Out III GrOW township, says the
Anoka (aIinn.) Vnion, there lc.
des man and wife, their names wo
shall not disclose, who have been
married but few years. In these
few years they have lived together
there have arisen differences, and
they don'5 like each other rs we'll as
they ought TO. These differences
frequently lead to open hos;i,ilics,
and, as neither tho ono or the other
likes to give up, they quarrel most
furioua.y. One day last week
trouble began once more, and re-
elimination followed recrimination,
until the husband, seizing pitcher
of milk that was standing in close
proximity. remarked, cmphaticully
and touchingIy, Lucy, if you do
not stop scoldiny, I shall certainly
empty the contents Of this pitchoc
on you" Lucy paid no heed to the
threat, when, alas tho contents of
the pitcher came upon her. Of
course this made tho now thorough
ly irate Lucy boiling. The hus-
band then seized a pail of water
said: "Lucy, if you 3rnt stop
scolding, I shall certainly throw
this water on you" Iscy again
needed not the threat, and received
tho water in consequence. This
but added insult to injury, and
Lucky waxed more wratby than
ever. Then the husband caught I'D
q pail of sonpsuds and cried, ''I,ucy,
if you don't stop, 7 shall certainly
douse You with these suds." The
soapsuds threat also failed to have
any effect, and she was treated with
soapsuds. BY this time the lady
was wet to the skin, and hastily re,
treated to her sleeping apartments
to Change her clothing, all the while
scolding to the best of her ability.
The husband hastencd to the we'll
and drew up two pals of water,
and, on returning, informed Lucy
that the cold water was for her
Cold water had the desired effect,
and Lucy surrendered, and now we
understand that all is serene once
more, how long to last, no ono
knows.
BANK OF ENGLAND NorEs.-Few of
tho persons who handle Bank of
England notes ever think of tho
amount of labor and ingenuity that
is expended OH their production.
These notes are made from pure
whito linen cuttings, mover from
rags that have been worn. Thew
have been manufactured for nearly
two hundred years by the same
family, tho Portals, Protestant
refugees. So carefully is the paper
prepared that even tho number of
dips into the pulp made by each
workman is registered on dial by
machinery, and the sheets are caro-,
fully counted and booked to eacs,
person through whose hands they
pass. The printing is dono by q
most curious process in Mr.. Coos
department within the bank build
ing. Thcro is an elaborate arrange
mont for securing that no note
shall bo exactly like any other in
existence. Consequently there
never was duplicate Of Bank
England note, except by forgery,
According 10 the CITY Press, the
stock of paid notes of seven wears
is about 94,000,000 in number. and
they fill $4,000 boxes, which, if
placed side by side, would reach
three miles. The notes, placed in o
pile, would bo eight miles high; or.
if joined end to end would form q
ribbon $4,000 miles long; their
superficial extent is more than that
Of Hyde Park !; their original value
was over S15,OOO,OOO, and their
