DESTROYING MONEY.
Women Experts Who Can Detect the Best

Made Coupterfeits by Their Feel.
Every working day in the year Uncle
Sam destroys Sl,000,000, deliberately
tears up and grinds to pulp $1,0O0,OOO
worth of paper money, genuine bank potes
and greenbacks," writes Clifford Howard
In the September Ladies' Home Journal.
"A million dollars in 81, 81, So, $40, $50,
$50, 500 and $1,000 notes are daily
punched full of holes, cut into halves ana
thrown into machine that rapidly re-
duoes them to mass of mushy substance
whenever piece of paper money be-
comes soiled or torn, 1t may be presented
to the United States treasury and redeemed.
Sooner or later every note that circulates
among the people becomes unfit for further
service, for 1t is bound to become dirty or
mutilated by constant handling, and the
United States government stands ready TO
give the holder of such note a new note
in exchange for it, or, in other words, the
government will redeem 1t.
"The majority of the clerks employed
In this important department. OF the gov
eminent are women, many OF whom are
the most expert money counters and coun-
terfeit detectors in the world. In fact,
only experts can properly perform the
work that is required, for not only must
the soiled and mutilated money be acou-
rately and rapidly counted, but all counter
felt notes must be detected and thrown
out. When we consider that some coun-
terfeiters can so cleverly initiate genuine
money that their spurious notes will cir
culate through the country without detec-
ton, and are not discovered until they are
finally turned into the treasury, some idea
of the proficiency Of these experts can be
gained, especially when we bear In nina
that these notes are often so worn that ne
imprint on them can scarcely be deci-

THE APACHES' HAIR.
They Wore IL Long Because cit Made
Them Wild"


Them Wild"
AS with Samson of old, the Indians
wildness lay in their long hair, which the
returned educated Indians wore because,
as they boosted, sit made them wild"
All energies were bent to compel the adult
males to cut their hair and adopt civilized
attire In vain. Even the police would not
wear their uniforms. A proposition to
cut their hair from former agent result
ed in mutiny. The duties of the police
are to arrest offenders and TO herd the beef
cattle purchased for their own consump-
ton. Rations were considerably increased
to the police to make il worth their while
to think twice before leaving the force,
and they were informed that when there
were no police to herd the beeves the tribe
would go without. That was "A different
proposition. Two members who had been
to school were discharged for wearing
long hair. One old fellow, as a special ia
vor, cut his hair, but it cost me s.. His
wife made his life burden, and he in
turn appealed to me to hasten with the
rest
by using rations and other supplies as a
lever, / induced few more to cut, and
then l directed the police to cut theirs or
leave the force. They reluctantly COM
piled, but once accomplished they were
only too eager to compel the rest, and they
cheerfully under orders arrested and
brought to me every educated Indian on
the reservation. There were go of these,
gorgeous in paint, feathers long hair,
brcochC louis and blankets, educated at an
expense of thousands of dollars, living in
their brush shelters wilder than any un-
educated Indian on the reservation and
fully as lazy and ambitionless. The ''leav
en- had failed to work. The mass abb
sorbed them and compelled them to back
slide. They soon had hair cut and suit
of clothes put on them. The Indian office
issued peremptory order for all to cut
their hair and adopt civilized attire, and
i'm six weeks from the start every male In
! dian had been changed into the semblance
of decent man, with the warning that
confinement at hard labor awaited any
blacksiders. There has been none, and
the task of moving them upward has been
| perceptibly easier from the time scissors
clipped off their wildness.

REGARDED As RETALIATION.
Increase of French Duties ON Hogs
Lard and Hog Products

The action Of the French chamber of
deputies Monday in passing a government
bill Increasing the duties on hogs hog
products, lard. etc, is regarded as retalia-
tory in effect against the United States
For some time negotiations have been pro-
oeeding between France and this country
toward making Il reciprocity arrangement
The figures of the foreign bureau of the
agricultural Department show that the
American shipments to France on The one
article of lard reached 311133I2 pounds
last year. According TO the bill passed yes
terCay The duty on lard is more than dou-
bled. the advance being from 1870 francs
TO 30 francs per loo Kilograms. This is
estimated to be an advance from LIZ
cents per pound to about cents per pound.
The aggregate advance Of duty on Amer
lean shipments like those OF last wear
lars. The advance of duty on hog products
such as bacon, hams, pork, etc. is from
- francs TIC ~ francs per loo Kilograms
This advance is estimated by the authori-
Ties here to be equivalent to a raise from
s.l9 cents per pound to As per pound
Last year the American shipments of salt
pork, bacon and hams to France was about
3,5D,ouD pounds.
Ii is not thought the bill was expressly
aimed against the United States

that this will operate particularly against

KILLED by JAPANESE.
Investigating the Death of Two
United States Sailors.

The Department of State is investigating
the killing by Japanese of two sailors at
tached 10 the United States fleet on the
ASiatic station. The exact conditions un-
uer which the killing occurred are not
known here yet. and the State Department
is trying to learn them through the United
States minister TO Toxic and the United
States consuls in Japan preliminary to de-
termining what steps shall be taken to
secure reparation, il it shall be found that
the killing was, as is alleged, unjus,ifiable
The first killing was of a sailor named
Montgomery, formerly attached to the
Yorktown while she was on the Asiatic
station, and the last was that of Frank
Epps. Il sailor, native of New York and
an apprentice on the flagship Olympia lie
was killed at NagasalS. The officials here
have been advised of the bare facts only
but following so closely on the terrible as
sault at Kobe last September of a Japanese
mob upon the sailors of the Yorktown
these Killings have aroused them to a de-
termination to secure protection for our
sailors in Japanese ports.
