UNCLE SAM'S FIRST MINT. The First Regular Coins Were Turned Out by Horse Power. The act establishing the United States mint was passed April, 1792, and steps were at once taken to erect a suitable structure in which to domicile the new de partment. The seat of the federal govern ment was in tlie state house and other buildings in Independence Square, and it was desirable that the mint be located as near the spot as possible. A site was secured upon the east side of 7th street, above Sugar alley, afterward called Farmer and now known as Filbert street. Here a plain brick building was erect ed in the summer of 1792. The coining presses arrived from England in Septem ber and operations began in the early part of October, the material for starting coining, six pounds of old copper, hav ing been purchased a few days before. The machinery of the mint was moved by horse power. The tirst regular return of coins to the treasury was made .March 1, 1793, and consisted of 11,178 cents. The renowned scientist, David Kitteu liouscf was nppointed director of the the mint April 14, 1792, within a fortnight after the passage of the act referred to above. He was eminently qualified for the position and was thoroughly imbued with a sense of the responsibility attaching to his office. It is related that upon more than one oc casion he paid bills for mint supplies out of his private funds because he con sidered them exorbitant, llis spacious residence was at the northwest corner of Seventh and Arch streets, but a short distauce from the mint. Rittenliousc died in 179 G. and the second director of the mint was another prominent per sonage, Dr. Elias Houdinot, whose name is still a well-known one to Philadel phia's. The famous Rose Ilill estate in Kensington, where the patriot lived, is now being rapidly hidden from sight under thousands of dwellings, but the Roudinot school house at Indiana and I) streets perpetuates the memory of the family. As the nation grew older and richer enlarged facilities for coining money became imperative, and, accordingly, a site was procured on Chestnut street, west of Juniper street, and here the present structure was begun in 1829. The new building was occupied in 1831. The architects engaged upon the plans, William Strickland, John Haviland and others, endeavored to design a structure as nearly classical as the purposes of the building would permit. With the various changes and additions made of late years, particularly the mansard roof put on by Superintendent Fox, the effect lias been in a great measure destroyed and the tiny building is overshadowed on every side by lofty structures which dwarf its appearance and make the most important government office in the coun try seem mean and insignificant.—[Phila delphia Times. Story of a House. The Listener has often passed the Welch house in Sotnerviile, Mass., which for some twenty years has been unoccu pied. The story of it, as related by the neighbors, is a tragedy rather than a ro mancc. Samuel Welch was betrothed to a young woman, : u 1 built this hand some and comfortul 1 j brick house for her home. Rut before the day set for the marriage, the youug woman heard that it was by means of a lottery ticket that Welch had made his money; aud then, being a person of stern and un bending American principles, she told hiui, simply and flatly, that she wouldn't have him with his ill-won riches. Welch was not a man to take such a rebuff easily. lie boarded up the doors and windows of his new house almost as tight as the very bricks iu the walls, and banished himself, to wander up and down the country. Rut lie took good carc that the house should be looked after in a certain way. The boards were taken care of, so that the house abated nothing of its hermetically sealed look, aud the yard was mowed at least ouce a year, so that not a tree or a shrub grew up there —nothing but weeds and coarse grass. Five years ago the Listener was told by a neighbor that the place had been in this condition for fifteen years. It is dreary enough for almost any sort of story about it, and if the house lias not the reputation of being haunted, it must be because it has been boarded up so tightly that not even a ghost could get in, and of course the ghosts must get in from the outsido for nobody ever died or lived in the house. Samuel Welch's melancholy life ended last November, and his heirs arc quarreling over the estate, now grown to very respectable proportions. If his ghost has any sense of the fitness of things, it will come back now and haunt the long deserted house in Somcrvilie.— [Roston Transcript. Sleeping Under the Snow. The case of Mrs. Elizabeth Wood cock, who survived loug burial under snow, may be known to many readers. This woman, forty-two years of age. of Impington, a village three miles north of Cumbridge, lost her way in returning home from market on Saturday evening, February 2, 1799, and was buried seven feet deep in the snow. In this state she continued eight night 9 and eight days, when she was dug out alive on Sunday, February 10. She retained the full pos session of her senses all the while she was immured. She died July 24, 1799. A somewhat similar case occurred in the snowstorm of 1890. A middle-aged woman, named Alice Jane Lowe, belong ing to Wignn, was admitted into Spald ing Workhouse in a very weak state, having been found by the relieving offi cer sleeping out iu the snow in the Lin colnshire Fens, near Spalding. She was put to bed, and then stated that shh had slept out for five weeks continuous ly, including, within the last few days, the severest weather of the year, when the snow covered the ground to the depth of nearly a foot. The poor wom an's hair was in such a matted state that it had to bo all cut oIT. She stated that she had tramped from Lancashire,where she had formerly becu in domestic ser vice, and at the timo she was found in the snow she appeared to have lost her way. The workhouse officials consider it most remarkable that the woman sur vived the exposure and cold. —[Leisure Hour. Struck by Lightning, "During a heavy storm lost Septem ber," said Dr. Albert Nays of Itnka, I. T., who is stopping at the Lindell, "there was a young man in our town who was killed by lightning and his body was made the subject of a scientific post morttm to discover how the electric bolt had done its fatal work. "His eyebrows and eyelashes were burned olf, his eyeballs were dried up; all his left side was scorched and burned in spots down to the ankle, while the right side of his body and right leg were uninjured. "Serious as these injuries were, none of them appeared sufficient to have caused instant death. Rut as soon as the breast was opeued tha cause of death was apparent. The lungs were fright fully cougested, and the heart was enor mously dilated and filled with coagula ted blood.

Cuban Women. Notwithstanding the decline in the fortunes of the Cuban planters, their houses are very agreeable interiors and their hospitality is unaffected and charm ing. It is difficult for a foreigner to break the ice and to establish confiden tial relations with the planters; but when this has been done invitations follow and there ure frequent glimpses of Cuban home life. So rigid are the require ments of custom and etiquette that it is only at home and in the presence of members of the household that well-born daughters are to be seen at all. They arc not suffered to go out alone before marriage. It is even considered in decent for them to walk in the streets, so that they are always in carriages and attended by chaperons when they have calls to make or shopping to do. It is only when they are at home in the con ventional reception-rooms furnished with long rows of cane scat rocking chairs that their acquaintance can be made, and then only under watchful supervision of the senoras. After mar riage they arc supposed to be able to take care of themselves. They are little women. Short in stature, plump and well rounded in figure, graceful and supple in movement, with dark eyes that flash at night and melt by day. Like the beautiful wild flowers of the Cuban woods they mature very early; and they fade as rapidly. The prettiest girl will be plain long be fore she is thirty. Handsome women in middle life arc never seen in the tropics, but only in the temperate zone. The beauty and charm of Cuban women is evanescent, but real and irresistible while it lasts. In its days of prosperity Mat anzas was famous for the comeliness of its daughters. The tradition does not seem to have passed away with the glory of its wealth and commercial prestige.— [New York Tribune. Tireless Mexican Soldiers. The Mexican troops of Santa Anna, during our war with their country, per formed prodigies of marching, writes John F. Finerty. "Defeated by Taylor at Hueua Vista in the end of February, 1847, they marched fully one thousand miles over the roughest part of Mexico to Cerro Gordo, and were strongly in trenched in that position early in April. The battle of Cerro Gordo was fought on the 17th of that month in the year mentioned. The troops were almost barefooted, and their chief subsistence on the long march was the rude corn pancake, called the tortilla, washed down with alkaline water. An ordinary Mexican regiment of foot, even in our own time, considers sixty miles a day nothing too much of a march. I remem ber having seen a battalion entering the grand plaza of the City of Mexico one evening in February, 1879. and the col onel told my companion, General Holly wood, that his men had made over seventy miles since before daybreak. Such a march was considered by no means uncommon in that service. The men move in light order and wear san dals, which give them perfect freedom of motion. The rank and tile of the Mexican infantry arc ludians, almost to a man.—[Chicago Herald. Natural Gas and Climate. "The natural gas theory?" laughingly said Charles J. Piersou, of Indiaua, at the Ashland House. "Have you heard of that? Well, it is exciting a good deal of comment with us, and I think deser vedly so. You know that Indiana is now held responsible for the lack of cold winters in Detroit and Chicago and along the lower line of Michigan. The theory is simply this: Underneath the localities mentioned there is a vast sub te; rancau reservoir, in which the gas has been stored for ages past. You know that certain combinations of gas will make cold. The gas wells of Richmond, lnd., give out over 15,000,000 feet of gas a day. This waste lias been going on for years. This drain is thought suf ficient to make a change In the climate j of those places above the subterranean reservoirs, notably Chicago and Detroit.

Seed for the culture of rubber lias been sown in Ceylon aud the seedlings are reported to be nourishing among the jungle. It is suggested that a large tract of country could easily be covered with profitable trees by simply collecting and sowing broadcast every year in the belts or useless jungles adjoining the estates a few bushels of the seed of the Ceara rubber tree which grows in the island. These patches of rubber trees might in time come to be much better and an infinitely surer investment than cinchona, which has been largely culti vated, now is.—[New York Telegram. Ocean Cables.

A storage room for many years' nccu mutation of knickkna< ks, notions and bric-a-brac of every description, dusty and dingy, is always full of interest. It was a Cincinnati Times-Star reporter's good fortune to stumble on to two of these places. They were the workshops of ivory carvers and wood-turners. One was littered with tooU of every shape, some covered with the dust ol twenty years; all sorts of fancy shaped pieces of ivory, wood and rubber; in fact, a general collection, very interest ing and hard to describe, filled the shop. Noticeable above all was the yellow cat, the queen of the shop, that dozed ma jestically on the workman's desk. This shop belonged to a pleasant-faced, rather old German, who for twenty-two years has worked at his same trade in this same warm room. He is an ivory carver, a worker in fancy woods and rubber, and in fact in any material out of which cau be fashioned something artistic. The trade of the ivory carver is but a shade of what it used to be. The vari ous machines of modern invention do the work that formerly gave employment to scores of these artists. And another I thing is the "cheap" taste that has de- ! velopcd. Rone and celluloid work sat isfies the majority nowadays, little be ing done in real ivory. This ivory artist learned his trade iu the old country and came to Cincinnati to follow it up, and this was twenty-two years ago. Then the demand for artis tically carved ivory was good. No such institutions as celluloid were thought of. Mother of-pearl work, inlaid gold and silver work, Ac.—nothing was too fine. Rut now this is all changed. The work of the carver is coutined principally to penholders, paper knives, needles, dice and a few such articles, and any elabor ate piece of work is only to fill an order. The carver talked remorsefully of the decline of this specialty. "No," said he, with a shake of his gray head. "I can't make a specialty of ivory carving like I would. People want only the cheap imitation now. When I first came I could not do the work, and it was fine work, too. "I learned my trade in Germany, where most all of us did. What else do I do? I do most anything with fancy woods. I use boxwood, rosewood anil ebony principally. Police club 3, canes, inlaid work, electric supplies, hardwood handles. All sorts of gambling layouts I make, only to order, though. I make loaded dice when ordered. 1 make some billiard balls, too, but not many. Here is a piece of walrus tusk. 1 used to work in that, too. Wc use only the out side of a walrus bone, for the heart is too yellow. I also shape horns and dec orate them and work iu amber. And my cat here," concluded he, "is a very es sential adjunct of the shop. She kills the rats, and these rats, if thoy had a chance would eat the varnish from all my fine work." "Where do you get your ivory?" "From New York city, and all of the wood I use comes from there. That is where most all of the fine ivory carviug is done now." "Is ivory work cheaper now than it was!" "The work has to be cheaper, but the ivory costs about the same." The other antique shop discovered was on a smaller scale. There was not the varied collection of fancy articles to be seen. The workman has given up fancy carving altogether. He turns billiard balls for some big firm. He works in hard wood at odd times. Here, too, there were numerous gambling devices discovered. Dice, large dice the size of a walnut, turned from ivory, were being spotted. This carver tulked iu the same strain as the others. "I devote my line altogether to billiard balls and some little wood turning. It used to be a paying business, this ivory carving, but that was years ago." Diamond Mines. Geologists have proved that the dia mond mines of South Africa arc situated in vents or chimneys, varying from about seventy feet to 1,500 feet in diameter, and descending vertically through the schists which form the ordinary strata of the district. These vents arc filled up with fragments ot silicated and magnes ia n rocks, in which the diamonds are scattered, and before the diggings began each was capped by a hillock or "kopje." They are seventeen in number, and run in a straight line about 120 miles. The question of their origin has recently been discussed by M. Daubree, a well-known French geologist, at a meeting of tlio Academic des Sciences, Paris/ They have, of course, been opened by an erup tive force from the interior of the earth's crust, but they differ from the usual vol canic cracks of fissures. M. Daubree at tributes them to the outburst of impris oned gases, and has made a number of experiments at the Laboratoirc Centrale des Poudres et Salpctres iu Paris, to prove his theory. Explosions of dyna mite aud gun cotton were made in a steel cylmdir or mortar, and the escaping gases made to perforate masses of rock. Limestone, gypsum, slate, granite, por celain, glass, crystal and steel were all fractured and bored in this manner. It follows from his experiments that gases at a high velocity, say exceeding 1300 metres a second, and especially when aided by heat, are powerful agents of geological erosion. They are able to bore regular vents or chimneys in rocks, if there is a crack or fissure to concentrate their energy in one spot. The diamond vents of South Africa are, in his view, the effect of compressed gases exploding from the interior of the earth at certain points along a line of fissure; and the strhc or grooves observed on the sides of the vent aro another proof of this expla nation.—l Roston Transcript. Alaska is Rich in Fish. The smelt of Alaska are large aud very plentiful. They resemble our Eastern smelt in nppearance. The range of the species is from the Bristol Bay region to Point Barrow, and they are most abun dant from the early part of September until November. They abound in shel tered bays and tide creeks. Still another smelt occurs around the shores of the Gulf of Alaska, which is identical with one of the California species and a very excellent food fish. The capclin is found among all parts of the coast and is one of the most important food species of the cod and salmon. Eulaclrou are very com mon in the Gulf of Alaska, particularly at Katmai, on the peninsula of Alaska where they have been salted and meet ready sale. The foregoing representatives of the salmon family have been reviewed simply to call attention to the wealth of the territory in superior food fishes. Their commercial importance up to the present time is small, but they will fig. uro eventually and very prominently among the resources of Alaska. There is no doubt that many of the small marine species play a very important part in attracting the larger commercial species of the salmon family to certain localities. - -[Washington Star.

So one day when Bill i Stevens had jumped a poor man's claim, | the Massachusetts fellows resolved to j give liiin a good old-fashioned jury trial.
