nerves, as each note has to be scru-
tinized very closely to see that it is
not counterfeit, and the counter in
must know the name of every bank
that has a counterfeit upon it, and
have it in his mind full description
of the false note so as to be able to
detect it at sight. The superintend-
ent says counterfeit notes are thrown
out by these experts without hesita-
ton every time they come to them.
They have line of notes passing be-
fore their eyes all the tins, and any
flaw or defect they notice on the in

Two hundred and forty appoint
ments have been made during the II
years of the agency's existence, and
40 of the 81 employees now there have
served from the first. a new hand is
doing remarkably well if he or she
learns to count 500 per day on the as
sortment, which is the easiest, while
these old hands Will count 10000 a
day if the notes are fairly good. Wo-
men are employed for this business
because of the delicacy of their touch
and on account Of the fact that they
are not so apt to have bad habits, or
when they do, it is more quickly dis
covered than IN the case of a man.
They must be young, quick and
healthy and well educated, and their
salaries, which are paid through the
treasury by the banks, for the taree
grades Of work are rated at 5000, 81, :
900 and $1,000. The cashiers and
two or three of the counters are old
men.
To witness the silence and system
in the office IS a remarkable sight; the
eye Of the counters cannot for an in
slant be taken from the notes, and
their fingers fly through the money
like fine machinery; one greenback
following another in never ending
procession all day long. It is said
that three counters Cor counteresses)
see every line of engraving on the
face of a note at a glance as it passes
through their fingers.

The Bronze Door In the Capitol.

New York Graphic

One of the finest works of art liz
Washington is the bronze door of the
capitol, which fills the doorway lead :
ing from the grand portico into the
rotunda It was modelled in Rome
in 1858 by Randolph Rogers, and cast
in bronze at Munich in 1860 by L. Won
Miller, at total cost of $4,000. The
valves of the door stand in a superbly
enriched casing, also of bronze, and
fold back into suitably fitted jambs.
In height it is nineteen feet, and nine
feet wide, weighing twenty thousand
pounds
In 1862 this door stood in the south
doorway of the old hall of representa-
tives. In 1881 it was removed to its
present situation, which is more ap-
propriate, as it is now the front door
of the capitol, and can be easily ex>
amined by strangers. Each wing of
the door has four large panels, and
eight smaller ones. The events porr
trayed in the larger panels constitute
in alto rilievo the principal events in
the life of Columbus and the discovery
of America, while IN the 16 smaller
ones are beautiful statuettes Of his
patrons and eminent contemporaries.
On the key of the arch is an excellent
head of Columbus. In the casing are
four typical statuettes, representing
Asia, Africa, Europe, and America,
while between the panels is series of
heads representing the historians of
the life and voyages Of Columbus and
his followers, among them Washing
ton Irving and w. II. Prescott.
The subjects portrayed in the large
panels are as follows: The lower
panel on the left-hand door shows
Columbus being examined before the

A HALE OLD AGE.
James Freeman Clarke Explains
HOW it May be Attained.

The friends of Rev. DR.. James
Freeman Clarke, as well as others,
will read the following, written by
him to the Herald of Health, with in
tercst:
I cheerfully comply with your re-
quest to give you a brief account of
my habits of living. [ find myself at
the age of rs still able to do a good
deal of work, and I attribute it, under
Providence, to the following causes ::
1, | am not of an anxious tempera-
ment; I do not worry. am not to
any great extent annoyed by disap-
peintmcnts Or failures; and it has
never disturbed nae when I have been
censured, so long as | believed I was
doing right.
9 [ have a great faculty for sleep
Ling. Althoug able to keep awake
when necessary without much injury,
| can always fall asleep at any mo-
ment when sleep seems desirable.
These fragments of rest are, no doubt,
of great service to me.
3. [ have always, from childhood,
been fond of outdoor exercise. be-
gan to ride on horseback when only
about s years old, and when a lad I
joined with delight in all out of door
sports-skatirg. swimming, rowing
and playing ball, and also IN indoor
athletic exercises, such as fenciag,
boxing and gymnastics. But all those
belonged to an early period of my
life.
T. have few fixed habits, and am
fond Of change. When [ have done
anything In one way for few times
enjoy 1t differently. But if this ten
dency has its advantages, it, on the
other hand, prevents me from receiv-
ing the benefit which comes from es>
tablished methods or w ork.
5. Although when young smoked,
I have not used tobacco since I was
26. Ia half a century I have only
smoked two cigars, and those only be-

was malarious.
6. Finally, I love work, and es-
pecially brain work. My professional
duties as a clergyman have been TO
me a source of great happiness. I
have also written several books and
many articles for the press, and be-
lieve that this kind OF work has been
beneficial to my health.
