BANK Of ENGLAND ODDITIES
II
Curiosities Which Include Note for
$500. 600, Written in Ink.

Among tile curiosities which are occa-
sionally showed to favored visitors are
some specimens of ancient notes, num-
Der of themfor denominations no longer
in vogue, such as 81, e15 and e25.
There is alsp carefully preserved the old
est surviving nQte, one OF the year 1879,
the amount being written with ink, says
the Pail Mall Budget. Another curiosity
is note fol 81 ,O0D,00O, which was re
quired for sDme transaction between the
bank and government, but in this case,
too, the amount iswritten with the pen.
The longest timeduring which a note
has remained Outside tie bank is Ill
years. 1t was fore25 and it is comput-
ed that the compound interest during
that long period amounted to no less
than $4,000. Thae is quite labyrinth
of vaults where The disused notes are
stored until they lave reached the neces-
sary> maturity of i've years. They are
estimated to weigh ninety oBe tons, and
number about "a $4,000, filling Is, 400
boxes, and Wer5se Of the original value of
81, 75O, 626,69D. The bank of England
note is a legal tender for any amount in
excess of its ace value, but not for less.
Thus person might refuse(to take a SO
note in payment of debt Of ga los Cd,
though, as a natter of fact, nobody would
be so foolish Is to. do so. 1t must be re-
membered tint bank notes are only legal
tender as between members Of the public,
so long as the bank pays in gold on de-
mand. If sud- an unlikely thing were to
happen as the bank being unable to re-
deem it's pronisSs fopay, then its notes
would at onceceAse to he legal tender.
Even as it is, heir legal tender quality
does not exte1d to Ireland or Scotland.

How'll May be Done'
y, All the careful mothers Of the land who
have been excited by the discussions con-
earning milk as circulating disease Will
sreioice to hear therule formulated by the
bVteaalQf animal Industry at Washington
for sterilizing milk.
These directions state that the milk to
be sterilized for the use Of children should
be placed in aperfectly clean bottle, which
is to be put inside any convenient metal
vessel, into which cold water should be
poured until 1t reaches the level OF the
milk in the bottle. The mouth OF the bot
tie should be closed, not with a cork, but
with plug OF clean white cotton 1t Will
be found more convenient in practice to

ALesson in Lion-Taming.

young with them,' said Philadelphia,
the wellknown lion-tamer, "and exercis-
ing boundless patience in accomplishing
your purpose. Let me tell you how !
had to train this lion, Black Prince. He
was caught in the jungles of Africa near
ly four years ago, and landed in Liver
pool savage cub, much more savage by
nature than the ordinary lion at the age
of ten months Then took him and be-
gan the task of tanning him. He was in
a small cage, and talked to him and
stood in front of the bars for severa!
days, feeding him bits of meat;' for, as is
usually the case, he had ceased drinking
milk since he was six months old. After
he had got to know me little went into
the cage, carrying wooden club In each
hand. The first time | entered he
sprang at my throat, as his fierce instinct
taught him to do. gave him two or
three good raps over the head and TANKS,
and ne went back, not roaring, but MAX
ing the Understanding purr peculiar to
to young lions. Then he came at me
again and again. / used my clubs, but
not too hard, avoiding hurting him bad
ly, and being careful not to strike him
on the back, for young lions back is
easily broken. After feeling the club
several times he kept away from me,
and went into corner of the cage sulk7.
ing. sat down on a box and looked at
him. | sat there an hour, two hours,
three hours. Now and then he moved a
little and purred savagely. Once he
sprang at me again, and got the club as
before. At the end of the three hours
threw him some meat and left the cage.
1.-THE next morning / went into the
cage again, and the same scenes were re-
peated.
DAY after day I spent the whole
morning sitting in the cage, waiting for
him to show some signs of more friend
ly spirit. A month passed, two months,
before he would come forward and take
bit of meat fastened on stick, when
offered it to him. That was only small
step, you might think, in tanning lion.
/ knew that it was great step; 1t was
the beginning of the end. Soon he
would take the meat quite readily from
the stick, and at last from my hand,
without snapPing at me. This, however,
was an experiment did not make too
often, for lions, like all cats, are treaeh-
erous. After that the next step was to
put my hand on his back or sides. A
lion always resents being touched; in
fact. is frightened at having a mans
hand laid on him. Lions, indeed, show
fierceness ON most occasions, as much
because they are frightened as because
they are savage. After had touched
him worked up to thejpolnt Of putting
a chain around his neck. When that
was done / had accomplished a great
deal, and was soon able to lead him a.
round the cage, holding the chain in my
hand.
"W hen had got so far I knew that
the time was come when I would be able
to tie Black Prince down to the floor.
It is always necessary to do this in tam
ing lion or tiger-for what applies to
one applies to both-in order that the
trainer may accustom the beast to being
stroked with the hand."- From wild

When planting corn it should be the
object to secure not only the same
yield per acre as last year, but some
thing more. 1t will cost no more to
get an extra ten bushels per acre than
it will the regular crop, if Judgment is
given the cultivation of the land.
Grass and weeds are the agents which
reduce the yield.
Saving u horses strength without
reducing service is great art. Trot-
ting through sandy or muddy places
and on rising ground eXhausts a
horse rapidly. Drive slow through
such pitfalls.
Bees never make an attack while in
quest of honey or on their return un

Green wood PM On NOfice-

II is rumored that q recanvass is to be made
Of Donald's Township, soliciting names Of our
citizens In behalf of the new county of Green
wood. AS to this, we like 1t better than the
proposal and condition heretofore approved
by l4G voters.
Ist. We would ask the promoters to suggest
q time and place To be fixed, and have the
case ventilated for the citizens of Donalds In
formation, as they are To set as jurors TO try
this case. The verdict then would be clear
and decisive. either for or against. No fence
straGlers III you please.
The best Information now is, that the pro-
posed new county will be nearly sixty miles
long-breadth about fifteen miles. Nine.
tenths OF all those who signed the former Pc
titiOn are opposed to breaking up the old
County as now proposed by Messrs. burst,
