llnthe treasury here one laj- r-c'ntly
tVe (juestiin came up as to tho
weight of a dollar hill. Scales of iht
.Vct accuracy were hroitfrlit into reiuis
iti ti, ami tin- .surprising dise..vpry was
inj-de that twenty-seven vn-dollar
utiles wcio-h'! exactly as much as a
twenty-dollar jrohl piece. Tl.e latter
jntt? halances .".40 Trains. Ihiwever,

and new. Ttial made with toiled
notes, such as come in every .(lay for
rethimption, sh.vcd that twent-i-even
of tlit-ni weio-lred eonsiderahl more
than the twenty-dollar coin. Every
paptv dollar on its way thronti the
worlj oontinually nccnmulates dirt. so
that.t'.fter a yeartf use it is perc.-itihly
heavier.
The. actual veiji t of paper money
which the treasury sends hy earpress
every year to all parts of the country
is in li.e ar.r;rrcp:ate enormous. Since
July 1 .it has dispatched SoH.IIOilliiii,
nearly :ull of it in small notes, tn die
south aj.tl west for tl-e purpose of mov
inr the ttrops. The hanks lend this
this casii ,to the farirr-rs on whatevor
they jrrow, and thus.. he products .f

Sp.-akir.o- of the redejnpt ion of pape-r
money, a very novel and interestintr a jv
plication tv is made tin? other day to
the divisiafx. of the treastiry which lias
this business in Jiand. TJie story, as it
came out, was as follows:
An ingenious youth emiployed to
sweep out a "New York hank devoted
attention f or xi. considerahie period to
iratherino; up iie erumhs frtun the tills
lin the shape of corners and .oti."r bits
.f not.'S such as pet torn off ana fall
febout in any place v.-here d.jllars are
ceuntod. In tl. course of time he crot
together a quarj!Lity of scraps of the
sort sutlici.'iit to Jill a pint measure,
an.j he sent them on to the redv-juption
human at Washinjr.ton in a liox. with
the e-xplanation that they had Iwen
eaten, hy mice, lie stated the am unit
at S-'Oc. and asked f.r new hills in e.v
ehani;.. His little crame was Ix'traj ed
on the fice of it by tJV" fact that the
pietres fcrwanled reprt-stnted. if any
thinv;. nvt less than jsi.oi'O. The usuaj
atlidavit was deinan.hvl from him,
sw earinp: t his loss; but he had not
thought of that rep.iircinMit and lacked
1 lie nerve to o-jve it, luckjlv for him
self. I'ndouhtedlr tho redemption division
Ves soinetinu-i g-.-t swindled, thouf-h
nvt oi't.-n. The women exjirrts em
p5yed to eNaiuirv the liitnicy isi-nt in
are wonderfully skillful. It is marvel
ous Low deftly they will poke er a
few ejiiirred frnirtrteiits of notes flnd
set an accurate valuation uihui th-m.
The otlwr day a pr woman in Ohio
sent .1 w corner of a Ai') hill, with a

A few days as.'o an old e!orol man

li-i'lit t" the treasury an .-t inordi

tlvat it a-js a lot of silver dollars,

Iki.v. I if- found that Iricklinjr water ha 1
rnstcii it almost away- covei-iii;r the
et.ins with oxide of iren and stiekino;
them together in a iviirss. Assistant
Treusurer Whelpley hal the lump put
irit. acid and tivate.l with lye. 'm I sa'.v-diit-t,
so that the silver pieces came out
a pret ty and bright jis when they were
minted, and the old iti;m carried them
a-way d'lig!itf ;l.
:ie day t!iis week a . note on the
'tiT.tional buik of llhoh Island at
New p. rt ciitn.- in fi-.r redeni pi ion. On
11 he face it l. iked finiti" new, but the
'Vack was washed erfeetly clean, so
'that not a mark :c left 01 it. The
joke of it is that the bureau of engrav
ing a lopted the litrvvn back for such
bills 011 the ground that it could not b."
washed off, as tlto green back can b.r.
It was int.-nded in this way b prevent
counterfeiters fr :n procuring treasury
paper by rendering notes of small de
nominations blar.k with acids an 1 print
ing big ones on Jbelll. J ins is the tirsl
time that con tide nee in the in lelil.ility
of the brown ink has been disturhvd.
Even tlie seal n the front, which is
done in the sane ink, has entirely dis
appeared in the bill descrilH'd. Whether
the thing was done for a jest or by ac
cident the authorities do iot pretend to
say.
The new desiign-t soon to le made
for the entire series of silver certifi
cates except the one for two dollars al
ready completed will furnish a big i.b
to the bureau of engraving. Only the
Kicks are t. lie changed, but the
making of a shigle one of th-se m.noy
plates, with all the b-tterinj and geo
metric lathe s-ork involved, is a for
midable task. It is not on this ac
count that Chief Enirraver t'asilear
thinks the proposed alt Tat ion un
wise. His opinion is that it is a mistake
to change the appearance of currency
more often than is absolutely neces
sary. The people do not readily accept
paper cash tlrait has a strange look.
To illustrate this Mr. CaUlearr
told how- Ve happened to be in
New York at -fine time during the war
looking out f,.r a gang of counterfeit
ers. To avoid making his presence in
the city- conspicuous he put ur at a
second-rate hotel where he was -unknown.
For omc purpose, h e handed
to the clerk it the desk a brand-new
fifty-cent note.: It was an issue just out,
withOen. Spinner's portrait on it, tlic
likeness having been substituted for 11
picture of Justice with her scales,
which the forjrt-rs had imitated very
suecessfull v.
The clerk locked at the note with
evident suspicion, and handed it hack.
"1 never saw anything like that le
fore," he said.
"It is good. n. assure you," replied
Mr. Casilear.
"I don't Wlieve it," said the clerk.
"Very well," -rejoined Mr. Casilear.
'Tt doesn't matter, though I kuow it is
rgood. lx-caiiso I made it myself."
The clerk smiled sardonically.
"That is just what tveured to roe,"
'he said. "Thertore I refused to ac
cept it."
Mr. Casilear feVtt that the joke was
on himself, so he treated himself to a
bottle of soda-water at the bar and left
for Washington that evening. Wash

"Xfw-. don't go. Wilson. Jih-ase ilnn'L
You know how min-'i 1 have done for

' ( ill, you've done enough," returned

he stumjHNil on the kitchen lb Mir as he f
said it. "I dou't want to be 5. farmer. J

glanced at his mother's face.
"You may not dive to see me eve

mother and turned from her sorrow f.n!
face to more ; tt:-active scenes. Mrs.
Stuart went a!odt her work tiiat fore
noon with iiiiuv a sigh. Her heail
was very heary, and at times the
sealding tears iiowed in spite of ber
eiTorts to restrain them, and she con'd
not work. At dinner she broke down
entirely, and as soon as the other liiul
lcgHn eating, b.ft the room.
"I s'pose Wilson's lieeti talkin' iibrnit
lein engineer again, has he?'' asked
Mr. Stunrt. li-.If an hour 1 iter.
"It's more tbsui talk this tune, father,

"No, father, lie's gone. Didn't he see
you Ik' fore he Jeff? oh dear! I lixe.l
his clothes, but he wouldn't take any
thing hardly." ami then the poor woman
broke out a.'resL.
'Well, well." said Stuart, testily, "i?
that's the way lie's goin" to act after
all's l-een done for him. let him go."
lie wanted to say more, but, out of defer
ence to his wife's feelings, restrainej
himself. "He'll lie back in the morniii'.
though, you'll siu..,' and he went to his
work.
That was a 'iong afternoon at th
farm. The next day came, and the
next, and ilratrged their weary hours
away, and Mr. Stuart was obliged to
give it up. I lis ltoywas gone.
Three days later two men walked leis
.nrely along the streets of a large city.
They were just leaving one of the great
.railway centers, and were talking earn
estly. One of thoin. of massive build,
.bright, piercing eves and resolute man
ner, apiiearcd to lead the conversation.
-'1'cs," he said, "it" lucky for 3-011 that

luive found out much in the shops nur
rtMind houses, and like as not wouldn't
liave lieen seen at all in tho ollices."
"J'.m ever so much obliged to j"ou for
yonr kindness in going with me." re
plied the other. "I shell never forget
the ii.t crest you have Lil&cn in me, and
the freedom with which you answered
my tjtw-stioiis. and showed me the en
t,nnes. and even a. lowed mo to ride a
short distance with yott oa j-our "Old

see Mr. Kothermcll right now," and
the speaker faced about and stood look
ing at the shops anil oflices from which
they had conn-, and listened to the
ringing of liells and the screaming of
whistles in the distance. He was fas
cinated with the scene leforo him, and
proud of the opportunity which tiie
friendship of his companion had afFord
.d to inspect in detail the works upon
which he looked. So frank had been
the manner of his new friend during
the past thirty-six hours which they
had been together, and so entertain
ingly had he recited to him many of
his experiences on the road, in addition
to the readiness with which he showed
him the company's works and intro
duced him to the men, that the young
man's eonlidcuee was completely won.
"It will be all right, though, I am sure,
from what you say." he went ou, "and
I can go ou with you as s'm as there
is a vacancy. I hope that won't be
long, for" I'm on expenses and must
Iind some oilier work until then;" and
he turned to follow his friend who led
the way into a small park where the
two were soon seateiL The older man
seemed thoughtful awhile and then
turning resolutely to the other asked:
"What business did ye foller, Mr.
Stuart, when ye w as at home?"
The young man colored as he an
swered, reluctantly: "I was not en
paged in business. I I wasona farm.
"So? Is yer father a farmer?"
"Yes, sir.'"
"Own a farm, does lie?"
Yes Mr."
"A pood one?"
.Well, f don't know of many tiiat
arc bettor."'
"How many children does he have?''
"Three."
"You're the. oldest?"
"No. sir. I have a married sister
older than myself, and a little brother."
"Ye"ll "s.-usc mi- ;is',;iii s. much. Mr.
Stuart, when ye rcne-mber that 1 ve
Im'cii auswerin" yor questions for two

" Hi. certainly."
"How much of a farm docs yor father

"A hun-lre i ar.d li f t v acres."
"Takes lot .f interest in the fi.riu.
don't the old gentleman?'"
Well. I sin. ul I say." I
'Works hard airly and late?"'
"Y'es. sir, but not like he did before
he made the list payment. Still he
works hard enough."
"Does yor brother-in-law live n the
farm?"
"He lives on a little plat-..' adjoining,
and work's part of the l;:ri:i."
Is there land enough for all veto

"Well, nearly. Plenty to rout,

Among the tacit misconceptions into
which distant critics are most likely to
fall about antipodean affairs is that
which is based upon ipuon noe of the
enormous area and 'visibilities of tlie

EsjK-cially is this likely in the Tinted

that, as tho i pi:lat i tii of Australia is
