“They take tremendous precautions at the mint so that no specie shall be lost,” said an Englishman, with a reminiscence of an article he had been reading on the subject. “Every scrap of refuse is burned In order that not the slightest vestige of metal shall be wasted. The working clothes of the men are burned, too, when they are worn out, and they even burn the carts which are used in carrying the bullion to the mint “Well,” said the American in the corner, contemplating his cigar, “I guess we go one better than that in our immortal country. We burn the refuse aitd the clothes and the carts. Yes, sir, we do all that and, what Is more, when a man dies who has worked there we have him cremated.” Then they talked about the weather.—London Fun.
