Satirical Banking Rules. The folowing rules are recommended j | to the attention of those who do busi- j ness at banks. By not following them, ' : they will be the means of saving a great deal of time and annoyance: I j If you have any business with a ' , bank, put it off" until 3:30 o'clock, or, | if possible, a little later, as it looks I more business-like to rush in just as i I the bank is closing. In depositing money try to get it up-! | side down and wrong end foremost in i order that the teller may have a little j j exercise in straightening it out before I ; counting. It is best not to take your bank-book I with you but call another time to have 1 the entry made. You can thus make ( two trips to the banks where one would j suffice. If a cheek is made payable to your order, be careful not to endorse it be fore handing it to the teller but let birn . return it to you and wait while you endorse it..This helps to pass the time and is a pleasure and relief to the teller. Never keep any record when your note falls due then; censure the bank officials when the note is protested. Always date your checks ahead, it is a never failing sign that you keep a ' good balance in bank, or if you do not: wish it generally known that you are CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY. MARCH 13, 1902. doing a good business, do not deposit money until your check will bo in When you make a deposit, do not use a deposit slip but mix bills and cheeks indiscriminately together since it facilitates matters hugely. A strict observance of the foregoing rules will make your accounts desir able for any bank and will make you a general favorite with all the bank offi cers. A Japanese Superstition. Writing exhaustively of dragon fllee Lafcadio Ileum says in his book, "A Japanese Miscellany," of '"the dragon fly of the dead:" "Unlike the equally weird name "yurei-tombo, or 'ghost dragon fly,' the term shroal-tombo does not refer to the appearance of the insect, but to the strange belief that certain dragon flios are ridden by the dead, used as winged steeds. "From tho morning of the thirteenth to the midnight of the llfteenth day of the old seventh month—the time of the festival of the Boil—the dragon fli<-s are said to carry the hotoke-sama, the august spirits of the ancestors, who then revisit their former homes. There fore. during lisi' Buddhist All Souls' children are forbidden to molest any dragon tiles, espc-ialiy dragon llies that may happen to enter the family dwell ing. "This supposed relation of dragon flies t i the supernatural world helps to exiihii:' an old folk saying, still current in some provinces, to the effect that the child who catches dragon llies will never 'obtain knowledge.' " llo>v FriMlrrlck Stoppoil Puding;. When Frederick the Great ascended the Prussian throne, fatal duels among otiieers were of daily occurrence. lie resolved to put an end to the practice, and he did—for a time; as long as he reigned, in fact. He issued an edict that any officer fighting a duel and surviving would l>e shot or hanged. Two officers appealed to him to be allowed to try to slay each other. Granted on two conditions, that he (the king) should chose the ground and he present at the encounter. Accepted. Frederick chose the ground, attended the "meet" and took his seat behind the line new gibbet lie hud erected in honor of the occasion. The combatants . approached his majesty, saw the gib bet, became puzzled and embarrassed. "What may this mean, your gracious majesty?" they ventured to ask. "It means this."was the suave reply— "that the man who survives will be hanged as high as Ifaman on that gib bet." There was no duel.—Pall Mall Ga zette. People Who Dill Not Kill. I The inhabitants of tho Canary is j lands, the Guanches, were, it is sup- I posed, but the mountain shepherds of a submerged world. Though so strong ! physically, the Guanches were never | thelcss a very gentle nj?e. They rare ly made war on one another, and when I the Europeans fell into their hands i they did not kill them, but sent them jto tend sheep in tin? mountains. So | tame were the birds In this happy land i that when the Spaniards first landed | they came and fed out of their hands. | To kill an animal degraded a man. The butcher v.-as a reprieved criminal and outcast and lived apart, he and ' his assistants being supported by the i state. No woman was allowed to ap j proach tin- shambles, and in such lior j ror was killing held by these giants ' that no man could lie ennobled until | he had publicly declared that he had j not been guilty of killing any animal, j not even a goat. Their standard of j morality was high. Robbery was al | most unknown among them. Matcrnul I.OVP of tlie Wliale. | No other member of the animal king : dom displays more maternal affection than the whale, especially if its calf is j harpooned. The harpooner neverthrows his harpoon into the little one with the j the Intention of killing It, for If this Is l done the mother will Instantly forsake I It. If alive and struggling, however, the dam can be easily enticed toward j the boat to meet Its fate. Knowing j this, the whale fishermen always strike I a calf if possible and thus often make ! captures that could not be effected un j der other circumstances. [ As soon as the dam becomes aware j of the snaring of her young she rushes i toward it, encourages it to swim away | and even assists it by taking it under her tin. She seems to lose all regard for her own safety and boldly attacks | the boat containing the whalemen or circles about it totally regardless of the harpoons that are hurled at her and I enter her llesh. hiiikbi IHIIIHM THE PRESS IS THE BEST MEDIUM FOR ADVERTISERS IN THIS SECTION.
