TO Be illustrated by an Exhibit at
the State Fair.
Most people take a morbid interest in learn
ing about the lives of convicts in prison and
an exhibit to be made by the Minnesota PEN
nitentiary at the state fair this year is GER
tain to prove very interesting to the masses.
The display will include the machinery oper-
ated by the convicts in manufacturing bind
ing twine, as well as samples of the output
of the pennitentiary in this line of industry.
Dummy figures arrayed In convict garb-will
illustrate a system of government peculiar
to the Minnesota pennitentiary.s A convict's
standing can always be told by the clothes
he wears. and this has been found to have a
decided effect in securing good discipline
among the conVicts- This grading system
will be fully explained by this exhibit.
The ladies should be out in force on Deere
Weber company's bicycle day, Monday Aug.
81, the opening day Of the state fair. Women
are always interested in the achievements of
their sex, and the fact that prizes are literally
offered for the competition of women riders is
calculated to attract a large attendance Of
the gentler sex. Deere medals are offered
for clubs composed exclusively of ladies', of
not less than twelve nor not more than TWEEN
ty-four members, which shall be adjudged
the most attraetively uniformed. Silver belt
buckles are to be given to each member as
the second prize. Moline bicycle is offered
prize for the lady having the best and
most attractive costume; second prize ster-
ling silver mounted belt; third prize pair of
bicycle kid gloves. For the most graceful
lady rider. costume to be considered Deere
roadster is offered the first prize; second
prize. pearl opera glasses; third prize pair
of kid gloves. Prizes are also offered for
the best uniformed clubs, uniformed or rae
ing, and for the best drilled clubs of which
women may be members.
D. Ashley Cooper's great painting, 'sTrilby %
is to be exhibited in the main exposition
building. The picture has been shown in both
St. Paul and Minneapolis and has received
such great praise that there will doubtless
be many from other cities and towns who will
be glad of the opportunity of viewing the
picture.

Where Pennies are COinei.

1t is not generally known that all
the minor coins of base metal, such as
pennies and nickles, are made at the
Philadelphia mint, and that nearly
100, 900, 900 pennies are coined here
every year. This large number is oc-
casioned by the fact that thousands of
pennies are lost annually, and that
the Government has some difficulty in
maintaining supply. The profit of
the Government ON their manufacture
is large. The blanks for making them
are purchased for 81 thousand from
Cincinnati firm that produces them
by contract. Blanks for nickels are
obtained in the same way, costing
Uncle Sam only cent and half
apiece.
Gold is coined in Philadelphia and
San Francisco. Not enough of it
comes into the mint at New Orleans to
make the coinage of it worth while.
Gold pieces are the only coins of the
United States which are worth their
face value intrinsically. A double
eagle contains $40 worth of gold with
out counting the one-tenth part cop

BENEATH THE LIGHT.

bit OF rock, in silent sea.
Alonely spot it seems to me;
And yet two hearts are beating there,
And happier hearts you'll find nowhere
Than In this tower across the wave,
Whose base the ripping waters lave.
A bit Of rock, in an angry sea,
Anawful spot it seemed to me;
And yet yon tower, tempest tossed,
shelter makes, where all is lost
Beside the confidence of love
In all on earth, and all above.
A bit OF rock, and light atop.
Which flashes forth, as the shadows drop;
The smallest place In the world it seems,
Yet full of hopes and full of dreams,
As any place moro proudly blest;
For two, this tower-home is best.
