PAPER CURRENCY.

The mill in Dalton Mass, in
which the paper for the United
States paper currency ia made, is
described by the Boston Herald ::
Eighteen or twenty Treasury girls,
who earn So day, count the sheets,
examine each one closel y and reject
ing all imperfect ones. 40 sutom-
attic register at the end of the ma
chine registers every sheet as it is
cut off and laid down. The register
man takes them away in even hun
dreds, and they are Immediately
counted 10 the drying room. 10 all
the various processes OF finishing
every sheet is counted, and they
are again counted on their receipt
at the Treasury Department in
Washington. The great protection
of the Government against counter
feiting lies in the paper here made.
The distinctive feature is the intro
duction of colored silk thread into
the body of the paper while it is in
the process of manufacture They
are introduced while the paper is in
the pulp, and are carried along with
it to the end of the machine, where
it is delivered as actual paper. This
has been more fatal than anything
else to the professional counterfeit"
ers.'

CLOSE -FISTED.

Extravaganza in speech ID, OF
course, very reprehensible, but it
occasionally serves to present with
emphasis and force a truth which
might otherwise fail to make due
impression. Thus, recently, when
number of men we're talking about
an individual of their acquaintance
who had the reputation of being
rather "cIose" 10 financial matters
and uuduIy fond of money, one of
the party said "Wby, | was in
my office the other day, when be
came 10 to see me on some business.
An old fashioned copper cent was
lying on my desk, and the moment
be saw it his face lighted up and
he reached over for it and clutched
it so hard that he bent it right up
double, and afterward had to ham
mer it out to straighten it. Of
course. an instant's reflection caused
him to relax his grip and apologize
and say something about second ma
ture, but the incident gave fair
insight into the character of the man.
And all the others agreed that there
wasn't much exaggeration in the
story.
