Granada during the hot weather was
very delightful indeed. Everybody knows
the delights of the A~lhambra, and, as the
best part of the town stands high, it was
comparatively cool. We had rooms in

Il own servants with us, and when we
did not feel inclined to have cooking done
at home, could 60 to the hotels close by,

You might persuade yourself easily
enough hat you had left behind the hustle

time moves so gently that hundred years
more or less does not seem to matter
much-there is a quiet retrospective air
about things which is eminently soothing,
and on the breezy heights of the Alham-
bra the noise and jar of cities appear IS
far off as if they belong to another world.
Everything is full of an ineffable sense of
repose, of peace, of long unbroken
silences, save when the irrepressible tour
list breaks in upon you unobserved and
disturbs your sense of the fitness of
things.
AS you stand at your window at night

next morning and see Granada dimly
shining in the golden mist of dawn far

At Uncle SANS sub-rreasury.

There are other advantages derived
from the sub-treasury. Bills become
worn and unfit for service, and these, in
amounts of $500, will be taken at the de
positories and fresh, new bills be given in
exchange. Then, too, coin is being called
in at certain times to give place to later
coinage. The silver dollars in circulation
before the Bland bill of 1873, commonly
known as ''the dollars of our daddies,"
and appearing on the assistant t~reasurer's
report as "dads," have been called in.
Twenty-cent coins and fractional cur
rency have been called in by the depart
ment. These coins or currency when re-
Ceived at any of the-sub-treasuries are
held until an amount of sufficient worth
is received, when it is shipped to Wash
ington, the silver being recoined and the
currency destroyed.
The reporter asked Assistant Treasurer
Shultz regarding counterfeit money and
as to whether it was ever received in his
office. He replied that it was seldom
any %counterfeits were received, as the
principal part of their business was trans
acted through banks, and it is rarely the
case that a bad bill or a spurious
coin passes the vigilant eyes of the
~tellers. When bills or coins are
IeCelNeu lne money passes through
the hands of his chief teller or
his assistant, and they are each experts
in detecting counterfeits. A bill passing
through their hands and having the
slightest appearance of being spurious is
closely examined and then it becomes
apparent at once that some outside party
is trading upon the good name and credit
of Uncle Sam. None of the counterfeits
are perfect. In bills there is a deficiency
in the size or a poor job of engraving on
the vignette, a difference in the thickness
of the paper, a something which is at
once apparent to the experts and it is at
once thrown aside. An iron stamp, bear
ing the word counterfeit, in raised
letters, is then heated in a gas Jet, and
the word fumed into the bill so that it
can never be defaced. This is then given
back the owner-as though that were
any consolation. A silver piece found to
be spurious is cut in two and the pieces
returned. An average of probably three
or four bills comes into the sub-treasury
in the course of a month and are thus
treated.-St. Louis Republic,

rho Schools of Greece.

There is a visible Greece and an invis-
IDLE Greece, and the visible Greece is a
hot bed of pr~opagandism. Education is
the weapon she is using with immense
power in every country which she hopes
to call her own. There are large schools
carried on vigorously at Smyrna, Con-
st%antinople, S~alonica, Mt. Athos, Jan
nina, Kozana (Macedonia); in Crete, and
in many islands of the Egean. The
Greeks are well aware that in the end in
telligence wins the day. When the
crisis comes educated men will control
matters.
These schools have been established
and are supported by private funds.

wealthy outside their own country.
They are so many frontier fortresses
which are all the more powerful because
they employ weapons of peace. The
Turk has no counter weapon except that

1t was pleasant to look at the gang of
Greek immigrants that had been brought
to Castle Garden by n steamship from
one of the Mediterranean ports. They
had come from the vicinity of ancient
Athens to try their fortunes in New
York. 1t was evident to any one who
looked at their garb as they set foot upon
IL shores and meandered through Bat

pie, whose lives had been very hard, but

Big Holders of Bank Stock.

yet you never see his name among real es-
tate buyers, nor is he found in the rail
road market. On the other hand, being a
banker himself, he knows that it pays
well, and he therefore puts his money in
this shape. few years ago the public was
astonished to learn that he owned q half
million in one bank-this fact having
been revealed in the course of an ~investi-
cation, and it is now supposed that he
has several millions Illus invested. The
Astors also hold heavy amounts of bank
stock. Old John Jacob, who died forty
years ago, was one of the largest share
holders in the Bank of America and tho
Manhattan company, and the family has
been increasing this investment ever
since. The Havemeyers are large bank
stock owners. There are retired families
In this city which have lived on bank
dividends for half a century, and the old
bank of New York can give some figures
of still greater antiquity.
On the other hand, A. T. Stewart, not
w~ithstanding his millions, held but little
bank stock, his preference being real es-
tate. One can very easily see the reason
of this. Stewart was always watching
his clerks to keep them from stealing, and
he knew that bank clerks have an equal
opportunity. His caution, therefore, led
him to invest in real estate. Morgan, on
the other hand, carried on a business in
which thieving is impossible. and he got
so used to trusting clerks that he had no
suspicion of bank troubles. Percy r.
Pyne, president of the City bank, is a very
extensive owner of bank property. He
inherited his present office from his father
in-law, the late Moses Taylor, who left
twenty millions. Taylor, like Morgan, in

real estate.-New York Mail and Express.
