PROFIT IN LOSS OF ITS NOTES.
Source Of Steady and Enormous Income
to the Bank of England.

Source of Steady and Enormous Income
to the Bank of England.
1t is a 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,
says London News. What it has gain
ed of late years in this way we are I'M
able to say, but during a period of
fifty years preceding 1882, the bank had
made a clear profit of $780, 900 from
outstanding paper never likely to be
presented for payment. When the
destruction or the i~rrecoverable loss of
a note can be proved, as in the event
of a fire or wreck it can, the bank, of
course, will always pay the money 1t
represents, and even when there is
doubt about it, the cash is paid on Sc
curity being given for indemnifying the
bank should the note ever be present.
ed. The ESQ, 900 worth of paper-or $780,
900, as it appears to have been reduced
to-taken from the Parr bank, will
therefore not represent a loss unless
the crisp little billets have some day
to be honored at the Bank of England
counter. In that case the cash
paid in exchange for them will
have to come out Of the Golfers of the
plundered bank. Many years ago a
bank director lost a note for 100000.
But being a man of credit and as there
was no doubt about the loss Of the
bill, he gave the usual indemnity and
got the money. Many years after, when
the mar had been dead, the paper was
presented. It was payable on de-
mand and had come from abroad in
the ordinary way of business and the
sum it represented had to be handed
over, and as the indemnity that had
been given was repudiated by the
heirs of the man who had given it
and for some reason could not be en-
forced the bank on that occasion had
to put ESQ, 900 on the debit side of the
account. For once in a way they paid
the double honor to a bit of their own
paper. There is another story of a
sum of ego, 600, which the bank in it's
early days for a short time refused to
hand oye in exchange for it's own
notes. They were presented by a Jew,
whose assertion that he had bought
them was not disputed, and whose per-
sonal integrity was above suspicion.
They had, however, undoubtedly been
stolen and on that ground the bank
refused to pay the money. The Jew
went out into the city and began to
spread it about that the bank
was shaky and couldn't cash his notes
and, as he backed the assertion by dis
playing his i%ndisputable paper, the as
sertion would in all probability soon
have caused a run on the bank and in
a few minutes a messenger came to
say that the notes would be cashed if
he would present them again.

him but so much blank space, that
patch of sky.

meaning, as he noticed that it was
often the background for a picture-a

with a little tip-tilted nose and tender
curves Of cheek and chin and waving

LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT.
Two Famous Examples of 1t Were Bis
marCk and Garibaldi.

marck and Garibaldi.
One is always afraid that when a
man falls suddenly in love he may fall
out of it equally quickly, but among
celebrated men of the century who
have fallen in love at first sight and
married happily are Garibaldi and
Bismarck. In Garibaldi's a%utobiogra-
ply the story OF his love is told. He
relates. how, feeling the need of some
one who would love him, and believ-
ing women to be "the most perfect
beings" he determined to seek a wife
for himself. He was then pacing the
deck of the ltanarica, and he CHANGED
to look upon the houses of the Barra,
a little hill at the entrance of the
Laguna Of st. Catherine, in Brazil.
With the aid of a glass which he car
rled he saw a young girl, and he or
dered the men to put him ashore. On
landing he tried to find the house
which he had seen from the ship, but
failed, and, meeting an acquaintance.
he accepted an invitation to take cof-
fee a. his house. On entering the
house." says Garibaldi, 'the first per-
son on whom my gaze fell was the
one who had caused my coming ashore.
1t was Anita, the mother of my chill

was equally brief. Bismarck met and

should say: at was as If some one
had struck me on the head with a

love being evidently returned. the
lady's parents invited him to visit
them that they might know some
thing more about him than report told
them. At the time Of his arrival the
parents were ready to greet their guest
with proper solemnity, and their
daughter stood by with downcast eyes.
Bismarck rode up, and, hastily alight-
ing, threw his arms around his sweet
hearts neck and kissed her before any
one had time to protest. The result
was a formal betrothal. The Iron

tale, and he generally added to it the
remark: ut is she who made me

THE USEFUL CAMEL.
Something About the Abstinence of This
. Remarkable Animal.

Remarkable Animal.
There are many fables told about the
camel; riding him is supposed to make
people seasick; he has the reputation
of being very vicious; he is supposed
to have several stomacns and to go for
weeks without water as a matter Of
choice. l can only say that in nearly
four years Of experience l have never
net with a case of seasickness or heard
of it; neither have l known a really
vicious camel, except when. they are in
a state called by the Arabs 'saim,"
which means fasting" and CORE
spends to the "rutting" period in
stays. AS regards the cancels stomach,
l believe it is identically the same as
that Of any other ruminant. or that, at
any rate, there is no formation of
stomachs which would enable him to
do without water. His abstinence Is
merely the result OF training, and 1t is
a fallacy to suppose that he is better
without water or can work as we'll. In
the camel corps we watered our camels
every second day in the summer, every
third day in the winter, giving them
their fill Of water morning and even
ing on those days; but If in the sum-
mer we expected a long desert march
without water, we trained them be-
forehand by only watering every third
day, but I never found that this i'm
proved their condition. The Arabs
keep their camels longer without
water, it is true, but then they travel
slower and their animals are grazed on
soft food, containing a certain amount
of moisture; this lowers their condi-
ton and makes them inferior to a
corn-fed camel when hard work and
long, fast journeys have to be done.
We always found that il we put a
grass-fed camel alongside Of ours it
failed in work and endurance; If corn
fed it cried out for water as soon and
sooner than ours did. l say 'cried OUT
because a camel when it wants water
means continually, and there is no
more painful sound at night in the
desert than the ceaseless moaning Of
thirsty camels.-Cornhill Magazine.

New Devices In Cameras.

Films on rolls were introduced into
photography to overcome the burden
and trouble of carrying a lot Of glass
plates in p~lateholders. Films are not
as capable of fine negatives as glass
plates, however, and now the leading
makers of Photographic materials are
offering cameras which carry a dozen
plates, each of which can be moved
after being exposed to the rear of the
camera and out of harms way by
means of a flexible leather bag at
tached to the side or top CT the instru-
ment.

The young officer strobe along the
echoing corridors with hasty steps. His
heart was hot within him and he was
ashamed to find tears in his eyes.
But when he reached the great
doorway he hesitated.

her this way. Without a word OF
thanks for the tender nursing she had

ungrateful.
Swiftly he turned and retraced his
steps.
The door OF the little room where he
had lain so long was partly closed
when he reached it. What If she had

With a beating heart he pushed the
door open softly and went in.
And there she was-the stout-hearted
young woman who had so bravely sent
him forth to his duty and so sturdily
kept to hers. with her head on the pill
low-his pillow-crying her heart out,
just like any other unhappy girl.
A moment he stood transixed.
Then in one bound he crossed the
narrow room and took her in his
arms, and as their lips met two ca
reers that might have been melted into
thin air and disappeared forever.-Ed
