CHIEF GRAVES ANNUAL REPORT.
Where the Paper Comes from Which We Are All Striving For-To Supplement the Steam Presses Would be Costly, and Is Said to be Unnecessary.

Is Said to be Unnecessary.
 WASHINGTON, Oct 29.-E. o. Graves, chief of the bureau of engraving and print ing, has completed his annual report to the secretary of the treasury. The report shows that the production of securities during the year just ended exceeded that of any precsd- ing year in the history of the bureau. There were printed and delivered to the depart ments 3S, ,O40,94S sheets of securities 5SSS, TIT. more than in 1887. Of United States notes, gold and silver certificates, bonds and na- ttonal bank notes, there were delivered 10,- 649, ,54S sheets, representing face value of $461 ,495, ,2SO There were printed and deliv- cred 25, ,950, 9SS sheets of internal revenue stamps, containing 6S9, ,S36, 422 separate stamps; of customs stamps there were pro- duced 420, POO sheets, and of miscellaneous se- curities 1 ,020, 24S sheets. There were turned out during the year P, or volumes of inter nal revenue stamps, drafts checks and simi= Jar securities.
 There were delivered to the treasurer of the United States during the year, in notes and certificates of the denominations of $2o and under S160, ,960, 900, of which $109, ,O6O, 900 consisted of silver certificates To Oct. 1, 1888, there have been delivered $29 764, 900 in $1 certificates, and $19, ,S4S, ,000 in $2 cer- titicates. To the same date there have been pIeSenlel to the treasurer Tor redemption &, ,59O 795 in $1 certificates, and $1 ,302 659 in $2 certificates. The rate of redemption is much less than that of any former issue of small notes during a like period, and proves that the new certificates have withstood the wear and tear of circulation remarkably well.
 The expenditures of the bureau for the fiscal year were S94S,9 appropriation, S964, ,03O. The expenses of the bureau in 1888 were increased at least $30O0O by the operation of the provision granting fifteen days annual leave with pay to it's employees, The report shows reduction in expendi- ture and increase in production for the three years just completed, compared with the three preceding years.
 "During the same period, |" says the report "a just and orderly system of promotion has been adopted, and the employees as rule have had moro constant employment and better wages than ever before, while they have been free from the terror of arbitrary dismissal l" | The work of the steam power plate printing presses, MT. Graves says, is equal to that of | the hand presses. To replace all the steam | power printing presses with hand roller plate | printing presses would add nearly $500, 900 to the annual expenses of the bureau, and would make it necessary to enlarge the building oc- cupied by the bureau in order to provide room in which to do the work

The act of dying. it is now ascertained

The act of dying, it is now ascertained, is absolutely free from suffering; it is really un- conscious, insensibility always preceding it. Any anguish that may attend mortal illness ceases before the close, as thousands who have recovered, after hope had been surrendered, have borne witness. Sudden and violent death shocking to the senses, may not be. pro- bably is not, painful to the victim Drown ing, hanging, freezing, shooting, falling from height, poisoning of many kinds, beget stu DOT or numbness of the nerves, which is in- compatible with sensation. Persons who have met with such accidents, and survived them, testify to this. Records to the esect ara numberless. .-Junius H. Browns in The Forum,
