It Would bo a Skillful Burglar In
deod Who Could Enter It.
Washington Latter to Savannah News,
I dropped into the treasury yesterday
and looked at the workmen who were en
gaged in constructing the new vault.
The treasury itnclf looks like a tomb It
has great, somber columns down each
side of it. and the doors of its basement
are bo cut that they look as though they
were dug out of the solid rock. Every
thing about it is massive, and it makes
me think inoro of the Bank of England
than any other building I have seen. It
is made in the shape of a hollow square,
with wide tiers of granite walls running
around a court in the center. It is in this
court that the new vault is being built.
These walls of brick and cement rise
within, and the vault will be above and
not below ground. Its intcri r will be
cut up into cells walled-with iron lattice
work, and the workmen are now riveting
the iron burs together. These bars must
bo very strong, as the weight of the
silver which-is to be put iuto the vault
will be immense. There was a portable
furnace blazing away within ti e vault
to-day and four men were carrying led
hot rivet a and sticking them through the
holes which had been drilled in tl esc
iron bars. They were then riycted by
the pounding of a heavy hammer while
a man held an iron mallet against them
at the back. Each of these lattice work
walls requires 2,o()0 rivets, mid it will
take more than 100,000 of the.-e rivets io
fasten the iron work of the yault together.
Tho vault is to contain $100,000,000,
which is such an immense sum that few
people can comprehend it. it will give
some idea of it to know that its weight
will be y.TiVO tons or the weight of ;$.,
800 men of 200 pounds each. Think of
the heaviest man you know and it would
take .".i,000 such men to weigh as much as
does this silver. It would take a train a
mile and a quarter long to transport it.
Its weight would be so much that six
locomotives could hnrlly hiul it, and if
these dollars were laid out so that one
would just touch the other it wouh
make a line 2,30.) miles long. If they
wen; put into a floor, edge to edge, th- y
would carpet ten times the area of the
Capitol, or more than thirty acres,
And if they were piled one upon
the other they would reach much more
than 1,.j0D times a high as the Washing
ton monument, making a solid column
of silver more than 117 miles high. A
million dollars in silver Is no small
quantity, and when you pack $100,000,
000 into a vault it has to be as strong as
stone and iron can make it. To rob thi
vault wilt, be a physical impossibility.
To tunnel into it one would have t:
go under the whole treasury building,
and have to drill through a floor of am
ent and chilled steel before he got to tl;
coin. The slightest noise would be sur.
to bi heard and themovemnet of a singh
bag would cause such a racket as tobrin.
the guards down instanter. No attempt
has, I think, ever been made to rob tii.
United States treasury, and the safeguai d.
about it are so strong that nont; but th.
craziest of men would think of tryinir it.
Omaha Fires.
Last night about midnight the barn of
Williams & Stephenson.corner of 20th r.n 1
Izard streets, of Oinaha.wns bu n.c The
tire was caused by a man named Josepl.
Law;', who was drunk, going to sleep in
an old stage c-ach in the barn which
contained some hay, with a lighted pipe
in his mouth. Of course the pipe fell
from his niou'h when he went to sleep
and thus set the'hay on fire, and in hi.-
drunken stupor was unable to escape and
was burned to a crisp. The loss of prop
erty amounted to about $-00.
This morning about 2:50 the livery
barn of Lucus & Rcapon, near Grace
and 2ilh streets, Omaha, was burned
with all its contents. The fire started in
the rear of tha building and burned rap
idly. Two employees who were sleep
ing in t!:.; barn barely escaped. The
horses burned numbered 2, with a large
number of buggies and can ir.es.
Tho los is estimated at 12.000 with
some insurance.
Attempted Suicide.
A rumor reached us to-day of an at
tempted suicide last night of a young
man named Dolkin, cf Pacific Junction.
As near as we were able to learn, it ap
pears that Dolkin was greately taken up
with a lass of about sixteen summers and
desired her hand and heart, but the girl's
father objected to the match and so the
young lady kept postponing an accept
ance to Dolkin's life-long promises.
Last evening when Dolkin called on the
girl she informed him her father advised
her to wait till she was old enough to
know who she was marrying. This
broke the young man's heart and he
sought a passage from this cold world
by morphine but didn't know enough to
take enough and a doctor brought him
throught the night and at 2:30 informa
tion from the Junction said the young
man was alive.
Who eycr heard of such a thing be
fore ns a mans leather shoe for C0c, a
pair can be had only at Phillips', the
cheapest place in the city to buy shoes.

The Tew!iiaier at Home.
In many families the newspaper has be
come a. forbidden object to the handa ami
eyes of tho younger members. Their parents
have lx-eomo unwilling that they should fa
miliarize themselves with tho records of
crimes to bo found there, with tho fact of tho
frequency of such crimes, or with tho fre
quently light and flippant ways of mention
ing them, while in many earns tho advertise
ments have become sources of apprehension.
It is u pity, however, to deprive the growing
children of all knowledge of what is going on
in tho world in different regions from those
of crime, and households h'avo always their
safeguard in tho provision of a weekly paper
which, whilo keeping its readers abreast with
the current of the world, is not bound as a
matter of news to tho daily consideration of
the last theft or murder. Harper's Bazar

A woman can be a good housekeeper with
out taking all her time to do her housework.
If sho cannot let her, after all, bo satisfied to
bo an ordinarily good one, and take some of
the time from her previously self imposed
drudgery for reading, education of children,
self improvement and for recreation. There
is no reason why a long programmo of work
should be laid out for every day, nor why it
should bo carried through at all hazards. If
each hour of tho day is arranged for some
kind of work, one hour at least ought to bo
set apart for recreation, and that hour, of ell
others, rigidly observed. Cor. Good House

"Abuse of the tooth pick.
Am Unobjectionable Utile Instrument
When tTsetl at I'roper Times.
Tho tooth piek, when used with discretion
and at proper tunes and in proper places, is
on uno!jeetioi!:illo little instrument. Its
occasional employment is, a;; a rule, neces
sary to cleanliness and tho preservation of
tho teeth. So, ateo, is tho use of the tooth
brush. This adjunct of tho toilet is, however,
never used in public. The pei-soo who, after
partaking of a i:iea!, should proceed to pub
licly u;;o his tooth brush would speedily find
himself bani: hed from decent roeiety. Yet
such action woa'd bo less objectionable to
witness than the service to which some peo
ple who preU "i:d to refinement and culture
put the tooth piek. Tiiero iu but ou place in
which it may be rir;hi!y used the dressing
room and no person who has tho slightest
consideration fur tho fceliuys of others will
handle it an j-where else.
It would H?(.-.n to Ijc ahnost unnecessary to
make such f-tateinent-s as those in tho foro
gohijj paragraph. K o:;e possessing a:;y
delicacy of fi cling or squcmiishiicsc of diges
tion wiil dream of con' rovcrt ing them. And
yet the public use of tho tooth pick is daily
increasing, and has already lvachod propor
tions that strike tho foreign visitor with
astonishment and disgi::.t, and make tho
lives of many of our citizens anything but
agreeable.
Tho practice has doubtless grown owing to
the large number of people who live or li;vo
lived in hotels and boarding houses, whore
toothpicks were furnished with tho idea that
guests would t ake them to their rooms, and
i:i some of the good hot els guests can even
now only procure toot hpicks at tho doors by
which they leave tho tlivihig rooms. In other
hotels and in many boarding houses, end
also, it is sad to have to write, in sumo pri
vate houses, tho toothpick holder is a. regular
ornament ('.") of the meal table, and its con
tents aro assiduously workotl.
In 11a olhi r cotuitiy that the writer Ixas
ever vi:;;tcd hove toothpicks I con publicly
used in private houses' cn- ia tho presence of
women. An English woman or a French
woman of the. better class not 01113- never
dreams of using a toothpick before people,
but she considers it something that it is more
pleasant not even to mention. Here, how-i-vcr,
it is no uncommon occurrence to hear a
lady ask for tho toothpicks, and select ona
that she thinks wiil fit her necels. The

Dcetl tho present system of attaining the to

what business house or bank would for a

these seemingly brilliant schemes to quick

up three rows of figures at a time, but 1
never knew one yet who, after having done
so, did not, wi;.h a proper regard to his own
responsibility for any accruing errors, run
over the three columns in the old fashioned
way of put down tho 1 and carry the 9 to bo

Ciy Horses at Dinner.
Of all the tiarbaroiL-ly stupid and wasteful
contrivances man lias i:ivei.t---;l the nose bag,
out of which harnessed h-.-i-sv.-s take their din
ners, is the most ridiculous. Opposite my
window as I write is a row of a elozeu express
wagons drawn up iu ftvnt of tho oCice. Tho
l'crscs are chasing their oats about iu the
depths of their ncso La-s or tossing three
quarters of their dinner a r. ay in their effort
to capture the other fourth part of it. The
street in front of them is strewn with oats
enough to sow a crop from. Tho ioor beasts
arc tantalized half out cf their wits and have
lost part of a necessary meal, and no cno is
tho gainer but the sparrows. It would not
seem difficult io invent a trough to rest on
the shafts or polo of a wagon, and so feed the
horses at their ease. The more sagacious of
tho brutes give n hint at this themselves, for
you will often sec them resting tho bag on
the polo or shaft in order to get at the low
fcd-3 of grain within, which, by the way, may
bo taken to show once more that horse senso
has points in it worth human consideration
and adoption. Alfred Trumblo in Xew York

"Well Water of Ionbtful Quality.
As the country becomes older, wells which
formerly yielded good water are becoming
unreliable, and late in the season furnish
water of doubtful quality. This fact is well
understooel in cities where artificial supplies
of water replace that from wells. The same
impurity in the water doubtless exists in
many country wells, and is the cause of sick
ness and death at this season of the year. If
the well is low have it cleaned out. This
should bo done wherever possible every two
or three years. Most people will be surprised
at the amount cf impurities to bo found in
old wells w-hose water they may for years
have been drinking. If the well never gets
low enough to be cleaned out its water
should be filtereel before being considered fit
for borne use. Boston Budget.
