The Fireplace

A fireplace in the living room is
symbolic of hospitality and in the
mind Of the modern home builder is
practically essential Its chief value
lies in its cheeriness, but ii really
is q fuel saver during the early fall
and late spring days when the
economy Of operating the entire
heating system is doubtful. The
eoziness and comfort Of ones own
fireplace afford q degree of salts
faction never obtained by putting
ones feet on the radiator; and the

ure Of sitting around the hearth
chatting, reading and watching the
glowing embers has never enjoyed
to the fullest extent the comforts

FesO Knosp Secrets OF
Bank Of England Notes

Greater privacy surrounds the
making Of notes for the Bank Of
England than almost any other un-
dertaking connected with that great
institution.
The paper on which the notes are
printed has been made in the same
factory, at Layerstoke, Hampshire,
for over two hundred years. 1t is
prepared entirely by hand from
specially selected rags, and is
washed and rewashed in spring wa
ter used for no other purpose.
The formula Of the ink used in
printing the notes is known to only
half a dozen people. The chief
ingredient is charcoal obtained by
smoke-drying the wood Of Bhenish
vines. Each note costs the bank
roughly penny 10 produce, and
the average period Of circulation ID
two and a half mouths. About CO.,
600 of the notes are printed daily,
while every year nearly 10000, 900
