Curiosities of the Bank Of England.


Some of the curiosities of the Bank
of England are well worth describing.
In the printing room man sits at o
little table, and every three seconds a
machine hands him two complete five-
pound notes. If he sits there six
hours he receives over seventy thou
sand pounds, and, in 800 days over
twenty millions in paper money! 1t
is strange duty for a man to have to
perform-to sit at table to receive
from machine twenty millions q
year!
The vaults where the gold is stored
are still more curious. In the ante
chamber to the gold kings throne
room are few men attired in almost
medieval costume, commanded by a
very modern parsonage, who wears a
frock coat and silk hat. The latter,
with the assistance of another, who is
also sprucely dressed, unlocks the
iron gates of the vault. Around the
we'll white-washed cellar are arranged
trolleys, upon each of which rest bars
of pure gold to the amout of ESQ, 600,
the particular vault to which visitors
are admitted containing two millions
worth of bullion. Through the thick
wall can just be heard the confused
murmur of the myriads above, who are
hurrying, working and worrying,
eagerly endeavoring to obtJn some
trifle of the treasure which rests so
placidly on the trolleys. Has there
ever yet been millionaire miser who
has built for his gold such throne
room? and did he sit there through
the days thinking out the good AMI all
the evil which these millions might be
made to do? But millionaires are sell
dom imaginative.
In another vault every note which
is returned is stored for five years, and
here is kept one, for twenty-five
pounds, which stayed away for hun
dred years. 1t has been calculated
that during that period the loss on the
note in interest amounted to over six
thousand pounds. London Truth.

Apples and Asparagus.

Oregon apples have made an excel
lent reputation this year with the
Chicago people who are in the habit
of using the best fruit. Just at pres
ent the sorts most in demand for table
use are the Roman beauties, which
are as fine in quality as they are large
and beautiful in appearance. The
winesaps, which in Oregon grow much
larger than east of the Rockies and
are more handsomely colored, are also
an attractive favorite. Both sorts are
selling at 81 per peck. The lady
apples, strictly fancy table sort,
also meet with more favor than the
eastern apples, both on account of
quality and coloring. White asparagus
from California is arriving in better
condition than the trade has ever be-
fore seen, 1t is almost as tender as
butter, and is quite palatable. Sales
are made at 90 to 80 cents per bunch.
The supply of California cauliAower
is fast becoming exhausted. 1t is of
fine quality and color, and sells at re.
tail at 10 to % cents per head.
Cucumbers grown in northern hot.
houses are retailing at 20 to % cents
each for the ordinary variety, and 80
to 40 cents for the long English seed
less sort. California artichokes are in
moderate request at 81 to SO per dozen.

NO WOMAN IS EXEMPT.

Regularity matter OF Importance
in every woman's life. Much pain is.
however, endured in the belief that 20
is necessary and not alarming, when
in truth it is all wrong and indicates
arrangement that may cause serious
trouble.
Excessive monthly pain itself will
unsettle the nerves and make women
old before their time.
The foundation of woman's health Is
a perfectly normal and regular per-
formance OF natures function. The
statement we print from Miss GER
TRuDE SIKEs, of Eldred, Pa, is echoed
in every city, town and hamlet in this
country. Read what she says:
"DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM:-I feel like
new person since following your ad-
vice, and think it is my duty to let the
public know the good your remedies
have done me. My troubles were pain
ful menstruation and leucorrh9a. /
was nervous and had spells of being
confused. Before using your remedies
never had any faith in patent medi-
cines. now wish to say that l never
had anything do me so much good for
painful menstruation as Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound; also would
say that your Sanative Wash has cured
me of leucorrhea. / hope these few
words may help suffering women"
The present Mrs. Pinkham's expert
ence in treating female ills is unparal-
leled, for years she worked side by
side with Mrs. Lydia E. Pinkham, and
for sometime past has had sole charge
of the correspondence department of
her great business, treating by letter
as many as q hundred thousand ailing
women during single year.
All suffering women arc invited to
write freely to Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn,
Mass, for advice about their health.

From the 6Izetie, Dsiacdre, Ohio.
The healthfulness OF bicycle riding for
women is still disputed question between
eminent physicians and health re formers.
Used in moderation 1t su'ely creates for
women a means of outdoor exercise, the
benefit OF which all physicians concede.
Used to excess. like any other pastime, its
effect Is likely to be dangerous.

Pot Cheese.

There are few more relishsble coun-
try dishes than pot cheese; but only a
minority of persons know how to make
it to perfection. The milk is allowed
to become too sour, or there is a
trihing mustiness in the flavor, or it is
too dry and chippy, or so wet that it
is soggy and unpleasant to the taste.
In its perfection it should be light,
creamy, and with just enough acid to
give it a distinct character, but not
enough to suggest sour staleness. The
milk should be used as soon as it be-
comes curdled. If it must be accumu-
lated, it should be kept in very cool
place, and carefully covered. When
sufficient quantity is ON hand, mix
well and put in warm place. Sweet
skim milk may be added to that which
is curdIed, and if kept warm win soon
become thick also. Then it should be
placed in kettle, OF suitable dish, and
set in pan of warm water on the back
of the range; place wire rack or an
inverted pie-pan under the kettle to
keep the milk from scorching and
sticking to the bottom of the kettle.
Within few minutes, usually, as soon
as it begins to heat, the curd aAl whey
will separate. Allow the W. to be-
come scalding hot, them move the
dish from the fire, a1(when cool
enough to handle, pourthe entire con-
tents into bag or cloth, and hang it
up to drain. When firm and dry
enough to handle without dripping,
work smooth with a spoon, and add
little butter or cream, salt, and dust
of Pepper if desired, and serve with
watercresses. es.-New York Ledger.

With the bloem and beauty of the season,
Its balmy airs and delightful temperature,
we feel like living with new life, and are
therefore often very careless in taking care
Of ourselves. 1t is this forgetiQlness that
lays us liable to attacks of rheumatism, the
more liable because we think there is little
danger OF its coming on, but rheumatism is
an easy thing to take and sometimes hard

Spring Medicine
A Good Blood Purifier a Neces-
sity Now
Hoods sarsapariIla Unequalied
for Making Rich, Rel Blood

The necessity for taking good Spring
Medicine to purify the blood and build up
the system is based upon natural and un-
avoidable causes. In cold weather there
has been less perspiration and Impurities
have not passed out of the system as they
should. Food has consisted largely Of
rich, fatty substances, and there has been
less opportunity for outdoor exercise.
The result is, the blood ig loaded with i'm
purlties and these must be promptly ex-
pelled or health will be endangered.
Hoods Sarsaparilla is the best Spring
Medicine because it is the best blood
purifier and tonic. 1t thoroughly puri1es
