The Gentlewoman OF London re-

Regent and Coutts Bank: When
George VI was a Regent he had a
gruIge against Coutts' and determ-
iued to play a trick on the authori-
ties In those days even the great
banks kept very small reserves Of
cash, and the playful prince thought
out plan TO close Coutts'. SO he
sent his eQuerry round from Carlton
House with check for 100, 900
pounds fondly hoping that the bank
would not be able 10 pay over the
counter. The princes trick, however,
failed of success, as the wary old
partner OF the Strand bank proved
equal TO the occasion. He said at
once to the equerry: How will his
royal highBess take the amount. In
gold or notes.? The equerry hesltat-

FOOD SUPPLY FROM CHINA.

Most people who remember tnelI
early geography lessons recall thAt
the Chinese empire has an area con
siderably larger than that OF the UNIT
ed States. But at the Same Time
will be recalled TINT the density OF
population In the Celestial realm av-
erages moro than three times the den
sIty In this country. In other words
the reasonable belief has been that 10
China population Is rcnlly pressing
very hard on the means OF subsistence.
II Is. therefore, somewhat surprlsins
to learn that two shiploads oi Chlnese
pigs-l0. 900 carcasses-were recently
held up a, Liverpool because OF iaif
ure to comply with some local regula'
ton. The pork was not condemned
1t was merely held UP upon technl'
cality.
The interesting phase OF the matter
Is that China should be exporting pork
10 Great Britain. The cargoes referred
to were not the first. Previous car
goes OF pigs from China are mention
ed in the dispatch which were simi
larly held up because the British In
spection laws had not been complied
with. Surely the huge empire has In
dustrial and commercial possibilities
not generally thought Of II 1t can pro-
duce an export food supply.
The two ships carrying 10000 hog
cnrcasses from a Chinese port to Liy-
erpool had also on board $4,000 cases
OF eggs and 5000 cases OF cold-stored
snipe. mallard ducks and other kinds
Of poultry. James j. Hill, the econom-
ic Jeremiah OF tho Northwest, has
