Ereeri.saGIn9 Cannon.

The breeehlOading cannon were
among the earliest used. We find
them on English and other ships as
early as the last quarter of the four
teenth century, and therefore much
before the time OF the buccaneers.
The cannon was mere tube, bound
with heavy iron rings, and was load
cd by the insertion of the 'gonne
chamber" an iron pan containine

closed the breech. These guns were

SPANISH ETIQUETTE.


|
Street 6ssssrs
From what we saw and from
what happened to rs l made up q
page of Spanish etiquette. Ii as
probably not correct, but / offer il
as the result Of our experiences.
Other people may have had differ
ent impressions. II you are of the
female sex never wear a short skirt,
a sailor or English walking hat un-
less you are willing to have people
stare at you and sometimes call
after you. II you have red hair dye
it or be prepared to be saluted as
"Rubia." Never bow to a man un-
less he lifts his hat first. If you are
a man you may dress as an English
man, an operate tenor or a chorus
singer from Carmen without excit-
ing remark. Never wear glasses.
It you are blind take q dog on a
string. When you sit down at the
table OF arise always bow and say,
~BusnAs-" This is imperative. You
may !ostle people without apology,
but never speak to any one without
saying "your grace" be he-noble,
friend or beggar. "Will your grace
do mo the favor to bring me nv
coffee st 8 o'clock tomorrow 2"
would strike On American bellboy
with dismay. But it is the literal
translation of the Spanish request.
Never tell beggar to clear out, but
say that you have left your purse at
home and that you, will remember
him tomorrow or gently murmur
that God will reward, him, whereat
he will smile, thank You and depart.
These Same beggsrs, who spring
up on every side, seem to have a
'eods Of etiquette We could not faith
m. After two or three days there
vere q few Who begged only from
NE, two or three others who be-
sought jean. Evidently We were
undezstood to be the patrons Of GER
taiA beggars who out Of a crowd of
msAdioants were the only ones to
sppRtaeh n Who would take their
d0ls With thanks or if we said ssto-
morrow" would smilingly back
avsy at once.
Atrip into Spain ought to mean
more than sketches of life as we
saw it in single city. Yet it wae
our pleasure to linger on in Mad !

days spent in Toledo and the Escu-

The STOCK EXCHANGE.
osts of the First Agreement Among
New York's Brokers.

i 'S'Ne stsNefes
In the early part of March, 1892,
the first notice was printed of the
opening of stock exchange office
at % Wall street by A. l.. Blocker
& Sons, J. Pintard, McEyers & Bar
clay, Cortlandt & Tcrrcrs and Jaw
& Sutton. These several firms held
auctions of stock each day at noon,
selling in rotation to insure equal
opportunities for each other.
Some Of the broker specialists re-
sented such restricted organiza-
ton, and on March 21 a meeting
was called of the dissatisfied brokers
for purposes of protection, and
committee was appointed to pro-
vide suitable room in which 10
assemble and to suggest such rules
and regulations for conducting
their business as the committee
deemed necessary. The final result
of this meeting, says Moody's Mag
azine, was the first signed agree
ment among dealers in securities
the oldest record now in the ar
chives OF the New York Stock Ex-
change. The agreement reads as
follows:
eve, the Subscribers, Brokers
for the purchase and Sale of Public
Stock, do hereby solemnly promise
and pledge ourselves to each other,
that We will not buy or sell from
this day, for any person whatsoever,
any kind OF Public Stock at less
rate than one-quartcr rer cent COM
mission on the specie value, and
that We will give preference to
each other in our negotiations. In
Testimony Whereof We have set our
hands this 18th day of May, at New
York, 1892"
This. organization had no local
habitation for conducting exchange
business. Like the curb brokers to-
day, transactions were carried on In
the open air at a point between the
present numbers of 6S and 20 Wall
street, under Q famous old button
wood tree that stood there with.
widespreading branehas, which pro-
tected them frem the suns rays and
inclement weather.
Business in those days was not
rushing. and there was an air Of
leisure and quiet about the gather
ting. Securities we're not active
enough to employ all the time Of
the brokers, so between times bet
ting on the results of domestic and
foreign political controversies and
dealing in merchandise were In
cluded.
The first inside quarters Of the
exchange were secured In l7e3,
when the Tontine coffee house, at
the northwest corner of Wall and
William streets, was completed.
The old buttonwood tree was aban-
doned, and the dignity Of the bro
kers' organization was elevated by
the change. The Tontine coffee
house was controlled by a chartered
company composed Of 2o3 subscrib-
srs at $500 each, organised as D
exchange.
The dealers In securities and the

change board was iormally orap-
Eed and a Constitution Adopted.

BENEFIT FOR FLOOD SUFFERERS
J.. NETS $6,453.50

One of the most successful stunts
for raising money for flood sufferers
was pulled off yesterday afternoon
under the direction of the Chicago
Theater Managers Association at the
Auditorium Theater.
The entertainment, which was
opened with an address by Blanche
Bates, started at 1:30 O'Clock and
lasted until $50. Every seat was oc-
cupfed. The program, which consist
ed of players from every company at
local big theaters, was an excellent
bill.
The receipts, $6,453.50, were turn
ed over to the Chicago Association of
Commerce relief fund today.

LARGE FIRMS HAVE SIGNED NEW
AGREEMENT WITH PAINTERS


Despite stories in the trust newspa-
pers to the contrary, most of the
larger firms have signed the new
agreement with the Painters District
Council and the men are returning to
work under better conditions and bet
ter wages. ....
According to the Record-Herald
this morning, the bosses have not
signed but the men are going to work
again pending an agreement. Thls Is
absolutely untrue.
"The trust papers have been trying
to discredit the painters during this
strike" said Henry Wagner, business
agent of the Painters District Coun-
Gil, this morning. Every man who
has gone back to work SO far, has
only gone under the new agreement.
The men laughed at the compromise
offered by the bosses and most of the
employers soon saw the folly of their
way and quickly signed the agree
ment presented by the painters.

nearly all the large north side con-

that have not very many jobs right
now are holding out.
This morning there was only about

PLANNING FOR FINANCIAL AID
y TO BANKS IN OHIO

Is TO BANKS IN OHIO
Troy, O., April 5.--Gov. Cox, fol-
lowing a conference with the Ohio
flood relief commission on his way
here from Dayton, wired Pres. Viii
son to send treasury officials to Ohio
cities suffering from the food to sur
vey the possibilities OF advancing
financial aid to banks
The governor asked that the war
engineers survey the stricken dis
tricts, and suggest methods to pre-
vent future floods.
Gov. Cox said that the banks in
the flood zone, with the aid of the
national treasury, would be in posi-
ton to extend credit quickly.
For heroic service in the Dayton
flood, the governor gave John. H.
Patterson, president of the National
Cash Register Co., and H. E. Talbot,
a Dayton engineer, commissions as
colonies in the National Guard.

The Coquettish Slant.
BY ANNA HELD.

YES are the greatest single-hand-
ed champions of a woman's
beauty.
Eyes are the windows of the soul
and the index of the spirit.
And surely we all long to have
clean, shining windows" and an Gin
dex" that will tempt the world to read
the volume to which they belong.
Beautiful, haunting eyes!
Surely you have often said that you
would give fortune to possess them
Now give me your attention-and
then give your eyes the benefit of the
course treatment l will describe. And
! hope your goal will be reached with
out loss of fortune.
First let us make sure of a suitable
frame for our picture.
This means, let US see about &C
quiring luxuriant eyelashes and eye
brows. Every morning on arising
brush the brows in a crescent and
brush the lashes upward with a tiny
brush we'll moistened in water. Ali
growing things need water.
At night brush with another little
brush you keep especially for this use.
! But moisten this brush in slightly
warmed vaseline or olive oil or oil of
cocoanut.
Any pure, warm oil will stimulate
the growth of hair.
Be very careful not to irritate the
eyeball or to allow any of the oil to
get into the eye.
| Now we have a splendid dark frame
for our picture. The next thing is to
make our picture beautiful enough to
shine out of the dark frame, which is
protector, too-and guards against
dust and all harmful intruders.
THE FIRST RULE.
The first rule to remember in stpdy-
ing the care of the eyes themselves is
that the health of the body has much
| to do with the eyes.
! If you are perfectly we'll, with glow
ing blood in healthy circulation, your
eyes will be clear and bright. So in
the care of your eyes, go back to the
! beginning and have your health good!
Each morning before you brush up
the frame" battle the eyes in cold
water.
/ Make UP a cup of the hand and dash
| cold water against each eye thirty
/ times
| The shock of the cold water will
stimulate circulation. All, madame, do
not be lazy, | pray you.
Thirty little dashes of cold water
for each eye, and they will feel as well
as they look-and they will look ravis-
sante!
Whenever you come in front the
dusty streets follow this little "eye
drill'-thirty dashes of cold water
If the muscles of the eyes ache
duly. lay bandage of hot water
across the eyes and renew constantly
for fifteen minutes.
Follow with fifteen minutes of com
presses wrung out in ice water.
And now l shall tell you two of my
pet secrets.
When | find that | have unbecom
ing pouches under my eyes, and the
water massage will not remove them
| pack cold cream very tightly under
the eyes and let it remain while l lie
relaxed for fifteen minutes.
Then l wipe it off quite gently and
rub deftly from the inner corner tc
