with broad intellectual forehead and
cheeks us rosy as milkmaid He was not
long ago In Paris, and while there visited
one of the leading engraving establishments
of France He did not say who he was, but
asked for samples Of their work and was
shown, as such, some of his own work which
he had done in New York.
After the bank notes are printed the sheets
are taken to the drying room and left there
over night The drying room is an air tight
compartment, heated by steam to a tenipera-
ture of $50 degrees above zero. In the morn-
ing the sheets are taken out and carefully
examined for imperfections. The least fault
causes tho sheet to be thrown aside and a
torn sheet is never used. If the least bit of
ink has gotten upon them, or if there is the
slightest mistake In tho printing, the sheets
are thrown out and the printer has an
amount deducted frcn his wages for each
sheet so lost. The perfect sheets are put up
in packages Of 900 each, with ten slips of
paper between each hundred notes. The

There is residing in tho suburbs gen
tlcman who is the owner of a very large
amount of real estate. but who is one of
tho most negligent of persons in regard to
dress, his clothing being almost invaria-
bly, of the shabbiest description. This
negligence is an eccentricity, and is not
dine TO penuriousness, for he is generous
and of warm and genial nature. Not
many days ago, a tramp called at his
honse during tho owners absence, and, as
it was the noon hour, the latter's wife, a
very sympathetic and kind hearted
woman, gave the nomad good dinner.
Having finished the meal and thanked the
giver of the same. the tramp started off
but just as he got to the gate he met the
owner of the premises, and Judging by his
dress that they were of the same frater-
nifty, the wanderer said: Look here
pard, it's leetle rough for two O. us to
work the same house durin' the same
hour. Jist try some other place this
time. for yender's too good a woman to
have to feed the both O us today. .'-Bos-

EXAMINING MONEY PAPER.


are 10000 pieces of steel in the vault, and all
told they will weigh fifty tons. Every piece
of steel is carefully watched, and this fifty
tons of little steel plates is the bottled up
brains and eyesight of hundreds of Eood en-
gravers. Useless plates are never thrown
away They must be destroyed in the pres
erce of witnesses, and they are taken to the
Navy yard and melted there.
1t is impossible to estimate the care With
which Uncle Sam watches every movement
in regard TO his money matters. Here every
sheet of bank note paper that comes into the
department is counted, and every SCI up must
be accounted for by those who use it. Bank
note paper is originally grayish white in
color. It has red and blue threads of silk
running through It, and when the 81 Gets are
given out the requisition specifies e1ctly for
what they are to be used. 1t is IA curious
thing, too, that in receipting for the paper
the superintendent has TO receipt for tho
amount of money which it will represent
when it is printed If he wants 1000 sheets
for go notes he gives his receipt for 800, 900.
and if he wants 1900 sheets for SO notes he
gives receipt for $4,000.

notes are then polished by being put between
mill boards and a pressure of 5000 pounds to
the square inch being placed upon them
They are then sealed and numbered, the
numbering being done by automatic ma
chimes run by women. There are, in fact,
more women than men in this department,
and ladies make the best Of money counters.
There Is a lady counter here who is the
fastest in the world, and she counts hun
dreds of bills per minute. Her fingers go
like lightning, and she does not move her lips
as she counts. She does not keep her eyes on
the notes, and sho seems to work by intui-
ton. -
All the notes which come from the bureau
of printing and engraving are made up into
packages Of from $4,000 to sc, 600, for
convenient use in the cash room of the treas
ury. Thepackaees contain exactly the same
number of notes, but the notes differ in value
from 81 600 to $4,000. Ten thousand dollars
is the highest legal tender note authorized by
law, and it is needless to say that few notes
of this denomination are in circulation. In
the cash vault of the treasury you may get
the chance to handle a package containing
$40, ,000, coo, If you are on good terms with
the cashier, but the money will be carefully
watched while it is in your hands. and the

worth of mutilated dirty bank notes are thus
disposed of every year, and the counterfeit

ing. Il stands under the shadow of the big
white Washington monument, on the banks OF
the Potomac, and it is within stones throw
of the White House and Treasury. 1t looks
like factory, and the whole neiShborhood
huns with the noise of its machinery. 1t Is
of red brick, nicely finished, and it is one OF
the newest buildings of the government The
American flag floats from a staff on its ROOF
and officers in uniform stand about its doors.
Every man who enters this big money mill Is
carefully scrutinized and no one goes through
1t without pass.
On Saturdays the general public is admit
ted to see the building, and guides conduct
the visitors through it. These guides are
timber tongued girls who understand thor
oughly the working of the department and
ali about money making. They can tell you
the story of IS bill from the time it leaves
the old rags of the paper makers until it
comes back here again as soiled currency to
be mashed up into pulp and cast into the
little ornaments and statuettes furnished for
sale by curiosity venders-
Take walk with her through the depart
ment She will show you how the plates are
engraved and how the dies are cut in many
pieces. You will only see the backs of the
engravers. They work in their shirt sleeves,
with their faces toward the windows, and
have little cnbby holes which shut them OFF
from interruption No one engraver is
allowed to make a whole bank note. Each
cuts part of one in steel, and each has his
speciality. Some of the finest cngravers in
the world are here, and some of the faces
which you see every day on your 81 and IS
bills comprise hundreds Of dollars worth OF
work. Take the face of Garfield upon the s.
bank notes, and it took one man two months
to eDgrave the plate that made it This en-
craving has to be done upon steel A draw
ing is first made in pen and ink, and then
the work is transferred to steel by the en-
graver 1t requires an artist to do it, and
the best engravers work SO slowly that you
can hardly notice their progress from day
to day. The steel plates upon which this
work is done are of the finest make, and
they are really worth their weight in silver.

BUREAU OF ENGRANING AND PRINTING.
Some of thesa notes of the government
have romances mixed up with their making.
The face of goddess of liberty may be that
Of the sweetheart of the engraver, and the
ideal pictures of the various notes have usu-
ally their counterparts in real life. Some of
the engravers do nothing but scroll work,
and the best engraving is done by hand.
There is IN engraving machine here which
does the delicate line and lathe work running
in and out in n thousand delicate threads on
the back of the notes. This machine is the
invention of Homer Lee, of the Homer Lee
Bank Note company, of New York. 1t will
turn out 3, COO impressions a day, and it only
takes ono man to operateit.
Returning to the plates, as soon as they
are engraved the steel is hardened and q
number of other dies are made from it. The
taking care Of the plates is u very important
work, for in case they should fall into the
hands of counterfeiters their work could not
oe detected The dies are every morning
given out by the man in charge of them.
The m.ei Is known as the custodian of the
vault, and he gets 81 500 a year. He keeps
the plates in vault ut night, and when they
are distributed in the morning those who
receive them have to give a receipt
for them. II die is lost the depart
ment doors are closed and locked, and all tie
employees must stay until it is found. The
vault in which the plates are kept at night
are burglar and fire proof. The massive
door has three locks, one of which is time

nation locks. These combination locks are
each known TO one man, and should one of
these die Suddenly sealed envelope in the
possession of Secretary Fairchild would have
to be opened to find the combination. There

A Novelty In Watches.

English cavalry officers have been the
means of furnishing people from the states
with novelty il watches. The cavalry
men have found it convenient while on
horseback to ca,ty their timepieces on u
strap around their wrists TO save them
selves the trouble of unbuttoning their
coats whenever they want to know the
time of day. Some one turned up at the
Metropole few days ago with o watch
worn as bracelet. and now nearly every
American who wants to be in style carries
his timepiece in this manner. They are
really of value to men on horseback.
