Counting Treasury Notes.

One of the most singular and interest
ing manufactures in this country is
that where the United States treasury
notes are made. The paper differs from
any other, and it is kept under guard
from the moment of its manufacture
until the printed notes are issued from
the treasury. These sheets of thin paper,
both before and after printing, are
counted and recounted by officials
whose fingers, from years of practice,
have become SO deft that they fly over
their work with the rapidity Of light
ming.
A visitor, watching woman count
ing apparently endless heaps of notes,
said, when the worker stopped to
breathe:
II should think that this monotonous
work of counting, continued for years,
would bring on a disease of the brain. !"
"It would" promptly replied the
official, ''if we thought of it. But while
1 counted those notes l was planning a
holiday for my little boy. repeat the
numbers unconsciously, as musician
touches the keys of the piano. IL Is a
habit. 1t was not always so," she said,
laughing when began the work,
was terrified by its Importance. The
officers, pacing up and down, robbed
me of self control / touched the sheets
with shaking fingers L was working
for the government. 1 went over the
pile again and again, and even then
made mistakes. / never make a mistake
now. l have the habit of counting. -

Hardships For an African Explorer.

have always something the matter
with me which interferes with my eff
cheney. Now it will be a wretched ulcer
near my knee joint to hinder my walk
ing; at another time one near my right
elbow to weaken my arm and give me
unsteady aim i'll shooting Then l am
cured of these, and feel miserable and
feverish but snap shots of deafening
quinine make me strong and cheerful
and fit TO bear the strain of few days
visit from malarial neuralgia, which
seizes my head, makes tender every
tooth, and stabs me numerically with
acutest pain, till the head is aching with
hammering throbs, and the eyes, through
pain, are curtained by mist. In due
time L recover from this, and become
dyspeptic, or cannot wear my largest
shirt because of swollen spleen. L
gradually reduce this, and then blisters
on the feet and erysipelas in the ankles
make walking the worst kind Of agony.
Illness TO me in Africa is as the bubble
in spirit level-it moves and changes
its position, but never ceases.

Utilizing Old Shoes.

Old shoes are not waste from the
standpoint of modern industry. After
they have done their service and are dis
carded by the first wearers second
hand dealer restores the worn shoes TO
something like their former appearance,
and they are sold again, TO be worn a
little longer by the poorer classes. When
the shoes are finally discarded by them,
they are still good for various purposes.
In France such shoes are bought up in
quantities by rag dealers and sold to
factories, where the shoes are taken
apart and submitted to long manipula-
tions, which turn them into a paste,
from which the material is transformed
into an imitation leather. appearing
very much like the finest morocco. Up
on this material stylish designs are
stamped, and wall papers, trunk cover
ings and similar articles are manufac-
tured from it. Another French industry
using old dilapidated shoes is the trans
forming Of old into new footwear.
This is the principal occupation OF the
military convicts imprisoned IN the for
tress of Montpelier. There the shoes are
taken apart, all the nails are taken out
and then the leather is soaked in water
some time to soften it. From those
pieces that can be used are cut the up
pers for chiIdren's shoes, and parts of
the soles are similarly used The small
est pieces of leather are applied to be
used in high Louis XIV heels, which
were so much in style few years ago.
Even the nails Of the old shoes are used
again. They are separated by magnet,
which attracts the steel nails, while the
copper and brass nails are carried on
farther. The price received for the old
copper nails alone almost pays for the
first cost of the old shoes. Clippings and
cuttings of the leather are also used, be-
ing turned into paste from which arti-
fetal leather is made, and what is not
good enough TO serve for this purpose is
sold with the sweepinss to agricultur-
lists in the neighborhood, who use this
paste with great success as q fertilizer

Cemetery farm, and is preparing to
move.
Monday he was engaged in loading
hay from the barn and had the wagon
nicely topped up and was tying it on
with hay ropes. He was on top of the
load and pulling hard upon the line
when the rope gave way and he fell back
ward.
The fall was terrible one. He was
swiftly descending, head first, when his
neck struck a cross bar at the big doors.
This caused his body to be turned and he
fell upon his back to the floor. He sus-
tanned serious injuries and bruises, one
Of the worst being broken bone at the

porium to Spring palace, is an
effort that only can be made here
in wee bit of time, and to the
entire satisfaction Of a great many
people.
There is unusual Spring activity
here. The goods from all parts of
the world, that our buyers thought
would suit the fastidious tastes Of
our shoppers are arriving. They
are here in quantities, but the car
loads are still moving this way.
The preparation for this glad,
bright, happy season has taken
much careful speculation, much
time, effort and the expenditure Of
money that means thousands. But
the Corner has made big efforts
from the time the Corner sprang
into being, and nowadays our
friends look for much more than
can be expected from other stores.

here by over 1000 regular members of six
Methodist Churches, all prospering nice
ly and doing grand work.
The Conference will find here 1900 Meth
odist Sunday School scholars, Metho-
dist parsonages and property valued at

own church they will be welcomed by
hundreds of members of other churches,
and people, who perhaps are not closely
allied with any denomination.
In Central M. E. Church, the Confer
ence will find one of the handsomest edi-

will be peculiarly gratifying to the MEM

being made for the comfort of the visit

There will be vast amount of business
to transact during the Conference, and
some important legislation is likely to be
enacted. Bridgeton especially will be
particularly curious as to the action OF
the Bishop in making his appointments,
for it is not beyond the range ofpossibili-
ties that there may be three and possibly
four new appointments for this city.
