Music of Gold Under Woman's Caresses

the last touch making for metallic perfection
"A before the eagle and the head OF the Goddess
of Liberty are impressed by the big mint machines,
the deft touch of woman's hand is necessary to
complete the grosser toll of the men and the ma
chimes 1t is the old charm of wOmans exquisite
influence Man has done his best when he delivers
to the women of the mint planchets that shine like
miraculous golden mirrors. These she now weighs
and adjusts taking notice of variations as slight as
one-terl-t thousandth of gram.
These women gold adjusters sit always IN a room
whose windows are kept closed; for even the I'M
papable powder of gold dust, fretted away by the
kisses of the files, must be accounted for.
All the day the gold workers take the
adorable planchets of five. ten and twenty dollar
gold coins and file them to the exact legal welght; ;
rolling very gently but firmly the golden buttons
against file whose teeth all but invisible;
moving minute dust of gold carefully that the
file leaves the slightest trace on the SHINING
surface Fifteen hundred of these luminous gold
disks passing through the hand OF each worker are
a dav work
In this room YOU must think of the most musical
sounds YOU ever heard. There is the wind IN the
trees at night and the call of the and the vaguely
audible of the palm leaves; but the orderly
delicate clinking of hundreds of golden planchets,
softly falling makes the imagination sweep with
wide wings And woman's caress is then the last
human touch in preparing gold disks for the unsuitable
laws of the stamp maChneS,-and 1t IS the last to be
forgotten when the poetry of the mint comes back IN
memory.
In another chamber the stamp machines impress
the reeding milling the edges OF the gold and
once more the coins anneaed IN cherry colored
fires dipped acid and polished till they gleam like
stars in the night Then with quick strokes, one by
one but very fast, the planchets receive the eagle
and the medallion of liberty, and the stream OF
twenty dollar coins pours forth faster than you
wink YOUR eyes; yes half a million dollars, each
working hour, falling from five money making ma
