Is it true that Scotc'man can never
be employed in the Bank of England.
London? J gentleman who has Travelled
in England and Scotland a number of
times recently made the following state
ment:
mo Scotchman has ever been employed
in the Bank of England either as a clerk
or in any subordinate capacity for the
reason that the English controllers Of the
bank believe that if they once admitted
Scot TO the bank he would eventually
control its affairs In fact it may be
said. going in another direction. that no
Hebrew can make a livelihood in Scot
land for the reason that the Scot is quite
as acute in financial ana commercial mat
ttrs lis the Hebrew, and even more so.
This statement may be a little hazy, but
what | wish to say to you is this-the
controllers of the Bank of England would
not admit a Scot to any place in the bank
any more than they would a Hebrew for
the reason chat the Scot and the Hebrew
would eventually control this great bul-
wark of English finance. New York

RAINBOW LAND.

From the valley of morn. where teardrops hung,
The glitterins bow OF rromis sprung:
s. near it was plain 70 the dullast sight,
So distant no hand could reach it quite.
And over the hills and far away
1t stretched where the heights ntrodden lay;
But fancy. truer Of eye than truth,
Could see Rainbow Land from the plains Of
youth.
There was gold uncounted in that fair land.
There were shining laurgls and honors grand;
There was love undying and friendship true
Over the mountains bright and blue
But rough and hard was the upward climb
On the treacherous slope OF the hills Of Time;
The laurels we saw from the plain below
We missed ere we reached the line of snow,
And the gold for which we gretdily wrought,
II we found at all, it dearly bought
Few are the eyes that sfS blessed to find
The road to the land whore all are blind,
Where the happiest one is he who lives
Alone for the happiness he gives.
And the only poor is the wretch whose aims
Go begging in VAN for needy palms;
God set its bounds by his realm above,
For Rainbow Land is the land OF love.

sERENELY HAPPY ON INCOME OF 81 A YEAR.

WRITTEN o II SUNDAY REPUBLIC.
There is one woman in New York who is
rich on 81 a year and is an object lesson of
contentment in her daily life. Her address
is. Miss Emily b. Elwell. ward 81. Aims

of her existence are provided for. She has
a roof over her head. food enough TO eat
and garments sufficient for the society in
which she moves.
Three years ago. when she had 10 go to
the Almshouse. she had but one haunting
~fear-that she would fill a pauper's grave.
That fear has been removed. The money
from which her moderate income springs
will be ample TO bury her without city as
sistance.
Miss Elwell was a teacher in the New
York public schools for thirteen years.
Her life was exemplary. her manner was
gentle and l~adylike. nobody dis!iked her.
but she was unfortunate. She had no in
fuent,al friends. and when anybody had
TO be dropped from the list of school teach
ers. she was the one selected. At last the
time came when no place was open for her
to teach in. This was a crisis, for long
years before she had been thrown on her
own resources, and she had been able 10
save very little from the salaries then paid
to primary teachers.

Nursing was the next thing. There were
not 80 many trained nurses thirty years
ago as there are now. and It was perhaps
easier 30 get that sort OF work. Miss Elweil
got It. ard stuck TO It patiently for n few
years. She was kindly and trustworthy.
But a growing tendency toward rhumatism
developed. and 1t was soon unsafe to leave
her In charge of a patient. and unsafe to
put a child iE her arms. because she might

Then she sought and found occupation as n
