Government Loses in Coining Gold, bu'
Profits on the Pennies.
A strange tiling about our coining
system is that the government loses
money in coining gold, but makes a
big profit in coining pennies, says the
Boston Herald. For instance, in a
ten-dollar gold piece there is exactly
ten dollars* worth of gold and ten
per cent, of copper—put in to harden
the precious metal—besides the cost
of minting. A silver piece of money
is about half profit, but the penny
pays Uncle Sam best of all, as the
blanks are purchased at the rate of
$7,300 per million. That is, the
United States government obtains
for 7 3-10 cents .the copper blanks
which by the process of stamping are
transformed into one dollar’s worth
of pennies.
W hat becomes of the millions of
pennies coined each year by the,gov
ernment is an unsolved problem. To
supply the' demand the mint at
Philadelphia must keep on turn
ing out new pennies at an aver
age rate of 4,000,000 per month.

n ing, of course, in a copper mine. By
the process of smelting the copper is
separated from the iron or lead or
silver in the ore and is bought by
agents who sell it to a firm in Water
bury, Conn.,who are under a contract
to supply the government with cop
per blanks—that is, pennies un
damped. At Waterbury the new cop
per is melted and mixed with tin and
fine, according to a recipe prescribed
ay the treasury department at Wash
ngton, and then hardened into
iricks. These are cut into slices the
hickness of a cent and the strips are
aassed through the machines with
punches that work up and down with
norrnous pressure and stamp out the
ittle round disks just the size of a
jenny. These blanks are put up in
trong boxes and sent by express to
he mint at Philadelphia, where they
ire stamped with the head on one :
ide and the denomination on the
'ther.

WALKING AS A PLEASURE.
One That In Mure Enjoyed by EiiKlinh
Women Than liy Their Anier
lean Slater*.
The fondness of the English people
for walking is .a cause for comment by
every American tourist in “the tight
little isle,” and they cannot avoid not
ing the contrast between English and
American women in this respect. An
observant American lady in discussing
the subject notes the fact that English
girls speak of a walk as a pleasure and
notice all kinds of interesting things
by the way. To this- she attributes the
absence of nervous, tired expressions
from their faces.
The natural corollary to this is that
American women might profitably
follow the example of their cousins,
which is probably true. It would un
doubtedly be a good thing if every
woman and girl in this country could
walk five or ten miles without over
weariness when in a normal condition
of health, aiwl there is not much doubt
that most of them could be trained to
do it if the conditions and climate
were favorable. This has been proved
in the women’s colleges; where walk
ing happens to be fashionable. There
is no woman’s college where the ma
jority of the girls are not fairly good
walkers, and where some of them can
not keep it up all day without fatigue.
T?ut there are a good many difficul
ties in the way of the American girl
when she undertakes to exercise. Tf
she lives in a town she must travel a
considerable distn*nce to get to a point
where there is anything1 amusing in
walking, and then she runs the risk of
meeting undesirable characters. The
girl herself may not be much afraid of
tramps, but her family usually raise
objections, and it is the exceptional
girl who can always command a com
panion in her rambles. In short, this
country is in the half-settled condi
tion, materially and socially, in which
it is not as convenient for the average
woman to take long walks ns it is in
the country districts of England.
Iiltrralnre ns n Trade.
To write successfully means to serve
a long and hard apprenticeship; it
means to do many things badly in or
der to learn to do a few things well;
to read many authors, and good ones;
to live with words till one knows their
value, and it means, too, that one must
know something about the reality of
ife. In short, writing is a trade, just
like bookbinding or type-setting. It is
different, of course; it has a higher ,
side, we believe, but to think only of
the higher side, and ignore the trade
part of it. is to prepare one’s self for a
ireat disappointment. Decidedly the
lovice should not expect to earn pin

Patient Follows Doctor's Directions

Get W ell.
A Macclesfield man was in a very bad way
of health. After much anxious thought he
determined to consult a doctor, relates Lon
don Tit-Bits.
The latter, after a most minute exam
ination, pronounced the jiatient to be suf
fering from a severe form of dyspepsia, and
prescribed for him accordingly. He was
.cry particular in giving full directions as
to diet.
A light breakfast—cup of cocoa, dried
toast, and other simple fare; plain dinner
—chop, no potatoes, glass of claret; and
only one cigar per day. He was most care
ful to impress the tact upon the patient’s
mind that the one cigar should never be ex
ceeded.
The patient went away and returned in
a week worse than ever. The doctor was
nonplussed.
Upon inquiries lie found that the man
had most faithful*)' carried out all his in
structions to the letter.
“I know what it is.” replied the man of
medicine. “You’vtf had more than one
cigar a day. It’s the smoking that's done
it.”
“Yes; I know that, doctor. It is the
smoking; but I've only had one cigar a:
a time, and that was rjuite enough, for I
never smoked in my life until you toll
me to!”

Once upon a time, from behind the cur

garment was changed to a cloth of gold, new

Rev. Dr. Minot J. Savage tells the follow
ing story, of which he claims not to tee the
point, to illustrate the guilelessness of mein
uers of his profession, says the New Yolk
I'ribune. A clergyman and a prosperous
layman were one day discussing the various
aspects of the minister's occupation. Final
ly the layman said, a little bit scornfully:
"The trouble with you parsons is that you
are not practicaj.”
"But 1 insist that that is exactly what we
are,” replied the clergyman, warmly.
"No, you're not,” said the layman, firmly.
“Well, how do you make that out?” in
quired the indignant parson.
"Well, I’ll tell you. You had an offer to
m to Boston at a salary of $5,000 didn't you.?”
"Yes.”
"And you’re getting $3,000 here?”
"Well, what of that?”
“Nothing—except you said you had a call,
didn't vou?”
"Yes.”
"Well, that wasn’t a call at all. It was a
raise.”

Have You Kidney
or Bladder Trouble?
The Oase of Mrs• Nancy Ball>
There are no diseases ihat more quickly and surely derange the entire constitution than
Kidney or Bladder trouble, and it behooves every mun and woman suffering from these diseases
to have themselves cured at once. The body depends upon the Kidaeys to throw off the waste
matter of the system, and when it fuils to do this the result is an iorerferenco with digestion, a
sudden stoppage of the free circulation of the blood and a serious weakening of the heart.
Also rheumatism could not exist if it were not for weak and deranged Kidneys.
JtjMjl
Mrs. Nancy Ball, proprietor of the Ball
Bouse, Columbia, Miss., says : “ l was for a
long time a great sufferer from dropsy
complicated with Kidney and Biiidder trou
bles; my feet and hands were swollen and
at times 1 was unable to walk about. My
family physician had exhausted his skill in
the treatment of my case without giving me
any relief. 1 was then Induced to give
Smith's Sure Kidney Cure a trial and to my
utter astonishment the first bottle relieved
me. and I am In perfect health and able to
attend to all my duties about the hotel. 1
consider Smith's Sure Kidney Cure the great
est medicine of the age.”
MRS. NANCY BALL, Columbia, Miss.
SMITH'S SURE KIBNEY CURE contains nothing harmful, but nevertheless it will
entirely cure Bright's Disease, diubetes. dropsy, gravel, stone In the bladder, bloated bladder,
frequent desire to urinate, pains in the back. legs, sides and over the Kidneys, swelling of the
feet and ankles, retention of urine, scalding pain in the bladder, wetting the bed—in short, every
form of Kidney, bladder and urinary trouble in man, woman or child.
