BANK NOTE PAPER.

How It Is Made at the Dalton (Mess.) Government Mill. [From the Boston Herald.] Excepting the mechanical, material and productive features, which are superintended by Murray Crane, this mill is under the control of the Treasury department. The various orders posted around it all bear the signature of the Secretary of the Treasury. The establishment even has a small array of treasury girls employed in it—some eighteen or twenty in number—who come from all sections of the country. They earn about $3 per day, and some of them live in the neighboring town of Pittsfield and drive to and from their work during this charming season of the year. The duties of these girls are, not only to count the sheets, but to examine each one closely and reject all imperfect ones. The other Government employes consist of one Superintendent, a Captain of the Watch, four watchmen, one register man and one laborer. The position of the register man is all important. An automatic register at the end of the machine registers every sheet as it is cut off and laid down. He takes them away in even hundreds, and then they are immediately counted in the drying-room. In all the various processes of finishing, which follow up to the moment of shipment, every sheet is counted. More than all this, they are again counted upon their receipt at the Treasury department in Washington.- If, by any cause whatever, any one of these various counts fails to correspond with the original automatic count on the machine on which the paper was made, there is a lively search for the missing sheet. Something of an idea of the fidelity with which the paper is guarded may be imagined when it is stated that while the average daily product is sufficient to make 500,000 bank bills, yet not a single one has ever been lost during the five years since the contract was awarded to the Cranes. "But why should they be so particular about the loss of an insignificant sheet of paper?” will be asked. The explanation is a reasonable and easy one. The great protection of the Government against counterfeiting lies jn the paper here made, and on which all the bills, bonds, gold and silver certificates Mid everything of a security nature, are printed. The distinctive feature is the introduction of colored silk threads into the body of the paper while in the process of manufacture, in combination with a distributed fiber of many colors. The threads are red and blue in color, and the fiber is of various colors, as described, and they are introduced while the paper is in the pulp and carried along with it to the end of the machine, where it is delivered as actual paper. This simple contrivance is effectual against imitation, and has been more fatal than anything else to the professional counterfeiters. However skillful they may be in imitating the engraving of the bill, they cannot duplicate this peculiar, paper. For this reason, the rule is imperative that every sheet turned off-from th e-machine must be produced or its absence satisfactorily accounted for. The silk employed for the purpose is partly manufactured in Pittsfield and partly in Connecticut. When the sheets are finished there are a ceitain number of thousands packed in strong, iron-hooped boxes, which are transported under guard to the Adams express office in Pittsfield, and the express company then becomes res;;O bsiblo ior their delivery 7 to the Treasury department in Washington. There is a rather formidable looking armory on the main floor of the mill, and there would most likely be considerable ammunition spent on the Government side before any band of midnight raiders could make their escape with any of the coveted paper. The paper on which the new postal notes are printed is ajso manufactured at this mill, under the immediate supervision of Murray Crane.

Maj. Andre, the Hanged Spy.

On the 2d of Oct., 1780, Maj. John Andre, Aid-de-Camp to Sir Henry Clinton, and sometime Adjutant General of the British forces in North America, was “tried as a spy, condemned as a spy, and hanged as a spy, ” at Tappan, Rockland county, N. Y., some five miles from the north bank of the Hudson river. The circumstances attending his arrest and execution are familiar to all. It has been said of Andre that his fate might have been averted in two ways—by a steady resistance of Arnold’s senseless importunities to bring him within the American lines, and by a frank and immediate presentation of Arnold's pass when stopped by Paulding, Williams and Van Wart. His loss of selfpossession at that critical moment is remarkable; for, as Americans, they would in all human probability have suffered him to pass without further examination; and, had they been of the opposite party, they would certainly have conducted him to some British post, the very haven where he would be. In the autumn of 1821 Mr. James Buchanan,who was then British Consul in New York, requested permission to remove the remains of Andre to England, and this permission was granted. After uncovering the coffin the remains were exposed to view, and the skeleton -was found to be in perfect order. A peach tree, which had been planted at -the head of the grave, by a sympathetic woman, had sent its roots so far into the ground that they penetrated the frail coffin and completely enveloped the skull with their fibers. The remains were carefully transferred to a sarcophagus which had been prepared, -conveyed to England and buried in Westminster Abbey, where they repose beneath the sixth window-, in the south eisle. The monument is a figure of Britannia reclining on a sarcophagus, and the inscription on the pedestal arads: “Sacred to the memory of Maj. Andre, who, raised by his merit, at an early period of life, to the rank of Adjutant Genera! of the British forces in America, and, employed in an important but hazardous enterprise, fell a sacrifice to his zeal for his King and country, on the 2d-of October, 1780, aged 29, universally beloved and esteemed by the army in which he served, and lamented even by his foes.

His generous sovereign, King George III., has caused this monument to be erected.” Much as Andre’s fate may be lamented, that fate was none the less a just one, and in strict conformity with those laws which govern warfare.

Neglected.

An author’s own estimate of his work —and of the comparative value of his different performances —is almost never the best one, and is often curiously unreasonable. Milton always wondered why people did not rank “Paradise Regained” above “Paradise Lost,” as he did; and Sir Walter Scott would probably remained merely a poet, in his own chosen literary province, but for the fact that “Byron’s success drove him from the field.” The refusal of the public too like their poetry better than their prose has chagrined a good many able, but to ambitious writers, and disappointment has dashed the spice of flattery in more than one amusing instance.

Bayard Taylor never fully reconciled himself to the vocation of a prosewriter. He believed that the world should have demanded nothing of him but poetry. Concerning this he used to tell a good story at his own expense: During his last lecturing trip through the Western States he was the guest, in a small pity, of the Chairman of the lecture committee, a self-satisfied and prosperous citizen, who met Taylor at the train, and carried him home to his own finely-furnished house. While waiting for the evening repast, the wellfed chairman said, with manifest pride, that probably Mr. Taylor did not remember him. No, Mr. Taylor did not. “Why,” said the Chairman,“you were here in this town ten years ago this very month, and stopped with me, as you are stopping now. Mr. Taylor professed his interest in the important fact. The Chairman, glancing around on the chromos, the new carpets, and the glittering white walls of his home, said: “Yes, you see I have been prospering since then. Yes, the world has been a pretty good place for me. It has for you too, Mr. Taylor. I have watched your course ever since I got acquainted with you, ten years ago, and I suppose I am one of the few people who have read everything you have written.” “What!” said Taylor; “everything?” “Yes, sir; everything I could lay my hands on.” “Then,” said Taylor, “perhaps you will tell me what you think of my new poem, ‘Lars’?” “What!” said the man; “do you write poetry ?”— Harper’s “Drawer. ”

A Word to the Boys.

Ashamed of work, boys—good, hard, honest work? Then I am ashamed of you—ashamed that know so little about great men. Open your Roman history now, and read of Cincinnatus. On the day when they wanted to make him dictator, where did they find him ? In the field, plowing. What about Marcus Curtius, who drove Pyrrhus out of Italy ?' Look him up; you will find him busy on his little farm. The great Cato —you have surely heard of him; how he rose to all the honors of the Roman state. Yet, he was often seen at work in his field with the slaves. Scipio Africanus, who conquered Hannibal and won Carthage for Rome, was not ashamed to labor on his farm. Lucretia, one of the noblest of Roman matrons, might have been seen many a day spinning among her maidens. Better even than the example of noble Romans is the advice of the wise” man: “Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might." Better than this, even, are the beautiful New Testament word: “Not slothfulness in business, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord.” There! After this you will feel ashamed not to work.— Exchange.

Curious Tomb.

In the ancient burying ground at East Roxford, Mass., there is a curious tomb, which is visited by many people in the course of a year. It is the tomb of Gen. Solomon Low, who was buried in 1861, at the ago of 79 years. It was designed by himself, and has on either side of the entrance two handsome white marble grave stones, erected to the memory of his three wives, who are also interred here. On each stone are carved pictures of his wives. The first two are represented with their children" around them and infants in their arms. They are sitting in antique chairs with straight backs. The two Wives represented on the second stone are sitting in modern rocking chairs, beside a center table on which are books. The fourth wife is still living. When the adjacent ground was used for a muster field the tomb was always opened for one day, and the General’s regimentals were-exhibited there, in accordance with directions in his will. ,

How to Cure a Cold.

“I’ll cure any cold you ever heard of and with one of the simplest remedies you ever saw,” said a lady vocalist of considerable reputation on both sides of the Atlantic. “It’s oysters. I’ve sung fourteen years here in the old country, and you may imagine that the climate has often got the better of my lungs, but I rely upon oysters, and they can be depended on. My husband told me of this kind of medicine and I don’t know how many years he had used them. They act just as beneficial on my children —and the next time you have a cough go to the oyster bay instead of the drug store.” -Boston Globe.

Hog and Snake.

It is told that a rattlesnake lay coiled, with head up and rattles sounding notes of anger, while a hog walked around it with bristles erect. The snake finally struck at the hog and fixed its fangs in her jaw. She raised her head, and the snake was fastened to her. Instantly she caught the snake’s body in her mouth, put her forefeet on his tail and stripped the skin up. Renewing her foothold on the body of the snake, she took another puil and tore the snake in two, and then complacently set in to eating it. Dr. Bremer, in a german journal, advocates exercise in the high, fine air of the mountains as the best protection against the diseases contracted in city life;

FORTY BILLION GERMS.

A Wonderful Theory that Concerns the Welfare, Happiness, and life of Everyone. In his quiet and cosy library at the close of a busy day sat a gentleman and his wife, he absorbed in a new book and she in the newspaper. Quickly glancing toward her husband, she asked, at a certain point in the article. “John, what is the germ theory?’.’ “The germ theory—well—yes; just look in the encyclopedia under ‘Germ,’ that will explain.it so much better than I can.’’ Accordingly his wife opened the book at the word named and read: Germ Theory of Disease —A theory advanced by the ablest and best investigators and scientists of the times. It supposes the surface of the earth, the air and the water to be inhabited to a greater or less extent with a peculiar growth of the lowest form of fungi—commonly termed bacteria. whose power of reproduction, under favorable conditions, is so great that a single germ will increase to 15,000,000 in twentyfour hours’ time, and unchecked in its increase would grow to a mass of 800 tons, in three days’ time, if space and food be furnished. There is no condition under which it can be said to be absent, unless it be from fire or air flittered through cotton-batting in numerous layers. A single drop of water containing a germ, put into water boiled, filttered and thus freed from bacteria, will grow murky in a day or two from the development of new germs. When it is considered that- it requires about. 40,000,000,000 to weigh one grain, some remote idea can be had of —the capacity of germ reproduction. Prof. John Tyndall, in a late work, elaborately treats of the influence of germs in the propagation of disease and charges upon this cause the inception and development of very many of the ailments most injurious to man. Prof. Pasteur, an eminent French' savant, has" carried his" original and beautiful experiments so far, and from them deduced such practical results as very greatly to diminish the number of cases of anthrax among sheep and chicken cholera among fowls—proving his theory that these are essentially and actually germ diseases. These germs are carried into the system through the lungs, the stomach, and possibly the skin, but through the lungs chiefly. Once in the system, they begin to develop, poisoning the blood, invading the nerve centers, disturbing the functional activity of the great organs of the body and inducing a general impairment of the vital processes. They are the cause of fevers, rheumatism, Bright’s disease of the kidneys, pneumonia, blood-poisoning, liver disease, diphtheria and many other ailments. Lately Prof. Koch, a famous German physician, has proved that consumption of the lungs is due to this cause—the presence of a peculiar germ. When the circulation is bounding, the nerves elastic and the system all aglow with life and energy,-the germs seem to develop poorly, if at all. But with weakened nerves, poor digestion or mal-assimilation of food or a-lowering of vitality from any cause, a change ensues, and in this impoverished and weakened fluid the germ finds a genial home and develops until symptoms of disease are distinctly manifested. This is seen in the every day experiences of all. The healthy man resists the influences around him and does not take cold, while those whose systems have become weak from any cause readily contract colds. This is on the same principle as the germ theory. The germs attack any weakened spot in the body, and fixing themselves upon it, begin their propagation. It is plain therefore that it is only by fortifying the weak portions of the body that the germs of disease can be resisted and driven from the system. But this has proved almost an impossibility heretofore,and it has been the study pf physicians for years how best to accomplish it. Within the past few years, however, a preparation has been attracting great attention, not only throughout the entire land, but among the medical profession and scientists generally, which is based upon this theory, and it may safely be said, no remedy has ever been found which can so successfully place the system in a condition to resist the germs of disease.as Warner’s Safe.. Cure. This article 1 is unquestionably the best and most efficient that has ever been discovered for this purpose, and “John, say, John! does the encyclopedia advertise Warner’s Safe Cure?’’ “ I should not wonder, dear, it’s a grand remedy, and that pamphlet we received the other day stated that Dr. Gunn, of the United States Medical’College indorsed it. At all events the wonderful cures it is accomplishing entitle it to be honorably noted among the great discoveries of the present century." However the facts above stated may be, the truth remains, that the germ theory of disease is the correct one and that the great remedy mentioned is the only one which has ever been found that can put the system in a condition to kill these germs before they obtain a hold upon the body, and undermine the life.

The Science of Picking Pockets.

“Pickpockets are a class of thieves who must be especially fitted for the business,” said - a headquarters detective to a reporter. “They go through a course of instruction, as a general thing, and learn it as a child learns to read. But no instructors will accept as a pupil anyone with short, stumpy fingers. It requires for picking pockets—just as it does for playing the violin—long, lean, flexible and even sensitive fingers.” _ ' “Do you mean to say that tbefe"are regular instructors in the art of digital appropriation ?” “Oh. yes; all experts who have reduced it to a science. Some of 'them who are advanced in (years, or otherwise incapacitated for active work on their own hook, devote all their time to instructing thieves and putting up jobs for them. It is a peculiar profession, and requires peculiar talents, as well as peculiar surroundings and circumstances, to make it a success. The Eickpoeket out of a largo city, ceases to e a great artist, and in a poorer town or a village, would degenerate into a mere burglar, or even become honest or prosperous. The pickpocket never commits violence, as the footpad, the burglar, or the garroter does. He performs his work unostentatiously, unobtrusively—l might even say delicately. He is a judge of character, too. He is a sort of detective in his way, knowing at a glance the kind of a man whose watch is likely to be solid and valuable, and not belonging to the order of flashy jewelry. Long experience has made him about as good a judge of the - value of things as a jeweler or a pawnbroker. There is a daily danger in his mode of life; which, no doubt, has attractions for the adventurous. He goes forth with bis liberty in his hand. He lives in the face of danger. He sees com* panions and friends perpetually struck off the roll of gentlemen-at-large. He knows not when his own day of doom may arriye. ” — Chicago Netcs.

Trap and Field Shooting.

A man may excel in trap-shooting and yet never become anything, of a field shot; it is not in him. There are men whom neither trap work nor field work can ever make crack field shots. We have frequently been out shooting with a friend, whose company we value most highly; he has a large, fund ofwoodcraft, is a close observer, and as full of ardor cs any sportsman we ever knew. He has followed the dogs day in and day out, tramped hundreds bf

miles in pursuit of woodcock, grouse and quail; fired no one knows how many thousands of shots at the birds. The total amount of game actually brought to bag by him in the last ten years comprises two ruffed grouse and one woodcock—and there is every' reason to believe that the grouse were killed by accident. As a field shot tins man is a veritable, incorrigible “duffer. ” But at the traps he can break ten glass balls straight, or kill the live birds sprung from a trap as often as any other gunner in his vicinity.— Forest and Stream.

The Terror of the South.

JASPER, Fla.—Mr. Boardman W. Wilson, traveling for A. G. Alford <fc Co., dealers in Firearms and Cutlery, Baltimore, was prostrated here with the “breakbone fever;" he asserts that in his own, as well as in the case of others, the only thing found to relieve this painful malady was St. Jacobs Oil. This wonderful pain-cure has the indorsement of such men as ex-Post-mnster General James, Senator Daniel W. Voorhees and an army of others.

American Camels.

The Tombstone Epitaph says that the camels running wild in Arizona were bought by the United States Government in Asia Minor. There were seventy-six camels in the first “colony.” They were first employed in packing between Fort Tejon and Albuquerque, in some instances carrying 100 gallons of water to the animal, and going nine days without water themselves. Tiring of the camels, the Government condemned them, and they were sold at Benecia to two Frenchmen, who took them to Reese river, where they were used in packing salt to Virginia City. Afterward the animals were brought back to Arizona, and were for some jtime engaged in packing ore from the ’Silver King to Yuma; But through some cause or other the Frenchmen became disgusted, there being no market for camels just then, and turned the camels loose upon the desert,near Maricopa wells, and to-day they and their decendants are roaming through the Gila valley, increasing and multiplying and getting fat upon succulent sage-brush and greasewood, with which that country abounds. *

The Want of a Reliable Diuretic Which, while acting as a stimulant of the kidneys, neither excites nor irritates them, was long since supplied by Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters. This fine medicine exerts the requisite degree of stimulation upon these organs, without producing irritation, and is, therefore, far better adapted for the purpose than unmedicatted excitants often resorted to. When we consider that the kidneys and bladder share In importance with the bowels, as the sluices or outlets fer th", refuse matter of the system, the necessity of sustaining their activity beaomes apparent. The kidneys act as purifiers of the blood, and when their functions are interfered with through weakness, they need toning. They become healthfully active by the use of the Bitters when falling short of relief from other sources. This superb stimulating tonic also prevents an 1 arrests fever and ague, constipation, liver complaint, dyspepsia, rheumatism and other ailments. Use it with regularity.

SCHOOL TEACHERS. Mr. H. L. SOPER, principal of the High School at Poquonock, Conn. says in relation to a matter which has given him much anxiety and pain: “My wife and I have both used Hunt’s Remedy, and find it really a superior article. A year or so ago my kidneys became weak and sluggish, owing to a severe strain, and finding relief in Hunt's Remedy I continued its use until I had used four bottles when I became well. Since my cure I have suggested its a to a great number of people, who I know have been benefited by using it.“ And to subtantiate this statement, Mr. H. S. Clark. assistant superintendent of the High School, says: “I can certify to the value m Hunt's Remedy, having received a great benefit from its use. My troubles commenced twelve years ago, when my kidneys became afflicted with inflammation of the passages, but the timely use of so valuable a medicine arrested the disease. I can now cheerfully recommend it to all suffering as I was.' May 31, 1883. Thia meet remarkable statement was made by Mr. Frank B. Lee. clerk in the office of N. Y. C. & H. R. R. R., Little Falls. N.Y., on the 8th of June, 1883. Mr. Lee says: “My father has been troubled for over twenty years with severe kidney and bladder disease, suffering the most acute pain when urinating. He became so bed that he was obliged to give up all business. His condition was such that his urine would drop constantly, and he was obliged to use a rubber bag, th* weakness was so great. He used many kinds of med* cine without deriving any benefit, until he was urged bp one of our druggists in Little Falls (Mr. Skinner) to use Hunt’s Remedy, aa he had known of its being used to many cases with greet success. I purchased one bottle and he commenced using it, and he was so Improved that he got along without the rubber bag. He used in all twelve bottles, and it has entirely cured him. Father is sixty-two years old, and we consider it a most wonderful cure, and cheerfully recommend Hunt’s Remedy to all afflicted with kidney, liver, or urinary troubles.’’ All the evidence published in regard to Hunt’s Remeady can be relied upon; It is true in every particular.
