COUNTIN5 GINS QUICKLY.
The Ingenious Invention of a Treas
ury Expert Facilitates the
Handling Thereof.

An old treasury employe has in
vented an ingenius coin counting
machine. 1t consists of round
metal hopper into which coins are
poured. From this the coins are fed
into an attachment, or head, as it is
called, which is kept constantly re
volving by crank operated by hand.
Each revolution carries six or more
coins through a registering device
which keeps track of the exact num-
Der. There is a differentiated head
for each coin and the change from
nickels to pennies or from dimes to
quarters or coins of larger denomina
ton can be made instantly. 1t is
estimated that with one of these
machines a strong boy can accurately
perform the work of five or six
clerks, says a Washington report. A
device has also been planned which
will count the coins in 100 or 200
lots and by the use of paper carton
they may be done up in packages
ready for handling or shipment. By
running them cOnsecutively through
the various heads a lot of coins may
be separated and counted at the same
time. The machine is expected to
revolutionize coin counting methods.

SPENDING THE FUND.
Every Cent Goes Into Kentucky Build
ing and Exhibits at Fair.

One of the latest folders issued by
the Kentucky Exhibit association out
lines in brief paragraphs what the
funds of the association are to be
spent for. These are enumerated as
follows: A Ctate building; mineral ex-
hibit, occupying 5000 square feet of
space; agricultural exhibit, occupying
5000 square feet of space; hort;cul-
tural exhibit, occupying 5000 square
feet Of space; tobacco exhibit, occupy
ing 5000 square feet of space, out of
a total Of 10000 to be given to all to-
bacco; forestry exhibit, occupying
5000 square feet of space; educational
exhibit, occupying $500 square feet of
space.
In addition to this, the association
is to encourage and stimulate exhibits
in live stock, manufactures, whisky,
fine arts, liberal arts and all other de-
partments of the exposition. The space
for these exhibits is many times as
much as Kentucky had at the Chicago
Worlds Fair, and they are to be on
more thorough and extensive scale
than was ever attempted before.

GERMANS AT THE CIRCUS.
Body In Taking Up the
Seats.

One of the bets stories of the Bar
mum European trip grew out of the
German experience. Opinion differs
as to whether the joke is at the ex-
pense of the Germans or of the cir
Gus itself. On crossing the German
frontier, the management discovered
a startling shortage in the daily re-
ceipts. The circus as usual was play
ing "to capacity" the 10000 odd
seats were filed twice daily, and
hundreds were being turned away,
yet the shortage was something like
$1,000 day, says the Woman's Home
Companion. Expert accountants
went over the books in vain, detec-
tives were brought from Paris, but
could discover nothing. Finally, after
much investigation, it was found
that every German occupied about a
seat and a fourth, or that three
able-bodied men or women COM
pletely filled four regular seats. The
receipts were by the same percentage
less than they should have been.
Here was substantial difficulty
which could not be overcome.

OPEN-HEARTED PEOPLE.
Travellers An Shetland Are Always
Well Treated by the HOspit.
able Natives,

In the Shetlands one is always well
come to rest by the fire and cup of
bland-fermented buttermilk whey
and, except where the people are ex-
ceedingly poor, tea with scenes or bis
cult is usually offered. Kindly and
open-hearted as the people are, the
slightest breach of patronage or con-
descension puts them into a state of
proud reserve that is not easily broken.
They will confer any number of ia
Vors; to accept them is always little
difficult, says the Detroit Free Press.
They live in most patriarchal man
ner-three or four generations in one
house. The younger men are usual
~ sailors or fishermen; the elder men
and the women manage the croft. AS
plows are unknown, they "del' the
ground with spades before sowing
their little crops of oats and barley.
The hay and grain are cut sometimes
with scythe quite often with
small sickle-methOds that involve
hard labor even on a croft of from
two to four acres. The drying hay
is protected from the wind by con-
demned herring nets and is carried
to the stack in rope creels. Peats are
cut in the spring and dried all sum-
mer out on the mOOrs and carried
home in kesshies Baskets of straw
or dock slung across the shoulders.
The women bring home most of the
peatS and are commonly to be met
with bent under towers several feet
high, but often singing and always
knitting.

EVERYBODY GIVEN A VOTE.

Many a woman has wanted to exer-
else the right Of franchise and every
youth awaits impatiently the ending of
his minority. In the school teachers
popularity contest Of the Kentucky
Exhibit association neither sex nor
age cuts a figure in the qualifications
of a voter. Every woman in the state,
every child in the state-boy or girl
as we'll as every man in the state, is
entitled to vote mot only early, but
often" In fact, the Exhibit associa-
ton is anxious to have the ballot box
stuffed" The counting is to be I'M
der the supervision of committee, the
honesty of which can not be question
ed. Therefore, fairness is assured.
Let everybody cast at least one vote
in this contest.

Appropriations for state buildings

amount to $3,9S5,5OO To this sum may
be added $1,754,500 in hand or being

world the industries and resources of
the different sections of this country.
The legislatures of twelve other states
Will convene in time to supplement
this total and increase it many thou
sands of dollars. Many states have
exhibits already collected worth thou
sands of dollars, which have been used
at former expositions and others that
belong TO individuals. These are not
included in the total. The real value
of state exhibits at very conservative
estimate will be over $1O,OOO,OOO. The
total amount expended for state exhib-

ton at Chicago in 1893 was S., 25O 900.
Many states are showing great activ-
ity in the collecting of their exhibits,
among the foremost of which is Ken

make an appropriation, but she will

Colonel Brigham on Federal Aid.

Colonel J. H. Brigham, Assistant
Secretary Of Agriculture, in a recent
speech at a good roads convention,
said:
Il see no reason why the general
Government should not appropriate a
certain sum of money to be expended
in this great work. OF course the
States, counties and local communities
should be expected to cooperate. A
little aid from the general Government
would be a wonderful encouragement
to all the people.
II hear a number of speakers here
saying that we must stir up Congress.
Now l want to impress you with the
idea that we must first educate the
people. When the people are in favor
of national aid in building good roads,
Congressman will be In favor Of it,
and not until then. They are not
going ahead Of the people.
when one of these great popular
movements gets started, 1t acquires
wonderful momentum. Once let the
good roads movement get thoroughly
started and nothing will be able to
stop it, or stand before 1t, till its great
work is done.
II see no reason why the general
Government should not reach out its
strong arm and help the people of this
country get better means Of commune
cation. / want to see the movement
pushed with all the energy that is
characteristic OF the American people.
When we undertake to do anything in
this country we do it, and do it we'll.
We have started out for better roads.
and we are going forward on this line
till we have as good roads as can be
found anywhere in the world"
