Bank Washing Day.

In some banks there Is a regular
washday every month, usually at the
beginning, when q clerk may be seen
bent over a tub and rubbing real mon-
ey up and down a washboard. The
dirty greenbacks that have been saved
up for a month are soaped and rub
bed just like handkerchiefs and socks
and are run through a wringer before
being put out to dry. The paper cur
rency may be handled somewhat
roughly, as 1t does not tear because
there Is In 1t great deal Of silk and
linen. After the notes have been
passed through the wringer they are
hung on line stretched in the bank
clerks department. Said one clerk
the other day: 81 wash about 100 notes
every month, and when I'm done you
can hardly tell them from new money.
The washing strengthens as well as
cleans the notes."-Philadelph Rec.
