PROFIT eY LOSS
The Bank of England Makes Money In
This Way.


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 its bank notes.
What it 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 n clear profit Of
f1,330,000 from outstanding paper
never likely to be presented for pay
ment. When the destruction or the
irrecoverable loss of Q note can he
proved. as in the event of fire or a
wreck it can, the bank, of course, will
always pay the money it represents;
and even when there is doubt about
it, the cash is paid on security being
given for indemnifying the bank should
the note ever be presented.
Many years ago a bank director lost
a note for 100000. But being 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 man had
long been dead. the paper was present
ed. 1t was payable on demand. and
had come from abroad in the ordinary
way of business, and the sum it rep
resented 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 1eason
could not be enforced, the bank on
that occasion had to put 100000 on the
debit side of the account. For once in
a way they paid double honor to a bit
of their own paper.
There isanother story of sum Of
100000 which the bank in its early days
for short time refused to hand over
in exchange for its own notes. They
were presented by a Jew, whose asser-
ton that he had bought them was not
disputed, and whose personal integrity
was above suspicion. They had, how
ever, 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 abroad that
the bank was shaky, and couldn't cash
it's notes. and as he backed his asser-
ton by displaying his indisputable pa.
per. the assertion would in all proba-
bility soon have caused a run on the
bank, and in a few minutes q messen-
ger came to say that the notes would
be cashed if he would present them
again.-London News

p.,rrTree. I'm Cuba

The royal palm of Cuba consists Of a
tall. straight trunk of very fibrous
nature and supports Il cluster of ten
mated leaves like bunch of plumes on
a long stick The leaves are large and
leathery. These leaves continue to
grow from the center to n great length.
When the leaves cannot grow any more
they drop to the ground from the bot
tom Of the cluster, thus making room
for the new ones which are always
coming out of the center. 1t also yields
in the proper season yellow flowers.
The fruit cannot he eaten.

Glove Cutters.

The cutters of the great glove houses
at Brussels and in France earn even
higher wages than the cutters Of the
most fashionable tailors in London and
New York. So difficult is the art OF
cutting gloves that most of the princi-
pal cutters are known to the trade by
name and by fame, and the peculiar
knives which they use in the business
are so highly priced that they are hand
ed down from generation to generation
as heirlOoms.

The Critic Answered. .

An acute critic calls attention to what
ne styles an inelegance in a leading
article of the Pilot 1t is that in which
the following sentence occurs: "And
Paul said: But l was born So We
are sorry it is inelegant. but it must
stand as it is; for 1t happens to be the
exact words of the New Testament,
chapter XIII, verse 2S. of the Acts of
the Apostles. The Pilot never tries to
improve upon the language of Holy
Writ. Some afternoon. when we have
reformed all the wrongs in the world,
and pointed out all the faults of all our
neishbOrs. for their reformation, we
may sit down and revise the New Tes-
lament; but it will not be this year,
nor next year. Somewhere along about
1893 we shall inaugurate these import
ant refOrmS.-BOStOn PilOt.

Odd Gift to a Methodist Mission

The gift of a Buddhist temple TO the

convey it by legal deed of gift. The
