MA CHINERY For MAKING ENVEL
DDE'S


At the recent international Exhibition
in London series of machinery were
exhibited manufacturing envelopes from
the roll of papers to the finished article,
gummed and counted into packets, per-
feet in all respects for immediate use.
In this series the web, as the roll of
paper is called, is drawn along by suit
able rollers and cut into sheets, one of the
chief features of the machine being the
method of varying the rate of advance Of
the web, that is, the size of the sheets.
On the roll shaft and that of the knife
are deeply hanged pulleys, the rings OF
which are in segments; the radial
arms carrying these segments are ope-
rated ON by wedges attached to collar
which can be slid along the shaft, so
that, when the wedges are brought into
play, and to just the extent to which
they are advanced or withdrawn, the
pulley is increased or decreased in
diameter. The proportions of these
pulleys, in respect to circumference, are
preserved by an ingenious piece of
mechanism, so that the driving belt in
connection with them is always at the
same tension.
When the sheets are cut to size they
are passed through milling rolls, where
they are glazed, are then piled to about
an inch in thickness under shaping
press, consisting of a series of punches,
which cut the heaps into the shape OF
an open envelope. The operations OF
cumming and folding, most ingeniously
effected, are then in order. The lip OF
the envelope is sometimes embossed by
the cutters at the same operation as the
cutting, but special embossing is per-
formed by separate machine, as are
also black bordering and the folding.

, VERY HANDSOME

The ,Sviss Times tells that some time
ago two youths of Berne addressed a
letter to President Grant, asking him to
aid them in gathering collection OF
American postage stamps. A few days
ago the said youths unexpectedly re-
ceived through the American Envoy at
Berne fine assortment of United States
stamps, accompanied by letter in
which the President said that his many
duties had prevented him undertaking
the collection himself, and that therefore
his youngest son had taken the matter
in hand. l. s

TING THE BALANCE

"You are going into college life, boys,
and you must take care of your bodies.
Many boy breaks down because he
keeps his country appetite and loses his
country exercise. You must balance
study and brain-work by exercise and
muscular work, or you'll be down with
dyspepsia, and won't know what ails
you. People have wondered where the
seat of original sin is; I think it's i'll the
stomach. A man eats too much and
neglects exercise, and, the devil has. him
his own way, and the little imps, with
their long black fingers, play ON his
nerves like piano. Never overwork
either body.or mind, boys. Allthe work
that man can do that can be rested by
one nights sleep is good for him, but
fatigue that goes into the next day is al
ways bad. Mrs, Stowe's Old To,o'
Folks. ~ " ID - ''-' "

THE NEW FEVER" AND THE
CHOLERA IN INDIA.

Death appears to have had rich
harvest last year in British India. A
sort of fever, upon which medicine has
no effect, and which was never heard of
before, called the "new fever COM
mitted great ravages among the popu-
lation. Within a few weeks over one
hundred people are reported to have
died in single small village. But fatal
as this strange disease is, it lost all
terror in comparison with the cholera,
which has ragged with fatal violence in a
number of districts. The mortality is
still continuing, and many natives begin
to fear return of those dark days when
whole cities were almost entirely de-
populated by the plague. The Govern
ment does all it. can, but that is not
much,

ELECTRIC UTERY IN SURGERY

ELECTRIC CAUTERY IN SURGERY.
Surely the world is moving. One OF
the last and perhaps greatest improve
ments in surgery is a new method OF cut
ting away formidable tumors in some OF
the cavities, by electricity. Where 1t Is
almost impossible to secure bleeding
vessels on account of reaching them, for
example, in detaching fungus growth
far off in the nasal cavities, throat,
etc, wire is passed round the base,
the battery set in motion, and, presto,
the tumor is separated without loss OF
blood, the vessels being SCARED, asitwere,
with hot iron. Better still, under the
lulling effects of chloroform or either,
the patient experiences neither pain nor
loss of strength from hemorrhage. g..

TIIE.-CRO WDE'D STREET.

.4 '-f'S s- tlt ~ - l % .-' .--.'
Let me move slowly through the street, sf
Filled with an ever-shifting train, .
Amid the soundof steps that beat
The murmuring walks like autumn rain.
How fast the fitting figures GOMEZ
The mild the fierce, the stony face
Some bright with thoughtless smiles, and sop,e
Where secret tears have left their trace.
They pass to toll, to strife, to rest ..+
To halls in which the feast is spread
Tochambers where the funeral guest
In silence sits beside the dead
And some to happy homes repair,
Where children pressing cheek to cheek,
With mute caress shall declare ,. ..
The tenderness they cannot speak.
And some, who walk in calmness here
Shall shudder as they reach the door
Where one who made the dwelling dear,
Its flower, its light, is seen no more.
Youth, with pale cheek and slender frame,
And dreams of greatness in thine eye!
Cost thou to build the early name,
Or early in the task to die?
Keen son of trade, with eager brow.
Who is now futtering in the snare?
Thy golden fortunes, tower they now,
Or melt the glittering spires in the air
Who of this crowd tonight shall tread II
The dance till daylight gleam again7 .,.s- -u
Who sorrow DER the untimey dead? ...
Who writhe in throes of mortal pain?
..4
Some, fanine-struck, shall think how long I
The cold, dark hours, how slow the light !;
And some, who faunt amid the throng,
Shall hide in dens of shame tonight. o.
Each where his task or pleasures call, .
They pass, and heed each other not.
There is who heeds, who holds them all
tn large love and boundess thought. q" 81
These struggling tides of life that seem
In wayward, .aimless course to tend,
Are eddies of the mighty stream
That rolls to its appointed end.
