How Postage Stamps are Made.

The design of the stamp is engraved on
steel, and, in the printing, plates are used
on which POO stamps have been engraved.
Two men are kept busy at work covering
these with colored inks and passing them
to a man and girl who are equally busy
printing them with large rolling hand
presses Three of these little squads are
employed all the time. After the small
sheets Of paper containing 200 printed
stamps have dried enough, they are sent
into another room, and gummed. The
gum used for this purpose is a peculiar
composition, made of the powder of dried
potatoes and other vegetables, mixed
with water After having been again
dried, this time on little racks famed by
steam power for about an hour, they are
put between sheets of pasteboard, and
pressed in hydraulic presses capable of
applying a weight of 1000 tons. The
next thing is to cut the sheets in two,
each sheet, Of course, when cut, contain
ing 100 stamps This is done by girl
with large pair of shears, cutting by
hand being preferred to that by maehin-
cry, which would destroy too many
stamps. They are then passed to another
squad Of workers, who perforate the paper
between the stamps. Next they are
pressed once more, and then packed and
labeled and slowed away to be sent out
to the various Offices when ordered. Ifa
single stamp is torn or in any way mutt
lated, the whole sheet of 100 stamps is
burned. Not less than 10000 are said to
be burned every week from this cause.
The greatest care is taken in counting the
sheets of stamps to prevent differing by
the employees; and it is said that, during
the past twenty years, not single stamp
has been lost in this way. During the
process Of manufacturing the sheets are
counted eleven times.

those of his followers who had survived

rude boats and attempted to coast along

these boats was commanded by spanish

four Others, gained the mainland, and,
after varied experiences with the Indian
tribes, wandered into New Mexico, be-

into Mexico and reached the town of

unwilling steed in through the broken walls,
and was not made more comfortable by
the groaning of timbers, and falling wood
inside.
Leading the horse into one corner,
where he would be protected by the wall
from the full force of the storm, crouched
down ut his side.
"The storm which followed was terrible;
the rain fell in sheets, the thunder was al
most deafening, and the wind seemed
determined to tear the crime -concealing
walls ON their foundations.
my horse was young animal, and had
become very excitable. l found myself
liable to be crushed by him at any moment,
and was at last forced t) leave the shelter
which his body promised, and creep away
through the darkness to some further corner
of the building, out of the reach of his
heels
"The floor was full of pitfalls; but, TAX

of the upper floor which still remained

a large ragged hole in the broken floor.
Il at the same instant caught glimpse
of tall figure not more than three feet
distant.
"His features became so impressed upon
my mind in that instantaneous glance that,

ceedingly handsome, but with Wild looking
eyes, that curdled the blood in my veins.

scarcely human cry, the specter, as in that

across the chasm and seized me by the
throat.
Il struggled with the desperation of mad
ness to release myself; but, whatever his
appearance might be, the muscles seemed
formed of steel.
"He forced me backward toward the
hole; but the instant was falling the floor

DROWNED HER son.
A Vermont Mothers Unnatural Crime.
fgtonford W. anaciaI

A Vermont Mothers Unnatural Crime.
IStanford (Vt.) special
Mrs. William Sloan has for several
months been extremely jealous of her hus-
band, and the affairs of the family have
been the topic of conversation among the
villagers. Mr.. Sloan returned from work
at an early hour last evening. His four
year-old boy, who always met him at the
door, failed to do SO. On going into the
house he inquired for his son, and his wife
said she had sent the boy on an errand.
His long delay resulted in a general
search for the child, whose lifeless body
was found in ditch. The body was re-
moved to the house and laid at the feet of
Mrs. Sloan. She did net show any signs
of emotion or surprise, and merely said it
served her husband right to inflict such q
punishment on him. The cool way in
which she took the matter, and the fact that
she had refused to join in the search, led
the neighbors to believe that she had COM
mitted the murder. A constable took her
in custody and shortly after being locked
up she confessed having drowned the child.
Her only reason for doing so was, as she
said, to spite her husband. The shock has
made Mr.. Sloan insane.
