STEEL PLANT PERILS.
Recklessness a Psychological Factor

GOLD COINS.
Why Bankers Don't Like Them and
Prefer to Handle Paper.

"Of the different kinds of American
money now in circulation the gold
coins of all denominations are the most

delay. Not so with gold \ few days.
ago gentleman brought TO pur bank
upward Of $1,000 in gold Of different
denominations and was much provoked
because we would not receive It ana
give him credit with the amount the
face of the coin represented This we
could not do because the law requires
that gold shall be redeemed only ut It's
actual value. Coins carried in the
pocket for any length OF time naturally
lose something by abrasion probably
but fractional part of Il cent on ten
dollar piece, but it Is loCs neverthe
less-and therefore bankers cannot give
credit for gold deposits until the coin
shall have been weighed. In the case
mentioned my friend took his gold to
the subtreasury and was compelled to
wait there nearly an hour before he
could get notes for 1t.
Every coin had to be passed through
the scales and after the weighing proc
ess had been completed three of the
coirs-two five dollar pieces and ten
dollar piece-were returned to him as
short in weight. Before returning short
weight coins the department stamps on
the face of each coin cross. The
owner is either left to send the coins to
the United States mint for redemption
or again put them into circulation.
Eventually the coins with crosses on
their faces will go to the mint and be
redeemed at their actual value. In
many instances there may not be more
than several cents shortage on $50
worth of coins. Business men, how
ever, naturally object to the inconven-
ience and get rid of their gold as fast
as possible. New York Press.

A Mistake.

Not one of us, even the most good
natured, likes to have his mistakes
pointed out. We may appear not to
mind corrections and accept them with
smile, but ii is human nature TO
smart under correction. although some
of us may be clever enough TO conceal
the smart; hence the fewer mistakes
we call attention 10 In others The bet
ter. Two-thirds of the mistakes we
make are trivial Their correction is
unimportant. Why then, notice them
Yet some people do. and do so con
stantly. A person speaks OF having
done certain thing on Thursday,
when in reality it was done on Wednes-
day. If no important point is inyolv-
ed. why call attention to the mistake?
What good does it do to have the ex-
act day set right? 1t is matter of
no Importance, so why insist upon cor
recting the trivial error: Stanch
friendships have often been pricked
by this needle of useless correction.
1t is a great art, this art Of learning
to allow others to be mistaken when
the mistake is unlmportant. Few
