The System Adopted for the E1aminatio
of Julius Tower at Spandau.


of Julius Tower at Spandau.
The inspection of the Julius Tower,
at Spandau, near Berlin, in which
120, 900 marks of the indemnity
paid by France are kept ready for any
emergency, takes place in the follow
ing way: Two members of the ma
tional debt sinking fund committee are
delegated for the purpose, but the
castle can only be opened when they
put their little KEYS into the lock to-
gether. In no other way is the lock to
be opened. As to the time of opening,
a careful note is to be made in the
register. The 120,000,000 are divided
into twelve parts, each again being di-
vided into ten equal sums. The money
is kept in immense bags of 100000
marks, of which two-thlrds are in 20
mark and the rest in 10-mark pieces.
As soon as the revision begins one of
the larger divisions of money is APP
preached, and from it smaller division
is taken for the purpose of being
counted through. For this work a
military detachment is told off, so that
it may be done in moderate time. Two
or three of the 100,000-mark divisions
having been counted, this part of the
revision is over. There are also here
other imperial funds-as, for example,
portions of the Reichstag, fertilization,
and retired-list funds-and these, too,
have to be counted. When the revision
is over document is signed by two
revisors, the two keys lock the door
simultaneously. and the proceeding is
over.-Cor. Chicago Shoe and Leather

ONE BY ONE.

One by one the hours meet US
In the shadow or the shine.
With the Joy that comes to greet us,
Or the care that waits in line.
One by one, and not in masses,
The heavy burden we must lift1
Bravely bear ng. till 1t passes
From US, steadily and swift.
One by one the bricks are laid in building,
Till the temple reaches grandest height.
With its slender spires OF FURNISHED gliding
Pointing upward to the light
One by one each day will bring its duty,
Whilst courage meets the single need,
Till all trials blossom into beauty,
Till the toiler weaves the good into the deed
One by one, our heart-beats tell the story
OF the earth-life measured here,
or its mystic web of golden glory,
Wrought from sorrow's falling tear.
