The offertory sounded from the organ in the loft; * The melody was pleading and the strains were sweet and soft; The deacons took the basket and went slowly down the aisle. Each moving on his tiptoes with a bland; congenial smile. A man took out his money and re flected: "Let me see; If this goes to the heathen it must from all taint be free." He took a twenty dollar bill and smoothed it in his palm— (The deacon at his elbow was ex pectant, grave and calm) The man mused: "Should I give it when for all that I may know This bill has been the factor in a grevious lot of woe ? Perchance it has been bartered for the stuff that men imbibe Or possibly has tempted some weak soul has been a bribe. "No, no; I cannot give it." So he folded it again. And stuck it in his pocket, then opened up a ten, (The deacon pushed the basket somewhat closer to his face) "Ah," mournfully he murmured, "this as well, may be too base This, perhaps, has been a portion of the profits of a trust; I should love to help the heathen, but my conscience says, ' Be just. So he tucked it in his pocket and took up a crinkly five, (.Still the offertory murmured like the bees within a hive, And the deacon, patient, waited at the entrance to the pew), "No," the man said sadly, "this one I'*i afraid will never do. Greed or gambling may have mark ed it; it may be the fruit of theft And the same prevents my giving any greenbacks I have left." Then he-looked at a half dollar, at a quarter, at a dime— (And the offertory merged into ca denas all sublime, While the deacon stood and won dered with the basket in his hand), "I should like," the man reflected, "to reclaim the heathen land But this chicken feed is doubtful."

A lively-looking porter stood on the rear platform of a sleeping-car in the Pennsylvania station, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer, when a~tussy' and choleric old man clam bered up the steps. He stopped at the door for a moment then turn ed to the voung man in uniform. "Porter," lie said, "I'm going to St. Louis, to the fair. I want to be well taken care of. I pay for it. Do you understand ?'' "Yes, sir, but—" "Nevermind any 'buts.' You listen to what I say/' Keep the tiain boys away from me. Dust me off whenever. I want you to. Give me an extra blanket, and if there is any one in the berth over me, silde him into another. I want you to—' * "But. say, boss—" "Young man when I'm giving iastructions I prefer to do the talk ing myself. You do as I say. Here is a two-dollar bill. I want to get the good of it. Not a word, sir." The train was starting. The porter pocketed the bill with a grin and swung h mself to'the ground. "AH right, boss !" he shouted. "You can do the talking if you waut to. I'm powerful sorry you wouldn't let me tell vou—but I ain't going out or. that train."—-Ex. A BaiSciri Some day you will get a bad scare, when von feci a pain in vour bowels, and fear appendicitis.

Gillilan in Baltimore American.) For me ? All right, as soon as I get this chrysanthemum pinned on. Tel) the party to hold the wire. That is, unless it's a live wire. I'll be there in a minute. | What's that? Stand a little closer to the 'phone. Ouch ! Don't yell that way ! . I'm not deaf. Who want's me. t St. Petersburg ? Well, why • don't you contact us up. I've got 1 something else— Hello ! This St. Petersburg ? ■ Who wants to talk to m ! The czar ? What ? The star ? Well, then, what did. you say? Spell it. P.d.a.r? Now, what on earth can that spell O, yes. You said c-z, not p-d. Now I under stand. It's the czar. Well tell him to hurry up. Yes, this is the Mikado. Fine ! How is yourself ? What fight ? Hadn't heard of ■any O, that little ruction over in the Korean Straits ? That was target practice. Didn't call that a fight. For a fight, you know, two armies or navies are needed. In this case ours was the only one. Now that you mention it, I believe I did hear Togo say he'd shoved some of your boats around there and sunk a few dozen of them. Also he's been running in here with a fresh sup ply of Russian admirals eveiy tew minutes till I jiositively had to scold him for liotheritig me with them. Central ! Don't butt in ! You're cracking my There— hello ! No, of course it wasn't nice for him to do, but surely yon know this wasn't any lawn fete, Nick, when vou started in to get sassy about Manchuria, didn't you ? ll you haven't anything more intei esting than that to say, I'll hang up the receiver and go help Togo sorFolft the officers ftom the crews of your captured vessels. Now, that'sbettej". You'retalk ing sense now. To be sure I'm ready to consider terms of peace. I always have been. What have you to— What ! Divide Manchuria? Goodby. I have a lot of import— Yes ! I thought you'd get down off of your elevated steed and offer something more reasonable. Yes, yes, yes—l knew—shut up ! Wait till I say what I war, trying to say when you butted in. I say that it isn't fair for you to try to bm t up this war just when we're be ginning to get warmed up to the work and show the world what we can do. To get us to etop it would require considerable inducement. Japanese stock has been bulled tremendously by this little displa> of strength and skill, and if you want the show stopped you'll have to make some overtures worili while. *Now that's the word with the peeling on. O, well, who asked you to cali ■ueup? You started this conver sation, and if it doesn't sashay along to suit you. you know how to stop it. Just as I said. This war is like a first mortgage on real estate for ns. It's a paying invest ment, and if you want it canceled before it has rin its time, you've got to pay something for the priv ilege. Goodby what ? Wait till 1 get a pencil and pad. That sounds like you were begin ning to drop the bluff and talk business. Wait! Now, repeat it slowly while I jot it down:: "All of Manchuria to be"—not so fast—' 'left with"us to do as we"—what's that ? .This is not the swearing phone. Better make just plain "please," without adverb. All right now. Go ahead: ( SSOO million roubles indemuitski" 1 —here ! Don't ring in any of that Slav orthography on me ! "Pen sions for all wfdows of soldiers and , sailors"—slow up there a bit. Now:l "Promise"—cut that out. No promises go. '' Pledge in writing'' I —that's better—•"to keep out of Korea and any place else Japan may designate." Gc, old man, you must have had a scare thrown into you ! Come on with your terms. Hurry up. Here comes Togo with another drayload of admirals, including Rojestvensky, who is trying hard to prove to Togo that he is in Vladivostok. Probably that wound in his head is queering his sense of location. But unless Roje etc., is twins, we've got liioi here. I say, Nick, yon just put that in writing, or ca jle it, and I'll see what 1 can do with the boys It's just possible I may be able to call them off within a year or two, if you make the terms strung euough. Can't bother any more with you now. Too busy with the war. Dai Nippon baugai ! Good-by A Little Orang-Utan. The Zoological Gardens of New York }>ossess a little orangtan which has safely weathered its jouraey froiu the East Indies. The orang utan was at oue time considered to be the most ferocious and terrify ing of forest beasts. He was repu ted to have the characteristics ot the thug and the garroter. It was said that he would carry off women and children and throttle people with his hind feet as they j»ass un der the trees; in fact, when first heard of the oiang-utan was the most terrifying liogie of his day. Subsequent observation of the ani mal showed that nearly all these beliefs were false. The full grown orang-utan is very strong, but seems to 1* capa ble of being easily tamed;certainly young specimens show little ten dency to ferocity. They can be effectually turned as shown here and made to sit at table, use a bowl and water, eat and drink out til cups, and generally behave them selves iti such a, way that shows their disposition is very far from the ferocious picture which was once current inEurope. If the orangutan has to be taught how to eat lie does not have to be taught one tiling which approxi mates to a u.ioil 01 civiii/.ed mail; he knows how to make his own lied. When he wishes to retire for the night, if lie has not already supplied himself with a couch lit proceeds to manufacture oue oi branches which he sna|>s from the surrounding Iwughs and places a mass in a suitable fork in the tree. There is, however, no regularity in the construction of the nest. The oraug titan goes ou snapping off jieices of branch in a preoccupied manner as if he had done it verv often before, and after he has col lected a fair number standson tliein 111 order to press them firmly to gether. When he has got a suffi cient number of Umghs very effect ually screened from below. The wild man of the woods as the Malay words, orang-utan, sig nify, is very difficult to capture. He gives conside able trouble to the large number of hunters who are anxious to acquire |x»ssvsioii of him in order that he may Ik* ship |ied to one or other of the zoologi cal gardens of Euro|>e or America —Exchnge. I was discussing recently with au Englishman, who was noted foi the velocity with which his mind would work on occasions, the dif ferent phases of life in England, and I incidentally asked him what chance there was for a young, pro gressive A int ric-ttr in England— what he could do to make a living, etc. After pondering deeply over the question for several minutes, the Englishman replied in all seri ousness. "He could emigrate, by gad, don't you know." No Secret Abut It It is no secret, that for Cuts, Burns, Ulcers, Fever Sores, Sore eves. Boils, etc.. nothing is so eff ective as Buck lens Arnica Salve i "It didn't take long to cure a bad sore I had, and it is all O. K. for sor eeyes," writes D. L. Greg ory of Hope, Tex. 25c. at S. R. Biggs drug store. THE POSTAGE STAMP. How it is Made by Uncle Sam's Expert Workman. r The first mechanical process in the manufacture of a postage stimn is the cutting, or engraving, of the die. This is a piece of steel of the finest quality, 011 the polished sur face of which a man slowly ami pai'cutly cuts, line by line, the portrait or other emblem which has been adopted for this particular stamp. A steel engraving is what is called an inHsed plate—tliat is, every line which is to show in the finished print is cut into the sur face instead of lieing left in relief, is 111 W 1 tod engraving. The die whicli the engraver cuts is a "negative," in other words, a reversal of the design which the I stamp will show. The reason lor this soon becomes apparent. When the die is finished and proofs show it to be satisfactory it is hardened and fixed in the bed of a powerful press. Over it is then passed a steel roler, the circumfer ence of which is several times, per haps four times, the diameter ol the die. Immense pressure is ap plied, so that every line 011 the surface ot the , die is 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 wav four perfeci copies of the die are reproduced 011 the roller, but reversed. Each of these impressions is a "positive." This roller is now hardened in turn in ortler that it may transmit the impressions once more, this time to the plate from which the actual printing is to be made. This plate is also of steel. The si/.e is sufficient to print a whole sheet of stamps -from 200 to 302 —at a single impression. Into the surface of this plate the impression 011 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 jthem-—the stamps themselves —will lie positives. The reason for all this prelimi nary work is most interesting. In the first place, printing could not lie flone from a single die because of the vast (inanities of stamps re quired. Iu the second place, it because 011 that the lines are in re lief instead of being incised, and in the third place, it would not be feasable to have several dies or a large number of them engraved, both because the cxiiense would be prohibitive and because 110 two would then be absolutely alike. The present system makes it certain that every stamp of a certain lot is exactly like every other of the same lot—a great game against counterfeiting. 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 plate is inked, then automati cally 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 piece of dampened pai>er, the plate is slight ly warmed in order to |>erniit the ink to swell, and heavy pressure is applied. Meanwhile the second plate is receiving Its ink, and then the third comes into play, so that, although all three are on the same press, each is at a given moment undergoing a different process from either ol the other two. This has wrought a great saving of time over the old process of printing by hand. When the printed sheets are dry they go to the gumming machine; in which they pass be tween a dry roller on one side and one moistened with mucilage on the other. From these rollers they are cast out, wet side uo, upon an eudless web, which carries them through a steam heated box. They come out dry, ready for the perforations, which permit them to be torn apart easily?* These arc very easily made by passing i the sheets lietween • one cylinder studded with steel pins and another perforated with holes to match the pins. The two together act like th ' jaws of a conductor's punch. The last process is pressing the the sheets by hydraulic power to counteract the tendency to curl, which is imparted by tii_■ mucilage. The printing of stampt, like the printing of gold and silver certifi cates and hank note;, is subject to the most careful aud constant in spection. Kverv sheet of paper is counted before it is del vered to the pi inter, and befoie he goes home at night he must return exactly the same number of sheets, either of .perfect stamps or spoiled p.i;>er, anil no "seconds" or sa.nples are given away to visitors.—Kdward Willis ton Krent/. in Youth's Companion. A Difference. "I think that a christian can go anywehre," said a young woman who was defending her continued attendance at some doubtful places o! amusement.• Certainly she can," rejoined her friend, "but 1 am re minded of a little that happened last summer when 1 went with a party of friends to explore a coal mine. One of the young women appeared dressed in a dainty white gown. When her friends remon strated with her, she appealed to the old miner who was to act as guide to the party. "Can't 1 wear a white dress down int i the mine?" she asked petu lantly. " Yes'tn,'' returned the old man. V There's nothin to keep you from wearin' a while frock down here, but there 11 be considerable to keep you from wearin' one back. There is nothing to prevent the Christian from wearing his white garments when he seeks the fel lowship of that which is unclean, Hut there is a good deal to prevent him from wearing white garments afterwards.—The Soul Winner. The Indian Telephone. A writer in a Chicago daily tells us of a variety of long distance tele phones which the Indians employed when on the warpath. 1 here was a way of sending up the smoke in rings and puffs," arid the Indian knew tnat such a column would at once be noticed and un dcrsfood as a signal, and not the rinioke from some ordinary camp lire. The rings were made by cover ing the tire with a blanket for a moment then suddenly removing the blanket and allowing the smoke to ascend, when the (lie was in stantly covered up again. The column of ascending smoke rinys said to every Indian within a circle of twenty or thirty miles, "Look out, there's danger ahead." Three smokes built close together means danger. One smoke simply said, "Attention!' 1 Two meant, '•Camp at this piace. To one who traveled upon the plains the usefulness of this long distance telephones becomes iit once apparent. Sometimes ut night the traveller Saw fiery lints crossing the sky, shooting up and tailing, perhaps taking a direction diaginal to the line of vision. If lie was an old-timer he might interp.et the signals, and know that one fire arrow—an arrow pre pared by feating the head of the shaft with gunpowder and tine bark meant the same as the column of smoke putfs, namely, "An enemy is near." Two fire arrows meant, '•Danger.'' Three arrows said, •The danger is great.'' Several arrows said the enemy are too many fur us. Huge Task It was a huge task, to under take the cure of such a bad case of kidney disease, as that of C. F. Collier, of Cherokee, la., but Elec tric bitters did it. He writes: "My kidneys were so far gone, I could could not sit on a chair without a cushion; and suffered from dread ful backache, headache, and de pression. In Klectric Bitters, how ever, I found a cure, and by them was restored to perfect health. I recommend this great tonic med icine to all with wettk kidneys, liv er or stomach, Guaranteed by S. R.
