A new style of embroidery which commends itself to those in search of substantial needlework is done with leather on leather. Chair cushions, hammock cushions, borders for heavy table covers and portierres are among tbe many articles for which it is used. Tbe ground work is as a rule of some dark, rich colored skin, and tbe work is done with lighter shades. A border for a handsome pair of por tierres is of maroon leather, on which is worked an upright row of finer delis in yellow leathers, with stems and leaves of green. The effect is very handsome and unusual. A chair cush ion which was made to correspond with a library furnished a quartered oak and Malachite, is of green leather, with tbe head of a huge tawoy lion worked in. The work is not difficult if one can believe those who have wade a study of it, and most of all requires practice. Tbe pattern is first sketched on thp leather foundation, then gone over with a keeu bladed instrument made for the purpose, and outlined by tiny slits and boles. It is into these incis ions that the working leather, which is cut into strips of various widths, is drawn, thus forming the design. This working leather can be bad in almost as many shades as embroidery silk and is remarkably pliable. The needle used are coarse bodkins with blunted points and long, narrow eyes? Many smaller articles intended as Christmas presents for men are being made, and tbe work seems particularly adapted to such use. . - ' A Clever Trick..

How the Work Is Being Dona at the Philadslnhia Mint _ The nimble fingers of twenty pairs of feminine hands were set to work yeslerdsy at tbe subtreasury counting ten millions of silver dollars, which bsve been stored in tbe custom bouse, vaults. The task is not an easy one by any means, and twenty five days, it is expected, will be consumed in its completion, Jerome Wise of the treasury depart ment at Washington has come up to superintend it all. He ie assisted by Miss Julia Booth of this city. The twenty women who are doiog the work are all expert handlers of coin and have been employed in the mint here. Tbe count is made to verify the accounts of ex-Assistant Treasurer Bigler. Id a room on the second floor, a long table, divided into twenty com partments, is placed behind a stout iron screen, high enough to keep out intruders sod possibly covetous flag on. At this table sit the twenty counters and into each compartment is dumped 1,000 shining new dollars, tbe contents of a stout canvas bag, in which they have been signed, sealed, and stored away. Quickly and deftly the operator takes up a handful of tbs coins, and almost before you can say "Jack Robinson" she baa stacked them up iu little piles of ten each in a box which holds exactly 100 such piles. Then a man comes along with an other canvas bag, the counterpart of the first one, and 100 little ten dollar piles are dumped into it. It ie then tied, sealed and the name of tbe coun ter, written by herself on a tag. is at tached to it. Theo it is carted away to give place to a successor, and to go again to'the subterranean vaults from which it came. Tbe process pursued ie a little differ ent from that followed in other yearn for then tbe money was merely weigh ed in the bags, and if one of them showed "weakness’’ it was opened and the contents counted. This time in dubitable proofs are to be had by tbe handling of every piece of coin. The bank notes, which are always disposed of by actual count, have al ready been verified, and has nearly all tbe fractional coins, halves, quarters, dimes, nickles and pennies, to tbe amount of $5,000,000 or more, and gold to the amount of over a million, •—Philadelphia Preu.

Yet there are, it ap pears by the last published report of the latMetate Commerce Commission, 830.000 railroad employees in the United States, whose gross wages and salaries are nearly $500,000,000 a year, or 62 par cent, of tbe operating ex penses of tbe American railways.
