COUNTING COINS QUICKLY.
The Ingenious Invention of q Treas.
ury Expert Facilitates the
Handling Thereof.

{ . . @ r Fhv f 5 y I : T s.
An old treasury employe has in
vented an ingenius coin counting
machine. 1t consists of a 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-
.volying by crank operated by hand.
Each revolution carries six or more
coins through registering device
which keeps track Of the exact num-
Der. There is 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. It is
estimated that with one Of these
machines m 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 lot of coins may
be separated and counted at the same
time. The machine is expected to
revolutionize coin counting methods

We believe tits a common failing
with teachers in the graded schools
not to stick to the contracts which
they make with school boards. AT
least this complaint is made all over
the state. The teacher can and does
hold board OF education to con
tract, but ifshe herself is offered a
position in another school at slight
advance in salary, she does not hest
tate to send in her resignation, to
the great disadvantage often Of the
school that had first hired her. A
contract made with a teacher ought
to be as binding on the teacher as
on the board. This is a question Of
|ethics and morals, and matter that
the teachers themselves ought tc
discuss at their meetings and en-
deavor to correct. s

GERMANS AT THE CIRCUS.


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-
5pense Of the Germans or Of the cir
Gus itself On crossing the German
frontier, the mana cement discovered
a startling shortage in the daily re-
aceipts. The circus as usual was play
ing to capacity Z the 10000 odd
seats were filled twice daily, and
hundreds h were being turned away,
yet the shortage was something like
81 900 q day, says the Woman $ Home
Companion. Expert accountants
went over the books in vain, detec-
tives were brought from Paris, but
could discover nothing. Finally after
much investig ion, It was found
that every German occupied about a
seat and a fourtt1h or that three
able bodied men or women COM
5pletely filed four regular seats. The
receipts were BY the same percentage
less than they should have been.
Here was n substantial difficulty
which could not be overcome.

OPEN-HEARTED PEOPLE.
Travellers In 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 scones 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 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 genera tions in one
house The younger men are usual
ly sailors or fishermen; the elder men
and the women manage the croft. AS
plows are unknown, they dell" the
ground with spades before sowing g
their little crops Of oats and barley.
Ihe hay and grain are cut sometimes
with scythe quite often with a
small sickle--methods that involve
hard labor even on 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 no ll &. in kesshies Baskets Of straw
or dock k 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.

The failure Of SO many is due to the
youthfulnleess Of the applicants,

a This has been a great year for
starting new banks in this part
OF the Red river valley. Hallock,
Pelan, Greenbush, Roseau and a
number of other towns boast of new
financial institutions. From this it
may be inferred that thereis a great
demand for banks, and also that the
banking business is profitable in
this rapidly developing section Of
the state. A town without one or
more banks these days is lacking in
enterprise and progressiveness.

The RELIANCE has proved alto

will stay in America. It must have
been great disappointment for Sir
Thomas Upton, but he seems to
take his defeat good naturedly.
That he has crossed the ocean again

VI A FISH HOOK is frequently an ex
pensive plaything, a gun is still
more so, but a steam yacht is, per-
haps, the most expensive Of all.
The steam yachts OF many rich men
cost half a million dollars, and cost
$1,000 dollars a day to run them.
How fortunate it is that we are not
rich and need not expend such vast
ums for pleasure.

WEATHER
AND CROPS
Conditions Throughout the
State During the
Past Week.

The temperature during the past
week was generally below normal, es-

stormy and unsettled weather prevailed.
There was a light fall Of snow on some
Of the high mountain ranges on the
9th, 10th and 18th. Light rain &C.
Cured on the 18th and 10, but not
enough to be Of much benefit to grow
ing vegetation.
Light to heavy frosts in Elko and
White Pine counties on the 9TH and
9th damaged minor crops in exposed
localities.
A sever and destructive frost oc-
cured on the morning Of the l4th,
causing an immense amount Of dam
age to corn, potatoes and garden vege-
tables in various parts Of The State.
Generally the weather Of the week
was favorable for harvesting operations,
but it was much to cold for growth of
late vegetation.
The harvesting of hay and grain is
practically over. except in SOM Of the
late districts, where it is nearing com
pletion. Threshing is we'll under way
and yields are reported as being salts

Hay bailing is progressing rapidly
Prospects for fruit continue favorable.
The condition Of stock is reported as
being satisfactory although range feed
is rather poor in most localities. Irri-
CATION water is very scarce throughout
the State. Warmer weather. which
may be expected, is needed for matur-
ing late crops.

unualy went lower until the sad spec

about double that of the latter. The

The high record crop in the history

was that Of 1902-O3 Since that date
there has been. a decline in production
in Europe, amounting in all to about
