When ''St. Jacobs Oil" was
first painted on therocks at Ma
CARA Falls, the ad was a good
one; because it was novel.
When patent medicine altman
acs were first issued, folks read
them-certifcates and all-be-
cause some of their jokes were
new and professional certificate
writer's had not become known
of all men.
When circulars were first sent
to individuals through the mail,
they did not all reach the waste
basket unread, because people
had more vanity about being per-
sonally singled out and addressed
than they have now.
When the church fairs, and the
secret societies and the charity
organizations, and the labor uni

GOLDEN NEEDLES
They Were Used When GaIlants u
France Did Fancy Work.

FaH(S liz ~ NNCf6s
During the old regime in France,
about which so much glamour re-
mains to us, the very men who were
living and making the history of the
empire of Louis passed their leisure
time in a way that seems to US OF
today utterly ridiculous. IL all the
fancy work on which ladies employ
ed themselves the men seem to have
taken part.
Poinsinet in one of his comedies
represents a young marquis enter
ing q room where two fair damsels
are embroidering. One is working
a piece of dress trimming, the other
a Marty iounce. The beau examines
the embroidery with the eye Of a
connoisseur, points out here and
there the specially good touches and
is too polite to notice any defects.
He takes a little gold tube out o.
the pocket of mis- richly decorated
waistcoat and selects a dainty gold
needle. He goes to the frame at
which Cidalise is working and fn-
ishes the flower which she had be-
gun. From her he moves to the
sofa and, selling one end of the
founce, assists 1smene, to whom he
pays special attention, to complete
her task.
At this time it was the custom Of
the ladies invariably to carry their
workbags with them to the evening
receptions, in which they had not
only their embroidery materials, but
the last novel, the popular songs,
their patch boxes and rouge pots.
Gentlemen also carried deity en-
broidered little bags into company,
which held "a whole arsenal of cut
lery and fancy articles, such :
boxes Of different shapes filed wit
lozenges, bonbons, snuff and scent
At another period the fashion OF
the day was to cut out drawings
from books and pamphlets and to
paste them on screens, lamp shades,
boxes and vases. The skill in this
was to SO arrange the drawings OF
parts Of different drawings as tt
produce a curious or amusing ef
feet. Then there came a season
when all the rage was for charades
and riddles, which gave a peculiarly
good opportunity to exercise the
light and rapid wit so conspicuous
in the French. Every evening the
drawing rooms were converted into
%impromptu charades. Some lady
would suggest a word or phrase, and
forthwith it would be converted into
the subject of a sprightly little play
Many of the word games now cur.
rent with us in America had theil
origin in the necessity the French
salons were under in the last cen.
tury to divert themselves. In some
of the salons the fashion of keep

was too often a mere chronicle O.

H STOCK EXCHANGE.
pste of the First Agreement Among
New York's Brokers.

Oate OF tne FirSt agreement among
New York's Brokers.
In the early part Of March. 1872,
the first notice was printed of the
opening Of a stock exchange Office
at % Wall street by 4. L. Blocker
& Sons, j. Pintard, McEvers & Bar
clay, Cortlandt & Terrers and JAY
& Sutton. These several firms held
auctions of stock each day at noon,
selling in rotation 10 insure cqaa
opportunities for each other.
Some of the broker specialists re-
sented such a restricted orraniza-
ton, and on March Z a meetins.
was called of the dissatisfied brokers
for purposes of protection, and a
committee was appointed to pro-
vide a suitable room in which TO
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 nov in the ar
chives of the New York Stock Ex-
change. The agreement reads as
follows:
owe, 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 a less
rate than one-Quartcr Fer cent COM
mission on the specie value, and
that we will give a 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 NJ local
habitation for conducting exchange
business. Like the curb brokers to-
day, transactions we're carried on in
the open air at a point between the
present numbers of 6S and 70 Wall
street, under a famous old button
wood tree that stood there with
widespreading branches, which pro-
tected them from the suns rays and
ordinarily Indictment weather.
Business in those days was not
rushing, and there was an air of
leisure and quiet aboat the gather
ing. Securities were 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 1898,
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 203 subscrib-
ers at 5000 each, organized as a
merchants exchange.
The dealers in securities and the
merchants were all jumbled up to-
gether, and at times when trading
was brisk there VIZ wild excitement
and Shouts that would have done
credit I, Il bar1 x Comanche In
dams. No coas.in ION for a stock
EXCHANGE was adoped until 1917,
when the New York stock and ex-
change board was formally organ
lied and a constitution adopted.
Nathaniel Prime was appointed
president and John Burson score
tary.

ALUMINIUM SHOWER.

This is the season of brides and no
doubt several engagements will soon
be announced. Probably many show
ers will be given and while a bride to
whom such a function would be help
full is still showered, and wisely with
linen, kitchen belongings or provis-
ions, even these time honored affairs
are apt to be given with some new
twist without losing their practical
character
For instance, many brides this year
will be showered with alumium, in
stead of ordinary kitchen tins or
enamels. This is of course more ex-
pensive than the tin shower but it
is more worth while, and by select
ing the smaller necessaries or by COM
bining funds for the large articles
every ones purse can be suited. 1t
would be amusing to follow the show
err by a little luncheon in which alum
mum plays a prominent part in the
table service. This could be a surprise
to the guests who are in the secret
of the shower, but unaware of the
pleasant little feast which will come
after it.
