Big Year for Defenders.

The largest number of candidates for
defense of the cup built in one year
was brought out by the challenge OF
Valkyrie II in 1893. Two syndlcates
in New York and one in Boston entered
the lists, while Gen. Paine, single-hand-
ed. also came to the front. One of the
New York syndicates, led by Commo-
dore E. D. Morgan of the New York
Club and c. Oliver Iselin, ordered the
Tobin bronze centerboard sloop Vigil
liant from the Herreshoffs, who two
years earlier had introduced a new type
of yacht in the GlOriana, built for
Commodore Morgan. The other New
york syndicate, of which Archibald
Rogers was the head, ordered also from
the Herreshoffs the steel keel sloop

A PENNY NOTE.
Bank of England Once Issued a
Paper of That Denomination.
From Tit-Bits


Paper of That Denomination.
From Tit-Bits.
When the Bank of England COM
menced business in 1894, with a staff Of
fifty-four clerks, all of whom worked
in single room and the directors
with them, no one imagined that it
would develop into the great national
institution it is to-day. And it's ca
reer, extending over two centuries. has
brought it in touch with a wealth of
romance, relics of which may be found
in that department of the bank with
which the public is least familiar
namely, it's museum.
How many people know that the
bank once issued a note for panny?
although it should be explained that
this was entirely due to an error. But
the penny note went into circulation
all the same and only by Offering a
reward of 85 was the bank able to get
1t back again before it passed into the
hands of the curio collectors. This
note is still preserved in one of the
albums, and in another are some of
the curious notes which saved the bank
IN 1745. In that year a great run on
the funds took place-so great, in fact
that it was thought that the bank
would be unable to meet it; but the
directors in the nick of time sent a
number of their clerks into the crowd
to present notes which were paid in
slXpences, thus giving the officials time
TO prepare for the demand for specie
Another curiosity is a note for 81 O00.-
600, which is the only one of that value
ever printed; while there is also a note
Which was in circulation for nearly $50
years before it was presented.
Specimens of all the forged notes
which have been uttered from time to
time by the INSCRIPTIONS are kept and
their value aggregates several million
pounds, While notes brought from the
wreck of the Eurydice and one taken
from the stomach of an enormous cod
flsh captured off the coast of Green
land are among the banks most valued
treasures.
There are hundreds of specimens of
curious coins which have been return
ed to the bank from all parts Of the
world, or found in the testing machine.

soVerelgns day. and automatically
rejects any which have become light.
The museum library contains all the
old ledSers which have been used by
the bank since it was first opened, and
they number 10000, while another set
of volumes gives a record of every
member Of the staff who has ever
served at the bank. There are also
10000 volumes of all kinds for the use
of the staff, some of which are so rare
that the same number of sovereigns
would not purchase the collection.
The bank has it's own churchyard adj

have in former times been buried. In

the trial races, for she was beaten
more than five minutes by the Priscilla
in the second. Still, she won the other
two and was selected on her merits
to defend the cup.
The Old MayfIOwer.
The Mayfiower, the last wooden de-
fender, was built in 1886 by Gen. Paine,
also from designs of Mr.. Burgess. An
other candidate for the cup defense
also appeared that year, the Atlantic,
built by Latham A. Fish, and others
of the Atlantic Yacht Club, from de-
signs by "PhiP' Ellsworth, "a noted
rule of thumb" designed. In the East
ern Yacht Club regatta, on June %,
at her first meeting with the Puritan
the Mayfiower was beaten badly, and
she was also beaten in one or two
other Eastern encounters She was at
first too tender to stand up to her work
on the wind, but the addition of in

LET THE BABY CRY.
1t Is Good for the Child, and So
Are Two Baths a Day.
From the Philadelphia Record.

From the Philadelphia Record.
The first of the talks to mothers on
the care of their babies, which are
given under the direction Of the city's
Health Department, was delivered
Wednesday evening by DIR. Henry
Golden. Mothers filled the room. The
speaker offered a number of valuable
suggestions as to the proper treatment
of the little ones during the hot wealth
er. Bathing twice a day." said DIR.
Golden, should be an indispensable
part of the baby's hygienic treatment.
Water strengthens the babies, wards
off disease. 1t is the best tonic in
the world. The child should be bathed
in a warm room, and the head and
face should always be wet first. In
case of prickly, heat vinegar and water
should be used, while the babys fan
nels should be changed frequently.
'In clothing the body there are three
essential rules to be observed: The
chest should be amply protected, the
garments should never be tight, and
they should conform in weight to the
weather conditions. Pins should be
at all times avoided. Long clothes
should be discarded as early as pos
sible, and all clothing should be sus-
pended from the shoulders In sum-
mer the thinnest fiannels should be
worn. The majority of babies are over
dressed and kept in overheated rooms.
The mother should, especially in hot
weather, avoid undue fatigue, eat sim
pie food, and indulge in no alcoholic
drinks. Equally important is it that
the child should have rest and quiet
and not be made to laugh too much
or be excited or scared by it's some
times overload parents. Final words
of advice are: Never rock the cradle"
and don't indulge the child when it
cries. A little healthy crying will hurt
no baby"

they formed a procession astern at the
finish. Only two trial races were sail
ed, and she won both of them. How
she defeated the Galatea is remem-
bered by everybody, but it is worthy
of note that in the following season
the Atlantic, which ranked third in
the qUartette, and second to the Puri-
tan, beat the Galatea badly in two
races.

FROM THE SETTLEMENT.

During the past months the feVers at
the settlement We're prevailing very Sc
verely and our poor doctor had all his
time occupied in attending to the sick
ones both day and night. The people at
til i. settlement are very much inter-
ested in Dr. Goodhue's services that
they look upon him daily for relieve
ment of their daily and life sufferings-
Judging this from what the writer has
seen and is seeing daily at both the
doctors dispensary and operating
rooms.
1t is a we'll known fact that more than
two thirds of the native Hawaiians
who were brought here since the set
Element was instituted would not have
a white doctor to treat them at ALL but
l believe DR.. Goodhue is the only white
doctor who ever came to the settlement
had won the confidence of the native
Hawaiian patients by reason of his gen.
tlemanly acts and kind treatment in
showing them by his works that he had
their interests all at heart
The doctor has gone to Honolulu for
weeks vacation after being here for
eight months since his Iast vacation.
