WASHING THE TAILINas.
A Ten-Strike Made in the Mint Where
no Gold Was Expected.
FROM the Denver Republican.

trom the Denver hepuDlican.
The Denver mint has furnished the pub
lie many mild surprises during the past
eighteen months. 1t has shown, partially,
the increased production of gold in the
state and has grown, in a comparatively
short time, from an obscure branch of the
general business of the government to a
place of general Importance to the entire
country. From few thousand dollars
monthly the purchase of gold at the mint
has grown to a half million a month.
With this vast increase of business has
grown demand for a coinage mint, and
so strong is this demand that it can
scarcely be denied by the government.
In the quiet routine work of the mint
there has been gradually accommodating an
item of wealth that even the employees
failed to realize until short time ago.
1t has been the custom to make quar-
terly house cleanings of the assaying and
refining departments. At such times the
operating rooms were carefully swept
and ali the machinery busted. The dirt
and dust thus collected has been washed
and the tailings thrown into bin back of
the mint building, where for years they
have been accommodating.
AT each quarterly cleaning snug sum,
generally about 500 in gold dust, would
be washed out and saved. Only a few
pounds of tailings would be left in the
pans TO be dumped into the open bin, but
during the years this stuff gradually &C
cumulated, until it now amounts to about
four tons.
A few weeks ago Assayer Pickett went
out to the bin OF "tailings'' with pan,
which he filled and began washing -
The result was surprise, so large was
the quantity of gold he washed out.
Without further ado, Mr.. Pickett hired
an expert and started him to work wash
ing out these tailings. Mr.. Pickett also
had some old melting pots that had been
thrown out ground up and washed, and
the result was that from the scrap pile
over $1,000 in gold has been PANIED by
one man in thirty-eight days.
These tailings, after second washing
have also been saved, and MIR. Pickett
says he has refused an offer of 81 900 from
one of the shelters for them. He expects
to receive at least s., 900 for them.
In arranging for the improvements to
be made at the mint, Mr.. Pickett con-
Guided to have the chimney of the fur
mace swept. In doing this fifty-seven
pounds of SCOT was secured. This SCOT
was sold at IS a pound to one of the
shelters, and the smelter authorities
claim to have made good profit on their
purchase.
The gold purchases at the mint for the
past twelve days of this month have
amounted to over 500, 000 The largest pur.
chase of any previous month in the his
tory of the mint was little less than
$500, 900. Assayer Pickett says that al
the least reasonable calcula tion the pur-
chase5 for this month will exceed $780,
600.

"YElLows" ON PEACH TREES.

had a peach tree in my yard which
had borne the previous year a very heavy
crop OF peaches, so heavy, indeed, that
the principal branches were split at their
intersection from their weight. Soon
after blossoming in the spring the tree
developed ''yellows." had the ground
around the tree all dug over, and gave IL
liberal dressing of barnyard manure.
During the following month the tree put
on healthy appearance and the "yel-
lows entirely disappeared; and moreover,
the peaches which it bore were much inn

not so abundant as the year before

true solution of the problem of the "yel-

A Sermon on Carpets.

In buying carpets Of any or all kinds the
housewife will be better pleased II she
buys those Of small designs, either ara
besque or conventionalized floral, and
which largely cover the ground floor, both
as background to furniture, old and
new, and as a rest to the eye. Carpets so
chosen will not become monotonous and
will readily adapt themselves to changes
from one room to another. Dark carpets
are seldom satisfactory, as they are too
somber and show dust badly. They are
only suitable for rooms of many windows.
Light carpets soil easily and add to the
glare of very light rooms, while those OF
medium tone are best adapted to wear and
to the cheerful furnishing of usual rooms.
Ingram, tapestry, body brussels and all
grades Of velvet have bordering woven to
match. This is priced by the yard, accord
ing to its width, which may be from 8 to
e2H inches The buying Of a border Is
matter Of taste. Square or large rooms
look more thoroughly finished if the car
pet has border, while in long, narrow
rooms a border unpleasantly defines the
lack of width. Carpets without borders
make over better, and in rented houses 1t
is undoubtedly better management to have
borderless carpets in all rooms.-Decorator

A Married WOman'S Name.

A married woman should subscribe her
own name
First Because 1t alone is legal. In
transaction of business with banks and in
signing legal documents woman's own
name alone Is accepted
Second.-It Is her baptismal name.
Third.-It Is the name halloWed by as
sooiations of love. Even the husband in
private addresses his wife by her own
name; also her intimate friends.
A married woman should under no Or
oumstance tolerate such address as Mrs.
Charles Smith, Mrs. Robert Williams. In
ancient Rome daughters were numbered
first, second, eto. These customs all Origi-
mated in the desire to sink woman's per-
sonality in that of her husband.

Women ns letter Writers.

"Would you desire at this day." says De
Quincy, ito read our noble language in
Its native beauty, picturesque from lido
matiC propriety, racy in Its phraseology,
delicate yet sinewy in its composition,

De Quincy alone in his opinion. 1t Is gen.
orally admitted that women write more
interesting letters than men, the chief
reason of which is probably their closer OBJ
servation of details, these being the one
thing needful In ordinary correspondence.
Philosophy and logic are entirely unim-
portant, if not actually out of place, and
60 are method, order and combination, ac-
Cording to rule, De Quincy himself attrib-
utes the superiority of women letter
writers to the fact that they are more
openly emotional and excitable. "There

genuine excitement. Real situations are
always pledges of a real natural language.
1t is in counterfeit passion, in the mimlcal
situations Of novels or in poems that are
efforts Of ingenuity" that women fail. OF
course both men and women are influenced
by current fashion in letter writing, and
In this as In other details the latter are
not unfairly supposed to be more under
the control Of convention. Letter writing
changes its mode as decidedly II not as
often as the gowns Of the letter writer's.
The "epistolary correspondence" Of past
day or generation, with Its elaborate and
sounding phrases, sometimes inflated to
an absurd degree, has happily "gone out, 1"
and racy colloquial style has to a great
extent superseded 1t. A letter to be well
written and entertaining, which is one OF
its legitimate functions, must be direct,
graphic, simple, avoid overelaboration
and steer wide Of any approach to an in
fated style.

une For Plated ware Relles,

Women who think that old plated ware
relics are valueless make great blunder.
The old designs are copies of those in old
silver and have a distinctive beauty on
that account. If you have cake basket
or tray, see If it is plated on copper, fact
which insures it's considerable age, as it Is
many years since that process was in use.
If the red shows through in the worn
places, you may be certain Of an antique
design, al two ways Of preserving its
beauty are open to you. One Is to have 1t
replated, but more unique and more often
done by those who like unusual things Is
to take 1t to the silversmith versed In
treating antiquities to have an acid sp-
piled which removes all the silver veneer.
Then the copper is beautifully FURNISHED,
and your sideboard has valuable addi-
tion. Snuffer trays and snuffers are often

Harrison, who handles in that city the
woman's department business Of the Pa

woman in the country holding such po-
sition. Some years ago, having through
bereavement found herself thrown on her
own resources, she turned her attention
20 the insurance business. She deVourCd
vast quantities of literature on the atti'

policy holders and found that In every in
stance they were charged at the rate Of So
a thousand more than men were. This
she regarded as rank injustice, and she set
about seeing If there was not some remedy
for the state of affairs. She hunted up
statistics and consulted business men on
the subject and finally evolved plan to
eliminate sex entirely from the proposition.
She unfolded her plan to the president and
directors of the Pacific States company
and succeeded in convincing them that a
plan she proposed was feasible. A special
department was created for her, rooms
were fitted up in the Stock Exchange
building, and the new agent was given q
