Rigid Economy.

There is a good story told Of the
economical qualities Of two we'll
known and wealthy gentlemen living
in the east part OF town, that II n
good lesson for those reckIessIy er-
travagant persons who are not pos
sessed Of the true spirit Of economy.
On a certain night one Of these gen
tleinen called on the other TO transact
little business at the formers resi-
deDce. The host lighted a candle
that they might examine some papers,
but Immediately blew 1t out again
when they were through, leaving
both sitting in the dark.
why did you blow out the eandleT
asked the caller.
"Oh, we can talk In the dark as well
as in the light, and 1t saves the can
de" was the reply.
They continued their conversation
for short time, when the host heard
some mysterious sounds coming from
the direction OF the callers chair, and
inquired what his friend was doing.
"Why,r said his friend, ''it's dark
in here, and no one can see me, so l
thought would take OF my trousers
to save the wear on them"

How Postage Stamps are Made.

The design Of the stamp is engrav-
ed on steel, and, in printing, plates
are used on which 200 stamps have
been engraved. Two men are kept
busy at work covering these with col
ored inks, and passing them TO n man
and girl who are equally busy print
ing 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 ana
gummed. The gum used for this pur-
pose 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 ofpasteboard and
pressed in hydraulic presses capable
Of applying a weight Of :, 2,00Otons. The
next thing is to cut the sheet in two,
each sheet, Of course, containing 100
stamps. This is done by girl with
a large pair of shears, cutting by hand
being preferred to that 10y machin-
cry, which would destroy too many
stamps. They are then passed 10 an
other 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 to the various Offices when
ordered. If single stamp Is torn or
in any way mutlated, the whole sheet
Of 100 stamps is burned. Not less
than 500, 600 are said 10 be burned
every week from this cause. The
greatest care is taken in counting the
sheets Of stamps to guard against pill
fering by the employees; and it is said
that during the past twenty years not
q single sheet has been lost in this
way. During the process OF manu-
featuring the sheets are counted
eleven times.

SHEpHERDSTOWN w. VA, FRIDAY JANUARY 81 1890
A MILESTONE.

AS the fist big pattering drops that fall
With a splash on the lattice pane,
Make us shiver and stare and as they warn
us all
or storm, or OF coming rain,
So it is with life, when We are growing old.
And age steals unaware.
We shiver and start If the truth were told,
AT the sight of our first gray hair.
We mark not the light OF our MONDAY hours,
Like the first streaks the dawn doth bring
We hail not the birth OF our summer flowers
As do the first snowdrops OF spring;
On the bleak winter wind we look with grief,
Though 1t howls through the branches bare,
But we sigh when we witness the brown au-
tumn leaf,
And behold natures first gray hair.
Gray hairs may come when the beaming eye
Has none of It's brightness'lost.
When with bouyant heart we would fain de-
ny
Youths Rubicon has been crossed;
Yet the ivy clad trees look young and treen,
Though the sapess trunks may be there,
And naught of decay on our cheeks may be
When we witness our first gray hair
Come early, come late, like knock at the
gate,
Is that first soft silyery thread:
And 1t joins with its silence the years that
await
With the years forever fed;
1t silently tells us we're journeying on
II SilantIy yuupstIOns-where
OH faithful milestone, were the truth but
known,
sseen I'm our first gray hair.
