Preserving the Balance.

A well known professor of architec-
ture, commonly referred to as Ham
my" by his pupils, told story illus
trative of the remarkable degree to
which certain persons possess the sense
of symmetry.
It seems that there was once a
Scotch gardener who had charge of a
good sized English estate and under
whose direction the formal garden at
the rear had been laid out with abso-
lutte symmetry, even the two summer
houses, one on each side of the garden,
being Identical in even the most minute
detail. On one occasion the English
man became angry at his son and
locked him up in one of the summer
houses. As soon as the Scotch garden
er heard Of this his sense of symmetry
was so outraged that he Immediately
sent for his own son and locked him
up in the other summer house to pre-
serve the balance. "Hammy' neglect
ed to mention whether both boys were
dressed exactly alike, but it is to be
presumed that even this detail was at
tended to by the aesthetic Scotchman.

Postage Stamp Gum.

Every time a person licks a United
States postage stamp he gets taste
Of sweet potato. The gum with which
the stamps are backed is made from
that succulent vegetable because Uncle
Sans lieutenants consider it the most
harmless preparation of the sort. All
of the gum used on American postage
stamps is mixed by the government at
the bureau of engraving and printing,
where the stamps are made. 1t is
spread on the sheets after the stamps
have been printed. The gum, in a
liquid form, is forced up through pipes
from the basement, where it is made.
These pipes lead to a series of ma
chimes consisting of rollers, between
which the sheets of stamps are fed, one
at a time. A continuous fine stream
Of the liquid gum falls upon one of
these rollers. The sheet with its wet
coating of sweet potato mucilage passes
from the rollers into a long horizontal
flue filled with hot air. When it
energies at the other end of the flue

STRAIGHT From the Animal.

A London gentleman, having taken
a small farm in the country as being
the correct thing to do, as we'll as to
get little fresh air, had invited some
of his friends down to see his new
possession.
Having viewed the domain and not
ing the absence of creature life about
the place, one of his friends remarked:
with nice, open place like this, /
wonder you don't have some animals
about, as is usual on farm. Some
cows, for instance, so as to have your
own butter and cream"
''No-o," drawled his host, "don't care
about butter or cream"
'sSome chickens or ducks, then. You
surely like fresh eggs?"
