WHY LEMONS ARE HIaH.-The importation
OF lemons 10 this country last week amounted
to only 10, 900 boxes. The week before 40, %
900 boxes arrived. The fruit is abnormally
high, with every prospect OF reaching figures
higher than have been known for many years
Mr.. Helings the large fruit dealer on Della
ware avenue, said on Saturday that it was not
true, as has been suggested, that there il q
corner in the fruit, but the advance is due to
the enormous consumption owing to the ex-
tremsly hot weather. The fruit Is now held
at from 81 TO 80 box, with some very fine
specimens at $l2. The imports have not
been heavy, Mr.. Hellings said, and this has
had a great deal to do with ihe very stiff mar
ket, but unquestionably more lemons have
been used this summer than ever before,
Lemons we're largely used for medicinal puT-
poses, and their use in hot weather for var
ious complaints, az we'll as for luxury, is be-
coming greater and greater every year.

NATIONAL WASTE PAPER.

How 1t Is Assorted by Watchful Maidens
In the Treasury Basement.
Down in the basement of the Treas
ury Department is room in which
about dozen girls sit and sort over
the waste paper which has accumulated
from the work of the day before by the
twenty-five hundred clerks in the room
above. All of the waste paper of the
department is transferred to this room
by the sweepers at the close of each
day. Then the girls go over it care
fully. piece by piece. and they fire.
quently make very valuable discover
les. Not long ago ten thousand dollars
worth of bonds were found in a waste
basket in the Office OF the Comptroller
of the Currency. and there was great
howl about it at the time, but in the
snd nobody was punished for the gross
carelessness; but such large sums as
this seldom find their way into the sort
ing room. The principal discoveries
are penholders and stationery which
has been accidentally dropped into the
waste baskets. Sometimes valuable
document disappears in an unaccount-
able manner from the files of the de-
partment. The rooms are ransacked,
and every one connected in the divi-
sion becomes well nigh crazy. As a
last resort the waste paper room is ap-
pealed to. In nine chances out of ten,
if the paper has been disposed of in that
way. the girls will find it. They have
become remarkably expert in sorting
over this rubbish. A girl will take a
mass of it in her hands, and. in less
than the time it takes to tell it, her
sharp eyes will have seen all the differ
ent pieces, and if there is even scrap
that looks as though it might be val
liable. it is carefully laid aside for fu-
ture examination. Experience has con-
vinced the Treasury officials that these
girls annually save many times their
salaries to the Government The sale
of the waste paper is one of consider
able Importance, and the revenue each
year is, in the course of business,
turned back into the Treasury. where
it properly belongs.-Washington Cor.
