These printing presses are constantly
at work in the steel protected rooms OF
the Treasury Department. Ii is, in
fact, safely estimated that by the close
of the present year these presses will
have turned out enough greenbacks to
furnish each of the T6,000,000 inhabit-
ants of this land with about $40 each
This means 1O7, 100000 of crisp new
bills of various denominations will be
used
In the matter of postage stamps, the
figures are even more enormous. 1t Is
estimated that ON an average every
man, woman and child in the United
States will use fifty-three postage
stamps during the year, forty ofthem
being of the popular two-cent demon
nation. The total number consumed
will be over 4, goo 100000

Finally, before any one llslves the
building at the close of work, every
printed sheet and piece of paper and
every plate and die must be accounted
for. There are about 1,40( employees
in the building.
An automatic device registers every
piece of paper printed, so that no dis
honest workman could run of with a
few bills ON his own account; but no
printer Is allowed to leave the building
unless he has pass showing chat his
register tallies with the namber Of
sheets given to him and afterward sur
rendered by him.
The sheets printed ON one side are
taken downstairs, counted, dried on
after which they go back to be damp
ened again, and printed with the faces
of the notes -four on each Sheet. They
are counted agaiii.seiried once more,
again examined, and are subjected to
a hydraulic pressure of 5000 pounds,
which makes them smooth. Finally,
they are numbered serially by auto
matte machines and. after a lest count
are sent over to the Treasury. They are
not money actually until eacl of them

Ex-senator Lindsay of Kentucky Has
Same Cherubic Countenance.
"As everybody knows who has seen
former Senator Lindsay of my State,
and now a practicing attorney of New
York city," says a Kentuckian, accord
ing to the Detroit Free Press. his face
has the cherubic rotundity and the
sanity innocence which characterized
that of the late Robert G. Ingersoll, and
had no little to do with the powerful at
traction he eXerted over most people
who listened to his mastery eloquence.
On one occasion when the Senator was
on a train going home from Washing
ton a passenger at some point In Vir-
ginia came into the car and sat down
across the aisle from the Kentucky
statesman. 1t was some time before
the new arrival had taken his bearings,
but as soon as he had become accus-
toned to his surroundings and had set
tied down to more careful inspection
of the people about him, he spotted the
Senator. After that there was no one

aisle as If he had been q pretty girl.
The Senator caught his eye two or
three times, but United States Sena-
tor is used to being looked at, and he
didn't give 1t second thought. Not
SO with the new arrival. He was ut
terly unable to get his mind off Of it,
and at last he got up and crossed over
to the Kentuckian.
az beg pardon, SIR he said with
extreme politeness, aren't you Col In

"'Do you mean Robert G. Ingersoll,
the noted infidel and Republican, ask
ed the Senator with well assumed
amazement and horror.
"The intruder was abashed, but held
his ground.
"'Y-y-yes,' he stammered, backing
away bit.
"'No, SIR" replied the Senator with
the severest dignity. L am a Presby-
terrain minister, sir
1.-The man apologized profusely, but
was so embarrassed by his mistake
that he went forward into the next car,
and the Senator had a chance to laugh
without giving himself away"

Familiar with Porters.

A Kentuckian and Georgian on the
way to New York In a Pullman car de-
tected an early GOODNESS ON the part of
the porter 1t worried the Georgian
good deal. "If l just had that brown
scoundrel in my State I'd kick MAm
off the train" he said. "He isn't polite
He does not know his place or his bust
ness or the business of the corporation
that allows him to live" The Ken
tuckian replied: Don't worry. 1t may
be that you haven't travelled with pOr-
tiers as long as l have. What you have
said about that Niger is absolutely
true, but just before we get to Jersey
City he will relax, he will relax" After
passing Newark Mr.. Portah pranced
up, all smiles, whisk in hand, to do the
final act and collect his quarter. He
was permitted to dust off the two tray
eers, hold their top coats and hand
down their hats, and as he fingered
with an air of confident expectancy the
Kentuckan remarked: See here, my
friend, If you had relaxed sooner you'd
have made 30 cents out of us two, but
you relaxed too late. Go on and tend
to your business. Other passengers are
waiting fer you. New York Press.

session of any such paper by private
persons is prohibited under severe pen
alties, as prlma facie evidence of intent
to defraud. The packages of 1000
sheets, each OF the proper size for print
ing four notes, are deftly counted and
carefully examined by young women,
whom long practice has made wonder
fully expert. When every imperfect
sheet has been picked out and replaced
to the printer in the Bureau of Engrav-
ing and Printing.
Engraving and Printing.
The Bureau of Engraving and Print
ing Is the name given to the Govern
ment factory for designing, engraving
and printing its bonds, certificates,
checks, notes and stamps, and many
other official papers. 1t is under the
control of the Treasury Department
and occupies a handsome brick build
ing on Fourteenth street, 5. W., within
five minutes walk of the Washington
monument. The building Is three sto-
ries high, 800 feet long by 1876 feet
wide, and was built in 1878 at cost
of $300000. 1t is simply a crowded fac
tory of high-class technical work.
All of the engraving Is done upon
steel and an interesting process 1t is.
The surface of the steel Is soft enough
to yield readily to the artists graver.
The engraved plate is then hardened,
laid in press, and cylinder of soft
steel is rolled across 1t, under sutfi-
Client pressure to indent its surface
with an exact reversed duplicate OF
the original engraving This cylinder
Is now itself hardened, and then rolled.
under pressure. over flat plate of soft
steel which in turn receives an imprint
of the engraved surface of the roller.
This last plate, which Is, of course, an
exact reproduction of the original en-
craving. is then hardened and used to
print from. while the original engrav-
ing is stored away in vault.
All of the engraving is done by hand,
except the designs of intricate circles
and curving endless lines, known as
engine turning. which adorn the bor-
ders of bonds. and the faces of notes,
etc, and which defy imitation. This is
the work of an expensive and compli-
Gated machine.
The printing division occupies the
third floor of the building and employs
about 500 persons. Six hundred print
ed sheets is the daily task allotted to
each pressman. ard as all imperfect
sheets are rejected by the examiners
and reesid made of the number and
