NEW STAMPING MACHINE
NOW PLACED ON TRIAL
Mechanism Expected to Facilitate
Making Up Mails at the
Postolfice.

Postmaster Merritt is trying a new
stamping machine In the city postoffice
The machine is the most elaborate vet
gotten ont by any postal supply estab-
lishment. The prominent feature which
distinguishes it from others Is the auto.
matte minute, hour and date stamp. AS
letters are now stamped, the hour and
minute figures are changed by hand
every half hour. but on the new ma
chine the minute, hour and day are
changed automatically by a clock.
The machine is perfect In its meehan-
ism. being operated by electricity, and
having stamping capacity of 80. coo an
hour, or 500 minute. The new appar-
atus is the product of a Chicago COM
pany
There ere now four big stamping ma
chimes In the city postoflce. two in the
mailing division and two in the delivery
division, and they stamp about 300. 0OO
letters and postal cards day There are
two hand feeding stamps in the mailing
division which are used in times of
unusually heavy mails
In the delivery division there is a ma
chine which does almost all of the work
for Major Bell, and IL the new machine
proves satisfactory. many of the men
will hate to see the old standby go.
For several years it has ground out
thousands OF letters each Cay. In the
last two or three years it is probable
that more than 100 900 900 letters and pos-
tai cards have gone through this ma
chine.

A FAIR EXCHANGE.

Large sums of money are no
doubt realized from simple spec
ulation, but the great fortunes
are derived from legitimate and
honest business-where the goods
furnished are worth the price
they bring. Certain famous bust
ness men have accumulated their
millions wholly in this way.
Prompt and faithful in every
contract or engagement they en-.
joy the confidence of the public
and command a class Of trade
that is refused to unstable or
tricky competitors. In the long
run it does not pay to cheat or
deceive others. A humbng may
be advertised with a noise like
the blowing ct a thousand trum-
pets, but it is soon detected and
exposed. The manufacturers of
wAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
have always acted on very differ
ent principles. Before offering
it to the public they first made
sure of its merits. Then, and
then only, did its name appear
in print. People were assured of
what it would do, and found the
statement truthful. To-day they
believe in it as we all believe in
the word of tried and trusted
friend. It is palatable as honey
and contains all the nutritiye
and curative properties Of Pure
Cod Liver Oil, extracted By Us
from fresh cod livers, combined
with the Compound Syrup of
Hypophosphites and the Extracts
of Malt and Wild Cherry. It
aids digestion, drives impurities
from the blood, and cures Ane-
mia, Scrofula, Debility, Influenza,
Throat and Lung Troubles, and
Wasting Complaints. DR.. Louis
VI. Bishop says: 81 take pleasure
in saying | have found it most
efficient preparation, embodying
all Of the medicinal properties
of a pure cod liver oil in most
palatable form" It is a scientific
remedy and food with a deli
cious taste and favour. One

Ex-Champion Shrubb.

Writing shortly after the English

eran." of the London Sportsman. says:
Now that the years hat-racing
championships are over one can reflect
on the changes which have taken place
since the holding of the same events
in 1904. From one mile to ten Che
two miles steeplechase only excepted
Alfred shrubb has held a monopoly
While he was succeeding TO champion
ship honors in Australia the champion
ship honors in England We're slipping
away from him. But, as he has been
setting up fresh records where he went,
and nobody has disturbed the records
which he left behind. il may be claimed
that in his case a reversal OF the
old proverb would not be very far
" rong-that he has lost the shadow
and grasped the substance. How tickle
is the public's affection for its idol,
Shrubb scarcely got a sympathetic note
on Saturday from the thousands as
sembled at Stamford Bridge He re-
tired long before the finish of the
1our-mlIe race a peaten man mean

cheers of an excited crowd and TO run

lousy slow 10 the defeated Shrubb.
That Shrubb was not in his true form
was clear long before his retirement
On the voyage home he has put on
Tot Of flesh. and I am inclined TO think
that in getting of the superhuous at
short notice he worked himself into
weak condition Also I believe that
he viii again rise TO the occasion and
by his running give a fiat contradiction
10 the assertion of several OF those who
saw him on Saturday that Shrubb had
seen his day"
