GOLD TAKEN FROM SWEEPINGS.
Thousands of Dollars Recovered From
Waste of Silversmiths.
Recovering the lost values that lie |
in the floor cracks, the ceilings and
the sweepings of jewelry workshops,
silverware factories and other places .
where precious metals are used has
become a well established .business. !
Once the waste dump received the
sweepings and filings of jewelers and
silversmiths, no attention being paid
to the wealth thus lost and destroyed.
By new methods o” refining grains of
gold, silver and plajinum are saved
in amounts which run up to thousands
of dollars in value.
One concern which has ouilt up 2
big industry along these lines has paid
as high as $6,000 a ton for sweepings !
which once found their way into city |
dumps. For essaying sweepings a se- '
ries of one ounce samples are treated
and a variation of a hundredth of a
grain of gold in an ounce means a
difference of $15 a ton to an offer to
purchase the refuse.
Sweepings received in the rough are !

Pa’s Old Clothes
“Pa, I do wish you would look over
your old clothes and see what I may
give away,” said Ma at the Sunday
dinner table.
“All right, Ma, I will some day. 1
suppose there are some old suits I
don’t need, but I must keep some old
things—they come in handy occasion-
ally.”
“Land sakes, Pa, you have more old
clothes around than you will ever
wear in the next ten years, and some
one else may as well have the use of
them. There is that heavy gray suit
that you haven’t worn for three years;
‘it would make some poor man a good
work suit.”
“Perhaps it would,” Pa admitted.
“but I don’t want to part with that suit
just yet. You see, I may go hunting up
in Maine next fall, and that suit would
be just the thing to wear.”
“Oh, Pa,” exclaimed Jimmie, “wiil
you bring me a little bear?”
“I'll see about it, Jimmie, but Im
afraid all the bears will be grown up
by the time I get there.”
“Yes, and have grandchildren,” ob-
served Ma. “You have been saving
suits for ten years for a hunting trip
in Maine, and that is far as you ever
got, except to bring home a lot of rail-
road literature every year. And in the
meantime, thousands of poor men
have shivered through cold winters,
when your old clothes might have
kept them warm.” ;
“Gee, Ma, do you think I am Taft?
I guess you're partly right, though,”
Pa added thoughtfully. “My old
clothes might have kept at least a few
of them warm, although it would be
depriving a large family of moths of
the comforts to which they are accus-
tomed. Let the old gray suit go if
you want to.” :
“Then there is that horrible loud
continued. “You
would not wear that hunting.”
“It would scare all the game away,”
Bob commented.
“I don’t know as I will ever wear
that suit again, but I had thought we
might save it for Bob.” ’
. “Not on your checker board,” pro
tested Bob. “The fellows would guy
the life out of me.” ,
“Why, that was a dandy suit,” con-
tended Pa. “All the ladies in the of-
fice liked it, and I had thought of get-
ting another of the same style this
summer.”
“I didn’t know,” remarked Ma, with
a January atmosrhere, ‘“that the la-
dies in the office took so much inter-
est in vour apparel. But if you are
wonderful
creation, I will send it to some poor
gtablerm~n at the race course.”
All right, all right, Ma,” said Pa, in
‘gdconciliatory tone. “If you object to
my wearing anything that will indi:
cate I am alive, I will wear black all
next summer.”
“Don’t be foolish, but next time you
buy a suit I should like to go along
and see that you get something ap-
propriate. And then there are three
other suits, or parts of suits, that
some one could use.”
“But I must have some old clothes
to wear when I work in the garden,”
Pa exclaimed. “I can’t give every-
thing away.”
“True, but as you have only one
garden, I can’t see that you need three
old suits, unless you want one for
morning, and one for evening wear.
Anyway, you never wear a coat when
you work in the garden; all you need
is a pair of trousers.”
“And possibly a shirt,” observed Pa
softly. “You might also allow me a
belt.”
“Let’s go up after dinner and look
them over,” suggested Ma, ignoring
Pa’s frivolous remark.
“Today?” exclaimed Pa. “I‘haven’t
read the Sunday pa - yet. There are
a lot of good things in it, and some
day soon, but not on Sunday.”
“Now, Pa,” said Ma seriously, “you
know you will keep on putting it off
until the moths eat the clothes, or
! they drop to pieces; and in the mear-
' time, there
are men walking the
streets looking for work, and without
sufficient clothing to keep out the
wind and rain. If there is any virtue
in helping the poor, then Sunday is
just the day to do a little charitable
work.”
“You know,” sugecested Mary shyly.
“the pastor’s text this morning was.
‘I was hungry, and ye fed me; naked,
and ye clothed me.”
“I give in,” said Pa. “We will go up
and make a clean sweep of everything
that would be of service to anyone
I'll have plenty of time to read the
paper afterward.”
“Put in some of mine, too,” suggest-
ea Bob. “There are boys out of work
as well as men. I have outgrown that
blue suit and the brown one, and then
there is some underwear and a bath
ing suit.” :
“Faw do you think the unemployed
wouid look going around the streets
in a bathing suit?” asked Pa soberly
“A+, well, you can send it out to L
street anyway. Cleanliness is next to
godliiess, and you might as well make
a the "ough Sunday job of it,”
“Really, Ma,” said Pa, “I'm glad
vou tought about those old clothes. It
wili he a great satisfaction to know
they are doing some good. I was just
yesterday that I would like to
for the men out of work
