A man who walked into the Bank of England the o:her day and laid a ten-pound note on the counter was surprised to hear the clerk say: "We can't cash this. The note was stopp ed twenty-three years ago." Over twenty years back the note was stopped by a clerk in the employ of one of the provincial branches oi the London and County bank. It had been brought in by an pkmaploye of one of the banks's clients in ordet to be paid into the client's account, with some loose change. By a strange oversight the clerk. after jotting down the number of the note and after counting the change. ommitted to take the bank note. When he discovered his error note and messenger had disappeared. Neither was seen again. The clerk took counsel with a col league at the counter, and for the sake of their own prospects the two young men determined to say noth ing about the affair, but to bear the loss themselves. Each paid 5 pounds to make e good t loss and stopped the number. The man who presented the note for payment the other day had found it among the papers of his father, who recently died. The two clerks instrumental in stopping the note were traced, and though both had left the employ of the London and County bank long ago, each has received back his five pounds after the lapse of twenty-three years.

And we are not now in a SEWING COTTON. I e ':uble Origin of the Great Thread Industry. Thc trigin -f se wing cotton was told at a coi.ton manufacturers' meet ing by the head of the great thread house of Paisley. Scotland. It was discovered in 1803 by his grandfather, who had a httle business in Paisley. making silk twine fo-r heddles, which were used by every weaver. The sil, came from Hamburg, and in 1803 Napolean caused the stock held there to be burned in order to hamper British trade. The weavers were in despair, but James Clark conceived the idea that cotton yarns could be twisted together to form the twines. The experiment succeeded, and irom this grew the idea that cotton could be substituted for flax in the manufacture of sewing thread and would not be so coarse and harsh. -le began the manufacture of the thread in a very small way. It was at i'rst pt.t up in: skeins and had o .au::d i to ~ latie balls by thle p)urchlas er. and then Mr. Clark invented the modern sIools. He had them made by a wood turner. half a gross at a time. Theiyx cost him sixpence a doz en. and he ch_rged the purchaser of :e ti.read a halfpennv for the spool. which, however was refunded when :he spool was returned. The ladies of Paisley used to come t' his shop with their spools and wait while he wound the thread on them. From this small beginning grew a great indus try. Spat Must Match Skirt.
