greeable discovery. My punt was leak
ing badly and there was already quite
three inches of water in the bottom.
Moreover, it was pouring in with

only question of time before the

swim a stroke it didn't strike me that
the situation was particularly pleas
ant one.
81 decided to toss my line in once
more for luck, anyway, and the hook
had no more than disappeared beneath
the surface when it was seized by a
huge bass, who started out toward
shore, pulling like a mogul locomotive.
The water was rising rapidly and was
getting desperate, when happened to
realize that here was my chance.
quickly made one end of the line fast
to thwart, and, seizing the oars, /
helped my friend, the bass, with all
the strength that was in me. At last
we reached the beach and safety.
"The bass who so fortunately took
my bait is still swimming about in the
clear, cool depths of Pushaw. I de-
cided that one good turn deserved an
other, and l carefully removed the
hook and tossed him back"
When Mr.. Bingwater finished an
awful hush fell upon the party and for
several minutes no one spoke.
"Why didn't you bail the boat out ?''

RICHMOND, Va, Jan. 1.-Flood fire

river has risen to twenty-three and
half feet, within four feet of the level
of the great freshet of 1877. Lower
Main street and a greater part of Full

city, are flooded When the freshet
was near its height, fire caused by the
water coming in contact with the lime

The property is situated on the
creeks Of the flooded district. and at
one time it seemed inevitable that It
would be destroyed. but change of

department averted that The hose

submerged coal cars and buoyed on

men fought the flames standing mp to
their waists in water. The fire was
confined TO the building in which Il
started.
1t is estimated that the occupants of
some 200 small houses on this and the
Manchester sides of the river have
been vacated temporarily. The gas
works are partially under water and
the gas supply cut off. This condition
seriously cripples the newspapers. as
the metal for their linotype machines
is heated by gas. All are working

Farmers and Labor,
Good Wages in Towns are Steadily Drawing
Men From Rural Work.

Despite the gradual and steady in
crease of farm wages, the last twelve
months have been marked by serious
shortage of farm help. From all Sec
tons of the state the complaint is the
same. Various causes have been
assigned for the condition. Among
them is the fact that other branches
OF labor require much shorter hours
and pay better wages. Another rea-
son assigned is the fact that farm
hands are isolated and cannot meet
together during the evening as can
laborers in other industries.
1t has been claimed also that the
character of labor required since agri-
cultural implements of all kinds have
been introduced is of a higher grade
and should have better wages. Some
farmers are looking sideways at the
question of Chinese exclusion and
wonder if the entrance of this class of
laborers might not solve the difficulty,
which promises to become more seri-
Gus each year. The claim is made
that at the present price of farm pro-
ducts 1t is one of the questions to pay
higher wages, but the fact seems to
be evident that wages must advance
until more are induced to work upon
farms.
Officials of the state department of
agriculture say the demand for scien-
t'hc farmers in Pennsylvania far ex-
ceed the supply. Educated farmers,
capable of taking care OF large farms
and estates and conducting them on
the latest improved methods of farm
ing, command salaries ranging from
sos to SI25 a Notwithstanding

Uncle Sans Greatest Secret.
The Paper on Which Our Money Notes arr
Printed is jeaIousIy Guarded from Pulp to
Press.

II there is any secret which Uncle
Sam jealousy guards It is the process
of manufacturing the fibre paper upoa
which his money notes are printed
He pays Massachusetts firm forty
three cents pound for it, and this
firm does its work under the surveill-
ance of Government agent The
paper is manufactured OF the finest
rags, cleaned, boiled and mashed into
pulp. AS it is rolled into thin sheets
silk threads are introduced into it by
a secret process. These are the dis
tinguishlng marks making imitation Of
the paper well.nigh impossible. The
sheets of paper, already counted twice
and placed in uniform packages at
the paper mill, are stored in Treas
ury vault and issued to the Bureau OF
Engraving and Printing as wanted
Before leaving the Treasury they are
counted three times more, and the
receiving official at the bureau must
receipt for them. Then the bundles
are unwrapped and the sheets are
counted twenty-eight times by corps
of women. This is to insure that each
printer gets the recorded number--uo
more, no less. If one sheet of this
precious paper be lost the entire force
OF men and women having access to
the room where the displacement has
occurred are kept in, like SO many
school children, 10 find 1t. Each
sheet is issued from the vault for the
printing of a definite amount of money
upon it. II the lost sheet were ia-
tended to ultimately represent four
thousand dollars worth of notes the
group of employees to whom the res
possibility of its mlsplacement has
been traced must make good that
amount if they cannot locate it with
IN reasonable time. The most ex-
penslve loss which has thus occurred
was of blank sheet issued for the
printing of eighty dollars upon its
face.-JoHN ELFRETH WATKINS, JR,
