Machines that Count, Wrap and Tie.

Two of the most wonderful automata
now working within the limits of the
United States remarks the Argosy, are
those used by the government for
counting and tying postal cards into
small bundles. These machines are
made in Connecticut, and the two are
capable of counting the prodigious
number of 100000 such cards in ten
hours, and wrapping and tying the
same in packages of twenty-five each.
In this operation the paper is pulled
off a drum by two long fingers which
come up from below, and another fin
ger dips into vat of mucilage and ap-
plies itself to the wrapping paper in
exactly the right spot. Other parts OF
the machine Irvine the paper around
the pack of cards, a thumb presses
over the mucilage spot and the pack
age is thrown upon a delivery belt
ready for delivery.

Water Cycles.

There seems to be a probability that
cycles may become as popular on the
rivers as they are on the roads. At
Kingston-on-Thame Eng, a machine
OF this kind has this season been at
tracing much attention both on ac-
count of the high rate of speed which
it attains and the ease with which 1t
can be propelled, costing no more
strain in the muscles, it is said, than
an ordinary bicycle. 1t is propelled by
three men, who manipulate it with the
greatest ease; it makes no appreciable

Both Leicester and Polling were ex-

Expelled But

The boys of Freshfield school, at
which Frank Leicester had been but
few weeks, hardly knew what to make
of that young gentleman. Born and
reared in Texas, he had all the charac-
teristics of the typical American boy,
though his parents were English.
Dying within few weeks of each
other, they had left him to the care Of
his relatives in the old country, who
placed him under Doctor Pollock TO
have him fitted for English CONNER
cial life.
He apparently neither knew nor
cared anything about cricket or fives;
but at running and swimming he had
proved himself equal to the best; and
he was already looked to for ideas
when mischief was brewing.
His latest proposal was causing
great commotion. Imbued with the
Yankee spirit, he wanted to celebrate
the Fourth of July.
Like true Britons, the whole school
had at first objected. But when Frank
vaguely limited of the many new fire.
works that he would show them how
TO make, and dilated on the fun they
could have with them at this time OF
tn year, their patriotism cooled, and
most of them agreed to assist him.
The elder boys, however. jealous Of
Franks growing popularity, did all
they could to suppress the scheme.
There had been many angry disputes,
for Frank, accustomed to leading, chafed
under opposition; and a crowd was
now flercely wrangling over the matter
round the cricket pavilion.
who cares tuppence about the
Fourth of July?" said Polling, their
vice-captain and the principal objector.
II don't know anything about the
Fourth of July"
cor anything else I guess" put in
Frank, aggressively. Look here,
you fellows; you're as good as Ameri-
cans"-Pelling protested-"Well, near
ly as good; anyhow, you're not buffers
to stand out when there's such mighty
fun about"
Fourth of July be bothered! shout
ed young Jackson. II vote for the
fun"
Fun said Polling; call rot, I"
But the Texan would stand no more.
Tell you what" said he, beginning
to take off his coat; 'if you can lick
me, reckon the thing can slide"
Polling was ready enough; in mo-
ment he threw off his coat. and faced
his challenger.
But it was not to be. Jackson, sem
Tor, their captain, stepped between
them. The doctor had asked him to
keep an eye on Frank; and the young
ster looked no match for Polling. who
was one of the best fighters in the
school.
What's the odds, Pelling?" said he.
BLOW the Fourth of July! Let him
have his fireworks If he wants them"
The boys, though ever eager for a
fight, backed up their captain; and
Frank being we'll content with this
compromise, the matter was amicably
settled.
For the next few days Frank was
hard at work. Nearly all were ready
to assist him, but only faithful few
were permitted to have hand in the
arrangements.
They made several surreptitious Jour-
neys into the town, and had quickly
collected all the necessary materials.

So hear my song, oft sung before
Thy heart, dear love, is home to me.
In darkest moments. when l stand
With feet most weary, heart most

True, tender dreams, from memory's

OF long days when your clear eyes

The hue of skies and distant sea.

Your heart, dear love, was home to me.
Why heed the ills from fate's stern

Those woes that she doth or us pour?
LIES but an inn; we, guests trepanned
To pay an austere landlords score.

The roads mishaps; it leads to thee,
And there, by all true poets lore,
Thy heart, dear love, is home to me.

The presidential campaign is again at hand ;

the rights and interests of women. Pro-

equal opportunities. equal pay for equal
work and protection to the home. We
favor the admission of women 70 wider
spheres of usefulness. and welcome

abide and these principles we will put
into execution. We ask for them the
considerate judgment of the American
people.

that the election will bring victory to
the Republican party and prosperity to
the people Of the United States.
