INVISIBLE INK FOR PosTAI. CARDS.
The DeutSche Illustrate Geacerbezei-
ting proposes the use of what may be
called postal card ink" for messages
which are sent on such cards or 9th
erwise unseale1. A solution of nitrate
or chloride of cobalt, or chloride of
copper, mixed with little gum or
sugar, produces a magic INK which
is made visible hv warming, either bv
holding againss the stove or over a
burning match. Potassium ferrocv-
anide in solution may also he used :
but this requires a developer, for which
either copper or iron su;phate may he
employed. With the former the
writing will appear in brown, and with
the latter in blue color.

CLOTHES PINs-Insignfica as the

CLOTHES S-Insignificant rs the
common wooden clothes pin is itsclf
its manufacture forms no mean part in
American industries, and the numo rou5
factories in New England and other
States furnish employment 10 thous-
ands of people. There are several
large clothes pin manufactures IN
PENNSYLVANIA and Ohio. and one in the
vicinity of Saratoga, \. y, each Of
which is capable of turning out a
thousand BOXES, or 10000 pins per
week There are several small facto-
ries scattered throughout Massachu-
setts, New Hampshire and Vermont,
and all are run 10y water power. As
rule, those engaged in the manufacture
of clothes pins are Quakers Beech,
white birch and poplar are the woods
used in making the article, the birch
and poplar being considered the best.
The machinery employed is very sim
pie. The wood is first sawed into logs
of four feet in length and then cut into
small square sticks by means Of cut
ting machine. Each stick, after being
rounded in a lathe, is passed into
another machine which throws out a
number of perfectly formed pins at one
cut and with great rapidity. The pins
are then thrown into large revolving
cylinder and smoothed by friction with
each other New York and Boston

quantities to the West, and Australia

business the past two years, prices

A New AND EXCELLENT ARTICLE OF
FoUD UD-Crushed wheat has long been
Il favorite article of food with the gen
cral public and higly recommended bv
the medical faculty as diet for in
valids and children, because of its easy
digestion and highly nutritive quail
ties
A new process of preparing this ar
ticle has been perfected, by means of
which it is made even more nutritive
and its keeping qualities enchanced.
The best white wheat being selected
for the purpose is hulled, and all the
impurities removed. 1t is then, while
the kernal is whole, scientifically cooked
by peculiar application of moist
steam, which converts the indigestible
starch into sugar, after which it is
next crushed between iron rollers. Bv
this peculiar methed of preparing the
grain, the 'totality of all that is valua-
bic is retained, and as it undergoes
the steaming process while the grain
is whole or unbroken, it is all ecenI1
cooked and made alike palatable and
easy of digestion and assimilation.

the Lords will. and bade q lasting adiew to
the friends who were present. in prospect

Missing Pastor.

What one of of us can express our love-
For our pastor who has gone before,
Who taught Us by his daily walk
To live for the other shore.
We miss him in the Parsonage here;
We miss him in our prayer,
We miss him in the church Of God,
But he's not missing there.
His teachings here doth yet remain,
Speaking of things so grand;
That earthly matter cannot contain,
But passeth to the other land
His spirit as ministering angel,
Hovers round us on our way,
Bidding US come up higher,
Until We reach the perfect day.
Oh, all the good that we behold,
His name for to revere,
Is lost in brightness of the fold,
only by blood secure.
Patient waiting we remain,
To hear the story told;
Oh; language fails to explain,
The mystery of love.
While wandering down this vale of tears
And SORROW here below,
His counselling doth quell our fears,
And happiness bestow.
