TO BURN CARPET FOR GOLD.
Floor Covering at Mint Expected to Yield
 S4,0OO to S5,0O0.

A requisition was made to the Treasury Department recently from the San Francisco mint ask ing that new carpet be placed ir the adjusting room. as tHe one there now has been worn out after ten years service. In ordinary in- stances such requisition WoulC excite no unusual interest on the part of the treasury officials, but ir this case great care has to be talk en in removing the old carpet for it has become more variable with each days service because it is literally lined witt gold dust.
 The old carpet will be burned and it is expected that between $4, ,OOO and $5,OOO will be realized from the ashes. In the adjusting room at San Francisco files are used to trim the surplus gold from rough pieces. The gold is first TUT off into blanks and then stamped so it frequently happens that . piece is a trifle overweight or un- even. The files are then brought into play and although no particle of gold dust large enought to be detected by the eye ie allowed tc escape, the greatest care cannot always avoid the falling of some small filings on the carpet.
 In purchasing these carpets great judgment is exercised Those are sought in which tht weave is as close as possible, st that the material will hold tn, scattered bits of gold. It is no unusual for the authorities to ge l $5, 900 worth of gold from an ol f carpet.
 Other thrifty devices are used il order to capture escaped particle of gold. The floor sweepings ar treasured with the greatest cart l
 and they furnish enough money t pay the salaries of several employ es about the building. Much golt goes up the chimneYs and they ar, often scraped and the resultan soot and dirt scanned for gold Employees uho handle bars of golt are not permitted to dispose O their apron, overalls or gloves witl which they are provided, for wher these articles are burned after the, have outlived their usefulness they yield a rich harvest.

The Sunday Minneapolis Jour
nal prints the portraits Of Mr.. Geo.
Morgan and his iancee, Miss Cor
nelia Hollinshead. whose engage
ment has just been announced.
AS MI. Morgan is an old Scotland
boy the following announcement
given of the engagement will be of
interest to our readers
University of Minnesota circles are
very much interested in the engage
ments which were announced last week.
One was that of Miss Cornelia Hollins-
head and George Wagner Morgan and
the other that of Miss Carrie Armine
Watkins and Arthur Reamy Joyce.
With the exception of Miss Watkins,
who is a Chicago girl, the young peo-
pie are all members of the class of 1905
of the University of Minnesota, and
We're leaders socially and in a literary
way when they were in college. Mr..
Joyce and MI. Morgan are fraternity
brothers, both members of the Reta
Theta Pi fraternity, and Miss Hollins-
head is a member of the Delta Gamma
sorority. She was n of the authors
of her class play and took the leading
role when 1t was produced. She dis
played such talent and received such
favorable comment that for a time she
planned to make acting her chosen pro-
fession and with this in view studied
at Emerson college in Boston. Later
she went to New York, where she ap-
peared in several productions and was
very successful. Last season she played
in vaudeville for a short time, in a
sketch called stThree College Girls,
and last summer was identified with
the Frawley stock company in this
city. A romance begun in the college
however, has caused her to abandon
any thought of the stage in the future.
Mr.. Morgan, after taking a bachelor
degree in Minnesota, went to Harvard,
where ne was graduated from the Har-
ward law school in June and he is now
practicing law in st. Paul. In college
he was recognized as a thoro student.
and did some research work in which
he displayed marked scholarship.

Health and Benuty Hints.

Lack of sufficient sleep soon shows
In ones appearance.
Buttermilk is very good for remov-
ing freckles or sunburn.
Sleeping with the mouth open will
spoil the shape of the lips.
A good, brisk walk before breakfast
each morning is very beneficial.
Eight hours sleep out of the twenty
four is required for building up the
body.
When cut will not heal, saturate
piece of absorbent cotton with coal
oil and bind on.
Apply arnica to bruise if the skin
Is unbroken. If broken, wash the
bruise and apply vaseline.
For the teeth nothing is better than
FIVE drops of lemon juice in glass of
water. 1t will remove the tartar and
sweeten the breath
Sprains should be treated as quickly
as possible with hot water, after
which the part affected should be
rubbed with liniment
A hot bath up to the neck may save
the life of child in commissions if
given at once. If you have no her
mometer at hand, test the heat of the
water with the elbow.
The woman who wears the stifly
boned high collar or the high ruche
must pay special attention to the care
of the skin, else when she dons a low
necked gown her everyday neckwear
will show a tell-tale marking.

The Piano.

The busting and polishing Of the
piano, whether it be new and valuable
baby grand or the humble and more
coy upright, should never be left to
the maid, but should be done by the
daughter of the house herself. 1t
should be done with a fine cheese cloth
or linen cloth, or better still with an
old silk handkerchief There should be
neither seam nor hem in the dust cloth,
as any inequality or hardness is apt 20
scratch the piano polish
Cloudy spots are best removed by
pouring a few drops of benzine on the
dust cloth, and then rubbing very light
ly and in the same direction till they
disappear. The carved legs should be
busted with soft brush, as should also
the rack and other ornamental trim
mings.
To restore the wilderness of the keys
wash lightly and most carefully so no
moisture gets into the instrument or be-
tween the keys, with teaspoonful of
hydro super oxide dissolved In a pint
of water.
The piano should never stand close
against wall; if practicable even the
upright should stand fully out in the
room. The direct rays of the sun upon
1t, dampness and drafts all should be
carefully avoided. The piano should be
entirely opened once a month and ex-
amined for moths, which are apt to es-
tablish themselves inside the felting
and so ruin the instrument.

How so Sew ON Buttons.

The following is an excellent way Of
sewing buttons on children's coats, etc. !:
Make a good-siZed knot in your thread,
which should be fairly coarse; then
place a small pearl button on the inside
of the coat. Put the needle first
through the material, starting from
the right side of the garment, then
through the small button, then back
again through the material and right
through the big button, says Home
chat.
Continue to stitch through and
through until the button feels quite
firm, then give the thread twist or
two round the base of the top button
and finish of securely. There win then
he no fear of the buttons coming off or
tearing away the cloth.

nnnt,n For style.

What not to do if one would be
stylish includes the following precau-
lions:
1t is not wearing what other people
wear, whether it suits you or not
1t is not wearing homogeneous or IN
suitable costumes just because they are
the rage.
1t is not being overdressed or conspic-
uous or always sporting the latest nov
city,
1t is not wearing clothes that cost Al
small fortune. Taste and a knowledge
of what suits you outweigh dollars
when it comes to style.
1t is selecting things that are becom-
ing and individual, seeing that they are
always kept in Immaculate condition
and carrying oneself so as to show them
to the best advantage.
