There has been a steady growth of
sentiment toward consolidating small
weak schools into stronger ones. Where
II does not work a hardship on the
children, there should be continued ef-
fort along these lines. The greatest
obstacle in the way ofproper consolida-
lion and transportation is the wretched
condition Of our country roads. The
school question and the road question
are, therefore, inseparable for the pres

How Uncle Sam Makes Money
 Mint Exhibit at Lewis & Clark

A million pennies day-InaL IS the capacity of strange machine which Uncle Sam uses in the Philadelphia mint to count the coin of the smallest value made by the government. This machine, known as counting table, IS exhibited in the Government building as part of Uncle Sam's $500, 1000 dis play on the Peninsula in Guilds lake in the Lewis & Clark Exposition.
 The counting board is about as large as kneeding board such as housewives use. The surface is wide enough to hold row of forty pennies. When the pennies are to be counted, several thou sand are heaped on the board which is placed above hopper. Then an oper- ator tips the board backward and for ward, and sideways, so that the pen nies slide about and finally settle in the grooves made by the brass partition strips. When the board is full there are 1000 pennies on it. Pennies are coined only at the Philadelphia mint, and the government finds their coinage profit able, because the value of the metal they contain is only three-fourths of a cent.
 The upsetting machine is another in- teresting mechanical contrivance. 1t is used for turning the edges of coins. The coin discs of the proper size and thickness, but with the edges still rough, are put inth tubes made to fit. These tubes are placed upright beside a round-topped revolving table. At each revolution of the table, one of the discs drops into groove between the table and an outer shell, and the pressure on the edge of the discs makes them smooth
 Stamping the coin is the last process, and this is done by means of a great machine which weighs IS tons and costs $15.000. There are twenty-four such machines in the Philadelphia mint. The discs to be coined are again placed in tube. Two steel fingers take hold of of the bottom disc and move it over to the die. Then the die above p1esses down so that an impression is made on both sides of the disc. At the same the edge is milled, when the steel fin- gers push the finished coin away and bring new disc into position.
 The machine at the exposition stamps ninety $20 gold pieces per minute. A pressure of 13O tons is required.

The Paramount Waist.

The waist, then, being paramount,
we will say few words about it. In
the first place, it is shown in every pos
sible kind of material and form. Just
now the silks and velutinaS have it,
but there are enough washable ones
offered or making to encircle the globe,
l verify believe The best liked style
is the plain one with plaits made large
or small as the wearer's individual
taste may dictate. The inch wide
plat extending from shoulder to waist
is the neatest and is the easiest to iron,
and for that reason the waist made in
this way gives the best satisfaction Ill
the long run. Dotted swiss is very
pretty and is suitable for the young,
and in the picture it will be seen that
over the shoulders of the wearer is the
revived suspender effect. The sus-
penders are made of black velvet. Lace
forms the cuffs and collar. Another
waist shows how several tucks may be
laid from shoulder to waist in clusters.
The rest is finished in regular shirt
waist design. Another one shows an
dDDllCdIlOu Ol Willie DulCHcI
over a polka dotted waist. Large white
pearl buttons finish it, Still another
has a yoke Of lace with tab down the
front, to which is shirred pale blue
india silk. The sleeves are plain leg o
mutton, with a hanging cuff Of the
lace. With this is worn folded belt
Of pale blue taffeta.
French lingerie waists with the
fronts hand embroidered, some with
lace as insertion and edging, are es-
pecially elegant. Some very desirable
ones are made Of handkerchief linen.
with old fashioned eyelet embroidery.
There are many styles in oriental net
and other lace waists, some made over
colored taffeta and others with white.
It would be impossible to do this SUBJ
ject justice, but this much may be
said-the white wash waists and the
figured percales and batistes and other
cottons, madras, ginghams and the
thousand and one other pretty and use
full fabrics offered are all cheap and
pretty as well as fast in color.
