Birth OF EnyIand's Great Bank.

The Bank of England was projected
in 1884 to meet the difficulty ex-
perienced by William III. in raising
funds for the French war. William
Paterson and Michael Godfrey induced
forty merchants 10 subscribe to loan
of $4,000, 900 TO the Government at
eight per cent, the subscribers being
incorporated AS bank. The scheme
was opposed in Parliament, but the
bill passed aud the charter was granted
July 27, 1894, Sir John houblon being
the first Governor and Michael God
frey the first Deputy Governor. The
bank began active operations July /,
1875, issuing notes and discounting
bills. The notes were for 800 and
upward and the usual rate of discount
WAS six per cent.

THr sHAIaur-our RELIGION.

What the world wants is straight up-and-

Of the day bends this way and that to SUIT the
times. II Is horizontal, with low state OF
sentiment and morals. We have all been
building wall OF character, and IL is i'm
perfect and needs reconstruction. How shall
II be brought into the perpendicular? Only
by divine measurements. The whole ten
dency of the time is TO make US act by tho
standard OF what Others do. II they play
cards, We play cards; If they dance, We
dance; II they read certain styles OF books,
We read them. The question for me should
not be what you think Is right, but what God
thinks is right. This perpetual reference to
the behavior OF others, rs though II decided
anything but human fallibility, Is u mistake

A River Stunned by Indians.

The Wishkah River is stunned by all
Indians. Even when crossing from
the Quiniault or Humptulips country
to the Wynooche they avoid crossing
the Wishkah by going around to the
north of its source. Their tradition is
that many ages ago some great eagle
captured an enormous whale on the
coast and carried it to the head waters
of the river, and that the whales de-
csying body poisoned the entire river,
so that great epidemic came and
killed all the Indians living along the
stream, and the waters of the river are
dangerous even unto this day. From
this tradition the beautiful river has
its unsavory name, which in the Indian
tongue, means "Stinking waters. -
