Making Nickels and Pennies.

The copper used in the manufacture
of pennies is of the very best quality,
and is from the Calumet & Hecla Min
ing Company on Lake Superior. The
metal is shipped in bulk from the mines
to the factories of Merchant g. Co., in
Connecticut.
There it is rolled and stamped out in
circles of the requisite size, say the
Philadelphia Inquirer. These circles
are perfectly plain, with the exception
of the raised or milled edge. AT this
stage the pieces intended for pennies
are as bright as gold pieces, while
those intended for. nickels resemble
highly polished silver. In this condi-
ton they are 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 package is reckoned by its weight
To find out how many small coins the
amount of nickel and copper contract
ed for at 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 80, 900 nickels and
100, 900 pennies. One hundred pen
MES, therefore, weigh exactly one
pound.
When these pieces reach the mint
they are subjected to the finishing pro-
cess, which consists in stamping them
with the denomination, lettering and
characters seen on the coins, when
they reach the public. To accomplish
this great pressure is needed, as the
pieces are not heated again after leav-
ing the factory.
The amount of pressure required is
simply enormous, considering the size
of the pieces. The copper pennie re-
quire pressure of ten tons avoirdu-
pois, while with the nickel pieces it is
necessary to put on apressure of from
twelve to fifteen tons.

She Was UnweIcOme.

We once took in wedding at which
the only attendant besides the grooms-
man and bridemaid was a stout, de-
ermined-looking, elderly female, who
did not come up with the wedding
party to the altar rails, but seated her
self in one of the choir stalls not far off,
says a writer in Chambers Journal.
We observed that both bride and BRIDE
groom looked at her with very dis
quieted chances. Once or twice we
noticed that the elderly female seemed
to be about to make a move, especially
at that part of the service when possible
opponents are requested to ''speak or
else forever hereafter hold their peace. !"
When the service was over we in
quired of this good dame why she had
come to the wedding. I'm the girls
mother" was the reply, "and l came
to prevent the business"
We naturally asked why she hadn't
prevented the business" and we found
that the thought had struck her at the
last moment that ''they might do worse
than get married after ALL We have
often since thought of what must have
been the agitated feelings of that bride
and bridegroom until the irrevocable
words were said over them.

A Strange Story.

j. B. Toomer recently told the
Athens (Ga.) Banner the following
story that is as singular as it is in
teresting:
About five mile from Aiken, S. c.,
on the Charleston dirt road and in
sight of the railway, is little place
that was first christened pole Cat"
but afterwards changed to Mont
morenci, the French for that odorous
little animal. Many years ago a young
woman came with her pitcher to draw
bucket of water from a well at Mont
morenci, and set the vessel on a stone
post that some of the railroad men had
moved there. While drawing the
water flash of lightning came that
struck the chain to which the we'll
bucket was attached and the woman
was killed in her tracks. Her remains
were removed, but the pitcher was left
just where the dead girl had set it. To
this day the pitcher remains in the
same place, and so far from being re-
moved it is said that no living hand
has ever touched it save its owners, al
though near the side of the public road.
But the most wonderful thing is the
superstition to the pitcher. There is
an indescribable influence surrounding
it that prevents its touch. Hundreds
of people have gone with the firm de-
termination of lifting the pitcher, but
when they approach it a strange re-
pugnance comes over them and they
hurriedly depart without carrying out
the object of their visit. One night
bully in the neighborhood, while under
the influence of whisky, made a
bet with some friends that he would go
and bring back the pitcher. He left to
do so, but soon returned as pale as a
sheet and empty-handed. Boys" he
remarked, mo person alive can lay
hands on that pitcher, and | wouldn't
attempt it again for the whole of Aiken
county" He refused to tell his ex-
perience, and said that he would not
talk about the matter. Other parties
have gone to see it, but meet with the
same repulsive feelings. As soon as
they would step off few feet the sem
sation would leave them. Parties have
frequently amused themselves throw
ing stones at the pitcher, and when
almost in its reach the missiles seemed
to glide around it.
Mr.. Toomer tells us that the other
day when he passed this spot with his
wife he got out and tried his markham
ship with brickbats, and, while a pretty
accurate thrower, he met with no sue
cess-that he had IS well try to knock
down a sunbeam with rock. Mr..
Toomer further stated that he had been
passing this pitcher for years, and al
WAYS fOund if in the same Mace on The
post. Before reaching it he would firm
ly make up his mind to remove the
vessel, but when he approached it he
experienced the same repugnance to
touching it as an uncanny object. The
old well from which the dead girl was
drawing water has long been filled up,
and no signs of it remain. Mr.. Toomer
is an entirely reliable gentleman.
