HOW 4 DIME IS COINED.

Just at present there is a lively de-
mand all over the country for sill
yer dimes, and hundreds of thou
sands of dollars of them are being
shipped to New York, Chicago, Gin
cinnati, St. Louis and other Eastern
cities. Two of the money presses
are, and have been for some time,
running exclusively on this coin.
The demand is so great that these
machines are not even stopped on
Sundays, and will be run on that
day through the present month.
The process of dime-making is an
interesting one. The silver bullion
is first melted and run into two
pound bars. These in turn are run
through immense rollers and flatten-
ed out to the thickness of the coin.
These silver strips are then passed
through a machine, which cuts them
into the proper size for the presses,
the strips first having been treated
with kind of tallow to prevent
their being scratched in their passage
through the cutters. The silver piec-
es are then put into the feeder of the
printing press, and are fed to the die
by automatic machinery at the rate Of
100 per minute, $4,000 dimes being
turned out in a regular working day
of eight hours. AS the smooth piec-
es are pressed between the ponder
Gus printing dies they receive the
lettered and figured impression in
manner similar to that of paper
pressed upon form of type; at the
same time the piece is expanded in a
slight degree, and the small corruga:
tions are cut into its rim. The
machine drops the completed coin
into a receiver, and it is ready for
the counters hands.

Raymond took the accusing letter from his

she continued wildly: ~ must tell you.

CHAPTER XVII.

Suzanne sprang forward, her cheeks in q
glow, her eyes ablaze and her beauty so daz-
cling that tho poor young man stood as if
rooted to tho spot, incapable of speech or
movement

And then suddenly, from somo indeinable
presentiment of trouble, her cheeks grew
pale. her smile faded and her lovely violet

fore her. Her horror, her fear and the ner-
vous shock were too much, and she abandoned
herself completely to her emotion.
Mother! mother!n cried Raymond, not
less agitated than she. His terrible suspicious
returned more pressing, more convincing. 1t
seemed to him as if the heavens were crum-
bling about him and there was no solid foun-
dation to the earth. There was but q bound
less and bottomless space about him, where
were engulfed all his beliefs, his hopes and
his plans. And his mother said no word. de
had reached stage where he would have
even welcomed transparent lie, so much he
wanted to be reassured. At last she under
stood what was passing in her best loved
sons soul, and she tried to smile.
'sThis heat has overcome me-"
He went and opened the windows, letting
in the cool breath Of morning, which seemed
to relieve her little.
"What were you saying just now about a
Photographic"
He picked it up and gave it to her. This
time she looked at it and said:
"Oh, yes. How could this have got lost
therea It is that Of an old friend OF our
family who married q cousin Of mine. Those
dates. Yes, they were his marriage, the &C
cidental death of his bride in two days and OF
his ha@ing become insane about Two weeks
later. He died soon after, too, believe"
Raymond breathed again. This seemed
a reasonable story, and if it were true one
all his suspicious fell to the ground. He took
the photograph from her hand, which still
trembled, and placed it in an album. As he
did so, he remarked:
ut is curious that the picture seems to be
pierced by a knife there by the side of the
heart. Do you notice it9'
ut has likely been pushed against nail in
moving" said she.
When Raymond had gone, Julia sat for
hours with her eyes fixed upon the album.
The portrait seemed to draw her invincibly,
and at last she rose and, apparently thinking
with its destruction she could chase away the
ghostly thoughts that crowded in her mind,
she removed it and burned it to cinders, which
she scattered to the four winds
Fifteen days later Raymond returned to
Meridon, and almost his first movement was
to look in the album. The photograph was
gone.
"Why," said he, surprised, lit is not there" {"
"What, my sona"
"The photograph"
"Ah, yes. 1t awokc sad remembrances,
so burned it."
RAYMOND felt his doubts and fears return.

She was indeed an object of pity; her poor
members trembled and shook with nervous
tension. She had hoped that Raymond would
console her with kind word, but his lips re-
mained closed.
at was she! She lied to me! She would
lie to me again. Why's Imust know, and

And Julia, who understood, closed her
weary eyes, wishing to hide the phantom
that stood between her and her idolized son.
Raymond passed his days and nights III
consulting and studying the case OF Roger
Laroque. He weighed the testimony word
by word as if his own life trembled in the
balance. That which drew his attention was
that suddenly, in the very lnilst of his
most eloquent plea, his father had fallen and
Roger, who had sustained his innocence until
then, rose and said:
"Search no more, I am guilty"
Raymond found q friend of his fathers
who had witnessed this tragic end, and he
told Raymond Of the letter that he had seen

A MooNLEss MONTH.-The month
of February, 1866, was in one respect
the most remarkable in the worlds
history. It had no full moon. jan
uary had two full moons, and 80 had
March, but February had none. DO
you realize what rare thing in
nature that was? Ithad not occurred
since the time of Washington, nor
since the beginning of the Christian
era, nor the creation of the world.
And it will not occur again, accord
ing to the compution of astronomers,
for 100000 years. Was not that
truly a wonderful month.

THE ALPACA OF SOUTH AMERICA.
The size of the alpaca is a little less
than that of the llama, its height be-
ing about four feet, the length of its
body being the same, and its appear
ance when the fleece has been re-
moved is very similar to that of the
llama. Its hind legs are shorter
than its fore ones, and are somewhat
curved, and its hoofs are cloven, but
the claws are very small. It drinks
very little, but has 4 voracious ap..
petite. When used as a beast of
burden, it is capable of carrying from
seventy-ive to a hundred pounds,
but not on long journeys. 1t is on
account of its fleece that the alpaca
is most esteemed, and this makes it
the most valuable of the South
American native sheep. The wool
is long, soft and abundant. On its
side, breast and back its fleece is from
s to 16 inches long. 1t is of various
colors, and sometimes speckled.
Outside the wool, and sometimes
protecting it, is long hair, which is
exceedingly fine, so that the fleece
is really combination of hair and
wool. 1t is sheared by the Indians
twice year-in June and December.

THE GOLDEN WEDDING OF REV.
JAMES SAYE.-In Chester county, on
on the 3Oth ultimo, Rev. James Saye
and his good wife celebrated the fifth
eth anniversary of their marriage.
A large number of friends were pres
ent on the interesting and happy oc-
casion. In addition to contributing
the various articles necessary to a
good dinner, they presented the aged
couple with a purse of $500. The
money was presented by Rev. George
Summey in handsome style. Rev.
James Saye was married in 1888 to
Miss McJunkin, of Union county.
They have been blessed with eleven
children, of whom seven are living,
with twenty-one grandchildren, of
whom seventeen are living, and one
great-grandchild. With the excep-
tion of married daughter and her
children, now living in Texas, all
the children and grandchildren de-
lighted the hearts of their parents
and grandparents with their pres
ence at the golden wedding on
Monday. A pleasant feature of the
occasion was the playful remarriage
of the old couple by Rev. MIR. Sum-
mey. Another pleasant feature was
the presence of two children, now
grown, of a lady in Union county,
who was one of Mrs. Saye's brides
maids.
At the close of the interesting GER
emonies attendant upon the golden
wedding, Miss Lula Shaw, of Sumter
county, a grandchild, was married
by her venerable and honored grand
father, to Mr.. Dewsenbury, of the
same county. The new couple were
attended by eight bridesmaids and
the same number of groomsmen.
The bride received considerable
number of presents. An elegant din
ner wound up the happiness Of the
day, which is one long to be remem-
bered by "Father" Saye. His host of
friends hope that he may still live
many years and see his children and
grandchildren rejoicing in all the
blessings of this life.-Cor. Columbia
