Uncle Sans Postage Stamps.

Some people imagine that Uncle Sans
postage stamps are printed in Washing
ton, but such Is not the fact. They are
all made by the American Bank Note
Company in New York city, which las
the contract from the government.
The stumps are printed from engraved
steel plates big enough to strike off 400
of them on sheet with single stroke of
the press After being struck off in this
way, the sheet passes beneath revolving
brush carrying mucilage, by which the
back of the sheet is gummed. The sheet
is then dried and fattened under an by
draulic press. Next it is run through a
performing machine, which is an arrange
ment of little wheels revolving parallel to
each other. and Just far enough apart to
make the perforations as one secs them in
a sheet of finished stamps fresh bought at
the post-office After the perforations
have been made across the sheet one way
by one machine, the sheet must pass
through second perforated machine for
the cross perforations, the stamps being
thus outlined so as to be readily torn
apart In the middle of each machine,
however is a knife which cuts the sheet
in two so that the sheet of 400 comes
out of machine No. in two sheets of 200
each, and these are divided into four
sheets of 100 each by the knife in machine
No. .. All stamps come in sheets of 100
for sale The stamps are now done. and
only remain to be gone over, inspected,
counted and tagged in packages of 100
sheets before being sent out As they are
printed the sheets of stamps are carefully
counted and if one is ever so slightly de-
fective, though but one stamps is injured
or imperfect, the sheet is destroyed and
carefully accounted for.
It is an old story. by the way, that when
the English government wished to dis
cover a way 10 tear stamps apart readily
it offered $50, 600 for an acceptable sug-
gestion. A povert-stricken but ingenious
Britisher proffered the notion of pcrforat-
ing the stamp sheets and received the for
tune. Washington Star.

Manufacture of Mushrooms.

A mushroom manufacturer is the
latest thing IN novelties, even in these
days when commercial license is often
carried to the utmost possible length
An individual living in the department
of the Aveyron, France, struck by the
high price at which mushrooms were be-
ing sold in the district, conceived the
idea of fabricating the delicacy out of
turnips. He cut the turnips into rounds,
dried them, and after giving them dab
of the paint brush, disposed of them to
unsuspecting customers as the genuine
article. For some time he drove a
thriving trade, but, unluckiy for him.
he one day sold a batch to gourmet who
was not so easily taken in. Indignant at
the trick played on him, the gourmet
brought an action, which has Just result
ed in the condemnation of the mushroom
manufacturer to two months imprison-
ment. 1t was in vain that he pleaded
that he had enabled his fellow citizens to
regale themselves on vegetable which
they regarded as good specimen Of the
mushroom at a cost far below that of the
real article. Vain, too, were his efforts
TO demonstrate that his mushrooms could
be consumed without entailing disastrous
consequences on lovers of the delicacv.
The court turned a deaf ear to his
specious arguments, and has allowed him
two months leisure to mediate on the
error of substituting dried turnips for
honest mushrooms.

Country Roads.

Attention cannot be too frequently
drawn to the importance of good roads.
In cities, even, the pavements Of the
streets are better index to the popular
taste and to public spirit than are the walls
of public buildings In the country,
roads are the measure of public and pri-
vate enterprise They favor or hinder
intercourse according as they are good or
bad, and upon intercourse depends to a
large extent the intelligcr ce and refine
ment of people.
The Romans knew well not only how
to conquer, but how to civilize and gov
ern. They were the road builders of
their time. There are miles and miles of
road bed still in use in England that was
laid down seventeen or eighteen hundred
years ago. In France they are older and
more extended. Along these lines have
grown up some of the largest and most
prosperous cities of the world. Through
many centuries, the thoroughfares fur
nished all the advantages of navigable
waters.
But the argument drawn from the
profit and loss account is the one most
effective in these days, and that is the
one which readers are likely to meet with
pretty often in our public prints. Sew
eral estimates made by experts upon
economic questions have been recently
published.
Professor Ely, of Johns Hopkins Uni
vsrsity, reckons that "poor roads cost
the farmer, on an average, fifteen dollars
per horse"
Professor jerks, of Knox College, Illi-
nois, argues that with good permanent
roads freight could often be hauled ten
miles on wagons cheaper than it could be
taken one mile on a dirt road to a rail-
road station, unloaded, put on the cars,
and carried to its destination"
These are the opinions of specialists
who have no doubt gone over a great
many columns of statistics in making up
their estimates There is no practical
teamster who will not admit the reason
ableness of their conclusions. The great
est obstacle. perhaps, to the improvement
desired arises from the circumstance that
there are es yet no really good roads in
this country, and from the other fact that
the science of building roads has never
been studied by our people, Youths
Companion.

all the other tribes of that great nation
aid 90 to the Black Hills, there to seek
out the Indian Messiah, or great medi-
cine chief, who is expected to restore the
Iadian to his former greatness and do

When told that this matter had been
investigated some time ago and that the
Sioux had sent runner to the Pacific
coast for the purpose of meeting the
messiah, old Bark-on-a-Tree said
"White man heap lie" On being ques-
toned slowly he said that the messiah
lived in the Black Hills, and could only
be seen under great difficulty. He must
be approached with great care and with

Polishing UP West Pointers.

Lieutenant John Newton, of the Six
teenth Infantry, sat the Ebbitt. He has
Just completed his first years course at the
Fort Leavenworth Military School. 1.-THE
school,, said he, ''is designed as a sort of
postgraduate course to West Point. An
officer is detailed from each infantry and
cavalry regiment in the army to take the
course. In time all the junior officers
will have gone through the school. The
science of war is gone over. The princl-
pal battles of the world are studied. We
are instructed in military engineering,
and are given thorough course in
hippology. The proper saddhng,
bridling, biting, riding and treatment
Of the horse is gone into at length. A
book written by an Austrian major of
cavalry is the standard. He shows that
the fourteenth vertebra of horses back
bone is upright, while all the others slant
either forward or backward. The saddle
should be directly over this vertebra,
the rider and stirrups directly in line, so
that the centre of gravity, which passes
through this vertebra, and the centre of
motion should coincide. He also holds
that horse should be fitted to bit just
as man is measured for boot If his
ideas are carried out in the army there
will be an immense saving of horsefiesh.
Our cavalry is, of course, mounted
infantry. We have no real cavalry The
war proved the superiority of mounted
infantry. The advantage of the use of
horses is in their aid to quick mobiliza-
ton. The whole science of warfare is
innate. General Forrest used to call it
'gitin' the mostest men thar first. ~

OK May 6, 1921. DR.. Automachi, as
sisted by Thomas Carswell, proceeded
to make an autopsy on the body of Ma
poleon l. at Longwood. The post NOR
tenn was interrupted by the darkness Of
the evening. When going to continue
the autopsy next morning the physi-
clans found the great, massive heart had
almost been devoured by rats. A fresh
lambs heart was taken and placed in
the dead Emperor's thorax. Thus the
body Of Napoleon, which reposes under
the dome of the Invalides since 1S4O,
contains the heart of an innocent ami
NAL instead of that of the hero of the
Austerlitz.
