When old and torn money has been
returned to the treasury at Washington
the United States government takes
very extraordinary precautions in tho
destruction of it.
The United States employs a very
large force of people who do nothing
else but destroy this old and mutilated
paper money that has been withdrawn
from circulation. Whenever a batch
of such bills as these are turned in to
any sub-treasury they are redeemed by
having new ones issued In their stead.
These old bills are then sent to the
treasurer at Washington, d. c., and are
there sorted and sent to what Is known
as the redemption DIVISION" Here
they are thoroughly examined by ex-
perts for the purpose Of detecting coun-
t~erfeits.
After this is done, which takes a very
long time. they are again counted and
sorted and then tied into bundles OF 100
bills each, and a record OF each bunSfn
il kept. Then these 80 TO the w
struction department" and here, after
they are again counted, and are put into
large piercing machines, and four large
holes are driven through each bundle.
They are mex passed to a machine for
cutting. and here each bundle Us cut
into two equal parts.
From nere each half bundle Ii sent
to a different place; n goes to the Of
flee OF the secretary, and the other goes
to the Office of the registrar. In each
of these places the half notes are again
counted and record thereof made.
After this has been completed they are
sent to the 'chopping department."
where they are put into machines which
cut them into very minut, fragments.
OF these fragments, the operators are
exceedingly careful not to lose one.
This mass of silk webbed paper. which
once represented thousands OF dollars
of money, is now ready for the boiling
department
In this place immense watts Of water
and alkali are kept constantly boiling.
and into these watts the mass OF frag-
ment sof paper is thrown and thorough
ly boiled until they become an unrecog-
nizable pulp.
They manufacture this pulp into
small models of the capitol. the white
House, busts OF Washington. Lincoln,
Grant, and into many other things.
and these are sold to the department
stores, which sell them as souvenirs
for a small sum.-New York Journal.

taking the money. At his humble
nome an old and anxious wife met
him and, wife-like. gave him sympathy
and encouragement first Of all
Never mind, John; " mind"
she kept saying. tWe have . few dol
lars ahead and you are only IS years
old. and something good is sure to
turn up. You have fought too long
to give up now"
But the weeks went by, and nothing
turned up. The business world has
very little use for an old man who has
no capital. John Fosdick's savings
we're gradually used up the generosity
Of his few friends exhausted, and there
came a day when the question of food
and fuel became a serious one. He
was not n to sponge or turn heggar.
If the world would not let him earn
his food, at least he would go out of it
and hope that his going would open
tuC liCdllS vi LlCu COWdIO Ills WiuOW.
After bordering for an hour he started
out with the firm intention of drown
ing himself in the river. 1t was a blus-
tering November day. And as he passed
the bank with bowed head, bent shoul-
der and well worn garments even those
who had deprived him of his place
felt a touch Of sympathy. He was
making for the suburbs and a highway
bridge and wondering how long it
would take to drown and what mon
would say of him when dead wnen ne
caught sight of men and horses skulk-
dng behind an abandoned factory. 1t
was singular, bound on such a mission
as he was, that he should have seen or
wondered and speculated on why those
men and horses were there, but he had
scarcely passed the old factory when

tried to make his age point against
him, and, not succeeding in that, it
was hoped that he might be caught up
ON a forged check or some other act of
carelessnesS. He went his way without
fighting back. If he lost his place, it
meant poverty to himself and wife in
their old age. He was prompt, careful
and systematic, and the plans of his
enemies were defeated.
The seventh year was drawing to a
close when old John was caught up. A
stranger presented a check which he
hesitated to pay and about which he
consulted the cashier. Later on the
cashier stated that he had ordered it to
be held pending examination. Old
John said that he had been ordered to
pay it at once. The check was paid
and, being spurious. the bank was $500
out OF pocket. 1t was a question of
veraoity between cashier and teller,
and it was decided within the bank
that the cashier had the better of it.
Just then, too, old tosdick slipped in a
wrong figure in making up his days
account, and, though it made only a
difference of eve cents in the total, it
seemed to prove that old g and care
lessness had untitled him for his posi-
ton. The president being in Europe,
the board took the case under advise
ment, and by order the old man was
fired out into the world to begin life
anew. There were resolutions, of
course and one of them was to the
effect that the bank presented him with
the sum of 500 for long and faithful
services. He put on his hat without
protest, and he left the bank without

THE ANCIENT HOME
OF CHINESE EMPERORS.

It is well known that the present
rulers of China are not Chinese, but
descendants of the Tartars who con-
Quered the country, The Mongols, who
had oppressed China for several CEN
turtles, were finally driven out in the
fourteenth century, and after wander
ing about In scattered bands the rem
nants of them made their way back to
the original haunts of their ancestry in
Manchuria, in the neighborhood of the
holy city of Mukden. There, accord
ing to the.native legend, a great chief
tan was. given them-a sort of dragon
phenix. born of a maiden. In 1891 he
led the Mantchoos to victory and an
nexed the Yalu region, about which
Japanese and Chinese fought 300 years
later. In 1913, after persistent and I'M
availing attempts to take Peking, he
succeeded-in capturing the more north
ern city Of Mukden, which became the
Mantchoo capital.
Some years later this dragon chief
tain died a great rebellion broke out
in China, headed by Generals Lii and
Chang, the former of whom alone sur
viving. an individual given to the
re~prehensible practice of punning has
suggested that the unavoidable infer
ence is that Lii Hung Chang. At all
events, Ii marched upon Picking, after
aestroying more than a million people
by letting loose the waters of the Great
Yellow river. He stormed the walls
and took the capital, driving the en-
peror TO suicide, and thus bringing to,
end the great Ming dynasty, which had

possession, became the power that en-
abled Shunchih, the grandson of Nur-
hachu, to become the emperor of China.
Manchuria contained a hundredth
part of the population ascribed to Chi
ma, and its soldiers were not particular
ly famous Tor bravery or its leaders for
greatness, yet through a combination of
fortuitous circumstances it's rulers i'm
posed themselves upon a country beside
which their wv is as a mole hill to a
mountain.
