THERE are, perhaps, comparatively
few persons aware of the fact that of
the entire coinage of the United States
Philadelphia, as a city, and the Phila-
delphia Mint, as an institution, have
the honor of producing above 80 per
cent. The total silver coinage of the
United States for each month aggre-
gates nearly $2,500,00O, and of this
amount Philadelphia produces 81, $780,
900.

BURMESE OIL MILLS.
a Primitive aud Dangerous Method Of
Securing Petroleum.


Securing Petroleum.
DR.. Noetling, of the Indian Geological
Survey, to whose report on the petrole-
um deposits of Burmah reference has
already been made, givos an interesting
description of the native mothod of dig.
ging the wells. AS soon as native has
made up his mind whore he is going tc
have new well, the workmen, usually
four in number, begin to dig square
| shaft, the sides of which measure be-
tween four feet and four feet six inches
| Over this pit a crossJ5eam, supported or
stanchions at either side, is placed, In
the center of which is q small wooden
drum or cylinder, which, with its axis,
is made of single piece OF wood, the
! latter running on coarse fork-shaped sup
ports. The leather rope used in hauling
up the oil passes over the drum, and on
it is fastened the workman who is going
| to be lowered down, as well as the COM
mon earthenware pot in which the oil is
drawn up. If possible the well Is SC
placed that the men or women drawing
the rope walk down an inclined plane
along the slope of hill. The tools en-
ployed in digging are quite primitive
and can only be used in soft strata.
Timber is used to support the walls of
the shaft, and the latter is lined with
wood. This wooden wall has consider
able strength, but it has to be carefully
watched lest it should give way.
The workmen are lowered in an in
genious way. The man sits on two slings
formed of strong rope running between
his legs and knotted over his left shoul-
der. To prevent sliding, thin rope
runs down from the knot, across the
breast, underneath the right shoulder
to the back, where it is fastened to the
rope forming the sings A second rope
, for the same purpose is fastened around
the hips. On account of the explosive
gas filling the shaft no light can be
taken down; the workman, therefore,
ties up his eyes previously to descending
so as to enable him to see during the
short time he is in the we'll, otherwise
it would take him longer to accustom
his eyes to the darkness than he is able
to stay down on account of the gas;
which renders breathing difficult. The
data obtained by DR.. Noetling as to the
time occupied in the ascent and descent,
| and the period during which the laborer
can remain below, show that not 25 per
cent. of the total working time is really
spent in extracting the oil. Two hum
dred and ninety seconds is the longest
time any man, however strong, can re-
main below without becoming uncon-
scious, while in some he can only re-
main sixty seconds. With increasing
depths the difficulties in obtaining the
oil after the Burmese methods become
insuperable. Hence the limit is 80
feet, and the workers object to more
than $50 feet. The drawing up of the
oil is as primitive as-every thing else.
Tho rope is fastened round the neck of
the ball-shaped pot and, being lowered,
is allowed to fill by sinking in the oil
below Tho oil thus raised is poured
into another pot of the same shape, but
much larger, and twelve of these are
packed on each country cart.-London

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

In the purest air subjected 4, test
| for the causes which produce the dim
| ming effect of maze there were about
"a, 900 dust PARTICLES found in each cubic
inch.
in tanning by electricity the ordi-
nary tan liquid is employed, and the
hides revolve Slowly through it,while the
current from dynamo traverses the
vat and helps the tannin to combine
with the gelatine of tho skin.
When Sir j. Herschel was defending
/ the character of astronomical science in
view Of an error of nearly 100000 miles
in estimating the suns distance, the COR
rection was shown to apply to an error of
observation so small as to be equivalent
to the apparent breadth of a human hair
at distance of 125 feet.
"A new sort of boot sole has been
introduced in Nuremberg, consisting of
a sort of trellis of spiral metal wire, and
the interstices being filled with gutta
percha and rosin. They can be fitted
with nails like ordinary soles, are fifty
per cent cheaper than leather and vastly
more durable.
-Signor Schiaperelli, the eminent
astronomer of Milan, after ten years of
careful observation, has settled the point
that Mercury has rotation exactly like
that of the moon; that is to say, its rota-
ton on its own axis and around the sun
synchronize so that it always turns the
same side to the sum- just as the moon
does to the earth.
DR.. Dubinslxi, of Kronstadt (Russia),
reports that within the last ten years
| thirty cases have come under his OBJ
servation of a peculiar ophthalmic affec-
tion occurring in young sailors whose
duty had obliged them to remain and
sleep in the vicinity of electric lights.
He calls the affection 'photo-electrical
ophthalmia. 1t occasions partial blind
ness and renders light intolerable. What
| B most singular is that sleep appears to
be an indispensable condition for the
manifestation of photo-electrical op-
! thalmia.
One of the most striking of the Edi-
son exhibits, at the Paris Exposition,
was the little instrument which enables
an operator to sign a check one hundred
miles distant. The writing to be trans
mitted is impressed on soft paper with
an ordinary stylus. This is mounted on a
cylinder, which, as it revolves, "makes

means of the varying indentations on
the paper. AT the receiving end of the
wire, similar cylinder, moving in accu-
rate synchronism with the other, re-
ceives the current on a chemically pre-
pared paper, on which it transcribes the
signatures in black letters on white
ground.
"A curious and noteworthy instance
of foundry work is reported. 1t con-
sisted of three plates of cast-iron about
one-fourth of an inch, and seven by five
inches in surface, covered with writing
indented in the iron. The impression
, on the iron is made by writing on thin
paper, pinning the paper in the mold,
and then pouring on the iron. The
writing thus transferred to the plates
when the iron is cooled is wonderfully
clear and distinct, and is SO deeply
imprinted as to defy any attempt at
erasure.

AMERICAN SERVANTS.
The Root of the Discomfort Existing
Among Them, as "A Glass.

The Root of the Discomfort Existing
Among Them, as "A Glass.
To those, who from physical inability,
or excess of cares, are obliged to keep
help, the servant-girl question is Il try
ing one. The very spirit which our
land inculcates, freedom and independ-
ence, has taken possession of the average
American servant girl, and we suffer for
our own doctrines. In England, girls
are sent out to service at the age of
thirteen or fourteen, and generally
begin their apprenticeship as dishwash-
ers or scullery maids. When older and
more experienced. they are promoted to
cooks helpers, or if neat and capable,
are made parlor maids, mattresses or
house-maids. They have to work very
hard and generally do not have but one
Sunday afternoon and evening in the
month, to spend as they like. The
maids-of-all-work do more than two
American servant girls. as they do every
thing, from backing the masters boots,
to cooking his dinner. Many English
lodging-house servants are really slaves,
and yet they are content. They work
from five o'clock in the morning till
eleven at night. They are often taken
from the workhouse, and the fear of
heing sent back is probably the reason
OF their contentment. In Germany do
mestic service is honorable. and the
young women of poorer classes are anx-
ious to get work in good families. These
German girls are expected to be good
cooks and good laundresses when taking
Iheir first place.
Domestics are better treated in Amor
lea than elsewhere. In many cases this
is the root of the discomfort. Many
ladies, if they have an intelligent girl,
are inclined to tell them too much of
their own affairs. Such confidence es-
tablishes familiarity which sooner or
later "breeds contempt" Most girls are
pleased to have their mistress show an
interest in their affairs and it is good
plan. if one has the opportunity without
being obtrusive, to compliment their
yourself to a certain extent in their
pleasures and inquire occasionally in
regard to their parents or friends, for
love of kin Is a strong element in most
of the working classes. Never scold
servant, no matter how trying the Of
tense. In fact, no one who calls them
celf a lady should ever scold. If things
go wrong, as they often do, speak firmly
and insiston their being done differently,
but do not say too much.
Sympathy and affection bring affec-
tion; truthfulness causes truth. and kind
dealing makes honest serving.-Home.

AN INDIAN TRADITION.
How the Proportions of the First Woman
We're Reduced by IL Red Adam.

How the Proportions of the First Woman
Were Reduced by IA Red Adam.
The early Indian tribes who inhabited
the hills of Mount Desert, Maine, be-
lieved that the Garden of Eden was sit
uated on that spot at one time. AT the
present day portion of the island is
called Eden. The Adam of these simple
red men, the primeval father OF all the
red men in America, according to the
bcliefs of these Mount Desert aborig-
ines, was a man with golden hair and
eyes like the hazel berries; he was tall
and of great beauty. The Mother Eve,
who came to him just when his loneli-
ness was becoming insupportablc, first
appeared coming through the clouds.
Her first exclamation at seeing him WAS
the Indian for 80 dear!" She at once
cut off his golden locks and began to
weave them into strong cord,
which grew larger as she proceeded.
After she had finished the cord,
which was more of a rope than cord,
she was confronted by Monicho, the goo,
of evil designs, who tried to catch her
and to hold her, but could not. In her
headlong flight from the man of evil,
she dropped the cord of hair, which
Monicho picked up and carried back to
tho one from whose hair 1t had been
woven. In delivering up the cord he
commanded the man to take it and bind
the woman, lest she keep growing and
exceed in size all other creatures. This
red Adam, quite human-like, coaxed tho
woman to his side and bound her with
his own hair as commanded by Monicho.
Still sho grew and exceeded both Adam
and Monicho in height and weight. AT
last, however, her fast-growing proper
tions were reduced by niggardly work
and starvation. While boing put through
a strict course to reduce her size TO that
becoming woman, she was made to
search for bread grain, and in the
course of her explorations discovered
maize, the common corn of to-day.
Since that time all Indian women
have been made to toll. lest they grow
up to be giant Amazonians and wrest
tho power from their self-styled lords
and masters.-St. Louis Republic.

The Discipline of Judgment.

There is probably no human faculty
that is more in need of faithful and pa.
tient cultivation than the Judgment for
there is none that has more complica-
tions to deal with or more difficulties to
overcome. Nevertheless there is per-
haps none which receives less systematic
discipline or upon which people gener-
ally are less willing to expend labor
and thought. They train their chill
dren's memory, exercise their powers of
expression, school them in habits of
industry, endurance, patience and self
control, but seldom discipline their
Judgment or teach them how to draw
correct conclusions. That, they sup
pose, is something which time and ex
perience will do for them; yet, whe,
they see what hasty opinions and i'll
advised judgments are continually
formed by older people, they might in
fer that some definite education In this
respect was necessary for both young
and old.-N. Y. Ledger.

CHEESE AS FOOD.
1t Should Not Be Eaten Until After II
Has Been Cooked.


| Has Been Cooked.
Much difference of opinion has pre-
vailed in regard to the value of cheese as
food, but we are beginning to get at real
| facts with better understanding of the
relations of the digestive functions to
| food elements. Cheese has been much
| lauded by many because of the great
| amount of nutritive food elements it
contains, and people have been urged
| indiscriminately to eat it freely, some
enthusiasts making the most extrava-
CANT claims for it as health diet. But
many people who have sought to follow
this counsel find themselves speedily
the victims of indigestion and dyspep-
sia. They would consider it little short
of treason to charge their disordered
digestion to the cheese, but the truth is
the cheese is the most probable cause in
any such case. Although, so far as it's
constituents are concerned, cheese is
fairly entitled to its fame as q model
food, yet in raw cheese these constitu-
ents are very difficult of solution by the
digestive juices--that is, raw cheese is
| indigestible to degree that makes it
unavailable as food except to the strong
est and healthiest stomaohs, and should
not be eaten by any one who finds on
trial that it gives his stomach the least
discomfort 1t is found, however, that
cooking the cheese removes this diff
Guilty and makes cheese easy of diges-
tion, and as nutritious as tender meat
and more SO. Various methods havs
been adopted for this purpose, from
plain broiling, frying or toasting to the
most elaborate compound dishes. The
main point is to get the cheese cooked
so that the stomach can digest it.-Good
Housekeeping.
