Feed the Fatherless.

Thanksgiving day if coming. SO is
Christmas!
Good times are these to remember
the needy and deserving poor.
Who more needy or deserving than
the orphans.
There are more than a hundred of
them in the ho"es of the Thornwell
Orphanage, Clinton.
They come firm almost every South
ern and several Northern and western
states of the Union: their parents were
of at least ten different denominations
of Christians. But here, they are all
of n family, trained in ways of use
fulness and piety, fitted to do good
work for the world by the lessons they
receive.
This Home is under the care Of
Presbyterians. But it is in no sense
local, neither does it confine its benefits
to children of their faith.
1t is provided for by voluntary gifts.
There is no appropriation to its support
by any ecclesiastical or charitable
body. Individual gifts alone arc its
dependence. For eighteen years. it
has been in existence, growing on
tinually in numbers; in hat time it
has trained many orphans for useful
ness. In all that time, Gods people
have not allowed the fartherless ones to
suffer.
Gifts of money or provisions may be
sent directed simply to "Thornwell
~Orphanage," Clinton, S. c., or to DR.,
Jacobs, its presiding officer.
Don't forget the orphans on thanks
giving day and Christmas. They need
your help, reader.

to this special matter there are articles
on many popular subjects. Dancing and
Lawn Tennis, the two papers in the
Sports and Pastimes series, arc brought
to a close this month {: Household Re-
Furniture and Moths. Child-Life deals

.womenIn United States Treasury.

A great deal OF mutilated money is
ent to the Treasury to be examined,
and some interesting particulars of
this work are given below. BY means
of q piece OF glass the size of a bank
note. marked into tw~enty-four squares.
the face of the bill is determined. II
sixteen of the squares can be covered
by n mutilated bill, the whole value
Is paid =: if less than sixteen, and more
than twelve, half the value if less
than twelve, it is rejected entirely.
Twenty-Five dollars found in the nest
OF a mouse. were recently sent to the
Treasury in n condition that defied re-
cognition by the naked eye. Mrs.
Brown went to work with u micros-
cope, and patiently sorted out the
whole amount. One hundred and
eighty dollars, which went through
the Vanderbilt fire at Newport, came
to Mrs. Brown as q charred mass OF
paper, which she identified. When an
express car is burned. the safe is sent,
unopened, to the Treasury Depart
ment. There it is opened by womcncX-
ports, who empty the contents, oftcnon-
~ a mass of ashes and sift them through
n sieve. The charred bits of money are
then picked out and submitted to a
microscopic examination. Not long
oSof "ShpypNo ViHS uluIlOiluS were
recovered by sitting the a,hcs a third
time before burning them. The vaults
are often filed with the stencil of
money recovered from dead bodies in
pestllcnt. districts, as during the pre-
valence of yellow fever in the South.
Such money is fumigatcd. and no dis
eases have ever been communicated to
employees. Gold and silver are also
counted by women, and mani
pulate the machine which has taken the
place of shears for trimming notes, and
the machine which stamps the bank
notes. In the T~reasurer's Office is the

ployes-Miss Elizabeth Stoncr. She

variety of foreign money toour values.
For thirty years Miss Stoner has occupi-
ed almost the same csli-room and many

to urge the T~reusurer to discharge he,
to make OOm for II voter.
