BANK OF ENGLAND NOTES.  To Boost Farming.  The Newfoundland Government has  recently turned its attention to the  farming industry in the island with a  view to its further development and  at the last session of the Legislature  several new measures were given consideration.  Although Newfoundland's chief  claim to fame rests in her fisheries,  wliich yield an annual return of from  eight to ten million dollars, the agricultural industry, which scarcely ever  attracts attention outside her own  borders, is second in point of importance, and the furm products now  reach at least five million dollars in  value.  On the occasion of the last census,  ten years ago, their value was $3,532,-  0)0, as against $1,602,000 ten years previously, an increase of exactly 100 per  cent, in the decade, and if the same  rate of increase has been maintained  since then, the estimate of five million  dollar-; as the value of the agricultural  product*- to-day is by no mentis an ex-  ug-i-erated one.  Qualities Which Prevent Their Being  Counterfeited Successfully.  About the year 1819 a,great outcry  was raised against the Bank of England for not adopting a style of noto  that could not be imitated and at tho  same time preventing the sacrifice of  life which at that period was common,  the punishment for forgery being  death. The subject at last became so  pressing that the Goverment appointed commissioners to investigate the  cause of the numerous forgeries and  whether a mode could be devised  whereby the forging of bank notes  might be prevented.  Previous to this investigation the  directors of the bank had been endeavoring to remedy the evil, many  plans having been submitted to them,  \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdall of which they were obliged to reject.  The bank placed beforp the commissioners 180 different projects that  had been recommended, for adoption  and and 70 varieties of paper made by  way of experiment. The result of all  this labor was the bank note of* today.  The color of the paper is peculiar,  and cannot be imitated exactly by  counterfeiters except at great expense.  The combined thinness and strength of  thc paper are also unique. It is made  in sheets large enough for two notes.  Each noto before it is sized weighs  about 18 grains and then if doubled it  is strong enough to suspend a weight  of 3ii pounds.  The texture of the paper is also peculiar. It has a crisp feel invariably  thc same and such that bank clerks  of experience can readily detect forgeries by this tost alone. Then the  wire mark impressed in tho making  by a frame, costly to make and difficult to use, is- practically inimitable-.  Each noto has thin rough \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd edges  uncut not to be produced by any note  of cutting paper that is not devised  expressly for the purpose.

Giant   Birds   Now   Extinct.  In the British Museum, and in several continental institutions for the  advacement of science, there may be  seen specimens oi birds' egga which  are almost as large as a two-gallon  jug. These eggs were laid by the  epiornis, an extinct and gigantic bird  of Madagascar. The cubic bulk of an  epiornis egg is eight times that of the  eg \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd of thc ostrich, which means that  each of them is equal in point of capacity to 150 hens' eggs.  The first discovery of these interest-  ing relics of past times was made by  the captain of a merchant vessel  which had stopped at a port on tho  northeastern coast of Madagascar to  trade with the natives. During tho  stay at this point the curious vessels  used by the'natives for water vases  attracted the attention of the captain.  Upon investigation it was found that  these odd utensils were in reality gigantic egg shells cut in halves.  Upon questioning tho water carriers  in regard to the bird that laid the  eggs, and the place where they were  procured, thc captain was given to  understand that the bird itself was  unknown, but that the eggs were discovered in a large sand bank some  distance away in the up-country, and  could not be\" found elsewhere, to the  knowledge- of tho natives. An offer  to purchase all that could be procured soon resulted in the discovery of  several fine specimens, all of which  fell into the hands of I&adore G. St.  Hilaire, the French naturalist. These  curiosities were, afterward distributed  among the largest museums.  who suffer from displacements, inflammation, ulceration, fibroid tumors, irregularities, periodic pains, backache,  bearing-down feeling, flatulency, indigestion, dizziness, or nervous prostration.

At one time it was customary to  address long and flowery communications to the electors, calling attention  to past services and setting forth the  candidate's opinions in detail. A mem-,  ber of the Lyttelton family, ia an address abomV a century ago, asse:ted,  \"I have discharged my duty without  fear or favor, resisting equally the  undue influence of.the crown and the  machinations of turbulent sedition,\" a  reference to the ' monarchy, which  would not be tolerated in these days.  The longest address of recent years  was issued by a West Country candi-.  date; it ran into more than 4,000  words. As a set-off , to this there is  the famous one issued to the electors  of Birkenhead by Sir Elliott Lees. It  consisted of the single word, \"Pretoria,\" cabled from Pretoria, where  W\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd) was serving with the Yeomanry. .  An oft-quoted address was that issued by a candidate at Merthyr Tydfil len years ago. It was suid that  tlie gentleman had it printed in Cardiff by mistake, being under the impression he was ih tlie constituency  for which he was to stand. \"I have  lived, loved, and married,\" he tohl  the electors; \"owned ' children and  houses; experienced the world, the  flesh. and( tlie devil; made and lost,  and made' and explored; mined, distilled, manufactured, built, lent, borrowed, bought, and sold.\"  For really weird election addresses  one must co. to the thousands of m-n  who aspire to tlie modest honor of  local councillor. A year ago a Ohris-  .ian Socialist tailor came forward at  Leicester, and it is pathetic to think  that his really gorgeous address only  drought  him fourteen  votes.  He began by asking the electors ot  his ward to \"anoint their eyes with  tlie spittle of love, and wipe them  jlean with the napkin of righteous-,  ness.\" The address is too long to  quote in full, 'but its import was that  uvery worker\" was to have a lixed  wage of $15 per week, \"with free trav  j] and all rent and taxation ended.'-  No ono is to work more than, five  hours a day, and retire from active  labor at forty-five.  \"I want you to put me into power  to send all school children on a tour  round the world during the last four  years of their school age at the nation's expense, to make them bright  and intellectual men and women, to  be well-guarded by our soldiers and  sailors, under the charge of their  teachers and the most eminent physicians in our land.\" He also intended  \"to put the whole British Empire in'  apple-pie order,\" when \"every man  shall smoke his pipe of comfort free  from taxation, with beer of purity,  while listening to the orchestia'  strains of parish bands.\"  It was a Hibernian candidate wh<>  stated: \"My posterity belonging to one  jf the most famous Irish families and  myself being a man of unassailable integrity, of clear intelligence, and oi  exhaustive will-power, I will do my  utmost for our prehistoric town.\"  ACHES,   PAINS  AND RHEUMATISM?

Limbs ache, muscles seem to have  become tired out, your back aches,  now and again a twinge of rheumatism strikes you here and there.. Your  chest feels tight, there is a pain between your shoulders, and altogether  you need toning up.

Mrs. B. Gorie, 76 Berkeley St., Toronto, writes: \"I cannot speak too  highly of Zam-Buk. A few weeks ago  I was suffering from a bad cold,  which had settled in my throat, chest  and limbs. I tried all kinds of remedies, new and old, and found very  little relief until I used Zam-Buk.  On applying this to my throat and  chest I found such ease and. relief  from the tightness and soreness I determined to use only Zam-Buk. I also  rubbed it on my limbs where -I felt  the rheumatic pains. In three days  from the time I first began applying  Zam-Buk I was free from the cold in  my throat and chest, and also the  rheumatism in my limbs.\" ,  Zam-Buk will also be found a sure  cure for cold sores, chapped hands,  frost bites, ulcers, blood poison, varicose sores, piles, scalp sores, ringworm, inflamed patches, babies'  eruptions and chapped places, .cuts,  burns, bruises and skin injuries generally.

The Khedive of Egypt was unpleasantly impressed recently by a demonstration which occurred at Tanta, 50  miles north of Cairo, as his highness  halted there on his way home from  Alexandra.  A number of students of the secondary school shouted, \"Long live tiie  constitution! Long\" live tlie constitutional Egypt!\" tnus indicating th:.t  they were only ready to cheer th-.  khedive when parliamentary rale i.-  established there. The shouts became  deafening, and signs of displeasur-  were noticed on the khedive's face.  \\Vhon the khedival train departed thc  governor of the province proceeded to  :he school and au inquiry was opened.  The executive committee of the  school has in consequence exp. llt?d  twelve of the students. It has been  found th tit the students belong to a  secret society, the aims of whkh ar..-  unknown. Before their expulsion the  students paraded the streets, shouting \"Down with the Governor. Death  to him!   Long live the constitution!\"  A number of hooligans joined them,  and several arrests were made, including that of a Nationalist lawyer.  Much excitement prevails at Tanta.  A young Quaker had been for some  time casting different glances at a  maiden of his persuasion, while she,  true to the tenets of her up-bringing,  had given him mighty little encouragement. However, one day the opportunity of placing the matter upon  a more stable footing presented itself  to Seth, and he shyly inquired:  \"Martha, dost thou love me?\"  -\"Why, Seth, we are commanded to  love ono another,\" quoted the maiden.  \"Ah, Martha, but dost thou feel  what the world calls love?\"  \"I hardly' know what to tell thee,  Seth.

An Editor's Clever Daughter.  Mrs. Violet Tweedale, the writer of  many brilliant novels, is \"a woman  of all works.\" Sho can paint a- landscape and cook a dinner;- she can  write as. book and make a shirt; she  can etch a sporting scene and embroider the finest designs; she is a  brilliant pianist, and has the reputation of being-one of the best political  speakers of the day. As a girl she  was a beauty, and now, in middle  age, with her regular features, white  hair, and commanding presence, is  strikingly handsome. Mrs. Tweedale,  who is the eldest daughter of the lute  Robert Chambers, editor of Chambers' Journal, lives in a delightful  home in Aberdeenshire. Every hour  of the day is assigned to one or other  of her numerous interests. \"I never  know an idle moment, and I never  know an unhappy one till, by some  misadventure, I am forced to sit with  idle hands,\" is a remark she has  often made.  No Profit. . *  Rev. P. H. Ditehfleld, the writer of  so many excellent books on archaeology and old English customs, tells  this good story of a Wiltshire farmer.  \"An old squire was riding to the  Bench one morning and met a farmer, and, after exchanging greetings,  observed: 'And so, John, I hear you  are going to bo married again.' 'Yes,  .dr, next Tuesday.' 'And you havo  been married three times before, have  you not?' 'Yes, sir; this one will be  the fourth.' 'And you always did pretty well for yourself, John. Your  wives havo always had a bit of money,  I think?' 'Yes, sir; but what with  bringing on 'em iu and carrying on  'em out, there aiu't no profit.' \"  Origin of Sirloin.  King Charles I., being greatly  pleased with a roast loin of beef set  before him, declared it \"good euough  to be knighted.\" It has ever since  been called Sir Loin.  Three scientific men from an eastern college v'sited a certain Montana  mine. On the ascent by means of the  usual bucket one professor thought  he perceived signs of weakness in  the rope by which the bucket was  suspended.  \"How often,\" he enquired of the attendant, \"do you change these  ropes?\"  \"Every throe months,\" carelessly  replied- the other. Then he added,  thoughtfully. \"This must have boon  forgotten. We must change it to-day  \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdif we get up.\"  Sand' Blast  as  Polisher  The sand-blast as a polisher is now  followed by the simple air-blast (says  Science Sittings). The erosive power,  of couise, is not so great, but when  the articles to be cleaned or finished  are placed in a basket in a rapidly  driven centrifugal machine, and hot  air is blown from a pipe through the  basket, a high polish is imparted  rapidly and efficiently.  It takes a Woodward avenue gentleman to discriminate. Yesterday we  saw one let five women stand in a  car while he kept his seat until a  pretty young thing got on, when he  gallantly rose and ushered her to his  place.\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdDetroit Free Press.  Humorous   Errors    In  Geography  the Older Writers.  In a Shakespeare-Bacon controversy this droll error always turns  un. But it is certain that the writer  of \"The Winter's Tale\" could make  no defence? Dr. Thorns is not forgotten by careful students; his \"Noto-  lets on Shakespeare\" contained the  germ of various discoveries which  have been worked out in .later time.  And he stated positively that Bohemia'had a seacoast once. , Swarming up from Mount Thabof,-' the  Hussites conquered Pomerania and  the ports of Stettin and Rostock,  which they held\" for some years.  Further, he asserted that Speed's map  represents them as still in possession; though published'in 1622, after  his death, it was certainly known  many years before, and Shakespeare  might have seen it. I never felt the  curiosity to look up this reference  myself, but some of the gentlemen  who are so deeply interested in the  matter ought to do so.  At any rate, blunders as grotesque  have been committed by pc-Tsons infinitely more responsible than an  actor-dramatist. Perhaps the description of Bombay by the great Lord  Clarendon is the most'-pleasing example. When urging the advantages  of a marriage between Charles II. and  Kather'ne of Braganza upon the  Privy Council, he wrote that the alliance \"proposed to give the English  nation a free (rade with Brazil (sic)  in the East Indies. . . . And forever to annex to the crown of England the Island of.Bombay, with the  towns and castles thereon, which are  within a very little distance of Brazil.\" Apparently the Privy Council  saw nothing wrong, for when Francis  Gwyn, who inherited the Clarendon  manuscripts, published them, some  fifty years later, he included this  document, without any comment of  his own or that august body. Probably Charles himself- was- not better  informed when he granted the East  Indian Companv a perpetual lease of  the island for $50 yearly.  Among the archives at Simancas is  a confidential dispatch from some  irnpoifant personage, recommending  Waterford as a spot where the soldiers of the Armada might disembark to conquer England. Among  other advantages it was \"only twelve  mi,les from London.\" Philip II. was  not more skilled in geography than in  other matters, but he suspected an  error here, and wrote on the margin.  \"I don't understand about this  Waterford twelve miles from London.  Make inquiry.\" One of his successors, Charles TT.j* had the vaguest  ideas about the geography of his own  emoire. It is reported, on excellent  authority, that when the French took  Mons. the great town and fortress oi  Flanders, he congratulated the Marquis d'Harcourt upon a victory over  the English heretics. Flanders was  Spanish territory nt the date.  Funny stories are current of high  officials in this realm at the present  day. Grand . Duff answers for one.  Schoolboys ou?ht to know that there  is a town on the Persian Gulf called  Bush're, once great, and still of high  importance strategically. A personage was sent there from India on  diplomatic* business. In due time he  forwarded the items of his expenses  at Bushire to the foreign office, along  with others incurred. The amount  wns-transmitted to him with these  lattor deducted. On inquiry lie was  told that the foreign office could not  recognize 'bus-hire.

CHASE'S OINTMENT  Cold, damp weather brings out  eczema ancl salt rheum. Mnny who  are subject to those ailments do not  suffer except during the changeable  weather of fall and spring.  The annoying itching and the disfiguring blotches on the skin make  this trouble almost unbearable to  those who are not familiar with the  soothing, healing influence of Dr.  Ciiase's Ointment.  Eelicf conies almost as soon ns this  ointment is applied. Gradually the  irritation disappears, the sores are  healed up and the skin is left soft,  smooth and natural.  There is always clanger of eczema  spreading and becoming chronic. For  this reason' the use of the ointment  should be regular and persistent until  the cure is thorough and complete.  Mrs. John J.

It is doubtful if a better man could  have been selected for the post of Labor Adviser to the British Home Office than Mr. D. J. Shackleton, M.P.  for Clitheroe. He has fought his way  from .poverty to his present influential  position. At nine years of age he  started work as a haJf-timer in a cotton mill, and, getting his education  at the local school as best he could  out of working hours, he was a teacher  by the time he was twelve,- with pupils almost old enough to be his father,. Known in the House as \"Baby\"  Shackleton, he is one of the biggest  and brawniest of M.P.'s, standing well  over six feet and weighing 225 pounds.  He has a soft corner in his heart for  \"stragglers,\" particularly the struggling widow with three or four children to bring up. As he told Mr.  Lloyd George on one occasion, \"It is  an easy matter to make out a Budget  when you have got the money to  budget with, but it would be a difficult  matter for the Chancellor to budget on  $4 or ?5 a week.\"  \"It Wearsw  TAese two words express  the reason why so 'many  people prefer tbe.  1\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd7 SOGERS BROS.\"  brand of silver plate\/ This  trade mark is a positive assurance of the heaviest  grade of plate.  .
