 In the estimation of the thousands upon thousands of persons who each year visit the national capital there Is apparently only one point of interest which may be net for the sightseer This universal mecca is the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. This unique institution occupies shadow of the famous Washington Monu- ment, and It's function is to provide the pe9p,e pep e or th unGe I,, sams domain including Philippines. Hawaii. Porto Rico and Guam. with all the paper money and postage stamps which may be needed to keep our portion of the world In motion.
 As the population of the country has in- creased and the activities of the govern ment have expanded the Bureau of En- graving and Printing has undergone rapid development. until now this odd print shop gives employment to nearly 5000 per- sons, and 1t may interest our femfnIne readers to know that more than one-balf pr them are women. Indeed. in order to seeIt seep pace % with the rate at which the great American people are now making the money fly. 1t is necessary for the presses presses at the pig money factory to keep Wnirrlng In their ceaselesS grind ai through the night. as we'll as during the daylight hours.

 Each press is operated by a man known as a plate-printer. who Is assisted by a young woman helper. The girl removes from the machine the piece of paper which has been stamped with the magical design. and substitutes for it fresh,

Uncle Sam has this paper made especially for his use by a secret process in a mill in Massachu- though 1t were a fort and where there are stationed government officers who VIII not permit the. manufacture of any greater quantity of the paper than the Treasurv Department can use in its money making. This paper. it may be explained, has many distinctive features which render 1t i'm possible for any counterfeiter to success fully initiate it. but probably the safe guard with which the public Is most familiar is the appearance in the sl1 papehb ber or two of which may be see in every piece or currency
 Of course. there is no end of prepara- ton to be made ere all is in readiness for the printing of the new money. First or all. q design has to be determined upon for each new style of greenback. just as for each new variety of postage stamp and very often many different watercolor sketches have to be submitted to the oifi- cials ere they find a drawing which, suits them. When a design is finally selected 1t is turned over to the engravers. whose duty 1t Is to prepare the plates from which the printing Is done and which cor responds to the type In the ordinary classes of printing
 These engravers nre all experts. some of them receiving high as s6.0O0 a year. and. moreover. they are all specialists. in that each devotes his entire time and talents to some one bran, l of the work. Thus, one engraver is especially skilful in cutting vignettes; another's skill lies in scroll work: still another is an adept in artistic lettering, and so on. This necess- tates division of the labor of preparing a plate. and when a fresh design is re- ceived to be perpetuated in steel it is ap- portioned among the different engravers. each of whom is past master in his own branch of the work. but not one of whom
