HOW ENVELOPES ARE MADE.
a Machine r.hes i. Biask ana 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 a pile OF blanks at reg
uiar intervals. and remove and band
the finished envelopes, ia 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 II by means Of an elastic sue
tion tube. The tube has a trumpet
shaped brass mouth-piece, which de-
sends upon the uppermost blank. and
at the moment Of contact the air is
exhausted by a stroke OF the air pump.
tnen the mouth-piece rises with the
plank attached, the arm and grippers.
rapidly projected from the other side of
the machine. seize the blank. the at
tachment to the h-piece ceases and
the arm shoots back. thus bringing the
blank into position over the folding
box, and there instantly releasing it,
Inc stamping is done at once by the
action OF hammer and die, and the
mucilase is applied to the side flaps OF
the blank; then a plunger-head. the
form and size OF the envelope. descends
and carries the blank down into the
folding-box. There 1t 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-
veiope 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
successiveiy. uniformly and regularly
arranged and worked along the trough
TO the place where the attendant re-
moves and bands them. The envelope
machine is compact, well-arrnnged
mechanical device. and works with
such rapidity that finished envelopes
are turned out at the rate of fifty n
minute; or three thousand an hour. En-
velopes were first used for letters. etc.

A LEOPARD SEAL.
Recently Captured In the shallow Waters

Rotchtty Nhptufcu IN tue snaiipW Whters
of Corson's Inlet. n. j.
Living happily, in 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 IL
fioundering about In shallow pool,
where Il had no doubt gone to catch n
meal OF live minnows. This amphibi-
ous creature is not unlike the common
seal seen in the geological gardens. Its
head is round. like that OF man; Its
snout Is broad, and its eyes are large
and expressive and Jet black in color.
II has long whlskers about the mouth
and formidable set OF teeth. Tho
body. the hands and feet, or tiippers.
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 leopard, 1t has two feet,
or hands, membranous in construction.
with five toes each, terminated by
claws. These membranes are turned
backwards, as II designed to unite with
its very short tail. The body is thick
est where the neck is joined to II. Since
its capture. the creature has displayed
wonderful sagacity. 1t has become
thoroughly accustomed to its keeper,
and whenever he approaches 1t, greets
him with cry, or bark. which is al
most human. Stroking 1t gently on the
head, its owner asks 1t II 1t wants q
fish. and seeming to understand the
words, 1t rises upon its fiippers. II ut
ters low growl. and gently takes the
fish offered to it. Its food consists
wholly of live fish, of which 1t eats
from eight to ten pounds daily. II is
an interesting sight to watch 1t catch
the live fish thrown into the water with
which the car is partly flled. Having
located its prey. II moves very slowly
towards II 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-
ceedingiy rare. and is seldom found in
the geological gardens. Its home II
along the coast of Labrador and North

Goshen, Indiana, survived such an attack
and her advice is worth needing.
'.In the fall OF 'ea, " she said, ~ began to

a sharp pain in my breast which became
rapidly worse. The doctor was puzzled and
put me under tho influence of opiates.
These sharp attacks followed one another at
intervals, and l became weak and had a

"At the end Of two years was confined
