Postage Stamps.
The design of the stamp is engraved
on steel, and, in printing, plates are
used on which 200 stamps have been
engraved. Two men are kept busy at
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 those little squads are employed all
the time. After the small sheets of
paper containing 200 printed stamps
have dried enough they are sent inro
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
again dried—this time on little racks
fanned by steam power for about an
hour, they are very carefully put be
tween sheets of pasteboard and press
ed In hydraulic presses capable of ap
plying a weight of 2,000 tons. The
uext thing Is to cut the sheets In two.
each sheet, of course, when cut, con
taining 100 stamps. This Is done by a
girl with a large pair of shears, cut
ttng by hand being preferred to that
t>y machinery, which would destroy
too many stamps. They are then pass
wl to another squad of workers, who
perforate the paper between tho
stamps. Next they are pressed one*
more and then packed and labeled and
stowed away, to be sent out to tlie
various offices when ordered. If a sin
gle stamp Is torn or in any way muti
lated, the whole sheet of 100 stamps ii
burn (HI. Not less than 50,000 are said
to be burucil every week from this
cause. The greatest care is taken in
counting the sheets of stamps, to guard
against pilfering by the employes.—

A Hugo Freight liili.
j Ido not know that many are aware
that the annual freight bill of this
country amounts to more than SBOO,-
j 000,000 a year. It is a tax. and the
most burdensome tax which this conn
try knows, upon our industries and
upon production. Its meaning, brought
I home. Is that each family in the United
States pays on the average SOO a year
i for freight alone. If Commissioner
j Wright's statistics are correct—that
the average income of each laborer In
■ this country is not more than SSOO a
year—then each head of a family must
| set aside on the average the results
of a month and a half of toil to pay his
| share of the freight.
The people of the West have learned
vhis economic lesson well. They have
seen their wheat carried over the great
lakes at an average charge of less than
1 mill per ton per mile, when the rail
road rate from their farms to lake
1 transportation or to market was from
i I cent to V/j cents per ton per mile. They
know that If all the freight in the Unl-
I ted States could be carried as cheaply
as is wheat from Duluth to Buffalo this
; burden would l>o cut down to one-tenth
of what It now is.
Such considerations as these ought
| to make it plain, even to a wayfarer
ior a Congressman, that the freight
question Is worth a little attention.—

Mistakes With Old Orchards.
There is scarcely a farmer in this
country who uses any fertilizer for his
orchard, simply because he has al
ways been taught that the old orchard
would take care of itself. And what a
mistake! It needs the same care and
attention as tho hind devoted to other
crops. Why not renovate tho old
orchard? Cut down the worthless
trees. Plow the whole area, sow to
white clover and timothy, put on
about 200 pounds of muriate of pot
ash,and 200 pounds of dissolved bone
per acre. Keep the orchard trimmed
and each year apply chemical fertil
izers in about this proportion per acre:
Nitrate of soda, 100 pounds; ground
bone, 200 pounds; muriate of potash,
300 pounds. By a little systematic
work and study every farmer could
materially increase his profit with a
little extra work, and perhaps a little
outlay of money. If tho old orchard
is hard and unproductive, first put it
in fit condition for the growing of
crops and the trees.
Cover the hardest spots with ma
nure. Get humus in the soils, and
with an application of potash and
phosphoric acid, one.can feel sure that
a good harvest will result.—C. W.
Burkett, in Hoard's Dairyman,
' Blighted Celery.
G. A Woolson, of Vermont, writes:
It is a mistake to suppose that blighted
celery is not worth putting in for win
ter use. For four years the blight
has besieged my garden; rotating tho
crop makes but little difference; not
a decent head matures. Plants set
early in June grow well for a month
or six weeks perhaps, and then the
blight appears; active growth ceases,
then it stands in spite of fertilizers or
irrigation.
But about the first of October I
trim up the plants, leaving only the
the heart leaves. A shallow trench in
tho cellar is well watered and the
roots, with as much soil as can be con
veniently left on, are placed in the
trench; more water is given and sand
or other light and dry soil is worked
carefully in and about the plants,
leaving only the tips exposed. Finer
celery I have never had than such
roots furnished in January and Feb
ruary. If the long white brittle
stalks are cut oft' squarely—not too
close—a second crop has been ready
by April. This is lighter, of course,
than the other, but a dainty luxury
for the season. At tho present writ
ing—November 3—a marked growth
is already noticeable in plants not
three weeks in the cellar.
Why Timothy Run* Out.
As contrasted with clover, which is
only biennial, and dies as soon as it
perfects its seed, timothy may be called
a perennial. But it is the least per
sistent of all the grasses grown, except
on land that is inundated by an annual
overflow. The timothy root always
rur>n near the surface, and is, there
fore, much injured by winter freezing.
Not even letting the fall growth re
main as winter protection will keep it
from being thus injured. Usually, on
upland, the timothy roots exhaust the
surface soil after two or three years'
growth. Even if they did not the sod
is likely to be destroyad by white
grubs, the progeny of the slick beetle,
which lays her eggs in timothy sod,
and the first feed of its young is usually
the bulb at the surface of the ground
from which timothy roots proceed. In
many fields we have seen the sod so
entirely eaten out by these grubs that
the plants for a yard square or more
could easily be pulled up by the hand.
The thinning off' of birds by sports
men or for ladies'hats has greatly in
creased the white grub nuisance. For
this reason we should not try to keep
a timothy sod more than two or three
years, though if it is a meadow that
cannot be easily put to other use, it
can be done by putting on a coat of
manure everyjother winter. If the
grubs eat out the sod, sow some more
timothy seed this fall, or else prepare
to plow it to be planted with some hoed
crop next May and reseed the follow
ing spring.
• f Hemlock for Farm lluiUlingft.
The farmer of the United States
has gotten beyond the point.where he
wants the cheapest thing, simply be
cause it is cheap, but he, like every
sensible man, wants the most possible
for his money, with due consideration
to a reasonable profit to everyone
legitimately engaged in manufacture
or trade. Economy in buying de
pends not so much on tho actual price
as upon tho peculiar adaptability of
the thinglpurchased to the purpose
for whiqh it is intended.
The wider acquaintance the lumber
buyer or consumer has with varieties
of woods—with their peculiarities of
strength, durability, workable quali
ties, etc,—the more economically he
will buy. Having such knowledge,
he will find that the more
costly article is really the cheaper, or
he may find that the cheap articles
mas. for certain uses, be as satisfao-
Tory as the lucre expensive one with
which he is acquainted.
To the farmer, hemlock, which is a
comparatively new material in the
West, should appeal with special force
because of its peculiar adaptability for
certain classes of construction com
bined with cheapness. It is actually
better for some things than white pine,
and yet can be bad at a much lower
price. It is better for some things
than yellow pine—better, in fact, for
corn cribs than any other material.
Hemlock has the advantnge of being
both strong and stiff; that is, it is
capable of bearing a heavy strain and
of not yielding to it until the breaking
point is closely approached; thorefove,
for framing material it is unexcelled.
For mud sills aud in situations where
it is subject to alternations of moisture
aud dryness, hemlock is found ex
tremely desirable. Therefore, to a
large part of farm building construc
tion it is peculiarly well adapted.
In sections of lowa where it has
been thoroughly tried hemlock is
given the preference for barn contrac
tion. It is a little late in the season
to talk about coru crib material, and
yet tlio attention of farmers should be
called to the fact, supported by much
irrefutable evidence, that rats and
mice will not attack hemlock, and so
cribs built of it are rat and mouse
proof, except as the rodents may find
their way through openings into cribs.
They will not make an openings, how
ever, and this fact should commend it
for this purpose to the farmers.
Hemlock is still a cheap timber in
the West, and lumber consumers
should be given the advantage of this
fact, that they may use it wherever it
is possible aud economical to do so.—

The Training of Children.
"John," said Mrs. Wisely to her
liege lord the other evening, "I want
to have a very frank talk with yon.
Do you realize that the boys are old
enough now to observe aud are begin
ning to form their characters?"
"Of course I do. Grent boys."
"Yes, and we want them to be great
men. They naturally look up to you,
John, more than to anybody else. For
their sakes you must be careful .in
what you do and say. You fell over
a chair the other day and used some
very improper language. I heard
Willie repeat it when he stubbed his
toe iu the back yard."
"The little rascal! He didn't!"
chuckled the father.
"Yes, John, and they pretend to
smoke cigars and pour drinks from an
imaginary decanter. Can't you set
them a better example?"
"Sfy, little one, I heard Amy play
ing'keep house one afternoon . lately.
When callers were announced she
sent out word that she was not at
home. When she did consent to re
ceive any one she combed them down
to beat the tiaud before they were ad
mitted. One wns an old crump, an
other was an intolerable bore, and a
third better a good deal be at home
cleaning house or looking after her
children. Yon couldn't have done it
better yourself."
"I see what you mean, sir. No use
ol' rubbing it iu. But wait, dear," in
a softer voice. "Let's both do better.
It's for their sake's you know."
"I'll go yon." Aud they shook
hands.
As John left that evening he
slipped up on the front steps and
made the air blue. Around the cor
ner ho lit his cigar. Mrs. Wisely had
some animated gossip with a neighbor.
And yet the children seem to thrive.

INDIANS IN NEW YORK.
A Handful of Mohawks and Iroquois Llr
In the Big City.
Mr. Jacob A. Eiis writes an articls
for the Century on "Merry Christina:!
in the Tenements." Mr. Eiis says:
Within hail of the Sullivan Street
school camps a scattered little band,
the Christmas customs of which I have
been trying for years to surprise.
They are Indians, u handful of Mo
hawks aud Iroquois, whom somo ill
wind has blown down from their Ca
nadian reservation and left in these
West Side tenements, to eke out such
a living as they can weaving mats and
baskets, and threading glass pearls on
slippers and pin cushions, until, one
after another, they have died off aud
gone to happier hunting grounds than
Thompson street. There were as
many families as one could count on
the lingers of both hands when I first
came upon them, at the death of old
Tameuund, the basket maker. Last
Christmas there were seven. I had
about made up my mind that the only
real Americans in New York did not
keep the holiday at all, when, one
Christmas Eve, they showed me how.
Just as dark was setting in, old Mrs.
Benoit came from her Hudson street
attic—where she was known among
the neighbors, as old and poor as she,
as Mrs. Ben Wah, and believed to bo
the relict of a warrior of the name of
Benjamin Wah —to the office of the
Charity Organization Society, with a
bundle for a friend who had helps.!
her over a rough spot—the rent, I
suppose. The bundle was done up
elaborately in blue cheeso-clotli, and
contained a lot of little garments which
she had made out of the remnants of
blankets and cloth of her own from a
younger and better day. "For those,"
she said, in her French patois, "who
are poorer than myself," and hobbled
away.
I found out, a few days later, when
I took her picture weaving mats in her
attio room, that she had scarcely food
in the house that Christmas Day, and
not the car fare to take her to church!
Walking was bad, and her old limbs
were stiff'. She sat by the window
through the winter evening and
watchod the sun go down behind the
western hills, comforted by her pipe.
Mrs. Ben Wah, to give her her local
name, is not really an Indian; but her
husband was one, aud she lived all her
life with the tribe till she came here.
She is a philosopher in her own quaint
way. "It is no disgrace to be poor,"
said she to me, regarding her empty
Sobacco pouoh; "but it is sometimes a
?reat inconvenience." Not even the
recollection of the vote of censure that
was passed upon me once by the
ladies of the Charitable Ten for sur
reptitiously supplying an aged couple,
the special object of their charity,
with army plug, could have deterred
me from taking the hint.

Increase In Train Hauls
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad is
now reaping the benefits <>f the im
provements that have been made to
the property since John K. Cower, and
Oscar G. Murray were appointed Re
ceivers. It was stated* by a noted
critic of railway operations a few
months ago that if the Receivers suc
( eeded in increasing the train haul p j r
ton per mile to 300 that they could be
commended for having spent so much
money in buying new locomotives,
straightening curves, lowering grades
and laying new rail. Since June 30th a
careful record has been kept and the
results have been more than gratifying
t" tie 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 225 tons
and some old employees think it did
not exceed 200 tons. There are 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 satisfactory as that part of the
road crosses the Alleghenies, some
grades being 125 feet to the mile. The
averages on the several divisions range
from 32.21 on the Wooster branch to
534.19 on the Pittsburg division.

lie has now bored to u depth of 6,001- j
feet, and the machlue continues tx ]
delve deeper every flay. Before fal) '
the bottom of the drill will have reach
ed a depth of over 10,000 feet, or near
ly two mile*. The work is under tin j
supervision of Prof William Ilallock
of Columbia College, and it i being j
done for a very strange purpose. Deei
holes are usually bored for water ot
for gas or oil, and sometimes to pros
poet for mineral* of various kinds, but

every one knows, the interior of the- j
earth Is a burning, fiery furnace, and It |
Is Prof. Hallock'* theory that if he can j '
make a hole deep enough he can ob j
tain a constant flow of steam, which i
can be utilized for operating machin '

which is being bored near the city of
Pltteburg, is the deepest In tin* world
The next deepest 1* a salt: well neai i
Leipslc, In Germany, which measure*

asting to watch this wonderful expert- j

come when manufacturers will get all
their power from the bouiidleee fur j

our cities will be lighted from th* !

Will Locate a Capital.
Government proposes to found a ueif
city In Alaska known as "Weare" on

The Caretaker.
Caretaker is a word adopted into
modern use and means one who takes
• arc 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 tin cared for to th >ir 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 St. Jacobs oil as a caretaker, to
employ it as a watchman against such
intruders. There is hardly an ache,
from a toothache to a toeaehe, that It
can't take care of and effect a cure, and
pains the most violent are conquered
by Its use its office as a caretaker is
to prevent the spread of aches and
pains into a chronic stage. Keep a bot
tle of it in the handiest place and be
assured of good care and comfort.
