Postage Stamps.
Tbe design of the stamp la pnjrrnved
on steel, and, In prin ting, pin tea nre
used on which 200 stamp have boon
engraved. Two men are kept busy nt
work covering these with colored Inks,
and passing them to a man and a girl
who are equally busy printing them
with large rolling hand presses. Three
of these little squads are employed all
the time. After the smnll sheets of
paper containing 200 printed stamps
bare dried enough they are sent Into
another room and gummed. The gum
made for this purpose Is a peculiar
composition, made of the powder of
dried potatoes and other vegetables,
mixed with water. After having been
(gain dried this time on Utile racki
fanned by steam power for about an
hour, they are Tory carefully put be
tween sheets of pasteboard and press
ed In hydraulic presses capable of ap
plying a weight of 2,000 tons. The
next thing Is to cut the sheets In two,
each sheet, of course, when cut, con
taining 100 stamps. This la done by a
girl with a large pair of shears, cut
ting by hand being preferred to that
by machinery, which would destroy
too many atampa. They are then pass
ed to another sqund of workers, who
perforate the paper between the
tamps. Next they are pressed once
more and then packed and labeled and
stowed away, to be sent ont to th
various offices when ordered. If a sin
gle stamp Is torn or In any way muti
lated, tbe whole sheet of 100 stamps It
burned. Not less than 60,000 are said
to be burned every week from thli
cause. The greatest care Is taken In
counting the sheets of stamps, to guard
gainst pilfering by the employes.
Ashton Recorder,
Mines Abandoned 8,000 Years Ago.
The most ancient copper mines In the
world are those of the Slnal peninsula,
near tbe gulf of Sues. They were
abandoned 8,000 years ago, after hav
ing been worked for some hundreds of
years. The process used In the reduc
tion of the ore Is said to be similar In
principle to that used at tbe present
time.

speed of 130 motions per minute,
which can be raised to 200, so that
machine 80 Inches wide, making 2-lnob
breadths, would perform the work ot
foTty women. The design Is pricked
out on a enahlnn ruled in an it nre. and
Ince pins stuck at the corners of thi
squares, where they remain until thi
lace Is finished. The ronl lace Is then

It She has at her side an assistant
who takes down the figures as they art
called out to her. The rows of pins of
motions are worked down the left ald
of the cushion draught; the number ol
threads Is marked from left right
along the top, and the maker reads the
number to her assistant while decom
posing, the exact motion of each thrend
being recorded. The paper on which
the motions are marked is then taken
to the puncher, who prepares the eards
accordingly, and the cards being placed
on the machine reproduce exactly the
same design. The machine Is small,
entirely automatic nd Is only stopped
to fill the bobbins. The bands of lace
are not attached to each other, each
being woven separate. The threads
do not become dirty or discolored and
the lace comes from the machine read
for the wearer.
A Huge Freight mil.
I do not know that many are aware
that the annunl freight bill of thla
country amounts to more than $R00,
000,000 a year. It Is a tax, and the
most burdensome tax which this coun
try knows, upon our industries and
upon production. Its meaning, brought
home, Is that each family In the United
States pays on the average $(10 a year
for freight alone. If Commissioner
Wright's statistics are correct-that
the average income of each laborer In
this country Is not more than IROO a
year then each head of a family must
set aside on the average the results
of a month nnd a half of toll to pay his
share of the freight.
The people of the West have learned
this economic lesson well. They have
sen their wheat carried over the great
lakes at nn average charge of less than
1 mill per ton per mile, when the rail
road rate from their farms to lake
transportation or to market was from
1 cent to Uj cents per ton per mil;. They
know that if all the freight In the Uni
ted States could be carried as cheaply
as Is wheat from Duluth to Buffalo this
burden would be cut down to one-tenth
of what It now is.
Pilch corutlderatlona as these ought
to make it plain, even to a wayfarer
or a Congressman, that the freight
question Is -worth a little attention.

There are many curable causes for steril

m THE REALM
Kevernl women have been seen In
npper Broadway recently with their
Jinir in nets, says the New York Press,
The arrangement was much like the
oM-fnnhioued chignon.
Chignons were worn almost uni
versally at about the time of the Civil
War. Nobody ever has been known
to assert that they were beautiful.
The real chignon is made by rolling

the hair into a large unpleasant bunch,
whioh then is surrounded by a net.
This makes the entire moss look like
the braided rope fenders worn by tug
boats.
An inducement offered by the chig
non is that one can wear somebody
else's hair if one lacks enough of the
real article.
The fact that it is an exceptionally
ugly fashion probably will insure its
popularity.
In the old ehignon days tho women
often carried in these nets enough
false hair to staff a sofa, and enough
wire, etc, in the shape of crinolines
to furnish a junk shop.
Btyllab Driving Cost.
However varied and numerous
the short coats and wraps may
be, says May Manton, the long
driving cloak or ulster, that pro
tects from both dampness and eold,
must always find a place. The model
shown is eminently stylish and prac
tical and admits of wear either with or
without the capes, so providing for
moderate or extreme weather. The
backs are snug-fitting, but the double
breasted fronts are loose, so avoiding
all danger of crushing the gown be
neath. There are both under-arm
gores skid side-backs, the two together
rendering the fitting easy of accom
plishment. The fulness at the back
is laid in underlying plaits below tbe
waist line. The sleeves are one
seamed and close. The neck is fin
ished with a high storm collar, and
the fronts are extended to form the
revers that turn back - over the capes
when the latter are worn.
The three capes are circular tn
shape and are joined together at the
neck where they are neatly bound.
As illustrated, the material is heavy
diagonal cloth, the only finish being
double rows of machine stitching.
The body of tbe garment is nnlined,
but both capes and sleeves are lined

the fronts and are flulshed with
stitched laps. The closing is effected
by means of large buttons and button
holes, a second row of the buttons be
ing added for decoration.
To make this coat for a lady in the
medium size will require six yards of
llfty-four-Inch material.
l'arty Onwnl.
Tbe exquisite color of Tarma vio
lets has been adopted by Parisian
elegantes for party gowns and the ar
tittio creations worn in the after
noons. One of these evening toilettes
is of Tarma satin, the skirt trimmed
with a flounce of embroidered tulle,
headed by a wealth of Parma violets.
The blouse corsage of Parma satin is
ornamenteoVwith a scarf of the em
broidered tulle caught into a large
bow by a bouquet of violets. Small
joskeys of satin fall over the tulle
draperies which form the short
sleeves. The tulle is used as a era
vat, and ties in a large bow at the
back of the neck. Nothing could bs
more becoming to a tall, slender
woman than this simple yet thorough
ly artistio model.
tVlnged and Cropping Things.
Spiders, grasshoppers and all sorts
of winged insects and groveling bngs
are the popular designs in jewelod
pins.
Orel-all For Small Boy.
Every mother knows the advantage
of an apron. The overalls here shown,
writes May Manton, serve the same
purpose, sud fill the same need for the
boys, at tho same time that they are
essentially masouline. While they
have been widely used during the
summer they are also of great value for
indoor play and work, such as carpen
tering and the like. The material is
the denim that is also worn by the
workman and can be trusted to endure
even boy's usage. The garment is
fitted by means of inside and outside
leg seams. Two patch pookets at the
front, and one at the book' provide
storage plaoe for all implements.
Straps are attached at the back irhioh
pass over the shoulders and buokle

Inorssis In Train Hauls.
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Is
now reaplnn- the benefits of the im
provements that have been made to
the property since John K. Cowen and
Oscar a. Murray were appointed Re
ceivers. It was stated by a noted
critic of railway operations a few
months ago that If the Receivers suc
ceeded in increasing- the train haul per
ton per mile to 800 that they could be
commended for having; spent so much
money In buying; new locomotives,
tralKhlenlns; curves, lowering: grades
and laying; new rail. Blnce June 80th a
careful record has been kept and the
results have been more than gratifylnff
to the management. Before new loco
motives were purchased, before track
Improvements were made and before
the tonnage system of loading; trains
was adopted, the average train haul
per ton per mile on the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad was less than 22B tons
nnd some old employees think it did
not exceed 200 tons. There nre no fig
ures for comparison but In July the
average was 334.76, In August 356.41 and
In September 361.4. a very large and
satisfactory Increase. The average
would have been still larger but for
the fact that on several divisions, de
pending on coal for tonnage, but little
or none was moved owing to the strike.
The Main stem figures are considered
very satlsfact-iry as that part of the
road crosses the Alleghenles, some
grades being 125 feet to the mile. The
averages on the several divisions range
from 32.21 on the Wooater branch to
634.19 on the nttsburg division.

Mining for Heat.
A man In Pennsylvaula Is trying to
make the deepest holo tn tho world
He has now bored to a depth of 0,000
feet, and the machine continues to
delve deeper every day. Before faU
the bottom of the drill will have reach
ed a depth of over 10,000 foet, or near
ly two miles. The -work Is under th
supervision of Prof William Hallock,
of Columbia College, and It Is being
(lone for a very strango purpose. Deep
holes aro usually bored for water oi
for gas or oil, and sometimes to pros
pect for minerals of vnrlous kinds, but
Prof. Ilullock Is mining for beat. Ai
every one knows, the Interior of tin
earth Is a burning, fiery furnace, and 11
Is Prof. Ilallock'a theory that If he can
make a hole deep enough bo can ob
tain a constant flow of steam, which
can be utilized for operating machin
ery. Already Prof. Hallock's hole,
which la being bored near the city of
Pittsburg, Is the deepeM in the world.
Tbe next deepest is a salt well neni
Ielpslc, In Germany, which measures
6,740 feet In depth. It will be Inter
estlng to watch this wonderful experi
ment. If It is succeseful the tlmo may
come when manufacturers will get all
their power from the bouudloss fur
naces at tbe center of the earth, when
our cities will be lighted from th
same source, our house heated, and
our railroads, street cars and steam
ships operated from the same source.

Th, Caretaker.
'Caretaker Is a word adopted Into
modern use and means one who takes
care of, and Is very generally applied
to those employed to take care of things
committed to their keeping. The way
some people have of taking care of
themselves Is very suggestive of the
need of a caretaker. The human body
to such Is a mansion filled with pre
cious things uncared for, where thieves
may break In and rust doth corrupt.
Pains and aches are thieves, and the
body left uncared for to their spoilage
will be robbed of all Its comforts and
despoiled of Its peace of mind and hap
piness. It Is a happy thought to look
upon Bt. Jacobs Oil as a caretaker, to
employ It an a watchman against such
Intruders. There Is hnrdly an ache,
from a toothache to a toeache, that It
can't take care of end effect a cure, and
pains the most violent are conquered
by Its use. Its office as n caretaker Is
to prevent the spread of aches and
pains Into a chronic stnge. Keep a bot
tle of It In the handiest place and be
assured of good care and comfort.
