for about Is. or IS worth of goods, and
will sell on the coast for S. or IS.
Lions skins are less easy to obtain

WANTED---MORE LIGHT.
Bob Burdette Addresses a Request to the
Fifty-First Congress.

Permit me to suggest a measure Of
reform and relief which the Ii. Con
gress might pass and which would re
fleet great luster upon President Har

entitled "A Bill for the Relief of Peo-
pie who Walk in Darkness" or "An
Act to Prohibit the Use of Gas by PEG

houses with many windows and not toe

ways want enough light around
to enable me to distinguish rocking

window But we can get along well
enough when we are asleep; what we
want is plenty of light when we are
awake. Well, now; you know the
house I mean: you have been in it,
where the people burn gas and econo-
mize with it. A parlor as big-though
not quite so cheerful-as the morgue, Is

brightly; if you will return in five
minutes you will find that some careful
body has been in there and turned the

The silver pieces are then put into
tne ieeder Of the printing presses, and
are LED TO the die by automatic ma
cninery at the rate Of 100 per minute,
ao'o00 dimes being turned out in a
regular working day OF eight hours.
AS the smooth pieces are pressed
between the ponderous printing dies
they receive the lettered and fioured
impression in manner similar IN that
OF a paper pressed upon a form of
type. AT the same time, the piece is
expanded in slight degree, and the
small corrugations are cut into its rim.
The machine drops the completed
coin into receiver, and it is ready for
the counters hands. The instrument
used by the counter is not complicat-
ed machine by any means, as one might
suppose. 1t is a simple copper-colored
tray. having raised ridges running
across its surface at a distance apart
the exact width OF dime.
From the receiver the money is
dumped on the board or tray, and as it
Is shaken rapidly by the counter the
pieces settle down into the spaces be-
tween the ridges. All these spaces be-
ing filled, the surplus coin is brushed
back into the receiver, and the counter
has exactly 1850 dimes, or $125, on his
tray, which number is required to fill
the spaces. The tray is then emptied
into boxes, and the money is ready for
shipment.
The dime does not pass through the
weigher's hands, as does the coin of a
larger denomination. One and one
half grains is allowed for variation, or
tolerance" in all silver coins from a
dollar down. and the deviation from
the standard in the ten-cent pieces is
SO trif1ing that the trouble and expense
OF weighing coins Of this denomination
Is dispensed with. Golden Days.

STYLISH PARASOlS.
Novelties Produced for the Coming Spring
and Summer Seasons.

The new parasols for spring and
summer are covered faille or armurs
silk in plain colors or richly brocaded,
or with striped silks, plaids or bord-
cred patterns, and very dressy para
soils have thin gauze, silk muslin or
net covers brocaded with tinsel in de-
signs like embroidery. The handles
are of natural woods holly, acacia,
bamboo, cherry or ebony-with Curl
ously twisted hoops or large hooks or
knobs at the end, or else they are
quantity carved and tipped with silver
or gold. Coaching parasols and those
for general use have handles that ex-
tend fourteen inches beyond the edge
of the silk cover when closed. The
Directoire parasols to be used with
walking toilettes have much longer
handles, like walking-sticks extend
ing eighteen inches beyond the cover,
and these handles are now put to-
gether with screw joint so that they
may be taken apart and doubled
small enough to go into a very
small trunk. Rich brocades of the
last century in dull colors and with
metallic designs are appropriate COW
ers for these parasols when meant for
dress, while for morning walks the
striped and bordered silk covers are
used. A novel feature inside the new
Cleopatra parasols is ribbon trim
ming winding around the stretchers
that hold the parasol open as they ra-
date from the stick; when the parasol
is closed these ribbons show beyond
the tips, and a cluster of loops is
formed around the stick, giving full,
bunchy effect that is considered very
stylish.
Faille parasols of green or OF gray
shades are made to correspond with
many of the spring stuffs for dresses,
Striped parasols must be striped
around instead of down the breadths,
and those with wide stripes are pre-
ferred. The ferule at the top is very
long, and is pointed in parasols that
have cane handles. Black parasols
have new designs of MORE, palm, ovals,
or large balls on faille grounds. For
mourning are Rhadzimir parasols with
carved ebony sticks. For piazzas
and carriage use in midsum-
mer are white and gold bro
caded silk parasols, or pale old
rose. or blue brocades in leaf and
ostrich feather designs, or else en-
broidered silk muslin or net is put
plainly over white, black, gray, rose
or empire-green silk OF the shade as

sill, or of the ribbon is tied on the
handle in full loops, and q loop OF

and are covered with black taffeta silk.
For the country are cotton satteen and
bingham parasols in large figures and
plaids. with either short or long ham
dies. India silk is also prettily mount
ed for parasols to match the summer
dress with which it is worn. Small
turned-oyer shades for use in early
spring are made up of silks, or they
have lace covers all in one piece in the
fashion of long ago. -Harper's Bazaar.
