SOME STARTLING FACTS.

rhn rnrl,,s Love of Ease.

JUDGING by the thousands of soldiers whom
I saw after the emeute liz bulgaria ID 1883,
and by the physique and robustness OF thoSe
who, every Friday, pass our legation on
their way to the Salemlik, think that tho
average Turk is in contented and healthy
state. He shows an equitable temper and
regular life. His religious observances and
grave countenance give to his habitual re-
serve, not merely the outward sign, but the
inward kindness Joined with an easy man
ner Suppose he has the love of ease; sup
pose he is deficient in our ethics and edlca-
tion: suppose his mental faculties are not
fully developed and sophisticated; suppose
he does lolI upon a divan and pass the time
with his guests in talking of indifferent
things suppose he is content with his Chi
bouque ana coffee, his mosque, bath and
repetitiuus prayers, his game of chess or
backgammon; suppose he is eager to listen
to the old tales, proverbs and parallels, or
revels in the enjoyment of his astrologies and
his pilaf-it may be said of him, that when
he comes down to work as n mechanic or
merchant he is honest and fair in his labor
and dealings.
As II farmer he serenely plows his fields
and reaps his harvest5 amid the viciSsitudes
of his lot and his trials with the tax gatherer.

toward his family, and loyal to his sovereign
and religion. In summing up his character,
the qualities of patience, candor, content
mcnt and resignation are conspicuous beyond
those of any other race upon the footstool Ii
the religion. of the Koran pervades every act
of his life and mixes with his every occupa-
ton: if his prayer, by its frequent dropping,
wears away the stonness of his heart still

The Careless Nnrse.

Few children escape certain unfortunate
consequences of their incessant activity. The
child who has never been cut, bruised or
burned has probably not led the happiest nor
most bealthful life. The pliable bones, the
highly vitalized tissues, enable the little ones
to withstand an astonishing amount Of vio-
lence On two occasions has the writer seen
picked from the bricks, where it had fallen
from the third story of the fronting house, a
soft, plump, round baby, as bruisable appar-
emily as u ripe peach, yet showing no symp-
tom nor sign Of serious injury. On the other
hand, n careless nurse swings the little one
by its wrist or thoughtlessly twists its arm in
putting on or taking of a too tight garment,
and there is a sprained joint or broken bone.

Every time ID "a issued in the bureau, no mat
ter TO what division, it is counted when given
out in the morning and counted when re-
turned in the evening. The other counts
during the progress of the work are stated
above. II there is any discrepancy in the
balances at the close of the work, if a single
sheet of paper is missing, not single en-
ploye is allowed TO leave the building until
the discrepancy is explained or the sheet OF
paper is found.
In regard to the engraved stock there Is a
similar system Of checks. Every plate, roll
or die, either finished or unfinished, is kept
in a vault presided over by custodian APP
pointed by and responsible to the secretary
Of the treasury.
CARE OF THE PLATES.
The superintendent of the engraving divi-
sion makes requisition on this custodian
every morning for the stock that he desires
for use during the day, and as each piece OF
steel is delivered it is checked by its number
and description and charged against him.
He in bis turn, charges the stock to the en-
CraVers, transferrers and cleaners who use
them. Only the roll, die or plate required
for immediate use il issued, and this must be
returned and checked OFF Immediately the
work il finished. At the close of work all
the cugrayers and transferTers return their
rolls, dies and plates aud they are checked IN,
and the whole amount is then turned over to
the custodian and by him checked OFF piece
BY piece before it is placed in the vault.
The supcrintendent Of the printing division
goes through the same operation in regard to
the plates that he requires to print from. De
makes requisition on the custodian for those
he REQUIRES, and they are charged to him I'M
til they are returned at the close Of work and
checked OF. The bureau is n busy workshop,
and furnishes employment to some $40 per-
sons. The number of employees varies with
the amount of work required. In times OF
pressure, such as when there was big de-
mnud for four per cent. bonds some years ago,
the work is kept going constantly night and
day without iutermlssiOn. Then there are
three separate forces who work eight hours
each, and as soon as one finishes another Is
ready to take up the work.
There is one process which has not been
mentioned, aud that is the final disposition OF
the notes and securities after they have been
l1sed and passed from hand to hand until they
are Thoroughly worn out. When the bills
and bonds are returned to the treasury as
worn out they are Cancelled, and then, under
the sllparviston of special committee, they
are placed in a macerater and ground into
pulp again. THIS pulp is worked into heavy
nosteboard and sold to a firm who has con-
tracted to purchase it, and by themit is again
worked over into different kinds of paper.
So from paper it returns again, if not IN It's
ORIGINAL, at least to a kindred state-Wash-
ingtOn Gazette.

The Way to Succeed.

Young man, you, we mean, who
are just starting in the business of
farming in your own particular &C.
count, and are limited in means,
don't let your ideas run into extray-
agances. but keep them down to q
plain. sensible, practicable level.
You are beginning at the bottom of
the ladder, and if you can't now reach
to its topmost round, don't despair.
Those who have got up that far
through their own efforts commenced
where you are beginning. We are
not going to disguise the fact that the
ascent will be to you through much
toll, many hardships and perhaps a
good many depressing circumstances.
However, you have it in your pow
er to steer clear of much that goes to
make up the hard lot of many farm
ers. If nature has endowed YOU
with good outfit of health and
strength, willingness to put your
own shoulder to the wheel, a disre-
gard of the opinsons of class of peo-
pie in the world who uispise the dav
of small beginnings, determination
to make the utmost of the possibili-
ties surrounding you, and withal an
uncomfortable ambition to succeed
all along the way, you will derive
great satisfaction from the thought
and consciousness of your steady
progress, and, after all, you will not
think your lot such hard one as you
sometimes imagined it would be az
the outset. Farmer.
