Woman's Work in a Mint.

Fifty females employed in the
mint at San Francisco are called
adiusters, and their pay is S2.T5 a
day, counting week days and all
holidays but Sundays. Their
hours are from S o'clock in the
morning until 4 in the afternoon,
with the exceptions OF Saturdays,
when they cease at 9 o'clock.
The re adjusters occupy two large
rooms on the second floor of the
mint. One Is used for the adjust
ing OF silver and the other for the
adjusting Of gold. TIE floors are
earpeted and each lady has a mar
Bile top table, a pair of scales and
a fine, delicate file. Before the
gold is turned over to them to be
adjusted it goes through the pro
cess of being rolled, annealed, cut
and washed. They then take it
in a state called "blanks," that is
perfectly smooth, and the weigh
ing is done. 1t is weighed 10 see

TIE VIRTUES OF CHOCOLATE The
ordinary chocolate. as manufactured in
Paris, Italy and Spain, is composed of
cocoa, vanilla and sugar. Those who
desire more delicate flavor use cinnamon
instead of vanilla, ard Il small quantity of
spice. 1t ia 10 be noted that chocolate
when required for use should not be melt
ed in pan, which is liable 10 absorb the
essential oil. The Milanese use peculiar
stone found In the environs of Milan,
huted and semi circular in form, between
two of which they crush the chocolate
tablets. Two of these stones cost Gl2.
1t is we'll knowu that Milan is celebrated
for its chocolate, and it is for the reason
that these stones do not absorb any of its
valuable properties. What these are we
will endeavor to describe from competent
authorities. Gimrod de la Reynere in
the "Almanach des Gourmands" for 1905,
says that 20 years before, chocolate was
the breakfast for old men only, but that it
had become in those days the nourishment
of all who wished TO keep their imagina-
ton fresh ahd vigorous, and even of those
whose brains were on par with fowls.
1t may be valuable hint to ladies and
gentlemen who pursue the pernicious
habit Of five O'Clock tea-perucious be-
cause it undoubtedly destroys the appetite
for dinner--that chocolate has not that
effect. 1t was necessary to discover a
substance, at once light and nutritious,
friendly to the intellect and digestion,
which, while enabling us to await late
dinner with equanimity, would not inter-
fere with our doing honor 10 that meal.
Therefore chocolate vas invent d. La
Reyneire specially recommends its use to
men of letters, to consumptive people, and
to the ladies, whose charms, he declares
a cup of chocolate every morning for
breakfast will preserve Indefinitely. If
that be so, then indeed, this article has
not been written in vain. The author of
THE Pbysiologie du Gout" says that
however copiously you may have lunched,
n cup of chocolate Immediately afterward
will produce digestion three hours after,
and prepare the way for a good dinner.
He also strongly comments it to the
man of pleasure; to every one who devotes
to brain work the hours he should pass in
bed; TO every wit who finds he has be-
come suddenly dull; TO all who find the
air damp, the time long, and the atmos-
phere insupportable; and, above all, to
those who, tormented with fixed idea,
have lost their freedom of thought To
make chocolateGt must never be cut wi h
a knife) an ounce and half is reqniste
for cup. Dissolve it gradually in hot
water, stirring it the while with a wooden
spoon; let it boil for quarter of an hour,
and serve it hot, with milk or without,
according to taste. "More than fifty years
ago." relates Brillat Savarin, mime.
d'Arestrel, the lady superior of the convent
of the visitation at Bolley, told me
that, if l wished to drink really good
chocolate it must be made the night before
in an earthenware pot, and left. The
nights repose concentrates it and gives it
a softness which makes it much better.'

THE PLANETS IN JULY.-The Stella
contributor TO the Providence journal
says that it will be an interesting study to
note the rising of the morning stars during
July, as they appear one after another
above the horizon. Neptune is first of the
five and rises on the lst at 4: 80 A. NJ On
the 3lst he rises about 1880 p. NJ. Mars
is morning star and will be in conjunction
with Saturn on the morning of the Goth,
both planets rising that morning soon
after l A. NJ. Saturn is morning star and
will take on a more splendid appearance
at his coming opposition than he has done
for nearly thirty years. His widely open
rings, his high northern declination, and
his approaching perihelion, form specially
favorable conditions for observation.
These conditions will culminate in 1895
Saturn rises on the lst about half.past 2
o'clock in the morning; on the 31st he
rises at half past II o'clock. Venus is
morning star The interesting incidents
in her progress are her near vicinity to
Mercury in the first part of the month, and
her near vicinity to Jupiter in the last
part of the month. Venus is in conjunc
ton with Mercury on the 3d at II p. NJ
and on the 8th at | p. NJ. She rises on
the 1st few minutes after 3A. NJ. and on
the 3lst at 3-45 A. NJ, Mercury is morning
star until the 20 and evening star at the
rest of the month, ending his career as
morning star at 6 p. NJ, in superior
conjunction with Jupiter. Mercury rises
on the 1st about a quarter after 3 O'Clock
in the morning; on the 3lSt he sets at
half past seven O'Clock in the evening.
Jupiter is evening star until the 9th. and
morning star for the rest of the month.
The giant planet is "A busy member of the
solar community during July, as a chief
actor in four of its principal incidents. He
is in conjunction with the sun, in conjunc
tion with the moon, in conjunction with
Mercury, and in conjunction with Venus
On the 5th, at ten O'Clock in the morning.
he is in conjunction with the sun, one of
the grand epochs Of his course. He rises
and sets with the sun, is entir' ly hidden
in his rays, pa sing behind him, and, after
conjunction, appearing on his western
side. He then commences his course as
morning star, and before the month closes
will be visible ip the northeast shortly
before sunrise. Jupiter sets on the 1st
shortly after halfpast seven o'clock IN the
evening; on the 3lst, he rises not far from
half past o'clock in the morning. Ura.
nus is evening star. Uranus sets on the
1st at II o'clock in the evening; on the
3lst, he sets soon after 0 o'clock

A LAKE-DwELLING IN AFRICA. Com

A LAKE-DwELLrNG IN AFRICA.-Com
mander Cameron, in his walk across
Africa, met with many novel and interest
ing things, among which the houses Of the
natives of the district of Lake Mohyra
near Kiemba, were not the least curious
These dwellings are erected on piles
driven into the lake. One of the huge
stakes consists of the trunk of a tree made
into kind of ladder by not removing the
stumps of the branches, which thus serve
as the means by which entrance is obtain
ed to the small platform in front of the
hut. The boat is usually suspended
beneath the house, and fishing nets are
stretched from pile to pile. The inhabi-
tants are powerful swimmers, and seldom
employ their boats to reach the shore.
Similar dwelings-which are not such
frail structures as might at first be
supposed-are also found in various parts
of South America, where, owing to the
heavy floods which are so frequent in that
country, the natives are compelled to live
in hus built aloft to escape from death by
drowning. These houses are recognized
as modern samples of the lake dwellings
of prehistoric times.

TIE RAILWAY UP Pixies PEAK.-The
railway up Pixies peak is intended TO
overshadow the Mount Washington rail-
way. The plan is to construct three
trainways, each nearly three miles long,
one beginning at the end Of the other.
The first will start from the rear of the
iron spring at Manitou, and the last will
be terminable in front of the signal station
on Pixies Peak, at an elevation of 14,200
feet. The supports will be made Of trees
not less than eight inches in diameter, and
about "a feet high, braced above and
below. On these an endless wire cable OF
one inch bore will revolve, and upon
which will be fastened, at intervals of
about 100 feet each, a large covered arm
chair in which two persons can comforta-
bly, sit This will be suspended about
eight feet from the e. ound and pass at
entering and discharging points along a
movable platform 10 load and unload
without stopping. The lower section will
be propelled by an engine at the lower
end. The center one will be driven by
water power, utilized on the mountain
side through turbine wheel. and the
third by an engine erected on the summit
of the peak.
