Empleados que en- Washington

81 a las cifras anteriores agregamos

When has the lrishman ever lacked
for retort courteous or discourteous?
One was sitting in the middle Of the
seat on street car when two women
got on. They looked at him as II de-.
handing that he give them the seat,
so they might sit together, but he
didn't see the hint, and while one had
to founce herself down by him the
other took a seat just opposite. Then
the roast began
"Did you go away this summer,
Mrs. Jones?' asked No. /.

Sometimes while the conductor is

inside and the gentleman who may
offer her a seat comes out and takes
his stand on the platform. When thu

Was There q YearO!

As is perhaps natural in the last
month of the year 1899 the debate
whether the century ends on the last
Cay of this month or the last day OF
the year 100 has broken out again
Most Of it is merely threshing over old
straw; but one advocate of the view
that the Twentieth century will be.
gin with January i, 1900, presents in
q New York paper an argument which
is good, provided his major premise ia
established, and, whether correct or
not, presents the whole issue with
more than usual clearness.
This disputant replies to the hereto
fore unanswered argumentihat as~thc

form the issue. If the first year Of

INTER EsTiNG RUINS.


In the last month the excavations
being carried on in the Forum under
the directions of Signor Giacomo Boni
have continued to give splendid re-
suits.
Hundreds of tons Of earth have been
removed from the side of the Basilica
Emilia, which is now almost entirely
uncovered. In addition to the huge
fragments of the inscription discov-
cred last June, the bases of nine col
umns supporting the portico Of the
facade have been brought to light,
and the mosaic pavement OF the in
terror has been cleared Of the stones
and rubbish with which 1t has been
covered for the last thousand years.
Part of TIE pavement has been de-
stroyed in making medieval sewer,
but part is in splendid preservation.
As far as yet can be seen the front
of the l,asilca must have extended
for at last one hundred and twenty
feet, while its depth as far as hitherto
cxcavated is about eighty feet, Prob
ably the original floor of the ediilce
ran back two or three times this dis
tonce but for the moment houses and
cmbankments bar the way to further
excavations,
The excavations along the Sacra Via
are still giving good results, though
2 they will have to be suspended for
while in order not to destroy the cart
t, road needed for carrying away the
earth and rough stones removed from
. the other sites.
t Perhaps the most interesting dis
I covery Of all recently made by Signor
Boni is that OF thu original mosaic
T. pavement in lne house of the Vestals.
= The ruins of this ediiice were sup
h. posed to have been fully excavated
10 some years ago by Professor Lanciani'
( but the discovery just made proves
d, that the work was then done in an
ot unscientiRc fashion, which left the
N most interesting part of the building
still buried. The pavement lies some
u three feet below the level OF what
N Professor Ianciani supposed to be TIM
er floor of the house. A staircase bull'
against one of the walls runs down u
en- It. Part Of the staircase was discov
ey cred by the former excavators, VINO
ct by simply following the steps down
go ward might easily have come on TN
mosaic pavement.
A similar pavement has also beer
discovered in chamber OF the hous'
OF the vestals and another in the cor
ner Of the Domus Publica. Signol
ed Boni has also discovered a portion o
81 the massive and splendidly built wal
he of the Domus Publica. In the hegl'

n Old.Time Burial Practice Now
Fallen Largely Into Use.

raIcu AuEkey INV s"o'
There was recently reprinted in The

paragraph about the disinterment and

.ause it had been buried in the wrong
way. 1.-THE undertaken" SO the para
yraph said, was new man at the
business, and the body was placed
with its feet to the west, The rela-

BASS. 1t was common custom in old
Zines to bury the dead with the feet
% the east. so that when they should
rise, on the day of resurrection, they
would rise facing whence the sum
mons was expected. There are, it is
said, whole churchyards filled with
lead, all facing east, but with the
growth of cities. and of cemeteries
outside of churchyard burying
grounds, this practice fell into disuse.
Cemeteries were yariously situated, to
start with; and then they were laid
,ut in such manner as to bring the
and within them most advantageous
ly into use. Obviously, for illustra'
ton, of a double tier of lots joining

FASTEST MONtX COUNTERS.
Said 10 be Four Women in the Treasure
Department In Washington.

Department IN Nash1n.tOns
Hundreds of persons visit the treas
ury department every day, but scarce
iy one out of five hundred carries away
any adequate idea of the process BY
! which the thousands of dollars in sill
Nver, nickel and copper that daily flow
in from the custom houses, banks and
financial institutions throughout thu
country are redeemed.
This money comes in packages rang'l
ing in vaule from twenty to one thou
sand dollars each, Receipts are .giver
for each package, which reads said ia
contain" SO many dollars. These
packages are delivered to the counters
whose business it is to ascertain thu
exact amount in the separate pack
ages and to throw out all the worn
mutilated and counterfeit pieces. Th'
worn and mutlated coins are at onc'
exchanged for perfect pieces to com
plete the count and the counterfeit
pieces, which are rarely sent in, are
stamped as such and returned with
the remainder of the redemption
money to the owner.
The daily receipt of coin fon re
demption is steadily increasing in vol
ume, yet the clerical force engaged in
this branch of the government service
has not been augmented in some
wears. The enormous sums OF money
daily received must be finally disposed
of within the office working hours OF
the day upon which it is placed on tht
tables of the counters in the specla

and experiences in separating the de

Of touch de,eloped by the counter
can be somewhat appreciated from tn
fact that they instantly detect a ila'

man that they were counterfeit, bl
these expert women never make a
error either in sense OF touch

As a further and double precantit
against error, each package is weieh'
after being counted. All the wo'
and defective pieces that have bet
