A Gold Mine on o Roof.

Three thousand dollars for an old tin
roof would be pretty steep price, but the
man who gets the battered roof from the
old Tabernacle church at Broad street and
South Penn square, which is now being
torn away, for that sum will be in great
luck. Some years ago the paint was
scraped off the old roof and yielded IS, 600
in fi0e gold. 1t is almost certain to yield
as much this time. The gold comes from
the mint.
When gold is being coined a consider
able quantity of it volatilizes with the
smoke through the chimney, and as soon
as it strikes the air it falls Much OF it falls
on the roof of the mint, 80 much OF it that
tho officials save even the water that falls
upon it during shower. All the drains
from the roof are connected with large vats
in the cellar of the mint. Before the water
finally gets to the sewer it Is strained
through many blankets and sieves which
retain the gold.
Notwithstanding all these precautions
the gold that Is annually washed into the
Delaware from the mint is worth thou
sands of dollars. Every particle of dirt
swept up about the mint is carefully stored
away with the washings from the roof
and once every year it is sold to the high
est bidder, as 1t cannot be used ut the mint

pure Olive OIL from California.

The convention Of olive oil producers,
recently assembled in this city, took a de-
tided stand for pure, homemade oil. This
stand was not taken day too soon. When
a few months ago some official tests were
made of the purity of olive oil it was
found that some brands, or rather certain
lots, had already been adulterated. The
temptation is very strong to keep spuri-
Gus article on the market. Cottonseed oil
and some other vegetable oils will always
be cheaper than pure olive oil. The i'm
ported article is continually sold at lower
price than that produced at home
The Area suited to olive culture in this
country has never been accurately defined.
In general terms it may be said to include
the country on the western side OF the
Sierras, below az degs OF latitude, down to
and including parts of Arizona and New
Mexico. Beyond this territorial area it Is
not probable that the olive will make much
of a figure. Indeed, there is a strong proba-
bility that for at least whole generation
the only state in the Union that will get
much commercial prominence for the pro
duction of the olive will be California.
The growers who have already become
producers here are pioneers. Olive orchards
have been planted almost as freely during
| the last two or three years as apple orplun
orchards The area of olives not now IL
bearing is greater than that in fruitaSe
The planting will go on in coming seasons
because there is satisfactory evidence tina
the business will be a paying one. Tn

Ginseng in Commerce.

The trade in ginseng is revival OF one
that formerly existed. In the autumn OF
1716 Pere Joseph Francois Lafitan, Jesuit
father, who had arrived in the country in
1712, and was stationed at the Sault, above
Montreal, discovered the plant. He had
been in Quebec in 1715, and there saw
letter of Pere Jartoux, who had seen gin
seng in Tartary in 1900, and who gave a
description of it. Lafitan inquired about
it from the Indians, and examined the
country to find it.
At this time it was worth its weight in
gold at Pekin. A company was formed to
export it to China, Japan and Tartary.
The price at Quebec was from thirty to
forty sous or cents per pound. At first
any one was allowed to sell it, but as its
value increased the company exercised its
monopoly rights, and in 1751 undertook to
exclude all others from the trade. AS the
demand increased the care with which it
was obtained and prepared was relaxed.
It was gathered out Of season and imper
fectly dried in stove ovens. Even in this
state it brought twenty-five livres pei
pound.
In 1859 ginseng of this character to the
value of 100000 livres was exported. In
1854 the value Of the export had fallen to
3S, 900 livres. A quantity sent to La Ro-
chelle remained unsold, but finally fount
its way to China, where its inferior quality
gave the Canadian article bad reputa
ton; the demand fell off and the export
ceased.-J. Jones Bell in Popular Scienc'
Monthly

FIRST STORY.

Here is a plan which shows how four
comfortable dwellings may be arranged on
the same site that is usually given to
double house. The drawing shows one-half
of the house. AS double house this plan
would be duplicated. The apartments on
each floor are complete in themselves, each
apartment containing five rooms. Those
living on second story pass on one side OF
the porch, which is rallied off especially for
them. On the second floor there is small
hall which leads into four rooms. There is
a bedding closet in the hall, one closet in
the dining room, two in the living room
and one in each of the bedrooms. From the
dining room we pass to the attic. This attic
serves the same general purpose in the way
of storage as does the cellar OF the lower
apartment The kitchens are not large, but
they contain everything which contributes
toconvenient and economical kitchen work.
| In speaking of economy in this direction, it
| is intended to express economy in labor.
| Nearly every woman who does housework
is overworked; she has too much to do.
| Large kitchens without proper convent
ences have not little to do with this state
of affairs In plan of this kind there
should always be conveniences ready at
hand-a sink for the discharge of slop
water, a proper supply of hot and cold
water by the mere turning OF a faucet
kitchen tables near at hand and range
which carries off the heat from the kitchen
is the best that may be expected in the way
Of labor saving devices, unless we bear II
mind the reduced size of the room.

A MODEL TENEMENT.

H.r. Il. One That VIII BE ProatAbIs Both
to Owners and TenAnts-
Copyright. lsol. by American Press AssociA-
tion.l
Tks very large majority Of people live In
uncomfortable quarters. Relatively few
people are comfortably housed. This is true
all over the world. though probably less
true In America than elsewhere, yet the
general statement Us first made Is exaet. A
certain portion OF the people Of every COM
munity have comfortable and convenient
surroundings, many live In sQualOr and
Others are surrounded by many uncom-
Portable features 1t Is worthy OF the best
efforts Of our best architects that they con-
slider matters OF this character.
It is more a matter of general ignorance
in regard 70 the question Of house planning
than carelessness on this subject which Is
the cause OF the lamentable condition. We
hear of many efforts to build model ten
ements which are followed by only few
records of successes. The reasons for this
are that the efforts in this direction are
frequently spasmodic, hasty, i'll considered.
Philanthropic building work does not
always receive the same cold business at
tention that comes to general commercial
work. A building which does not pay @
certain respectable sum on the amount in
vested is not regarded in the light OF Q
business undertaking, for which reason Il
soon passes beyond business care.

The Origin Of Three Balls.

Three reasons are given to account for
the origin of the pawnbroker's sign. Ono
saws that the balls are used because they
were the emblem of St. Nicholas, who Is
said to have given three purses Of gold to
three virgin sisters to enable them to
marry. Another legend attributes the use
of the three balls to the members of the
Lombard family, the first great money
lenders of England. They were druggists
before they became capitalists, and used
the three golden pills in memory OF their
old calling. Still another story attributes
their original use to the Medici family Of
France. The Medicis were money lenders,
who used the three pills as q pun on their
medical sounding name.-St. LsuI Re-
