MACHINES TO SELL STAMPS.

A special committee, named by inc
postmaster general, has begun to in
vcstigatc the advaptagcd of machines
submitted for use by the government
in the automatic sale of stamps.
This committee is compos's OF
Messrs, Mcmillan, inspcctorin charge
of the Washington division, chair
man; Andres, Of the office OF the
second assistant postmaster general,
and Assistant Postmaster Davis, OF
the Washington postoilcc.
1t is anticipated that there will be
between twenty and thirty machines
on exhibition before the meetings OF
the committee end.
The machines already submitted
come from inventors in Boston, In
dianapolis and Cleveland, but the
department has had letters from about
thirty inventors, who say that they
will submit models within few days.
One of these will come from Germany
and another from England.
1t is the Plan Of the department,
in case a machine is found that is re-

places, where now small sub-stations
arc maintained. On the depositiEg
of the right change, the machines

When you see the name Rydale in an
advertisement or On remedy it is sure
sign that the remedy advertised is ccr-
pounded from the prescription of a
specialist. A Specialist in certain dis
ease knows more about, and is better
fitted to treat that disease than anyone
else, and that is the reason why the Ry-
dale Remedies never fail to relieve ard
so often cure the troubles for which they
are recommended. Rydale's Stomach
Tablets, for Indigestion and Dyspepsia;
Rydale's Liver Tablets for Liver and
Bowels; Rydale's Tonic for system
builder and a sure cure for Chills and
Malaria; and Rydale's Cough Elixir, for
all ordinary Coughs and bronchial troub-
les, are four prescriptions of the best
specialists and will do all that medicine
can do. Jas. X. Waters.

departure as the will Of a gracious God
who in love ''givcth his beloved sleep, -
Resolved, That as we remember the
fidelity of our brother to every trust
placed in his hands, his cheerful accept
ance of all the burdens laid upon him be-
cause of his position in the church and
school, and his regularity and punctuality
in attendance upon the services of the
church, his firm faith in the power of
God to save and keep, and his ever con-
fdent hope of future life; we are be-
cause of his life and example inspired to
strive towards higher standard of faith

claims of God upon our lives,

reaved wife and children our sympathy
in this hour of sorrow, as we with them
feel the loss of the departed one,

The Steal il Stee,

company has issued its statement for
1905 and from this statement it ap-
pears:
First-That the gross sales we're sGs6,
756, OF.
second-That the company has 202.-
457 employees.
Third-That the employees received
last year STAT, 765, $40.
Fourth-That the net earnings for
the year amounted to S156, so, 273,1S.
From these figures it will be seen
that the net earnings amount to about
D per cent of the gross sales. Can the
average business man do that well
when he has no monopoly
1t will also be seen that 1.-THE net
earnings exceed the wages paid 10 en-
ployes. That means that each en-
ploye earns what is paid TO him and in
addition TO that earns profit for his
emoloyer more than equal to his wages.
The company makes more than one
hundred per cent profit on the wages
paid; can the ordinary business man
do that well when he has no menoro-
"?
The employees receive in wages about
q per cent of the gross sales and yet
the average tariff is about 80 per cent.
What need has the steel company Of
the tariff which it now enjoys? ana
