The Bucket Shop.

Bucket shops"-a name now used
to denote small "outside'' Stockholders
or fnanciers not in membership with
the Stock Exchange-were so called
because when they first started in
Chicago the only commodity dealt in
by small spectators to any extent
was wheat. The legitimate dealers
would not handle an order for less
than 5000 bushels. and then a lot of
places sprung up where men Of linn
tied capital could speculate with very
small sums. and these men were spo-
ken of contemptuously as buying and
selling wheat by the bucketful; hence
shops where a small business was
conducted in grain on a margin came
to be known as bucket shops. The
term was finally. extended to owe all
brokerage offices where small lots of
either grain or stock were bought and
sold. and it was applied particularly
20 those places where both seller and
buyer did not more than gamble" on
the rise and fall of stocks.

Rows an Mems Hats.

Why is lit that a mans hat has a
band. and why is it this band has a
bow invariably on the left side?
The answe is that there was a time
when u piece of cloth adjusted to the
head and tied with a band of other
material Served for a headpiece. The
reason the bow was always placed
on the left side had its origin in the
fact that in welding u .sword-an ac-
complishment possessed by nearly ev-
cry one of consequence at Il period
of the worlds history-the bow or
rosette if placed on the right side
would have been in the way. Its pres
ent day utility is that it keeps most
men from wearing their hats hind side
before. and. although with most hats
that would not matter. with most
heads It does.-Chicago Record Herald.

That's my brother. .,yoar excel
lency," was the answer.
a smile stealing Over the generals
face suggested the idea that lie had
mot obtained the information he wish
ed. Some time after tile general went
to another group of people and there
joined the officer whose. name he had
inquired. Suddenly the others saw him
turning away. with the same smile on
his face.
Afterward. when they inquired from
the young officer what the general had
asked him. he replied:
SHE asked me who that officer was
over there"
And what did you sag"
81 said that lie was my brother"
The general gave up inquiring the
name of the two brothers for that
evening.

An awkward Selection.

The first Baron Kenyon was rather
fond Of telling the story of how while
on circuit with Justice Rock they en-
tered a village just in time to accom-
pany the population to the little vii
lage church. The parish clerk anxious
to have the congregation show due ap.
probation of the honor conferred by
the presence of the distinguished ju-
rists, gave out two verses of II Of
the metrical psalms: Speak. o We
judges Of the earth. if just your SEN
tence be-. or must not innocence ap-
peal to heaven from your decree? Your
wicked hearts and judgments are alike
by malice swayed. your gripping hands
by mighty brides to violence betrayed
BY this time most of the adults had
woke up to the application Of the
psalm and remained silent, allowing
the children to continue the second
verse.-London Taller.

How WeIshwomen Garry Their Rabies

How W~elshwomen Carry Their Babies.
The quaint; old Welsh way in which
Swansea carry their babies at
tracts every ones notice when visiting
that town for the first time. a big
shawl over the right shoulder is drawn
down to the left hip, where the two
ends Of the shawl are met and held
together. forming Il sort Of pouch or
pocket. in which the baby snugsles
rozily and safely. Its weight is so
supported by the hip and distributed
by the shawl over the whole upper
part of the body that there is no strain
ut all nor any firing Of the arms. This
probably accounts for the upright car
riage Of the Welsh mother. Moreover.
the method is comfortable for the
child and so safe that in Swansea
small boys swathed in their mothers
shaw wis are seen carrying the family's
latest baby.-London Chronicle.
