No other complaints are so insidious in their
attack as those affecting the throat and lungs:
none so tritied with by the majority Of suffer-
ers. The ordinary cough Or cold, resulting
perhaps from trifing or unconscious ex-

sickness. AYERS CHERRY PICTORIAL, has
well proven its efficacy in forty years fight
with throat and lung diseases, and should be
taken ill all cases without delay.

A Remarkable Case Of Inposture
From the st. James Gazette.

A remarkable case Of imposture is re-
ported from Canterbury. About twenty
years ago Frances Wood, otherwise
Fanny Jordan, of Claphan-hill, Whit
stable, age fifteen, received d severe
shock. She took to her bed, and grad.
ually grew worse Jig appearance until
her face was completely blackened with
the exception OF a white mark down the
center of the nose. She lost the use Of
her whole body except one arm, and
could take only brandy and water and
light dainties. Her case called forth
much commiseration, eGciting substan-
tial aid from every part Of England.
Besides the local practitioners she bat
fled the skill of three medical men, OF
standing from other districts, and has
received relief from both the parochia1
authorities and the Whitestable Charity
Trustees. A few years ago she was the
subject of a long article in religious
journal, in which her suferings and
resignation were recorded. IL !
Hearing on Saturday week that her
brother had been sentenced to three
months imprisonment, she recovered
her natural hue, and when discovered
by her mother said, II felt as if some
thing gave me three raps on the head,
and thrill passed through me-" She
died on Wednesday: but prior to that
sent for person who had often visited
her and confessed that during all these
years she had acted the hypocrite, and
had been perfectly able to use her
limbs all the time. She had systemat-
ieally diseolored her features with burnt
cork, which she kept in 3 box with 9
candle beneath her bed. On hearing
the announcement of her brothers lra.
prisonment she took an opportunity to
wipe away the black marks from her
face. The mother states that she was

Roman Remains at Mayence.


Some very interesting Roman sepul
chral discoveries have been made lately
at Mayence in the carrying'out of some
considerable excavations and earthworks
required for carrying the Ludwigsbahn
railroad around the city. Close to the
Neuthor the workmen came upon a
place of considerable extent, evidently
assigned to the sepulchre Of civilians.
A large number Of large and small stone
collins were found at irregular distances
from each other, the intervening spaces
having been occupied by wooden cotfins,
as is proved by the fragments and nails
which were found. One stone coffin bore
plate, which seems to have previously
served as the ''head-stone" of former
grave; and all. the indications suggest
chat the place had been used at success
sive periods as a place Of burial. Most
Of the graves that were opened contained
skeletons of women and children, with
which lay bracelets, rings, needles, GEN.
sers for burning incense, etc. There
was one metal coffin, in which lay
woman's skeleton, but without airy FL
scription or ornament. In the chill
dren's graves there We're toys and other
objects, generally Of beautiful workman
ship, such as little bracelets, glass and
earthenware utensils etc. There was
one little polished goblet of singular
beauty. One stone coffin (the inscrip-
ton On which contained some mistakes)
held the body of woman, dressed
with lime for the purpose OF
preservation, having the back hair
arranged in long plat Of eight strands
woven with elegance, and the clearly
discernable remains Of a cap. The hair
is now red, but most probably was once
black. There was In the coffin a stone
need1e.case ornamented with gold bands,
two bone dice, a wooden casket with
bronze mountings, the key of which
was in bronze excellent preservation,
and bronze ring. As. to other objects
found in the place, small bronze fig

we're especially deserving of notice. A

found, ranging from the. time Of Hadri.

How Envelopes are Made,

Springfield has six firms engaged in
the manufacture of either envelopes or
papeterie, or both these products. The
Powers Paper Company and P. P. Kel-
logg & Co. turn out envelopes alone.
The Brine Paper Company confne
themselves to papeterie and the Nation
al Papeterie Company and Taylor,
Nichols & Go. and the Morgan Envelope
Company combine the manufacture Of
both. The company last named is the
oldest in the business, having started in
1855, and having manufactured the first
lot of papeterie ever thrown upon the
market, in 1866. Since moving into it's
new factory on Harrison Avenue, last
summer, it has secured facilities
for making envelopes, papeterie, and
boxes, which are unsurpassed in the
country, and which afford an
admirable opportunity to watch the pro
cess Of Manufacture from the beginning.
The Company use annually 1900 tons Of
paper Of every style, that and quality,
the product of envelopes in 1883 having
averaged 100000 month, rising in
August to II 900, 900. while the papeterie
product averaged 100000,
The process Of manufacturing envel-
opes is apparently simple, although in
reality complicated. True there are on
ly three distinct operations to be gone
through with-the cutting, cumming
and folding, but the blending OF the
last two operations into one makes nee
essary the use Of complex machine.
There is nothing remarkable in the first
part of the operation. The paper as it
comes from the factories is cut IN
squares Of diagonals measuring thirty by
forty inches, special diagonal
shapes being chosen for particular
cutting-dies Il in order to save
waste which would follow from the
sheet not being especially adapted to
the die. Each sheet will average thir-
teen envelopes, which are cut out by
dies Of innun1erab1e sizes and shapes,
but all yerging on the diamond 800
sheets being placed on the presses st 9
time. In spite Of all precautions there
Is q waste OF two pounds IN every forty,
and some idea of the extent Of business
may be gained from the fact that out of
this waste fifty tons are 81 away every
year. The folding and cumming ma ma
chimes are now brought into use, and
