How Corpses Travel at Sea.

In touching on this gruesome subject
of the disposition and transportation
of bodies, we wonder how many Of
our re ,ders who may chance to see
great box hoisted into the hold of n
transatlantic steamer, labeled "speci-
men of natural history" arc aware
that it contains a human body. Yet
such is the fact-and in such manner
does the entry appear on the ships
manifest. Sailors have long aban.
doned the superstition against sailing
with such an "ltem" among the cargo,
but passengers are always bGthcd in
gloom at such reminder that man is
mortal Hence the delicate cuphc.

Advertise in this Paper. It PAYS.
The WATER is STILL RISING.
Rany Families Driven From Their Homes
Along the Ohio

Cincinnati, Ohio (SDeciaD The food
outlook in the Middle Ohio Valley is
not very encouraging. The predicted
limit of So feet will be passed here, and
the estimated limit at other points will
be more than has been estimated. II is
also evident now that when the limit
is reached in the Middle Ohio Valley
it will be stationary for some time, and
the fall will be much slower than was
anticipated, even il there shall be no
second rise. This is attributed to ris-
ing waters in the Big Sandy, Muskin-
gum and other tributaries above Gin
cinnnati.
The Weather Bureau map shows rains
prevailing in the East that may move
westward into the Alleghcnies and start
another food in the Ohio, while its low
er tributaries began rising tonight.
Alter 3 p. m. Wednesday the rise at
Cincinnati was only half an inch per
hour until o p. m, and then it was ris-
ing at the rate of an inch an hour until
10 p. m, so that a stage OF 5S feet came
before midnight, instead OF aiterward.
With these fluctuations it is impossible
to forecast conditions below Catletts-
burg even with the government report
indicating fair weather
Business men and manufacturers in
the bottoms will suffer more than was
expected, and many more families will
be driven out Of their homes along the
Ohio to the south and along Mill Creek
Valley on the west and along the
Little Miami on the east side than we're
anticipated in the earlier preparations

STAMPS EoR our NAL.
Billions OF Them Printed Every Year to
supply the Demand.

Billions OF Them Printed Every Year to
supply the Demand
In the matter OF postage stamps it
is estimated that on an average every
man, woman and child in the United
States will use ffty-three postage
stamps during the year 1901, forty Of
them being of the popular two-cent
denomination. The total number con-
sumed will be over 4000,000,000, and
nearly 1,OOO,OOOOoO Of these will be Of
the one-cent variety. One person out
of every ten will send a special dellv-
cry letter in the course Of the present
year.
The FIRST process in the manufacture
of stamps at the money mill is to
count the sheets of blank paper, which
are purchased by contract. This work
is done by women, who, indeed, per-
form most of the labor in the Bureau
of Engraving and Printing, simply be-
cause they have proved themselves
more capable than men for business
Of this description.
Each sheet is the proper size and
shape to make 400 printed stamps,
with a small margin After they have
been counted the sheets are moistened
by laying wet rags between them at
intervals Of twenty, and next morning,
when the rags are removed, the sheets
are ready for printing.
These plates, always horizontal,
travel around the four sides Of the
Square at a moderate rate Of speed,
passing in turn beneath an ink roller.
Each of them is engraved with the
faces of 400 stamps and after being
mixed by the roller goes under a me-
chanical rubber, which removes most
of the ink.
Then the plate is cleansed Of all the
rest of the ink save what is in the
craven lines by a man who rubs 1t
with cloth and his bare hands, and
finally it goes under dry, cloth-cov-
cred roller, which, sheet OF white
paper being interposed, does the print
ing. All of these processes are ac-
complished four times inside Of half
a minute,
A girl supplies the fresh white
sheets as the plates come around to
her in quick succession, and another
girl takes thG1 out, fresh printed, MS
they appear on the outside Of the
cloth-covered roller, piling them neat
ly as she does so.
Then the sheets, so new and beauti-
full with their bright-colored impress
sions, are carried to another room to
be counted, after which they are laid
on racks in wire cages on wheels and
hauled into steam-drying rooms to
stay over night.
On the following morning they are
taken into the examining room, where
each Of them is carefully inspected for
defects Torn or otherwise imperfect
ones are rejected, but all fragments
are carefully stuck together, so that
each sheet may be accounted for. Each
person in this department Of the mon
ey mill is expected to examine 12,5OO
sheets in q days wOrk.-Washington

up as a man not in keeping with the

new President has already given
proof that these fears were ground
less. lie has already shown him
