Probably Dutch Invention Of the Sew.
entssnth Century.
The history Of sash windows is some
what obscure, but the probability is
that they were a Dutch invention and
that they were introduced into Eng
land soon after the revolution of 1858.
The derivation Of the word sash" in
this sense Is the Dutch ''sas," a sluice
old English ''sasse." In Queen Anne's
reign they Were yet 30 comparatively

MINTING OUR DIMES.
The Way The Silver Coins Are Made
Counted and Packed.

Countoo ana Packed.
The process Of dime making il an
interesting one. The silver bullion Is
first melted and run into two pound
bars. These In turn are run through
immense rollers and fiattened out to
the thickness Of the coin These silver
strips are then passed through a ma
chine, which cuts them into proper size
for the presses, the strips first having
been treated with a kind of tallow to
prevent their being scratched in their
passage through the cutters.
The silver pieces are then put into
the feeder Of the printing presses and
are fed to the die by automatic ma
chinery at the rate Of 100 per minute,
$4,000 dimes being turned out in a
regular working day Of eight hours.
AS the smooth pieces are pressed be-
tween the ponderous printing dies they
receive the lettered and figured i'm
preston in a manner similar to that
Of a paper pressed upon a form Of
type. At the same time the piece Is
expanded In a slight degree, and the
small corrugations are cut into its rim
The machine drops the completed
coin into a receiver, and it Is ready
for the counters, hands. The instru-
ment used by the counter Is not a
complicated machine by any means. as
one might suppose. 1t is a simple cop
per colOred tray, having raised ridges,
running across Its surface at a dis
lance apart the exact width Of a dime.
From the receiver the money IL
dumped on the board or tray, and as
1t is shaken rapidly by the counter
the pieces settle down into the spaces
between the ridges. All these spaces
being filed, the surplus coin Is brush
ed back into the receiver, and the
counter has exactly 1.25O silver dimes,
or $125, on his tray. which number is
required to I'LL the spaces. The tray
Is then emptied into boxes, and the
money is ready for shipment.-St. Louis

RICE FIELDS OF JAPAN.

Mostly Tiny Gardens, but They Fed
100000 People
Almost one half of the land capable
Of cultivation in japan Is planted In
rice. Handkerchief gardens would
perhaps best describe the little rice
fields, many Of which are no larger
than q tennis court, are equally fat
and are surrounded by rims of earth
to hold the water when the fields are
flooded. The average rice field in ia
paan Is about one acre and a half In
size; but, large or small. each field
must be leveled, and each must have
its rim or dixie. Then there must be
u system Of canals to bring water to
the fields and another system of ditch
es to take it away when It is no longer
needed.
II the land were fairly level the
preparation Of the ground, which Is
all done by hand, would not be go
hard nor would 1t require such vast
amounts Of human labor, but Japan
Ia a mountainous country. Terraces
must be cut from the steep hillsides
and 30 leveled that they will hold the
water at a uniform depth over the
small fields.
1t is said that there are $4,000
square miles of rice land In japan, the
greater part Of which has been pre-
pared with an almost infinite amount
of labor. That area Of land cultivat-
ed in rice virtually feeds a nation Of
$4,000. 900 people.
The little fields are usually perma-
nent, and frequently a farmer owns
three or four scattered fields. That
further increases the work Of caring
for his crops. In recent years, how
ever, the government has tried to con-
solidate the holdings Of farmers by a
process of land exchange. - Youths
