three of the officials, and the recepta-

are open The machine then grinds
and macera,es until the money is
made into paper pulp and sold to
the paper manufactures 1t is said
that from SS5o,ooo to 100000 is
thus destroyed every day. When we
consider how much mutilated money
is destroyed every day we do not won
der that it requires over five hundred
skilled labo-ers in the manufacture Of
our paper money.
In the Treasury building is found
the largest vault in the world being 81
feet wide, 50 feet long, and IL feet
high and contains at this time over
$o4, 700, 900 Of silver. A similar vault
for the gold contains over sS3, 700,

Applicants for positions under the
mail routes, who held similar positions
under President Cleveland must
submit to re-examinaton under
the Civil Service rules before they
are eligible to the place, and most
of them wait their turn until vacancy
exists. There are many VINO supposed
their former examinations would suf-
flee, but the Civil Service rules are
rigid IN this particular and the admin
istration seems to have decided that
the rules must be observed.

Our Paper Money.

1t is wonderful what precaution is
taken by the United States Govern.
ment to prevent counterfeiting of our
paper money. The building in which
the first processes are taken in its
manufacture is situated apart from
any other building in the south western
part of Washington City. No one of
the engravers are permitted to make a
plate for an entire bill but each one
has particular part to perform SO
that they may become experts the
parts are then placed together forming
the entire bill and a duplicate made
from il. With this duplicate the money
is printed and the original retained.
The printing requires three operations
before the number and seal are placed
upon them. The paper is counted be-
fore any printing is done and recount
ed with every impression, afterwards
several experts count it again, and
throw out any defective sheets. At
the close Of each day all the money
that has been made and once counted
is enclosed in large fire.proof vault,
with time lock. Immense chests made
of cold steel are used in transporting
the money from the building of en-
craving and printing to the Treasury
Department and in return more paper
is sent back to be printed. Guards
always accompany the transportation.
At the treasury department the mum.
bers and seal are p aced upon the bills
and after counting an, re-counting un-
til they pass through hfty-two hands,
the money is put into packets, secure
ly bound and ready for use
The most interesting and astonish-
ing department in the Treasury build.
ing is that of the redemption Office
where old or torn money is received
and new exchanged for it, When
the old is received four holes are
punched through as cancelling marks
the money is then taken to the mace
rating room where it is placed in a
large circular machine, uoder time

MEN AND WOMEN INTERESTED.

ut is astonishing" said one of our
physicians the other evening, show
many Of the ordinary diseases people
suffer from come from the one cause
excess of uric acid in the blood.
TO discover a medicine that would
| dissolve this acid has puzzled thous-
ands of the best men OF the medical
profession, until DR.. David Kennedy,
| of Rondou,, N. Y, produced what is
known the world over as DR.. Xennedy's
Favorite Remedy. The great value
We place in Favorite Remedy comes
from the fact that it is the only medi-
cine that will effectually dissolve this
acid thus curing rheumatism, dyspep
sia, kidney, liver and urinary troubles
and the slcknesses women suffer from.
; These and many more troubles all
come from the one cause, as | said
before, this dea,h dealing uric acid"
Perhaps there has been no one per-
son in Wyoming Co, Pa, that has
suffered more than Mrs. Carrie Bou-
ton, formerly Of Schottville, but now
of Harveys Lake, Luzerne Co. Mrs.
Bouton, in relating her restoration to
health, said: ''From a growing girl
suffered from female trouble or weak
ness peculiar to my sex. Several ply
sicians prescribed for me but | found
no relief. was reduced in flesh down
to 6S pounds. By accident | heard
of DIR. Kennedy's Favorite Remedy
and determined 10 try it, and to my
great JOY began to realize that l had
found medicine that was doing me
good. think l had used five bottles
when found that l weighed I2I5
pounds and was better in health than
| ever was before.
Inquiry among Mrs. Bouton's neigh
bors shows that she states nothing but
the facts in regard to her case. Many
other instances OF the kind are widely
talked of in Scottsville, Tunkhannock,
Wilkesbarre and other places where
DIR. Kennedy's Favonte Remedy has
effected many cures after physicians
had given up hope.
"But," says one of our prominent
druggists, ''Favorite Remedy is equally
efficacious in other diseases, as talks
with people have sold Favorite Re-
medy to affirm. To my knowledge
right in our town Favorite Remedy
has cured people suffering from rheu-
matism, dyspepsia, kidney, liver and
urinary troubles"
Since the publication in one OF the
New York medical journals Of the
case of Mr.. E. P. layer, Of East Mas.
sau, N. Y, DIR. Kennedy's Favorite
Remedy has been increasing in sale.
Mr.. layer had suffered for fifteen
years with infiammatory rheumatism.
His case was practically abandoned
by his physicians. Favorite Remedy
was brought to his notice and in less
than three months after its use he was
a well man.
In commenting on this case DR.. w.
II. Morse, of New York City, says
The great good in Favorite Remedy
lies in its power to dissolve this dead
ly uric acid. In cases of dyspepsia,
eczema, scroiula or any urinary di-
seases l have never known it to fail,
when taken according to directions.
DIR. Kennedy's Favorte Remedy is
not only used by physicians now but
can be found on sale by every medi-
cine dealer. = JVilkesbarre (Pa)
