MUTILATED MONEY.
Work in the Redemption Bureau of
the U. S. Tre:Bury.
Ourrancjr Iajwr4 and All Hat D-

One of the moat interesting depart'
imnta in tb United States treasury
is that devoted to the redemption of
matllated currency. To it are sent
all varieties of bills, in every conceiv
able stage of mutilation. It is seldom
that the experts cannot decipher tbe
burned crisp or piece together the
myriad fragments. The collection is
kaleidoscopic rapidity, ssya tbe New j
lorlc Tribune. ,
The burning of a note usually brings
out its design in a sort of metallic
relief upon lie surface, and by means
of a giaus and other implements, and
also a full and complete knowledge
of tbe intricate designs no two de
nominations being alike on every note
issued, their fuce value la learned with
incredible dexterity. Rome arrive in
fairly good condition, some shrunken
and water soaked, others 'scorched
black and twisted out of ahape; many
arc merely thin, tiny black flakes, and
in one cose, now under consideration,
the evidence consists of a email hand
ful of black powder, which the afliant
swears wua too, accidentally blown into
the fire. Often the mischief has been
done by mice, bandfuls of tbe tiniest
of pieces attesting tbe evil waya of
tbe rodent; babiea are another source
of trouble, maniacs, victims of drunken
frenzy, plowshares, sawmills in fact,
the strangest and most unheard
of accidenta are occurring all tbe
time. But rn a great majority of eases
the money has been burned, for a com
mon practice among people who are
their own bankers seems to be the
keeping of their funds in unused stoves.
A cold day comes, the firs is lighted
by some unsuspecting person who
"didn't know it was loaded," and the
owner suddenly finds that he had
money to bu. n in spite of himself.
In one instance a mau having $7,000
in government bonds, beKidesnotesand
gold, kept them in s tomato can which
be placed in the elbow of his parlor
stove. While he wns plowing his fields,
company arrived, his wife bad a Are
kindled and shortly m made the un
pleasant discovery that his riches had
taken wings. Had he sent the money
just as it came Irom the stove, wrapped
in cotton. It might have been saved,
but in endeavoring to separate it it
became so churned and ground up that
the department was able to identify
only about $1,600 for him.
An old woman wbo had accumulated
about $400 was one night at her devo
tions, when tbe candle in some mysteri
ous manner was overturned in the
midst of the money. Now, history does
not relate why it was there, or whether
she was returning thanks or paying
a bit of homage to Mammon, but, at
any rate, it was destroyed, and as she J
threw me aBbes away and at the in
stigation of her friends picked them
out again there was only enough left
to return about 1100 to her.- '
liut much more fortunat ware an
old couple in the west. The man had
been a roldier. and by the long ac
cumulation of years they had saved a
little sum. when one day the wife, in
going to look at It, found that the
mice had left only a pile of earefully
sawed fragments. Almost distracted,
she took it to the bank, reporting that
the last time she had counted it tbe
sum had been $175, mostly in tens and
twenties. It was sent here, the tiny
bits sorted and arranged as only ex
perts can arrange them, and the neces
sary three-fifths of every note was
found. But tbe best of all was that,
Instead of $275 it was discovered that
the old people's savingw amounted to
$3(0, which amount was finally sent to
them, much to their joy.
Of course, the greatest precaution is
necessary, and the affidavits must leave
no doubt as to the utter and entire
destruction of the missing parts of the
notes. In one case of this kind a farm
er sent from Kansas some greenbacks,
amounting to $50, .only half of each
note being intact. The rest, he - de
clared in a strong affidavit, had been
destroyed, and also stated in what
manner. But on consulting the books
it was found that one-balf the sum
had already been paid to another per
son, who hnd sent the other halves of
the notes from another part of the
country. Conseuently but $45 was re
turned to him. . '
Thereupon the cashier who had
trnnsncted the business for the fnrmer
wrote such an indignant letter, saying
the government hnd impugned the hon
esty of the claimant and that he would
prove hiin in the right, that the affair
wns put into the hands of the secret
service, the proofs exhibited, and the
imprudent farmer fined $1,000 for false
swearing.

sad the duke, "i don't call him respecta

bcry." "I don't think much of him,"
answered the duke; "but ns yoti assure
me it Is all right, I will see what can be
done," It was finally agreed thnt vis
itors should be admitted, on condition
that they wiped their feet on the mats
and did not sit down on the sofas.

"Oive Mr. Lord Clowes tby band,

.Janice polled one of tbe chairs near

turned to her quilting frame, at which
she bad been, working when tbe inter
ruption came.
"Didst hear me?" demanded Mrs.
Meredith. , ,,
Janice turned and faced tbe three
bravely, though her voice trembled a
kittle as she replied:
"J will not shake his bond." ,
"Yoicks! Here's a kettle of fish!"
ejaculated the commissary. "What's
wrong''- -
, "Janice, do as tbou art told, or go
to thy room," ordered her mother. ,
The girl opened her lips as if about
to protest, but courage failed her, and
she hurriedly left the parlor, and, dy
ing to her chamber, she threw herself
on ber bed and wept out her sense of
wrong on her pillow.
"Doggone it," she sobbed, "I'm not
going to be the first American girl to
marry au English lord, I don't care
what they ssy. , Mommy wants it, and
so does dadda, and now it's up to bis
lordship to get me, but, odabodikins, I
vow I'll not set the pegs for posterity
in this un-Americanizing business, so
there;" and Janice, chuckling softly to
herself, stifled ber sobs once more in
tbe pillow.

The story is going tbe rounds that
when Kudyard - Kipling had written
"The Kecessional," which the editor of
the London Times declared to be the
greatest poem written in the nine
teenth century, and which the whole
world has r2ceired as one of the greatest-
pieces of work in our time, he was
so depressed by its shortcomings that
he threw tbe first rough copy into the
waste paper basket. But Mrs. Kipling
has learned her husband pretty well,
and so she rescued it. But for Mrs.
Kipling we should have had no "Reces
sional!" Many a great deed that- has
lifted humanity upward has been nour
ished end saved from defeat by the
watchful and loving sympathy of some
unknown; member of the home part

At the Inst- last annual meeting ' of
the Geological Society of America,
Prof. I. C. Russell called attention to
the recent discovery that many of the
swamps and lakes in the southern pe
ninsula of Michigan are rich in calcare
ous marl, suitable for making Port
land cement. Although partly com
posed of shells, the Michigan marl is
principally a chemical precipitate
which is still being formed. The pre
cise method of its .formation is not
yet understood. The supply is prac
tically inexhaustible. . Large cement
works have recently been constructed,
ithers arc'in contemplation, und Prof.
Russell says that Michigan can easily
take a leading place in that industry. ,

1 Foreign immigration Into the Unite!
Btates, the volume of which was dlmin-.'
ished after the financial difficulties ot
1803 and 1894, has resumed its former
dimension and is now about 300,000
year. Tbe number of immigrants what
arrived at the port of New York dur-
ing tbe quarter ending January 1, 11)00,
was 74,892. Of- this number fonr-fiftbd "
declared their destination to be the
states composing the North Atlantic
division, of which the state of New
York received the largest number. Ot
these VI per cent, intended to settle irn
New York state, 19 percent in Pennsyl
vania, 6 per cent. In Sew Jersey, 0 per
cent, in' Massachusetts and 3 per cent,
in Connecticut.
: It has been supposed generally that
the great flood of immigration into the
port of New York has for its ultimate,
destination tbe great states of the west
or northwest, in which land is cheap, :
the return from agriculture almost
immediate and the existing homestead:
and naturalization laws particularly
favorable to newcomers. As a matter j 1
of fact, however, and notwithstanding,
the great extent of Scandinavian immi
gration to tbe United States, recently. ,-re-enforced
by a considerable number
of Finns, the agricultural states of the . 1.
west get comparatively kittle of thej
new immigration. Thus Iowa, which is
the mostdistinctly "agricultural" stater
of the country, and which has long of
fered many favorable opportunities to. .
farmers from nor hern European conn- , t
tries, was the destination of only 3011
of the 75,000 immigrants who arrived. '
curing tne last, quarter 01 lava anu ouv
niy declared their destination . for
Minnesota, a state which has a largen
proportion of Scandinavian population;
than any other and In which the dc
maud for farm laborers for several m
years has been considerably , greater.,, t
than the supply. To the big agricul
tural state of Kansas only 268 immi
grants went, to Idaho only 15, and t .
Oklahoma, "No, Man's Land," only re
cently opened to settlement under
fixed agricultural title to land, only ll.' '
That distance from the Atlantic sea
board and the delay and expense in.
reaching such places is not tbe true
reason of the scanty immigration t
such places is proved by the fact that

1,000 immigrants went, while the num
