SHAKE OFF THE DUsr FROM THY FEEr."- A letter writer says, during recent visit at the United States Mint,I observed in the gold room that sack was placed over the floor for us to tread upon and on inquiring its purpose, I was answered, that it was to prevent the visitor from carrying away with the dust of his feet the minute particles of the precious metal, which, despite of the ut- most care, would fall upon the floor when :he rougher edges ofthe bar were filed and that the sweepings of the build ings saved thousands of dollars in year. How much more precious the minute fragments of time i; and yet how often they are trodden upon like dust by thoughtlessness and folly.
