THE UNSANITARY DOLLAR.

The selfishness of mankind, as
well as covetousness and cupidity
blinds the average pursuer of the
almighty dollar to its unsanitary
condition. He is Needless of the
death dealing microbes which
swarm and gambol over the en-
CRAVING, and is interested only in
its face value and purchasing
power.
Not one man in q thousand can
say, without reference or hesita-
ton, whether the dollar bill bears
the likeness of Abraham Lincoln,
Benjamin Franklin or Thomas
Jefferson. Fewer can recall the
portraits and historic scenes en-
graved upon bills of a higher de-
nomination. Nobody ever thinks
of refusing currency because its
artistic features have been blur
red or blotted by hard usage.
And nobody was ever known to
refuse a bill because it had not
been recently fumigated, washed,
starched and ironed. Neither
the banks, their patrons nor the
masses of the people are able, in
these busy times, to hold paper
currency long enough to subject
it to microscopic examination, or
to chase the bacteria off its face
or back. The man who cannot
be induced to touch soiled or in
fectious article of any other kind
will jam roll of disease breeding
bills into his pocket and look
pleasant, contented and confident.
Dirty dollars are legal tender,
and the person who refuses to ac-
cept them in payments of debts,
public or private, subjects him
self to considerable legal annoy
anceand monetary Inconvenience.
The man who is seeking u loan at
the bank is troubled more about
his chances of getting it than u
bout the bacteria he may receive
with it. And, per contra, the
bank is more particular about the
repayment Of the loan when due
than it is regarding the microbes
which may accompany it. Such
is the degenerating and demoral-
izing influence of the money pow
er that even the most fanatical of
psychologists will run the risk
of contracting disease of the most
aggravating form rather than re-
fuse the currency which is offer
ed him, even if he is certain in his
own mind that it is infected.

THE MAKING OF SLATE PEN
CILS.

A slate pencil is a very simple
affair, and one would scarcely
imagine the process of its manu-
facture complicated. Yes, like
many other simple devices in con-
slant use, it is the result of much
thought and care, and product
of complicated machinery.
First, broken pieces of slate are
put into a mortar run by steam.
and crushed into a powder, which
is then bolted in machine such
as is used in flour mills. A fine
slate flour results, which is thor
oughly mixed in a large tub with
stcatic flour and other materials,
the whole making Il stiff dough.
The dough is kneaded by being
passed between iron rollers a
couple of times, and is then taken
to table, where it is made into
short cylinder four or five inches
thick, each containing from eight
to ten pounds of material. -Four
of these cylinders are placed in a
strong iron retort which has a
changeable nozzle, regulating the
size Of the pencils.
In the retort the material is
subjected to great hydraulic pres
sure, and is thus pushed through
the nozzle in the shape of a long
cord. AS this cord comes through
it passes over knife which cuts
it into the desired lengths. These
are laid on boards to dry, and are
then placed on sheets of corrug-
ated zinc. The corrugation pre-
vents the pencils from warping
during the baking process. The
baking is done in u kiln, which is
furnished with pipes filed with
superheated steam. The pencils
go from the kiln to the finishing
room, where the ends are neatly
pointed by being held for an in
stant under II rapidly revolving
emery wheel, and then to the
packing room.
