\ POSTAGE STAMP MACHINE

Some months ago Trinidad clergy
man designed postage stamp ma
chine, which has recently been i'm
proved in London and installed in a
postoffice in that city.
BY automatic action when proper
coin is placed in the slot and the
handle pulled it separates penny
stamp from roll inside the machine
and securely fixes it upon the envel-
ope held in an aperture of the ma
chine. The machine is about the size
of an ordinary typewriter, and stamps,
envelopes, newspapers and circulars
at the rate of 1000 an hour with
seemingly absolute accuracy. The
machine will hold $4,000 stamps, and
as used each stamp is automatically
registered.
The coin to be received by this
piece of mechanism must be genuine,
of perfect size and shape. It is
claimed that it will return the silver
piece inserted in the slot by error,
but keeps without any recompense
the fraudulent metal disk 1t is re-
ported that the machine is to be
placed in every underground railway
station and at all pillar boxes.

under it and stretched out on their

would give him a chance to run.
The boys talked over quite a num-
Der of important things, and then all
at once Billie sat up straight and
gazed at Dryden.
What's the matter?'' asked Bry-

OFT IN THE SILLY NIGHT.

Oft in the Silly night
Ere Slumber's chain has bound me,
Fond memory brings the light
Of other days around me;
The smiles, the tears
Of boyhood's years,
The words of love then spoken;
The eyes that shone,
Now dimmed and gone,
The cheerful hearts now broken!
Thus, in the Silly night,
Ere Slumber's chain has bound me,
Sad memory brings the light
Of other days around me.
When | remember all
The friends so linked together,
I've seen around me fall,
Like leaves in wintry weather;
I feel like one
Who treads alone
Some banquet-hall deserted,
Whose lights are fled,
Whose garland's dead,
And all but he departed!
Thus in the Silly night,
Ere Slumber's chain has bound me
Fond memory brings the light
Of other days around me,

THE EXCEPTIONAL YOUNG MAN.

The exceptional young man, says
Orison SWEET Marden in an article in
Success Magazine, is the one who
looks upon his employers interests as
he would his own, who regards his
vocation as an opportunity to make a
man of himself, an opportunity to
show his employer the stuff he is
made of, and who is always preparing
himself to fill the position above him.
The exceptional young man is the
one who never says: Il was not paid
to do that" 81 don't get salary
enough to work after hours or to take
so much pains" He never leaves
things half done, but does everything
to a finish.
The exceptional young man is the
one who studies his employers bust
ness, who reads it's literature, who is
on the watch for every Improvement
which others in the same line have
adopted and which his employer has
not, who is always improving him.

Those who really wish to cultivate
beautiful teeth will brush them when
they take their morning bath, after
each meal, and before retiring at
night. The brushing after meals
should be very light, just enough to
remove any food particles and leave
the mouth in a sanitary condition.
Brush thoroughly in the morning and
the gums. Use the brush up and
down as well as across the teeth.

THE CARE OF THE TEETH.

Is there any feature more attrac-
tive in either man or woman than the
CLINT of white teeth between two
strips of scarlet?
When an attractive set of teeth are
more important to beauty than any
other feature, perhaps it is unexplain-
able why they should be neglected
so generally. Many girls spend for
lip rouge the money they might bet
ter give to the care of the teeth, for
If teeth are white they will contrast
with the color of the lips and thus
lessen the necessity for rouge.
Chalk, cuttlefish bone and pumice
stone are all used in cleaning the
teeth. Pumice is effective in remov-
ing stains, and should be used on the
end of burnt match, SO that it may
be applied directly to the discolored
spots. If the pointed match can
not be inserted between the teeth,
dentists silk, dipped in water and
then in pumice, should be worked
through the opening. Passing the
silk between two teeth and bringing
It forward through the next opening
prevents tartar collecting behind the
teeth.
Pumice is liable to injure the gum
unless applied with great care.
Stains on the teeth may be removed
with peroxide of hydrogen, which is
sure to be harmless Cuttlefish bone

FORMS OF sALuTATIoN.

We seldom think, says the Ave
Maria, as we tip our hats to friends
and acquaintance when we meet, how
varied are the forms of salutation
used in different countries. Each
formula reveals something of the
characteristics of the people who have
adopted it as an expression of friend
ly greeting:
The Arab says: MAY the morning
be fine"
The Ottoman: May God grant you
His favors''
The Persian's salutation is: MAY
your shadow never grow less.''
The Chinese says: ''Have you eaten
your rice?"
The ancient Greeks said: Rejoice"
The modern Greeks, with their spirit
OF commercialism, inquire: What do
you do?" or How is your business?"
The old Romans salutation was:
'sVale! Salve!"
The Italians say: "How are your"
In Spain they say: How do you
pass the time?"
In France: How do you carry
yourself?"
In Germany: How goes it?"
The Hollander's well-known interest
in navigation is shown in How do
you travel"
The Swedes say: 'How do you
feel?"
The hospitable Scotchman says:
How do you live?"
The laconic Russian says: BE
WE'LL"
The Americans and our English
speaking brothers say: ''How do you
do?''
But of all forms of salutation, that
used by the early Christians were
certainly the most beautiful, ex-
pressing the best of all good wishes:
1.-THE Lord be with thee!"

THE BEST KIND OF PICTURES.

Betty had little Brownie Camera,
birthday present from Uncle Louis.
l will finish up all the pictures
that you will take" her uncle had
told her, provided you take the right
kind"
How shall / know what the right
kind are?" asked Betty.
I. think" said Uncle Louis. "that
the best pictures to take are those
that give the most pleasure to the
most people. For instance, if you
were to take a picture of that old tree
over yonder, who would care to look
at it? The tree is neither pretty nor
picturesque; nothing about or around
it would give anybody the least pleas
ure; but suppose you take snapshot
of baby over in the garden there, as
she drags her little cart along-why,
IL 1t were a good picture, almost
everybody would be pleased with it,
oh, I want to take her right now!"
cried Betty.
So Uncle Louis taught Betty just
how to hold the little box, and how
to press the button at just the right
time, and she took several snapshots
OF baby. and she thought that taking
pictures was the incest fun in the
world
The next day Uncle Louis finished
the photographs, and when Betty saw
them she hoped up and down with
delight.

| Everybody said baby's pictures
looked exactly like her, and Auntie
Grace stood them up in a row on
the shelf, SO that she could see them
all the time.
Then Uncle Louis put another roll
or film in Betty's camera, and told
her she could take six pictures more.
You will have to decide for your
self what to take this Time" he said,
for shall be away all day"
Betty wandered about the house
and the yard, wondering what would
make the best kind Of pictures.
'Oh, | will take my dollies!" she
thought, and raced upstairs to get
them.
Betty! Betty called mama,
there is somebody here to see YOU"
"Oh, dear!" scowled Betty; but she
went down, and found Helen Carter
and her little brother on the piazza.
They lived three blocks away, and
had come to play with her.
"Oh, is that your camera?" asked
Helen, for Betty had left it on the
piazza table.
Yes; I had it for my birthday"
Show her the pictures you took"
said Auntie, fetching the cards.
Helen hung over them admiringly.
Il wish I could take such, she said.
Jamie and are going to have our
pictures taken some day. Mother
says we will have to wait till times
are better and father has more work. !"
Betty was thinking hard-oh, so
hard! "The best pictures to take are
those that give the most pleasure to
the most people''-that was what I'm
Gle Louis had said. And, Of course,
some pictures of Helen and Jamie
would give lots of pleasure to-well, a
good many people.
But she did want the dollies' pic
lures.
She wanted them to show to Auntie,
and Auntie was going home tomor
row-before there'd be time to take
any more And one of the dolls was
apresent from Auntie, too!
Uncle Louis would never know
