ABOUT PAPER MONEY.
How Old Notes Are Destroyed and New
Notes Are Made.

In the treasury department at Wash
WORKOUT paper money is destroyed
daily. Before it ia destroyed, however,
it is counted by several persons SO as
to guard against error n the amount
is carefully noted. The money Is dis
POSED of in a large iron receiver that
looks like two great pans with their
edges shut together. There is a door
to the receiver that is locked with
three locks, and each lock requires q
different kind of key. In accordance
with the law, three men are appointed
to witness the destruction of the
money, and to each one of them is
given a key to the receiver; no m OF
them is allowed to lend his key 10
either of the others or to anyone else.
upon, the three men meet, and with
their several keys unlock the receiver
and open it. Then they put the money
into it, close the door, and again Sc
curely lock the three different locks
This done, water is let into the re
ceiver through a pipe, and a machlne
inside beats and grinds the thousands
Of dollars of old money into a very
fine pulp, which is afterwards used for
making new paper. New paper biils
are printed to take the place of the
ones destroyed. The paper used for
making paper money is made in large
sheets and every sheet is carefully
counted. One by one the sheets are
moistened and put under a press,
where a stamp makes an imprint OF
one color only, on one side; they are
then put aside until dry; when dry
they are again moistened and again
put under a press, and another imprint
Of a different color is made The
printing process is repeated until all OF
the colors of both sides have been i'm
printed; then the sheets are dried ano
subjected to great pressure to MAKE
them perfectly smooth. Several bllls
are printed at one time on each sheet
and when the sheets are finished the
bills are separated and trimmed by
machinery. The separate bills are
then given to a queer little machln'
to be numbered; the machine change
its number every time it makes an I'm
print, and thus no two bills OF tn
same kind have the same INT OF
them.-D. V. f.

VULCAN'S UTILITY.

a Success.
The steamer Vulcan of the navy, ut
ted out as a repair-shop ship by En-
gineer-in-Chief Melville, proved
liable to the large squadron in CuDal
waters, operating far from a naVa
base, where repairs were impossible ex
cept in the case of exceedingly Sigh
injuries, and it is now clearly shoWi
that had not his vessel been prompt,
sent to Santiago, a number of the war
ships would have had to continue in
crippled condition or been returned tt
the United States to be put in good or
der. A letter received from Chic
Engineer Chasmar of the Vulcan de
clared that the Vulcan is thoroughly
appreciated in the squadron, and Is do
ing great work. Twelve ships have al
ready made use of her facilities for re
pair to their machinery, and several o
them received new steam pipes in place

but has been used for ordnance anC

In the good old times our ancestors
were accustomed to dine at II, to sup
between 5 and 6, and to go to bed at 10.
1t is evident, therefore, that any argu-
ment in favor of supper founded upon
the healthy condition of our ancestors
is fallacious. By supper in modern
times we understand a late meal Just
before bedtime. but as sleep is not ia
vorable to every stage of digestion, it
is very questionable whether retiring
to rest with a full stomach can under
any circumstances be salutary. Dur
ing the first part of the process of di-
gestion a person so situated may per-
haps sleep quietly, unless, indeed, the
morbid distention of the stomach
should impede respiration and occasion
distress; but when the food has passed
out of the stomach, the natural pro-
pensity of the body is for activity, and
the invalid awakes at this period and
remains in a feverish state for some
time.

as tutor in a family living near Fe-

the bank. One day he found a strand
ed cutie fish. He took 1t home. dis

molluscae, in which he won such a rep

This was his opportunity to learn from
the book. By embracing the oppor-

After all, the best school Tor the
SOLDIER is in the field when strenuous
fighting is on. Gen. Miles, the mead
of the army, was a clerk in Boston
when he began his military career.
Gen. Shafter was a farmer when he
went into the army during the civil
war. The best place to learn how to
fight appears to be not in a military
school, though that has Its advantages,
but on the lines where real fighting is
in progress.
