HOW THE PHILADELPHIA INSTITU

Probably not one person out of a hun
dred who pass by the Philadelphia mint,

ad Juuiptr streets, after nightfall real
izes what is going on inside. There is
l:othiog mean about Cncle Sarn, bnt bo
is determined that any ono wbo pt
Lis muy shall get it honestly and by
jToce8 duly laid down. Therefore Le
Lite taken all kinds of ptoautioo to
properly protect, eiecially at uifdir,
the minimis npnu millions piled up in
tho vaults.
The doors of the luiut are closd ev
ery wLdy prcinptly at 4 o'clock in
the afternoon. After that hour no ono
tmt mint fiuployees have any business
withiu the walls which iucloue eo much
money, and no one can either stay in
or get iu v. itbout a special permit from
the finperintendent. Needless to say,
this is difficult to obtain.
Simultaneously with tbe closing of
the dores at 4 o'clock the first fhift of
the uife'bt guard Roes on duty. The shift
is composed of the captain cf the guard
and It stalwart men. As the men file
out to U gin their round each one is
liiiudeil a tig Colt' revolver of the iuott
approved pattern and loaded with big
cartridges.
From then on till midnight seven of
the 1 pnards patrol without cessation
every floor of the inside of the mint, from
t!ic corridors of the gloomy vaults
vltere, away down in the earth, are
stowed eishty edd million dollars in
rilver and almost as much gold, to the
t'ip fiortr, where there is nothing more
r jlnable than machinery. Placed at fre
quent intervals throughout the corridors
lire electrical devices for enabling the
captain cf the guard to keep tabs on his
tven. Each of these little machines com
r:miicates with the rotunda opposite
the Chestnut street entrance to the
mint. Here it is that the captain is sta-r;n;u-d
ail through the long boors of
I;; phift. Every two minutes and a
iinlf the (vntral machine in the rotunda
denotes the presence of some one of the
guard at some particular station in the
1 nilding. If it doesn't, then the cap
tain knows that something is wrong,
and be immediately proceeds to discov
er what it is.
Hut it hus boen a long time since the
little machine, failed to send forth its
ruueuaccment at the proper time, for
the mint guards are patrolling up and
tlnwn ontside the big building, careful
ly watching that no suspicious charac
ters approach too near the vast treasure
left iu their care.
Promptly at midnight the second
rhift of the night guard puts in an ap
pearance to relieve the early shift. It
alko composed rf a captain and II
i .en, and they are split np, as the other
(tiuad, into inside and outside details.
I'rom midnight on until 7 o'clock in
the morning they follow in the foot
rteps of the first shift, with every fac
ulty alert to catch an iutrnder.
The big revolvers are not the only
veajwjiB cpon which the guards have
t. rely. On each -ide of the main cor
ridor hading from the Chestnut street
entrance stands a walnut caw. Through
the polishf d glass front of one frown
-0 Winchester rifles. The other con
tains as many ngly looking carbines.
To grab these dispensers of death would
l.e but the work of an instant for the
gaards, and then woe be unto any man
it men upon whom it might be found
iiKfssarr to tarn theui.
For the revolvers there is kept con
stantly cn hand iu the mint 500 rounds
tif ammunition, and for the rifles and
turbine- 2.500 rounds. litoh of the
guards is an expert in the use of both
the pistol and the gi.u. and each is en
lowed with a plentiful stock of cour
age; hence a combination capable of
successfully resisting almost anything
less than a regiment.
The Hiiriutojident and assistant cus
todian bHb talked to the reporter ahont
the metiioils in use to protect the mint
and its contents. I3oth smilod siguifl--jtitly
when the possibility of one get
ting away with a portion of the vast
tieasure was snggested.
"It woald be folly for any one to try
it," was the superintendent's only com
ment. To it the assistant custdian nod
tied emphatic assent
"I have beeu here for a good many
years," the latter said, "and no such
attempt has ever been made. It is prac
tically impossible for any one to broak
into the mint from the ontside, and no
we could secrete himself in the build
iuit daring the hours when it is open to
.isitur aud hope to avoid discovery.
We aearch every nook and corner of the
structure carefully as aoou as the doors
are closed fur the day, and yoo may
rest assured if any one w ho had do
busiuvss within these walls was found
lie would regret the day ho was born."
In addition to the two shifts of night
i cards, the superintendent and assistant
custodian have a habit of dropping in
at the mint at odd boars of the night to
ee that everything is going on all right
The mint is connected with the cen
tral telephone station, and should there
be trouble the captain of the guard
could communicate with police head
;narters in a brief space of time,
"If you come across anybody who
thinks be can get rich quickly by help
ing himself to our coin, " remarked the
i-nperintendent in parting, "just advise
lim to think it over carefully first"
In compliance with the euperintend
nt's suggestion the advice is hereby
given.

THE ENGLISH NOT PROFANE.
UU!e Dad l-angaage Ia LoaJoa Outside
of Petticoat Laaa.
Little rough or rude language Is used
by tho Eugli-h. They even fight with
out swearing and gt t very drunk and
noisy without employing strong lan
guage. Tbey love to chaff and guy each
other, and tbe crowds and the street
petplo who drive horses and pedd'
gcous and hang about tbe corners ao a
great deal wittier than most of osgite
them ciedit fur being, but they seldom
resort to bad language I never heard
much cf it until I went to Petticoat
lce, and I know a woman who has
lived here two years and been constant
ly about town who tells me that in that
time sho has only heard oue catb from
an Englishman's lips. The worst word
I heard ia Petticoat lane was "bloody."
That however, is the worst word I
could have heard in English opinion
it is the foulest word there ia 1 have
only heard one man nse it aud he did
not speak it He was very angry, and
he spelled it
1 am telling yon this because I know
that at home in America we associate
it with the English and put it in Eng
lishmen's months in our anecdotes, as
if it were a matter of course that it
should be nsed to give a local color to
an Enolish storv. Americans come here
aud make use of the word for the comic
value that tbey attach to it, and yet I
assure my readers that if tbey tried to
think of auy really disgusting term tbey
had ever heard and mada use cf instead
they cccid not more startle or shock
these English ears.
English sailors have brought the
word "bloody to our shores sailors
and prizefighter and stablemen, and
only such perstns cling to it bere
What we consider a very much fouler
word has a vastly wider circulation,
b t is net ccusidtred as bad as
"bloody. " All this is very strange and
requires a native to explain ll- especial
ly as bloody" ia merely the contrac
tion of the.octh "by our Lady, which
was more or less commonly used iu the
aticicnt days when this was a Roman
Catholic couutry.
Tbe pcoplo wl o try to swear without
ewearing who in our country say
"hnlly chee" and "by cnpit," all u;e.
the word "blooming" over here. "I
can't very bloom iu well make yon boy
this bloomin tbitirr, but I'll ave a
blootuin try at it," is what I heard
street fa'.;ir s-uy to a crowd tho other
day There is no harm in that at all.
aud it is much rjoro typically English
than tho word "blocdy. " besides being
decent.
