Burning Bank of England Notes

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
Numbers of articles descriptive
of the methods of the Bank Of
England are printed in newspaper
and magazines every year, and we
are not aware that any recent
change has occurred as to the
custom of the burning of the bills
that have been circulated and re-
turned to the bank from which
they issued. The destruction Of
the Bank of highlands notes takes
place about once week, and at
Z D. m. 1t used to be done in the
daytime, but made such a smell
that the neighbOring stockholders
petitioned the Government to do
it in the evening. The notes are
previously CanCleed by punching
a hole through the amount lin
figures and tearing of the sigma
ture of the chief cashier. The notes
are burned in a closed furnace,
and the only agency employed is
shavings and bundles of wood.
They used to be burned in cage,
the result of which was that once
aweek the city was darkened with
burned fragments Of notes. For
purposes of reference the notes are
left for five years before being
burned, the number Of notes re-
ceived at the Bank of England
every dayis about 10000, and
$4,000 are destroyed every week or
something like 100000 every
year. The stock of paid notes for
five years is about 77,745,O0O in
number, and they fill 3,4OO boxes,
which if placed side by side,
would reach two and One-third
miles. II the notes were placed in
a pile they would reach to height
Of five and two-thirds miles; or if
joined end to end, would form a
ribbon l2,45O miles long.

Workers Who Ask No Pap.

Walter Besant.
1t would be interesting il we
could get the statistics Of voluu-
tary and unpaid work. l once
investigated the statistics Of a
single parish, and that very poor
one. / found over 100 persons
who gave their work for nothing
to the parish. In fact there are
thousands and tens of thousands
on whom the churches can now
reckon for voluntary work. This
unpaid work is the nineteenth
century Franciscan; he Cor she)
attempts, without vows, what the
predecessor of the thirteenth GEN.
fury attempted with the help of
vows-viz, organized personal
service among the humblest. He
works upon the lowest and most
unpromising material that the
world can show; they are lads far
below the reach Of pOlytechnics;
he attracts them somehow, by
personal magnetism, by force of
character, by skill in the things
that all lads admire he dominates
them. He is perhaps a young
curate of no great intellectual
grasp: but he knows what he has
to do, and he succeeds; or he is
layman who works in an Office all
day. We go back to the grand
discovery of Francis say rather the
Interpretation of Francis that the
great sluggish apathetic mass in
which are born creatures Of hide
Gus mien and malign drain can
only be moved by persons service.
