Burning Greenbaeks at Washington

About fifty rods south of the Treasury
building is structure in which all the Old
and worn greenbacks and legal tender
hotes, fractional currency and national
bank notes are burned after thew are return
ed to the Treasury, counted, and properly
accounted for. The smell emitted from
the furnace is the most sickening and dis
agreeable: 1t finds its way into the Treas
ury building, and nearly suffocates its oc-
cupants, especially those of a gentler sex
and finer sensibilities; and it is said the
Secretary of the Treasury countenances the
nuisance simply because the building
where the money is consumed was erected
lor the purpose. Thousands of pounds of
money are thus consumed at a time the
burning taking place generally one day i'm
each week. The stenchHis waited into the
White House, the War and Navy DEPART
ment, and through the elegant mansions
OF the First ward, presenting q new phase
of the currency question everywhere In the
neighborhood.

TRANSATLANTIC TREEs.-The period
for transplanting has again arrived As a
general rule, we are most in favor of spring
planting, though all deciduous trees and
shrubs can be moved in the fall with per
feet safety, if done early and well. Assoon
as the trees have shed their leaves or turn
ed yellow, is the time to commence. and
the sooner fall planting is done after that
the better; because, if done early, the
wounded roots have time to heal over. to
callose or to exude their rooty matter, and
10 even grow the rains settle the soil firm
ly about their roots, and the whole tree be-
comes establiehed and prepared TO with
stand the effects of winter; whereas. if
planted just before winter sets in, none of
this can take place. The soil will be loose.
the tree will be rocked about by the wind

tons, where water will get in and stand. TO

Grain for Horses and Colts.

The cold winter weather is coming, and
a small allowance of corn to the horses and
colts is admissible. We know that many
say that corn is not fit food for horses
that oats is the only grain that should be
fed to them-that it is the proper muscle
producing food-that it gives more strength
and substance to the horses than corn-all
of which is true. But in winter horses
suffer more from cold. They can't have
the privilege of standing by fires to keep
warm, but must withstand the cold as best
they may. If they can have food contain
ing a larger per cent. of carbon than oats
possess, TO heat up their internal system,
they can resist the cold the better. Corn
furnishes this food, and in winter about
half the grain fed to horses should be corn.
That there is too much corn fed to hors-
SEES by western farmers, we are satisfied. 1t
is splendid food to make beef and fat-but
these are not desirable qualities in horse.
lie is bred for bone and muscle. He Is
wanted to endure hard work on the farm
or road and oats will give greater endur-
ance than any other grain. Horses should
have daily exercise in winter. They will
not keep in good health without it. They
want roomy yard 10 be turned in, that
they may play, prance, roll, and thus keep
strong and hearty. There is no nober
animal than the horse, and he deserves the
best care and Northumberland IVrrld.

THE WILL-PowBR IN PEsTILgHcE.-
One Of the most remarkable cases on.record
transpired at Malta, in 1913, where the
plague was raging with virulence almost
unprecedented. Such was the deadly nature
of the disease, and so sure was death to fol.

unattended none could be found n bury the
dead and no scavengcr could be obtained
to remove the pestiferous accumulations
from the highways.
In this dire emergency recourse was at length
had to the hulks in the harbor where were con-
fined, in hard usage, n large number Of French
and Italian prisoners of war. These prisoners
were promised, If they would give themselves
to the work of nursing and cleansing the in
fected places, that upon the Disappearance Of
the plague they should he set at liberty and
furnished with free transportation to their
homes. Liberty What will not the brave man
risk TO obtain lis Over two hundred of the I'M
fortunate captlves accepted the offer with glad
and hopeful hearts. Their eli aims were strick.
en- oil, and they were sent into the midst of the
pestileDce. where they went at the work in
good faith. They nursed the sick; they buried
the dead; they cleansed the infected houses,
end burned The tainted clothing aud furniture;
doing all with strong determined wills, fearing
nothing, but hoping everything. In the end,

passed away, nearly the VIII le Of these prisoner
