GoLD-BEARING CARPET.
Floor Coverings That Grow Valuable
With Age.


A requisition has come to the Treas
ury Department from the San Francisco
mint asking that new carpet be placed
in the adjusting room, as the one there
now has been worn out after ten years
service In ordinary instances such a
requisition would excite no unusual in
terest on the part of the Treasury officials,
but in this case great care has to be taken
In removing the old carpet. for it has be-
come valuable with each days service,
because it is literally lined with gold
dust.
The old carpet will be burned, and
it is expected that between $4,000 and
5000 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 run
off into blanks and then stamped. SO 1t
frequently happens that piece Is trif1e
over weight or uneven. The files are then
brought into play, and although no parti-
Gle of gold dust large enough to be readily
detected by the eye is allowed to escape,
the greatest care cannot always avoid the
falling of some small filings to the car
pet.
In purchasing these carpets great judg
rnent is exercised. Those are sought in
which the weave is as close as possible.
so that the material will hold the scat
tered bits of gold. 1t is not unusual for
the authorities to get $1,000 worth of gold
from an old carpet. Other thrifty devices
are used in order to capture escaped par
ticles of gold. The floor sweepings are
treasured with the greatest care, and they
furnish enough money to pay the salaries
of several employees about the building.
Much gold goes up the ohimneys. and they
are often scraped and the resultant SCOT
and dirt scanned for gold. Employees who
handle bars Of gold are not permitted to
dispose of the aprons. overalls or gloves
with which they are provided, for when
these articles are burned after they have
outlived their usefulness they yield q rich
harvest.

Christian Citizenship.

From the Salt Lake City Deseret News.
We believe, however, that all over the
country citizens are beginning to under
stand the duties and responsibilities OF
Christian citizenship. They are beginning
to realize that the functions OF govern
ment are not for selfish ends; that the
government machinery Is not placed in
the hands of the strong for the oppres-
sion of the weak. but in order to defend
the weak against brute force, to dis
pense Justice. to lift men up out of dark
ness and ignorance and bondage. to the
level of sons and daughters of God. But
this end can be gained only when men
and women with education. and filled
with the spirit of unselfishness. take an
interest In public affairs and use their
influence effectively against that of the
immoral element. The service of Chris
tian men and women is an absolute ne
cessity If government is to be redeemed
from the curse of corruption and vice,
anarchy and revolution.
