birr. The wheel stopped in a mo -
anent. Tam had turned the sluice. The
Miller came oot o' the min, and ran at Tam
like a battering ram, and knoeketUhim heels
or head into the mill dam. Tam. cam' out
140 a drookit craw, and lay in his bed for

Wadna' come. She was at her very wit's

stuck her that she wad gang and tell the
zuUer aboot his conduct. She did' so, and
tie miller forthwith procured a big rung
and he went at Tarn, in the bed, like a day's
wark. "Blast ye," the miller cries out, 'I
will either kill ye, or cure ye.". In his
agony Tam cried, Pm cured! Pm cured !"
On hearing this the miller ordered • him to
pat on his claes and go out and bring in hay
for the kye to eat. .The auld, wife thanked
the miller for his services and it only now
rOnains to be added that Tam became as
docile as a lamb and shortly afterwards wi'
4111 approval he got married to the miller's
second auldest daughter -the auldest -being
already married. e

John Quincy Adams Proud of
His Mother.
There are few eminent men who have not
-Said that their -success in life was largely
owing to their mother's teaching, and who
have not been proud of the many illustra-
tions of this truth.
The mother of John Quincy Adams said in,
a letter, written when he was twelve years
old: _
"1 would rather see you laid in a grave
than grosis up a profane and graceless boy.,'
Not long before the death of Mr. Adams,
a gentleman said to him, "1 have found out
who macle,yeu."
" Whay do you mean?" asked Mr. Adams.
The -gentleman replied, "1 have been
reading the published letters of your moth-
er."
" If," this gentleinan relates, "1 had
spoken that clear name to some little boy
who had been. for weeks away from his
mother, his eyes could not have flashed
more brightly than did the eyes of that ven-
erable man when I pronounced the -name of
his mother. He stood up in his peculiar
manner and said : Yes, sir; all that is good
in me I owe to my mother.'"

A College Girl Who Could Make

"Bread," exclaimed a Vassar College,
" Bread ! Well, I should say I can

what is the plastic material you speak of ?"
Ob! .that is Commonly called the sponge."
" tut how do you make this sponge ?"
" Why,you don't naake it; the cook attends
to that. Then we test the .sponge with the
thermometer and hydrometer, and a lot of
other instruments, the names of which I
don't remember, and then hand it back to
the cook, and I don't know what she does
with it then, but when it cornea on the table

A Famous Rose.
Many flowers owe their names to famous
people. Among the number are the dahlia,
named for Dahl, a Swedish florist ; the

A Southern man says that Rev. Mr. Jas -
pier, of Richmond, who believes that "the

and unique explanation of the story of Jonah
and the whale. It is as follows : "Dat

was de Sailors' Rent, de Mariners' Retreat,
de Seafaring Man's Home an' a lot ob- sich

For the Farmer's Wife.
The rural farmer's wife: who has a faded
kitchen carpet and cannot afford to buy a
new one this season should make a strong
dye any colors you prefer, and apply with
an old tooth brush while the carpet is firm-
ly tacked to the floor. If it is a rag carpet,
use stripes and shade the different colors by
using it weak 'dye ; if an ingrain, follow the
original pattern, or if wholly obliterated,
trace with pencil on very thick cardboard.
an oak or maple leaf, cutting mit the design
with a sharp knife. Press the piece of card-.
board firmly to the carpet and apply vari-
ous"'shades of brown dye. •
If my flower friends have an Obstinate

duce, buds.
The very best potato chopper I ever used
is an inverted baking powder can, minus the

for a song, but keep thein for the good they

THE BANK OF ENGLAND,
INTERESTING FEATURES?' OF THE
WORLD'S GREATEST FINANCIAL
HOUSE.
Scales to Weigh c Wafer -The Operation
of Making a Rank of England Note
Minutely DeecrIbed-Constant Police
Surveillance.
One of the first objects of interest
upon entering the building is the bullion
office, where all the gold and silver that
enters or leaves the bank passes through
to be checked, says a writer in Harri-
son's 'Magazine. To the right is the
gold; on the left the silver. The promi-
nent feature of the room is the "grand
balance,". or scales, constructed by the
Messrs. Napier. This marvelous in-
strument is a ponderous and peculiarly --
built weighing machine, standing nearly
seven feet high and weighinz about two
tons. The whole is under a huge glass
case, access being gained thereto by a .
sliding panel. The scale is worked by; ,
hydraulic power, and is the most sensi-11
tive weighing maching in existence. On
each side of the `scales are fitted with
weight e amounting to 400 ounces. The
gold is made up in 400 -ounce bars, and
an ounce can be detected. By the mani
the difference of one-thoutandth part o
pulation of the machine, so tiny a thin
as a postage stamp can be weighed,foij
on the same being placed upon the scald
the index will jump a distance of no les
than six inches. It is the only balance
of its kind in the world, and cost abou
$10.000,
THE- SILVER SCALE.
The silver wale is not so finely balanci-
ed and'thetwo are respectively christeni-
ed "The Lord Chief Justice" and "The
Lord 11,igh Chancellor." In another
room are\several machines for weikhing
sovereikns and half sovereigns. Each
machine coneists of a complicated sys-
tem of counterweights, and it is not
unlike a sewing machine as to its lower
half, the whole being completely inclos-
ed in glass. A long feeder, like a tube
cut in half down its length, and made of
braes, is set at an angle of45 degrees,
and isfilled with a long roll of sover-
eigns. These turn as they slip down on
to a circular movable plate, slightly
larger than a sovereign. If the coin is
of the right weight, it slips down a
metal tube into a till below. Should,
however, it prove to be lighter than the
standard, the delicate machine turns to
the left, and. condemns it to the guillo-
tine. Theseinachines weigh coins at the
rate of 26 per minute,and a day's weigh-
ing at the bank amounts to about $500,-
000.

Another interesting feature is to be
found in the vault containing the de-
funct circulation of the bank. Some
idea can be gained of the quantity when
we say that they are over 77,000,000 in
number, and that they fill 1400 boxes,
which if placed side by side would reach
two and a half miles. If the notes Were
placed in a pile they would reach a
height of five and a half miles; or if
joined end to end, would form a ribbon
12,455 miles long. Theia superficial- ex-
tent is little less than Hyde Park; their
original value was over £1,750,000, and
their weight exceeds ninety and a half
tons. Among them is a note for £1,000,-
000, also the first bank note ever issued
(one for £500, and another for £250 left
at the bank for 111 years, whose accu-
mulated interest raised ite value to R60,-
000.
MAKING A BANK NOTE.
The printing of the existing papencur-
rency is an ihteresting process. The
notes are struck off two at a time on
hand-niade paper, which, upon being
cut, gives three rough edges and one
smooth one to each piece of paper -a
distinguishing feature of a Bank of Eng-
land note: Tee paper is manufactured
at the bank's own mill, and the produc-
tion of it is intrusted entirely to the
members of one family. The ink
used in printing the notes is made
from the charred stewof the
Rhenish vine, which is beiieved to pro-
duce the richest black of any ink in the
world. Each strip of paper has to be
strictly accoimted for, the whole process
being under effective supervision. The
bank can boast of possessing the wealthi-
est room in the world, in the shape of a
kind of vault surrounded from floor to
ceiling by iron safes containing rows
upon rows of gold coin in bags. of £10,-
000 each, and pile upon pile of bank
notes. The amount of specie contained
in ,this room is not less than £80,000,000-
ficteoNnrniojetncgtion with the bank is the fact that
he least interesting feature in
the whole system from beginning to end
is under constant police espionage, in
addition to the military protection, and
the electric arrangements are so com-
plete that communication with all parts
of. the building can be effected at a mo-
ment's notice.
'Woman and Poverty.,
It is hard to the womanof small means
and- luxurious tastes to keep within her
income and abreast with the times, but
a little sound sense, in the way of find-
ing out short cuts to economy will work
w onders.
The woman who has learned to make
a good appearance upon next to nothing
becomes an object of envy to her less
fortunate sisters. It is largely a ques-
tion of investigation, of watching sales,
of Shopping properly, of making $1 buy
$1 worth of goods. And only that
severe teacher -experience -will teach
all this. A wonian can be dignified
even if she is poor, nor should she feel
that because poverty has flung its somber
cloak about her she should draw its folds
still closer and hide herself from the
pure sunshine of the door or the kindly
friendship of her friends.
Too many women are inclined, when
poor, to withdraw into a shell, snail
fashion,and become crabbed and poverty
spoiled. Poverty is not the greatest of
crimes, as many suppose. There are
lots of things worse that that, and
wealth is not the alpha and omega of
ha ppiness.
The woman of fine nature will accept
this fact gracefully, and by her example
help niany a -disheartened woman to
look on the bright side of life;to look her
finances squarely in the face and avoid
laying -out her money in unnecessary
expenditure. By a bit of forethought a
small sum of money can woek wonders,
as the active, fine natured woman who
has learned it all well knows.-Cincin-
na i Enquirer. a

hospitality to be ob iged every day to enter-
tain a tedious old woman of 80. The fah,-
orite book or the necessary piece of work
had to be put aside in order to shout bits of
conversation in her ear. At last the father,
in desperation, planned to go into a sudden
fit of temper in the hope of convincing her
that they were not pleasant people to visit.
Accordingly one evening, when he return-
ed from business and found the old lad
present as usual, he began to talkloudly and
in an irritated voice. Then, growing more
excited, he stamped about the room, knock-
ing furniture right and left, and ended by
going out and banging the door after him.
The old lady knitted away quietly through
the confusion, and when the man was gone
she turned to the family and said in a com-
forting voice :
"1 reckon it was mighty lucky' was here
or you'd had to take it. But you needn't

Mr. Moody in Chicago.
People who ask the question, "Is Chris-
tianity played. out ?" may perhaps be helped
to its solution by the following extract from
an article on " Chicago," by Dr. A. J.
Gordon:
Mr. Moody estimates that from 30,000 to
40,000 people have been reached by his
special Sunday evangelistic services. This
multiplied by seven days easily foots up
about 200,000 brought weekly within reach
of the gospel. Every good opening for the
gospel is readily seized. When Forepaugh's
great circus tent had been set up in the
city, Mr. Moody tried to secure it for Sun-
day. He was granted the use of it for a
Sabbath morning service, but as the man-
ager expected Sunday in Chicago to be a
great harvest day, he reserved the tent on
the afternoon and evening for his own per-
formance. Fifteen thousand people eame to
hear the simple gospel preached and sung at
the morning service. The circus, however,
was so poorly attended in the afternoon and
evening that Sunday exhibitions were soon
abandoned. More than that, the manager
said. he had never been in the habit of giving
performances on Sunday, and .shauld not
attempt it again, and he offered, if Mr.
Moody would appoint an evangelist to
travel with him, to open his tent thereafter
on Sundays for gospel meetings and be re-
sponsible for all expenses. It was the same
with the theaters. At first they declined to
allow religious serrice,s on Sunday. Their
performances on that day not having proved
as successful as they anticipated, now Mr.'
Moody can hire almost any be wishes to
secure:. -Christian .Commonwealth.
-The large number of marriages that
have taken place in Harriston during the
past few months, has caused a boom in the
retail furniture trade in that town.
