BANKS AND BANKNOTES.
England's First Paper Money Wss Is
sued by the Goldsmiths.
With tbe almost entire use of paper
currency at tbe present time tbe bis
tory of its origin may not tie uninter
eating. (n tbe days of tbe Stuart* mer
chant* used to lodge their reserve* of
gold In tbe Tower, and when one day
Charles 1., in a thought leas moment,
annexed a large aunt lodged in that
way and forgot to put it back the
merchauta decided that henceforth
they would put no more trust in
princes, hut would look to the gold
smiths.
The goldsmiths thereby liecnme the
first bankers, and the first goldsmith
who hit U|ion the novel idea of giving
a note, not only to the person who
Jeposlted gold, hut also to the jierson
who came to borrow, founded modern
banking with an original deposit of
£5.000.
Tbe hanker gave promise to pay up
to, say, £25.00ii, and as long as there
was no immediate demand on tbe purt
of the persons bolding these promises
to pay to have that promise converted
into cash business proceeded merrily,
but ueces8arily there was a limit be
yond wbicb it was not safe to do this
kind of business, and it was always
possible thut something unforeseen
might happen that would bring an un
usual number of notes for presentation
As a matter of fact, this did happen
frequently in the early days, and final
ly the government stepped in and grant
ed tbe almost entire monopoly of issu
ing notes to the Bank of England.—

TEST YOUR LUNGS.
A Simple Method by Which One May
Measure Hie Development.
People often suffer from weak, un
developed lungs without suspecting It
True, small, feeble lungs are usually
associated with a small, narrow or
sunken chest, but not Invariably. By
means of the misuse of physical cul
ture It Is possible to develop large
chest muscles, thus acquiring a big
chest measurement while the lungs
remain small and til nourished.
Again, lung mischief Is often so slow
and Insidious In Its approach that the
trouble Is not discovered until It Is
firmly established. Here, however, Is
a simple test which will tell you
whether your lungs are healthy or not:
Take as deep a breath as you can.
and then, In a slow but distinct voice
count from one onward as far as you
can without taking In more breath.
The number of seconds you can con
tinue counting is a pretty reliable In
dex to the state of your lungs, so you
should have some one to time you.
If your lungs are sound and normal
ly developed your range will be be
tween twenty and thirty-five seconds.
If your limit Is between ten and twen
ty seconds there Is no need to be
alarmed; probably your lungs are
merely In need of exercise, to be read
ily obtained by regular deep breathing
In pure air. A range less than ten sec
onds, however, points to more or less
mischief, and you should not delay In
having your lungs examined by a med
ical man.
Truo In Every Language.
Tennyson once attended a dinner
where G. L. Craik proposed “The La
dles.” In doing so he recalled the
cynical advice given by a brother Scot
to his children: “Tak my advice and
dlnna marry for siller. You can bor
row cheaper.”
Some time later Tennyson at his own
table repeated Mr. Craik’s story, but
expressed the idea without attempt
ing dialect His son, Hallam. remark
ed, “Surely, father. Craik did not use
those words.”
“No, be did not; but then, Craik Is a
Scotchman, and I" am afraid to ven
ture on repeating him exactly. How
ever, It's almost as good in English as
in Scotch, and It's tremendously true
In both.” _
Why ths Widow Got Him.
The folkB were talking gossip with
some neighbors who were making a
social call They were discussing a
certain man that everybody agreed
was such a fine man and wondering
how ever It was that a rather gay
grass widow had succeeded in leading
him to the altar. “Well, I kin tell ye,”
said Uncle Ebenezer, who had contin
ued to smoke bis pipe without taking
part In the discussion, “be bad no
chance.”—Exchange.
Half Truths.
Half truths are often more calumni
ous than whole falsehoods. Not a word
may be uttered, but a half suppressed
innuendo, a dropped lip, an arched eye
brow, a shrugged shoulder, a signifi
cant look, an incredulous expression of
countenance—nay, even an emphatic
silence-may do the injurious work.
Highly Estimable.
“Half a loaf Is better than no
bread,” said the philosopher.
“There’s no doubt about the respect
to which half a loaf is entitled,” re
plied the plain person. “It costs as
much as a whole loaf used to.”—Wash
ington Star.
Tha Kind Wren.
The house wren is charitable enough
to take care of the young of other spe
cies. One has been known to feed and
rear four young robins whose parents
had met with disaster.
Musical Note, g
“Didn’t her constant singing in the
flat annoy you ?"
“Not so much as the constant flat in
her singing.”—l’uck.
No great thing is created suddenly
any more than a bunch of grapes or a

GOVERNORS CONFER ON
THE I. W. W. SITUATION
_
S P 0 K A N E, July 23.—Governors
Moses Alexander, of Idaho, and Ern
est Lister, of Washington, conferred
here today on the interstate phase of
the Industrial Workers of the World.
Governor Alexander, it is said, found
in his investigation of strikes in the
lumber camps of Idaho that orders
for the strikers were being sent from
Spokane. Governor Alexander will
depart tonight for Moscow, Idaho,
where tomorrow the sheriffs of the
Northern Idaho counties will meet
with the farmers to discuss the re
ported threats of the Industrial
j Workers to burn crops. The govern
or said his investigation of the lum
ber camps convinced him that the
situation is clearing. Lumber camps
in Bonner county resumed work to
day.
After the conference adjourned it
was announced that Washington and
Idaho would co-operate in handling
the Industrial Workers of the World
situation. It was reported to Gov
ernor Alexander that the citizens of
the Coeur d’Alene region had organ
ized so as to be ready for any out
break by the Industrial Workers of
the world. "That’s what I’ve advocat
ed all along,” stated Governor Alex
ander. "We don’t need troops in Ida
ho now. What has been done up there
has not been in reference to strikes.
It has been done to maintain law and
order.”
