ATTRACTION The purpose of store advertising is not mere ly to sell goods, but to increase the sale of jjouds-Mo make friends, build up a patronage that will not only stick, but steadily grow. Newspapers reach the greatest number of people in the immediate vicinity in the most natural way, at the least expense, and they are therefore the best of all mediums for stores, hi u newspaper you follow the lines of least resistance you follow with the .stream, you talk to an audience already as sembled, to people who want to read their mental costume is right they are on your wire and they won't ring off if you hold their interest. Attraction is the basis of all adver tising the store is the sun, the customers the planets that revolve around it. If you don't do the business it's because you don't tell the people enough about your business.

OKKGOX S 4 4 0 HE gASlS i i oi The Review 3ANK OF ENGLAND NOTES. Tho Enormous Output and tho Safe guards Against Forgery. The Bank of England refuses to use color for its nolc9 on necount of tho fact Hint the authorities be lieve that its vhileno.H nml appar cut simplicity are the greatest safe guords iigainnt forgery. The white iicgs of a Bank of England note is different to that of any other pa per and is obtained by using only the very finest linen rngs In the tniiWIntr. & At Lnvcrstokc, a little village in Hampshire, the paper is prepared, amu at Ihe mill there every blank A ' J 4 a zealously guarded an if it were already engraved, hvcry workman or workwoman employed at tho mill in bound to secrecy, and tho secrets of tho mysterious water mark and texture of the paper are known only by the most tried and trusted of tho workmen. Jt is not generally known that cv cry bank note bears a private water mark, which is constantly being changed in a way known only to tho head olliemls and which is discern ible through a microscope only And it snvw much for Ilia vigilance and skill of the Dank of hngland cashiers that, although they pay on an average ','7,000 in exchange for notes every day, they have never vet tmid n urged note. The easiest way to delect 0 forged note is by dampening a corner with the tongue. If genuine, the water mark aimcars very distinct. In counterfoil notes it almost disap poors. On a genuine "liver" there is a Kinall white dot on the right fide of tho Old English "I" in tho word "Five." The tail of the letter "P in tho sentence "I'or tho (lov emnr and Company" i3 also loft in an ineomiilete state. Tho ink with which bank notes are printed is made of charred husks and stems of Ithonish vines, and the recipe, like the manufac ture of the paper, is a carefully guarded secret. Kuril bank note costs about a halfpenny to produce and on an av erage is in circulation irbout seventy days. Aflor being imid the notca are stored by I ho bank for five years, nt (lie end of which time llioy nro destroyed hv burning in a large fur nace. ' Eighteen millions of money thus iliwippcur in the course of ev ery year. Once 11 note is returned to the bank it is never reissued, and aftci being canceled by having the nig- nature of the chief cashier torn oil it is placed in what is known ax the bank nolo library for purposes of reference. There are no fewer than ViO clerks in this department, and o perfect U their vstom of filing Unit any one of tho 77,715,000 notes which form the usual stock on hand can he reached in five- min utes. Altogether tho Hank of England has some 1.V)00,00() worth of notes in circulation and issues between r.0,000 and (10,0(11) notes of various denominations each day. There uro (evenly or eighty kinds of Hank of England notes of dilTeront values, livery year nbout .'1,000 of the notes iwuoil are lost or destroyed by tho owners. At any rate, they aro uov or returned to the bunk ami repre sent a elcnr profit. While it is true, however, that if a note never conies back the bank profits to that amount, they never can tell when these ho called mining notes may be presented. Homo people nodosa a weakness for hoarding Iuiik nodv, and tho re Mill has been that frotpicntly tho bank is culled upon to cash dirty, crumpled note which wero issued year ago. London Tit-lliU.

Mr. MeKinloy was interested for many years in a girls ociiooi in Ohio. When ho was congressman and eovcrnor of Ohio political meet ings often took him near tho school, and he visited it when ho could. On one of his visits ho was made an honorary member of tho class of '1M. He was a loyal member ana woro tho class flower, a red carna tion. The message of his nomina lion for president reached tho class during a reunion. Tho girls rang tho colleuo ImmI and sent n telegram of congratulation and n box or car nations. Another box oi tho class flowers was sent on tho day of Mr. McKinloy's inauguration. It may be that this association accounts for Mr. MeKinley's fondness for tho red carnation, which 1ms como to be tho "McKinlev flower." Youth's Companion. Too Quick.
