This she did very sueCessfully, and afterwards sent it to Queen Helena with these words at the foot Her Majesty stnile in this manner all her life." The young Queen was so delighted that in return she sent one of her ladies-in-waiting to Ida Rizai's home with a large box of presents and a, framed portrait of little Princess Zolande, together with a note of kindly greeting written by her own hand. now TREY COMPARE.

The Bank of England generally con- tains sufficient gold in sixteen pound bars to make 20,000,000 streereigns. The bank, which stands in three par- ishes, covers three acres of ground, and, as the current price of land in the vicinity works out at 11,000,000 an acre, it is easy to form an idea of the money value of England's wealth. The ratable value is about 11,000 a 'week. The bank employs about 1,000 peoplei pays a quarter of a million a year 111 wages and r35,000 a year in pensions. There are 125,000,000 worth of notes in circulation which have been banded over the bank's counter. - London Globe. Starting the Conversation.
