DIN Is known seigniorage. The metal
in one-cent piece Is worth only s"sh'
fraction OF its face value. The remain
der represents clear profit TO the gov
eminent. Every time coin Is lost n
Gle Sam makes the difference between its
actual value and Its face value. How
many of these get lost is shown by the
fact that, although the little half-cent
pieces that We're issued many years ago
are very seldom seen nowadays moro
than 5000 have never been returned TO
the Treasury. II is estimated that Co.,
600 of these have been lost forever. The
two-cent and three-oen pieces are also
unusually scarce, and vet more than mill
lion dollars worth of them have never
come back to the Treasury.
One of the most interesting bureaus
under the Treasury Department is that
known as the secret service. Its main
work is to guard the currency OF the
country against counterfeiting. 1t is said
that the best guardians of the currency
are the tellers in the banks, and that
more than nine-tenths of all the COUNTER
felt money discovered In circulation rs
detected by them. The counterfeiter OF
today takes advantage of every modern
process In his work, and by using pho
to-mechanical methods is able to produce
results that can be detected only by the
skilled handler of money. How compare
lively little counterfeit money there is
in circulation is shown by the fact that
out of some $1,000 100000 which passed
through the hands of Treasury officials
less than $1,000 worth of bad money was
found After the spurious money is de-
tected il becomes the duty OF the secret
service to run down its makers. This
often requires a vast amount of patience
and keen detective work on the part or
the secret service officials.

ers for the paste and various molds and
ornaments Another old book Of favorite
dishes, "A Queens Delight" refers to
the molds as cards. Put your cake be-

together till the cakes are cold. Currant
breads, very popular throughout the sew
enteenth century, called forth all the
energies of the mold maker: prominent
persons and even political crises left
their mark within the followed cavern
of the die.
The favorite material for these old
pastry mOlds was undoubtedly pear
wood. but there are many made of box
wood still in existence, and a set In beech
is discovered occasionally. The solidity
of the molds is a noticeable feature:
frequently they were more than an inch
