Tfce Matnitaaturlna; Proeeaa Fran the Ensravlnac ot the Steel Die ta the Ftaiahed ammed, Presad ul Perforated Printed Sheet. The first mechanical process In the manufacture of a postage stamp Is the cutting, or engraving, of the die. This la a piece of steel of the finest quality, n the polished surface of which a man lowly and patiently cuts, line by line, the portrait or other emblem which has been adopted for this particular stamp. A steel engraving Is what la called an Incised plate that la, every line which la to show In the finished print la cut Into the surface Instead of being left In relief, as In wood engrav ing. The die which the engraver cuts la a "negative;" In other words, a reversal of the design which the stamp will show. The reason for this soon be comes apparent :. When the die la finished and proofs show It to be satisfactory It Is hard ened aad fixed In the-bed of a powerful press. Over It Is then passed a steel roller, the circumference of which Is several times, perhaps four times, the diameter of the die. Immense pressure is applied, so that every line on the surface of the die la Impressed upon the surface of the roller as many times as the circumference of the roller Is larger than the area of the die. In this way four perfect copies of the die are reproduced on the roller, but reversed. Bach of these Impressions Is a "posi tive." This roller Is now hardened In turn In order that It may transmit the Im pressions once more, this time to the plate from which the actual printing Is to be made. This plate is also of steel. The size Is sufficient to print a whole sheet of stamps rom 200 to 800 at a single Impression. r Into the surface of this plate the lm presslon on the roller Is forced by great pressure, once for each stamp in the subsequent sheet, and then the plate Is hardened. These Impressions are negatives., so that the prints from them the stamps themselves will be posi tives. The reason for all this preliminary work Is most Interesting. In the first place, printing could not be done from a single die because of the vast quan tities of stamps required. In the sec ond place, it could not be done from the roller, because on that the lines are In relief Instead of being incised, and in the third place. It would not be feasible to have several dies, or a large number of them engraved, both be cause the expense would be prohibi tive and" because no two would then be absolutely alike. The present system makes it certain that every stamp of a certain lot Is exactly like every oth er of the same lot a great safeguard against counterfeiting. h When three printing plates have been made they are all fastened to the bed of a special printing press. When the machinery Is started the first piate is Inked, then automatically wiped until It Is like a mirror. The wiping removes all the Ink except what clings In the lines of the 200 duplicate engravings which dot the surface. Over the plate Is laid a sheet of dampened paper, the plate Is slightly warmed to order to permit the Ink to swell, and heavy pressure Is applied. Meanwhile the second plate la receiv ing Its Ink, and then the third comes Into play, so that, although all three are -the,, same press, each Is at a glvea moment undergoing a different khimm from either of the other two. This has wrought a great saving of time over the old process ot printing by hsnd. When the printed sheets are dry they go to the gumming machine, In which they pass between a dry roller on one side snd one molsWned with mucilage on the other. From these rollers they are cast out, wet aide up, ejKWum endlesa web, which carries them through s steant heated box. They come out dry. ready for the perforations, which permit them to be torn apart easily. These are very eaal- It made by passing me anevw one cylinder studded with steel ptos and another perforated with boles to match the pins. The two together set like the Jaws of a conductor's punch. The last process Is pressing the sheets by hydraulic power to counteract me tendency to cnrL which Is Imparted by the mucilage. . j The printing of stomps, like the print leg 0f gold and silver, certificates snd bank notes, Is subjeot to the most care ful and eoaatant Inspection. Every sheet of paper Is counted be fore It la delivered to the printer and before he foes borne at night hemost return exactly the same njamber eC beets, either of perfect stamps or pott pap, snd no Mmples are given away to Wton Edward WllUstoo Fronts In Tooths Companion.

The waters of the Thames, which are but condensed fog, were in visible from the parapet, and the steam ferries were picking their way cau tiously and looking very like marine monsters In a muddy aquarium. We crawled through thetunnel for foot traffic under the Thames, which was like a hole In the fog, and for hours carried the sky about on our shoulders. It was a woolly, greasy and 111 smelling sky. Our nostrils were clogged with cinders, like chimney flues, and there were smudges all over our faces. Sometimes for a moment or two we saw a spot overhead that was like a pale red wafer, and we knew It for the sun, now lost to us. The lamps that burned all day were like glow worms for dimness, and so we explor ed the .wonders of the town and saw as much of It as a blind man sees, but no more.

When spring's work Is first begun the Shoulders of the berses are very apt to be sore, and when a horse has sore shoulders bis usefulness is Impaired in proportion to the severity of the injury. The man who neglects to take the prop er precautions Is simply Inviting a monetary loss Just as surely as if he threw paper money Into the fire. The first thing to be gained Is that the collars' shall be of good substantial make and that they shall fit aright If the collar pinches it will gall the flesh snd skin wherever it nips. If It Is too loose the draft wilt come on the wrong place, some place not designed to ao cept the pressure, and sores will soon make their appearance. If the collar does not fit at the top that la. If It l too tight or so wide that It wabbles the horse will be subject to much suf fering. We doubt If It pays to use sweat pads, though we all know that their use la almost universal. If a none loses flesh very grestly It Is wsll enough then to All out his collar, so to peak, with the pads, but If a good fit ting leather collar Is kept clean and smooth there Is no reason why It should be cumbered with pads. The collar should st sll times be kept smooth and hard on the side which touches the neck. If scurf and sweat and dirt are allowed to collect on the bearing sur face it will surely gall the neck It Is often well to wash the neck thor oughly on coming heme at night m strong brine. Some good farmers omit the brine altogether, using water, not or cold, the Idea being to get the necks quite clean and free from foreign mat tor of all sorts. One old and soocess ful farmer who seldom bad a sore necked horse made s practice of anoint ing the necks of his horses with a strong decoction of white oak bark during the cropping season snd for about twa weeks before the horses were put Into heavy work. He said that toughened the skin, and results certainly bore out his statementsv Breeder's Gasette. Cave Sha Pewatairee. Sheep sre especially pastoral ani mals and close croppers.

During the tulip cnir.c lu Holland in the Inst century In one your tho galea uggregiitcd KMAWXtO florins. Hal land wend tulip mud. The bulbs were quot ed on the Stock Exchange. Ownership In them, was divided Into shares. Spec ulntors sold tlieni short. At ono tlmo more tulips were sold than existed. At LUlo n brewer sold bis trnde nnd good will In uxuhuuKo for a bulb, which wns thereafter known us the brewery tulip. In Amstnrduni a father gave one by way of dower with bis child. There after the variety wus known a tho UHirrtnge-of-my-diiUKtiter. At Itotter dmn a hungry sailor, happening on a few, mUtook ttiem for onions and ate them. The repnst itecome as fa mous as Cleopatra's pc.t-ls anil prob ably exceeded It In cost. At Tbe Hague a poor fellow managed to raise a black tulip. The rumor of that vegetable marvel spread. Presently he was visit ed by a deputation from a syndicate. For that ewe lamb of his tho deputa tion offered 1,000 florins, which he re fused. He was offered 10,000 florins. Still be refused. Cascades of gold were poured before bis resisting eyes. Finally, tormented anil tempted, be succumbed. There and then the depu tation trampled that tulip under tholr feet. Afterwanl It appeared that tho syndicate hud already grown a gem precisely similar anil, unable to bear the Idea that a rival existed, bad au thorized the deputation, If needful, to offer ten times the amount which it paid. TWO CLASSES OF OAKS. One Sotoblo For Ita Wm4, tbe Other For Ita Brillloner of Colorlac. Tbe great oak family might be divid ed Into two classes those that ripen their acorns In one season, such as the white, post and mossy cup oaks, and those which require two full years, such as the red, scarltt and black oaks. To the first class belong the chestnut oabrand.the live oak of tbe south. This latter tree for generations played an Important part In shipbuilding, but has now been superseded by Iron and steel. The leaf, which is an evergreen, is en tirely without Indentations and Is thick and leathery. Tito wood is very heavy and strong, bas s beautiful grain and Is susceptible of taking a high, polish. At one time this wood was so valuable thdt our government paid $200,000 for large tracts of land in the south, that our navy might be sure of s supply of live oak timber. To tbe accoud class of oaks we are largely Indebted for tbe gorgeous col ors of our antumn leaves. The red, scarlet and pin oaks, with their bril liant reds, scarlets and browns, are clone competitors with the maple In giving our American landscapes tbe most wonderful eiitumn colorings to be found sny where In the world. These three trees, have leave which at first glance afeVulte similar, but by care ful examination may always be dis tinguished. St Nicholas. niaeaaoa of Aolaaala.
