LOST ILLUSIONS.

This is the fairy forest of my dream,
Where heroes rode in glittering arrnor digit
And the tall trees in the pale moonshiae seem
To whisper tales of long ago. tonight.
Methinks the flowers are hushed in Sleep nor see
The mystic symbols which upon the moss
The white moon casts through yonder s,vayiny
tree
Where in solitary search must cross
1t is the same old fairy forest STILL
But where are all the heroes dressed in gold!
And where the nymphs who beckoned me until
Thought them real-ere yet the world was old?
seek them now. but they etude my quest;
Lost dreams Of youth and faith are ne'er re-
stored; -
For myself am he whose hands did wrest
The substance from the visions adored

Burne-Jones' Greatest Work.

According to the London correspond
ent of The Liverpool Post, Mr. Burne.
Jones is nearly approaching the compile
ton of the greatest work of his life. 1t
is a commission ne undertook many
years ago for Mr.. Agnew, and upon
which he has bestowed an infinitude of
loving care. The subject is found in the
old legend of the Briary Rose, which
Tennyson put into verse nearly sixty
years ago.
Every one knows the story as told
In the dainty verse of The Day Dream,
with its pictures of the sleeping palace,
the sleeping beauty, the arrival Of the
fairy prince with Joyful eyes, and
lighter footed than the fox" how he
broke the charm that Tapped his love in
sleep and how:
Over the hills and far away
Beyond their 9;Erosi purple I'm.
And deep icro the dying 3Ay

Mr.. Burne-Jonas tells the story in his
own way in four pictures of colossal pro-
portion and infinite beauty. The work
Is SO far forward that there Is hope of its
being exhibited 10 Bond ss<eek next year.

How Dimes Are Made.

The process of dime making is an inter
esting one. The silver bullion is first melt
ed and run into two-pound bars. These in
turn are run through immense rollers, and
fiattened out to the thickness Of the coin.
These silver strips are then passed through
a machine which cuts them into round
disks of the exact dimensions of the coin,
ready for the presses. the strips first having
been treated with a kind of tallow to pre-
vent their being scratched in their passage
through the cutters. The silver blanks are
then put into the feeder of the stamping
presses, and are fed to the die by automatic
machinery at the rate of 100 per minute
1900 being turned out III regular working
days of l. hours.
As the smooth blanks are pressed between
the ponderous printing dies they receive the
lettered and figured impression in man
ner similar to TINT of paper pressed upon q
form of type; at the same time the piece II
expanded in a slight degree. by which tht
milling is formed on the rim. The ma
chine drops tine completed coin into re
ceiver. and il is ready for the counter
hands. The instrument used by the countel
is not complicated machine by any means
as one might suppose. II is simple cop

on the board or tray, and as it is shaken
rapidly by the counter. the pieces settle
down into the space between the ridges.
All these spaces being filled, the surplus
coin is brushed back into the receiver, and
the counter has exactly 1850 silver dimes, or
$l25, on the tray, which number it requires
to fill the spaces. The tray is emptied into
the boxes, and the money is then ready for
shipment. The dime does not pass through
the hands of the weigher as does the coin OF
a larger denomination. One and one-half
grains are allowed for variance or "toler-
ance'' in all silver coin from dollar down,
and the deviation from the standard in the
case of the 10 cent pieces is SO trifling that
the trouble and expense of weighing the
coin Of this denomination are dispensed
with and Builder,
