In 'printing, steel plates are used, on
ithiell two hundred stamps are en
graved. Two men are kept hard at
work covering them with the colored
inks and passing them to a man and
girl, who are equally busy at printing
them with large rolling hand presses.
Three of those little squads are employ
ed all the time, although ten presses can
be put into use in case of necessity. Af
ter the small sheets of paper upon which
tne two hundred stamps are engraved
have dried sufficiently they are sent into
another room and gummed. The gum
used tor thig purpose is a peculiar corn
positign, made of the powder ot dried
potatoes and hther vegetables mixed
with water, which is better than any
other kind, tor instance, gum arabic,
which cracks the paper badly. This pa
per is also a a peculiar texture, some
what similar to that used for bank notes
After having been again firied, this
time on little racks, which are fanned by
steam power tor about an hour, they
are put between sheets of pasteboard
and pressed in hydraulic presses, capa
ble of applying a weight of two thousand
tons. Tbe next thing is to cut the sheet
in halt; each sheet of course, when cut,
contains a hundred stamps. This is
done by a girl with a large pair of shears,
cutting by hand being preferred to that
of machinery, which method wonid de
troy too many stamps. Next, they are
pressed once more, and then packed and
tabled, and stowed away in another
room, preparatory to being put in mail
bags for dispatching to fulfill orders. If
a single stamp is torn, or in anyway mu
Mated, the whole sheet is burned.
About 500,000 are burned every week
from this cause. For the past twenty
years not a gingle sheet has been lost,
suck care has been taken in oonnting
them. During the procesi of Manufac
turing the sheets are ,counted eleven

About a month ago a foreign yacht an

There was a siók man aboard who had
been cruising round the water world
three years in search of health. He was
a young man and a very wealthy one,
and took ivith him his aunt and a doctor
for companions. , For two jeers he had
been ocudding away from the winters '
and summers of Europe by cruising first
in the Mediterranean and then on the
coast of Norway, but without permanent '
benefit. He then hurried Remits the At

There is a widespread demand for BOUM
religious introduction of infants into the

The layiug on of hands by the sister

tist churches iu this country. The ..wo
men leave their 'pews before the Com
mencethent of the sermon, go into the.
pulpit, and place their hands for a mo
ment en the bead ol the preacher. Where
the ceremony originated nobody seems
to know. It was recently practiced in
the Warren avenue Church, Boston, of
which Rev. C. F. Pentecost is pastor.
Two other Boston clergyinen of the same
denomination remonstrated with Mr.
Pentecost, and were told by him to mind

medicine. .Twenty-one conferences have

favor of the measure and 901 avinst it.
Some of the minister!) vote against the
prohibition not because they favor intemperance,-but
because they deem it an
interierence with their independence and
an insult to their Christian manhood
implying that they are so given to the
use Of intoxicants that. they must be re

.160 years ago there were but 7 minis

WAPAKONETA, o;--Ir your mind
grasp all at once the abcvve name, do as
the natives do; abreviate it and call it , ,
"Wahpuck" and you'll have it. It is a
town of near 8,000 inhabitants, on the
line of the D.& M. railroad, just 119 mile , , '
from Cincinnati, in the line agricultural
eciunty of Anglaise, in the Maumee Val

&Knapp, in his history of the Man

name the town bears. De eels: "Early ,

"Wahpuck" has two excellent hotels,

HAMILTONNeW Year's was observed

from the , number of New Year cards
found in the possession of those young
ladies who "kept open house', or reoeiv.

Indeed,' we wen; in no wise "prejm.

But she possesses that innate dignitÿ and
Indy-like demeanor which is a churning :
caaracteristic of tbe Campbell Mandy,
and which can not be attained by "doh
