DRESSES FOR AUTUMN.
Mapy handsome dress models for au.
uma wear show the bodice laced,
hook#d, or buttoned down the back-—a
most becoming fashion on a graceful fig-
ure, and a commendable one for certain
gowns if one has a maid or a friend al-
ways available, but if chance services
have to be depended upon, this graceful
style must be sacrificed, for be the arms
ever so long and patience like Job's, one

The First Run on a Bank.
The first “run on a bank" of which we
have any record took place in London in
1667. lo that year some London bank
ers were unable to meet the unexpected
demands of their depositors for money
and closed their doors. The people sup-
posed they were to be swindled, a riot
ensued, and four bankers were dragged
from their offices and hanged in their
own doorways. The military had to be
called out before order wus restored,
Although this is the first recorded
sean” such affairs could not have been
of usual oecurrence, us the word ‘‘bank-
rupt” plainly shows. It is derived from
two Italian words which mean ‘‘broken
teneh.,” The money changers and
money lenders did business at counters
in the market places of Italian cities,
and a man would often rush into the
square, overturn the counters or benches
and steal the cash. Hence a *‘bank-
rapt,” or one whose bench is broken,
came to mean & man without cash, — [St

Ferdinand Hassler, the father of

into the progress of the work. The
committee reached New York and
wended their way upstairs to the
room where Hassler was drilling his
classes and preparing them for work.

met them at the door and inquired
their business. They answered that
they had come to investigate. “What
part of the work do you wish to in-
spect?” inquired the Swiss mathema-
tician. Congress had no definite idea
on the point. “Then you had better
go and find out,” returned Hassler,
as he shut the door in the face of the
astonished committee. The commit.
tee looked at each other, and, on
Hassler was about right, and quietly
wended their way downstairs and
