than Is any private corporation.
In
the United States treasury the whole
output o f the nation’s currency Is
handled by men who are under neither
surveillance nor bond. The paying tell
er handles $-10,000,000 or $50,000,000 a
year. The exchange clerk has every day
$110,000 In change nt hand. The money
in charge of tho keeper of the cash-
room runs from $170,000,000 upward,
and the chief of the Issue division
handles millions every day. Any of
these men could get aw ay with enor
mous amounts of money and be reason
ably secure against detection for a con
siderable length of time. Nevertheless,
peculations from the treasury have
ta-eii few and sinnll In amount during
its history. There Is an axiom In the
department which runs ns follows:
"Wherever money Is handled there
Is a point ot which the honesty of the
individual must be the main reliance."
Anil so the treasury dispenses with
the services of spotters.
However,
private business interests Involving the
hniulllug of lnxge sums of money are
not likely to follow this example.
Spotters may be an evil, but they are
n necessity in the present phase of
liumau development, and until some
psychological chemist devises a prep
aration to make men honest .the type
Is likely to persist.—S. II. Adams In

The baby w as only 4, but she w as an
only child and had lived with her par
ents largely In hotels, and she w as •
self possessed little maiden. She waa
alw ays a model of propriety as to man
ners, so that when oue day a young
raau, a friend of her papa’s and mam
ma's aud a great admirer of the little
girl, asked to take her out to luncheon
all by herself she was allowed to go.
A very tiny girl may go without •
chaperon sometimes. Tbe little girl
was to do the ordering. She undertook
this responsibility with confidence and.
takiug up the menu, studied It with as
much gravity ns If the letters were not
as unreadable to her as Greek would
huve been to her mamma.
“I will have some meat and some po
tatoes,’* she said gravely, "and by and
by I may have some Ice cream.”
Tbe order w as given, the cream fol
lowed, and the little lady w as an alto
gether charming, dainty aud sw eet lit
tle companion for luncheon. The meal
ended with the dignity with which It
had begun, the youug woman donned
her wraps, and as the young man waa
preparing to escort her to the door she
remarked gravely:
“And now I will have some flowers."

Of tho many extraordinary things tor
whleh patent protection has been
grouted a hole seems to be the most
useless sad Impossible. Yet there are
tunny pnteuts for holes, and. what la
more, tbe patents are valid and valu
able. Oue of tbe best relates to boles
lu ships’ bottoms for the admission
and escape of water to the condensers.
Every one who has seen a screw
steamer Ulster way will have noticed a
stream o f water issuing from her side,
a little above tbe wnter line; that water
Is pumped Into the ship for the pur
pose of condensing the w aste steam
that leaves the cylinders and returning
It ns water to tbe boilers.
At last It occurred to a genius that
If a hole were made In the bottom o f
tho ship forward of the condenser and
nnother abaft It. the water would cir
culate around the condenser without
the nld of a pump. It Is for the shape
of these holes, so that they will offer
less resistance to the water when tbe
ship Is traveling fast, that several pat
ents hnve been granted.
