The treasury macerator produc- ton, or output, was therefore worth a great deal more to the manufacturers and always brought much larger price.

FATE OF OLD BANK NOTES.
To Be More Thoroughly Maeerated
 For Pieces Have Been Redeemed.

From the New York Tribune
 Through an order promulgated by the treasurer of the United States the old macerating machine in the sub-basement of the treasury at Washington has been put out of commission, and hereafter all paper money, whether issued by the gov ernment or by national banks, will be reduced to pulp in the large macerator at the bureau of engraving and printing.
 This order was brought about by a protest made by national bankers claim ing that the old machine failed to do it's work perfectly and that the bank notes dumped into 1t not infrequently turned up in sections for redemption by the banks of issue, that the pulp sold to various makers and manufacturers of images, to be resold as souvenirs, was filled with large pieces of bills and that thete were picked from the pulp images and offered for redemption. Notwithstanding the fact that the treasury macerator had been in service for many years and has reduced to pulp many trillions of dol lars in bank notes which had ceased to be current, this complaint was the first one ever made against its nonperform- ance of duty, but the treasurer got such positive evidence4that the bankers were

can be seen of the figure is carefully wrapped in the toga of a Roman senator. Then there is a Columbus with a broad, heavy face entirely Flemish in character, with a big. fat nose, two warts on the right cheek, and the hair arranged sym metrically in horizontal rows of curls, with a cap and the conventional dress. From what remote ancestor did the Ital ian sailor inherit this foreign face? The label says 1t is copy of the Delay en- graving and that the original was paint ed from life by order of the Catholic kings before Columbus sailed on his first voyage of discovery, and that this orig inal was stolen from the Hall of the Coun- cil of the Indies and taken to the Meth erlands.
 Picture of de Rinson.
 Beside this picture hangs an equally authentic presentation of the features of the great discoverer from the original by Antonio de Rinson. The old court painter to Ferdinand and Isabella the Catholic must have known Columbus and listened to the history of his voyages from his own lips Furthermore though taken from a picture centuries old, this face has such a spirited and vigorous ex- rression that one feels that it must have been taken directly from life and that here at last is Columus with bright, in- telligent eyes; human, humorous mouth and scant hair prematurely gray. There Is a totally different Columbus in next line, however, who commands at tention-a Columbus with snow white hair parted in the middle. He is clothed in low necked white shirt without a col lar. and a scarlet coat; in one hand he holds an hour-glass and in the other chart. In the background of distant land scape an Indian wanders dimly and vaguely around. The expression of this face is indescribably coy not to say CO., ouettish. There are others-one which de- picts the hard-handed navigator or un- known seas as typical dandy who might have graced the court of good Queen Bess, with queenly cropped hair mustache and goatee and wearing ruffs and wristbands of kind which did not come into fashion until some hundred years after his death.
 But the picture one takes away In memory is that of Columbus in Chains, from the historical painting by Wrappers Tn this he appears as we best like to im- arine him except for the chains)-a man of great and venerable personality, With deep-set gloomy eyes looking out with direct and noble seorn beyond the petty tyranny of his jealous contemporaries.

the register, and these representatives go with the heavily guarded wagon contain ing the money to the bureau, where it Is taken from the steel boxes, checked off placed in the macerator, the iron doors closed, locked and sealed, and then the machine begins it's work of destruc- tion. The large boiler or vat in which the money is placed is filled with some kind of chemicals, and a network of ma chinery keeps up continuous churning and grinding until 12 o'clock the follow ing day, wheD it is stopped, the pulp taken out and another million or two placed in, to be treated in the same way for the next twentyfour hours.

proaches and prepares for it.
It was the unexpected cold, the
wet cold, that some Juniors
considered even colder than a
winter day. At least it was
not very pleasant to go to a pic
mic or lake outing attired in
summary garments, and be first
drenched and then chilled by
a biting wind. Those sudden
changes from summer heat to
the temperature of a respecta-
BILE late fall day frequently sent
Juniors to bed with colds and
other Affections. There were
"reminiscences of heavy falls of
snow in April after the anemo-
mes and blood-roots blossomed,
of cold rains in June and July,
and of light snow furries even
in August which indeed seems
little short of ridiculous. There
was a sudden ocean trip taken
by party in summer clothes,
but they wished they had not
when they were well out on the
water. The weather was cold,
too, when rash Juniors went
thru 'rubbery' ice. Cold rides
and cold walks, cold dreams
and cold talks, a cold cellar

selves in by mistake. a cold call

mother as an ideal cook and
maker of delectable dishes, was
grandmother the storyteller.
Such stories of wars and Indian
outbreaks, of the hardships and
privations of early pioneer days,
Of famines and great floods no
body else could tell; they were
better than stories in books be-
cause they were told with the
vividness and simple directness
Of the sightseer. Then there
were stories of old relics; fans
and letters, gowns and spinning
wheels, high-heeled shoes and
rings,-stories Of balls and mer-
ry-makings of the good old days
and of people mentioned in his
tory. There were strange tales
of lands across the sea, of
quaint people and quainter GUS
toms: But with all her gifts.
nothing could take the place of
her genius for comforting; she
was healer alike of cut fingers
and torn hose, she seconded the
aggrieved boys request for a
second piece Of pie, and she
called small sinners "dearie' no
matter how naughty providing
they were sorry. And in return
the youngsters adored grand
mother as only they can.
