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, unci passing thorn .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 ; tho time. After the small sheets of paper containing 200 printed stamps have 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 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. Tho 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 ting by hand beiug preferred to that | by machinery, which would destroy , too many stamjis. They are then pass- Ml to another squad of workers, who perforate the paper between the j stamps. Next they are pressed one* cnore and then packed and labeled and stowed away, to be sent out to the various offices when ordered. If a sin- ! glo stamp is torn or in any way muti lated, the whole sheet of 100 stamps is burned. Not less than 50,000 are said to be burned every week from this cause. The greatest care Is taken, in counting the sheets of stamps, to guard against pilfering by the employes.— Ash ton Recorder. Mines Abandoned 3,000 Years AJI.

Use SAPOLIO Laoemaking Machine. The problem of making by machln i •ry lace which cannot possibly be dla languished from that made by hant j seems to be solved by a machine in j vented by a Spaniard and now in us< in a great Nottingham lace factory. I| i claims to reproduce any pattern thai j can be made by hand on the cushion and one-third finer than the averagi j quantity of lace. The mechanism hai ! j a speed of 130 motions per minute j I which can be "raised to 200. so that i machine 80 inches whle. making 2-incli , breadths, would perform the work o) | forty women. The design Is pricked i out on a cushion ruled in squares, ano lace pins stuck at the corners of tb< | squares, where they remain until th ' lace is finished. The real lace is thei ■ decomposed by the woman who madi j It. She has at her side an assistant J who takes down the figures as they ar : called out to her. The rows of pins oi I motions are worked down the left sid j ! of the cushion draught; the number oi ! threads is marked from left to righl \ ulong the top, and the maker reads tin ! number to her assistant while deconi j posing, the exact motion of each thread ! being recorded.

I do not know that many are aware | that the annual freight bill of thi9 j country amounts to more than SBOO,. | 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 SOO a year for freight alone. If Commissioner | Wright's statistics are correct—that the average? income of each laborer In i this country is not more than SSOO a year- then each head of a family must : set aside on the average tho results of a month and a half of toil to pay Ills j share of the freight. The people of the West have learned this economic lessonPrrell. They have j seen their wheat carried over the great lakes at an average charge of less than i 1 mill per ton p?r mile, when the rail road rate from their farms to lake transportation or to market was from 1 eentto IV. cents per ton pcrmlle.Tliey know that if all the freight in the Uni ted States could be carried ns cheaply as Is wheat from Dulutli to Buffalo this • burden would be cut down to one-tenth of what It now Is. ! Such considerations as these ought to make it plain, even to a wayfarer or a Congressman, that the freight question Is worth a little attention.— ! Review of Reviews. Origin of I'opular Games.

Miss Helen liockwood, of Peru, Tn(l., is one woman who considers an engagement sacred, aud in order to till one she drove sixty-five miles across country in an open buggy in five hours. She was billed to appear !at a concert at Frankfort, but missed the train at Peru. She drove to Ko komo, hoping to catch a train there for Frankfort, but arrived just in time to see the train pull out. This being her last chance, Miss Lockwood de cided to continue her journey over land.

Afghanistan New Wuiniui. The new woman has penetrated even to the harem of the Amoer of Afghanistan, where she wears male at tire and does precisely as she pleases.

"All right," he said, "since you want to be free you shall be, but free you must also remain; that is your punishment. You wish to live like a man; you shall live like one, and for your own protection you must wear men's clothes." On her arrival at Cabul she was given the title of oider, or chief, and was made the harem's messenger.

MET HiS MASTER. j Stabbed to Death by a Suordflsh, Whtcfi Rosea It* Terrible Weapon. Captain Appleton, of the British steamship Benridge, from Rio Janeiro, witnessed an exciting conflict between I a whale and a swordfisli on the voyage j up. Tho whale was plunging along about fifty or sixty yards away from | tho steamer, when suddenly it- leaped j clear out of tho water and fell back ! with a tremendous splash. He saw ! on the other side of tho whale a sharp ! dorsal fin cutting tho water. It was a swordlish, the whale's hereditary en emy. The swordlish did not wait an instant, but plunged straight for the j ■ whale again, and tho latter with . sharp twist, eluded him once more, and tried, without effect, to seize his assailant in his great jaws. | (i Then, for a few minutes, the two ; came to close quarters, and their iden- I tity was lost iu a fierce confusion ol writhing bodies, thrashing tails nud Hying spray. Captain Appleton had the ship slowed down to watch the combat. He says that the fierceness of the fight was indescribable, and the noiso made bv these two young- i sters could have been heard a mile I away. ! The swordlish drew off, aud, wheel- ; ing round, made a dash at the whale, j but the latter leaped clear out of the ! water, trying to fall on the swordfisli and crush him. This mancuvre was repeated a dozen times, and then the Rwordfish again closed with his ad versary, and in the mix-up apparently wounded him, for tho water us it was • thrown up in the struggles was slight- ; Ily tinged with blood. The whale was j far from beaten, however, and con tinued to "fight on as fiercely as ever, and this sort of thing was kept up foi I nearly an 'hour, at the end of which I time tho whale appeared to bo getting : tired. | Suddenly the whale sounded, the < awordfish following him, and for u few minutes nothing was seen of either ol i vhem. Then they reappeared a sliori | distance on tlie other side of tho ves- I sol, tho whale now seeming very weak, j ■ us ho moved slowly in tho water, and j showed several wounds in his side where lie had beell cut by tho sword lish. Twice ho avoided the fierce rush of the latter, but at the third at tempt the swordlish plunged into kin; at full speed, burying his sword al most to his nose in tho whale's side. The latter doubled up like a jackkuife, and with a tremendous licave threw tho swordfisli clear of the water. As he came up those on tho Benbridgi ; saw the sword, which was still buried in the whale's side, snap off like s pieco of kindling wood close to the swordfish's nose. For a moment lit ! darted hither and thither on tho suv. face of tbo water, apparently unable-; to steer himself with tho balance o) his natural appendage removed, and then, plunging beneath tho surface, was seen no more. The whale was evidently done for, writhing anc ' thrashing and spouting blood and ' water until the sea all around him was a mass of ruddy foam. Gradually his struggles became fainter, and al ' length ho lay still on tho water, cvi dently dead or nearly so. A llemnrkuble Iv-porlenre. The fishing schooner Helen G Wells, which left Gloucester for the Great Banks, was turned bottom U} by the seas off Green Bunk, but hm righted again, aud was towed mtc I port without the loss of one of her crew of eighteen men. The wind suddenly increased to a hurricane and a great, white wavi struck the ship on the night of Novem ber 10. The two men on deck, seeing the mountain of water approaching, jumped into cabin to escape it, and, after that nobody has any clear idea ol what happened, but the conditions of the cabins seems to indicate that the vessel turned completely over. The men in their berths were hurled out on the floor, and with stoves, sea ; chests and other furniture were sent in a ln :vp to the starboard side. For three minutes the schooner re- | maincd bottom up, and then she gave another terrible roll and stood on an I even keel once more. When the men scrambled on deck they found the eight dories gone, the main boom in throe pieces, tho patent jibcr and fittings, foresail boom anil gaff, throat halliards and jumbo boom all carried away, both stoves broken and all the provisions beaten up and wutersoaked, while every drop ol water in the tanks had run out, e sure proof that she had turned over.

It is intended to make It the capital of the contemplated new terri tory and locate the land office there. The 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' pincss. 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, lrom a tootharh" to a loeache, that it can't take care of and effect a cure, and ! pains the most violent are conquered by its use. its oftlce as a caretaker is to prevent the spread of aches anc*. pains into a chronic stage.
