NEW LAW HAS SET MINTS WORK
ING OVERTIME.
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

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

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

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

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

ANOTHER FAST TRAIN.
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. -

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

than any other man will make; perhaps
loo much. I am getting old, and only
want retirement. What could I do in

Useful Kitchen Table.
A clever housewife has devised a
kitchen table which is most servicable,
especially in a small room. 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.

Andrew Carnegie on Trusts.
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.

Decorations to Be Restored.
The old question of restoring the
traceries to the windows in the palace
of the doges at Venice is again agitat
ing artistic Italy. The exterior of the
palace as it stands today was begun in
the early part of the 13th century, and
required 100 years for its completion.
In 1577 fire destroyed all but the walls.
Up to that time the windows were en
riched with beautiful tracery. N. Y.

How Polly Knew.
A "befo'-de-war" matron was teach
ing one of the little darkies on her
plantation how to spell. The primer
she used was a pictorial one, and over
each word was its accompanying pict
ure, and Polly glibly spelled "o-x, ox,"
and "b-o-x, box," etc. But the teach
er thought she was making too rapid
progress, so she pnt her hand over the
picture and said: "Polly, what does
o-x spell?" "Ox," answered Polly,
nimbly. "How do you know that it
spells ox, Polly?" "Seed his tail,"
replied the apt Polly. Argonaut.
