first to last the paper, as blank sheets and
after the printing has begun, is counted as
it passes from hand 20 hand. Beginning at
the mandatory, it is counted seven times
before delivery to the Superintendent; after
it reaches the department il is never passed
from one branch to another without being
thus accurately accounted for, and after
its reception at the bureau it is counted
in and out of wetting room, wetting tanks,
and from division to division; when exam

When a remittance of such currency is

examination, and 1t is again counted sew

RED SEAL IS ADDED.
In n baSement-Toom at the Treasury De-

vaults there is a division where the sheets
are cut up into separate notes, and where

labor would be fruitlessly expended.
This is the finale, and the promises 10

Career Of a Dollar Bill
from Cradle TO Crave
Interesting Processes Through Which the Greenback
Passes from Uncle Sans Hands Into the
World of Commerce.

That crisp one-dollar note just paid out
over the cashiers counter at the Treasury
Department has passed through a greater
variety OF processes, has been subject to
more landings and checks, and has been
counted oftener than many who use il
as a medium of commercial exchange
ever pause 10 consider.
IL is q beautifully wrought piece Of
work, pretty as q picture" some are
wont TO eXclaim, and fashioned with q
view 10 desirability and usefulness. Its
intrinsic value is but little above that of

but IL has Uncle Sans guarantee that

COULD BE COUNTERFEITED.
One Of the sources OF weakness of the
early output Of paper money was the IA
cility with which it could be countoTfeited
and experience has taught the custodians
of that kind OF circulating medium the ne
cessity Of observing the greatest precau-
ton. Hence the distinctive paper.
The material that enters into it's COM
position must be and is of pure linen. 1t
is composed OF scraps and cuttings pur-
chased from ne great linen mills at Belfast,
Ireland, and no foreign substance is ad
mitted.
The firm OF Crane & Co, OF Dalton,
Mass, has the contract for its manufacture,
and enters iEtO a new contract. under heavy
bond each year, for the faithful obser-
vance OF ali specifications and require
ments. and for prompt delivery at the
Treasury Department The contract supu-
lates that the paper shall be manufactured
under the supervision Of an agent OF the
government, known upon the records as u.
8 Superintendent; that il shall be under the
care of guards appointed by the Treasury
DepartmenU; that it shall be delivered in
iron-bound boxes OF a certain descrip-
tion and size, and under seal, each box TO
contain a given number of sheets of stlpu-
lated size.
Each shipment OF paper is accompanied
by two reports, one made by the manUfac-
turer and the other by the superintendent.

counter sustains a loss by so much as the
bill represents
In the very nature of things there can
be no going back over the records to
correct mistakes, and the luckless counter
foots the bill.
Packages are cut in halves, the dupli-
Gates each representing, say, 1000. One
part-the upper or left half-is sent TO the
Register OF Tie Treasury the other, orright,
fraction, to the division of loans and cur
rency. Each note is examined and counted,
and if errors are found the Treasurer s
office reCtifies them.
Afterward a committee OF destruction,
representing, respectively, he sever al
divisions that had t!se previous work to do,
takes the fractions, and they soon find
their way TO the big macerator, whence they
emerge as pulp, and much oe the pulp de-
velops into the various forms, ornamental
and otherw ise, that one finds on the
shelves of the dealers in souvenirs.
SOME OF THE NEW DESIGNS
This story would be scarcely complete
without mention OF the designs. The pre-
yailing present custom in the preparation
of many plates is to include u vignette,
selecting the portrait of some one deceased,
who in life was distinguished either as a
military or civilian leader.
The new series now being perfected at
the Bureau of Engraving and Printing
viii be designed upon different plan,
portraits upon the face of notes being
abandoned.
The future silver certificate of n GER
tain denomination will bear upon its face
as n ccnterpiece Il birds eye view OF the
city of Washington, with the Capitol anC
Monument prominent; on the border the
figures of a woman reclining and a small
boy standing at ber side, representing the
instruction of youth in history. An open
volume containing in very small type a
portion of the National Constitution, also
appears The words can be distinguished
by the aid a strong magnifying glass.
The So silver certificate will bear an
emblem representing America; on the back
a portrait of Grant and Sheridan, re-
spectiyely. The SO denomination will
represent Agriculture, by means of two
rustics returning from the harvest. The
So bill will eXemplify Science presenting
steam aud electricity to commerce and
manufacture. The series is one OF great
| beauty and will be popular.
There are four designs for the certiff-
Gates contemplatcd-the Is, IS 5S and los.
The 81 note was designed by Win III. Low,
| of New York; the 50 denomination by
| Edwin II. Beashfield, of New York; and
the So and SO bills by Walter Shirland,
| of New York. The designs for the backs
| of all these were evolved from the brain
of Thomas F. Morris, of the Bureau.

for the purpose, and the finished material
is conducted to a wire without passing
through any screens which might retain
the threads.
SHOWER OF SILK.
By a device placed above the wire cloth
a shower OF short pieces of fine blue
silk thread is dropped carefully upon TIE
paper while il is being formed. and thu
the pretty delicate lines, so much admired
and the subject of SO much wonder, are
formed.
The lower side, on which the blue silk
is deposited. is used for the back of the
note, and from the manner in which the
threads are applied must show them
more distinctly than the reverse side. al
though they are imbeddcd deep enough TO
remain fixed.
Each sheet is registered as soon as man
ufactured. and immediately passes into
the hands OF the superintendent. When
shipment arrives at the Treasury De-
partment it is taken in charge by the
division OF loans and currency, where it
is counted and examined, the imperfect
sheets being rejected and returned TO the
manufacturer, TO be replaced al his eX-
pense. Up 10 this stage there has been
observed a complete system of checks 10
avoid loss and prevent fraud and dupli-
cation.
This prevail through the various offices
and processes of printing 10 the issue Of
the note, and also in the redemption from
circulation and TO final disposition.
But the dollar is not yet in circulation.
1t has yet to be printed and to receive
the red seal and official signatures,
which give it the power OF purchase.

tails of the journey OF that small piece of
paper through that wonderful house OF
industry, you would probably receive
sigh for an answer, SO elaborate would
! have TO be the explanation.
WHAT WOULD BE SAID.
| But he would courteously conduct you
through the fntricacies of the various pro-
! ceSses and talk to you in this wise:
We first want a design. That is pre-
! pared by an artist of skill, who submits
! ii for approval of the Secretary of the
/ Treasury. This design, when approved,
/ is engraved on steel, the original die
/ being placed in the keeping of the custo-
dian of dies, rolls and plates. We are
! then ready to make plates for actual print
ing. The steel is hardened, then given
to the transferrer who, by pressure on
/ a cylinder of soft steel, takes up the
entire design OF the note.
This cylinder, which is called roll, is
! then hardened in turn, and from this roll
the transferrer reproduces four times on
! sheet of soft Steel called a blank plate,
9X14 inches in dimension. The design OF
the note and the fournotes are respectively
designated by the letters A, b. c and ID.
/ The plate is then hardened, as were the
/ Others. and is ready for the printer.
That is the face plate only, and plate
! for the back OF the note is required.

| and by the same process that the face
! plate was supplied, and is also given
