General Grant.

A strictly fresh reminiscenco of
General Grant: When a boy in Ohio,
he drove milk-wagon. Among his
customers was @ colored family. AS
he drove up one day to the domicile'
of his colored patron he bethought
him to have little fun at the ex.
pense Of a pickanirny that was ma
king mud.pies in the door yard, and
so addressed it: "You, Ephrahuni,
take dat chalk out obyo' eye!" Eph-
raham's mother happened to be just
around the corner of the house hoe
ing watermelons, and fastening ar
ound in front she almost yelled in
her indignation: "sco heah, honey,
you hab all you kin tend to CT yo'
take dat chalk out ob yo' milk"

How Postage Stamps Are Made.

In printing, steel plates are used,
on which two hundred stamps arc
engraved. Two men are kept hard
at work covering them with the col.
ored inks and passing them to a man
and girl, who are equally busy at
printing them with large rolling
hand presses. Three of these little
squads arc employed all the time,
although ten presses can. be put in
to use in case of necessity. After
the small sheets of paper upon which
the two hundred stamps are engrav-
ed have dried enough, they are sent
intoanothcr room and gummed. The
gum used for this purpose is a pecu.
liar composition, made Of the pow.
der Of dried potatoes, and other veg.
etables mixed with water; whichis
better than ahyother material, for
instance, gun, arabic, which cracks
the paper badly. This paper is al
so Of a peculiar texture, somewhat
similar to that used for bank notes.
After having been again dried, this
time on little racks, which are fam
ed by ysteam power, for about an hour,
they are put in between sheets Of
pasteboard and pressed in hydraulic
presses capable Of applying weight
of two thousand tons. The next
thing is to cut the sheets in half;
each sheet, when cut, of course con-
taihs one hundred stamps. This is
done by a girl with large pair of
shcers, cutting by hand being prefer
red to that Of machinery, which
method would destroy too many
stamps. They are then passed to
other squads, who, in as many oper-.
atiohs, perforated the paper between
the stamps. Next they are pressed
once more, and then packed and Ia.
beled, and slowed away in another
room, preparatory to being put in
mail bags for despatching to fulfil
orders. If single stamp is torn or
in any way mutilated, the whole
sheet of onehundred stamps is burn
cd. Five hundred thousand are
burned every week from this cause.
For the past twenty years not a sin.
gle sheet has been lost, such care has
been taken in counting them. Dur.
ing the process of manufacturing,
the sheets are counted eleven times.

Tie Ugly King.

One day pleasant women took a
basket of eggs to the house where
the royal party was lodged. AT the
door she met an individual who greet
ed her politely, and on finding out
her errand carried the basket to tho
kitchen; which done, he returned
with handful of small coins. En-.
boldencd by so much condescension,
the good women mustered up courage
to mention her great desire to set
eyes on the king, Victor Emmanuel.
"Why, that's mel" said the person
with whom she was speaking. She
looked at him scrutinizingfy; then,
after some seconds Of mute contem.
pfation, she exclaimed;
"oh never! You wont get inc to
believe that. Suchasweet aud beau.
tiful Women as the queen would new

The king (for it was he) dismissed
her with an extra piece of money
and proceeded in all haste to ask
some peasants what was the mean
ing of 81 Oeart. $50 uglyr' was the
reply. Victor Emmanuel related
this small incident with the greatest
gusto. = Temple Bar

Charles Dickens and His Wife.

~
NowSthat the widow of Charles
pickriAsis. dead, .thesold and ynfort,i-
nate scandal as to the cause of her
separation from her husband has
been revived in many of the news
papers. The matrimonial discords
of man and wife, particularly when
either has been in any manner
prominent, seems to be Of perennial
interest to ordinary people, and gos-
sips are never willing to let the
matter rest. There is very little
doubt of the novelist's. public state
ment made years before his death,
that as neither he nor his wife could
live happily together, melancholy
truth which had been forced upon
them after many years of trial and
experience, they deemed it best to go
apart, and that both they and their
friends fully concurred in the wis
dom of.the step. 1t was plain case
not only of incompatibility, but Of
irreconcilability, Of temperament,
which many persons consider the
best cause, and others again consider
wholly insufficient cause, for divorce.
Incompatibility Of temperament is
too vague, too general, to satisfy vul-
gar curiosity. The average man and
woman are prone to suspect that it
is designed to hide some delightful
scandal, which they are burning to
learn and to have detailed at length.
They will not accept it, but thought.
full people can understand at once
that includes everything; that it
renders any further explanation su-
perhuous. Inasmuch as domestic
discords concern merely the parties
and their friends Immediately in
volved, it might be thought that the
general public would not be interest.
ed in them. Butt is interested, all
the more, because It is not in any
sense, its affair. Most Of us are par
ticularly anxious 10 know what we
are perfectly aware we have no busi-
ness to know.-Nep York Times.

The Science 81 Saving,


A writer In Cassell's Magazine ad.
dresses words Of wisdom 10 those
whose pockets are made Of such ma.
terial that money burns a hole in
them. He advises them to keep an
exact account of every cent they
spend, as putting down in black and
white, checks extravaganza.
They must be put down in detail,
and not conveniently classed together
under the head Of "sundries.' The
item @sundries" is never admitted
into well.kept household accounts.
1t is very difficult to realize fully
the value Of small sums. II the pen.
nies and half pennies that lie loose
in the pockets were properly appre-
ciated, there would not be SO much
pecuniary embarrassment in the
world as there is.
"AIany a mickle makes a muckle.''
This is true of nothing more than
pennies and half pennies.
These little savings, as rule, must
be made in personal expenditure
more than in anything else. What
sspeht over the household is gsner-
ally needed, but the small personal
luxuries which cost so little are not.
And when any saving is made in
this way the money should be put
aside as saved, instead Of being mix:
ed with the spending fund; and ad.
ditions made to it frequently as pos
sible.
That will make you understand as
soon as anything what small econo-
mics amount to. When money is
put aside to be. saved, it should be
put in some place whore it can not
be directly got az.
| cannot speak too highly of the
sayings:bank for this purpose.
The very fact that little trouble
and formula has to be gone through
before It can be obtained, prevents it
being spent many q time when it
most certainly would be if it were
close at hand.
There are two Or three ways in
which money can be saved.
The first is buying large quanti-
ties. Of course the danger is when
there is a stock Of things to "run at,"
as the servants say, they will be ex-
travagant Used. All that l can say
on this point is, that they must not
be "run at"
A proper quantity must be por.
toned out and the rest put sway.
Then it will be found that articles
may be bought both cheaper and bet
ter in large quantities than in small
ones.
Another way to save Expenses is
to pay for everything as you get it.
If you 90 this, you avoid overcharge,
and will buy far less.
If the money had to be paid at
the moment, many an unnecessary
purchase would be avoided.
People who have limited incomes
are those who can least aford to live
on credit; and unfortunately they do
it more than any others.

cause of.the drunkenness. 1t is esti-

liquors per year. Three prosperous

1t would pay each efo our FIVE preach

last amount. s
/ He also pitches into the grand ju-
ry for not finding indictments ag-
ainst men whom he says are selling
liquor without license. If he
knew Of such violations, why didn't
he go before the grand jury and
make it known. Let us see how his
temperance ideas work. You de-
prive those men of the privilege Of
going to a licensed saloon and get
ting what they want TO drink, and
hence they form into Clubs and rent
a Club House Of their own, where
ehey keep peer, Whlskeys, DC, and
SO furnish their members such drinks
as they like, which they have the
right to do under the laws Of this
State, and they are not liable to in
dictment either. This is the reason
why no indictments were found. If
there is more drunkenness this year
than there waslast year, when we
had license, it is the fault Of such
men as Sincerity" in Withholding
license, and getting all the odium of
