A million dollars a dav. This ia the
amount that Uncle Sam makes away
with. Every piece of money which
becomes too dirty or too dilapidated
for use may be presented to the United
Stales Srcasury for redemption. Each
day there is snt from the different
banks throughout the country fully a
million dollars worth of this soiled or
torn paper. Every bundle or money
received ia turned over to an expert,
who, after carefully counting and in
specting the notes to see that no coun
terfeits are among them, places them
together in small packages, and marks
on the wrapper the amount contained
in each bundle. Tbey are then passed
under a machine which punches a
bole in each corner of every package,
and cuts into halves, lengthwise; one-
half is sent to one division, and the
remaining half to another, to be re
counted by two other people. All
count must tally.wUh each other be
fore the bills areeady for destruction.
The next move is to transport the
money to the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing, where it ia is reduced to pulp
by what ia called maceration. Into
an immense revojring cylinder con
taining several disintegrating chemi
cals, the bills are thrown. Tne pulp
thus produced is pressed into sheet.
which strongly resembles white card
board. This substance, which is used
for various purposes, such as news
paper, writing paper, and souvenirs, is
sold by the government for about $10
a ton, the money received paying the
entire expenses of maceration.
The only kind of money not des
troyed at the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing is that issued by national
banks. These notes are not taken
charge of by those having the care of
bank currency. Every afternoon these

Norfolk. Va-, July 6. It is asserted
to-nitrht that the Camp Manufacturing
Company, lumber manufacturers of
Franklin. Va.. have bought the famous
Dismal Swamp. This great swamp lies
half in North Carolina and half in
Vireinia. Through it a canal known
as the Dismal Swamp Canal has been
due at enormous cost. One end of the
canal is near Norfolk, and the other ia
on the North Carolina Sound. In the
mud underlying the waters of the great
swamp are tnonsanas oi ceuar uees,

We are having some little excitement

for breaking rocks was suspended on

There is something radically "wrong
with the treatment of witnesses and
jurors in the courts of North Carolina.
A iuror or witness is called from his
work to attend court, and must attend
or take the consequences, and but few
care to do that. He may or may not
have ready cash at hand to meet
necessary food and bed bills while in
attendance upon court, but he must
go just the same. For his services" he
ia only promised a su.ii sufficient to
keep him at the lowest priced lodging
and eating house. When discharged
from service he ia given a ticket that
he often finds it difficult to realize one
half its face value. He cannot afford
to skip his landlord's board bill, and
the remuneration is not sufficient to
meet the demads. hence he nnust lose
padlocks, and can be opened only by
the three officials who hold the keys.
Nothing less than two-fifths of a note
will be redeemed. To the bolder of
this fraction of a bill the government
will allow half of the original face value.
For three-fifihs of a note, full va'ue will
be given.
It occasionally happens that scraps
oT bill which have been almost entire
destroyed by fire, or otherwise, are
presented for redemption. So expert
are some of the treasury clerks in de
termining to what )cril note or kind
of note a scrap of money belongs, that
the owner of Uie damaged bills usually
receive some considerable part of their
face value. A majority of the govern
ment clerks are women, who are said
to be more honest and trustworthy
than men, besides having in a more
marked degree the delicacy of touch
required for the detection oflmd money.
"Some of these women are the most
expert and accurate counters and de
tectors in the world. Their sense of
touch is so highly educated that the
instant thev pass a bill through their
finger tbey know whether it w a gen
uine or a togus note. Many bills are
such clever imitations that they cir
culate through the country for a long
time tefose being presented at the
treasury, where they are almost invaria
bly detected.

onstrate scientiflcally the immortality
of the soul, and it ia from this that
Prof. Hyslop hat taken his cue and the
medium through whom he has made
his alleged discovery is a Mrs. 11 per,
of Boston, a woman who haa so much
astonished the experimenters of th
Psychical Society that they have re
tained her in their service by a special
contract Tor as many as fifteen years
past. His proof he expects to com
plete in tha course of a year, and when
he presents it he is confident that there
will succeed "such a wave of excite
ment as the world, has never seen be
fore." The Sun say that "Prof. Hys
lop suggests that his conclusions should
be confirmed by a methodical investi
gation, conducted by a board of dis
tinguished scientific men, and unques
tionably such a connrmauon will be
necessary, if his expectation of startling
the World with a thorough scientific
demonstration of immortality is ever
to l fulfilled."
Clearly this is but another phase of
spiritualism, but Prof. Hyslop's an
nouncement of bis findings cannot but
be awaited with serious interest, and
certainly no harm can come of bia in
vestigation. If he should indeed dem
onstrate scientifically, and beyond the
question or a doubt, th immortality
of the soul, he will have established the
truth of so much of Bible teaching and
strengthened by so much the Christian
religion. If he fails, it can only ta
said that spiritualism has before and
often been exposed, and that this ex
periment waa spiritualistic, and thus
no harm will have been done.
