warning at the office of the guards
and in the police stations Of the city
of Washington. A signal, long contin-
ued, would suffice to bring out the
troops at Fort Myer, three miles away.
Besides these mechanical safeguards
there Is a large force of men engaged
In watching the treasury. The secre-

Harvesting Onion cron.

Early In September when the tops
begin to die the onions can be pulled
and laid In wind-rows. The most salts.
factory method is to straddle one row
and pull three at time, laying the
three rows into one. with the bottoms
all the same way. After they have
thoroughly dried the tops can be easily
removed either by breaking OF by
hand or by using small knife or pair
of sheep shears. Toppy 40 bushels a
day is little better than an average
boy can do. This completes the opera
tion of growing. and the next thing to
think Of is selling, which win not be
difficult unless too many onion patches
are started in the same neighborhood.

The sketches given are suggestions
for little place cards, which can be
traced through carbon paper upon
white cardboard and linked In. The
outlines are arranged so that the de-

upon which you will write the name
OF each guest. Any dotted lines in
dicate that the cardboard should be
bent at that place.

| Of time locks.
The paper money of the government
is brought in iron-bound chests, locked
and sealed, from the bureau of engrav.
Ing and printing. They are delivered
at the cash room to the chief of the
division Of Issue In sheets of four bills
each. They are complete with sigma
ture and number, except for the seal,
which Is printed upon them with power
presses in small apartment under
the cash room.
These presses are operated by two
persons, usually a pressman and a
woman, who acts as feeder or assist
ant. When the seal has been imprint
ed upon the bills they are counted au-
tomatically, bound in packages Of
equal number by bands Of paper,
marked, signed by the persons who
have handled them, and passed into
an adjoining room, where the sheets
are cut, and the bills are recounted
and inspected, In order that the i'm
perfect ones may be thrown out. The
next step is to bind them into pack
ages Of equal amounts and to take
them to the drying vault, to lie upon
the shelves for several weeks until
the ink shall become perfectly dry.
The utmost ingenuity Is exercised to
surround these transactions with every
possible safeguard. The chief Of the
division is enabled to tell which Of his
many subordinates have touched the
different bills in the vaults; he knows
who received them, who printed the

Grain for Chickens.

Toward the close of the molting sea-
son the chickens should have good
fresh feeds of wheat or oats to supply
material for maturing the new crop
of feathers. It does not pay to starve
chickens at this period. for 1t requires
a great amount Of food material to
make the feathers. II the chickens
do not have enough to eat they win
grow thin and weak and II will be a
long time before they begin laying.

clothes to make them shiny" he said.

colored. He told his landlady that he
lost his way in Centre Market and that
when he came out on the Mulberry
street side he fell into an areaway. The

moaning and asked II he wanted a
doctor. He said he did not, that he
was studying Christian Science and
didn't believe In doctors.
