a number of newspaper correspond,
ents In the national capital We're dis
cussing treasury department affairs
and the mount of money handled by
the officials when the question arose,
How long does it take for the women
experts in the treasury to count Il mil
lion new one dollar notes, and how
long does it tax to count q million old
one dollar notes?" This question was
taken to the treasurer, who authorized
one of his subordinates to prepare the
following memorandum:
AS to the time it will require to count
one million dollars, you are informed
that in handling new notes an expert
IN this office could count in a day Of
eight hours about fifty thousand DOL
lars. Of course this refers to notes Of
the denomination of one dollar. In
counting gold certificates of the de-
nomination of ten thousand dollars
each it would require but a Q time,
to count one million dollars.
At this rate twenty days would be
occupied in counting one million dollars
represented by notes of the denornina-
ton of one dollar. However. 1t is hard
ly possible that any one could keep up
to these figures for such a period. and
it would be safe to add five days and
say that one million paper dollars could
be counted in twenty-five days.
OF silver dollars, forty thousand may
be counted in n day of eight hours,
whicl rate, if adhered to. would finish
the one million dollars in twenty-five
days, but It would be well to add five
days here for the same reason and
make it thirty days for counting d mil
lion silver dollars.
In counting old notes the conditions
are much changed. There are five DIFF
ferent kinds Of paper currency-geld
silver certificates, United
States notes (greenbacks), treasury
notes Of 1890 and national bank notes.
Remittances Of mutilated currency
may contain all these different kinds OF
currency. They may not be assorted
properly by denominations and may be
badly mutilated. Where cases OF this
occur the count is tedious and
slow, but assuming that the currency
sent is in accordance with regulations
an expert could on an average count
fifteen thousand dollar notes q lay.
This would require about seventy days
to count a million one dollar bills in
old notes Of various kinds of paper

In the seventeenth century there was
a great demand in Russia for portable
icons, especially from members OF a
sect known as the Old Believers, who,
as they were under the ban of a per-
scouting government, wished for icons
that they could carry about and con
ceal withSease. Only Russian patience
perhaps could have proved equal to
the task Of producing the delicateIy
worked and almost microscopic objects
that speedily became popular-a Last

SEED is NATURES GEM,
1t Is the One Priceless Jewel In Her
Treasure House.


Treasure House.
In natures great treasure house tie
seed is the one priceless gem Com
pared to it the great deposits of coal,
the mines of silver and gold and of
diamonds and precious stones are as
nothing. Man counts his wealth in
dollars and cents, in mining and rail-
road shares and in houses and lands,
while his primal necessities are limited
to food and clothing. Without these
all other tokens of affiuence are void.
These indeed are the sources of true
wealth, and the grass of the field sup
plies them all directly or Indirectly.
The cereal grains-wheat, rye, oats,
barley, rice and Indian corn-which
are the seeds of true grasses, are con-
vertible directly into food The succu-
lent leaves and culm of the wild grass
es furnish sustenance to millions of
cattle, sheep and goats and are trans
formed by them into flesh, milk, wool
and hides, thus Indirectly providing
meat and clothing. They also protect
the soil from flood and drought and
landslide. Sending their fibrous roots
down among the shifting sands of the
seashore, they bind the unstable par
ticles into a mass so dense as to check
the erosion Of the waves. Thus grass,
the synonym of frailty, is able to raise
It's tiny green scepter against the de-
structive power of the elements.-Out-
