BOW MONEY IS MADE. The Curious and Interesting History of a 4 Government Dollar. The fact that money is a subject of Universal interest probably accounts for the large number of visitors to the Bureau of Engraving and Printing at i Washington, where Uncle Sam prints : his promises to pay and the various I stamps required to be used on certain c articles. No stranger on a short visit c to the Capital will fail to visit this insti tntion and trace the history of a dollar, k from the time it is simply a sheet of t blank paper until he sees it bundled up with a lot of its fellows, ready to be sent to the bank and paid out 'through I the pigeon hole of the payin(r teller. The paper on which our Rational so eurities are printed is manufactured at present in New England. The owners I of the mills that make it are the pat- < entees of what is called the "localized I blue fiber," which runs through the right hand end of the' United States i lot es, and on the back of the bonds, etc. I The peculiar fiber is the great obs.3taclo to the counterfeiter. A Government of ficer receives the paper from the con tractor, counts it, and holds it until it is needed at Washington. Each papor making machine hasan autonmatic reg ister, by which the mill owners aceounit to the Government for every square inch of paper they make, and ~the key I of this machine is h1eld by a Govern- 1 ment officer who watchels the work. I The paper, after it is made, is sent to the Treasury Department at Washing ton, and from there the superintendent of the Bureau of Engraving and Print- I ing or(lers it ashe finds need. Hegives t a receipt for the number of sheets he takes, and the printer, who next re ceives this precious blank paper, gives b a receipt to the supeintendent. And a now the paper is ready to receive its ti first impression. ir The number of persons (employed in el the bureau at present is nine hundred, PI two-thirds of the number being women. a~ In the case of the ladies who are en- ri gaged in examining, counting, cutting hi the money and gumminr the stamps, 0 they are employed directiy by the Goy- 21 ernment. In the case of the printers it PI is different. Tihe printer, always a " man, is employed by the Government. vi and he hires such female help as lie l' needs. The printer is paiid by piece- C: work, and no matter howv little or how i much he earns, he must pay each of p his female help $1.23 a day. If lie is n sick and obliged to be absent from n business the pay of the girls goes on ti the same as though they wvorked at such n times. The department is divided into vari- ni ouis divisions, the building being four 11 or live stories high, the workers in each 11 division attending to only one of the v many different processes thiough which the bit of paper has to pass before it il comes out a crisp, full-fledged dollar. I The first impression given to the sheet a is the face of the bill, wit hout t-he red 1 stamp or seal. The pr' te'r has re-~ a ceived from six to ten thousand sheets t in the morning, for which, of course, l he gives a receipt. Should but one of ' the sheets be lost or spoiled the fact must be naported in the evening, and t the mnissing~ sheet must be0 founit or sat-i 1sf actorily accounted for before the i man can leave the building. And righti here it may be mentioned that no one is i allowed to leave the building until the close of working hours, and not then without a pass to show that the exami nation of the work of the day has been completed and everything has been found " regular." It has sometimes happened that an employe has been seized with sudden sickness and had to be taken home in the Government am bulance, but that rarely happens, and when it does p roper precautions are taken to see that the invalid has not taken any of Uncle Sam's paiper whether blank, or wholly or palrtly printe& The bills are generally printed four on a sheet. The presses are worked by hand and require the attendance of a printer and one or two girls. The im pressions are, of course, from steel plates, the man inking the p~late, wiping off the surplus ink, and the girls putting the sheet on the plate and removing it after the impression has been made. After the face of the bill has been print ed the sheets are taken to the dryino- roomi .where they remain two or three <aavs to be dried. Then they are taken to~ an other division, where a second printer prints the red seal upon each bill. Then it will be taken to another dlivision, cut I up, counted and put into the vaults, for then it is money. The signature on the 1 bill is p art of the regular impression from the plate. After th ered seal hast been printed on the face of the note, it is printed on the reverse side. Revenue stamps receive two impressions, but j lager beer stamps are mad e wi th one. The system otreceipts and cheeks upont carelessness and dishonesty is simply perfect. In order to swindle the Gov ernent in this direction there would have to be collusion through an almost interminable line of employes, begin ning with the men who make the paper i *and ending with the officer who receives < tepackages of bills to put thenm in the< Iauts. ~in fact, the sheets, whether 4 blank or partly or wholly printed, have to be receipted for by each and every m peron dhm~ah whose hands they pass. Te supro nden receipts for them < as he reosives them from the Treasury. the .paper olerk a. he receives them t from the u rintendent, the printer a t he receives tem from the paper clerk, i *aoh sayerintendent of ad dvision as he rceives th. .sheet partly printed from 1 460th pinte, and each sub-superintend-4 atsas hp receives them in turn from hi superior, and so on up to he time when the banks send in their for the dollars when Uncle Sam e ally parted with them never mere tesee them until they come back a anotlier branclh of the Treasury in s eha ntldand worn-out bills to o ~~~old furnace after being I~ As soon as a Wi bst tilted two hundred sheets seUds them to the division where the x4 pr9es is to be gone through with. tOre are four divisions in the building, T oh managed by a superintendent, and w the close of the day these superin ndents make their report in writing the chief of the bureau. The drying-room, where the sheets g e taken to be dried after receivin anti Ipression. is heated at a temperature 01 150 degrees. The sheets are wheeled 0' to the room on a sort of railroad M tick and put upon drying frames, and ere they remain long enough for them > get dry and crisp. When all ,i n apressions have been made theA i 'to the examining room where the omen examine them to see that there t ,e no defects in the work. After this e icy are pressed in a hydraulic press. r 'hen another set of men cut them; ( ien they tje counted and done up in I ackages ready to be sent to the vaults. e 'he examiners receive $1.75 a day. L'he ladies who count the notes do it C vith a facility that is simply marvelous. I )ld Mr. Test, the clever oklI gentleman ' who showed me around the place, 1 )ointed with pride to one lady in a 1 triped dross, who had been in the do. t )artment for a long time, and who E ,ould count at the rate of one hundred mid eighty notes a minute; that is three t a a se, ii 1. It is hardly probable that I here is a teller in any bank in the t ointry who can do this. If this lady i omints five dollar notes for six hours hiring a single day, two hundred and i eventy thousand~ dollars would pass t brough her hands. . The engravers occupyr the lower floor f the bilding, inid it is almost need- i ess to say that the highest talent is 1p)loyed in this department of the erviec. There are live ditl'erent styles f >f engraving on a bill-the writ:eni or Cril)t part, a peculiar kind of wvork lone on the end of the hill near the fig ire reopreseiting the deonmhinat ion, and vlich is doel by tn geo'iet rie latlie, he lettering, the vignette miil the 1)01 .rait.

Sir Walter'Seot~t was in the habit of employing in literary wvork a German studlent namedl Weber. Being an inter esting person, he became a favorite with Scott's household, and often dined with them. Sir Walter, knowing that Weber was inclined to (drink too freely, en couraged this intimacy, that he might keep him as noch as possible from temp tation. WVhen Sir Walter left Edinburgh at Christmas, 1813, the two parted kindly, and on the (lay after his return, Weber was with him in the library, as usual, makino extracts. As the light began to faiU Scott leaned hack in his chair andI was about to ring- for cand(les, wvhen, seeing the G;ermian looking at him with unusual solemnity, he asked what was the matter. " Mr. Scott," said Weber, rising, "you have long insultedl me, andl I can bear it no longer. I have brought a pair of pistols, atnd must insist on your taking one of theml instantlv;"' andl he producedl the weap'ons which hadl been placedt under his ch air, and laid one of them on Scott's paiper. ''You are mistaken. I think." said Scott, "'in your way of setting about this affair- but no matter. It can, how ever, be no part of your object to annoy Mrs. Scott and1( the childIren; therefore, if you please, we will put the pistols intlo the drawer till after dinner, and then arrange to go out together like gentlemen.'' Weber answered with the same cool ness: " I believe that will be better," and laid the second pistol on the table. Scott locked both in his drawer, say inig. "I am glad you have felt the propriety of my suggestion; let me only requiest furt her that nothing may Occur at dinner to give my wife any suspicion of what has been passing.'' Scott then went to his dressing--room and immeud'ately :;ent a miessagre to one of Weber'., intimate companmons, who came and took him away. He had been on a long walk through the Hiugh lands, duringt'which he had drank so heavily as to unsettlec his mind.

If aman has not instinctively got an eye for news and the faculty of getting it expeditious ly he may " polish the sidewalKs" for a lifetime and yet be no nearer the goal he started out to reach. The most re mnarkable thing, however, is the number of women who crowd into the profes sion of journalism by sheer persistency. Once a woman lays aside her natural reserve she becomes more pushing and irrepressible than a drummer, and thus many succeed in actually forcing them selves into positions. As a rule. they make good news-gatherers in certain de partments. A few of then are inter viewers, and as such they have sue ceeded better than most men. But equally, as a rule, women make bad news-writers. They are prolix, and the natural female Inclination for postscripts follows them throughout. Besides, they are generally awkward personages to have in an otlice. They are apt to be exacting and constantly claim privileges on the strength of the deferettce due a lady from a' gentleman.
