the head by a falling piece of water oii*e
Friday and perh ips fatally injured. The
water tank erected in th<* rear of th* mayor's
residence had becomo unsafe, and workmen
began to demolish it for the purpose of erect
ing anew one. The tower is about forty feet
in bight In some unaccountable way a
piece of iron piping about two feet long was
thrown, or fell, from the top of the tower. It
descended straight downward and struck
the little fellow who was playing
near, directly on the summit of
the head. inflicting a frightful
wound The skull was badly fractured and
shattered, and a depression fully one inch in
diameter was made in his head The boy
was picked up and carried into the house, and
several physicians spent the afternoon en
deavortng to relieve him as much as posstblo.
The wound is a very dangerous one and it is
a miracle that he was not instantly killed.
The result of th*- accident cannot vet be told
hut the chances for his recovery are thought
to be very slight.
There is a movement on foot by citizens of

POSTAGE STAMPS.
The Government Will Hereafter Print
Them Itself—How a Die Is Made.
From the Chicago Record.
On July 1 the government of the United
States will commence printing its own
postage stamps at the bureau of engrav
ing and printing. Up to this time they
have been furnished by private companies
under contract, tho National Bank-Note
Company of New York having done tho
work for many years. Last spring, when
it came time to let the contract again, the
bureau of engraving and printing put in a
bid which was less than one-half that of
any other bidder. There was consider
able opposition to having the work done
by the government, and the other bidders
made a great fuss about it be
cause, as the.\ claimed, it was un
fair for Uncle Sam to compete with
then), because he had no interest or
rent to pay and expected no profit. The
question was finally carried to congress,
when the plan of the Secretary of the
Treasury and th* Postmaster General
was sustained. The printing, gumming
and perforating machines are already in
place at the printing bureau, and now
plates are being made from the old dies,
so that the work will commence promptly
July 1. There will bo pew designs adopted
soon, but for the present the old ones will
be used for the common stamp the 2 cent
stamp with the head of Washington
1 printed in carmine ink and the l-cent,
which bears the head of Franklin and is
printed in ultramarine blue. In order to
j distinguish those printed by the govern
• meet a little ornament will be placed in
tho blank space in the upper corners,
i This is a fact of interest to collectors.
1 There is quite a quantity of the old
stamps on hand, and the new ones will
not be issued until they are needed, al
though it is necessary to keep a largo
stock in the distributing offices, ns about
7,iHM),(Kk) 2 cent stamps are used daily
and about H,500,000 of tho l-cent denom
ination. Postage stamps are printed by
engraved cylinders in sheets of 4(R. A
die is first cut in a block of steel about
three inches square, like and iutaglio.
; The steel is then hardened by what is
known as the decarbonizing process
that is, all of the carbon is burned out of
; the metal b.v subjecting it to intense
heat, and then tho impression is
transferred to a roll or cylinder of soft
! stoel, like a cameo. From this working
plates or rolls arc made, which aro
afterward hardened by the same process.
This method was invented by a Vermont
.Yankee, named Perkins, about half a cen
tury ago. He took the invention to Lon
don and tried to sell it to the British
government, but the officials over there
were opposed to innovation as usual, and
Mr. Perkins brought it back home and
sold the patent to his own government.
The stamp collectors have cornered the
#1 stamps of Columbia issue, and uncan
celed ones are now worth £lO.

Chicago, June 30. A few* belated ‘ longs”
and ' shor;*" in July wheat kept the trade
going in a desultory way during the day s half
session The longs, -eeing no immediate
prospect for a fruttionof their hopes of an ad
vance. were buying as far in the future as
possible, after disposing of their Jury, De
cern: er being th • preferred ontion. shorts
were not so particular, ar.d as things
have lieen coming their way with
so much regularity. put out the
equivalent of what they bought for July in
September. December, for the same reason
mentioned, presented more strength than the
nearby deliveries. There was no outside busi
ness to speak of. The general tone was easy.
September wheat opened 59i 4 c, ranged from
60V'T60*40 to 59*c, closed at 594 c. a net
loss of ' s c from yesterday. December closed
at \c under yesterday. The strike acted on
corn quite differently from the way it affected
wheat. So much has been taken from the
store of late ar.d the opportunities for further
shipments by lake, taken with tie
prospective light arrivals from the boycott,
produced a feeling of firmness to prices. Sep
'.emter corn .opened at 41 * 4 c. sold between
that anl 4D*c, closing a shade better than
yesterday at 41vTr 41 y,c. Cash corn was

A TREE WITH A TEMPER.
It Grows in Arizona Along With An
other That Gives Light.
From the New York Sun.
‘■There are more queer thing’s to the
acre in Arizona than in any other part of
this wide land,” said Col. Brace Dion, of
Houck's Tank, Apache county, "and, ac
cording to my idea, and I know pretty
near what queer things are, the queerest
thing in all Arizona is the tree that has a
temper worse than a blonde comic opera
prima donna's, and gets its dander up
with just as small provocation. They
tell mo out there that this tree belongs
to the coniferous species. It grows
to be something like twenty-five
feet high and then stops, its leaves are
long, sleuder and pointed, like porcupine
quills. When this troe is in good humor
these leaves lie close to the branches, and
it spreads a pleasant aromatic odor all
around. But when it is angry every leaf
on the tree rises upon end, and the aspect
of that particular piece of timber is about
as fierce and threatening as anything you
would care to look at. The pleasant
resinous odor the tree sent forth in its
peaceful mood gives way to an odor that
will put wings on you feet to place as
much distance as you cau between the
offensive troe and yourself.
"This tree is especially touchy on the
subject of dogs, and the coming of a ca
nine anywhere near it will instantly make
it furious. Yet a wolf, a grizzly bear, or
a mountain lion never ruffles the temper
of this tree if those animals do not pre
sumo on too great familiarity with it.
They may lie around it as long as they
care to. but if one of them so far forgets
itself as to rub or scratch the trunk of
the tree, the hot-tempered thing will fly
into one of its tantrums instantly, and th
way Mr. Bear, Wolf or Lion will mak
himself scarce in those parts is a whol
circus to see. Nothing will work thi
tree up to concert pitch, though, so
quickly and effectually as throwing stones
at it. Then if #ill actually rip and tear,
and no living thing would think of going
within gunshot of it. Some folks out at
Houck's Tank call this tree tho porcu
pine tree, and some say its right namo is
skunk tree. 1 call it tho holy terror tree.
But no matter what you call it, it is a
queer job of nature and Arizona claims it
as her own.
"While this tree is the only real, gen
uine Gov. Waite sort of a vegetable king
dom crank we’ve got in Arizona, we point
with some more pride to another tree
that only Arizona soil has the talent to
produce. This one is the electric light
tree. This tree is not as abundant as tho
holy terror tree, and is a dwarf, seldom
having the courage to get more than
twelve feet high. Its foliage is very
dense, and at night it gleams like an are
light. The light that shines from this
tree is so strong that one may sit twenty
five feet away aud read fine print The
queerest point of the tree is that its
light begins to grow dim with the
coming of the new moon and steadily
loses brilliancy until the moon is full.
Then the tree is as dark as a mine. When
the moon begins to wane the tree's lumi
nosity is renewed, and by the time the
moon his disappeared the tree is shining
again as brightly as over. Sometimes the
light on this queer tree becomes faint
even in the dark of the moon. Then we
have to do a queer thing to restore it_
We drench it with a bucketful or two of
water, and instantly the effulgent glow
will return in all its brilliancy." „
A Boston clergyman said In his sermon on
Sunday last Summer tllrtallon Is a viper,
ihe discourse of the reverend doctor Is said
to have been a rattler.—Utica Observer.
