This Weu-WOrn World.

Our world is growing old and grow
ing cold, and as it wakes older and
colder it shrinks and shrinks, and
shakes and quivers, so that its coat
is perpetually getting little too big
for it, and has to be taken in at the
seams from time to time. The tax
ing in is done by the simple and prim-
tive method ofmaking 1. bullying tuck.
The Alps are situated just above a
seam, and are themselves one of the
huge bullying tucks in question: Ac-
cordlng to Professor Helm, the fold
ing Of the crust has been so enormous
that points originally far apart
have been brought "a miles near
er one another than they we're at the
beglnnlng OF the movement ofpressure.
In fact, Switzerland must have been
originally quite ~ large co untry, with
some pretenti0ns to be regarded in the
light of a tirst-rate European power;
but its outside has been folded over
and over SO often that there is now
very little OF it upon the surface.
What it once possessed in area it has
nowadays to take out in elevation
only. Prof. Judd has we'll shown how
great Is the amount Of wear and tear
to which mountains are thus subjected,
and how enormous is the amount of
material they undergo, in the case OF
the extinct volcano at Null, which
rose during the remote Miocene period
. hai Of 4o,>
thousand feet above the sea level. It
had a diameter of 80 miles at it's
base, and it's great cone rose
gigantic like that of Ktna, or
of Fusi on q Japanese fan, far
into the sky, unseen by any eye save
that of the half-human, ape-like
creatures whose rude tire-marked flint
flakes the Able Bourgeois has olsen
toned from contemporary strata in
the north OF France Since the
Miocene days, rain and frost and
wind and weather have wreaked their
will unchecked upon the poor, old
broken down, ruined volcano, till now,
in it's feeble old age, it's youthful fires
long since extinguished, it stands a
mere worn stump, consisting of few
scattered hills, none OF which exceed
5000 feet in height above sea level.
All the rest-cone and ashes, lava
and debris-has been washed away by
the pitiless rain, or split and destroyed
by the powerful ice wedges, leaving
only the central core of harder matter,
with few outlying weather beaten
patches OF solid basalt and volcanic
conglomerate.-Cornhill Magazine.

He Took WhiSkey,
From the Big Horn Sc ntinel.

From the Big Horn Sc ntinel i
A hobby and snobbish m:lord ct
British extraction travelled from Big
Horn with us and Abe Idelman on
the stage coach early one week. Mil
ord was excessively exclusive. He
wouldn't be soclable, and spoke to no
one except the two "John Henry"
servants he had with him, and was
altogether as unpleasant as hiss mob.
bishness could make HIM. At g. din
ner station there were a lot of Jolly
cowboys on a lark, and one OF them
"treating' everybody, asked the En-
glishman to drink.
OF course MILFORD refused. The cow
boy displayed dangerous-looking six
shooter and very impressively insist
ed on his drinking. "But l cawn't,
you know; I don't drink, you know
was milord's reply. Mr.. Cowboy
brought the muzzle in a dangerous
proximity to the knot in witch mil
ord's brains were supposed to lie hid
den somewhere, and then he said he'd
drink--he'd take soda water, you
know.
"Soda water nuthin'," said Mr..
Cowboy. "You'll take straight whis-
key" .gf> -"
"But, aw, this American whiskey, T
cawn't swallow it, you know"
"Well," said the cowboy. I'll make
hole in the side of your head so that
we can pour it in" and he began to
draw on Milford, and Milford said:
cav, that'll do, I'll drink it. ...e. =.
Then the cowboy invited milord's
servants to drink, which Mortified
him. "They don't drink, you know"
he said. swell, we'll see whether
they do or not" said Mr.. Cowboy.
"The chances are you don't give 'em
opportunity Come up here, you
fellows, and guzzle;;" and the two
John Henrys, with q show of reluct-
ance, but really glad to get q drink,
came up, and the cowboy passed q
tumblerful of torchlight procession
whiskey for MILFORD, and the servants
poured for themselves. .3 s SSs5s ]
+ Then the cowboy made the John
Henrys clink glasses with Milford, and
all drank, and there was great fun.
Milford tried after that to b. very jol.
ly, and the stimulant assisted him de
cidedly. But in the coach efell back
into his exclusiveness, and retained Il
throughout, and has probably got it

light or too heavy, is rejected, ana
sent back to the melting furnace.
Tue Government is a thrifty manu-
facturer; the fragments, we. may be
sure, are carefully gathered up, that
nothing is lost. The pieces out of
which the coins are cut, and the silver
filings from the milling machine, all go
back, OF course, to be melted over.
The floors and walls of the mint are
covered with iron grating, through
which the scrapings and precious dust
slit: These amount in value to thirty
or forty thousand dollars a year. At.
certain intervals the grating itself is
melted down, and yields it's prey of
the precious metal.-Youth's Compan-

. Making Dollars.

On the corner of Chestnut and Juni-
per Streets in Philadelphia is square,
ugly building with bed or two of red
geraniums in front, and a United
States flag flying overheard. In the
centre of this building, in an open
courtyard, are piled-up crates covered
with stout wire net, and guarded by
men under arms.
These crates contain partially re.
fined silver ore from Colorado, and the
value of each is about a. thousand
dollars.
Some thirteen or fourteen Thousand
pounds of silver is melted every day,
and comes out of the grimy smelling
room in glittering ingots. These long
bars are held each in turn under the
topping machine, which is! O. heavy
steel shaft with q knife edge that
smooths of the ends of the metal bars
as easily as if it were pairing an apple
The ingots then haye the shape, and
good deal the appearance, of bar
OF white cream candy in the confec-
TONERS jars. Each one is next put
under rollers. like dough, and fatened
out to the thickness OF dollar.
The precious dough is then heated
and handed over to q gigantic
cook made of revolving wheels and
steel bars, who swiftly cuts it INTO tiny
biscuit, two hundred and fifty in the
minute. These little cakes are seized
by another machine which mills the
edges, and then pass into a trough filed
with acid to wash them, and from that
to revolving tub Of sawdust. They
are now smooth bright discs Of silver
with milled edges. ~ r..>,
The press which makes them into
coins is like monstrous dumb, intel
igent creature. It is waited on by a
pretty young girl who drops the discs
into a long tube, from which this dumb
monster (who seems to be thinking Of
something greater than itswork) picks
each one out with itsclaw-like fingers,
| places it between its lips, on one OF
which is q head Of Liberty, and the
other an eagle. The mouth shuts on
i with terrific force, and spits it forth,
