ART OF PUTTING ON 4 STAMP.

"W hen you put postage stamp on
an envelope" said precise man to
his son, "you should put it on square
and true, in the upper right hand cor
ner, and as near as possible to the
margin of the envelope. You put it
on at the right-hand corner for the
convenience of the stampers in the
Post Office, so that it may be uniform
in location with the stamps on olher
envelopes aud so more conveniently
and expeditiously stamped; you should
study the comfort Of others as well as
yourself. You should put it as near
as possible to the corner; so that the
canceling stamp will be less likely to
deface aud so perhaps obscure the al.
dress on the envelope.
"You should put it on square and
true because that is the methodlcal
and proper way to do. Many persons
are disturbed by the appearance of a
stamp put on in a careless and sllpshod
manner. l can easily imagine that
such practice might work positive
injury to you. Yon might have occa-
sion to write to man on a matter of
business that was of Importance to
you. You might compose and write
this letter with faithful care and set
forth what you had to say with COM
mendable clearness and precision, and
yet upset it all by slapping on stamp
carlessly; the recipient might judge
you by the one slight act done nat
uraIly, rather than by the studied
work done with a purpose.
"My son, don't do it; put the stamp
on where it belongs, so that the little
touch of color will grace the envelope
and not deface It,"
There are two'ways to kill the germs
Of the horns in a young calf; one is to
cut them out when the calf is month
old by raising the skin in flap and
removing the small button which is
loosely attached to it. The flap of
skin is laid back and plaster Of tar
is laid on it, when the wound soon
heals. The other method is to apply
caustc potash wetted with water by
rubbing it on the skin where the
small nub of the horn is felt. The
rotash will burn the fingers and make
a bad sore unless it is held in wrap
ping of paper or rag. The wetted
potash is we'll rubbed into the skin
killing the immature shell of horn.
