MAKING POSTAGE STAMPS.

Philadelphia Saturday Evening Post
The design of the stamp is engraved
on steel; and, in the printing, plates are
used on which two hundred stamps have
been engraved. Two men are busy at
work covering these with colored inks,
and passing them to a man and girl who
who are equally busy printing them
with large rolling hand-presses.
Three of these little squads are en-
ployed all the time. After the small
sheets of paper containing two hundred
printed stamps have dried enough, they
are sent into another room and gummed
The gum used for this purpose is pc.
culiar composition, made of the powder
of dried potatoes and other vegetables
mixed with water.
After having been again dried, thi;
time on little racks famed by steam
power for about an hour, they are put
between sheets of pasteboard, and press
ed in hydraulic presses capable of ap
plying a weight of two thousand tons
The next thing is to cut the sheets il
two, each sheet, of course, when cut
containing one hundred stamps. This i:
done by girl, with large pair o.
shears, cutting by hand being preferred
to that by machinery, which would de
stroy too many stamps.
They are then passed to another squad
of workers, who perforate the paper be
tween the stamps. Next they are press
ed once more, and then packed and la
belled and slowed away, to be sent ou
to the various offices when ordered.
If single stamp is torn or in any way
mutilated, the whole sheet of one hun
dred is burned. No less than five hun
dred thousand are said to be burned ey
cry week from this cause.
The greatest care is taken in counting
the sheets of stamps, to guard against
pilfering by the employees; and it is saii
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.

NO CURE NO PAY

1t is pretty severe test of any doctors
skill when the payment of his fee is made
conditional upon his curing his patient.
Yet after having, for many years, OBJ
served the thousands of marvellous cures
effected in liver, blood and lung diseases,
by DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
its manufacturers feel warrented in sell
ing it, as they are now doing, through all
druggists, the world over, under certifi-
cate of poSitioe guarantee that it will
either benefit or cure in every case of di-
for which they recommend if, if taken in
time and given fair trial, or money
paid for it will be promptly refunded.. !.
Torpid liver, or "biliousness," impure
blood, skin eruptions, scrofulous sores
and swellings, consumption (Which is
scrofula of the lungs, all yield to this
wonderful medicine. It is both tonic of
strength-restoring, and Alternative or
blood cleansing.

RARES IN THE WOODS

An extraordinary story of babes in
the woods is reported from Jealls vii
lage, Connecticut Four miles from the
village. in the thickest of the Salisbury
mountain woods is an encampment of
charcoal burners, among them being
Andrew Fowler.
A few days since two little children
of Fowler's wandered from home. The
older one was readily found, but the 9TH
er, child of three years, became fright
ened and strayed so far away as to be-
come lost.
All attempts to discover the baby
were futile, and when the storm of the
next two days set in, it was thought
sure that the little one would die from
exposure.
The excitement among the burners
became intense, and a searching party
was organized, comprising one hundred
and eighty-ive men, who, with flaming
torches and lanterns, secured the woods
and mountain sides for miles around.
1t was not until o'clock on the after
noon of the third day that their search
was rewarded. The child was found in
a secluded nook in mossy glen, where
it had fallen. The little thing was
without stockings, shoes or hat, and had
been out in the woods all alone, and
during its absence crawling here and
there, without any protection from the
storm. which ragged almost necessarily.
Strange to say, the child was appa-
rently unharmed, and did not appear to
be much the worse for its thrilling and
hazardous adventure.
During the search on the mountain a
number of the men themselves became
lost in the forest, so dense is the growth
of timber.

GRAINS OF GOLD.

The slightest sorrow for sin is suffi-
cient if 1t produce amendment.
The opposite views of people are oft
en- equally remote from truth.
He is an accountant who can cast up
correctly the sum of his own errors.
Many would fain have the rule over
others, who cannot govern themselves.
Company which does not help to i'm
prove US, will certainly have contrary
effect.
The young man who is in love with
himself need never be afraid of having
a rival.
Those who have the most forgiven
them, should be the least addicted tc
slander.
Consider, why the error of another
offend thee, when thou art in no way &
party to it.
We are too apt to imagine that con
tentment may be found almost anywhere
rather than at home.
Our perceptions of truth are clear, il
proportion to our freedom from the bi
ases of error and prejudices-
Others sometimes appear to us NOR
wrong than they are, because we our
selves are notright in judging them.
The root of pride is self-eonfdence
and they who fancy themselves NOR
humble than Others, may be the least so
Perhaps the most delightful friend
ships are those in which there is mucl
agreement, much disputation, and ye
more personal liking.
If we were as intent on realizing re
ligious truths as we commonly are il
bringing others over to our opinions, re
ligion would soon flourish among us.
True glory consists in doing what de
serves to be written; in writing what de
serves to be read; and in so living as K
make the world happier and better TO
our living in it.

SINGING AND CONSUMPTION.

A paper was read some short time
since before the Medical Society of Vir-
ginia, from which parents and teachers
might take valuable hint. The lee
turer urged on his hearers the import
ance of including vocal music in the
studies of children as matter affecting
their physical well being; and he assert
ed that if an hour daily were given to
this pleasant and healthy exercise of the
lungs, we should not see so many droop-
ing, withered, hollow -chested, round
shouldered children, and that vocal
music is distinct preventive of phthisis

YOUNG woman, do be discreet; do not
think that young men are the only de-
lightful people in the world, or act as if
you thought so. Keep them at proper
distance. No man likes or respects girl
who runs after him, defers to his opin-
ions, lets him say rude things to her, and
take liberties of speech or action.

ONE of the lessons which young peo-
pie have to learn from experience is the
power, as well as the enduring quality,
of deeds and words, and that they can
not talk idly as the wind whistles, or do
carelessly as the reed floats, with no eff
feet produced, and no impress made.
