Art and Happiness.

Artists are not as a class the happl
est OF mortals. but that is because they
fail to relate the ideal nationally &c
life rather than because they are vow
ed to standards Of perfection. Unhap
piness comes upon them as 1t would
upon any one else-in consequence OF
folly and Indifference and willfulness
and their devotion to art, which is Of
ten held to be the cause Of their mis-
fortunes. is in reality the only mitlsat-
ing factor in their lives. Bliss Carlnau

SWEET POTATOES PROVIDE
GUN FOR POSTAGE STAMPS

Every time person ticks 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 Un-
Gle Sans lieutenants consider It the
most harmless preparation of the
sort.
All the gum used on American post
age stamps is mixed by the govern
ment 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 1t ia made. These pipes lead
to a series of machines consisting OF
rollers, between which the sheets OF
stamps are fed one at time.
A continuous fine stream OF the IL
quid gum falls upon one Of these roll
ers. 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 emerges
at the other end OF the fiue the gum
Is dry.
The government makes two kinds
of postage stamp mucilage. II one
could see the packages OF stamps as
they come to the postoffice ready to
be sold one would find them labelel,
according to season. Summer Gum,
or Winter Gum" The former Ii much
the harder of the two and was devised
some years ago to keep the stamps
from getting sticky in warm, moist
weather.
While Uncle Sam tries to make the
lot of the stamp Ticker as innocuous
as possible, he does not advise max
ing a meal of his sweet potato gum.
A sheet OF postage stamps IL han
died a good many times before 1t sven
leaves the bureau where 1t is made.
II you must lick any OF your stamps,
pick out those from the middle of the
sheet. The corner ones have gone
through the fingers OF half a dozen or
more counters, not to mention the per-
forators and the separators and the
rest.

MOUNTAIN LIONS ON SKY
LINE DRIVE LAST NIGHT

Miss Alice Harding and Miss Ra-
chel Hutchinson saw three mountain
lions, an old on and two kittens, near
the southern entrance to the Skyline
drive while returning to town from a
horseback drive along the summit of
night. The ladies' had descended
about two thirds the distance from the
crest of the hill when they saw, a
short distance in front of them, a large
tawny colored animal with a long
tail creeping closely to the ground
along the wall which marks the outer
edge of the road at that point. few
minutes later their attention was at
tracted to a couple of smaller ami
mails of the same species, which they
are certain were mountain lions. AS
the horses the ladies were riding ap-
preached, the lions sneaked away and
were soon lost to sight among the
rocks which line the roadway. Noun
tain lions have been seen several
times by people riding along the sky
line drive, but never quite SO close to
the city limits as was the case last
night.
A meeting of the members of the
board of penitentiary commissioners
was held at the prison Monday morn
