How the Up-to-Date Girl Seals He
Letters.
My lady mas a new fad about her ma
peterle which this time has nothing +,
GO with the size or shape of the en-.
Velope or the tint Of the paper. The
fad has just begun to gain a hold on
New York society girls, but it is seen
often enough for the letter carriers tc
have noticed it, and if you carefully
inspect envelopes the fair sex have
used that come to your notice YOU will
soon see what it is. When she seals
her letters now the up-to-date girl no
longer puts the seal in the apex of the
triangle made by the flap of the en-
velope, but carefully sets it about two
inches to the left, as the envelope lies,
address side down, on her writing ia
BILE. Just what the reason for this is
or what the origin of it was nome of
the fair ones who are following the
fad seems to be exactly sure. ITS so
novel, though" one of them explained,
land the seal really looks much more
artistic off to one side than planted
right in the center" Rumor has il
that the fad started from a letter re-.
ceived from a New York girl now in
Paris who has quite a reputation
among her friends for doing original
things. AS so many of the styles an6
fads come from the capital of France
that seems as good an explanation a,

1t Was in Philadelphia and Was Uncle Sans
First Property.

The first piece of property owned by
Uncle Sam and the first United States
mint was nearly destroyed recently by
a fierce fire, which broke out in the
basement of this interesting and his
toric old building, which is situated at
81 and 80 North Seventh street, Phil
adelphia.
Fortunately the firemen were near at
hand and by their prompt response to
the alarm and untiring efforts the old
historic building was saved from com
plete destruction and might yet be re-
that it would be a splendid object les
son not only to the present, but also to
the coming generation, illustrating the
wonderful growth of the wealth of the
republic from a very small and modest
beginning.
1t seems incredible that almost with
in the recollection of living men this
plain old structure represented the en-
tire personal holdings and real estate
security of our national government.
Inv AAolOly VI IAC hioI AAAAS " IhS
United States began with the passage
by congress of an act looking to the
formation of such a necessary institu-
ton. The initial step to put this act
in operation vas naturally the appoint
ment of the officers of the institution,
who should have charge of the estab-
lishment. For the director of the mint
Washington selected David Ritten-
house, the astronomer, who received
his appointment and accepted the posi-
ton on July 1, 1892.
Henry Weight, a matchmaker, was
appointed chief coiner, and Tristram
Dalton was made treasurer. In the
succeeding year Albion Cox was ap-
pointed chief assayer, and Robert Scott
engraver. The officers having been
selected, the next important matter
was to obtain a proper building for the
accommodation of the machinery of
the mint and the officers. With this
object in view, a lot IN the east side of
Seventh street, north of Farmers al
ley, now Filbert street, was purchased.
There was an old %stillhouse and other
buildings upon the property. These
structures were quickly removed, and
on the 31st of July, 1892, me corner
stone was laid by Washington, c els
tinguished gathering Of the leading
men of the day being present.
The foundation stone in place, work
was commenced on the building at
once. So rapidly for that period was
the work pushed that the foundation
was ready for the superstructure on
the 25th of August. The framework
was raised IN the afternoon of tina:
day.
A few days later, on the 10th OF
September, six pounds of old copper
were bought for the mint by Ritten-
house, at the rate of l shilling. 8
pence per ounce, this metal being the
first ever purchased for the coinage

as they would they could not disturb
the glass of water, which seemed ome
how to be moved by a hidden force,
upon which the force Of the water had
no effect.
And so it was; the great inside was
fastened to the big outside shell by a
big pivot in such a. way as to allow
It to maintain its center of gravity in
spite Of outside u%pheavals. The great
pivot by which it hung acted as a
pin upon which was suspended the in
side ship. No matter how the outside
turned, it could not affect the inside,
which, being independent of it, still
hung perfectly straight.
To illustrate this to your own salts
faction take the pendulum of a clock
which is not wound up. Take the
clock in your hands and move it from
side to side. The pendulum, you will
find, will always hang vertically, and
in spite of the most rapid movements
of the clock, will always regain it's
position at once. So with the ship. The
inside acts as the pendulum; the out
side corresponds to the clock case.
The value of this invention to an
Englishman can hardly be appreciated
on this side of the water. The Eng

The report Of the attempted assass-
ination spread through that section,
and the Americans in the camp de-
manded OF the sheriff that the per-
petrators of this crime be brought to
justice. The sheriff was unable to cope
with the Italians, and he called upon
the governor of the state, asking that
he send the militia to his aid. More
than 100 Italian miners, all heavily
armed, entrenched themselves near
the Hidden Treasure and Ute and Ulay
mines, ready to shoot anybody who
might come near them, and threatened
all sorts of violence to the authorities,
the company, or anybody not In sym
pathy with them. Upon the appearance
of the troops the Italians surrendered,
and they are now under arrest. After
the explosion Kitty Lawrence took
shelter under the protecting wing Of
tht Americans in the camp. It was
feared that another attempt would be
made to kill her. but so far this has
not been done. The girl is but % years

WHERE THE FIRST MINT WAS SET UP.

in the latter year steam was intro
duced for operating the presses. Dur
ing the yellow fever that devastated
Philadelphia in 1797-99 and again in
1923 the work of the mint was sus-
pended. David Rittenhouse, the first
director, was generally liked and re-
spected. And although the establish
ment under his care was of a most
primitive nature, it was conducted
with great care and judicious manage
ment. For forty years the old build
ing on Seventh street was used for
the purpose of the mint. 1t was only
after the marvellous increase in the
population of the country had rendered
it absolutely necessary that better
quarters should be obtained that the
secretary of the treasury and the pres
ident seriously considered the matter.

oysters had been created with legs,

CHILDREN in a pIo-srY.
Revolving Story of Parental Cruelty and
Neglect.

Neglect.
Charles Russell, an employee Of the
High Brooms Brickworks company
was at Tonbridge police court, Lon
don, the other day, charged, along with
his wife, with cruelty exposing their
two children, Louisa, aged 10. and
Edith May. S, to unnecessary suffer-
ing. The case was taken up by the
National Society for the Prevention Of
Cruelty to Children. Two police Of
ficers found the two children huddled
up together in a pig-sty on the brick
company's premises during the night,
and the wind was sweeping through
the large holes in the wall, while the
roof was partially off. The poor chill
dren, who had hardly any clothing on,
were %wallowing in the filth, and were.
crying bitterly with pain and cold.
What clothes they had on had not
been taken of for weeks, their stock
ings, which consisted Of a pair OF old
sleeves, had no feet; their boots had
no soles to them, and the children
were absolutely smothered with YER
min. The parents admitted that they
had been turned out OF their cottage
some weeks ago owing to their filthy
habits. In July, 1896. Russell and his
wife were convicted at this court Of a
similar offense in connection with
three of their children, and then the
male prisoner was sentenced to six
weeks hard labor and the woman to
two months. The bench sentenced the
prisoners to the same terms OF impris.
onment as before.

RQIERDAT USED % PREVENT SEA SICKNESS.

An Englishman of title, Sir Roderick
Henshaw, has in his workshop a work.
ing model of a roller-boat which is to
carry the queens devoted subjects
across the English channel without the
taste of sea-sickness.
1t is a roller-boat, so operated that
the center remains always on a hori-
zontal, although the outside rolls with
every motion of the waves. Outwardly
the ship is a typical ocean steamship,
with nothing to attract special atten-
ton beyond a few minor changes,
which might easily be found elsewhere.
but when you behold a cross section
Of the ship you change your mind and
decide that it is entirely out of the
ordinary.
The secret of the boat and it's action
is a pivotal one. The outside is a mere
shell, inside of which the great boat
itself, with all its living apartments, is
hung. The outside is light, and con-
tains only the necessary machinery,
but the inside is a great, heavy mass,
in which live and move the boats crew
and passengers.
When this boat vas first explained
to a party of English gentlemen they
laughed at the idea, but Sir Roderick,

71Ar INCREASE in WAGES.
A Wcll-Posted Workingman Tells What
1t Really Ia.

1t Really Ia
The loud heralding by the capitalist
press throughout the country Of an
increase in wages" in the cotton mills
of New England is one of the most
impudent lies ever resorted to by the
capitalist class for it's own b%amboozling
purposes. Supplemented as it is by
the incredibly bold assertion that this
so-called increase is a restoration of
the schedule of 1897, it dwarfs any
other colossal fake in this age Of fakes.
The cold facts are as follows:
Ar average reduction Of 1917 per
cent was made In 1897, and followed
in January, 1898, by a further reduc-
ton Of 1917 per cent, making a total
REDUCTION Of SO per cent. Or, to put it
in other terms. wages, after those two
reductions, were only 67 per cent of
the previous wages. In order to re-
establish the rates prevailing in 1897
before the first reduction, IN increase
of nearly SO per cent Tin exact figures
1925 Fer cent? upon the present rates
would therefore be necessary (since
1926 per cent of 81 equals 33).
Now, the utmost that is claimed by
any employer is that his new schedule
will increase the present wages from
S to 10 per cent; in other words, that
it will raise wages from the present 81
per cent to 70 or "a per cent of what
they were in 1897, leaving them still
from 26 to 80 per cent lower than they
were before the reduction.
But eve this claim is in most cases
absolutely fraudulent, and instead of
an increase, ever so small, there is an
actual reduction. l use the term
fraudulent" in it's most literal sense,
for the tricks resorted to in defraud-
ing the operatives are really criminal.
Not only the new goods, upon which
it is falsely represented that better
wages can be made, are found to en-
body more labor for less money, but
in the case of unchanged work the
"cuts" are surreptitiously heightened
in even greater proportion than the
wages are said to be advanced. This
"cut" measure acts in the cotton mills
the part that the devil" acts in the
mines as IN instrument OF downright
robbery. For instance, the workers
engaged on a certain grade OF goods
were until yesterday paid Is cents per
"cut," and the "cut" was understood to
be so yards. Now, 81 cents are paid,
but 1t is found that the "cut" has been
heightened to 81 yards, for which, at
the rates paid yesterday, the workers
would have received 28h cents.
In the light CT such facts as these.
the phenomenon of a Strike against
al increase Of wages" is no longer
puzzling.-L. Sanial.

Considering that the murders in this
