The Burlington Coming.

Purchasing Agent Milehar of the Bur.
lington road, who was recently in Ia
coma, has been quietly at work during
his sojourn in this state placing orders
for about 100000 feet of lumber, to be
used both in construction and repair
work. The placing of these orders is re-
garded among lumhermen as significant,
not so much on account of the quantity
involved as on account of the fact that
this is the first time the Burlington has
sent a man into this field to negotiate
such purchase Tacoma News.

THE SUPPORTING ARM.
corts On the streets or At
Public Functions.

OF course il is no news to state that
1t is no longer fashionable for a woman
to take the arm of her escort upon the
street. That custom, in vogue for CEN
turtles, has gone, never to return. II is
still customary for woman to accept
the arm of her masculine companion
when going to dinner at a fashionable
function, but this, too, will soon doubt
less pass away. Indeed, there are al
ready signs Of decadence. For some
time past the lunch party has resolved
itself into an indescribable scramble to
find ones place, and a seat between two
unknown persons to whom you are
afraid to make a remark lest something
untoward should ensue. This season
the same lack Of ceremony DEGREES that
our ingenues must march about a ball
room without taking their partners
arm, and our dowagers go down to sup
per without any more masculine sup
port than is afforded by the proximity
of black coat.
The support Of gentleman's arm
was once considered indispensable &c
the ladies. In the '40s and sos husbands
and wives not only walked the streets
and appeared in the park inexorably
linked. but it was the proper thing for
them TO enter drawing-room arm-in.

may still, now and again. see very quiet.
old-fashioned people doing so. The
wife, whatever her character or TEN.
permanent, was held by society at large
to be gentle, helpless, dependent crea-
ture, too modest to be capable of enter.
ing a crowded party by herself Those
were the days, to be sure, when wives
never accepted dinner invitation
alone; if the husband could not go for
any reason the wife meekly stayed at
home. We have changed those drastic
conjugal laws considerably during the
last few years, and nowadays a woman
has not only learned to make her APP
pearance in society without any male
belongings, but you will occasionally
find whole table filed with guests who
none of them belong legally one to the
other. Who shall say if the change is for
the better? 1t is, perhaps, too early to
decide, but that we shall never go back
to the old manners and the old ideals
is tolerably certain.-C Chicago Chron-
icle.

HoUSECLEANING AT THE MINT.
There Is Wealth in Sweepiugs That Must
BE Carefully Garnered.

From the Philadelphia Telegraph.
Within the next few days the annual
kousecleaning of the United States mint
will commence and while it is going on
the money factory will be closed to vi5-
itors 1t is the custom to furbish up the
mint about this time of the year, AMI
two weeks are usually devoted to the
work.
Pipes which have been eaten out by
the acids in coming will be replaced
and the boilers of the engines will be
cleaned. While the mint will be closed
to visitors and all coinage operations
ceased the banking and depository de-
partments and the cashiers office Will
be kept open for the transaction of bus
mess.
Thousands of dollars worth of gold
are found annually among the sweep
ings of the mint, but this gold was
never lost The art of coming has been
reduced to such a fine point that, given
a certain quantity of bullion during the
year, the coiner at the mint must turn
out a certain amount of coin. The lee
way of waste is allowed for almost to
a grain, and ii is upon the sweepings
of the institution, with their thousands
of dollars of hidden gold dust. that the
coiner counts to escape being made an
involuntary defaulter That is the rea-
son why every washstand in the mint
does not let the water escape in which
the employees have washed their hands
until it has percolated through
blanket These pieces of blanket are
changed regularly and are faithfully
preserved. When housecleaning time
comes and they are burned with the
rest of the dirt, the tiny, invisible
specks of gold that came from off the
employees hands amount to a tidy sum.
The daily sweepings of the mint 60
into what is known as the "sweep eel
lar" on this occasion every nook and
Granny of the mint is swept with equal
diligence and care. Even the roof is
swept. And so valuable are the CLEAN
ings there that a specially provided
funnel catches the sweepings and drops
them into a -bottomed well. The
clay is dug up, dr>ad and removed to
the sweep cellar for utilization in con-
nection with the other dirt
Into this golden dirt pile go any odd
pieces of rubbish that may have accu-
mulated during the year. The very
shoes the workmen have worn and the
leather gloves with which they handlsd

the country after the civil war, entered

bushel of apples.
See that you send the largest ones"
she said sharply, to the fruiterer.
They are sold as they run" he said.
IF l pick out the large ones, the price
will be higher"
Il am accustomed to have choice
goods of all kinds sent to me-" the lady
said, haughtily. You probably do not
know who / ann"
Il do not, madame. My customers
are all served alike"
Il am Miss Dash, the daughter of

"Indeed?" said the dealer, in a quiet
tone. II served under your father for
three years, and l can only say that
he was the last man to browbeat a poor
shopkeeper or to try to trick him out
of his just profits"
