head of a South American Indian.
The head is five centuries old and be.
longed to an Indian chief named Huam-
brsa, who was killed during the war
with the Augarnua Indians, ON the river
Santiago. Tho head was cut from the
body 10y its Brazilian captors, and, with
consumate art, all the bony matter was
removed from the interior, leaving moth.
ing but the flesh and skin. Then, by
some long lost process, II was embalmed /;
50 perfect is the work that all the features
are preserved in their exact proportions.
but so reduced in size that the whole
head is not larger than good sized
orange.
Attached to the top Of the head. and
run through the upper lin. are long
strands Of bright cOlOred hemp, used in
carrying the head at the waist as a
trophy, after the fashion OF the North
American Indians. Black silken hair.
about eighteen inches long, hangs down
on either side, aud the chin IS adorned
with n black imperial. Even the eye
brows and the short hairs within the
Dostrils are preserved. The curiosity is
valued at $4,000. .- Boston Gkobe.

A submer,ed R,lImar IN snain.

Tho somnolent country OF Ferdinand
and Isabella is no slouch when she wakes
up and sets To work in earnest. Just
now she has novelty in the way of a
submerged railway. IL runs through
the surf of Orcton, near Bilboa, $50 feet
out into the ocean. The mines of
Oreton are extremely rich in iron, but there
is no harbor there and great difficulty
has heretofore been experienced in get.
ting the ore of TO ships. Now that tho
submerged railway has been built il is a
simple matter. It runs out into deep
water, and an iron tower seventy feet
high, worked by counter balances, runs
from the cliffs TO tho waiting vessels,
which was mocrcd bow and stern i'm tho
roadstcad. When the tower arrives at
the snip its top, bearing its load Of ore,
is about even with the vessels deck. As
soon as the iron is loaded on to the
ships the weight OF the counter balances
pulls the tower back 10 the cliff, where
1t runs up TO the mouth Of chute and
automatically opens its mouth. The
chutes comes down from tho mines, and
when it has dropped on the tower
enough orc to overcome the weight of
the counterpoise, the tower starts away
to sea again. This sort Of thing is kept
up until the vessel is filed. All that is
necessary TO do TO start the tower on its
peregrinations and put the submarine
railway in operation if for the miners TO
drop ore into the chute .-Meto Orleans

SLEEP

They know not that their father tolls
They know not that their mother prays-
Bending In blessing DER their beiS
impioring grace for after days.
While children sleep
They never dream that others work
That they may have their daily breadl
When morning comes they rise aud eat
And never ask how they are fed
While children sleep
They do not see the shining sun
They do not see the gracious dew,
10 daily miracle OF love
Is ever making all things new.

And know not that our Father works
With wntchful care about our way:

DO we not sleeps
And never dream that Others work
Reaping the sheaves that might be ours:
We see not how the shadows fall.
Which mark the swift departing hours.

See not the hands stretched out 20 bless
See not that waiting for ms stands

How Postage stamps are Prepared.


As soon as they emerge from the hy-
draulic press, postage stamps are
gimmed. The paste is made from clear
starch, or rather its dextriue, which is
acted upon chemically aud then boiled,
forming a clear, smooth, slightly swcet
mixture. Zach sheet of stamps is taken
separately, placed upon tat board, ana
its edges covered with light metal
frame. Then the paste is smeared on
with a large whitewash brush, aud the
sheet is laid between two wife racks and
placed on II 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 eminent chemist After the gum.
mihgi another 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 i'm
half each portion containing 100 stamps,
this being done 10y girls with ordinary
hand slears. Next follows the pcrfora.
ton, which Is performed 10y machinery.
Tho perfurations are first made ir per.
pendicular line, aud afterward In n hori.
zontal line. Another pressing follows.
this time To get rid of the raised edges
on the back of the stamps raised by the
dies and this ends the manufacture. A
separate apartment is devoted TO the
packing and sending of the stamps tc
different postoilices. II will be seen by
this account that any absurd rumor con.
cerning the poisonous or unclean proper
ties OF postage stamps is utterly without
foundation . United lStdtcs Mail.
