Twenty years ago Miss Julia must

Rochester, MINI. 1t is three years
since she came to st. Paul.

has his wife with him, and then he

BANK OF ENGLAND NOTES..
Fifteen Hundred Millions Worth
Issued Every Year.

To begin with, the Bank of En-
gland note is of variable thick
ness on the same sheet. In point
of fact the paper is thicker at the
left hand corner to enable it to re-
tain a keener impression of the
vignette there, and it is also con-
siderably thicker in the dark shad-
ows of the center letters and be-
meath the figures at the ends, says
the Brooklyn Eagle. Counterfeit
notes are invariably of one thick
ness only throughout. The print
ing is done from electrotypes-the
figure of Britannia being the de-
sign of Maclise, the late Royal aca-
demician-after the paper has been
first damped with water in the eX-
hausted receiver of an air pump.
Even the printing ink is of a spe-
ciaI make, and is manufactured at
the bank. Comparing genuine
with q spurious note, one observes
that the print on the latter is uSu-
ally tinted with either blue or brown.
On the real note it is a very deep
shade of velvety black. The ink used
in the plate printing is made of
Frankfort black, which is composed
of linseed oil and the charred
husks and some other portions of
Rhenish grapes. The notes are
printed at the rate of 1900 an hour
on a Napier steam press, and the
bank issues 5000, 600 of them a year,
representing roughly about $780,,
000, 600 in hard cash. Each note is
distinguished from all others by the
number and date added to the de-
nomination, and any person possess
ing this information can at the bank
ascertain to whom the note was is
sued. when it was returned to the
bank and who presented it. The
practice of splitting bank notes for
fraudulent purposes has been pre-
vented by the printed surface being
alone made to receive the water
mark. Only the faintest possible
trace of it would be retained on
the split off portion. Each note has
thin, rough edges, uncut, not to be
produced by any mode of cutting
paper that is not made expressly
for the purpose. In addition to the
above precautions there are secrets
connected with the preparation of
the pulp from which the paper is
made, chemical compounds being in
troduced at the time of manufact-
ure, While the water marks are fire.

With the keen eye to business char
acteristic of Andrew Schoch he has
placed at the very back of his i'm
mense establishment the desk Of Miss
Clara Laubach, one of his principal
cashiers. Whoever has once seen her
alluring brown eyes will not fail to
pass through every department of the
store in order to see them again. Miss
Laubach is but sweet SIXTEEN" yet
she has lived long enough to acquire
an unusual mathematical deXterity
and a pair of cherry red lips. She,
like Miss Skok, is also a daughter of
st. Paul, and resides upon the West
side. She is likewise a Kings Daugh-
ter, which is a superfiuous proof that
her moral qualities fully equal her
physical attractions.

We're the first to utilize the magnetic
influence of the pretty female cash
ier. The Acknowledged nation is ever
previous-the first in all things, from
the invention of gunpowder to the
present advance upon Pekin.
St. Paul has its full proportion of
siren mathematicians. They have
many points in common-soft voices,
large dark eyes. angelic patience,
and an adorable habit of puloining
nothing-but hearts Nor do they
ever f1irt. It is surely not easy to be
both beautiful and reliable for ten
to twelve hours a day on salary of
IS to 81 a week. This is more than
successfully accomplished however,
by a number Of st. PauIs lady cash
ie1s. who justly count the people of
an entire city as their friends and adj
mirers.
Susceptible, elderly gentlemen have
been known to take three lunches of
an afternoon at the Delicatessen in
order that they might bask in the
smiles of the cashier-Miss Ella Nc
Kay. Multitudes of young men
complained that the best cup Of

Kay was born in Rockford, H., sew

Are you ever annoyed by mascu-

petual sleighride, wear more jeWelry
than Cleopatra, and eat all the candy

Mr.. Kasota?" she said, with a pleas
ant smile, as a customer entered.
And the reporter, who had begun to
believe that those great, lustrous,
gazel1e eyes had never gazed so
steadily on any other stranger, was
abruptly dropped, and wandered
forth in deep reflection wrapped.
Miss McKay's features are of
rich Oriental coloring, and she is as

A SMART HORSE
Played Fireman and Saved the
Burning Stable.

New York Recorder.
Had it not been for Ben, the big
gray horse belonging to Liveryman
John V. Hubbard, of New Brunswick,
there would have been a disastrous fire
in the Bayard street stables early yes
terday morning. The almost human
intelligence displayed by the animal is
all that prevented a serious calamity
The rain yesterday soaked a good
many carriage carpets and lap robes,
and several carpets were put in the
office to dry. In some way one of the
carpets fell over against the stove
and caught fire This occurred at 2
a. m.
The stableman was asleep in room
at the other end of the stable. Ben,
the horse, broke his halter and went
to the door Of the stableman's room,
opened the door, and, grasping the
mans coat with his teeth, shook him
until he awoke. The stableman, George
Witt, assisted by John Voorhees,, and
his son, threw the burning carpets in
the street. Very little damage was
done, but had the dry wood sheath
ing of the office caught fire the whole
building would doubtless have been
destroyed.

emily, for she wouldn't telD, Miss
Leithold was born in the state of Iowa.
During half that period she has resided
in st. Paul, and is a graduate of the
Madison school. AS a matter of course,
she is a decided favorite socially, being
a member of the Wachepe and several
other dancing clubs. In appearance
she is all delieacy. Her figure is slight
and graceful. Her eyes are large, of a
deep velvet brown, and their earnest
gaze, with the sympathetic lines of
her full, rounded lips, convey an ex-
quisite expression of trusting sincerity
''All our customers are very kind to
me, and I rarely have cause to be an
noyed, but it seems to me that the men
always have more time to talk than the
women. I wonder why that is?" she
said, curling a golden string around a
pink box.
