LIE OF SMALL BILLS.
It Is Found at the Treasury That It Is
Now About Two Years.

The life of paper note, and especially
those of small denominations. as a one,
two, or five dollar bill, has always been
much shorter than the average person
would imagine OF late, however, owing
to the great increase of prosperity
throughout the country, its existence
has been curtailed until at the beginning
OF the present year It has been esti-
mated that the ordinary outstanding
note now lives but little more than
two years.
The main reason for this lies in the
fact that as business becomes more ac-
tive there is a greater demand for small
bills for ready use, and these being
handled oftener and more carelessly
than the larger ones, they wear out
much sooner. This tendency to have the
average value constantly reduced has
made a great increase in the issue of
new money amounting to over $23. 900 600
in bank notes and government paper
currency, and a proportionate increase
in destruction and redemption
All of this has its effect on every de-
partment through which the note passes,
from the time Of the beginning of its
existence in the paper mills of Massa-
cnuSeLlSs where 1t IS sent to the bureau
Of engraving, to the treasury, and to the
countless people who use it until it
again reaches the treasury. where it is
redeemed and ground into pulp.
in the paper mills this increase in the
demand for notes necessitates more en-
ployes and more machinery. In the bu-
reau OF engraving where the money is
engraved, printed. and numbered, before
being taken to the treasury, the results
are still more manifest. During the
past year $50 more clerks have been
added, thus bringing the number up to
1851, which, when set up against the
479 employees which composed the entire
working staff of the bureau twenty five
years ago. is a forcefuI reminder of the
rapid growth and prosperity of this
country. The great amount of work
done by the bureau since 1900 has re-
quired the organization of a night force,
besides the extension at times of the
hours of labor Of the entire printing

KRUPP ALWAYS HUNGRY.

Although he had an income of nearly
"a 600, 600 a year the late Frederick
krupp, famous the world over as an
inventor and manufacturer of heavy
ordnance, suffered acuteIy from dys-
pepsia and for years could not eat a
hearty meal Much Of his time on the
island of Essen was spent in making
trips on the water to continue the deep
sea investigation IN which he was
deeply inter ested. His invariable COM

instructor from the university at Kra-
kau, in whom Herr Krupp took a great

already made every arrangement. In

any circumstances.
During his whole life his health was
poor and that combined with his great
business responsibilities gave him at 45
something OF the look of an old man.
And he always looked more than his
age.
He took with him to Essen, n order
that he might undergo the ScFwen-
niger cure, the keeper of one of the
hotels freouented by the natives. Many
of the inha bitants of Capri are said to
have reason to remember his generosi-

RALPH AS A REPORTER.
He Was Considered the Best New
York Ever Had.

Julian Ralph. who died in this city on
Tuesday was probably the best re-
porter that our town ever saw. There
is no exaggerat ton in stating that he
possessed in a degree unparalleled by
that of any contemporary. the power OF
describing current events for purposes
of newspaper publication. There was
born in him a limpid. nervous, literary
stvle that flowed from his pen as freely
as a mountain brook from its native
hillside. sparkling with gay wit and
poetic fancy, and Astounding in an un-
conquerable enthusiasm that was as
fresh and beautiful as a spring morn
ing. He could not only write a news
paper story. but could successfully hunt
for the minute details of it; and when
he had found them he made of them a
glowing picture of light and color. full
now of rollicking humor, now Of ex-
ouisite tenderness, and again, it may be,
Of beating drums and pealing trumpets.
He was most conscientious IN the per-
Torrance of every task he undertook,
thereby putting to shame many of the
ideals of the newer school of journalism.
In the latter part of his life he did much
magazine work and wrote several
novels, but we believe we express the

of this work, of course, was done for

IRRITATING TROUBLE QUICKLY
OVERCOME.
If You Only Find Out the Right Course
to Pursue.

Many physicians who advertise to
cure piles. without the aid of the knife,
simply use Pyramid Pile Cure remedies.
They do so because they know it is the
best medicine for obtaining proper
combination of the most scientific in
gradients for the cure of piles.
Pyramid Pile Cure is not in an expert
mental stage, but is an esta blished rem
edy and is recognized and used by the
best physicians in the country. Being
in suppository form, it reaches the trou-
BILE at once and the healing process is
quick and effective; immediate results
are obtained, and before the patient
realizes the fact he has recovered from
the pain, suffering and irritation which
this trouble causes.
Children who suffer from this painful
trouble, obtain relief at once. It is well
with very young child to reduce the
size of the suppository before using.
However if children are afflicted with
piles, they should be treated without de-
lay or the trouble may become chronic
with Pyramid Pile Cure.
The prevention of piles is better than
the cure and they can be prevented If
only people would look to the regular
ity of the bowels and not become con-
stipated Constipation and its attendant
ills can be avoided by the use of Pyra-
mid Pills. The prOprietors of the Pyra-
mid Pile Cure saw that it was necessary
to use with the ma iority of their pat
tents a mild non-irritating laxative, and
the Pyramid Pills for constipation were
the result of much careful thought and
patient investigation Pyramid Pile
Cure and Pyamid Pills are sold by
druggists everywhere for fifty and tWen
ty-five cents per package
A little book on the nature and cure
Of hemorrhoids or piles will be furnish

TOOK A STRAW VOTE.
Interesting Experiment in a Res
taurant.

An advertising agent, representing a
prominent New York magazine, while
on a recent western trip, was dining one
evening in Pittsburg restaurant.
While waiting for his order he glanced
over his newspaper and noticed the adj
vertisement of a we'll known dyspepsia
preparation, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets. as he himself was a regular user
of the tablets he began specializing us
to how many Of the other travelling men
in the dining room We're also friends OF
the popular remedy for indigestion
He says: I counted tWenty-three men
al the tables and in the hotel Office 1
took the trouble to interview them and
was surprised TO learn that nine of the
twenty three made a practice of taking
one or two of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tab
lets after each meal.
One of them told me he had suffered
so much from stomach trouble that al
one time he had been obliged to quit
the road. but since using Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets had been entirely free
from Indigestion. but he continued their
use, especially while travelling, on ac-
count of iTregularity in meals and be-
cause like all travelling men he was often
obliged to eat what he could get and not
always what he wanted.
Another. who looked the picture of
health, said he never tie a meal without
taking a Stuart Tablet afterward be-
cause he could eat what he pleased and
when he pleased, without fear of a
sleepless night or any other trouble
Still another used them because he
was subject TO gas on stomach, causing
pressure on heart and lungs. shortness
of breath and distress in chest. which
he no longer experienced since using the
tablets regularly.
Another claimed that Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets was the only safe rem
edy he had ever found for sour stoma Oh
and acidity. he had formerly used COM
mon soda to relieve the trouble. but the
tablets we're much better and safer to
use.
