the nations wealth is divided,
with their valuations, are as

BANK, OF ENGLAND NOTES.
The Enormous Output and the Safe.
guards Against Forgery.

The Bank of England refuses to
use color for its notes on account
of the fact that the authorities be-
lieve that its whiteness and appar-
ent simplicity are the greatest safe
guards against forgery. The white
ness of a Bank of England note is
different to that of any other pa
per and is obtained by using only
The very finest linen rags in the
making.
At Laverstoke, a little village in
Hampshire, the paper is prepared,
and at the mill there every blank
is as zcalously guarded as if it were
already engraved. Every workman
or workwoman employed at the mill
is bound to secrecy, and the secrets
of the mysterious water mark and
texture of the paper are known only
by the most tried and trusted of the
workmen.
1t is not generally known that ev-
cry bank note bears private water
mark, which is constantly being
changed in way known only to the
head officials and which is discern
ible through a microscope only.
And it says much for the vigilance
and skill of the Bank of England
cashiers that, although they pay on
an average s27,OO0 in exchange for
notes every day, they have never
vet paid forged note.
The easiest way to detect forged
note is by dampening corner with
the tongue. If genuine, the water
mark appears very distinct. In
counterfeit notes it almost disap-
pears. On a genuine "iver" there
is a small white dot on the right
side of the Old English 'I" in the
word Give" The tail Of the letter
''F" in the sentence "For the Gov
ernor and Company" is also left in
an incomplete state.
The ink with which bank notes
are printed is made of charred
husks and stems of Rhenish vines,
and the recipe, like the manufac-
ture of the paper, is a carefully
guarded secret.
Each bank note costs about q
halfpenny to produce and on an av-
erage is in circulation about seventy
days. After being paid the notes
are stored by the bank for five years,
at the end of which time they are
DESTROYED by burning in large fur
mace. Eighteen millions of money
thus disappear in the course OF ev-
cry year.
Once a note is returned to the
banl: it is never reissued, and after
being Cancelled by having the sig
nature of the chief cashier torn of
it is placed in what is known as the
bank nota library for purposes OF
| reference. There are no fewer than
12O clerks in this department, and
so perfect is their system of filing
that any one of the 77,745, 600
notes which form the usual stocb
on hand can be reached in five min
utes.
Altogether the Bank of England
has some els, 100000 worth of notes

A s0URED CONDUCTOR.
incident That Changed His Theory Of
Street Car Etiquette.

1t was O'Brien's first day on the
Job. lie had served his probation
term as conductor on the Sixth ave-
nue. line and after Il few days OF
anxious waiting had been told to
report for duty the following morn
ing. Ten o'clock found him bound
downtown on the poop deck OF "A
yellow car with a bunch of change
in his pocket and heart full OF
pride and hope.
O'Brien had ideas of his own re-
parding how conductor should act
in the performance of his duties.
He had read from time to time sto-
ries in the newspapers which re-
fected severely upon the manners
of the man who pulls the bell. He
determined to be an exception to
what seemed to be the general rule.
He would be uniformly kind and
polite to old and young and never
lose his temper. Perhaps, he
unused, by following this course he
might some day get to be superln'
tendent.
The trip from the car barns down
to Forty-second street was compare
lively without incident, save that
the motorman's feelings were out
ragged and his soul irrevocably lost
because O'Brien refused to ring the
starting bell until an alighting pas
senger had both feet safely on the
ground or an incoming one was well
within the car.
Down in the shopping district
O'Brien saw his first chance to put
his real theory into practice. A
woman on the crosswalk signaled
for the car to stop. Beside her was
a little girl of perhaps six years. In
the woman's arms was an infant
still in swaddling clothes, with tiny
haxen curls peeping out from under
a cap. The woman started to help
the little girl up the step. O'Brien
sprang forward, seized the child
and swung her easily to the plat
form.
"Now the baby, ma'am," he said
And before the woman could utter
q word of protest he had snatched
the infant from her arms, held it
closely with his left arm, reached
down his right, assisted the woman
up and pushed her and the girl
gently forward, following close be-
hind after giving the starting bell,
1t was all done SO suddenly the wo-
man had no time to speak. Then
she tried to say something, but her
voice failed, and almost bursting
with suppressed laughter she drop
ped into seat.
Then for the first time O'Brien
noticed that the baby he carried
was of unusually light weight. lie
also noticed that every passenger
in his car wore grins of varying di-
mensions. With a muttered excla-
nation he almost threw into the
woman's lap one of those "life
sized" dolls which children like to
take "out shopping" and which their
mothers invariably have to carry
home.
O'Brien few for the back plat
form and partly relieved his feel
ings by savagely kicking at small
hoy who was stealing a ride. They
say now O'Brien is the worst tenn
pered conductor on the line.-New
York Press.

viewed with distress the vacuity
OF the editorial pages of many
of it's South Carolina weekly
exchanges. This is not SO i'm
portant as it is interesting as
one of the peculiar phenomena
of sorrow. The wide world has
seemed a very dark brown thing
to the Record fer more than a
month and all objects are seen
by it through streaming tears,
but it's means remind US that
the weekly newspapers of the
State, so far from being Gas
insipid as unsalted hominy,' y
have never at any time to our
extended observation appeared
quite so lively, vigorous and
pungent as during the past
twelve months. Possibly their
smartness might have been en-
hanced by more liberal quota
tions from the Columbia Record,
but that is their fault, it may
be their "very great fault as
Mr. Kipling would say.
1t is all in the point of view.
To a fairly happy newspaper,
with no sorrows crown of
sorrow" in remembering hap
pier things" there is a pleasure
in voting that not only the
Yorkville, Abbeville and Gaffney
papers TEEN with positive and
sometimes biting expressions,
but that in nearly every county
are newspapers bristling with
telling ideas. We make bold to
mention d few examples which
by no means cover the whole
field of South Carolina.
The Aiken Journal and Review
always contains something
about somebody or some issue
that helps or hurts. Seldom is
more originality to be found in
any weekly newspaper than in
the Greenwood Journal. Editor
A w Knights Bamberg Herald
impresses US as singularly free
from the slightest fear of ex-
pressing its opinion, and no
politician is too powerful for it
to touch with the sharp point of
its lance upon occasion.
The Bennettsville Advocate
has steadily maintained a con-
sistent political view for its
county during the long dispen.
sary warfare against politicians
who, to our mind, have succeed.
ed in forcing the historic pro-
hibltion strong hold of Marlboro
into queerly absurd posture
before the State. No issue of
the Winnsboro News and Herald
is ever barren of clean-cut
opinion usually in opposition to
the dominant political sentiment
of its county, and by, the way,
the newspaper which holds its
own for years against majorities
may as a rule be trusted.
In Williamsburg the closest
contest between dispensary and
anti-dispensary notions was
carried on, and it is a reasonable
presumption that the decided
victory won the prohibitionists
would not have resulted without
the persevering hammering of
the opposition by Editor Wolfe's
County Record. We have heard
