COuuting Uncle Sans Gold.

The gold is kept in closets or compart-
ments in the vaults, each chest containing
$500, 900. or nearly a ton. One of the
compartments is opened at a time, and
the coin, which is in bags each containing
$1,000, is placed upon truck and thus
carried, carefully guarded to prevent any
" grab games, to the gold room, which
is in the northwest corner of the build
ing In this room are several accurately
adjusted scales One of the bags is taken
at random from the truck, opened and
the contents counted piece by piece, If
found correct the gold is poured into one
pan of the scale and into the other is
emptied the contents of another bag If
the poise is equal it is assumed that the
contents of the second bag are correct Ii
it should be unequal the coin is taken to
/ the table and counted piece by piece and
examined carefully for light coins. When
the test is thoroughly applied the result
| is pronounced satisfactory and the coin is
returned to the bag, which is tied up
and is then ready for return to its place.
The first weighing generally shows an
equal poise, and the process proceeds
rapidly. When truck full has been eX-
amined the coin is returned to the vault
placed in the chest, and the compartment
| is then closed and sealed with wax i'll sucl
manner that it cannot be tempered with.
Upon the tag" are written the names oI
the examining committee, rs above the
representatives of the incoming and re-
firing assistant treasurers and the super.
ntendent of the Assay Office.
The laborers employed in.handhng the
trucks and in handling the bags of gold
are men carefully selected for that duty
and are under strict surveillance all the
time, from nine o'clock in the morning
when the work commences, until three
o'clock in the afternoon, when the days
work is brought to a close.

1T IsA rule among the German jews
that every male shall learn some manual
art or trade, by which, in case OF neces-
sity, he can earn his living. The rule Is
a good one, and it would be well if it were
more prevalent The Emperor OF the
French at all events favors it, for he has
set his son, the Prince Imperial, to learn
type-setting and printing. His printing
press was arranged, and lessons typo
eraphy are given him, by one of the chief
EMPLOYEES in the well-known printing
and publishing establishment of NJ. Fir
min Didot. The Princes tutor in this
art is well known for his thorough
acquaintance with its theory and practice
and has received the Cross of the Legion
of Honor for the improvements intro
duced by him in Typography. Consider
ing the number of dethroned monarchs
now wandering about in the world. the
precautiOn is wise one.
AMONG the various methods for keep

that he had drunk lager-ber since he was

Another said he swallowed two gallons of
it every day, and was never intoxicated.
A third said:
When feel iirst-ratc, | could drink
about twenty glasses, more than sixty
