PRINCE AS BANK WRECKER
How the Famous Regent Tried TO
Close tho coutts institution by
Trick That Didn't Work.

The Gentlewoman OF London recalls
the following story OF the prince re.
gent and Coutts' bank: When George
w. was regent he had a grudge
against Coutts' and determined to play
a trick on the authorities. In those
days even the great banks kept very
small reserves Of cash and the playful
prince thought out plan to close
Coutts'. So he sent his equerry round
from Carlton house with a check for
100000, fondly hoping that the bank
would not be able to pay over the
counter. The princes trick, however,
failed Of success, as the wary old part
ner OF the Strand bank proved equal
to the occasion. He said at once to
the equerry; How will his royal high
ness take the amount, in gold or
notes." The equerry hesitated, and
then said he had better 60 back to
Carlton house to inquire. So he de-
parted. and Coutts' had time to send
to the Bank of England and get the
cash required. but It was not needed
as the prince regent, seeing that
Coutts' had got the better of him, did
not return the check In question

Encyclopedias are an English In

SHIPS THAT KICK.
sssmen Don't Like Them and Dodge
Them if They Can.

sssmsn Don't Like Them and Dodge
Them IL They Can.
When sailors join a ship almost the
first question asked by each one as he
takes the wheel for the first time is,
docs she kick?"
Kicking, as it is called by the sea-
men, is due to the action Of the water
under the lee of the rudder when the
vessels stern, which has for mo-
ment been borne skyward ON the crest
of a wave, falls back again into the
trough with such terrific force as to
make her tremble fore and aft and
perhaps wrench the wheel from the
grasp of the steersman.
Sometimes it happens that he is
taken unawares and, being unable to
let go In time, Is flung right over the
wheel to the other side Of the deck,
often receiving serious injuries. Some
times man will be pitched right
overheard into the sea, and a recent
case is known of a man who received
a blow under the chin from one of the
spokes and died few days later from
the effects.
In some of the worst types Of kick
ers kicking straps are used regularly
In nearly all weathers, and many sail
ors refuse to go to sea In ships which
are known to be confirmed klckers.- -

CHEAP PERFUMES.
Made From Musk Supplied BY Many
Varieties Of CiNst Cats.

Most women who indulge freely In
the use Of cheap perfumes do not
know OF what they are compounded.
The principal ingredient Of low priced
perfumes is musk, animal musk, which
Is obtained from several creatures.
The muskrat is probably the best
known Of these, and a few decades
ago the wives and sweethearts OF lIeI
who set traps around bitches and
ponds in the countryside carried proud
ly the bags OF musk obtained from this
source. As an article Of commerce the
musk supplied by several varieties Of
civet cats Is probably the best known
today. The odor Is strong and sweet.
The strength is the particularly no.
ticeable feature and is the reason
why 1t Is the foundation Of the per
fumes. In the small mammal house
at the geological gardens are two sizes
Of civets. and any one with an inves-
tigating turn OF mind may stand near
the cages and catch the musky odor.
The musk Is used in the cheap per-
fumes, as only little is needed to give
a most lasting odor TO an ounce Of
perfumery, but the musk itself is not
cheap. and 1t is one Of the duties Of
the attendant Of the mammal house to
collect it. 1t is then sold through reg
ular channels and is one Of the sources
of revenue to the zoo, although a small
