Making Postage stamp..

Postage stamps were introduced into
the United States in 1917. The print
ing Of postage stamps is done from
steel plates, on which a certain number
OF stamps are engraved, and the paper
used Is Of peculiar texture, somewhat
resembling that employed in bank
notes. Two persons cover the plates
with the colored inks and pass them
TO two others. who print them with
large rolling hand presses. The colors
used in the inks are ultro- marine blue,
Persian blue. chrome yellow, green,
vermilion and carmine. After the
sheets Of paper on which the stamps
are printed have been died, they are
sent into another room and gummed
separately. They are placed back up
ward on a fat wooden support, the
edges being protected by a metallic
frame, and the gum is applied with a
wide brush. The sheets are SUISSE
quentiy cut in halves with shears and
are then ready for perforating.

This Bachman, who was always count

Rather a bad actor any. way.
Splintered all over with lodges ano
Known as the worst of family oil

All of whom, have painted things a

But none could hold a candle with
this terrible Fred.
This Bachman, when he arrived in
town,
Was accompanied by II Judge OF
world renown.
This Judge from Butte, so tall and
straight,
Was always ready to fix date
You could find him always in the hotel
yard,
Looking for ladies to present his
card.
We'll these two turks, were not content,
With the innocent manner the time

But enticed these mining gents,
(who are SO sublme,)

Is right at home when it comes to a
mash;
But when he says, "beg your pardon, -
be on your guard,
For then he is apt to smite you
hard;
For in Switzerland this is only a
ruse,
And the fore-runner of more abuse
Now if you'll listen to me, I'll good
story tell.
How they crossed the line, and caused

This Dutchman from San Quentin, be

And placed the bunch in a position,
certainly precarjous.
He could not refrain from showing his
pride,
For the land of the Kaiser, on the

And he suddenly broke forth with
glad refrain.
Wacht on der Rhine, was on his brain.
When this saur kraut sound reached
the policeman's ear.
Stop stranger and drop tear.
Our Mexican brethren, could not un-
derstand
Why these loud smelling songs,
SHOULD be sung in their land
By bunch of Dutchmen of low de-

And a noted Judge from Butte County
Well this policeman mounted Bachman
first.
Of all the bunch, he thought him the
worst.
Then he landed on CASTOR Schawb,
And muttered in spanish, come on

Then off for the bug house, he started
quick.
This movement made the Dutchmens'
faint hearts sick.
I'll teach you deitchers to sing your

Across the ocean, where you belong.
Then out of the gloom appeared that
prince of good fellows,
Who's every mans friend,
Even hilarious Dutchmeu, with

Well what did this guardian angel do.
But pay the fine of this saurkraut crew
And turned them loose on Nogales'
streets,
That were once made famous by
Gaston's speech.
Now this great tall Judge and his
short legged pard,
Can be found any day in the hotel
yard,
With lingering, longing in their
sad gray eyes,
Each one struggling to win the prize.
This prize is beauty, with soft brown
eyes.
Who heeds not the Dutchman's long

And Is unaware of the big soft spot
In the Judges hearts, though he adj

And this little dutchman, with the

Says he'll win the prize, or there will

InnumerabIe superstitions Prevalent

nnumerahie Superstitions Prevalent
Among the Scilians.
People of Sicily are vastly supersti-
tious. The Sicilian believes-to give
a few examples-in the existence of
double-tailed lizard which con-
descends to take in its mouth the win
ming numbers of the lottery. He be-
lieves it is unlucky to marry or begin
a journey on a Tuesday or a Friday.
He believes in the power of maledic-
tions and of the evil eye and attempts
to defend himself against them by
wearing amulets-such as the corno,
a coral imitation Of the horn Of the
goat-by splitting three times on the
ground while pronouncing magic
formula, or Tin certain districts) by
invoking the name of Virgil, who
somehow acquired, during the middle
ages, a bizarre reputation as magi-
clan. He believes in sorcerers, of
whom q goodly number practice pro-
fessionally on his island, selling to
him, among other woodworking
charms, grotesque colored images Of
St. Paul tc be attached to barren fruit
trees and barrels in which wine has
soured. He believes that person
born on e friday is able to predict
the future, and that person born on
June 80 (the fete Of st. Paul, who
was unharmed by tho viper which en-
circled his hand) is able to do both
these things and to charm serpents
besides.
