MAKING POSTAGE STAMPS.

In printing, steel plates are used, Oh
which two hundred stamps are engraved.
Two men are kept hard at work covering
them with the colored inks and passing
them to a man and girl, who are equally
busy at printing thom with large rolling
hand presses Three Of these little squads
are employed all the time, although ten
presses can be put into use in case OF ne.
cessity. After the small sheets Of paper
upon which the two hundred stamps are
engraved have dried enough they are
sent into another room and gummed.
The gum used for this purpose Is pecn-
liar composition, made of the powder OF
dried potatoes aud other vegetables mix
cd with water, which is better than any
other material, for instance, gum arabic,
which cracks the paper badly. This pa
per is also of a peculiar texture, some
what similar to that used for bank notes.
After having been again dried, this time
on little racks, which are famed by steam
power for about an hour, they are put in
between sheets Of pasteboard and pressed
in hydraulic presses, capable Of applying
a weight of two thousand tons. The
next thing is to cut the sheets in half;
each sheet Of course, when cut contains
a hundred stamps, fhis is done by a
girl with a large pair Of shears, cutting
by hand being preferred to that of ma
chinery, which method would destroy too
many stamps. They are then passed 10
two other squads, who, in as many oper.
atious. periorale the sheets between the
stamps. Next they are pressed once
more, and then packed and labeled, aud
slowed away in another room, preparato.
ry to being put in mail bags for dispatch.

HUNTERS uoors.

A company OF hunters caught a num-
Der Of monkeys in the forests Of Brazil 10
the following amusing way:
They had q lot 81 litEle boots made, just
large enough 10 be drawn easily over a
monkeys foot, aud iiIicl the bottom with
pitch. With these they set out for the
woods, aud soon found themselves under
the trees where the lively little fellows
we're leapiug about among the branches,
hanging by their tails, swinging them
selves easily from one tree 10 another,
aud chattering noisiiy together, As II
making observations upon the strange
visitors that had come into their quarters.
The hunters were too wise to attempt 60
catch them by climbing the trees; they
might az we'll have expected to snatch
nyiug bird as to lay hands upon one Of
these uimblc little fellows. They had an
easier way than this, aud one much more
efeclual. They simply sat down under
the trees, where the little chstterboxes
were rattling on over their heads, but
never for moment removing their eyes
from them Then they placed the little
boots where they could be seen, and
commenced taking of their own boots.
Having done this, they let them stand
awhile near the little boots. All this the
monkeys very carefully noticed, The
hunters, now taking mp their own boots,
having carefully looked over them, drew
them slowly, one after the other, upon
their feet. Not motion escaped the OBJ
seryation of the monkeys. Having re-
placed their boots, they hurried away TO
the thicket Of underground not far off,
where they were hidden from the sight
of the monkeys, but where they could
see everything that happened under the
trees. They left the small boots all
standing in row, They were no sooner
cut of sight than down from the branches
dropped the monkeys. They looked at
the boots, took them up, smet them, and
finally, seating themselves as the hunters
had done, drew them on over their feet g.
As soon as they were fairly in their boots
out sprang the hunters from their hiding
place aud rushed among them. The
monkeys, aflrighteG, at once started for
the trees, but only to 6nd that they had
destroyed their power of climbing by
putting on the boots. So they fell an
easy prey to their cunning enemies.
