To Use Small Oriental Ruas.


The abuse of the small oriental rug,
no less an object of art than Of utility,
is an especially common mistake. By
all logic any rug used for floor cover
ing should emphasize the function of
the floor as solid foundation under
our feet To do this it must honor and
obey the lines Of the floor, at least that
part which it decorates. Yet time and
again, where several small rugs are
used for the carpeting of room, we
find them all thrown down on the
bias, often at different angles. With
none of the sides of a rug parallel to
the bounding lines Of the floor, we are
made conscious of a new decorative
idea, one built on top of and at cross
purposes with the original one. Chairs,
tables and other pieces Of furniture
must then be placed either to conform
with the position of the rugs or with
the structural arrangement of the
room; both sets of lines they cannot
follow. So, at best, we have a con-
fusion Of ideas, room which seems
to rest on an insecure foundation

Troubles of q Great Bank

The Bank of England has had its
troubles, Notwithstanding it's great
financial strength. 1t has passed
through many perils. At various times
Its notes have been at a heavy dis
count, its credit has been assailed, it
has been threatened with Impeachment
and 1t has been attacked by rioters.
The first run" on the bank occurred
in 1907. Other panics or runs occurred
in 1745, 1897 and 1926. In 1882 the
Duke Of Wellington was unpopular,
and four men placarded the walls of
London with the words, ITO stop the
duke, 60 for gold" Nobody knew ex-
actly what it meant, but it produced
q tremendous run on the bank. At
one time the bank lost 1920, 1000, or al
most $1,5O0,OOO, through the forgeries
Of one man and still more at another
time by the forgeries of another man.

9easant Life In Palestine.

The actual peasant life Of Palestine
has not greatly changed since Bible
times, and every village today boasts
Of its upper room, or guest chamber,
where the men meet and chat about
the local news. These guest chambers
have been In vogue since the days Of
the patrfarchs. Farming, of course, is
the principal occupation. The Pales-
tine farmer sows first and plows after
ward, as rule. He scatters the seed
over the ground by hand and then
plows it In. The plows are very primi-
tive and are driven, as rule, by oxen
A farmers field is not marked off by

ed by the ancient Hebrew name jedar
and on the plains by thorn hedges.
When the open fields are owned in
dividually the boundary lines are in
dicated by deep burrows, in which at
intervals stones are laid as landmarks
It is therefore readily seen how easily
these boundaries could be changed by
an avaricious neighbor, undeterred by
the Mosaic warning, "Cursed be he
that removeth his neighbours land

Kissed His Own PLAY.

Baron de Frenilly, who figured prom
inently in France during the days of
"the terror" must surely have been the
only author who ever Kissed his own
play. This was entitled LES Trois
Tantes'' and was produced at the
Vaudeville theater, Paris.
Before half Of the first scene had
been played I said to myself, oh, but
this Is execrable! The public was Of
the same opinion and, while my friends
kept applauding, Kissed with all its
strength. l ended by heartily Kissing
myself, for the further the play pro-
crossed the more convinced I was that
the people were right.
ION leaving the theater a friend who
was not in the secret of the authorship
said to me, What piece of extrava-
gance, what wretched farcev De-
testable,' replied, and whatever he
said went one better. 1T is said to

Protection,

A man who employed a number of
boys to pick raspberries was quite anx-
ious to protect them from mosquitoes,
so he had wells made to tie down
around the neck. The boys were very
grateful for his kindness until they
found that there were no mosquitoes
In that locality and also that they
couldn't eat any berries with those
wells on. The protection" was of an
other sort-Pittsburgh Press.

BE CAREFUL ABOUT HOW
you ISSUE YOUR CHECKS
A Few Suggestions That May Be of
Value to Bank Depositors.

In these days practically everybody
keep their money in a bank and pay
their bills by check. That is a
mighty good practice, but there is
much carelessness about writing
checks that may cost such depositors
dearly some day. One cannot be too
careful in writing out checks. The
following suggestions clipped from an
exchange are we'll worth reading.
HOW TO DRAW A CHECK.
The first thing depositor in a
bank should learn is how to draw a
check, for if a check is improperly
drawn it may lead to confusion and
might bring loss to the bank and
annoyance to the depositor. In the
first place the figures should be plain
as to the amount
II figure is carelessly made, SO
that it confuses those who handle the
check, numberless hours of work may
follow. For instance, if bank re-
ceives a check for $1.SS with a poor
49," and a clerk lists it as $1.0S, it
may take many hours time to find the
difference, and the entire days work
may have to be gone over. The rule
should be: never make figure that
may be mistaken and never pass one
that is in doubt-correct it by cross
ing out the bad and making good
one alongside.
Second, the words and figures
should agree. The law says that if the
two are different, the written words
govern, but make both carefully and
get them alike.
Third-Begin the writing we'll to
the left of the writing space and fill
in the unused space with a wavy line
Begin the figures we'll up against the
S sign, and make the character 000(
after, but close up against the figures
Use good black ink and write firm
ly, so that plenty of ink gets into the
fibre of the paper.
FOurth-Always write your name
exactly as you wrote it on the banks
signature card. "Mrs. William
Smith" may be the same person as
MARY V. Smith, but the bank &C
count doesn't stand that way.
Adopt one signature and stick to it
Do not flourish, nor make fancy
signature. Handwriting experts will
tell you that plain, distinctive sig
nature, with no fur-belOws is the most
difficult to forge.
The law of forgery is that the bank
is bound to know your signature, anC
pays forged instrument at it's owr
peril. The risk is all theirs, but that
is not to say you should not help elm
mate the chance of forgery by taking
care that your checks are properly
drawn. If you are grossly negligent
you might have to stand the loss
yourself.
Better be safe than sorry.
There are numerous protecting de-
vices on the market, some better thar
others, and these may be used as add
ed safeguards; but there is no rule
Of law that compels you to do so
You are safe if you follow the above
suggestions, but safer if you use q
protecting device, for then you cannot
be charged with any negligence in
making your checks forgery proof. Dc
not make it easy to work fraud thru
