HOW MONEY IS MADE.
The Cnrions and Interesting History of a
Government Dollar.
The fact that money is a subject of
universal interest probably accounts for
tne large number of visitors to the
Bureau of Engraving nnd Printing at
Washington, where Uncle Sum prints
his promises to pay ami the various
stamps required to be used on certain
articles. So atiunger on a short visit
to the Capital will Tail to visit this instl*
Uiliuii and trace the history of 41 dollar,
irom the turn it is simply a sheet of
blank papi»r until he secs it bundled up
with a lot of its fellows, ready to be
sent to the bank and paid out through
the pigeon hole of the paying teller.
The paper on which our National se
curities are printed is immu'aetured at
present in New England. The owners
of the mills that make it are the pat
entees of what is called the ‘’‘localized
blue fiber,” which runs through the
right hand end of the United States
notes, andon the back of the bonds, etc.
'The peculiar fiber is the great obstacle
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 paper
making machine has an automatic reg
ister, by which the mill owners account
to the Government for every square
inch of paper they make, and the key
of this machine is held by a Govern
ment oflicer who watches the work.
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
ing orders it as he finds need. He gives
a receipt for the number of sheets he
lakes, and the pi inter, who next re
ceives this precious blank paper, gives
a receipt to. the s superintendent. And
now the pitp’r'f Is readt 1 ' to receive its
first impression.
The number of persons employed in
the bureau at present is nine hundred,
two-thirds of the numlrr being women.
In the case of the ladies who are en
gaged in examining, counting, cutting
the money and gumming the stamps,
they lire employed directly by the Gov
epiment. In the ease of the printers it
is different. The printer, always a
man, is employed by the Government,
and he hires such female help as ho
needs. The printer is paid by piece
work, and yo matt,e( h">v little' or how
much he earns, he njust pay each of
his female help ?$1.28 a day. If he is
sick and obliged to be absent from
business the pay of the girls goes on
the same as though they worked at such
times.
The ilftpaidment is divided into vari
ous divisions, the building being four
or five stories high, the workers in each
division attending to only one of the
many different processes thtough which
the bit of paper has t<» pass before it
comes out a crisp, full-lied red dollar.
The first impression given to the sheet
is the face of the bill, without the red
• stamp or seal. The pr t r has re
ceived from six to ten th tusand sheets
in the morning, for wh ch, of course,
he gives a receipt. Should but one of
the sheets be lost or spoiled the fact
must be reported in the evening, and
the missing sheet must be found or sat
isfactorily accounted for before the
man can leave the building. And right
here it may be mentioned that no one is
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 proper precautions are
taken to see that the invalid has not
taken any of I n vie Sam’s paper—
whether blank, or wholly or partly
printed.
The bills are generally printed fouron
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 plate, wiping
oil 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 printed
the sheets are taken to the drying room
where they remain two or three days 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 division, cut
up, counted and put into the vaults, for
then it is money. The signature on the
bill is part of the regular impression
from the plate. After the red seal has
been printed on the face of the note, it
is printed on the reverse side. Kevenue
stamps receive two impressions, but
lager beer stamps are made with one.
The system of receipt s and cheeks upon
carelessness and dishonesty is simply
perfect. In order to swindle the Gov
ernment in this direction there would
have to be collusion through an almost
interminable line of employes, begin
ning w’ith the men who make the paper
and ending with the officer w ho receives
the packages of bills to pnt them in the
vaults. In fact, the sheets, whether
blank or partly or wholly printed, have
to be receipted for by each and every
k person through whose hands they pass.
1 I'he superintendent receipts tor them
“ as he receives them from the Treasure. I
the paper clerk as he receives them I
from the superintendent, the printer as
he receives them from the pApcr clerk,
each superintendent of a division as he
receives the sheet partly printed from
the printer, and each sub-superintend
ent as he receives them in turn from
his superior, and so on up to
the time when the banks send in their
receipts for the dollars when Uncle Sam
has finally parted with them never
more to see them, until they come back
to another branch of the Treasury in
the shape of old and worn-out bills to
be burnt up in the furnace after being
replaced by new ones. Indeed, this
system of receipts is so earnestly
spoken of by the pleasant gentleman
who shows you round the building,
that at the moment you leave the place
JoU almost expect him to return you a
receipt for your precious person ere you
are permitted to depart. As soon as A
printer has printed two hundred sheets
he sends them to the division where the
bUxt process is to be gone through with.
There are four divisions in the building.
each managed by a silperiiitendtent, ami
at the close of the day Ug‘se superin
tendents make their revert in writihg
to the chief of the bureau.
The drying-room, where the sheets
are taken to be dried after receiving an
impression, is heated at a temperature
of 150 degrees. The sheets are wheeled
into the room on a sort of railroad
truck nnd put upon drying frames, and
there they remain long enough sos them
to get dry and crisp. When all ‘b4
impressions have been made gt
into the examining room where tne
women examine them to see that there
are no defects in the work. After this
they are pressed in a hydraulic press.
'Then another set of men cut them;
then they are counted and done up in
packages ready to be sent to the vaults.
Die examiners receive $1.75 a day.
The ladies who count the notes do it
with a facility that is simply marvelous.
()l<i Mr. Test, the clever old gentleman
who showed me around tne place,
pointed with pride to one lady in a
striped dre-s, who had been in the de
partment for a long time, and who
could count al the rate of one hundred
and eighty notes a minute; that is three
In f? ai. It is hardly probable that
there is a teller in any bank in the
country who can do this. If this lady
counts live dollar notes for six hours
during a single day* two huri Ired and
seventy thousand dollars would pass
through her hands.
The engravers occupy the lower floor
<»f the building, and it is almost need
less to say Hutt the highest talent is
employed in this department of the
service. There are live different styles
of engraving on a bill—the written or
script part, a peculiar kind of work
done on the eml of the bill near the fig
ure representing the denomination, and
which is done by the geometric lathe,
the lettering, the vignette and the por
trait. Each of these styles of work are
done by a single man, so that one man,
no matter how long he may be in the
B‘rvice, can never engrave a bill in its
entirety. It is a somewhat annoying
confession to make, however, that there
are two men in the country, counter
feiters, whose ability as engravers is so
great that they are able to make all
parts of a bill. On the other hand, it
may be said that the engraving on the
United States notes and securities has
long been acknowledged to be the best
in the world, and has Deen awarded such
by foreign Expositions and the Centen
nial b air recently held in our own coun
try. The engravers receive from $6 to
$8 a day.
The vaults in the basement of the
building where the money is deposited
after it is made arc huge compartments,
the entrance being through an immense
iron door, seemingly large and strong
enough to defy the united efforts of a
party of giants. The door is worked by
a combination lock, so arranged that ft
requires throe men to work it. They
i have charge of the plates on which the
engravers and printers arc at, work dur
| ing the day. Each afternoon these
plates must be returned before four
o'clock. In a glass case near these
vaults may be seen the swords of the
rebel Major-General Twigg, which were
captured by General Butler during the
late war. There are three of them, all
presents in consideration of h's bravery
in the Mexican war in 1816. One is
worth $5,000, another SIO,OOO, and the
third $20,000 the last being largely
made of gold and set with precious
'ones. The heirs of General Twigg are
now making efforts to have the Govern
ment restore this property to them, and
it is generally supposed that the eflort
will be successful.
There is now being tried in this build
ing a new patent process for printing
United States securities. It is called
alter the inventor, “ Mulligan’s Patent
Plate Process." The presses which
are run by hand in the upper part of
the building, and to which allusion has
been made, do not get through the
w ork very fast. The new press is run
by steam, and all the necessary opera
tions but one are done by machinery
instead of by hand, the printer remain
ing at one point of the machine and be
ing only required to rub off the surplus
ink with his hands. Os course a great
deal more work is done by this method,
but work is accumulating so fast on the
Government that some labor-saving
method, it is claimed, is getting to be
a necessity. The inventor worked the
machine a year and a half for the Gov
ernment before the officials were satis
fied to give it a trial. Then the Govern
ment built five presea as a commence
ment, and now they are talking of
building more. Washington Letter.

A Few Simple Recipes.
The Small Boy—Take equal parts of
noise, dirt and four horse-power steam
engine; mix with bread and butter to
the taste (the boy’s taste), and set the
mixture to cool in the middle of a ten
acre lot. If you find you have put in
too much noise (which you undoubtedly
save), turn over and knead with the
hand or split shingle
The Saleslady— This Is a very easy
dish. All that is required is a little
giggle, brass to season, and a garnish
ing of frizzles, bangs and cheap jewel
ry. Mix in an empty skull and serve.
The Politician—Tact, one part; two
eyes for the main chance; one tongue,
well oiled, and as much cheek as possi
ble. If you have a little brain handy,
it may be added sparingly; bttt it does
not matter much, ami most housekeep
ers consider any use of brain in th.3
connection as extravagant. Bake in a
slow oven, so that it need not be done
brown. If it be more than half-baked it
is ruined.
The Poet —To make a poet, take lib
erally of shimmering sunshine, strain
through a rhyming dictionary, and add
equal parts of lovesick adjectives,
archaic adverbs and such other words
as you may never have heard of. Set in
a warm place, where the whole may be
come intimately mingled, and garnish
with long hair, sttedy clothing and art
empty stomach.
The Author—Take such facts as you
have in the house and mix with twenty
gallons of gush ami twaddle for each
fact, ami boil down one-hrtlf. I hen add
of classical allusions, threadbare stories
and übiquitous anecdotes ten parts each,
and serve in a greasy coat and bald
head. Some pre'er to send to the table
in curlpapers, triced with hair-pins; but
in this case the sauce must no' be for
gotten, and a little politico-poetic tran
scendentalism Is also a great improve-*
ment.
A Kiss—This is composed of equal
parts of honey, sugar, ice cream, soda
with four kinds of sirup, love in a cot
tage and supernal bliss. It can be made
in the dark just as well as in the light.
Bake in an elliptical dish, and serve
warm.’
Charity—This is usually served cold.
When warm it is very apt to spoil, and
must therefore be used at home. Take
<n« part heart and one hundred parts
talk, and stir together until the lieart is
dissolved, and add sufficient policy and
worldly wisdom to give it a flavor.
Charity made by this recipe will keep a
longtime in any climate.— Bouton Tran

An Instance of Self-Control,
Sir Walter Scott was in the habit of
employingin literary work a German
student named 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 much as possible from
temptation.
When Sir Walter left Edinburgh at
Christmas, 1813, the two parted kindly,
and on the day after his return, Weber
was with him in the library, as usual,
making extracts. As the light began
to fail, Scott leaned back in his chair
and was about to ring for candles, when,
seeing the German looking at him with
unusual solemnity, he asked what was
the matter.
“Mr. Scott,” said Weber, rising,
“you have long insulted me, and 1 can
bear it no longer. 1 have brought a
pair of pistols, and must insist on your
taking one of them instantly;” and he
produced the weapons which had been
placed under his chair, and laid one of
them on Scott’s paper.
“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 obje t to annoy
Mrs. Scott and the children; therefore,
if you please, we will put the pistols
into 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
ing: “I am glad you have felt the
propriety of my suggestion; let me only
request further 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 immediately sent a message to one
of Weber's intimate companions, who
came and took him away. He had
been on a long walk through the High
lands, during which he had drank "so
heavily as to unsettle his mind. He
became a hopeless lunatic, and till his
death was supported at Scott's expense
in an asylum at York. But for the
great novelist’s self-control, there would
have been a murder in that quiet
library.— Youth's Companion.
A Hazardous Undertaking.
At the mill of Palmer Brothers,
Palmerstown, Conn., the other dav, an
attempt was made to put belling on a
large wheel, fourteen feet in diameter,
and in order to get the belt in position
several of the employes got on the
spokes of the wheel to' turn it. It was
found impossible to get power enough
in this way, and accord nglv the eng.ne
was started before it was noticed that
one of the hands was still on the wheel.
His perilous position was ipi ekly per
ceived an 1 a scene of the greatest ex
c.tement ensued. Ihe unfortunate man
owes his life to the presence of mind
which he displayed. Had he attempted
to jump from the wheel his death would
haie been inevitable, but he clung to
one of the spokes with both bands and
feet as the revolut ons of the great
wheel, with its sweep of fifty feet, car
ried him first to the ceiling and then to
the basement of the mill. The great
difficulty was in stopping the engine so
that the wheel would be n a position
which would allow him to extricate him
self, but tins was accomplished after
quite a number of trials.— Hur'ford

Erasmus Darwin’s First Love.
About the year 1760 there came to the
town of Derby, in England, a young
physician, who rented an office and be
gan the practice of his pro ession.
Young and careless physicians were no
rarity in the town at that time, but Dr.
Erasmus Darwin was a rare man. At
Elton, in Nottinghamshire, he had been
born in 17.31, a poor man’s son, and
without gentle blood in his veins. Alter
studying at St. John’s College, Cam
bridge, for a time, his means failed him,
and he went to the less aristocratic uni
versity at Edinburgh, there to pursue
medical studies, and there to graduate.
From college he had gone to the little
town of Litchfield, where for several
years he had a large practice. Alter
a time Litchfield became too con
tracted a field, and he went to
Derby, where there was a better
opportunity for development. Enter
prising and ambitious, he soon had many
friends in town, and among them a
lucrative professional business. It was
not unnatural that in course of time he
should come to love. Among the lady
friends whose society he frequented was
the daughter of a farmer, an artless and
modest country maiden, as fair and
fresh as the daisies in her father’s
fields. Young Mr. Darwin loved the
girl, and his affection was reciprocated.
Sina Chaffee put her whole soul into
that love, but like many another maid
en loved too strongly. There were de
lays in the advent of the promise I wed
ding day, unavoidable delays, no doubt,
but Darwin's love grew cold. Another
ami wealthier lady had gained his half
given affections, and the farmer girl
awoke from her fond dream to find'her
knight was faithless. The blow was
too severe, and she was glad to remove
from the scene of her disappointment to
America.
Ihe ( bailees settled in a Massachu
setts town, and became well-to-do farm
ers. Other young men sought the pret
ty Sina’s hand, but to each offer she
turned a deaf ear. The years went bv,
and when the lady’s youth had pa-sed,
Amasa Converse, Jr.', a-ked her to be
his wife. He was a pros; erous Windsor
farmer, not such a gay beau as had been
Dr. Darwin, but still a very popular
man. Miss Chaffee's aeceptaiiee of his
oiler came reluctantly, but at length
Amasa brought her to his father's lunne
as his wife. Mrs. Converse never had
cause to repent her choice. She did
not. however, forget her lir t love, and
with a far-away respect for him she
gave her son his name. Erasmus Dar
win Converse is living to-day in Cum
mirmton. an old, gra 1 -haired man. In
the vV indsor Cemetery the June roses
are budding above the grave of Sina
Converse, who died many years ago,
hearing in her old age of her early lov
er’s fame as a botanist and scholar, of
his earnest advocacy of temperance,
perhaps of the birth of his son. who in
later years was to be the father of
< harles Darwin, the great naturalist.
Long ago her romance failed, ami she
who would have been the wife of a great
man lies in a Berkshire rural cemetery
in the well-earned repose of a farmer s
wife.— Bcrks.'iiri Count ij (A/ass.) Eagle.
