A PROFITABLE BUSINESS.

How Son Convinced lis Father of His
ComncrciLl Entcrpri5c.
There is young man here in Now
York. says the Star, who da5blcJ some
what in artistic and literary pursuits,
and who occasionally buys and sells q
picture. Sometimes when he visits
some OF tho interior cities he takes
thrcc or four pictures with him, which
no manages to dispose Of at q comfort
able profit. The young mans father,
who lives in an Eastern Ohio town, and
who has no Gympathy with what no
terms the vagGboTd pursuits of his son,
often useu to adlnonjsh aim that ho was
getting to DO such tsll ,.3C that he ought
to settle down to ''9omc legitimate buGi-
moss"
Really" ho asked one day, faro you
making any money Gt ALP"
ooh, can't complain" answered tho
son; Il manage to pay expenses"
Soon after tho young man unpackcd
his valisc and showed tho old gentle
man some pictures he was taking on out
West with him. Ono Of them particu-
larly attracted tho father, who asked
the priCo of it.
ooh, $500 for that, but if you would
like to have it I'll mako il $50"
Tho father gavc o check for tho
amount ana was greatly dolIghted with
his purchase
Tn afraid, though, that you Gro not
making any thing OH this picturo?"
'Oh, yes, I'm making fair profit on
my Investment"
Tho next day, as no walked to tho
train tho old gentleman said: Now,
you know 1 feel the greatest possible
interest in your affairs and your sue
cess. Tell mo what you made on that
picture j bought from YOU"
''On that picture 1 mado just 1926"
Tho old gentleman was silent for two
whole blocks and thon no calculated:
"Well, it isn't such drcadtully bad
business you arc in after all. l guess
you'll get along"

THE PATIALA MINT.
Methods of Making Money Employed by
East Indian WorISnlcn.

Captain Temple, in an article on tho
coins Of modern Punjnub chiefs in tho
Indian Antiquary, describes the Patiala
Mint and tho mcthouo of mintinG prac-
tlccd thcrc. The mint, ho SAYS, is an
ordinary Punjaub courtyard, about
twenty feet square in the open part, en-
tered by . gateway leading into q small
apartment doing duty as an entrance
hall, the remainder OF the courtyard be-
ing surrounded by low sheds opening in
to it. These buildings which look lillo
tho ''roorns' Of ScrGi, arc the work.
shops. Tho method OF coming in this
very primitive mint" is described as
follows: Tho silver after being assay
ed is cast into small bars by being run
into groovcd iron molds. Tho melt
ing is dono in tho courtyard in
very small quantities in little fur
naces inproviscd for each occasion.
Tho thickness OF the bars is about the
diameter CT tho rupee, and when cold
they arc cut up by a hammer and chiscl
by gucssworll into small weights, and
weighed in snail balances rs accurately
as hand-wcighing will permit. These
arc aftcrward heated and rounded by
hammcring into dies, and again
weighed by hand and corrected by
small additions Of silver hammered in
cold or by scraping. After this tho
disc IS handed over to tho professional
weiGhcr, who finally weighs it Ly hand
and passes it. 1t 10 then stamped by
hGmmcring, being put between two iron
dies placed III q strong, wooden frame.
These dies arc very much larger than
the coins, SO that only u portion Of tho
legend can como OF, and tho coincr3 arc
not at all careful rs to how much ap-
pears on the coin. Tho only ching they
do is to try and mako tho particular
mark of the rcigning chici appear. If
they do not succeed, it docs not matter
much"

The Art Amaicar says Of this book
"'In Fair Country is pleasing sclcc-
tions of essays from the Outdoor Papers
Of Thomas Wentworth Higginson, ono Of
the most agreeable Of living New England
writers. They are illustrated by Miss Irene
E. Jeromes naive and charming designs.
Miss Jerome owes more TO her innate sense
Of beauty than any school could teach her.
Her drawings Of May flowers, OF the early
warbler on the building maple twig, Of the
nodding hepaticas, the bluebirds perched
on an apple bough among the blossoms, Of
meadows, bouquets, and rocky uplands in
April DAYS are the next best thing TO the
reality. Ny Outdoor Study has pictures
Of red lilies and dragon.hy, Of island-dotted
lakes, Of clematis vines, iris, and water
grass. In Bird Life the wild cherry, the
orioles nest, the song sparrow singing his
anthem from the top Of stake twined about
with morning glOries, the scarlet tanager in
his green recess, and the cardinal grosbeak
on his alder twig over the brook, are only a
few of many charming studies. The Pro-
cession Of the Flowers is made to pass be-
fore our eyes, from the moccasin flower 10
the autumnal fringed gentan and the win
ter blooming hazel branch. The volume
ends with the essay on Snow which il, as
il we're. lined with ermine, in the shape Of
drawings Of winter woods and winter birds.

lie Cleaned Up the O1ice.

David Pitchard used 10 edits weekly
newspaper in little town not hundred
miles from Cleveland. 1t did not require
all Dawes time to write the editorials, SO
he hunted up the local news, helped stick
type, and or press days took his turn at
the hand-press, just for exercise. One
day Dave was looking over the ex-
changes and ever and anon cutting out
squares and parallelograms, when in came
n sirapping big fellow whose scowling
countenance and careless manner of shut
ting the door would have convinced the
uuinitiated that he was after satisfaction.
Dave laid down his paper, stuck the scis-
sors in his pocket and smilingly said'
Good morning, sir"
"That amt got Id bit Of bearin ON
the object of my visit; I'm in here to clean
out this Office"
"Good boy you are just the man I'm
looking for; you'll find broom and
sprinkler behind the door. Don't make
any more dust than you can help"
"Old luny, you think I'm joking, do
you? 1t won't be more'n small num-
orator with big denominator fraction OF
second till you'll know that I'm as Sc
rious as a death sentence. The kind OF
renovatin' that I'm about to do for you is
to shake out your forms, stir up your gal
leys, and paint a nimbus cloud over them
lynx eyes of yours. That's what's goin'
to engage my attention for the next half
an hour" and the big fellow kicked the
paper-cutter over and distributed gal
ley of dead "ads" over the floor.
"You will find broom behind the
door, my accommodating friend" said
Dave, raising n heavy six-shooter, "and
you may take said broom and clean out
this Office according to your first PROPOSE
ton, and the better you do your work the
lighter III pull on this trigger see?'
Drop that mortar; | was only jok-
in ;" said the big fellow, trying to avoid
the range of the gun.
Freeze onto that broom"
Il made mistake; this amt the den
lists office, is it?"
Work that sweeping machine"
"Pve been drinking
Operations must begin in half a Sec
ond."
"My little girls sick and she's cryin for
her father"
an a quarter of a second the devil will
have form to carry out
"Pity my crippled wife,
"And this paper will get the first scoop
of the accident"
"Hold on hold on III sweep her
upw And the fellow seized the broom and
made the dirt Fly like street cleaner.
When he had flushed Dave escorted him
to the street, and after making him prom
ise to call again babe him goodbye.

Dirie's Sir Cents.

One day pale-faced little girl walked
hurriedly into a bookstore in Annasbury,
and said to a mau serving at the counter;
please, sir, l want book that's got 'sut-
fer little children to come to me- in IL;
and how much is it, sir? am in great
hurry"
The shopman bent down and busted his
spectacles.
"And suppose haven't the book you
want, what then, my dear?
90. sir, I shall be sorry want it SO
much !" and the little voice trembled at
there being chance of disappointment.
The kind shopman took the thin hand
of his small customer in his own. "Will
you be very sad without the book? And
why are you in such hurry
"WelI, sir, you see went to school on
Sunday when Mrs. West, who takes care
of me, was away; and the teacher read
about good Shepherd who said those
words; and l want to go there. I'm so
tired of being where there's nobody to
care for little girl like me, only Mrs
West, who says I'd better be dead than
alive"
"But why are you in such a hurry
"My cough is getting SO bad now, sir,
and want to know all about him before
| die; 'twould be so strange to see him
and not know him. Besides, if Mrs. West
knew | was here she would take away the
six cents I've saved, running messages to
buy the book with; so I'm in a hurry TO
get served"
The bookseller wiped his eyes very Wig
orously this time, and lifting book from
off the shelf, he said "I'll find the words
you want, my little girl; come and list
en-"
Then he read the words of the loving
Saviour recorded in Luke xviii. 16-get
your Bible and find the place-and told
how this good Shepherd had got home
all light and rest and love, prepared for
those who love and serve him.
80 how lovelyw was the half-hreathless
exclamation of the little listener, "And
he says, Come I'll go to him. How
long do you think it may be, sir, before
| see him ?'
"Not long, perhaps" said the shopkeep-
er, turning away his head.
"You shall keep the six cents and come
here every day, while read You some
more from this book"
Thanking him, the child hurried away
Many days passed, but she never came
again. One day loud-voiced, untidy
woman ran into the shop and said:
"Dixie's dead. She died rambling
about the good Shepherd, and she said
YOU was 20 have the six cents for the mis-
sion-box at school. Here ii s." and she
ran out OF the shop.
The cents went into the box, and when
the story of Dixie was told so many fol
lowed her example with their cents that
at the end of the year "Dixie's cents" as
they were called, were found to be suffi
cient to send missionary to China.

A serious charge has been made against
Mt. St. Elias, in Alaska. For some time
ugly rumors have been current about the
Alaskan mountains lofty claims, but now
the official figures of the United States
Geological Surveys explorers prove be-
yond doubt that instead of being any
where from $4,000 feet to 19,500 feet
high, and therefore the boss mountain Of
the continent, its real height is no more
than IS 300 feet. This is a great come
down for mountain that has been lord
Ing it over all the peaks and pinnacles Of
North America. There are now more
than half dozen peaks in the Rocky
Mountains proper that oyertop St. Elias.
1t is a little rough to rob Alaska of one
of her lions-she has so few-but she will
have to fall back upon the cold comfort
