THE Bank of England notes are

scrolled or worn Bank of England note
is rarely seen, for the reason that
notes which in any way find their way
back to the bank are Immediately can

The notes of the Bank of France are

South American notes resemble those

German notes are printed in green

are printed in silk fiber paper.
1t has been averred that it takes an
expert or a native to distinguish a
Chinese bill from a laundry ticket if
the bill be of low denomination, or from
a firecracker label if the bill be of a
large denomination, the print being in

much gilt and many gorgeous devices.

Mr. Hadden's recital of the historical

time and labor should have been spent
by him in constructing a bust of the first

When Washington's mother forbade his
entering the English navy after she hao
once given her consent and the commits
sion had been obtained he relinquished
his boyhood's dream and returned to his
studies in surveying and mathematics IN
the depths of despair, but with respectful
and unquestioning obedience While she
apparently expected nothing else and
merely considered that he had done his
flial duty, yet when her next order for
household supplies was sent to England
among the items on the list was one for
a good penknife. Upon its arrival she
presented it to her boy with the injunc-
ton:
always obey your superiors.'
All through life he carried the little
pocket knife. and upon one occasion
showed it to Gen. Knox, relating the
story and his mothers words.
Years afterward. at Valley Forge. when
discouraged and desperate over the atti-
tude of Congress and the plight of his SOL
diers, he wrote his resignation and sum-
moned the members of his staff and noti-
fed them of his action. Among the Off
GERS of the council was Gen. Knox, who
labored earnestly to dissuade him. but
failed utterly to move him until the story
of the knife required to him like an in
spiration. He reminded Washington of

the brief command or his mother, Al
ways obey your superiors!' and added.
You were commanded to lead this army
and no one has ordered you to cease lead
ing it!''
The words had the desired effect, for
2fter time Washington tore up the res

the end. Upon the associations OF the
little knife with its far-reaching infiu-
ence of early discipline hung for brie!

Another highly treasured possession
