The earliest bank established in modern ?uropo was that of Venice, which was founded in HOT. It originated in a loan which the state raised during tho great wur of the republic with the (Jrcck empire, 115G-1171. The bank of Genoa was founded about 150 years after tlie bank of Venice. Mncaulay in bis "History of England" has a partial descrip tion of the operations of this hank, which existed from 1320 to 1798. Previous to tbe year 1 (594 there were only four considerable banks in Europe, but on the 27th of July of that year a charter was granted by William and Mary for establish ing the Bank of England, which for opulence and extent of circula tion has for many year, been the grentest in the world. The firs' bank established in the United States is known in financial history us the Pennsylvania bank. It began op^rnting on July 17. 1780, and 6ince that time Pennsyl vania has figured conspicuously in the banking affuirs of the country. Besides being the home of the first bank in the United States, Penn sylvania line the distinction of hav ing the first bank incorporated un der the national banking act. Char ter No. 1 was given to the First National bank of Philadelphia. That state- is also the home of the first trust, company. In 1S09 the Penn sylvania company, a corporation to write insurance on lives and grant annuities, was organized in Phila delphia. In 1836 this institution was authorized to execute trusts. Not until 1853, however, was it empowered to act as executor and administrator.?W. C. Jenkins in National Magazine. Block and Whit* Pepper. "It has always amused me," re marked a botanical expert, "to henr people talking of their preference for black pepper over white _and the various explanations they give for the sarrfe. Little do they know that both black and white pepper grows upon the r'ms shrub. Over the pepper seed grow9 a black cov ering. The seed itself is white, or nearly so. To make black pepper the seed and its external covering are ground up, while the-whito pep per is the seed alone ground up. White pepper is milder than black, th? greater part of the pungency being in tho covering. A popper made of the covering alone would be such, to use u slang term, hot stiui inul it 'W????u b\irn t!,c rr,c.:ih. The black covering of the pepper seed contains the oil."
