PAYING BY CHECK.
References Required to Open Bank
Account In England.
"I like the American custom of car
rying money loose In the pocket," said
D. 11. Llelmn, a retired banker of Lon
don. "In England gentlemen and busi
ness men carry very little money with
them. Nearly everything Is paid for
by check, except, of course,, money
enough to pny tho small Incidental ex
penses of a day.
"If a man goes Into a store to buy K
lint, lie does uot pay money for It, but
gives a check. If be Is dining nt a
public place, he very likely pnys for
his menl with a check. The system of
credit In England Is different from thnt
in this country, and the mere fact that
a man hns an account in a bank serves
to give him standing.
"One cannot open an account with a
bank in England merely by carrying
money to the hank and depositing It
He must have two first class refer
ences before a bank will accept his ac
count, and when reference Is given It
means that the person giving It would
Indorse or stand for the person to
whom it Is given.
"A reference in England means more
than a mere phrase. Checks on banks
in England cannot be obtained for the
mere asking, and a man must have an
account in order to get checks from
any bank. They cannot be picked up
on bank counters or in public places.
"Private accounts in English banks
are not accepted unless tbey are paid
for, the general charge being $50 a
year. There are one or two banks in
England which discriminate so care
fully in the accounts they accept that
when a person Is fortunate enough to
be permitted to open nn account with
them he can get credit lu any city in

Ths Jury Had to Teach the Pompous
Judge a Lesson.
A certnlu trial Judge In n certain
stnte became ho unpopular that tlio
only way he could get u verdict for the
state was to make Ills charge lu favor
of the prisoner." When mutters had
reached this stage n famous feud lift
er was arrested on n charge of murder
and brought to trial. The case, which
wns the Judge's Orst murder trial, at
tracted much nttentlou, nnd the Judge,
whose unpopularity arose from his
vanity nnd pomposity, greatly enjoyed
his role ns umpire of the law. Tho
case was a clear one against the de
fendant, nud his guilt was so conclu
sively proved that the Judge even pre
sumed to charge accordingly. The
Jury retired, and when they died back
into court it wns noticed that they
avoided the prisoner's eye nnd looked
unusually solemn.
"Gentlemen," said the Judge, wavlug
the clerk Into silence, "have you
reached a verdict?"
"We have," said the foreman.
The Judge opened a paper bag and
drew out s black cap. With nn Im
portant look around the courtroom he
placed this on bis bead and pulled it '
down until it met his ears.
"rrlsoner," he said, "arise nnd look
at tho Jury. Jury, nrlse and look at the
prisoner. Gentlemen, what is your
verdict?"
The Jurymen, who had been whisper
ing to each other, nodded cheerfully
at the prisoner.
"Not guilty," said the foreman.
"Of course," he said later, when ev
ery one hnd sunken the Innocent man's
hand, "he was guilty all right, and
that was going to be our verdict, but
when the little Judge put thnt black
cap on his head nnd pulled it down
over his enrs like that there was only
one tiling for us to do, and we did it"

They Ars a Distinctive Feature of ths
Mexican View.
There Is no country bettor worth vis
iting than Mexico. It Is very striking
in crossing the border from the United
States to noto how completely every
thing changes. Here there hardly
seems anything man hns constructed
which harmonizes with Its surround
ings; there everything seems to be en
tirely a part of tho country. It is
moro foreign than Europe Is now and
constantly reminds one of the east.
Riding In some of tho little traveled
districts, I could hardly believe that I
was not lu India. The dust In the
road, the thorn scrub on both sides,
with that pungent smell of the blos
soms, all reminded me of the country
about Ahmertnbnd. The plateau In
winter, the dry season, la very much
like the desert long stretches of coun
try, with pnrple mountains In the dis
tance, without a tree in sight except
where there Is a town or where irri
gation has kept a little green and a
few trees have booh planted. Often
the horizon Is so distant that the
mountains melt Into" the sky, and per
haps one catches a glimpse of the snow
on one of the volcanoes. The color Is
that of its own Mexican opal greens,
blues and reds. "
Everywhere- the distinctive features
are the church towers and tiled domes
rising above the towns. The exteriors
of these churches are always pictur
esque and interesting, but the Interiors
are usually disappointing, for they
have suffered much during many revo
lutions and perhaps even more from
senseless renovations. There are a
few still untouched, where one can see
them as nearly all were once, entirely
covered with richly carved wood heav
ily gilded. Gold was used thickly ev
erywhere till the carving looked like
