Loading the Vaults.

There are SOC tons of silver coin lyincI
in the large silver vault of the United
States sub-treasury in this city. ThisI
represents a total valuation of $32, $685.
900, of which about 1922, 900, 900. or G2O}
tons, are in legal tender silver dollars.
This immense deposit Of silver coin isl
being increased steadily by corporations
and merchants, who take advantage of
their lawful privilege to exchange the|
bulk coin that comes into their posses
sion in the course of trade for silver GER
tificates. Trade dollars can not be thus
exchanged, the Treasury Department.
not recognizing these coins as legal
tender, but simply as bullion. The del
sire to get rid of silver coin, especially
the heavy dollars, appears to be increase
ing among business men, and at the rate
they are o pouring it into the subj
treasury they are likely to fill the vaults
completely in q short time. OF the1
twelve compartments in the large :silyerl
vault four or five contain as much as
they will hold, and are tightly sealed up.
The silver coin is packed away in stout
cotton bags, $1,000 in each bag. and in
the largest full compartment there is
5000, 600 in Bland dollars. In another
compartment there is Sc, 2O6, 600 in dol
lars, and a tag on the sealed door OF a
third compartment informs the visitor
that therein is SO. 200, 900 in silver
quarters. A bag of silver of the value
of 81, 1000 weighs fifty-fye pounds. Mr..
Floyd, the chief clerk in the sub-treas-
ury, stated yesterday that there was an
occasional day when no silver coin was
brought there for redemption, but as q
rule they received from So DOC, to $40
600 in silver each day. "~The'business
men do not seem to want silver" re-
marked the old gentleman.
The accumulation Of gold at the sub
treasury is also assuming large proper
tions. The amount locked up in the
vaults of that institution yesterday was
1913, 678, 495. 1t takes $542,6N0 of gold
to make a ton. The gold is put up in
bags of $4,000 each, and packed away
and sealed in iron compartments. which
are made to hold just $500, 900. In
one small room in the gold vault, the
reporter was~informed, there were $40.
600, 600 of gold coin sealed up. The
great weight of gold and silver in the
s~ub-treasury rests upon a floor of solid
masonry and concrete, between twenty
and thirty feet thick. Many business
men who have more trade dollars than
they know what to do with, take such
coin to the United States Assay-oifice,
where it is weighed, and its value in
bars is exchanged for it. The silver
bars can be readily sold for legal tender
paper money. Silver trade dollars to
the amount Of $1,000 will bring about
$840 when thus converted into silver
bullion. Its exact price depends upon
the quality of weight and fineness
and upon the market price of silver

That Sleeping Car Decision.

Referring to the recent decision in the

Car Company charges an extra price
for furnishing sleeping facilities to
travellers" it is bound to protect them
when asleep; the New York Times says
the mere fact that by this decision a
company is bound to protect its sleeping
car passengers from robbery is not the
most important feature of the case,
Unless the passenger who has bought
a sleeping car ticket has opportu-
mites to sleep, he is defrauded,. He
must be protected in using his faeil-
tiles for sleeping--in other words, the
company must not only supply beds. bat
it must make it possible Tor people To

The clouds that intercept the sky
Seem dreary, dark and rude,
As every brilliant ray of light
Those gloomy shades exclude.
But when the gloomy shades have flown,
The sun, with splendCT light,
Reflects upon a bluer sky
A purer, clearer light.
If winters bleak, unwelcome blasts
Their storms would never bring,
No one could realize the JOY

Each storm in life is followed by
Its corresponding calm;
For every pain, there is, in turn,
An unknown, soothing balm.
So, oft on sandy desert plains,
Where comfort is unknown,
The traveller pants for rest and shade,
Beneath the burning sun.
When he has reached the oasis,
Where natures beauties glow,
His heart with deepest gratitude
Is made to overflow.
The flower that blooms in solitude
Conceals its fragrance there,
Till, severed from its tiny stem,
Its sweet perfume is rare.
When crushed and bruised, the tender leaves,
That once were naught but bloom,
VIII render, in their withered state,
Abundant, rich perfume.
Fresh from the mine the golden ore
Is naught but worthless stone.
To render pure, the dross must be
Consumed by fire alone.
