There are three slots for removable
type. for months, dates, hour. and half
hour. Dramatically opposite the cir
Gle is the canceling device, the side of
which Is parallel with the edge of the
disk. Any required number or letter
Is cut In relief In the center, while three
grooves are cut intaglio. The remov-
able types are of steel, and have on the
ends opposite their faces projections
from their outer edges, so that when
inserted In the slots the projections can
be clamped and held in place.
Until 1880 Captain Chambers manu-
featured the cancelers here In Wash
ington, and he Is still required to main
tain repair shop in the neighborhood
of the Postoffice Department but he
moved his factory to Northumberland
county, Virginia, on leg of land at the
mouth of the Potomac, where he has
a little village composed exclusively of
employees and their families. No one
can enter his grounds without permits
sion, and those who have been there
say 1t is quite an ideal little village,
safe from spies of competitors who
would like to get the contract away
from him.-Washingto Correspond

purpose of the law was excellent
enough. There was time when emil

Is no doubt that there was crowding in
the ships that brought them, and to
prevent this law was passed impos-

put a stop to overcrowding. or. at
least. 1t Is supposed that 1t did. which
is about the same thing. Ships do not
fancy having to pay fines of this kind.
"Of course. In comparison with the
great army of persons who are brought
across the ocean from month to month,
there are very few deaths. for the stat
istlcians have been kind enough to

Walled In.

While excavating for a cellar In Ma
rietta, O., few hundred feet from he
famous Mound Cemetery, the work
men dug into mound builders grave,
which was supposed to be two thou
sand years old. The grave was cover
ed with three layers of heavy stones
with three inches of fine white sand
between each layer. When the third
stone was raised, the bones of large
man were discovered. In the bones of
each hand were solid copper axes. The
bones crumbled on exposure for an
hour. Large bits of charcoal were
found in the grave, as were the bones
of wild animals supposed to have been
deer. The grave was walled in on all
sides, and also the top and bottom,
with heavy stones. The body of the
mound builder sat in an upright posi-.
ton. with the hands in a position as if
supporting the body. The grave was
two and half feet wide by two and a
half feet long and five feet deep. and
the stones surrounding it were easily
broken with the fingers, as they were
very soft.

Statement of the Way
In Which She Was
Saved from Death.
From the Indianapolis Meaps.

Mrs. Mary K. Burns of sos Hia-
watha street, Indianapolis, Ind, is
living evidence of the wonderful powers
of DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People, the remedy that cures where
all others fail. For years she endured
all the fortunes of indigestion. nervous
ness and female weakness, a complica-
tion of troubles that five physicians
confessed their inability to cure. Her
story is we'll worth the attention of
every woman. She says:
my illness commenced after my
first child was born. l was SO weak
and nervous that it seemed | would
never get strong. For twelve years [
doctored for female trouble, complicated
with nervousness and Indigestion. My
stomach was SO weak that for days at
a time | could eat nothing but bread
and milk | was also troubled with
palpitation of the heart and was often
so miserable that | could not lie down.
Five doctors prescribed for me end |
took many kinds of medicine without
being benefited. One day I saw DIR.
Williams Pink Pills advertised in the
papers and I decided to give them
trial. l did SO and had not finished
taking the first box when l knew that

"You can imagine the relief | felt

VALUABLE SECRET.

One Family Has Furnished Sta mp Cam
ceiers for Sixty-five Years.
Since 1885 all the machines by which
postage stamps are cancelled and enve-
lopes marked with the name of the post
office, the date, ETC., have been made by
one family. In the year named the
Postmaster General entered into con-
tract with Benjamin Chambers citi-
zen of Washington, to furnish a device
by which postage stamps might be can
celed so that they could not be used
again, and, although there have been a
multitude Of competitors on several oc-
casions, that contract has been renew
ed year after year for sixty-flye years
with Mr.. Chambers, his son, and his
grandson, who have secret process by
which the dies are made of malleable
iron and carbonized into steel at cost
of from 30 cents to 1915 each. 1t Is
certainly the only government contract,
and probably the only contract In the
| United States, that has been renewed
so often and continued so long. The de-
partment buys about $4,000 worth of
new cancelers every year. Bids are adj
vertised for annually, and every now
and then some ambitious manufacturer
who thinks he has good thing offers a
proposal, but the Chambers family are
lnvincible. They have improved the de-
vice until 1t Is now almost perfect.
| The stamper Is circular cast-steel
| box with a screw thread, one end of
which is closed, and is provided on the
outside with square shank to secure
1t to the hardwood handle The cover
of the box is disk of steel. A portion
gifts thickness enters the box by means
of a screw thread around Its periphery
of almost twenty threads to the inch.
This permits Of space between the in
ner face of the die and the bottom of
the box, while the remaining thickness
of the disk forms flange with the
edge, which is coarse milled, so that the
disk may be turned with the hand or
a wrench. On the outer face of the
disk are characters of the body of the
cylindrical die These combine the
marking and the canceling devices, one
being on one side of the disk. inclosing

and Very Dark HAIR.
The Father of his Country concealed a
luxuriant suit of hair beneath his queue
wig. Many now wish the old fashion were
in vogue, to conceal thinned hair or bald
ness. Yet no one need have thin hair nor
be bald If he cure the dandruff that causes
both. Dandruff cannot be cured by scour
ing the scalp, because it is germ disease,
and the germ has to be killed. Newbro's
Herpicide kills the dandruff germ no
other hair preparation will. " Destroy the
cause, you remove the effect" There's no
cure for dandruff but to kill the germ.
