a Machine Takes Blank and Delivers
Perfect Envelope.
In the manufacture of envelopes, the
feeding, cumming, stamping, folding,
delivery, and collecting are all done by
machinery. To supply the voracious
machine with pile of blanks at reg
ular intervals, and remove and band
the finished envelopes, is all the man
ual labor necessary. A pile of enve-
lope blanks is laid on plate at one
end OF the machine, either when the
machine is still or in motion, and they
are fed to it by means of an elastic sue
ton tube. The tube has a trumpet
shaped brass mouth-pieee, which de-
sends upon the uppermost blank, and
at the moment of contact the air is
exhausted by a stroke of the air pump;
then the mouth-piece rises with the
blank attached, the arm and grippers,
rapidly projected from the other side OF
the machine, seize the blank, the at
tachment to the mouth-piece ceases and
the arm shoots back thus bringing the
blank into position over the folding,
box, and there instantly releasing It,
The stamping is done at once by the
action of a hammer and die, and the
mucilage is applied to the side flaps Of
the blank; then a plungeT-head, the
form and size of the envelope, descends
and carries the blank down into the
folding-box. There it is properly fold
ed by means of slides working in the
thickness of the folding box; after a,
time the bottom of the folding-box ris-
es and completes the operation by
pressing the folded envelope against
the slides, so that the edges are made
sharp and the adhesion is effected. The.
slides are then taken out, the bottom
Of the folding-box drops, and the en-
velope falls in a vertical position into
the delivery trough beneath. AS the
envelopes drop one by one into the
| trough, by means of a combination of
guides, holders and pressers, they are
successfully, uniformly and regularly
arranged and worked along the trough
to the place where the attendant re-
moves and bands them. The envelope
machine is a compact, well-arranged
mechanical device, and works with
such rapidity that finished envelopes
are turned out at the rate of fifty a
minute: or three thousand an hour. En-
velopes We're first used for letters, etc.,

LEOPARD SEAL.
Recently Captured in the shallow Waters
of COrson's Inlet, n. j.

OF COrBOn's lnleGS Ne De
Living happily in a large live-car or
box, at Corson's Inlet, n. J., is a pecu-
liar and very interesting animal. 1t is
a leopard seal. 1t was caught in the
waters Of the inlet, two weeks ago, by
a party of fishermen, who found 1t
floundering about in shallow pool,
where 1t had no doubt gone to catch a
meal of live minnows. This amphtbi-
GUS creature is not unlike the common
seal seen in the geological gardens. It's
head is round, like that of man; its
snout is broad, and its eyes are large
and expressive and jet black in color.
It has long whiskers about the mouth,
and formidable set of teeth. The.
body, the hands and feet, or hipperss
are covered with long, soft hair, and.
are dark brown in color, on the back
and upper parts, with the breast and
under parts handsomely spotted like
the skin of a leopard. 1t has two feet.
or hands, membranous in construction,
with Ave toes each, terminated by.
claws. These membranes are turned
backwards, as if designed to unite with
its very short tail. The body is thick
est where the neck is Joined to it. Since
its capture, the creature has displayed
wonderful sagacity, 1t has become
thoroughly accustomed to its keeper,
ind whenever he approaches it, greets
him with a cry, or bark, which is al
most human. Stroking it gently on the
head, its owner asks it If it wants a
fish, and seeming to understand the
words, it rises upon its fippers, It ut
tiers low growl, and gently takes the
fish offered to it. Its food consists
wholly of live fish, of which it eats
from eight to ten pounds daily. 1t ID
an interesting sight to watch it catch
the live fish thrown into the water with
which the car is partly filled Having
located fts prey, it moves very slowly
towards it and when within striking
distance, throws itself forward sudden
| ly and seldom fails to catch the fish,
The seal has learned to follow its keep
er about on land, and allows itself to
! be fondled The leopard seal Is ex-
! ceedingly rare, and is seldom found in
the geological gardens. It's home ia
along the coast Of Labrador and North
ern Canada.

Low Wages in the United states.

Labor Commissioner Wright is quot
ed as saying that "the average wages
per year paid in the United States is
$347, and the average product of each
laborer is valued at S1,8S8. This leaves
the American laborer but IL per cent
of his product. In Italy the laborer
receives 40 per cent and in Great Brit
ain he receives 20 per cent of what he
produces" 1t is time to stop talking
about the well-paid American work
man. The only reason he ever gets
high wages, apparently, is because he
does more work, and measured by what
he produces he gets less than the Eng
Hshman and not half as much as the
Italian. This accounts for American
manufacturers underselling foreigners
in their own markets for the last
twenty-five years. But what an enor-
nous price the consumer has to pay
SO per cent-for distribution and profit.

The Municipal Ownership Movement.
From the New York World we gath.
er the latest facts regarding the adj
vance in municipal ownership of natur-
al mOnopolies. In 1890 only 1919 per
cent Of the water works of the coun-
try were publicly owned Today So
per cent of the water supply plans in
the United States are publicly owned
Twelve American cities now own and
operate gas plants. Detroit under
Mayor Pingree established a munich
pal electric light plant in 1894. The
first official report showed that it cost
S84.7O per lamp to light her streets, in
stead of $1S88O under private owner
ship. Little Rock city electric lamps,
publicly owned, cost S51.20 per lamp
year. Boston pays private companies
$1S8 per lamp.
Philadelphia pays $3.50, Washington
pay ) $138. Jacksonville, Fla, started
an electric lighting plant of its own
and by so doing reduced the price Of
lights one-half.

The Fatherhood of God.

The Fatherhood of God-this Is the
root OF the religion of Christ. The
way in which he pressed it and reiter-
ated it shows that He held it to be the
root. All the facts in his religion
cluster around, or, rather, are born Of,
this fact.CAl the doctrines must be
interpreted by this doctrine. 1t is the
measuring rod ofall Christian theolo-
gy. And it Is the Justification of our
belief in the efficacy of prayer. Christ
has taught US, once for all, the logic
Of prayer. Here it is: eff ye, being
evil, know how to give good gifts unto
your children, how much more shall
your Father which is in Heaven give
good things to them that ask Him?''
It is a philosophy which we can all
understand. Prayer is the heart of a
child throbbing against the heart of q
father. We can measure the instincts
and laws of the divine Fatherhood by
the instincts and laws of our human
stherhood.-From 1.-THE Efficacy OF
Prayer in the Light of Evolution" by
the Rev. Walton w. Battershsll, D. d.

his patriotic ardor. When news came
that Ft. Sumter had been fired upon,
she instantly responded to the prompt
ings of her woman's soul and entered
upon her life's vocation. She adver-
tised 10 the papers that she would re-
ceive money and stores for the wound
ed soldiers at the front and that she
would personally distribute them. Her
appeal was literally responded to and
she went forth, with military trains.at
her service, with stores and comforts
for the soldiers In her hands, to serve
as q nurse not In the hospitals, but on
the battlefield. Her countless SER
vices to the soldiers during the tragic
scenes of the second battle of Bull
Run, Cedar Mountain, Spottsylvania,
the Wilderness, and many others,
earned for her the name, the angel
of the Battlefield"
AT the close OF the war, President
Lincoln recognized her worth and APP
pointed her to superintend that vast
and intricate correspondence OF the
friends OF the missing soldiers. BY
means of her own records and her skill
In following other clues, she traced
over 30, 600 OF the living and dead. Be-
sides comforting the hearts and sus-
tanning the hopes of thousands, she en-

After her war labors were over. she
lectured for two years upon her ex-
periences, and then her health failed.
She went abroad to regain her
strength. While on the continent the
Franco-Prussian war broke out She
was invited to join the Red Cross men,
bers on their way to the battlefield.
UP to this time her work had been en-
tirely separate from any organization.
For her services upon foreign battle
fields, especially 1t Strssburg and at
Paris, after the fall of the Commune,
tokens OF distinguished consideration
poured in upon her from nearly every
court in Europe; among these are the
golden cross of Baden and the iron
cross OF Prussia.
She commanded the great respect OF
the Red Cross members, not only for
her executive ability, but for her rare
judgment in all emergencies, and for
her boundless charity. She was de-
lighted with the grand work OF the
Red Cross, its organized system for
giving relief, and returned home eager

OF vice and corruption, they are, &C.
cordinR to his statement, centres of
Christian work, and many men who
came to them as self-satisfied sinners
are now on the high road to q higher
and purer life. He says:
Il believe that when the facts are full
ly known it will be seen that one of the
most remarkable things in connection
with this war is the wonderful revival
now in progress in many of the army
camps. While L have not been on the
ground myself, from the careful re-
ports OF conservative men / am sure
am safe in saying that not less than
five thousand men have made q public
confession of their faith in Christ, and
the work is going right on now with
undiminished power.
at means also that the moral atmo-
sphere in many of the camps has been
greatly changed. The men who have
not come out clearly as Christians have
ligious interest. A soldier said to one
of our workers at Camp Thomas: .'You
don't know what good these services
are doing in this camp. Before this
work began we heard cursing and saw
card playing everywhere: but now you
hardly hear any cursing and you see no
card playing. This work has made q
complete transformation In our camp. ~
Testimony such as this is certainly of
a cheering character. We have heard
much, and too much, OF the evil of the
cauteen, and from every point tn at the
volunteers have assembled have come
stories of all kinds of excuses. This
letter OF Moody's is almost the first
note OF hopefulness that has been
struck. 1t the result sof the evangeliz-
ing work are such as he depicts, camp
life will not only prove unharmful, but
will absolutely be positive moral and
religious benefit to the men.
We fear that Rev. Mr.. Moody takes
rather roseste view of the situation.
Army life is rough and tends rather to
profanity than prayers, but still, even
II the results are smaller than he anti
cipates, sthe work is good one and
should be encouraged to the farth est
limit. 1t is sort of Red Gross NOR ali

God And The Heaviest Battalions.

There is little force in the argument,
which we see many clergymen are ex-
panding in their discourses, to the eff
feet that our remarkable victories at
Manila and Santiago prove that God is
on the side of the United States. There
are good many other factors to be
taken into account than external sue
cess in determining that question. A
victory in war has been penalty quite
as frequently as a reward. A man
does not prove that God g favor rests
upon him by citing the fact that he
has made a million dollars; nor q ma
ton by its overthrow of armies or bat
tle-ships. Jesus. by his reference to
the men upon whom the tower of ST.
loan fell taught plainly that success or
disaster In the physical realm could not
be construed as indicating the favor or
displeasure of God. The book of Job is
an immortal protest against the pre-
else Interference that some of our min
listers are drawing from recent events

forts the United States Was the thirty
second nation to org anize Red Cross
society.
one of the objects of the American
society is to aid in time of great nation
al calamity. Since 1881 it has been
upon the field of thirteen great ma
tional disasters. When the forest fires
of Michigan, the Ohio and Mississippi
floods, the South Sea Island hurricanes,
the Charleston earthquake, the ter
rible Johnstown flood In turn had
wrought their awful ruin and disaster
and left thousands of people homeless
and in want, the Red Cross was upon
the field at once, and did noble and ef-
ficient service in distributing food,
clothing, and materials for rebuilding
the homes destroyed.
When the tales OF starvation, cruelty,
and massacre in Armenia were borne
to Miss Barton's ears, she responded to
the call, and the sultan did not dare
oppose the Red Cross, messengers, who
represent the kindness and generosity
of the Christian world.
Her noble work in Cuba among the
reconcentrados is familiar to every

Clara Barton and the Red Cross.

Nearly sixteen centuries have pass
ed since the cross decorated the ban
ner OF Constantine the Great, under
the folds OF which he was destined to
become the first Christian monarch of
the world. Through the middle ages
IL was emblazoned upon the breast
plates OF the Crusaders. 1t has never
been oblIterated, but has broadeued
and deepened In Significance until IL
has become q talisman to inspire men
70 do deeds Of humanity, TO relieve the
suffering and oppressed.
Not until three centuries ago did
there exist any system supported by
the state for the care aud relief of the
wounded, during the calamities of bat
tie or Siege. Later still, little thought
was given to the medical and sanitary
service of armies. Even during the
Napoleonic wars there was no hospital
service worthy OF the name.
England was the first nation in the
world TO entruss to . woman the hos,
pital arrangements for her sick aud
wounded soldiers. This was during
the Crimean War, when Florence
Nightingale went to the field of suffer
ing. The experiment proved grand
success. No praise was too extrava-
giant for the noble woman, who had
saved the lives of hundreds of Eng
lands bravest soldiers.
In 1864 the International Red Cross
Society was organized in Geneva
through the efforts OF q Swiss gentle
man, Henry Dunant, who had been
deeply touched after the battle OF Sol
ferino by the sufferings Of the great
number left to perish for the want OF
immediate help and suitable care.
The Red Cross Is q confederation of
relief societies in different countries.
Its aim is to smellorate the condition
of the sick and wounded soldiers in
vine OF war, TO provide alike for friend
and foe, and to secure the rights oil
neutrality for those engaged in caring
for the wounded. The emblem OF the
society Is q red cross upon q white
ground. In time war this flag must
be accompanied by the national flsg OF
those using it.
In this country the originator anu
head of the society is Miss Clara Bar
ton, whose philanthropic works during
the past thirty-seven years have ex-
tended over two continents and into
almost every field OF human misery.
Miss Barton was born in Oxford Mass,
In 1880 and was educated at the Clin-
ton Institute in New York. When she
was but twenty-one years old. she
founded free public school in Borden
town, N. j.. which rapidly increased
from six members to 500. She was the
first woman to be employed in the
United States patent office. The clerks
exerted their utmost ingenuity to
make the place so uncomfortable for
her that she would resign, but she
held her own. She was not one TO re-
treat even though she met with rude
ness and SANDER.
Her father had been a soldier in the
revolution under Mad Anthony
