STREET NEEDS NEW ROM
The Bank of England, famous
millions of people in all parts of
world, is to be rebuilt.
The matter has been before
governor and court of directors
some time. No plans have yet b
drawn up, but the suggestions
vanced include one of the wond
architectural beauty, which woul
considered worthy of the world's
est site -to consist of several sto
instead of the present one-st
structure, which is far too small
the bank's needs.
Centralization of the bank's in
activities was never more urge
required than it is to -day. For
first time in its long and illustri
history, the bank has offices out
its famous island in the City of L
don. These include large premise
Lombardi street, Princess street, L
don wall, Moorgate hall, Bank bu
ings and Imrae house. The num
of employees of the bank has b
multiplied many times since the
began 'and even to -day, with so
thing approaching a normal, busin
situation, its staff is double that
pre-war days.
Soon after its incorporation
July 27, 1694, the bank\ employed
clerks, whose salaries amounted no
inally to $21,700 a year. In ro
numbers, the bank now, gives empl
rnent to 6,00Q persons, 2,000
whom are women.
In, order to accommodate them
bank has had' to add to its other o
side premises, , the building wh
used to be Saint Luke's hospital
lunatics in Old' Street, This fi
building, which was equipped with
large amount of Chippendale fur
ture, had been ad'apte,i' to mod
needs and here, near to a spot hallo
ed by association with one of B
ain's choicest poets -the chow
fruits of the kingdom were reared
King James's time by John Milton,
his nursery in Old Street -most
the bank's printing is done.
At the bank's other outside pr
ises, Moorgate hall, Finsbury cou
Lombard street and. Lond'on brid
its loan department is housed; Lo
don wall is devoted to' deeds a
transfers; , Princess street to re
sters and dividends; and part of
bank's vast correspondence is carri
on in the old' auction, mart in Toke
house yard.
It would be a great advantage
all these departments- were hous
together, but there is not enou
room on the bank's ancient island si
for them all, unless a colossal buil
ng were erected' there. The prese
old building is usually spoken of
a one-story building, an impressi
which its exterior somewhat erro
eously gives.
But within, the ground slopes aw
rom the Royal Exchange side, wi
he result that the center and t
othbury portion are built in a kin
f hollow. Consequently, instead
building of one story, the bank co
ists of a series of buildings, all co
ected' of course, some of which ar
ix stories in height. Once you leav
the public oxces you ' see stair

tairs are of old' oak, but no place i

The bank's famous island site whic
vers nearly four acres has been de
ribed without exaggeration as th
nest mercantile site in the world.
For 40 years after its foundatio
1694, the bank had no home of it
vn. It then found lodging in
rocers' hall, not many yards away
Threadneedle street, n ear by, were
a house and garden of Sir John
oublin, incidentally the squire of
e parish, who became the first
vernor of the bank. When the
esent- bank building was erected in
34, it acquired Houblin's land, and
t up a modest structure, to which
st and west wings were added a
If century later, including the fam-
s bank parlor, which is still used.
The bank then had as its next door
ighbor the old .parish church of
Christopher -le -Stocks, which it
phatically did not like. It had no
ection to the church as such, but
was always fearful that it might
as a refuge for rioters, from
ich an organized attack might be

Vier groundless. Nothing is more

n' the march through the city
sets each afternoon of a strong
achment of the guards, to protect

wadays, however, the bank's own
ng rooms and' the police form an
quate protection, but the bank is

ory when its treasures were ac-
ly in peril. That was at the

length retired.
This alarming event thoroughly
justified the bank's policy of secur-
ing isolation for itself, for which
purpose it has since bought many 'ad-
joining properties. Powers were ac-
quired! in 1871 to pull down Saint
Christopher -le -Stocks church and' in-
corporate the sites of the church and
churehyard within the bank. The
pretty garden court inside- the bank,
an gpen space where to-dldy trees
throw out leaves in the summer,
,flowers bloom and' the gentle splash
of a fountain mingles with the sub-
dued roar of the traffic that is the
old churchyard of Saint Christopher -
le -Stocks.
One Jenkins, a bank clerk, was
buried there years after the Old Lady
of Threadneedle street took control.
He stood seven feet six- inches high
and this step was taken to defeat
the body snatchers, who might have
been covetous for so rich a prize.
Sir John Sonne, R. A., having be-
come architect to the bank, took down
much of the old building and placed
all around the bank an enclosing pris-
on wall, for that is really what the
present wall is. People . pass the
bank and point it out to American
tourists, but they see substantially
nothing of it; only this defensive,
windowless, high stone wall. Its
few entrances are those of a fortress.
It is a perfect triumph' of architec-
tural genius that its creator should
have been able to raise a blank screen
wall- of such extent which gives no
offense. Need of the kind: has now
gone, and if a new building be raised
to afford 'accommodation for all the
scattered activities of the bank, the
architect will be able to leave this
out of account,
Whence comes the name of the Old
Lady of Threadneedle street, as ap-
plied to the Bank of England, nobody
seems to know: It is certainly old,
and the traditions of its origin mostly
agree that it arose from the personal-
ity of spine poor demente4dt creature.
The saddiest of the stories told is
that of a woman who, a century ago
was a constant visitor to the bank.
Her brother, a young clerk there, had
committed the forgery of a transfer
warrant and was hanged outside New
gate prison in 1809. The event
affected her mind. Each day at noon
she would cross the rotunda to the
pay counter. Heir unvarying ques-
tion was: "Is my brother, Mr. Fred-
erick, here to -day. "Always her last
words were: "Give my love to him
when he returns; I willcall to -mor-
row."

TO WOMEN
OF MIDDLE AGE
This Woman's Letter Tells
You How To Pass The
Crisis Safely.
Lascelles, P.Q. - G' Daring the Change
of Life I felt so weak and run down I
could hardly do my work. The per-
spiration would pour over my face so
that I couldn't see what I was doing..
We live on a farm, so there is lots to do,
but many who felt as I did would have
been in bed. I took Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound and it did me a
world of good, I tried ofifer remedies
but I put Vegetable Compotrid ahead of
them all, and I tell Every one I know
how much good it ,has done me." -
Mrs. DUNCAN Bnowrt, Lascelles, Prov.
Quebec.
Such warning symptoms as sense of
suffocation, hot flashes, headaches,
backaches, dread of impending evil,
timidity, sounds in the ear, palpitation
of the heart,. sparks before the eyes,
irregularities, constipation, variable ap-
petite, weakness and dizziness should
be heeded by middle-aged women and
let Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com-
pound carry them safely through this
crisis as it did Mrs. Brown.

cessful in relieving woman's suffering

SLEEPING SICKNESS,
Cause Not Known, No Microbe Har-
ing Been Discovered.
Sleeping sickness, or as the doctors
call ,it encephalitis lethargica, is a
new disease to this country, although
there is little doubt that cases of it
occurred before and were not recog-
nized, for it closely resembles polio-
myelitis and may easily be mistaken
for several other diseases. Here are
some facts about it taken from an
article in the New �y'ork Medical
Journal, by Dr. John H. W. Rheim
of Philadelphia, one.of the leading
American authorities on the
of
the nervous system.
The cause is not known., No mi-
crobe of it has yet been dis;eovered.
It is not infectious. Many cases have
followed attacks of influenza, but
no direct connection between the two
has been established. There Is So
specific treatment, physicians being
able to do nothing more than control
the symptoms. The death rate is
rather high, some reports placing it
at more than -50 per cent., though.
an English doctor describes sixteen
cases without a single death.
The first symptom is usually a ca-
tarrh of the eyes, throat and bron-
chial tubes. Headaches follow and
fever, but not as a rule high, and in
some cases it is' absent or does not
appear for several days.. In about 80
per' cent. of cases somnolence, leth-
argy, stupor and coma appear, and.
in about a quarter of them this is.
associated with excitement and delir-
ium. The patient can be aroused
from his lethargy to answer intelli-
gently questions that may be put to
him, but he relapses into sleep al-
most immediately.
The most common of all symptoms
is the drooping of one or both -gen-
erally both= --eyelids. .Many disturb-
ances of sight have been observed.
It attacks all ages and both sexes.
Autopsies show minute hemorr-
hages of certain parts of the brain
and infiltration of cells from the
blood into the brain tissues. These
explain the paralysis cif ' the cranial
nerves. . .
The lethargy exists for several
days, sofnetinies for weeks, and
when -it passes off It leaves a residue
of disturbances of the speech, partial
paralysis of the legs and mental and
emotional disturbances. •
There have recently been many,
cases of sleeping sickness in Italy,
and several eminent- physicians de-
scribe their operations in Policli-
nico (Rome). It appears that the
incubation ,Period is about three
weeks. Dr. ' G .Ga.bi found and culti-
vated a microeoccus germ type from
three cases; others found .one of the
diplococcus type. Dr. G. Sabatini
says one of the earliest symptoms. in
most cases is a twitching of the mus-
cles of the abdomen, with a rhythm
of about forty to the minute. This
twitching is accentuated by cold; it
continues during sleep, and morphine
does not stop- it. Sometimes the jerk-
ing simulates chorea, and these cases
ware always fatal. Neuralgic pains
formed the main symptoms in some
cases, pains in the spine, back of the
neck and on pressure of the eye -balls.
In some of the fatal cases there was
no somnolency at any tinie. In one
case there was only moderate fever,
persisting mental confusion and pro-
found slumber for six weeks. There
is always fever at the. outset, but it
may subside promptly. -The patients
sleeping calmly may even increase in
weight during then disease. Necropsy
shows that any part of the cerebro-
spinal axis may be affected, and not
merely the brain. The lesions are
extremely minute and may be merely
microscopic hemorrhages, but . they
explain the diversity of the symp-
toms and their variability.
In Libraries.
In the libraries of the social clubs
there usually hangs a card bearing
the single word "Silence," denoting
that conversation is not permitted in
that particular section of the club's
accommodations. Sometime ago it
was suggested in a Boston club that
a more polite card might appropri-
ately be substituted for the rather
abrupt one. Accordingly a card was
displayed in the library bearing these
words: "Only Low Conversation
Permitted in This Room." It served
its purpose well enough for a short
time, but- it finally gave way to the
old form of warning. The new form
was thought to be rather ambiguous
in 'its meaning.
The End of the World.
Science at the present moment,
says the Abbe M. Moreux, Principal
of Bourges Observatory, is powerless.
to fix for us the -hour when the end
of the earth will come, All that it is
able to affirm is that formerly the
earth did not exist, and that in a
more or less distant future humanity
will disappear from the grain of sand
over the particles of which it now
wrangles.
