LOST BANK OF ENGLAND NOTES.
1t is fact that to many minds no
doubt, must be very curious, that the
Bank of England has always had a
pretty steady source of profit in the loss
and destruction Of it's bank notes.
What 1t has gained of late years in this
way we are unable to say, but during
period of forty years preceding 1882
the Bank had made a clear profit of
81, 100000 from outstanding paper never
likely to be presented for payment.
When the destruction or the irrecovera-
BILE loss of a note can be proved, as in

Is the famous wisdom Of the serpent
greater than the wisdom Of the SPAR
row? A woman in Decatur, Illinois,
who lives near schoolhouse and has
been in the habit of feeding birds, says
that the sparrows have learned some
thing since the sparrow law went into
effect. She says that it is impossible to
get a sparrow to come down from the
tops Of the trees until after school takes
M. She has tried sprinkling crumbs on
+he ground for the sparrows, but they
will not come down until after the
school bell rings. Then they come quite
freely. This story bears out the theory
pf an enterprising boy who thought to
pet a lot of sparrows. He fed them
literally for several days, and got them
IN the habit of coming quite often and
IN numbers to his back yard. Then he
soaked broken grain in arsenic and put
II with the food. The sparrows came
in a great crowd. One sparrow took
I'm one mouthful of the food. gave a
cry. and all flew away, including the
one that gave the alarm. After that he
could get no more Of them to come down
to the yard.

Kaisha, the largest firm in Japan en-

Of that trade the Japanese firm desires

A German paper says that dried liz
ards have become an important article
- >commerce in southern China. The
Expectations are made from the port of
Pakhoi. These lizards are procured
from the town of Nan-nsug. in the pro-
vince Of Kivangsi, where they live in
the earth at depth of three or four
inches. During the night they leave
their holes and are easily caught. In
1896 Pakhoi exported 174,636 lizards, val
ued at $4,000. Dried lizards are used
BY the Chinese in making kind of
soup, and they are also used in medi-
cine as preventive of consumption.
The demand for this medicine is so
large in Hong Kong that it is very
costly.

RAINS CAUSE A RISE,
Upper Potomac Shows Increased
Volume of Water.

Reports from Cumberland and Williams
port, Nd. indicate that the recent rains
have caused rise In the Potomac river
and considerable damage may result. At
Williamsport, last night, it was reported
that there had been a rise of six feet since
Saturday, and the stream was still on the
upgrade. The melting of so much snow
in the mountains. added to the fall Of rain,
has been the means of increasing the vol
tine of water.
The Iowlands along Conococheague creek
are inundated. This stream drains billy
country, and the water in it is running
several feet higher than the Potomac
There had been no reports received at the
weather bureau up to this afternoon in
dicating any dangerous increase in the up
per Potomac and the gauge here did not
show any in the river at this point
