FROM the New Y ork Worlds Washing.

FROM the New y ork Worlds Washing
ton correspondent we learn that, from a
cursory examination. it is impossible to
estimate the extent Of the damage TO the
patent office by the recent fire. Ii de-
ponds good deal on the extent OF the
damage to the walls BY water Ii these
have to be taken down and replaced By
marble, the total cost has been estimated
at 81 100000 Ii the models are to be dn-
plicated from the specifications and draw
ings, the cost will be 100000 more. The
very lowest estimate exceeds Sl,000,00O,
and quite a number of good judges say
the loss will be S2,0o0,O90. The SUI
perintendcnt OF the model'room
estimates the number of models burned
at about 5000. OF this number 20,OOt
were models of alleged inventions lor
which patents had been rejected. They
were kept merely as curiositicS, and are
no real loss. In many instances they
were duplicates of each other. IL Is
thought ten per cent, of the models OF
patents destroyed were valuable as ey-
idence in patent eases, ranging from
$50 to 500, according to the significance
OF the case in which they would form an
essential feature of evidence. Some lew
of these may and will be reproduced by
the department where the drawings ART
sufficiently complete to admit OF it,

How Plug Tobacco To- Made.

The operation of making plug tobac-
co is very interesting. The leaf is first
taken out of the hogshead, the leaves
separated las they are tied,ia "bands" or
bundles) according to colsp and texture.
If they are unsound, they are entirely
discarded and sent to another factory, to
be used in connection with very COM
mon quality of smoking tobacco. If
sound, they are classified, dipped in
large vat full of licorice solution. After
being thoroughly saturated, there are
taken out, hung upon sticks and per-
mitted to evaporate the moisture, to
avoid its becoming T" funky," or moldy.
When thoroughly dry, it is put into
large bulks and allowed to" draw'' un-
til ready for use. The leaf is next car
ried to table where the stem is extract
ed, and then formed into Jumps or rolls
an operation that requires almost as
much skill as cigar making, and fe-
males are generally employed, as their
fingers are more nimble. The Jumps
are next passed to the mills and shapes,
where the perfect ones are put into iron
cells or boxes, of which the shapes are
composed.
When filed, the shapes are covered
by a board, having followers to set inn
mediately over the tobacco and when
"set" or twelve of the shapes are thus
filled, they are fastened together In a
retainer" and secure a pressure Of
900 tons, under hydraulic press. They
are then run from under the press upon
rail tramway, and allowed to stand for
several hours. The plugs are then taken
out of the shapes, and each lump care.
fully repaclIed in finishing press, when
it is again placed under 200 ton pres

what l can do with them. How soon
must ] return with tbcmp"
Take your own time for It," said Mr..
sharp; I've seen enough of you to
know pretty well what you are"
Peter accordingly took the bills and
entered on his new task, following It up
with diligence and perseverance. In
few weeks he called again at sharp's
store.
Well, said Mr.. Sharp, have you
made out to collect anything on those
bills yet 2''
Yes," said Peter.
There were some of the ten per cent.
list that thought it probable you might
collect" said Mr. Sharp. "How many
have you collected ?"
All of them" said Peter.
All of them ~ said Sharp, swell,
fact, that's much more than l expected.
The twenty-five per cent. list were dead
dogs, wasn't itS You got nothing on
them, suppose, did you 7"
Yes, 1 did" said Peter
Did you, thought How much Y''
said Sharp.
3" 1 got them all, said Peter.
Oh, that's all joke" said Sharp.
mo, it isn't JOKE" said Peter
"I've collected every dollar of them,
and here's the money" taking out his
pOcket-pocket and counting out the
bills.
Mr. Sharp received the money with
the most perfect astonishment. He had
not expected that one half of the amount
would ever be collected.
He counted out the commissions on
the temper cent. list, and then the COM
missions on the twenty-five per cent.
list, and handed the sum over to Peter.
And then he counted out fifty dollars
more, and asked Peter to accept that as
present; partly" said he because
you have accomplished this task so very
far beyond my expectations, and partly
because my acquaintance with you has
taught nae one of the best lessons of my
life. 1t has taught me the value of per-
severance and punctuality. have re-
flected upon it much ever since you un-
dertook to board out the bill for the mag
azine at my house."
"Why, yes" said Peter, 81 think
perseverance and punctualisy are great
helps in the way of business"
IF every person in the eommuni-
ty," said Mr. Sharp, would make it
point to pay all of his bills promptly,
the moment they become due, what
vast improvement it would, make in the
condition of society all reund. That
would put people in condition, at all
times, to- be able to pay their bills
promptly.
We might add, that Peter Punetnal
afterwards opened store in the city, in
branch of business which brought Mr..
Sharp to be customer to him and he
has been one of his best customers over
since, paying all of his bills promptly,
and whenever Peter requires it, even
paying in advance.
