matter of two days behind time. and
now appears to have let go some four or
five days before II ought TO. The storm
of yesterday was in many respects a very
good imitation of the one that swept
this section of the country on the 18th of
April, 1893. though not partaking so
much Of the elements of the blizzard as
the storm of a year ago. In both there
was an unusual fall Of snow. a fierce
wind that drove tue snow in binding
sheets. and piled it up in impossible
drifts wherever any windbrake made an
eddy, and durir- the greater portion of
both storms the temperature was above
freezing The storm of yesterday is now

Bank Notes That Vanish.

The Bank Of England some time ago
presented a return to the house of COM
mons showing that there were notes of
theirs to the amount of nearly SIC, 900
that were issued more than 40 years ago
and had never been presented for pay
ment. Bank notes, like other slips of
paper, occasionally get destroyed by &C
cident. They get consumed when a
house takes fire, and not a few are lost
when ships founder at sea. Occasionally
one may have heard of their being eaten
by rats, and there is at least ne story
current of a young spendthrift who,
when out shooting with An old muzzle
loader, in a sudden emergency used q
couple Of bank notes as wadding for his
gun.-London News.
