How Envelopes are Made.

This is the way, according to the ~. Y.
Tribune, that it is done in the Treasury
Department:
Here steel cutter, like an inverted tin
dish with sharp edges, is placed on pile of
paper under press. One turn at the lever
and it has cut out 500 envelopes. Next,
still open, they are spread 100 upon board,
each tapping over the others, SO that strip
of one-eighth of an inch along its upper edge
is left exposed Over this girl, with
brush, spreads the mucilage which the writer
is to moisten at last when ready to seal his
letter Then the board, with a score of
others, is placed on frame exposed to the
air. After the gum on the upper flaps
grows dry, the envelopes, while yet without
a fold, are laid in thick punches on magi-
cal, voracious, impatient little machine. 1t
seizes them with hungry teeth, instantane-
ously brushes mucilage upon each end and
the lower flap, folds the tour flaps in, tight
ly seals the three lower ones, leaving the
other unfastened for the reception of the
letter, and there is your envelope! This
cunning, wonderful attenuation, no larger
than a sewing machine, thus folds, seals,
and filings out 1000 per hour,

The History of Pews.

In Anglo. Saxon and some of the Norman
churches of early date, stone bench pre-.
ected within the walls, running around the
whole interior except the east.
In 1919 the people are represented as
sitting on the ground or standing. About
this time people introduced low, three-legged
stools promiscuously over the church.
Wooden seats were introduced soon after
the Norman conquest.
In 1887 decree was issued in regard to
the wrangling for seats, so common that
none should call any seat in the church his
own, except noblemen and patrons, each
entering and holding the one he first found.
AS We approach the Reformation, from
1880 to 1910, seats were more appropriated,
the entrance being guarded by cross, bars,
and the initial letters engraved no them.
Immediately after the Reformation the
pew system prevailed, and as We learn from
complaint the poor commoners made to
Henry Will, in 1916, in reference to his
decree that the Bible should be in every
church, at liberty for all to read, because
they feared it might be taken into the
squire" or "pure."
In 1908 galleries were introduced.
AS early as 1914 pews were arranged, to
afford comfort by being baized or cushion
ed, while the sides around were so high as
to hide those within; device of the Puri-
tans to avoid being seen by the officers who
reported those who did not stand when the
name of Jesus was mentioned. The services
were often greatly protracted, so that many
would fall asleep. With the reign of
Charles H., the reason for the frightening
of the sides of the pews disappeared.

Ministers Libraries.

One of the great difficulties in the way Of
most of our ministers is their inability to
obtain suitable books to assist them in their
studies. If the Apostle, with all the early
advantages which he enjoyed, and the spe-
cial Divine assistance afforded him, needed
books, surely we need not be surprised if
ministers at the present day feel their need
of similar aids. Many of our brethren.
however, have more difficulty in obtaining
suitable books, we presume, than Paul had
in getting his from Troas. Not that the
books are not to be had, but because breth.
rem have not the means at command to pro-
cure them. Many of our churches are very
attentive in supplying the personal wants of
their minister and his family, and would be
afflicted if they knew he was deficient in q
suitable wardrobe, or in supply for his ia
BILE, but they forget the deficiency in his Ii
brary, and make no suitable provision to
meet it. Every church should furnish its
minister with the means to procure food for
his mind as well as his body. If the church
neglects this it will be the loser in the end.
Every church should make a special dona-
ton to its minister every year, for the ex-
elusive purpose of enabling him to add to
his library such works as he needs, to keep
him fully posted on all the great living is.
sues of the day. Then he will be prepared
to meet the enemy in the gate, and to stand
as a defence for the gospel.-Methodist Re
corder.

Pure Air.

Read the following extract from paper
on the prevention of Disease" read by
DR.. George Derby before the Boston Social
Science Associations:
"Fresh air is the great natural dsinfcct
ant, antiseptic, and purifier, and not to be
compared for moment with any of artif-
cial contrivance. There is plenty of it in
the world, yet disguise the fact as we may,
there is no getting over the unwelcome truth
that to provide it in abundance in our eli
mate is expensive, since during seven months
of the year it must be artifcially warmed.
To take in air at the average winter temper
ature of % degrees, raise it to 68, and dis
charge it again from our houses even once
in an hour, is process which cannot be &C.
complished without paying roundly, yet on
no other condition can we reasonably expect
health and long life. The best way is to
freely admit that it is expensive, but worth
the money it costs. If Benjamin Franklin
thought that "a penny saved is penny
earned he was also equally sure that health
is wealth. Instead of asking ourselves with
how little fuel can warm my house by
stopping the Aues and the bene6cent win
dow-cracks which the carpenters have left,
the question should be, how much can | af.
ford to pay for fresh supplies of pure air
moderately and equally warmed and dis
tributed without waste. l cannot help be.
lieving that the sum of family health and
happiness in q generation would be more in
creased by liberal expenditures for this pur-
pose than for any other.

But This Was Tommys, and Hes Dead

As we passed along the street one day,
we saw little boy sitting upon the curb
&ane. He seemed to be about FIVE or six
years of age, and his well,combed hair, clean
hands and face, and tidy but well-patched
pinafore, showed that he was the child of a
loving but poor mother.
As we looked at him closely, we were
struck with the heart-broken expression Of
his countenance, and the tears rolling down
his cheeks. We stopped, and putting a
hand on his head, asked what was the mat
ter. He replied by holding up in his open
hand the fragments of broken tin toy-a
figure of COW.
go, is that all: Well, never mind it.
Step into the toy shop here and buy an
other" and we dropped four pence into
the little fellows hand. "That will buy
one, will it not?'
80 yes" said he, in a food of grief;
"but dlis sVas Tommy's and he's dead"

Those who have the time and the taste to de-
corate their yards and gardens will find valuable
addition to their collection in the recently intro.

that beauty of foliage constitutes their charm the
bloom of all the varieties being quite insignificant
The richness and variety of cooring in the leaves
however, amply compensates for the want of flow.

the season without once presenting the unpleasant
effect of fading flower.
There are many varieties and of such varied
hues as to permit their grouping in beds or borders
with great effect They have generally such out
landish names as would most break ones heat to
remember, but their beauty and value are unqnes
tionable, and we would advise all who can, to visit
the green houses of our city where they can be
seen now in perfection. -Southern Planter and

Lespidiza Strata Once More.

In January last the writer of this editorial stated
that the above plant had been killed dead by the
same frost that killed the crab amongst which a
part Of grew.
On this 23d day of February, though the winter
has been the mildest seen for many years, and the
red and white clover have put out many leaves
from old roots and many fresh Seeding plants,
and the spear grasses are showing many fresh
blades we see only very Je,o struggling plants on
the plot of Lespidiza, and those so small that we
cannot tell whether they be of that plant or Of
creeping yellow clover. Exit Lespidza Strata

A Whisper to the Teacher.
Go. speak 70 Jesus first.

10, speak 70 Jesus nrSt,
Then to the child. Go, let Him speak to thee
Who taught on earth in Judah's waning days
On mountain slopes, along the pebbly beach,
And on the joyous pillows of the sea.
Yes, in the closet hear His voice who spake
AS never man did speak Ask for His mind
Whose patience bore the burdens of a world.
Ask trustngly; the promise is to thee;
Thou shalt receive. Then meet the child as one
For whom the Saviour died. That ransomed soul
God kuows-it may be given thee to lift
The little Gedgtng to an angels seat.
o touch not heedlessly the chords that thrill
To gladuess or to woe. Lay gentle hands
On things that tell the tale in other worlds.
Go, speak to Jesus, wait his answering word;
Then tell the trusting child like one who comes
TRANSPORTED from the mount of prayer.
