WASHINGTON LETTER. The Fumigation of Old Bills Precautions Ag-ainst Contagion Camphor Trees In This Country. IS;>. r ial Correspondence.] Speaking about the fumigation of old bills which arrive at the treasury department from the New Orleans subtreasury, Assistant Treasurer Meline said to me recently that this was absolutely necessary for the protection of the clerks who handle this old currency. “These clerks,” said Major Meline, “are constantly exposed to danger in their handling and counting of old currency. Sometimes the smell of these old bills is nauseating. I don't remember, however, a case where any clerk has ever teen attacked by a disease from the handling of this money. This may be due to the fact that every precaution is taken. Whenever money has come here from points infected by contagious diseases it has always been fumigated. The clerks frequently wash their hands with disinfecting soaps and take other precautions. I consider that they have been remarkably fortunate.” Found Upon the Dead. There have been cases at the treasury of money sent in for redemption in a terrible state. In several instances this money has been taken from the bodies of people found mysteriously murdered. The bodies lay for weeks or months without discovery until the clothing which contained the money would be alive with putrid matter. Money thus discovered is not handled by the authorities, but rushed to the treasury for redemption. It is sometimes in such condition that the odor is almost unbearable. This is only one of many instances of a similar nature. Dogs and goats which swallow money are often killed, dissected and the remnants of the money sent to the treasury for redemption. The department of agriculture has issued a very readable pamphlet concerning the camphor tree and its cultivation for profit in the United States. The tree is a broad leaved evergreen and is related to the red bay and to the sassafras of this country. In its native habitat, eastern Asia, Formosa and southern Japan, it attains a height of from 60 to 100 feet and has a trunk 20 to 40 inches in diameter. Its Range Under Cultivation. Notwithstanding the comparatively narrow limits of its natural environment, the camphor tree grows well in cultivation under widely different conditions. It has become abundantly naturalized in Madagascar. It flourishes at Buenos Ayres. It thrives in Egypt, in the Canary islands, iu southeastern France and in the San Joaquin valley in California, where the summers are hot and dry. Large trees, at least 200 years old, are growing in the temple courts at Tokyo, where they are subject to a winter of 70 to 80 nights of frost, with an occasional minimum temperature as low as 12 to 16 degrees F. The most northern localities in the United States where the camphor tree has been grown successfully out of doors are Charleston and Summerville, in South Carolina, Augusta, Ga., and Oakland, Cal. At Charleston, Summerville and Augusta the trees have withstood a minimum temperature of 15 degrees F., but they have been protected by surrounding trees and buildings. At Mobile the trees have grown and fruited in protected situations, while in exposed places they have been repeatedly destroyed by frosts. While the camphor tree will grow on almost any soil that is not too wet, it does best on a well drained, sandy or loamy soil, and it responds remarkably well to tho application of fertilizers. Its growth is comparatively slow on sterile soils, but under favorable conditions it sometimes grows very rapidly. An instance is recorded of a camphor tree in Italy a foot in diameter and 90 feet high, 8 years from the seed. Under ordinary conditions, however, such a girth is not often attained in less than 25 years, and such a height is rarely attained in a century. A tree planted at New Orleans in 1883 is now 40 feet in height. Uses of the Tree and Its Products. The principal commercial uses of the camphor tree are for the production of camphor gum and camphor oil. Camphor gum is employed extensively in medicine. It enters into the composition of many kinds of liniments for external application. For liniment it is used especially in combination with olive oil. It is taken internally for hysteria, nervousness, nervous headaches, diarrhea and diseases affecting the alimentary canal. It is specific in cases of typhoid fever and cholera. Camphor fumes have also been used with success in cases of <tA lima. In the native forests camphor is obtained almost exclusively from the wood of the trunks and the larger roots and branches. These are first chopped into small pieces and sometimes pounded or bruised to facilitate distillation. The work is performed by hand labor and the processes in use seem rather crude. In some parts of Formosa a layer only about an inch thick is cut from the larger roots and from part of the trunk, the object being to obtain the best camphor bearing wood without killing the tree. Trees thus treated often die. Where trees are cut down the best parts of the trunks are sometimes saved for lumber. From 20 to 50 pounds of chips are required for one pound of crude gum. Trees 50 years old in Formosa yield an average of about 133 pounds of crude gum. Many different forms of stills and different methods of distillation are employed in different districts, but all result iu a separation of the gum from the wood by means of steam or hot water. The trees will endure severe pruning with little apparent injury. One-third of the leaves and young shoots may be removed at one time without materially checking the growth of the tree. When the camphor tree is killed nearly to the ground by frost, it sends up vigorous shoots. Carl Schofield.

WOMAN AND FASHION. Furs and Fur Trimmed Garments—The Gentlewoman Farmer Empire Hand Mirror- Brief Mention. Judging from the exhibitions at leading furriers’, sable leads in furs.

Furs are also / hi \ KUH TRIMMED CLOTH DRESS. being made up in various combinations in which lace, embroidery, velvet and brocade play The most conspicuous garment is the Russian coat, with its pouched waist held in place by means of a gorgeous belt. Fur trimmed garments are to be popular. House gowns, even, will be trimmed with fur later on. Fur capes come in various lengths. Some are very short, with a deep collar and perhaps a frill of lace. Very jaunty are the short jackets and fur blouses. Sleeves are smaller, but not inconveniently so. There are many forms of fur neckwear. Boas and tippets made of fox and sable promise to bo very fashionable. Muffs are larger and more dressy than usual. Tailor gowns, which are in great vogue, will call for fur neckwear later in the season. There are little bands of sable or fox, fashioned like a collar, which are looked upon with favor. These are trimmed with clusters of tails, after last season’s fashion. A costume seen in olive green cloth and trimmed with mink furnished a pleasing instance in way of fur trimmed gowns. The Russian blouse coat in black caracule is without doubt one of the smartest garments of the season One seen was made with the fashionable amount of fullness all round and finish*

The short basques were cut out in a series of points all round, and the same idea repeated in the three points which form the epaulets as well as in the collar. Another fur wrap on exhibition was made in seal and had wing sleeves and a sable collar trimmed with tails. The Gentlewoman Farmer. Gentlemen farmers have been favorites in fiction and picturesque characters in real life for generations. The gentlewoman farmer is a newer species and is thus described in the New York Commercial Advertiser: She is neither as hospitable nor as exclusive as her masculine counterpart. She does not raise big vegetables, mammoth flowers or blooded stock for her own delight or the edification of her friends. She is extremely practical. The basis of all her arguments is necessity. She has gone into farming to earn a living, or even more than a living, and if she charges you 8 cents a quart for milk you can buy in town for f> cents she will politely but firmly tell you that her cows are of finer breed than those which supply milk for ordinary citymilk stores and that fresh cut clover costs more than bran and straw as fodder. You meekly admit the truth of thesi arguments, and when your bill is sent —on crested, cream tinted paper —you think of the aristocratic lineage of those cows and pay without a murmur. Empire Hand Mirror. A little mirror which folds into a handle, after the manner of a lorgnette, is known as the empire hand mirror and especially appeals to the matinee girl It can be carried without inconvenience in one’s pocket. There are, however, some gorgeous affairs made in gold or silver and enriched with jewels. These are worn on a chatelaine or depend from a long neck chain. Brief Mention. Mrs. Richard King of Texas, the cat tie queen of an enormous ranch, is one of the richest of American womai. A bureau of social requirements hat been opened in New York city. Its manager, a woman, undertakes to su ’ pervise social functions, keep household accounts, provide housekeepers, etc.
