Uncle Sam Making Twenty Millions' Worth of Small Coin To Increase Cir culationHow the Metal la Trans formed Into Bright Pieces of Money. The new gold standard law has set Uncle Sam's mints working overtime on silver. About 1,333,333 pounds of the white metal will be coined as rap idly as possible, and what makes the task all the more colossal Is the fact that these 600 tons of sliver must be converted into subsidiary or small coins. The new law orders the Secretary of the Treasury to bring the supply of subidiary coins in circulation up to $100,000,000. At present $80,000,000 is the mark, making it necessary to coin $20,000,000 worth of halves, quarters and dimes. Mr. George E. Roberts, the director of the mint, is probably the best equipped man in the country for the purpose. Ht has three big money manufacturing plants already in opera tionat Thiiadeiphla, at San Francisco, and at New Orleans. The Philadelphia and San Francisco mints will be able to attend to the matter without the as sistance of New Orleans. The South ern mint is working at its full capacity now on silver dollars alone. From the ingot to the coin Is a rapid journey at one of the mints. It begins in the "weighing room," where stands the pair of balances that receives all the metal brought in. The scales in the Philadelphia mint are said to be the largest and finest in the world. They have a capacity of 685 pounds, but exhibit instantly the variation of one-hundredth of an ounce. The sys tem of weighing and recording begun here Is carried out with every transfer of the metal until it is delivered as coin to the cashier. After leaving the weighing-room the silver, or gold, as the case may be, is sent to the melting room, where It Is dumped into the huge plumbago cruci bles. After melting, the coin material is cast into bars, and when cold a frag ment is cut from each, which Is sent to the assay office. The assayer ascer tains the proportion of pure metal in the bar and amount of alloy needed to bring it to the required standard. The bars are again melted, the alloy doled In, and the metal then cools in bars about a foot in length, half an inch In thickness and regulated in width according to the size of the coin to be manufactured. In the melting room for gold and in many other departments of the mints the floors are overlaid with hexagon latticed iron plates, through which fall the small particles of gold that adhere to the shoes of the operators. The sweepings of the floors are even saved CUTTING OUT TUB COINS. and treated for the gold and silver dust. Director Roberts is authority for the statement that more than $20, 000 Is thus saved annually. The rolling room next receives the metal, whlcb Is passed between power ful circular crushers at the rate of 200 bars an hour. The bars come out as ribbons the proper thickness for strips from which to cut the "planchets." These last named are coins in the plain before they receive the stamp or are milled. Before the planchets are cut, however, the ribbons pass through sev eral presses to bring them to the proper hardness and to cause them to pass muster in the way of width and thick ness to the breadth of a hair. After the planchets are cut the metal begins to look like coin. The round pieces drop from this marvelous ma chine, though when pressed a speed of 280 can be attained. The perfor ated strips go back to the crucible, while the planchets go to the coining room. Here they are carefully sorted by girls who are wonderfully expert In detecting those that are under or over weight. The perfect planchets then go to the adjusting-room, where they are further scrutinized. Then they visit the milling machine. The planchet lnnvota fhia nnprn Hnn with Ira otlrroa turnea up to protect tne aevice wuicn is stamped on later. Many persons call the fluting or "reeding" on the coins the "milled edge." This is an error. Before the final stroke Is given the MILTING THE COIN.

They are heated to a dull red and dipped into boiling acid, which very quickly removes every trace of grime or grease. The planchets are dried after their acid bath in re volving cylinders filled with sawdust. They come out bright and shining and are finally hustled into the coining room, whence they become full-fledged pieces of money. WHY MOUTHS ARE DEFORMED. Smokers Are Not Careful Enough In the Selection o Their Pipes. Physicians hereabouts and through out the country generally have been called upon recently to treat a large nnmher of cases of soitheleoma of the lips. This disagreeable complaint is charged almost entirely to tne pipe smoking habit Some surgeons are of the opinion that the Imitation of amber used in the manufacture of mouthpieces for cheap "pipes has much to do with the alarming increase In the disease, while all of them agree that the ma jority of the cases are directly trace able to the short clay pipes smoked by thousands of laborers. The hospital records show that over 50 per cent, of all the cases treated were laboring men over 40 years of age. The heat brought close to the lips by the short-stemmed clay pipes causes a small blister to form, and the smoker promptly picks It and keeps on smok ing. Then a hard, knotty wart forms where the blister first appeared, and soon the whole mouth Is Involved and sometimes the tongue swells to enor mous size. " The warty growths multiply until the chin Is entirely covered and the mouth protrudes far beyond the nose. The surgeons cut away the entire growth and fashion an entirely new mouth out of flaps drawn from the cheeks and so much of the chin as may remain un affected. The operation is one of ex treme delicacy, and when poorly exe cuted the patient is inflicted with a "fish mouth," that gives a very funny expression to the face. x ipe manufacturers claim that the mouth-pieces of the cheapest grades of wooden and composition pipes are made of celluloid and similar preparations, with celluloid for the basis. They in sist that there Is nothing poisonous in the compositions and that the scarcity of genuine amber may render it neces sary to put Imitation amber on all pipes except the highest grades that com mand big prices. STOP THE TRAINS FOR GAME. Minnesota Conductor Who Has a Drop of Sporting Blood. Every man you see In Minnesota in game season carries a gun, or keeps one handy. The Minnesota man who tells this story says he heard that coun try preachers usually go prepared. "When game does flash upon you in Minnesota," he said, "It is worth shoot ing at No matter where a man may be in that State, or what he may be doing, he will be excused if he is seen to pick up a gun and make a break. The na tives understand it. "The last time I was out there I was sitting in the baggage car of a train talking to the conductor, whom I knew very well. He asked me when 1 went in where my gun was, and I had to apologize for not having It I forgot the custom. Then I asked him if there was any apprehension about train rob bers. Just then he Jumped from a trunk, grabbed the bell-cord until 1 thought he must have jerked the loco motive from the track. The train came to a stand as quickly as was possible, and the conductor, seizing a shotgun from a rack jumped from the door of the car and told nie to follow. As I did so I saw several brakemen, the bag gageman and the engineer on the ground. Every one of them had a shot gun. The conductor was in the lead. Suddenly there was a noise. A flock of prairie chickens there must have been a hundred--rose In the air. At the same instant the air was blue with smoke and scented with powder. Eighty dead prairie chickens were found, but the conductor assured me that the whole flock had been killed, and that some had probably dropped In the brush. "The hunt from the time the bellcord was pulled for the stop until the train i was again under headway lasted less than forty minutes. I noticed that the train dispatcher got his share of the chickens. Of course, this was a mixed train, but the conductor told me It would have made no difference if it bad been the limited. He allowed no game to get out of his reach." Chicago Inter Ocean. A;ain the buzz Saw. A Buzz Saw once buzzed merrily In a sawmill. His motto was "Hands Off," bat he generally Contented himself ' with a Finger or Two. He had once Halved a Young Bride's Biscuit and was therefore amply Justified In Con sidering himself Invincible. One day there invaded the Premises a Philadelphia Book Agent with the . "Life of Admiral Dewey" In Four Vol- j umes." "Ah, ha!" quoth the unsophisticated i Buzz Saw to himself, "we shall see what we shall saw." A smile stole over his steely face and he set his teeth malevolently. It so chanced that while Urging the Merits of his Books upon the Mill Own-! er the Agent Inadvertently brought bis Cheek In contact with the rapidly re- J volving disc. The Buzz Saw thought I he saw the Agent's Finish, but it is violating no grammatical rule to say that he has never sawn anything since. I Philadelphia Inquirer. Not Shady. Among the true and graceful sayings credited to the late Bishop Brooks, is one which Is especially well worth re membering. A friend was speaking to the bishop of a clergyman whose congregation had begun to feel that it would be advisable for them to have a younger man in the pulpit "Oh, well, it's the way of the world!" said this person. In reply to an Indig nant remonstrance on the part of the bishop. "You see, he's on the shady side of sixty-five." "The shady side!" echoed the bishop, quickly.

The Rio Grande Western Railway "The Great Salt Lake Route," has re sumed its fast train services to the East, making the run from Portland to Chi cago in three days and a half. No lay over is necessary, and only one change of cars is made. Those who desire it have the privilege, however, of a day light stopover either at Salt Lake City or Denver. Three daily express trains are run, leaving Ogden. Utah, at 7:15 a. m., and 1:15 and 7 p. m. The morn ing train carries a through standard sleeper to Chicago, via the Burlington Route, and the night train one via the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Rail, way. The tourist sleepers and chair cars run daily as formerly through from Portland to Denver. Twice a week tourist excursion cars are run through from Portland to Boston. All trains carry dining cars, making the trip across the continent, via "The Great Salt Lake Route," most desira ble. The Rio Grande Western Railway is the only road running thiough Salt Lake City, and with its connections' the Denver & Rio Grande and the Col orado Midland takes the passenger through the famous Rocky mountain scenery of Colorado. - For rates and all other information, address J.

Napoleon Bonaparte is quoted as say ing to Dr. O'Meara at St. Helena: "If I was in England now, and the French nation was to offer me the throne again, I would not accept it, because if I was to do so I would be obliged to turn bourreau (executioner). I would be obliged to cut off the heads of thous ands to keep myself upon it, which would not be pleasant to me. Oceans if blood must be shed to keep me there. No, no; I have made enough of noise i.lready in the world; perhaps more than any other man will make; perhaps loo much. I am getting old, and only want retirement. What could I do in France?

She had a carpenter make a second top for the ordinary table and had it fitted on to that with hinges at the back. The top shuts down tightly over the table and is used for the daily service, but when bread or pastry is to be made, it is raised, and a fresh pine surface, never used for anything else, is ready. Washington Star. Only Two Centers In the Universe. There are but two centers in the uni verse, God and self. We recognize either the one or the other of these as the center about which all things re volve and towards which all things are drawn, in our existence. In the one case we consider our neighbor, the world, our interests, our duties, and our pleasures, in their relation to God, and in God's relation to them. In the other case we consider all these things in their relation to self, and the rela tion of self to them. How is it in your case? S. S. Times.

A director of the Standard Oil Com pany has recently published in the In dependent an article declaring trusts to be good for the workingman. To the May Century, Andrew Carnegie of the Carnegie Company, which rivals the Standard Oil for first place among the world's great corporations, will contribute an essay taking the game ground. In this article, which bears the title "Popular Illusions About Trusts," the great steel manufacturer argues that the evils of trusts are gen erally self-corrective; that no trust can live long unless it secures a virtual monopoly of the commodity it dials in; and that "the only people who have reason to fear trusts are those who trust them." In the same magazine "The Keal Danger of Trusts" their menace to the independence of the individual and the state will be pointed oat in a vigorous editorial. An Inappropriate Gift.
