Fibered Bank Note Paper.

The fibred bank note paper on which
our legal tenders, national bank note
currency and government bonds are
printed, is made at Dalton, Mass, in an
old mill, whose existence dates back to
colonial times. If you should happen
this way some time, and should stop at
the old paper mill, with proper creden-
tials, you may, perhaps, be allowed to
handle sheet OF the crisp fibre paper,
or take peep at the pulp press, where,
as the wet, grayish pulp is pressed be-
tween heavy iron cylinders, bits OF blue
and red silk thread are scattered over
it's face and silken ribs laid on it's sur
face. You may go beyondin the count
ing room, where each sheet as it comes
from the drying room is carefully ex-
amined and counted, and then returned
to the paper cutter to be divided into
smaller sheets. If you trace this paper
still further you will find that from the
cutters hand it passes again into the
counting room, is separated into little
packages containing 1000 sheets each.
the amount recorded in register, and
then packed into bundles and stored in
fire and burglar proof vaults to await
shipment to the United States treasury.
From pulp room to vault the precious
paper is watched and guarded as Care
fully rs though each sheet were an
ounce of gold. Its manufacture IS one
of the greatest secrets connected with
the governments money making. From
the vaults of the paper mill at Dalton
to the guarded store rooms OF the treas
ury at Washington is but a journey OF
two or three days. In the capacious
vaults of the treasury building, among
gold and silver and copper and nickel
coins, bullion, paper currency and Off
cial records, you will find thousands OF
packages of the bank note paper that is
manufactured ut Dalton. 1t comes IN
little iron safes, such as are used by the
Adams Express Company, and each
package and every sheet is carefully
counted before the manufacturers and
express company are relieved of further
responsibility. Tie paper that arrives
to day may lie in the treasury store
rooms for years, or it may be sent to
the bureau of engraving and printing
to morrow, to return in u months time,
a legal tender or bank note.-N.Y. Sun.

Four Generations.

A son and heir has been born to
Prince Frederick Wilhelm of Prussia.
This makes four generations of Hohen-
zollers, Kaiser William being of the
first generation, and the baby born q
month back of the fourth. The EN-
peror is 85 years of age. His son, the
Grown Prince, married the Princess
Royal of England in 1868. In the fol-
loving year a son was born to them,
who in 1881 married the Princess Au-
gusta Victoria of Eolstein-Augusten-
burg. 1t is this Princess who has just
presented her lord with a boy. What
a he 10 of royalty surrounds that cradle.
This little baby represents by descent
two great empires, Germany and Great
Britain. - Demoresfs Monthly for

Resulting In Goodness.

The "preliminaries" Of the occasion
had all been settled. That is, John had
asked Julia, and she had consented.
They were sitting on the front veranda
watching for the sable curtain of night
to part and give them just one look at
the new comet,
"Oh, by the way, julia" said he, 9
little nervously, my income isis
$3.50 now. Do You think We could live
up to itT"
~Why, John, you precious, ] can live
up to an income twice as big as that all
by myself

mere mechanical bit Of osculation.-

Progress i'm Railroad Building.

Last year was most remarkable one
in extent of railroad construction. Ac-
cordiDg to Poor's Manual, the number
of miles built exceeded nine thousand
and three hundred, which is the great
est mileage yet reached in any year in
the history of railroad building in this
country. The maximum attained in
any previous year was in 1871, when
seven Thousand aud three hundred miles
we're constructed, or two thousand less
than we're built in 1881. During the
year 1881 the number Of miles of rail-
railroad in operation in the country
was increased by something over
eleven thousand, bringing the total at
the end Of that year mp to about q hun
and five thousand. The marvellous ex-
tension of railways in the United States
in recent years IS shown by the fact
that the aggregate mileage has been
doubled since 1870. Therspid progress
Of last year Is still kept mp. During
the first six months Of this year about

Wesley's Tact.


The following anecdote of the founder Of
Mcthodism has, we believe, never been pub
lished. 1t reaches US from a trustworthy
source, and it illustrates in a remarkable
manner the mingled tact and piety of that
eminent man
Although Wesley, like the Apostles, found
that his preaching did not greatly affect the
mighty or the noble, still he numbered some
families Of good position among his follow
cr3. 1t was at the house Of one OF these that
tho incident hero recorded took place. Yves
ley had been preaching; and a daughter OF
neighboring gentleman, girl remarkable
for her beauty, had been profoundly i'm
pressed by his exhortations. After the SER
mon Wesley was invited to this gentleman's
house to luncheon, and with himself one of
his preachers was entertained This preach
er, like many Of the class at that time, was
a man of plain manners, and not con-
scious of the restraints Of good society. The
fair young Methodist sat beside him at the table,
and he noticed that she wore number of rings.
During pause in the meal the preacher took hold
of the young LADY, hand and raising it in the air,
called Wesey's attention to the sparkling jewels.
What do you think Of this, sir" he said "for a
Methodist hand
The girl turned crimson. For Wesley, with his
known and expressed aversion to finery, the ques-
ton was peculiarly awkward one. But the aged
evangelist showed q tact which Chesterfield might
have envied. He looked up with quiet benevo-
lent smile, and simply said. THE hand is very
beautiful"
The blushing beauty had expected something
far different from reproof wrapped up with such
felicity in a compliment. She had the good sense
to say nothing; but when few hours later, she
again appeared in Wesleys presence. the beautiful
hand was stripped of every ornament except those
which nature had given.-Loadoa Society.
