HOW MONEY Is MADE.
The Curious and Interesting History of n
Government Dollar.

Government Dollar.
The fact that money is a subject of
universal interest probably accounts for
the large number OF visitors to the
Bureau OF Engraving and Printing at
Washington. where Uncle sam prints
his promises to pay and the various
stamps required to be used on certain
articles No stranger on a short visit
10 the Capital will fail to visit this insti-
tuition and trace the history of a dollar.
from the time it is simply sheet of
blank paper until he sees il bundled up
with lot of its fellows. ready to be
sent to the bank and paid out through
the pigeon hole of the paving teller.
The paper on which our National Sc
curities are printed is manufactured at
present in New England. The owners
of the mills that make it are the pat
entees of what is called the LOCALIZED
blue fiber" which runs through the
right hand end of the United States
notes. and ON the back of the bonds. etc.
The peculiar fiber is the great obstacle
TO the counterfeiter A Government Of
ticer receives the paper from the con-
tractor. counts it. and holds it until it
is needed at Washington. Each paper
making machine has an automatic reg
lister. BY which the mill owners account
TO the Government for every square
inch of paper they make, and the key
of this machine is held by Govern
ment officer who watches the work.
The paper. after it is made, is sent to
the Treasury Department at Washing
ton. and from there the superintendent
of the Bureau of Engraving and Print
ing orders it rs he finds need. He gives
a receipt for the number of sheets he
takes, and the printer, who next re-
ceives this precious blank paper, gives
a receipt to the superintendent. And
now the paper is ready to receive its
first impression.
The number of persons employed in
the bureau at present is nine hundred,
two-thirds of the number being women.
In the case of the ladies who are en-
gagged in examining. counting, cutting
the money and cumming the stamps,
they are employed directly by the Gov
eminent. In the case of the printers it
is different. The printer, always a
man. is employed BY the Government.
and he hires such female help as he
needs. The printer is paid by piece
work, and no matter how little or how
much lie earns. he must pay each OF
his female help Sl.2j day. Ii he is
sick and obliged TO be absent from
business the pay of the girls goes on

The late Bishop Scott was strongly
attached TO outdoor sports. In early
youth he was forced BY poverty to fish
for living. and to the latest years OF
his long life he retained fondness
which he frequently INDUCED for the
hook and line and net. He was expert
at the tiller and at the oars. and was
also crack shot with a fowling piece
or rifle. After he had risen to the high
est honors of the church, he often took
delight in roaming through the fields
and woods. and sailing on the streams
or the bay, accompanied by his grand
sons and other boys of the neighbor-
hood. who found him a genial comrade
and an apt instructor in the srortsman's
arts.-Chicago Tioies.

HIS Revolver.

A travelling man, writing from Buffalo

Fisher, and he was making trip ont through the

AFTER THE BATTLE !


No more is blown the bngc from the hill,
The cattle rest amid the fields once more;
Again we hear the music Of the mill
The din and fury OF the night arc DER
But whore arc they, the valiant and tho ieal,
Who, all undaunted, faced the tooman's steel,
Whilst shook the sod beneath the lannon's peal?
Gone to their rest! Gone TO their rest
beneath yon swelling mounds at peace they lie;
Soft showers keep their resting places green;
Above their graves the zephyrs gently sigh,
Mud Dian slvors tho sequcsterod scene,
Than these the summer landscape bears no trace
OF war grim tokens on It's smiling face.
God guard these heroes for a little space
Gone to their rest Gone to their rost
Where once the turf was dronched with human gore
The dow-drops sparkle In the morning sun;
Where erst was heard the dcadly conflict roar,
The mayls nuteth when the day Is done.
Aud straylng lither in the hush Of night,
When all is flooded with the liquid light,
We think Of thoso-thc foremost in the fight
Gone to their rost Como to their rest
