The greatest things are done by the great
est fools.
Wise men never attempt anything

United States Mints.

According to Thorne, the first building
erected in any portion of the United States
by authority Of the federal government was
the United States mint In Philadelphia.
This building was of brick and stood on
the east side Of Seventh street, above what
is now called Filbert street. The corner
stone was laid July 81, 1892, by David Rit-
tenhouse, the director Of the mint. About
the year 1872 the mint was removed to
the building at Juniper and Chestnut
streets. In 1885 branch mints were estab-
lished at New Orleans, Charlotte, n. O.,
and at Dahlonega, Ga; in 1854 at San Fran
cisco and in 1870 at Carson City, New, and
later at other points.

New Orleans Has q Phenomenon.

Peter Case, a 14-year-old boy of New
Orleans. evidently has championship stock
in him. A few weeks ago on most indif-
ferent track he won the mile race at the
games Of the Ancient Order of Druids in
2 minutes 56]1 seconds, thereby establish
ing new record for the city and state On
May Is he further demonstrated his right
to the title by winning the first race-five
miles-of the series for the Prial cup in
10 minutes Al 2-5 seconds, also state record.
The most remarkable feature Of the new
champion is his age. He is feet inches
tall and weighs 100 pounds. AS his name
indicates, he is of French descent. He has
been riding wheel for three years and had
won several boys races, but until his 2min-
utes 6611 seconds effort he had never meas.
ured speed with full grown men.

game, and only 81 runs were scored against
him.
His fame as batsman is even greater,
and his peer in this speciality does not live
in America, it is said. Since 1887 he has
made no less than ID centuries. In June OF
that year he secured 1874, and in July gath

VESTAL VIRGINS.
The First Temple Of INSTRUMENTATION o
Novv,o voakos

The First Temple OF Vesta-Derivation Of
the Name vestas
Ovid tells us that the first temple of
Vesta at Rome was constructed Of wattled
walls and rooted with thatch, like the
primitive huts of the inhabitants. It was
little other than a covered circular fire
place and was tended by the unmarried
girls of the infant community. It served
as the public hearth of Rome and ON 1t
glowed, unextinEuished throughout the
year, the sacred fire which was supposed to
have been brought from Troy, and the con-
tinuance Of which was thought to be linked
with the fortunes Of the city.
The name Vesta Is believed to be derived
from the same root as the Sanskrit ''was,"
which means ito dwell, to inhabit," and
shows that she was the goddess Of home,
and home had the hearth as it's focus. A
town, a state, Is but large family, and
what the domestic hearth was to the house
that the temple Of the perpetual fire became
to the city.
Every town had its vesta, or common
hearth, and the colonies derived their fire
from the mother hearth. Should vestal
maiden allow the sacred fire to become ex-
tinguished she was beaten by the grand
pontif till her blood flowed, and the new
fire was solemnly rekindled by rubbing to-
gether Of dry wood or by focusing Of the
SUMS rays. It might not be borrowed. The
circular form and domed roof Of the tenn
Piles of Vesta were survivals of the prehis-
toric huts Of the aborigines. which were in
