kolll,0n and BANKING.

The cashier of bank which has
many women depositors, IN speaking Of
these customers, said that the stock
stories about overdrawn accounts and
ignorance as to bank methods had be-
come pointless. Whatever may have
been the case before, women give
banks no more trouble now than men.
The woman who insists on drawing
money when her balance has been ex.
hausted because there are still blank
checks in her book has disappeared.
and In her place we have a woman
who wants interest on her money. and
who knows what call money means
said the cashier. Referring to the
old kind he added: Zone day we did
have real case. A woman rushed in.
said she had just figured up her &C.
count and found she was $500 short.
Husband away-no other money-what
could she do? She had brought jewels
to leave as collateral security till he
returned, and then we looked up the
matter and found she had over $500 to
her credit"-New York Tribune.

Wanted Moro Converts,

Southey In his life of Wesley relates
the following whimsical incident, BE
states that some Of the opponents of
these relgionists In the excess Of zeal
against enthusiasm took up a whole
wagon load of Methodists and carried
them before justice. When they
were asked what these persons had
done there was an awkward silence:
At last one Of tho accusers said,
why. they pretend to be better than
other people. and, besides, they pray
from morning till night.
The magistrate asked II they had
done nothing else.
Eyes, SIR" an old man said. "An't
please your worship, they have con.
verted my wife. Till she went among
them she had such a tongue, and now
she IS as quiet as lamb" ..
"Carry them back; carry them back,
the magistrate said, "and let them
convert all the scolds in the town.

A Dance Without a Smile.

They have a singular kind Of dance
conducted on the green's Of country
villages in Russia. The dancers stand
apart; a knot Of young men here. a
knot OF maidens there, each sex by it.
self and silent as a crowd Of mutes.
A piper breaks into a tune. A youth
pulls of his cap and challenges his
girl with a wave and a bow. If the
girl Is willing she waves her handker-
chief in token Of assent. The youth
advances, takes a corner Of the hand
kerchief in his hand and leads his
lassie round and round No word is
spoken, and no laugh is heard. Stiff
with cords and rich with braids. the
girl moves heavily by herself, going
round and round and never allowing
her partner to touch her hand The
pipe goes droning on for hours in the
same sad key and measure, and the
prize of merit in this 'circling," as
the dance is called, Is given by spec
tators to the lassie who in all that
summer revelry has never spoken and
never smiled.
