Mrs. Rosenburg came into the treasury de-
partment in 1868, soon after the division was
organized, and holds one of the best posi-
tons at the present time. She is an expert
at the work of putting into shape mutilated
money. Such money comes to the treasury
from all parts of the country by mail and ex-
press Any individual is at liberty to send it
for redemption Some of it is very bad,
Mrs Rosenburg tells of an instance where
she recovered some bills which had been in
pocketboolS and nearly destroyed by fire.
The money had shriveed into a small round
wad, and it seemed a hopeless task to bring
it into recognition again, but with much care
and a great deal of patience it was accom-
plished. The first business is to put the mu-
tilated particles into water, 50 that they may
unfold to their fullest extent, then they are
pasted on paper to form as perfectly as pos
sibe the original bill. 1t requires quick
eye and dexterous hand to make the most
of this money Washington Cor. New York

How Young Women Arc Examined for

How Young Women Arc Examined for
Places in Retail Music Stores.
An agreeable and much sought after occu-
patton for women is that of a clerk in a
music store. The hours are no longer than
in the majority of stores, the duties are less
exacting, there is a chance to sit down in idle
moments and the pay is from $40 to $12 a
week With all these advantages it is no
wonder that the owners of music stores are
overrun with applicants. Nevertheless it is
said to be no easy task to secure a competent
clerk, although the knowledge of music re-
Quired is not very extensive.
The clerk must not only be good sales
woman, but she is expected TO be able to play
off hand every piece of music kept on the
shelves. This is not so difficult as would APP
pear, for those who purchase classical music
are always good musicians, and know the
character of the piece they are ordering.
Only the dabblers in music insist on having
a piece tried for them before they purchase,
and these amateurs seldom affect anything
more pretentious than a popular song or
dance composition.
every music dealer has a plan Of his own
to test the ability of an applicant" said a
well known music man, ''but haven't yet
found one that is entirely trustworthy. Often
when think that have secured a treasure
in a clerk, find | have been mistaken, and
much of my time is taken up in trying APP
plicants. The plan generally adopted is to
make the test with catch piece of music.

ture, in the execution Of which it was neces-
sary to cross the hands. This was more
effective than you would imagine, for an APP
plicant, rendered nervous from the knowl-
edge that was watching her every move

reached the critical measure if she were not

for some time it became worn out in the SER

She got along all right until it was necessary
for her to cross her hands and then she made

She went out seemingly much panied at her

dashed the piece off like professional, and
hired her on the spot. Before the day was

tent. questioned her and learned that she
was the sister Of the other young woman.
1t was prearranged little scheme. The first
came to find out what piece was used for
testing purposes, while the other, after prac-
ticing it until she was project, was to secure

Tuckey climbed over the train after

wrenched from him, but as he did SO
two others caught him, one of them

Srctlt In Horses.

The finest and deepest emotions at dog
seem to be dependent on his sense Of smell.
Not only does he carry on his business OF
hunting or guarding through its aid, but his
devotion TO his master and his recognition of
lesser friends depend largely upon his nose.
According to Horse and Stable, another
among the humber friends of man is keen

The horse will leave musty hay untouched
in his bin, no matter now hungry he may be.
However great his thirst, he will not drink OF
water Objectionable to his questioning shifts,
nor from a bucket made in the least degree
offensive.

Blind horses will, as "A rule, gallop wildly
about pasture without striking the sur
rounding fence. The sense Of smell informs
them of its proximity. Others, when let out
from their stables, VIII go droctly to the gate
leading to their accustomed feeding ground,
and when DESTROYS of returning after hours
of careless wandering viii distinguish that

The odor of that particular part of the fence
serves as their guide.
The horse, when browsing, is guided en-
tirelv by the nostrils in its choice of proper
food. and blind horses never are known TO
make mistakes in their diet.
Nervous and timorous as this noble ami
nal is known TO be- his fears are, of course,
doubled by his kcenneSs of scent, for not only
does the eye inform him of danger, but the
nostuls also herald its presence. The mere
scent of a buffalo robe is sufficient to cause
extreme terror in many horses and some
