One of the most ingenious and at the
same time practically useful among the
automatic machines which have been in
troduced is a device which forms, fills,
weighs and seals packages in those es-
adjustments where large quantities Of
goods. such as fine cut tobacco, soda,
starch, etc, ase constantly put up. Tho
operation by which this result is accom-
plished, though decidedly novel, is not
at all complex in any particular, the ma
chine consisting merely of a series of
forming blocks, receptacles, folders,
gummers and feeders, all working in
mutual harmony, SO hat the packages
are smoothly and continuously produced.
The forming blocks successfully size
the paper, which instantly afterward
is wrapped around them, folded and
gummed at the end; the paper sacks are
then plunged into r~eceptacles filed with
the commodity with which they are in
ended, finally folded on top and sealed.

Although one may not keep cool, it is
some satisfaction to read how others
manage 1t. There is the king of Siam,
for instance. he is said to have in one
OF his country palaces a wonderful pa
vilion. 1t was built by a Chinese engi-
neer as a refuge for the king during the
extreme heat of summer. The walls,
ceiling and floors are formed of pieces of
plate glass an inch thick. They are 30
perfectly fitted together with a trans
parent cement that the joints are invis-
ible and no fluid can penetrate. The
pavilion is twenty-eight feet long and
seventeen wide, and stands in the mid
die of a huge basin made of beautifully
colored marbles.
When the king enters the pavilion the
single door is closed and cemented. Then
the sluice gates are opened and the basin
is lie with water. Higher and higher
1t rises, until the pavilion is covered and
only the ventilators at the top connect
1t with the open air. When the heat of
the sun is SO great that the water almost
boils on h surface Of the freshest foun-
tains this pavilion is deliciously cool.
n this is the way the king of Siam
cools himself off in hot weather. 1t
sounds very delightful.-Exchange

PLAY.
A Famous PLAY To be Produced at the
Opera House Tonight.

Denman Thompson's famous play from
life. The Old Homestead, will be seen at
the opera house this evening. The high
est praise has been lavishly rendered this
wonderful characterization, aud the inter
est IN it never seems to be lessened. no
matter how many times people see it.
One is said to come away from this per
Torrance with a sense of peace and rest
similar to that which is felt after two or
three weeks %soiourn in the country. An
odor of new mown hay. apples and cider
fingers about the auditorium.
A striking. realistic representation of a
New England story. The Old
Homestead holds the interest, without a
single climax to stir the blood or excite
enthusiasm. There are twenty-five PEG,
pie with The Old Homestead company.
A splendid performance is assured.

A VOICE From the Pulpit.

The Rev. DR.. Blackwell of Boston, says;
The performances of The C2emenceau
Case are object lessons, warnings to al
who allow the passions to rule this lie; an
application of the knife OF realism to the
cancer of infdelity. The sad fate of the
beautiful liza cannot fail to touch the
heart and be productive of much good. A
pure woman can be none the less pure
from witnessing these performances.
This play is in the repertoire of the
WILDER company. who play a three nights
engagement at the opera house, opening
Monday night. Admission 25 and so
cents.

A winter in the South-the very words
c~onjure up delicious memories for those
who have been there. The bright sunny
skies. the dry bracing air and the warm
sunshine is in decided contrast to the
cold, bleak North.
The great state OF Texas is celebrated
as one great broad winter resort in itself,
but the following places are, perhaps,
particularly popular: Fort Worth, with
its mineral baths, healthful climate and
good hotels; Austin. the beautiful capitol
city; San Antonio, one of the few really
historical places in our country; Houston,
with Its blooming roses, oleanders and
groves of oranges and lemons. and Gal
weston with its delicious sea breezes.
These are but n few OF the delightful
resorts OF this highly favored region.
An escape from all the pains and dis
comforts OF our rigorous weather, trans
ported by magic from the region of snow
and ice to the fragrance of this GUNNER
land, is now made possible and easy by
the Denver, Texas 4 Fort Worth branch
of the Union Pacific system. which runs
through Pullman palace sleepers be-
tween Denver, Fort Worth, Dallas Shreve-
port and New Orleans. aud offers exceed

If it is true that some parties are buy
ing up certificates of deposit of the
Cheyenne National at a discount to offset
claims which they have against the bank
they may possibly iall short of their cal
culations. AS an illustration: If a man
has borrowed $500 from the bank Tor
which he has given his note, and if at the
time OF the suspension the same indi-
vidual had s5OO.deposited to his c%recit, he
could not now offset one claim with the
other. He would be proceeded against
like any other debtor and the amount
owed by him to the bank first collected
He would her stand In relation to tn,

clared in the process of liquidation and
submitting to whatever loss might result.

however. everything looks as it did at first

L~ificates at heavy discount will very prob.
ably regret it.

RATES or AuvRRTIsING.
NEWSPAPER READERS INSURED.

1t is only of comparatively recent years
that newspapers have begun to appreciate
the value of advertising with relation to
themselves. The value of advertising, as
a general proposition, has been a hobby
with all OF them but its importance to
overlooked until within recent years. The
latest method adopted by the New York
Advertiser possesses the merit of novelty
and while one must die to beat the
game it is nevertheless very much more
c~ommendable than the circus" methods
SO often resorted to by other papers. In
each issue is printed a coupon for $500
worth of free life insurance. The coupon
bears date of the issue of the paper and is
to this effect: The Morning Advertiser
will pay $500. 90 to the legal heir or next
of kin of any person who meets death by
accident while in pursuit of ordinary
avocations, provided that at the time the
person so dying has upon his or her
body this coupon, dated as above, or a
copy of the Morning Advertiser of current
date. This insurance holds good for
twenty four hours, or from 3 a. IN. Of the
date named to 3 a. m. of the following
day. Satisfactory proofs of each CLAIM
must be presented within forty-eight
hours at the business Office"
1t is possible hat the Advertiser in
thus combining advertising with pbilan
throphy, may run up against fraud but no
one can deny to it novelty as well as
cleverness IN method.
