How Silver is Ki lined. An employe of the Philadelphia mint says in th.' New York Sun: "Our visitors never tiro of seeing silver dis appear iu tho big tank. There stiruls a big tank of boilingwater, apparently, and wo drop in lumps of silver, and they disappear iu a second. Hut we take good care to get them buck again. It is not boiling water iu the tank, but boiling nitric acid, which is colorless ami looks precisely like fio much, water. We take the metal Hint in supposed to e silver, or to contain metal that is supposed to be silver, or to contain silver mid cut it into sinsll pieces mi I throw them into the tank, and in the twinkling of an cyo they are gone, i.n.l nothing is to be seen but the clear boiling l ipiid. Of course the silver is not gun", for even boiling nitric acid cannot destroy silver or any other metal ; it inwrely chnnges its properties and converts the silver into nit rale of silver, w hich is it culorlc- fluid like the neid. All the base met il that may be mingled with it is de stroyed, practically, for it is converted into other nitrates, which arc thrown away. We might rescue the base met als by several simple processes, but we have nothing to do with them. Our business is to recover tho lique fied silver. "The liquid is drawn from the tank into largo tubi, and a little silt water is poured into them. I iini.ediiitely n whitish Hi'dimeiit begins to form aud full to tho bottom to precipitate, as we call it. This is the silver again, but in another form. The salt has converted it into chloride of silver. Die sediment looks like slaked lime, and to the touch fools like soft cheese. After it lias all settled wo pour off the acid, and the tubs are half full of chloride of silver. "The deposit is put in n hydraulic. press and presse 1 into ro.iud cakes that look very much like huge eliecses. lliese cttKcH are 1 lion treated with spelter or y.inc, which turns them into metallic silver ngnin. When gold and silver are massed together the mass is boiled in nitric acid, which does not aff.-ct the gold, but dissolves the silver. The n suiting nitrate of silver hits to he draw n eft' carefully w ith a big siphon. Tint acid liquelies any met:d except gold or the Htill mote costly platinum, so the siphon used is made of gold and contains .l)0t worth of It. "I have explained these processes to you to convime you that no mutter w hat uses gold or silver miiv hnvo been put to before they reach tho mint, they nro absolub ly pure when they are turned out in coin. Nothing can go through that bath of acid with out losing all its impurities. Some strungo things happen in the big acid tank. Wo have had big consignments of rare old family plate that ilii ap peared utterly w'heti the neid took hold of them. That is, there was no silver whatever in the articles, though all the ordinary tests led ns to believe that they were made of bullion. Tho acid always tells the utory and tells it truthfully.

CHILDREN'S (OLl.MY Tr.SHIR H LAWN PAKTT, "I am going to have a law n party !" announced Tessa Cunio, one hot .fill morning. Her audience of four looked inter ested. "Like the big on:; we :nw last night?" usked l-'ilipa. T Hsu nodded. "Where will it be?" asked l'liin zi ke. "Oh, up here," replied Tessi, earo-les-ly. "I'ji here wits a triangular tin roof, three stories above t!lo street, w h-ro Mamma Cimi and Mamma Sehmelt-Zi-r hung their washing, where the two papas smoked t heir pipes on l-.ot li'ghts mid where the children pi ived week iu nnd week out. The building itself was iu th" shape of a llatil'oli, b. Hill. led on two sides by biuvling city streets, mid on the other by the steam railway tracks that run through the heart of the town. There were tour floors in the front and three iu the rear, nud the ('uuios mid the Sehmeltzers occupied the fourth story mid the tin roof upon which their bliek window, opened. I'aj.a Cunio Kept a fruit and penuut stand lit olli rner of the building, between the iiiih'oail nud the sidewalk, nud Pupa Selmiell.er worked in u big factory; the families were very friendly. Papa Cunio was not in a good humor that liioriiillg. A boy had bee.'i steal ing some of his peaches, and thieving boys always m i le h la cross. So when TVs u beg red for il few b.inaniis and peanuts fur her party he would give her nothing. This was disappointing --to think of a lawn party with no dainties to eat ! Hut Tessa did not despair; i-he never despaired. Tessa was always happy. Kven now when her fath r left her iu charge of the fruit stnud while he attended to some outside business, her bright smile seemed to attract customers, for she was kept busy most of the time. As she wits cutting oil' some bananas for a lady her quick eye caught sight of it boy, who luel been lemiiii;' neiillot a farther corner of the stand, adroitly tucking a pencil into his loose sleeve.

Instantly all was confusion. The boy tried to escape, but a train whizzed by at the moment nnd cut oft his prog ress across the track ; strong hands grasped him, and he was caught. Pupa Cunio arrived iu time to sen him carried off by the policeman, and ho was overjoyed. Ah, yes, l'apa Cunio would give his darling daughter mnthing now I Peaches, penis, apples, bananas, grapes nnd nuts, all went into her up held apron, and Tessa nn omted the three long (lights of stairs, as de lighted a child as there was iu the w hole city. Ilel 'ue and Fianziske Schmeltzer were on hand at the appointed hour that aft rnooti, both in their Sunday frocks of white muslin, with blue vel vet bodices and blue hair ribbons. Tessa and l-'ilipa nud their little brother, Marco, were in their best at tire. Two Chinese lanterns, left over froin the Fourth of July celebration, were suspended from the clothes line, and gave tho roof quite a festive np pearmice. Tho children daiced and ran races, around and around, till it was a won der they did not tumble ulT into the street below ; i ill tin y were used to the dangerous phtyg round, ami imsucb calamity took place, Tliogran.l feature of the party wr.s the supper, which was served upon n soap -box tluit 'J'essu had cnrefully scrubbed.

Schmeltzer contributed small biscuits, nnd Mamma Cunio n little cake, to the entertainment ; and the children uto mid ate aud laughed and chattered till Papa Schmeltzer came home from tho factory. When he saw w hat w as going on he went dow n to the street ngnin, and pretty soon he appeared on tho roof with a pitcher of lemonade and a dish ol candy, which wound up tho feast most delightfully. "I want another law n party, and an other lawn parly, nud another lawn party !" said little Marco, ns tho guests bade him good night. Youth's Coiiipn nioii.

A Machine that Counts Coins by tho Shovelful. A:i employe of the Philadelphia mint in an interview with a New York Him reporter siys: "I suppose you know how to tell where any American coin was made. The mint nt Philadelphia was th:- first one in this country, afier others were estab lished it was for a long tiin" the head establishment, th" limits at New Orleans, H.in Francisco nu I Carson City b ing branches ; but a few years ago eaeh mint win in ulo a separate concern.

An s shows that the coin was made iu Han Fmneisco ; I-. c, stan Is for Car son ( 'ity, but ymi will not find that on any new coins, ns no coining is done iu ('arson City at present. " l ie; Mint's neighbors iu Philadel phia have bee nu.' Used to hearing a fusillade of firearms in our courtyard every liiou'h, as .'hough wo were hav ing a battle. Th" law requires ns to keep a supply of tirenrins it'id direct how they shall be hull. lied. In the eorri lor elo ; ! to the ussay ofliee, are two rucks an 1 u luge cabin t. Th: racks contain twenty rifles, with bayo nets nttaehail, and the cibinet is tilled with revolvers. It is uecesMiry to have these things to defend the gov-erini-iit's prop -rty with iu else of at tack by a iu ib, for there is too noli money in tliii building t i take any chances. Wo h ive at present about .l."ill,l)'IO,ll':) worth of gold and silver deposit ;d i;i the vaults, bes'.des a great number of re!io iu the inu-eiim that could not b.i r -pi J. Uy an ivt of Congress we are required to have the firearms exaniiu"d every day, and they all have to bo tired and eleaue I once a month. When the twenty night watchmen go on duty in the after noon they take the revolvers from the cabinet nn 1 lay them in convenient places ahuiit the building. "There are many other curious things about I'ltele S nun -I'm mints. I siippo.se you Know that two men are under heavy bonds for the siift-kecp-ing of the treasure iu each mint. One of these is the director of the mint, who has charge of nil the establish ments, and the other is the superinten dent of each mint, livery vault door has two locks, nnd there is a man for each key, hi that the door einiiot be unlocked without the presence of both men. One of the men represents the superintendent. "One of our curiosities iu Philadel phia is a small consignment of gold from Madiigii .gar. It was mined and smelted and done up for shipment by natives, aud is the brightest gold we have. They took a piece of bamboo about six inches long and two inches in diameter, and polished the outside till it is us smooth as glass. Then they put a woo leu cork iu one end and poured ill the melted gull, Il It 1 corked up the other end, "One of the simplest nnd most use ful contrivniices we have is the count ing board. I'orm-rlv nil the coins I were count -d by hau l, mi l this took longer than to m ike them, for the coining machines work Very fast. One of the old employe' s invented the counting board which is now in use iu all the mints iu this country. It is a smooth lint iron board about six feet square, divided into longitudinal col umns with thin metal strips, each column 1 'ing just w ide enough to hold the coins to bo counted. The board is laid over a big bin containing the coins, and one tunu scoops up a shovel ful of coins and seat tors them over the board. Another man gives the hoard a shake, and st-e.s tint i very space iu every column is tilled. Then with a tip of tho board the counted coins are dumped into another bin. Fifty dol lars' worth of live-cent pieces can thus be counted inthiitv seconds." Wild ( ossat k Killers. In the Century, Messrs. Allen and Sachtleben, who went around the world on bicycles, give the following noeouut of one of their experience in Turkestan : One of the chief incidents of our pi iisaut sojourn was afforded by (io crnor 1 vain. IV. We were invited to head the prooesdon of the Cossacks on their iiiimi'il departure for their sum mer encampment on the mountains. After the maul religious ceremoiiv, they tiled out from the city parade ground. Doing unavoidably dtitnincd for n f"w moments, we did not come -up until some time after the column hd started. A we dashed by to the front with tho American and Husnian flags fluttering side by side from tho handle-bars, cheer after cheer arosa from tho ranks, mid even the (rover iior and his party dofled their cups iu acknowledgment. At the camp we were favored with a special exhibition of horsemanship. Uy a single twist of tin; reins the steeds Would fall to tlm ground, and their riders crouch down behind them ns a bulwark in battle. Then dashing forward at full iqi 1, they would spring to tins ground, mid b ap buck ngnin into tie; saddle, or, hanging by their lei's, would reach over and pick up a hand kerchief, cup, or it soldier supposed b; be wounded. All these movcim-lits wo photogt-iiph"d with our camera. Of the i-lidurauee of these Cossacks II II I th"ir Kirghiz hor-.es we had a practi cal test.

He stayed with us the whole day, over a distance of fifty-live miles. His chief compen sation was iu witnessing the surprise of tiie natives, to whom he would shout aelois the fields to cunio ulid s "(5 the toiiiashn, a iding in explanation that we were the Aineii-au gentlemen who had ridden nil tie- way from America. Our speed was not blow, and fretpieiitiy th" poor fellow would h ive to resort to the whip, or shout, "Slowly, gentlemen, my horse istin-d ; the town is not faraway; it is Hot necessary to hurry so."
