If you are expecting to make trip to
the Pacific Coast, or to any point IN the
West or Northwest, you should recollect
that your best, and in fact, the only good
route to those points is VIA KANSAS
CITY, and the Kansas City, Ft Scott q
Gulf Railroad, as through trains for the
West are made up at, and start from
Kansas City: BY coming here, passen'
gers are enabled to secure comforta BILE ao-
Communications through, which they cannot
do if trains are taken at junction points,
az trains for the West are crowded.
This route is particularly desirable for
passengers holding Emigrant tickets to
points in the far West. Attached to Emf
grant trains, leaving Kansas City every
night, are CoAFoRTABLE SLEEPING CARS
provided especially for passengers holding
such tickets. These cars a1e new, clean,
and well ventilated, and were built ex'
pressly for this service. No CHARGE Is
MLpE FOR BERTHs IN THESE CARS WHEN RE-
SERVED AT KANSAS Cry, but passengers
are required to provide their own blank

the exclusive use of one OF these oaIE
without ezt,o charge, provided timely
notice is given. III,

Can't some way be devised BY viii Oh
we can get our daily mail the day it ar
rives at Batesville, instead of the day at,
ter? Since the changes were made on
the Walnut Ridge route, bringing our
mails, both east and west, via Batesville,
the way its managed simply amounts
to nothing more nor less than tri-weekly.
What's the use of having daily mail to
BateSville, or anywhere else, and run 1T
on such a schedule as it is now run,
when, too, the distance is about half of
that to Walnut Ridge, from which place
we used to get our mail the same day the
trains arrived. We would suggest that
the road overseers 90 to work and warn
their hands, while the weather is good, to
work the road, and work it, too, not to
''give it q lick and a promise" make a
few goose nests with pine tops in some of
the worst mud holes, and allow the hands
to lead their horse with one hand while
with Che other they are throwing the
beautiful pebbles out Of the road at
cricketS and grasShOppers, as, be it said
with shame, has been done heretofore.
Make all hands leave their horses at home
and come prepard to woRE give them
to understand that though they are as
good as you, you outrauk them, and they
must obey you. Then 60 to work and
not stop till you fix the road up in
workman.like manner, so that it will
not look like a lot Of crazy 10 year old boys
had been over it playing leap frog and
making goose nests, Recollect then, that
80 stitch in time saves nine" and not walt
till the road becomes impossible before
you warn your hands and work 1t again.
In ohort friendly overseers, drive this
work, and rot let it drive you. Then
the gentlomanly mail contractor, Mr..
tiaovasr, uo ,a,oubt 9gosllaa gin:nls;lly sra
oheerfully wait till the train arrived at
Batesville and give Us oar mail the 6ame
day and We, and the travelling public
generally, could feel proud in saying that
"the Evening Shade, and Batesville road
was the only one whion was worked, or
ever has been worked, in the state"

Envelopes.

One of the most interesting mechanical
novelties to be seen at the International
Exhibition in London was the envelope
machine of Fenner & Co., of that city.
All the manual labor that is required in at
tending to the machine is limited to the
supply from time to time of pile of en-
velope blanks, and the occasional removal
and banding of the finished envelopes
Thus the entire and various processes of
feeding, cumming, stamping, folding, de-
livery and collection are performed auto
matically by series of mechanical opera
tions devised with the utmost ingenuity
and carried out in perfection; the machine
withal being excessively compact and well
arranged.
The pile of envelope blanks being placed
in position on plate at one end of the ma
chine, which may be done either at rest or
in motion, the feeding process is effected
by the simple aid of intermittent suction.
An elastic tube has a trumpet-shaped brass
mouthpiece which descends on the upper
most blank, and at that moment of contact
the air is exhausted by a stroke Of the air
pump, when the mouthpiece rises with the
blank attached; the suction being maintain
ed just sufficiently long to enable the arm
and grippers, rapidly projected from the
other side of the machine, to size the blank,
when the attachment to the mouthpiece
ceases and the arm shoots back, drawing
the blank into position over the folding box,
and there rapidly releasing it. At this
moment the stamping is effected by the ac
/ ton of hammer and die, and the gum is
applied in due place ON the edges of the
side flaps, whereupon plunger-head, of
rectangular form and size of the envelope,
descends, carrying the blank down into the
folding box; the flaps, thus raised into
vertical position, are then inclosed and fold
ed down in proper sequence by slides work
ing in the thickness of the folding box; and
finally the bottom of the box rises and
completes the operation by pressing the
whole against the slides, so that the edges
are made sharp and the adhesion is effected
and secured. The slides are then with
drawn, and the bottom of the folding box
drops, allowing the envelope to drop in Il
vertical position into the delivery-trough
underneath, running across the machine,
wherein, by simple contrivance and COM
binatiop of guides, holders, and pressers,
the envelopes as they drop from the fold
g-box are successfully, uniformly, and reg
ularly arranged, and worked along the
trough ready for removal and banding by
the attendant.
These manifold operations are success
lively wrought with such speed that the
finished envelopes are turned out complete
at the rate of so per minute, or 5000 per
hour

How Vaccine Virus is Obtained.

A brief explanation of the methods by
which vaccine virus is obtained subject
concerning which many people have uot
the least conception-is furnished to cor
respondent of the Towsontown journal by
DR.. w. T. Joues, Superintendent of the
virus-producing establishment at Cham
bersburg, Pa. 1t is generally supposed
that it comes naturally on the udders of
cows OF course it was originally found
there as a spontaneous production, and, no
doubt, it is still so found; but the cases are
extremely rare, and the virus so found is
never used in vaccination. The article for
that purpose is obtained by vaccinating
young heifers-the matronly COW not be-
ing deemed suitable for the purpose; nor a
heifer either, unless she be in excellent
health. The gentleman COW is of no man
ner of use in the premises. AS explained
to me by Dr. w. T. Jones, the well-known
and scientific expert in production of the
virus, the heifer is thrown on her back and
firmly secured in strong rack, or cradle,
and the operation is performed on her from
fifteen to twenty places, an inch or two
apart. on the inner side of her fanks. The
process is exactly similar to that followed
in vaccinating us people, and occupies
about two hours for each heifer After
release from the cradle the heifer proceeds
about her ordinary business for several
DAYS, when she gets sick and feverish, with
great thirst, and feeling unwel generally
until the ''crust" forms which is then
carefully removed and thrown away, the
raw sore beneath carefully washed of blood
and impurities, and the pure lymph then
flowing therefrom is carefully collected on
quills and points and packed in air-tight
jars for transportation. DIR. Jones says
that these quilts do not retain their power
of prevention more than 80 days, no matter
how carefully the air may be excluded from
them: and he has no doubt that all the
cases of disease charged to vaccination arise
from the use of virus that was more than
80 days old, and that had, in some un-
known way, acquired poisonous properties.
There are but two establishments in this
country where the business of procuring
virus is carried on: one at Chambersburg,
Pa, of which DR. Jones is Superintendent,
and one at Chelsea, Mass. These supply
all the virus used in this country and in
Canada, as well as in the West Indies and
several sections of Europe.

A Mistaken Idea.

AS soon as boy leaves school and looks
about to see what he shall do next, he is
very likely to be told by some unwise per-
son, ''The world owes you living" This
probably strikes him as being very wise
remark, and the boy says to himself: eff
it is true that the world owes me living.
then I'm all right" He finds place, and
goes to work manfully; but after a time he
concludes that there is no fun in it, and he
stops to consider: "If the world owes me
living, why should [ trouble myself? Let
the world pay its debt to me" Suddenly
he loses his place and has nothing to do.
He is surprised, and wonders why the
world does not give him his due. "a nice
bed, warm clothes and regular dinners are
good things, and ought to have them.
The world owes them to me, and if [ do
not get them [ have been cheated out of
my rights.
At one time this country was wilder
ness, where no man could live save by fight
ing the wild beasts. Some one chased away
the bears and wolves, cut down the forest,
laid out roads, built towns and dug canals.
Somebody spent vast sums of money in
constructing railroads, steamboats,, docks,
lighthouses, schools, libraries and all the
fine things you enjoy so freely More than
this; somebody pays the policeman, the
fireman. the soldier, sailor, the lighthouse
keeper and schoolmaster.
From the day you were born your father
and mother have fed, clothed and sheltered
you. 1t has cost you nothing. How can
you say the world owes you living? Is
it not you who are in debt? What has q
boy done to deserve all this? Not a thing,
1t is you who must pay, not the world,
All boys, he was foolish creature who
first said "The world owes me a living"
He told very silly fable, The world owes
no man living till he has done some wor-
thy deed, some good work to make the
world better and fairer place to live in.
Those old fellows who dug canals and laid
out towns, who built cities and invented
all these things,-these telegraphs, these
ships, these magnificent engines, the
right idea, They worked manfully, and
the world at last did owe them living,
and paid it many times over. If you mean
to get out of the great debt you owe the
world, do something, go to work and show
you are man. Then, when you have
shown the world you can work, it will
gladly pay you living, and the finer and
more noble your work the greater will be
your reward.
