PRINTING PAPER MONEY.
AN INDUSTRY MONOPOLIZED BY
THE NATIONAL GOVERNMENT.
Great Heaps of Paper Turned Into
Currency at the Bureau of En
graving and Printing-
Thcse checks with which the Govern
ment surrounds the making of paper
money begin at one end of the line at
the paper mill, where the distinctive
paper on which notes of revenue stamps
are printed, and at the other end in the
engraving room, where skilled engravers
are engaged working out designs upon
plates of steel. Every scrap of the blank
paper has to be accounted for, and it is
guarded as jealously as though it already
had the seal of the Treasury on it. This
paper is kept in the paper room of the
Treasury, and is issued in quantities as
required by the force under Mr. E. O.
Graves, the Chief of the Bureau of En
graving and Printing. The little bits of
.steel on which the engravers woik are
also carefully guarded. An official of
the Treasury Department receives them
from the engravers every evening and
locks them in strong vaults. The next
morning they arc taken out again and
the engravers resume their work upon
them. In these vaults—there are two of
them—the Treasury Department has
thousands of plates and steel rolls, used
in printing money and stamps of various
kinds. The vaults arc, for convenience
sake, located in the Engraving and
Printing building, but tbev are not under
the supervision of that bureau. When
the bureau needs a plate out of the col
lection, it borrows it from the Treasury
Department and has to give a receipt
for U. The plates required for use are
borrowed every morning and returned
every evening.
It is in the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing that the paper, the engraving,
and the ink come together, and with the
aid ot manual skill and mechanical ap
pliam cs are transmuted into the dollars
that the American people are commonly
represented us struggling for with much
avidity.
Up in the third story is the room where
the paper is received. A portion of the
room is divided from the rest by a high
iron net-work railing. Clerks are busy
at desks and a number of young women
are there rapidly counting sheets of
paper. Just as the reporter enters two
large cases arc rolled iu on trucks.
These contain paper, for which a requisi
tion had been made on the Treasury.
The requisition, written on blanks pre
pared for the purpose, contained many
items, each staling the number of sheets
wanted and what they were wanted lor.
The sheets are counted and a careful re
cord made of the whole transaction. Tho
paper is then moistened by being piled
in stacks with alternate layers of wet
cloths. From this division of the bureau
the paper is issued to the plate printers,
who make requisition for it as required
by them. Each plate printer has a young
woman as a helper. The helper comes
for the paper, signs a receipt for it, and
has to certify that she has received the
required number of sheets. She has to
i ouiit the sheets in order to certify to this,
and the plate printer has to certify that he
witnessed the count. So it is known
exactly how many sheets each printer
has in his possession, and he has to ac
count before leaving the building for
everyone. If for any reason he leaves
the building before his day’s work is
done lie has to get a pass-card with a
formidable array of signatures on it, be
fore it will be honored at the door. This
card has blank spaces in which arc filled
in numbers showing the amount of paper
taken out, the amount of work done, and
the number of sheets returned. It has
to be signed by the clerk of the wetting
division, by an examining clerk, and by
others who verify the figures.
When the day's work is done the
printer returns his plate to the custodian,
who has a desk in one corner of the
room. In the morning wdien the printer
gets a plate he gives a check bearing bis
number. The custodian lias a rack of
little hooks on which he hangs these
checks. When the printer returns the
plate the check is returned to him and he
gives the custodian the keys of his press,
which is hung on the hook in place of
the check. Tims by glancing at the
rack the custodian can at once tell what
printers have not returned their plates.
Among the improvements Mr. Graves,
the chief of the bureau, is introducing,
is the lighting of the press room with
incandescent electric lights. Although
the building is well provided with win
dows, the printers at work at a distance
from the windows find the light insuffi
cient on nays when tLe sun is obscured.
< las lights are objectionable on account of
the intolerable heat made in connection
with the gas heaters.
From the press-room the work goes
down to tbe examining-room on the floor
below. Here the sheets are subjected to
a series of counts and examinations.
The first examiners throw out every
sheet in which they discover any imper
fection. These sejected sheets arc again
examined by another set of examiners,
who retain all the sheets that will pass
a liberal inspection or that can be made
presentable by a little touching up. The
sheets, when they come to this division,
arc still damp, and after the first count
they are turned over to a man in charge
of the drying racks. Each package has
to have on it, in addition to the numc of
the printer and the various counters
through whose hands it has passed, the
initial made with a r*d pencil of the per
ron who calls out to another person keep
ing the books flip name of the printer
and the number of sheets in the package.
If this initial is not on tho package the
lack man will not receive it. This is a
precaution to make sure that the printer
rc. eives proj er credit for his work.
When the drying racks are filled they
are rolled into a drying-room, an apart
ment where the temperature is kept at
D»0 degiees by means of steam coils.
The sheets remain here over night, un
der lock and key, and closely guarded.
The next day they are brought out again
and again counted. Up to this time tho
work of each printer is kept by itself.
Kow the packages, having been ex
amined, are broken up and re-sorted into
new packages of the required number.
'I lie sheets are rumpled and crinkly from
tlie ctlccts of moistening. To cure this
they are subjected to hydraulic pressure,
and come out as smooth as silk. From
this examining division the Treasury and
bank notes, fotir on a sheet, go to a room
where women are operating machines
that trim the edges or margins of the
sheet.— Watftinqton Star.
Paying far the Right to Fly the Fla*.
When two of the most distinguished
Senators in public life called upon Sec
retary Bayara recently and insisted upon
an appointment in the consular service
for one of their constituents, the Secre
tary replied that he had nothing which
it would pay the man to accept. The
Washington corre c pondent of the New
York Herald tells the continuation of the
story:
“He isn’t particular about the salary,”
one of the visitors observed; “SI,OOO a
year will suit him.”
“A thousand dollars a year,” echoed
•be Secretary sarcastically, “why, I can
find 500 men within twenty-four hours
who would jump at it. Good men, too,”
he continued emphatically, seeing a
look of incredulity upon his visitors’
faces.
“Look here,” he continued, pointing
to the department register, “do you sec
this place, and this, and this?” indicat
ing them as he spoke. “You will 6ee
that the emoluments of these offices fall
below SOO per annum in each case.
Would you think that anybody would
desire an appointment at so trifling a
remuneration as that? No, of course, you
don’t, and yet I have applications daily
for them. It is true the applicants are
not Americans. They are natives of the
different countries in which these consu
lar offices are situated. The men who
want them are engaged in trade. Tne
appointment would permit them to fly
the American flag and invoke the protec
tion of the American Government in the
event of trouble. Several years ago the
Consul General at one of the far eastern
countries was paid $50,000 for five con
sular agencies in his district. He did
this without the consent of his Govern
ment, but he got the money just the
same. You will Fee by the register that
the fees at all five of the places scarcely
foot up SIOO a year. The appointment
carried with it, as I have said, the right
to fly the American flag. It happened
that the men in each case were bankers.
The ruler of that country had the not
unusual eastern fashion of sometimes
levying a heavy tribute upon his rich
subjects. Not unfrequently this tribute
amounted to ns much as the sum paid to
the Consul General. The moment they
represented the United states that mo
ment they were free men <o far as coer
sion from* their ruler went. They paid
high for their immunity, but it undoubt
edly was a good investment.
“I trust, gentlemen,” continued the
Secretary, “that this brief illustration
will show the futility of ever expecting
a vacancy in the consular service, no
matter how unimportant the position
may be. Sometimes the incumbent dies
or is dismissed—sometims, I say. But
l can assure you in all seriousness that
tie never, never resigns.”
How the Money Comes Back.
The bank note or treasury note that
goes forth from the bureau of engraving
and printing, looking so bright ana
handsome, comes back in time, perhaps
ragged, dirty, and torn, like some old
tramp, to end its career there. Every
day or two one will see a closed van,
looking like a big safe on wheels, drawn
through the streets from the Treasury
Department to the bureau, attended
usually by three or four men. This con
tains the old paper money that has come
back to the treasury for redemption. It
is taken to a iooni in the rear of the
bureau of engraving and printing. In
the floor of this room are two circular
holes, about two feet in diameter.
Looking down one of these holes into
the dark depths below one can see a part
of the surface of a huge iron cylinder.
The cylinder can be opened by means of
a round lid or cover. When the old
money is brought in it is dumped down
a funnel into one of these cylinders. A
committee, comprising representatives
of the different branches of the Treasury
Department interested, besides one rep
resentative, in theory at least, of the
general public, gravely watches the
operation. When all the money has
been dumped and mixed with the chemi
cals used in the process of maceration,
the cylinder lid is closed and locked
with several padlocks. Each member
of the committee takes the key of one of
the padlocks. The cylinder is then set
to revolving, and turns and turns until
the committeemen come the next day
and open the lid. If they find that the
mass has been reduced to a pulp and lost
all semblance and trace of its original
character the cylinder is emptied. If
the maceration is not completed the
cylinder is set in motion again. From
800 to 1,200 pounds of old notes, aggre
gating millions of dollars, are placed in
a cylinder at a time, and what would
constitute a princely fortune is churned
away into nothing but a pulpy mass
in a night.— Wash ingcon Star.
Scenes of Carnage at the Pyramids.
Long after Kamescs 11., Cambyses
came, and on the pyramid plain con
quered the Egyptians, mutilated the face
of the Sphinx and broke into the true
outlines of the pyramids—ruthless con
queror, vandal and destroyer that he
was. Twenty-four centuries after, Na
poleon, with his conquering hosts, met
the gold-covered Mamelukes, who, rid
ing ns swift as the wind and as a flame
of fire, hacked the barrels of the French
guns with their blades of Damascus steel.
It was like a blazing volcano. All was
smoke and blood and mutilation, as
though an earthquake had come.
Drooping their heads to the saldle-bow,
the feariess Mamelukes rode forward anu
met the awful volleys of the invader but
only to sink in the sand. Without
horses theD, and laying upon their
backs wounded, they cut at the legs of
the enemy with their keen sabres, never
yielding until conquered by death.
And there, close to the Snhinx, one
can see now the very place whence raoie
up the clouds of smoke and flame amid
the yells of the dcinous who fought,
where lay the masses of dead and dying,
where the depleted ranks of the victims
moved along with bristling arms and
broken standards—moaning and swirling
like the sea that refuses to be quiet after
the storm.— Snribrur'a.

IN THE SPRING
Almost everybody wants a “Spring Tonic.”
Here is a simplo testimonial, which shows how
B. B. B. is regarded. It will knock your malaria
out and restore your appetite:
SPLENDID FOR A SPRING TONIC.
Arlington, Ga., June 30, 1887.
I suffered with malarial blood poison more
or less, all the time, and the only medicine that
done me any good is B. B. B. It is undoubtedly
the best blood medicine made, and for this
malarial country should be used by every one
in the spring of the year, and as good in sum
mer, fall and winter as a tonic and blood puri
fier. * * * *
GIVES BETTER SATISFACTION.
Cadiz, Kt., July 6th, 1887.
Please send me one box Blood Balm Catarrh
Snuff by return mail, as one of ray customers
is taking B. B. B. for catarrh and wants a box
of the snuff. B. B. B. gives better satisfaction
than any medicine I ever sold. I have sold 10
dozen In the post 10 weeks, and it gives good
satisfaction. If I don't remit all right for snuff
write me. Yours,
W. N. Brandon.
IT REMOVED THE PIMPLES.
Round Mountain, Tex., March 29, 1887.
A lady friend of mine has for several years
been troubled with bumps and pimples on her
face and neck, for which she used various cos
metic Gn order to remove them and beautify
and improve her complexion ; but these local
applications were only temporary and left her
skin in a worse condition.
I recommended an internal preparation
known as Botanic Blood Balm—which I have
been using and selling about two years; she
used three lx>ttles and nearly all pimples have
disappeared, her skin is soft and smooth, and
her general health much improved. She ex
presses herself much gratified, and can recom
mend it to all who are thus affected.
Mrs. S. M. Wilson.
The Shah's Great Wealth.
What he terms his museum is a curious
place. It contains a profusion of costly
articles and objects of art such as exist
nowhere else at the present day, it being
the opinion of well-informed Europeans,
who have viewed these treasures, that
their money value is perhaps twenty-fold
that of the contents of the so-called green
vaults at Dresden. It is impossible to
give exact figures, for they could only be
obtained after a long and minute inspec
tion and valuation by experts; but
roughly estimated, it is probable that
there is more than $100,000,000 worth of
jewelry, precious stones, coined and un
coined gold, costly ob/jtU de rerlu, fine
porcelain and glassware, old weapons
and armor, tableware and ornaments of
exquisite Persian and Hindu workman
ship, etc. The so called peacock throne
(a part of the plunder Nadia Shah car
ried all from Delhi 150 years ago) is alone
valued at many millions, even after a
number of the large, rough and uncut
jewels have been broken out and stolen.
It is an incongruous place, this museum.
There you will see vases of agate or gold
and lapis lazuli, said to be worth millions;
and alongside of them empty perfume
bottles of European make, with gaudy
labels, that can be had at wholesale for
about five cents apiece. You will see
priceless mosaics and exquisitely painted
'cups and cans -and vases, which were
presented by some European potentate;
and side by side with them you will
notice horrible daubs, veritable 10-cent
chromos, picked up tho Lord knows how
and where. You will perceive glass
cases filled with huge heaps of rubies,
diamonds, emeralds, sapphires, turquoises,
garnets, topazes, beryls, of all sizes and
kinds, cut and uncut; and check by jowl
with these your eyes will see cheap music
boxes, Jew’s harps and squeaky hand
organs.
The Shah must also be in a condition to
“ bull ” the market on pearls,for here is,
for instance, a big glass case, twenty
four inches long by eighteen inches wide
and high, that is more than half filled
with beautiful pearls (mostly from the
Persian Gulf fisheries) of all sizes and
degrees of loveliness. In a separate long
ense the orders and decorations of the
Shah, coming from nearly every country
in the world, are kept on exhibition; but
the crown jewels are in a little box that
is always locked and for which the Shah
himself forever, waking or sleeping,
•arries the keys. The contents of this box
and of the several vaults where he keep*
his piles on piles of bright, shining, un
used money, he never allows others to
view, although the museum may be
visited once a year by the European
diplomatists and the friends that they
vouch for.— Conmopolitan.
The Life of a Crystal.
M e generally think of minerals as dead
lumps of inactive matter. But they may
be said to be alive, creatures of vital
pulsations and separated into individuals
as distinct os the pines in the forest or
the tigers in a jungle. The disposition
of crystals are as diverse as those of ani
mals. They throb with unseen currents
of energy. They grow in size as long as
they have opportunity. They can be
killed, too, though not as easily os an
oak or a dog. A strong electric shock
discharged through a crystal will de
compose it very rapidly if it is of soft
structure, causing the particle i togradu
ually disintegrate in the reverse order
from its growth until the poor thing lies
i dead, shapeless ruin. It is true, the
crystal's life is unlike that of higher
creatures. But the difference between
vegetable and animal life is no greater
than that between mineral and vegetable
life. Linnauis, the great Swedish na
turalist, defined the three kingdoms by
saying: “Btones grow, plants grow and
feel, animals grow and feel and move.”

Turkish Contempt for Foreigners.
I confess that this contempt of ths
Franks, which the Turks do not disguise,
gave me much pleasure. At Constanti
nople, or at least in Ftamhoul, you feel
that you. a Frank, do not exist in the
eyes of tho Turk. You may wear the
largest check suit thut a London tailor
can produce, and yet the Turk will pass
without deigning even to look at you.
At the public fountains ho will go
through all his religious ablutions in
your presence as if you were miles away.
He will spread out his carpet, turn bis
face toward Mecca and say his prayers
while you arc looking on; and so mean
arc you in his estimation that he igDores
you. — Atlantic Monthly.
WISE WORDS.
Meddling rarely accomplishes anything
except mischief.
Happiness is a wayside flower growing
by the highway of usefulness.
Zeal without judgment, is like gun
powder in the hands of a child.
There is nothing so adorable as hero
ism. And there is no heroism com
parable to the determination to speak
the truth.
Lost wealth may be replaced by indus
try, lost knowledge by study, lost health
by temperance or medicine, but lost time
is gone forever.
Finding out about what one sees is the
best way of getting an education. The
trouble with the most of us is that we
accept what wo see without inquiry or
knowledge.
“Man is only that which he knows and
knows only that which he is,” and if
I each day is mads to leave behind it some
finer pose of body, some new gem of
thought or knowledge, some loftier aim
of spirit, age can be nothing less than a
beautiful grace.
t There is nothing so delightful as the
hearing or speaking of truth. For this
reason there is no conversation so agree
able as that of the man of integrity, who
hears without any intention to betray,
and speaks without any intention to
deceive.— Plato.

The Correct Time.
There are very few man who do not pride
themselves on always having the cornict time;
and wonderful and delicate raechaniums are
devised to enable them to do so. But the
more delicate a chronometer is made, the
more subject it becomes to derangement, and
unless it be kept always perfectly clean, it
soon looses its usefulness What wonder,
then, that the human machine —so much
more delicate and intricate than any work
of Man—should require to lm kept t horoughly
cleansed. The liver is the main-spring of
this complex structure, and on the impuii
ties left in the blood by a disordered liver, .
depend most of the ills that flesh is heir to. i
Even consumption (which is lung-scrofula), j
is traceable to the imperfect uction of this or-
San. Kidney diseases, skin diseases, sick
eadache, heart disease, dropsj', and a long
catalogue of gravo maladies have their origin
in a torpid, «r sluggish liver. Dr, Pierce’s
Golden Medical Discovery, by establishing a
healthy, normal action of the liver, acts as a
cure and preventive of these diseases.
Mrs. J. Jav Buck. President of Emporia
(Kan.) W. C. T. U, has for .years supported
a scholarship in tho Episcopal College for
