truth. The countryside was in fer

inhabitants wonderfully docile. Nobody

As a matter of fact, whether lost or stolen,
the note will always be paid at the bank.
This point was finally settled many years
ago by the theft of 10000 in notes by the
principal clerk in one of the London banks.
He escaped to Holland, and there disposed
of the notes to a jew. The theft, with the
numbers of the notes, was widely advertised
for six months. After that period the jew
appeared with them and demanded payment.

change and raised an cutlery. The bank,
he said, had refused to, pay its own notes.
and was clearly insolvent. In a very few
minutes a clerk appeared to invite him
back to the cashiers office, and his claim,
as well as the question which 1t raised, was
settled for all time.
Nearly all the stolen notes in England
are returned through -bookmakers. These
gentlemen do business on race courses, and
have no means of tracing persons who deal
with them. They suffer no loss through
the stolen paper, and are very generally
used in this way by the thieves.
One of the directors in 1740 deposited $780,
600, and took a single note, filed out by the
cashier, in return. He went home. laid the
note on the mantelpiece, and fell asleep.

guarantee that if the note was found he
would assume its responsibility. Thirty
years afterward. the man having in the
meantime died, the note was presented. and
the bank had to pay it; and as the mans
estate had long been divided. the bank
lost the money.

BLooMERs WILL BE WORN.
Many Women Have Already Given
Their Orders for the New Costume.

Many Women Have Already Given
Their rders for the New Costume.
The present indications point to the fact
that the bloomer has come to stay, and in
the future will be the riding habit of a
large proportion of the women. From all
over the country come reports of discus
sions Of costumes by women's cycling clubs,
and in most cases the final decision is that
the bloomer shall rule. In some cities it was
not unusual to see boomers during the lat
ter part of last season. This year hardly a
town that boasts of women riders will be
without the new costume. The matter has
been discussed by the women members of
Philadelphia and New York clubs and the
result is that an organized movement will
be made to induce enough women to wessr
bloomers to make them one OF the common
sights on the streets and. therefore, not at
all noticeable. Inquiry among the bicycle
dealers reveals the fact that many women
have engaged diamond frames for mounts
for the coming season. This is the surest
evidence that the troublesome skirt is
doomed to old maids and prims in the
future. With the diamond frame. bloomers
or divided skirts vii. be necessary. ana the
former is the forerunner Of tbs latter. The
