of copies now in e1-
-istenee. It is sn encyclopedia Of the
literature Of China, covering a pc
rod Of twenty-eight centuries, from
1000 B. c. to 100 A. d. =,
It owes its origin to the literary
proclivities Of the Emperor Kang
He, who reigned from 1862 to 1722.
In the course Of his studies Of the
ancient literature of his country
Kang He discovered that extensive
corruptions had been allowed to
creep into modern editions, and he
conceived the idea Of having the text
Of the originals reproduced and pre-
served in an authoritative form.
This was a mighty conception truly,
and in its execution it remains
unique down to the present time.
For the purpose Of carrying out the
work Kang He appointed commits
sion Of learned men to select the
writings to be reproduced and en-.
ployed the Jesuit missionaries to
cast copper types with which to exc
cute the printing.
The commission was occupied for
forty years in its great task. Before
the work was completed Ksng He
died, but he had provided that his
successor should see the book com.
pleted, and he faithfully carried Out
his trust. The book is arranged in
six divisions, each dealing with a
particular branch Of knowledge. The
divisions are thus designated: First,
writings relating to the heavens;
second, writings relating to the
earth; third, writings relating ia
mankind; fourth, writings relating
to inanimste nature; fifth, writings
relating to philosophy; sixth, writ,
ings relating to political economy.

rious perquisites not allotted K
those in the humber walks of life
In this connection, therefore, thu

A Modern Diossnes.

A man had a quarrel with his wife
which led to a breach Of the peace.
The woman took her revenge by re-
fusing to speak to him for several
days. The husband, who was good
natured enough when not excited,
could not bear this protracted ST.
lence any longer and thought Of a
way to break the spell. One after
noon he lighted a candle, stuck it in
q lantern and while his wife was
sitting in the room busily sewing he
began to look under the table, the
chairs, etc, as though he had lost
something. At this the wife could
not help laughing, and she asked
him:
"What are you looking forw
Delighted at having gained his
point, he cheerfully replied:
~ was looking for your tongue"

Mr.. Stingiman's antiquated Steed
is, to put it mildly, rather thin. As
if to make up for the lack of flesh
on the body, however, the animal
has a head many sizes too large for
it. OF course, people talk about that
horse, and Mr.. Stingiman doesn't
like it. The other week, for in
stance, Stingiman had gone to the
expense of a new collar for the
brute. Ten minutes after delivery
he was back at the saddler's with the
collar.

Rio dc Janeiro. Brazil.

Ric dc Janeiro, Brazil.
In Rio de Janeiro there ara quite a
large number of Brazilian dentists.
some of whom are prospering, and 9TH
ers are not. There are also a number
of American dentists who have plenty
of work at high prices. and while the
cost of living and their expenses are
very high, they have large incomes.
The advertised prices are 30 to SO
miireis per hour $50 to SIG gold,) the
actual charges being little below
these rates. These successful den
lists, however. are men of experience
and attainments and would do well
anywhere. To secure a license one
must pass not only rigid technical
examination. but must read and write
Portuguese fluently. The Brazilians
who can supply frst-class practice are
limited in number and the trade Is
we'll controlled, so that it would be
difficult for new dentists to secure an
opening. American dental supplies
are popular and well represented here.
