"We don't make money here" said
Philip Van Wyck, the chief clerk of the
assay Office in New York to Tribune
reporter THAT is, we don't convert
bullion into coin We receive gold and
silver from depositors, melt and assay the
bullion, form it into bars and ship the
bars to the Philadelphia mint, and in the
course of few days that institution
sends us back the coin"
But does the depositor have to wait
for payment until the coin gets back
from Philadelphia p asked the reporter.
Not at at all, >" said the chief clerk !"
the government furnishes lis with
bullion fund amounting to over $35, 000,-
600, out of which we pay the dcpositor
just as soon as the tineness of his metal is
determined by assay, the weight ascer-
tanned and the value calculated. In fact,
all our deposits, except in cases of re-
melt and re-assay, are made within two
days.
Now" said he, picking up bright
new double eagle, ''you know how easy
it is to spend that coin, but unless you
are familiar with the work you can form
no idea Of the time and labor it took to
make it. From the time the bullion from
which this double eagle was made reached
the mint until it was converted into coin,
1t had passed through no less than ten
distinct processes, such as melting, alloy
ing, forming the metal into ingots roll
ing the ingots into strips the thickness of
the coin, cutting from the strips the
'planchets' or blanks, annealing, mill
ing and adjusting the blanks and coin
ipp or CT rp,,in,r bo ,Ninc.c 1oe;,Ja e,nI ~,
minor operations incidental to mintlng.
Now examine that coin closely under the
glass and see how well the work is exc
cuted. The Romans cxcelled in the art
of engraving, and many of their coins
were masterpieces. But we cannot afford
to throw up our central designs in such
bold relief as the Romans did, for in
the hurry and hustle of our day and the
rapid handling and piling of coins, we
would soon wear the face off of the god
dess and the wings off of the eagle. So
while our designs are in bold relief, vet
we make them low and protect them as
much as possible from the abrasion and
wear by throwing up the edge of the
blank technically called milling
But let us see what they are doing in
here, said the chief clerk, as he stepped
into the weigh room, where truck
loads of silver were being weighed.
That scale you see there is model of
accuracy, and will weigh from ten thou
sand ounces down to the one -hundredth
of an ounce. This small balance weighs
from twenty ounces down to the one
five-thousandth part of grain. In fact
we must have accuracy in this work, not
only to check our operations, but to
maintain the reputation of this office,
which is such that our stamp of weight
and tineness passes current in all the
commercial centers of the world. -

Matches.

"That match you are lighting your

A Town Started In n Night.

The following good story, which illus
trates the rapidity with which towns are
built up in new Territories, was told the
Southwestern LumJermaa by gentleman
who was looking around in Dakota re-
Gently. He was present when officials of
the Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul
road arrived at point thirty miles north
of Mitchell, and planted town which
they called W oonsocket At the time
only one farm house was standing in
the vicinity, and a car was used as a
depot. This was Thursday, and on Sat
urday of the same week there were
twenty shanties, a livery stable, two
stores, IA saloon, hotel. and three lum-
Der yards. There are men who have
loaded lumber on cars without KIN owing
where it would be unloadcd, and then
run it to the first new town they hear of
being started But it is not best to i'm q.
agine that all of the yards which are es-
tablished so suddenly in the new Dakota
towns have complete assortments or are
models of neatness. A few hundred feet
of lumber thrown down by the track con
stitutes yard, which grows and is put
into shape as the town progresses

A "Reminiscences of Guiteau.

According to the Washington Post,
Colonel Crook, who signs land patents
for the President, was so struck with the
antics of Guiteau that he made a little
sketch of his head in his notch book upon
the 18th of May preceding the assass-
nation. Colonel Crook SAYS that Gui-
tcau came up to his desk on that day
and borrowed two or thee sheets of
paper. lie was very impudcnt and was
very indignant because Colonel Crook
gave him plain paper instead of the Off
clal paper. Colonel Crook said very
shortly: "1ou can take that or none"
Then Guiteau said with thump upon
his breast Perhaps you don't know
who ann Dashing down his card he
continued; 81 am one of the men who
made General Garfield President The
colonel was so struck with the appear
ance and pretensions of this tramp that
he then and there made IA little sketch of
his face. lie wrote under the sketch,
Charles Guiteau, of Illinois, one of the
men who made General Garfield Presi-
dent" BY the side of this sketch he
wrote; This fellow put on more airs
than is usual for Il man who is begging
for Office" When Garfield was shot,
Colonel Crook turned to his book and
found that the assassin and his impudent
caller were the same.

Little girls are carrying macreme cord
bags.
The ruby is being employedin engage

Italian furniture of early Florentine
styles is coming into use.
Fur-lined garments are made in shapes
similar to those of sealskin.
1t is said that curls are again to be
worn at the back of the head.
Jockey hats are not nearly so popular
as it was supposed they would be.
Elder down flannel in evening shades
makes very pretty wrap for evening
wear.
Partisan women are powdering their
hair and arranging it a la Mary Stuart in
the evening.
Some of the new seal jackets are made
with high pulled shoulders. This makes
them less monotonous.
Wells are worn short, barely reaching
below the eyes, and are omitted alto
gether by those whose compilations do
not need protection.
Plush is seen in many of the new win
ter suits combined with Ottoman silk.
With these costumes the suitable outside
garment is a tight-ftting jacket of the
plush, with fullness in the back like a
postillion basque. A broad revers collar
is faced with Ottoman silk and the
