SOME GENERAL NOTES.

The rail mill has been on heavy
steel during the week for the Santa
re railroad. The supply OF pig ron
for the converter is holding out well,
and the supply Of scrap iron. which
mas been painfully short during the
past couple Of weeks, is considerably
improved. The outlook for the run OF
the converter until the first OF the
coming month without interruption is
very favorable, and it may be TOR a
longer period. When it is considered
that the two blowing vessels OF the
Converter turn out about 500 tons OF
inessemer steel every a hours, some
idea can be conceived Of the amount
OF producing material that is nsces-
ssry to accomplish this result. When

Nothing Bat the Coin of Love

IN ADDITION to all this, she was a woman of many
i virtues and the source of a big income. She was tall
and plump. Coal black, snappy eyes shone from beneath
long, silky lashes; a broad, low forehead, the skin as clear
and as soft as a chflds, peeped from under hair as jet
and as fine as that of an Indian; a straight nose. with
quivering nostrils; cheeks as brown as a berry; even
teeth, as glistening as mother-of-pearl itself-a more
picturesque beauty than Dora Stanley is hardly to be
found.
y And she is able to tell fortunes II a way to be equaled
by no other in her tribe. And SO her father and her
brother thought her a bargain at $1,000. Had they ever
quoted her at a lower figure before? Had they not asked
$500 in Baltimore; $500 in Richmond; $1,000 in Charleston?
Indeed, it was hard to let her go for so little, but she
loved the man and they would try to find comfort for
themselves.
Young Lowell. however, had no 1000 to give, and Dore
Stanley did not want to be bought. The coin in the realm
Of love, she told her father and brothers. is not made
by Uncle Sam. But what could the poor lovers do? The
same as poor lovers have always done. said they.
On Saturday night. June II, the pride of each camp
was missing. 1t was but too evident to the brothers and
the father and mother of the missing girl that she had
eloped. The elder Lowell knew his son had gone. and
smoked his pipe, well pleased with the youngsters daring
and the youngsters pride.
Then the chase. Pretty Dora Stanley tells of 1T.
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1904-07-17

The whole island was once submerged in the sea. out
OF which it only rose once in seven years, and then only
for a very short time. Many attempts Lad been made to
break the spell and induce the country to remain per-
manently above the waters. but all were vain. until one
day a daring adventurer threw a horseshoe from a boat
on to thte topmost peak of the Wicklow Mountains, just
as they were disappearing beneath the waves. Then at
last was the ban removed. The Emerald Isle began forth
with to rise again from the ocean depths into which it
had sunk. And 1t has been dry land-more or less-ever
since.
In England, up to comparatively recent times, horse
shoes were extensively used almost everywhere as anti
witch charms; and the custom is not even yet an extinct
one. No witch, it used to be said. could enter a building
over the. door of which a horseshoe-or, better still, three
horseshoes-had been affixed, prongs downwards.
The origin of this particular belief is referabIe to the
old legend Of st. Dunstan. This versatile English eccle-
siastic was a skilled farrier, and one day while at work
in his forge the Evil One entered In disguise and requested
Dunstan to shoe his "single hoof." The saint, although
he recognised his malign customer. acceded, but caused
him so much pain during the operation that Satan begged
him to desist. This Dunstan did, but only after he had
made the Evil One promise that neither he nor any of the
lesser evil spirits, his servants. would ever modest the in
mates of a house where a horseshoe was displayed.

The ''Tryal of the Pyxo

sHE "pyx boxes" in the United States MINIS. the
receptacies into which are thrown, samples of
every new lot of coins. to be opened later and
tested by a government commission, have their
origin IN years lcng gone. Kings were always in attend
ance when they were opened, and these ceremonies wera
marked with great formalities. Nowadays the "pyx
oo6 plays a very unimportant part in a country's affairs.
Even In England this fact is recognized.
unlike his predecessors on the throne, King Edward
mas not seen any necessity TO use his prerogative of pre-
siding at the s'Tryal of the Pyx," which was opened the
other day at Goldsmiths' Hall. The "TryaI of the Pyx'
Is II may be stated. nothing more formidable than an
ancient process of testing and certifying the purity of
the coinage.
IN Tunes gone by this valued privilege of the Gold
smiths Company was exceedingly useful and necessary,
and quite worthy the presence even of the King. Now
adays, however, the Kings Remembrance takes his
Malestys place quite adequately, and there is little doubt
ABOUT the verdict which the jury will give when the mas
ter OF the mint presents his specimen coins In a ..pyx."

young people; in youth the blood is hot. This is one
world, the sky is one roof, the sun is one sun for all;
the moon and the stars are neither ours nor yours; let us
be friends"
But my wife" protested young Lowell.
her husband. Take her, and you can pay us when you
have the money said they.
This apparent spirit of Cancellation pleased young Low
ell and pleased the elder Lowell, too. By telling fortunes
and trading horses their tribe has made a great deal Of
money. And now the purchase price has been paid.
Dark roses blossomed in the olive cheeks of Queen
Dora as she told her story: fire .-shed from the wells
Of light in her black eyes.
'It is not the first time they wanted to sell me-" she
declared. "Once in Richmond a man of my tribe wanted
to marry me. They told him he must pay them $500
in Charleston they wanted $1,000. No one would pay $500.
No one would pay $1,000. They sell horses. why should
they sell me? Am 1 not a woman? Then where do I
belong? Is it not with my husband? 1 love him.. Oh, I
can make money! Shall I tell your fortune?' I say, and
people like to have their fortunes told. My husband, he
loves me. He is a good man. Why should we not go
together?'
She was the best money maker in the camp" ex-
planned her brothers when they were asked why they
wanted money Tor her. eff she is married into another
tribe she leaves us. Why should we not get paid for her?"
Among the wagons and about the camphres of the
Lowell gypsies there is now much rejoicing over the ALI
ance and the celebration goes on merrily; but the pride Of
race is not swept away. and the Stanley clan is still
eoldiy disdainful. The nose of the gypsy aristocracy is
sadly out of joint, despite the price it got.

incense in Bloomsbury. and she is but II. She lied. The
law must be put on her.
And Queen Dora rested in jail, and the brothers again
sought her husband.
One thousand dollars only" lid they. .and she is
SO pretty and such a money maker. Then you can have
her."
No." said the elder Lowell.
NO." repeated young Lowell with u aching heart.
And then there came a reseuer. a tondsman for Dora,
ana once more she was free. It W. Friday morning.
But in the afternoon she was again arrested. Witch
craft and fortune telling was the charge. and a vounx
man who wanted to know where his dead father had
hidden his great wealth and who lad paid Dora 81 to
divine the spot was the prosecutor.
Again came the rescuer. the b. ndsman. and She did
not go back to jail.
The next day. Saturday. young Lowell was again ap-
preached.
Only $1,000" suggested the brothers; mo more trouble.
You take the girl. Everybody happy"
Not one cent Indignantly cried the young husband.
A few hours afterward he was arrested for abduc-
ton
My girl is not lS." complained the aged father. John
Stanley. "and this bad gypsy ran away with her. He
must go to Jail"
Then the Lovells took a hand in the use of the law
and on Monday Stanley and his sons were arrested. The
prosecutions might have been going on yet had they not.
