Postage Stamps.

AS soon as they emerge from the hy-
draulic press postage stamps are gum
med. The paste is made from clear
starch, or rather its dextrine, which is
acted upon chemically and then boiled,
forming clear. smooth, slightly sweet
mixture. Each sheet of stamps is
taken separately, placed upon flat
board. and its edges covered with a
light metal frame. Then the paste is
smeared on with wide whitewash
brush and the sheet is laid between
two wire racks and placed on a pile
with others to dry. Great care is taken
In the manufacture of this paste. which
is perfectly harmless. This gratifying
fact has been conclusively proved by
an analysis recently made by an emin-
ent chemist. After the cumming an
other pressing in the hydraulic press
follows. Then another counting-in
fact, stamps are counted no less than
thirteen times during the process of
manufacture. The sheets are then cut
in half, each portion containing 100
stamps, this being done by girls with
ordinary hand shears. Next follows
the perforation, which is performed by
machinery. The pcrforations are first
made in perpendicular line and after
ward in Il horizontal line. Another
pressing follow>-this time to get rid
of the raised edges on the back of the
stamps made by he dies and this ends
the manufacture. y separate apart
ment is devoted to the packing and
sending OF the stamps 10 different post
offices. 1t w be seen by this account
that any absurd ruinor concerning the
poisonous or unciean properties of
postage stamps Is utterly without
foundation.

School Luncheons.

Time was when newspaper. writing
paper, and wrapping paper did service
in wrapping UP lunches. Then the
paper was discarded for the snowy
napkin. and that in turn for the tin
box. Now the tin box is almost a
thing OF the past. being supplanteu by
light, dainty little baskets with close
fitting lids. To fit up such lunch
basket the sides and bottom should be
covered with soft white wrapping
paper, neatly cut TO fit. aud this should
be put in fresh every day. A leather
covered flask, with Il metal screw top,
will be needed for whatever liquid is
supplied. The knife and fork should
be laid blade to tines and the napkin
wrapped about them. the spoon laid
with the back of the bowl against them.
and a rubber band slipped over all to
hold them. Some bits of oiled paper
such as confectionerS furnish, and a
jelly glass with tin lid which screws
on.
So much for the basket and its outfit.
Now for the lunches.
On Monday, some cold sliced chicken.
fresh buttered rolls. Il stalk of celery,
in the jelly glass. and an orange for
dessert. Tuesdays lunch may be ham
sandwiches. the ham to be chopped
very fine; little gelatine or jelly, and
a cream puff. Wednesday, biscuit,
with dried beef cut thin, oyster soup.
and cake. Thursday, bakers twist.
hard-boiled eggs. pickle. beef-tea, and
square of gingerbread. Friday, sar-
dimes olives, brown bread, clam soup,
and tart or fresh fruit.
The school girl should bc well nour-
ished; while the mental strain is going
on physical strength should be kept up.
Headache is 4 constant complaint with
school girls. This is generally owing
not so much to oyerpresSure in study
as to lack of generous nourishment and
variety in the food given. School
lunches should be rs varied rs possible.
Fruits as they appea. in succession
should be freely used. A salad of
some cold vegetable is not only appetiz-
ing but healthful. just giving sufficient
stimulant. And for the same reasons
broths of different kinds which can be
safely carried in the aforementioned
flask, are valuable.
When water-creSS is in market moth
ing is more dainty. delicate and nour-
ishiug. For the same reason meat or
fish salad laid upon Il couple of lettuce
leaves. is very desirable. Stewed fruits
of all kinds are better than preserved
or canned fruits. Cheese should be
used but seldom, and then it is best
grated. Pastry, also, should be used
sparingly, and never when it is stale.
Stale cake, too, is not TO be thought Of
Crackers should be used sparingly.
Cold tea, not too much swcetened. aud
without milk, is stimulating drink,
and where the lunch is of nature to
agpe with il, lemonade will prove
grateful.

A Novel Literary Scheme.

A man who has enough impudence
and iuventiveness to promise that he
shall succeed in something recently
wrote to a Boston author and offered
either to furnish him with plots for
stories on the one hand for moderate
rate or. on the other, to purchase any
tales which the author himself wished
to dispose of in the germ. His idea
seemed to be to establish sort of re-
tail business in the raw material of
fiction, to the end that any man who
had wish to write a story but found
himself without the requisite plot
might buy it as he would buy pound of
wax had he intended to make wax
flowers instead of novels; while the iu-
ventive genius who is ALWAYS having
ideas and never is able to work them
out properly is to be given chance to
make something out of his crude ideas
and to have the satisfaction of seeing
them tricked out by the cleyerness oil
those that have the requisite literary
skill. The idea is sufficiently novel,
and it is not wholly out of keeping with
the spirit of the age. 1t has certain
cooperative. utilitarian. materiaistic
flavor. and it has the characteristic OF
looking upon humanity as 4 mechanic
81 contrivance, which should recon-
mend it to the sympa;hles of the So
called nationals, novement.-The Book

DUElIkC IN JAPAN.
Revival of the Old Customs-Fines Imposed
to Suppress 1t.

Duelino, which was universal among
the military classes in Japan prior to
the revolution of 1868. and which had
fallen greatly into Gisuse subsequent tc
that event. has of late shown a tend.
ency to revive, says the London Times.
and accordingly the government has at
last dealt with the subject. In de-
cree signed by the emperor, counter
signed by the prime minister and the
minister of Justice, which has recently
been issued. it is provided that who.
ever sends or accepts a challenge tc
fight duel shall be punished with i'm.
prisonment, with hard labor, for
period OF not less than six months and
and not more than two years. together
with fine of from so to 500.
By the second article. whoever shall
have engaged in duel shall be pun.
ished with Imprisonment with hard
labor for period of not less than two
and not more than five years, to-
gether with fine of from $50 to 5000.
Whoever commits murder or infiicts
bodily injury on another in duel shall
be punished under the provisions of the
penal code applicable to that offense
under ordinary circumstances. Who
ever attends or promises to attend
duel as witness, or under whatever
name or pretense, shall be punished
with Imprisonment with hard labor for
"A period of not less than one month
nor more than one year, together with
fine of from s. to $50. Whoever shall
let or place at the disposal of duelists
any place with full knowledge of the
circumstances under which it is to be
used shall be liable to the former
penalty.
Whoever shall defame person for
not accepting 4 challenge for a duel
shall be punished under the provision
of the penal code for the crime of de-
famation, and, finally the offenses de-
tailed in the preceding articles shall be
punishable in accordance with its pro-
visions. should they prove to be more
severe. The drastic nature of this
legislation will be perceived By refer
ence to the minimum punishment.
which for sending a challenge is hard
labor for six months; fighting II duel l.
two years; being a second is one
month, together with fines; while to
kill an antagonist is murder, to wound
him is the crime of causing greyiouS
bodily harm, and finally, as a conclu-
sion and crown of the whole, duelsts
and their friends are to be punished,
not by this special law, but by the
general penal law if it happens that the
punishments provided by the latter are
more severe.

The Voices of English Women.


As for the soft, low voice of English
women" where does one encounter
that pleasing fiction? There NAV have
been time when most English women
had soft, low voices. but that time is
not the present. Many soft. sweet
voices YOU hear III London. But MANY
of them are the voices of American
women. The English woman either
talk too rapidly or she drawls. In the
first case, she cuts her words in twain:
in the second case. she drags them
along Is if they were too heavy for her.
Comparatively few English women are
good takers, either in manner or mat
ter. Few of them have we'll modulated
voices, and the higher they are in the
social scale the higher and thinner is
the vocal tone and the quicker is the
speech. | grant YOU there are excep-
lions for you will find exceptions to any
rule. But it certainly seems that the
voices of English women are changing
Tor the worse, and that the voices of
American women are changing for the
better.-Lond0R Letter.

CURIOSiTiES FROM AFRICA.
Things to BE Seen at the Stanley Exhibi'
ton Just Opened i'm Lontor.

In the center of the floor of the lower
gallery. saws the London Times, Is
very fine bust of Mr. Stanley and the
original cast of the well-known Afri-
can group of the Albert Memorial. Be
hind this is fine specimen of one OF
Mr.. Du Chaillu's gorillas from the Not
tingham Museum. The main exhibits
in the lower gallery are artistically ar
ranged, to some extent geographically,
in the numerous panels around the
walls. On one side spears are the con-
spicuous objects. and the variety of
type is quite striking. We have spears
from SomaliIand, the Nasal country.
the Congo, Uganda. Swaziland. the
Nyassa region, the Tanganyika region
and it is instructive TO compare the va
rious types. There are the graceful
forms which prevail in the west of
Tanoanyika. the rude forms so fire.
duently found in the Congo. the wire
covered handles from the Zambesi and
elsewhere the frightfully barbed mas
sive heads from certain districts OF the
Congo basin. Nearly all of these
spears, as well as other exhibits. haze
been collected by explorers whose
names are famous: men like Living
stone, Spoke and Grant. Stanley and
Thomas. johnson, and many mission
aries. the officials of the Congo Free
State and others. The exhibitors are
many, all possessing collections hav-
ing been willing TO contribute. One
of the finest collections is. no doubt,
that of Sir Henry Peek, whose spears
especially are of the most representa-
tive character. while Mr.. Silver has
sent many of the things brought home
by Joseph Thomson.
Equally varied are the types Of axes.
many OF them of the most ingcniously
elaborate form. Bows and arrows are
not numerous. but shields are plentiful
and varied: and il is Of much interest
10 note that the true Zuiu s.leldS cX-
tend even To the latitude OF Llnzibar,
where we find tribe who have been
LONG settled there, and who, though
they have ceased to wander. retain
many of the old Zulu customs. Some
of the personal ornaments are most
extraordinary. There are anklets like
enormous brass plates, with hole
through the center: others made OF
bars of copper, each over pound
weight. Then some of the money"
is of a strange character One specl-
men from the Congo looks like an
enormous sword, the blade about foot
wide. This is carried about and cut
up as wanted. The utensils of metal
and pottery are as varied and interest
ing as the weapons. One exhibit,
which will no doubt interest many visi-
tors is the complete equipment for a
horse brought by Mr.. Thomson from
Sokoto. The stirrups of brass must
weigh several pounds EACH while an
equally heavy brass ornament is used
as a frontlet for the horse. All the
other equipment is on Il similar mas
sive scale, while the leather work is Oh
great beauty and elaboration.

A Canine That Rides.

There is a dog in Chester, Pa, which
will never walk when there is chance
to jump on a street car and ride. He
is black Newfoundland. Much OF
his time is spent at the stables. AL.
though his home is only two squares
away he never walks to it, but waits
for car going that way on which he
jumps. He often goes off on pleasure
trip, riding to the different sections OF
the city on different cars, always sit.
ting on the curbstone until the car he
wants comes along. showing remarka-
BILE intelligence in allowing to pass him
those cars which branch off in direc-
lions contrary to the one he wishes to
take.

The Devils Dance.

A fantastic orgy was witnessed at
the town of Loongi, the capital of
Bullion. west coast of Africa. by
party of officers from the West India
regiment quartered at Sierre Leone.
The people of Loongi are mahomme-
dams but the dancing devil himself is
relic of a not long departed paganism.
and so also probably is the dance it
self. 1t takes place in the courtyard of
the chiefs premises. which is entered
through a circular hut. The scene
which presents itself to anyone coming
suddenly out of the darkness into the
noise and glare is decidedly uncannv.
In the center of circle which fills the
court yard. the devil with an orthodox
tail, n great crocodile's head, and long
grass. looking like hair, depending
from his body and legs and swaying
as he moves leaps, beating time with his
feet to the beat of the drums; while the
women, two deep, wall a chant and strike
tSeir palms together in slow, rhyth-
mical measure. those in the front row
bowling down between each beat. The
young men in long robes and caps wall
with the women. Both are under
vows, the dance being one of their
rites. They look dazed to begin with,
but gradually work themselves into
frenzy; and the black faces. the mo-
notonous, wailing cry, the thumming
of the drums, the rattle of the clackers.
and the beat of the devils feet as he
springs up, crouches down. and swings
about, make scene to shock the quiet
moon and stars and gladden. Gehenna.
North OF Sierra Leone Africa is ma
hommedan, south pagan, and the
southern people have this devil.
When peace is declared between two
native tribes, the peace devil, who is
fetish. comes leaping into the town;
but if he stumbles or falls. it is con-
sidercd bad omen, and he is put to
death for his pains. His dress is sacred.
but his person is of no consequence.

FACTS WORTH KNOWING

In all diseases of the nasal mucous
membrane the remedy used must be
non irritating. The medical profession
has been slow to learn this. Nothing
satisfactory can be accomplished with
douches, snuffs, powders or syringes be-
cause they are all irritating, do not
thoroughly reach the affected surfaces
and should be abandoned as worse than
failures. A multitude of persons who
had for years borne all the worry aud
pain that catarrh can infiict testify to
radical cures wrought by EIy's Cream
Balm. 26
