A Money Dresser.

An old-coin man visits the offices of
the elevated railroad every few days to
purchase the worn and plugged coin
taken in at the stations, and refused at
the banks, as well as the foreign coins.
He also buys up the mutilated silver.
nickels, and coppers that are dropped
by absent-minded passengers into the
gate boxes There are many persons
who, on getting their change with a
ticket at the window of the ticket
office, will carefully put the ticket in
their pockets, aud will drop their
change in the toll collectors box.
Some ladies drop their pocketbooks in.
while they hold their ticket with great
care. Inside of each box. there is q
cylinder full of teeth, and when a piece
of coin gets into the receptacle below,
it has two holes in it or is clipped at
the edges. Every day the mass of mu-
tilated tickets is overhauled in the
main Office before being sent into the
waste, and these coins are sifted out
From five to fifty dollars a day have
been picked out in this way. The
money is so mutilated that it can moi
be passed, and it is sold to the old-coin
man for about seventy cents on the
dollar.
This curious speculator sometimes
carries away 5000 or 500 worth Of
such coin. He calls himself money
dresser" business which he insists i.
just as legitimate as that of ''coffet
polisher," or a dry-goods dresser. HI
beats out the twisted and bruised coin
cleans the sOiled copper, brightens the
foreign coin, and goes on his tour t.
dispose of his goods. The foreign mon
ey is sold to the stewards of foreign
vessels, and the poor American coin il
worked off at the cattle yards and sen
out west Much of it finds its way int
the hands of the cowboys, who spenC
it as freely as though it was fresh from
the mint. The money dresser
searches his purchases very carefully
and occasionally finds an old coin tina
pays him several hundred per cent
profit when resold to collectors of rar,
| coins.
DO you make a living in thi
way?"
Indeed l do, and a very nice living
too. IN Y. Sun.

EmPoria's Police Force BID.


EMPORIA. Kas, Oct. 7-ConsIderable
complaints have been heard for some
time past against the police force OF this
city. Repeated burglArIes haYe been
COMMITTED and no arrests made. Some
TWO weeks since John Fowler, an old
and respected citizen, suffered by bold
robbery al his house. To-day he swore
out a warrant against Joseph Barkley, q
policeman, whom he claims to have
recognized as one of the parties who as
saulted him on the night in question.
Much Indignation Is felt concerning
Mayor WhiItlesey's bad appointments to
Office. He was elected last spring, and
one strong point his supporters pre-
sented was the fact that he was out of
business and could devote his entire
time 70 his office. The fact Is that he
has not been here for several months TILL
to-day.

How Cups and sauoers Are Made.

In she so-called greenhouses" q
large quantity of ware is drying pre-
paratory to being s.fired." This pro-
cess is the crucial test of pottery. All
the preceding operations have been
carefully conducted with a distinct
view to this one. All the combinations
of clay. flint, stone, or bone have been
made with forethought of the kiln in
which the ware will be partially vitri-
fed Earthenware and porcelain are
only, as is wen-knoWn, less perfect
forms of glass. or rather of glass in
another stage of development. When
the earthenware slip-cups and saucers,
mugs and jugs, are sufficiently dried,
they are ready for the '.biscuit" kilns
as they are oddly called, for the ware
is not twice baked in them nor is il
good to eat Some kinds of ware are
submitted to the intense neat Of the
kiln three times, all twice-once in
biscuit and once in glaze. When
painting is introduced over the glaze,
as in the old Sevres pate teTadre, and
the various kinds of fine proclaim,
there is q third firing. Before being
placed in the kilns all the articles
thrown, turned, or nodded are ar
ranged in the ''saggers," receptacles
of course clay, very thick and strong,
like deep pie dishes. Into these the
various articles are packed with con-
siderable skill, little triangles being
placed between each to prevent their
touching each other, and the saggers
are next packed together in the kiln or
oven, each sagger being lined at the
bottom with layer of rock sand.
Piled one on the other the saggers
make a fairly compact column, and
when the oven, some nineteen feet in
altitude, is filled. the fire is applied.
1t will be understood that the fire by
no means touches either the ware or
the saggers in which it. is inclosed.
They are simply in an oven about to
be raised to a tremendous heat The
firing Is done by means of hues. so ar
ranged as to diffuse intense heat
throughout the whole interior of the
ovens. This firing is ticklish opera
ton, requiring the supervision of a
skilled workman capable of existing
without sleep for some thirty-six or
forty hours. At first the heat is ap-
piled gently for fear of cracking the
ware, and the fireman has an anxious
time Of it Little openings in the brick
work enable him to judge of the pro-
gress of his work. The heat of a bis
cult oven during the last twenty-four
hours is intense, between 10000 and
$1,000 degrees Fahrenheit.
