A Brave Captain.

A good story of Prince Paskievitch :
During the war of Warsaw he had or
dered certain Polish battery to be
silenced by his own artillery, and became
perfectly wild with rage on observing
that the artillery fire produced no ap-
preciable effect Galloping to the bat
terry he asked: "What idiot is in charge
herel" 81, sir" answered the officer
Then down you go to the ranks this
very day." said Paskievitch, "you don't
begin to know your trade; your shells
do not explode" 81 know they don't, /"
answered the captain; for the best of
all reasons that they can't explode. +"
"That's lie," said the prince. SIS
it =? See for yourself, then, replied the
officer, coolly picking up a shell from
the pile and lighting the fuse, and hold
ing it up between himself and the mar
shal. The marshal TRANQUILITY crossed
his arms and watched till the fuse sput-
tered and went out. "There, sir" said
the artilleryman, triumphantly, as he
threw the shell on the ground. "You
We're right, after ALL" growled the mar
shal, and rode away to another point of
the line, but at night the captain received
at his tent the cross of st. vladimir for
bravery in the field.

Bank of England Notes,

Few of the persons who handle Bank
OF England notes ever think of the
amount of labor and ingenuity that is
expended on their production. These
notes are made from pure white linen
cuttings only; never from rags that have
been worn. They have been manufac-
tn ed for nearly two hundred years at
the same spot-Laverstoke, in Hamp-
shire, and by the same family, the Por-
tails, who are descended from some
French Protestant refugees. So care
fully is the paper prepared that even the
number of dips into the pulp made by
each workman is registered on dial by
machinery, and the sheets are carefully
counted and booked to each person
through whose hands they pass. The
printing is done by most curious pro-
cess in Mr.. Goes department within the
bank building. There is an elaborate
arrangement for securing that no note
shall be exactly like any other in exist
ence. Consequently there never was a
duplicate of Bank of England note, ex-
cept by forgery. According to the city
press, the stock of paid notes for seven
years is about "a, 600, 900 in number, and
they fill $4,000 boxes, which, if placed
