The Poverty that Hides.

The poor are always with us, and vet
we know them not. The poverty that
parades Its needs and is perpetually ask
ing for "relief' is not the real indicence
that true humanity should be most
solicitous to help. It is the poverty that
hides which the genuine philanthropist
should search ont and succour. In this
great city there are thousands who know
the bitterness of unsatisfied hunger. who
endured the misery of that most blight
ing OF all cold, the chill OF starvation
who suffer torments of mind worry and
wretchedness; and who are, in short
dying of destitution while they keep up
an external appearance of respectability
and even of content Medical men who
are permitted TO see life stripped of its
tinsel. especially those who have to deal
with the mental phase of human natura
at close quarters and in its weakest mo-
ments, when pretense is no longer DOS.

home to them. The outside
public has no conception of the extent
and depth of the impecuniosity that pre-
walls, and the bitter aching void that is
unsatisfied. We pity the so-called

Postage Stamps.

Some things are 80 common that few
apprehend the ingenuity and labor re-
quired to make them. Postage stamps.
for instance, are in eyerybody's mouth.
except the wise ones, who use a wet
sponge, but scarcely any one knows how
they are manufactured. In printing
them steel plates are used, on which two
hundred stamps are engraved. Two men
are kept hard at work covering them
with the colored inks and passing them
to man and girl. who are edualIy busv
at printing them with large rolling hand
presses. 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 the purpose is pecu-
liar composition, made of the powder of
dried vegetables mixed with water. which
is better than any other material. for in
stance gum arabic, which cracks the
paper badly. The paper is also of a
perfect texture, somewhat similar
to that used for bank notes. At
ter having been again dried. this
time on little racks, which are
famed by steam power for about an
hour, they are put between sheets of
PoSeCOodiO anu pTSSSed Dy 0yQfautlc
presses. capable Of applying weight of
two thousand pounds. The next thing
is to cut the sheets in half; each sheet Of
course when cut contains a hundred
stamps. This done by girl with q large
pair of shears, cutting by hand being
preferred to that of machinery. which
method would destroy too many stamps.
They are then passed to other squads,
who, IN as many operations, perforate
the sheets between the stamps. Next
they are pressed once more, and then
packed and labled and slowed away in
another room, preparatory to being put
in mail bags for dispatching to fill orders.
If single stamp is torn, or in any way
the whole sheet of one hund-
red is burned. About five hundred
thousand are burned every week from
this cause. For the past twenty years
not single sheet has been lost, such
,are has been taken in counting them.
During the progress OF manufacture the
sheets are counted eleven times.

Peaches and other New Fruit.

In California, these days, there is
stir among fruit men, as to what to plant.
All agree that it is possible to overdo the
market unless great care be taken to plant
only the best. There is growing convic-
ton that good peaches will be profitable
tor long time to come, and many are
looking into the subject. A ciingstone
peach is wanted which does not curl. is a
large bearer and good grower, and cans
or dries well. The pit must be compar-
atively small. The peach should not be
red at the center, for that is not so good
for canning use. The larger and finer
and higher-havored it is, the better for
the grower. There is Seeding, origi-
mating IN Sacramento county, which is
certainly the handsomest and largest
cling we have yet observed. So highly
Is 1T priced that the entire stock of buds
from the original tree have been
put into other trees and mono are yet for
sale. There are choice seedlings now in
the hands of private parties, of which
nothing will be heard for several years to
come, but which are apt to make q SEN
sation IN the market some dsv. In fact,
there is often more money in planting al
orchard OF some improved fruit than in
selling the trees. 4 man who has good
seeding fruit of any sort should show
bis faith in it by planting largely, and
holding his peace on the subject till the
market returns begin to justify the ven
tnre. This is true of peaches, and of
other fruits, also. There are enough
varieties OF fruits now for amateur uses
and exhibitions. Each new fruit must
now be an advance; it must drive out
some older sort; it must be more profita-
Ole to the grower than the kind whose
place it takes has been. Then it will
easily win success.
