It may lie 'remarked, by the way. that Mrs. Jenkins with the cunning natural to such an admirable manager, had not whisiiered a word of her ulterior ilesigus to the landlady, blic even cautioned her daughter not to address the nobleman by his title iu the hearing of any one else.

As he s:tw tho numerous dainties spread out before him he felt a glow of joy prevade hi frame, ami determined' on the spot to lay siege to tlie heart of Matilda.

She thought of going to tlie bookseller and asking him to send for the book, but on second thought decided that it would lie most prudent not to run any such risk of revealing her aspirations, even if she wore obliged to remain in ignorance n little while lunger. One pniut, however, puzzled her a little. Notwithstanding the very intimate term of the earl with her family, ho never ventured any allusion to his rank nr his English estates or the amount of hi income, which Mrs. Jeukins would have been very glad to learn. But, I suppose, Matilda," ahe remarked to her daughter, that ha ia determined to remain incog, ao aa to make sure that you marry him for himself alone. 1 have read of such cases in stories, bnt I never expected to have anything like it in uiy own family. Ke'aily, I think it ia quite roiuantlo. Ou the whole I guess it would be best to say nothing about it until you are fairly married."

Europe is filled with business, aud particularly with financial establiali-menwhich have weathered tbe storms of more than a century and which promise to co on without accident until their conductors nnd owners nre reedy to liquidate. The English aud French tradesmen nre especially fond of nutting upon their signs dates which snow that several generations have carried on the business at the old stand. Even the modest restaurant-keepe- r in London delight lo tell you that you are dining in the same room where Dr. Johnson used to discuss and where Noll" Goldsmith drank whisky punches when ho had any money. Banks in Europe hava always been honored in exact proportion to tbe duration of their existence. One of banks ia history was the longest-live- d alto the first institution founded in Europe. It was the Bank of Venice, which was founded in 1171, originally organized to support tlie costly wars which Venice was censtautly carrying u, on. For long centuries, until 1797, when the Venetian Republic was overthrown, this bank remained the symbol ol fiusncial integrity and solidity. The Bank of Genoa, founded in 1407. lasted until the first veer of the i rescut century. The Boult of Barca-onin Spain, is still in operation after 400 years of business. Few people know that it was in this bank that the system of negotiation of billa of exchange originated. Amsterdam's principal bank, founded in 1609, lasted until the French ruined it when they iuraded Holland in 1794. because the directors had lent Holland a large sum of money. The Bank of Hamburg is still alive and flourishing although it was founded before the Pilgrims lauded on Rock. There are numerous banks in Holland, Germany and Sweden which date from the seventeenth century. The vigorous old lady" of Thread-needl- e street, tlie Bank of England, has been going since the day of William and Mary (1694), aud owee its origin to the difficulty the government experienced in raising fund to conduct its war with France. The Banque de France, which bad the honor of lauding money to the "old lady" during tlie panic the other day, dates from 1714, and its present charter extends to 1897. Its governor ia appointed by tha general government. After the Bank of England, the oldest public banks in Great Britain are the Bank of Scotland (1693) and the Bank of Kewcastie-on-Tyn- e (1733). The Roval Bauk of Prussia has flourished for 133 years. Private banking housea of worldwide celebrity are comparatively young when placed side by side with the state institutions. The Rothschilds may be said practically, to date from 1806, when the Elector William, after the invasion of his states by tho French, deposited about $6,000,000 for safe keoplng will: Mayer Anselm Rothschild iu Frankfort. This house, which spread to Frankfort, Vienna, London. Naples and Paris, and whose heads became barono, was comparatively obscure before the end of the last century. Tbe Barings went to England from Bremen in the first part of the eighteenth century. Many of the old private banks, especially in England, have been merged in joint stock companies. Some of the oldest English banka have unclaimed deposits belonging to dead aud gone people amounting to hundred of thousands of pounds. One institution in London has 700.000 of these deposits on its books, and some aay this must finally bo declared clear or arch-duckli- Fly-mou- th ed r, at well-kno- at profit.
