She Was No Woman,

from the New York Graphic.
There is a lawyer with an office in

as a man who never loses his temper

perately busy the other day when IL

vate office: and as she advanced from
the door announced her mission.

something of the kind before, for she
didn't pause in her progress toward
the lawyers desk.

Still the agent cameon.
"Madam )" cried the lawyer in des.
peration, 81 am engaged, and if you
don't go away you will force me to

That settled the agent. Probably
the very vagueness of the threat
helped to set her to retreating. But

Making NIckeIs And Pennles.

The copper used in the manufac
ture Of pennies is of the very best
quality, and is from the Calumet &
Hecla Mining Company on Lake Su-
pcrior. The METALS shipped in bulk
from the mines to the factories Of
Merchant 4 Co., in Connecticut.
There it is rolled and stamped out
in circles OF the requisite size, snys
the Philadelphia Inquirer. These
circles IRE perfectly plain, with the
exception ofthelaised or milled edge.
At this stnge the pieces intended for
pennies are as bright as gold pisces,
while those Intended for nickels re-
semble highly polished silver. In
this condition they IRE delivered to
the mint. Of course, it is absolutely
necessary that all the pieces should
be OF uniform size and weight.
The transfer from the factory to
the mint is made, and the number of
pieces in n puckagc is rcckoned by its
weight. To find out how many small
coins the amount Of nickel and cop
per contracted for Mt present will
make, multiply the number of pounds
OF copper by 100 and the number of
pounds of nickel by seventy.
This calculation will show that the
metal now about to be made up into
coin will make $4,000 nickels and
100000 pennies. One hundred pen
MES. therefore, weigh exactly one
pound.
When these pieces reach the mint
they arc subject to the finishing pro.
cess. which consistsi in stamping them

characters seen on the coins, when

that mysterious excavations had

WAS at once aroused. The emperor

and he works under the superintend-

A Hard Man To Catch

The most remarkable counterfciter
atpresent living. SD Il Washington
Starreporter was informed, has been
keeping the hi,ed States secret SER
vice in such IL condition Of cXaspcr-
alton TOR long lime past that no
trouble or expense would be consider
ed excessive Tor the accomplishment
Of his capture. And this. although
he produces on an average not more
than two bogus notes in Il year. The
remarkable thing about these imitn-
tions are that they are executed en-
tirely witha pen. Once in six months,
almost as regularly as clockwork
one Of them turns up Mt the treasury
here, to hcdisgust OF III government
detectives, whose utmost efforts cam
not discovers much as Il clew to fol
low. The s,rnngest point about the
matteris that the work of producing
the bills in this fashion, merely con
sidered az aGuestion Of labor, rcmun-
erative or otherwise. cannot possibly
pay, they are always either tiities or
twenties. and to make one must re-
quire pretty constant toll for quite
llalf,l year. The last one. which was
received Il few days ago. WAS double
y.
Funny enough they come each time
from IL different city, and the SUPPOSE
ton is that the torGcr leaves town
for another locality Immediately mp
on passing one. He gets rid OF the
note he has just completed, which
may remain in circulation for some
time before reaching Il bank. and de
parts long before the police agents
have chance to arrive upon the
scene. The most plausible theory
seemsto be that he is II monomnninc
OF means. &ho gratitics II morbid
taste in this astonishing way. His
imitation bills are so perfectly done
that na one short ola professional
expert woult. hesitate to take them
forgood money. From The vignettes
to the signatures the work is perform
ell with an accuracy that bears scru-
tiny with IL powerful ma@niiying
glass. In all likelihood the reason
why the notes are not made oil larger
denominations is that they would be
proportionately more difficult to
pass. One can imagine that this &C.
centric counterieiter INDUCES in the
employment simply for the "ratifica-
ton OF his vanity. 1t is not improb-
able that he himself has been shown
the frame at the treasury building in
which two specimens OF his handi-
work are shown by polite attendants
to visitors as the most extraordinary
samples OF iorgeries in The govern
ment collertion. Anyway he goes on
turning out he bills at regular inter-
walls of six months, thus orcnsionin@

CURED in Milton, Upper Canada,
where well digger sunk into quick
sand up to his knees. The windlass
rope was promptly placed around
him, but it was soon discovered that
if the effort to pull him out was per-
servered in. his legs would be torn
off. Accordingly an attempt was
made to dig him out, and men with
shovels worked uninterruptedly for
six hours to accomplish that end,
which was successfully achieved
