The Ne,0 Stamped EnueLopes-The stamp
ed envelopes, which the new postage law re-
qures the Department to place in the hands OF
the Postmasters for sale, will be in readiness in
January. This practice will bea great convent
ence. 1t has been in existence, substantially
for more than half century and the only won-
der is that we have so long been without it in
this country. a.-. I'd g,a T. ...
One important feature in this law, is the fact
that it provides for the carrying of letters oul
Of the mail. Express companies, agents, dri-
vers. conductors, ect, are allowed to carry as
many letters as they choose, provided they are
enclosed in a Government stamped envelope.
The law at the same time authorizes Postmas-
ters and Government officials to search for and
seize all letters carried out of the mail without
the stamped envelope, and subject the carrier
to the penalty Of the law.

1.-THE following is the edict which, for two
centuries, has isolated Japan from the rest of
the world The Dutch only were exempted
from the ban in return for the service they rem
dered the government The following is said
to be the substance of the edict.
"No Japanese ship or boat whatsoever, or any
Japanese born, shal! dare to 60 out of the eoun-
try. All who disobey the order shall be pun
ished with death; the ship, with her cargo, shall
be affected with sequestration. All japanese
who return home from abroad, shall be punish
ed with death. A reward Of five hundred pie
ces Of silver is offered for the discovery Of a
Christian priest, and for Christian layman in
proportion. All persons who spread the Chris
tian doctrines or bear so scandalous name, are
to be imprisoned. Finally, all the portuguese
with their mothers, nurses, and all their proper
ty, shall be transported to Macoa.'

A Man nearly Bled to Death by q Vampire
Bat.-On Wednesday morning last, says the
Panama Echo of the 18th instant, the barkeep
er of the Pavilion Hotel, Taboga, not appearing
at the usual hour Capt. Mckinney, the propri-
etor of the house, proceeded to his room to call
him, when to his astonishment and horror he
found him insensible and bathed in blood af>
ter the usual restoratives were applied, the bar
keeper stated that on the previous evening, af-
ter retiring, he remembered experiencing the
most delightful sensations, as Of tanning, which
soon put him into adeep Sleep and he had 10
consciousness of the attack made upon him un-
til the morning. The only wounds by the bat
were two small spots on each of the great toes

An Open Polar Sca.-It has previously
been announced that Dr. Kane, who is now a
Surgeon in the U. S. Navy, has been assigned
to the Aduance, one of the vessels of the expe-
diton which, through the lberalitv of Henry
GrnneIl, of New York, and Mr. Peabody, Of
London, is to be shortly dispatched in search of
ed by him before the Geographical Society of
New York, advocated the theory of an open
Polar Sea, and cited as facts to sustain the the
ory. among other things that the esturies of
Baffin's and Hudson's Bays and Behring's Strait
indicate the existence of Polar Basin, having
an active supply and discharge, as well as an
internal circulation; the ntercommunication of
whales between the Atlantic and Pacific O.
ceans, as shown by Maury; the increase of
warmth in many places in very high attitudes;
the migration of animals, and the flight of birds
of passage, some Of which incubate in regions
Of unknown northness; the phenomena of the
Polar drift, which indicate that the thaw COM
mences on the northern and not on the south~
ern side. His plan Of search is based upon the
probable extension of the land masses of Green
land to the far north; a view yet to be demon
strated by actual exploration, but sustained by
the analogies Of physical geography. Believ-
ing in such an extension, in endeavoring to
reach the open sea around the North Pole, in
which Sir John Franklin and his party, if exis-
ting at all, are supposed to be, he proposes to
reach by vessels the highest attainable point Of
Bafiin's Bay, as the most eligible site for reach
ing the North Pole. From thence he will push
overland with party of thirty men, provided
with sedges, Esquimaux dogs, couple of
launches or boats, a supply of dried meat pack
ed in cases, and following the tread of the coast
endeavor to reach the open water. "Once there"
launch our little boats, and bidding God speed
u.s. embark upon its waters

Interesting to Newspaper Advertisers and
Publishers.-In a suit in the Supreme Court of
New York, before Judge Oakley, brought by
the proprietors of the Courier and Enquirer
against Henry |. Ibbotson, for $500 for adver-
tsing, the jury rendered a verdict of 1913 80,
the amount claimed with interest. 1t appears
that when the advertisement was taken to the
Courier office there was some msunderstand-
ing respecting the number of insertions. 1t
was, however, put in, loaded and displayed, and
remained so one hundred and fifty days at 81
for each insertion. The defence set up was
chiefly that Mr.. lbbotson's orders in respect to
the advertisement had not been carried out
However. he took the Courier and Enquirer
daily, and, as was presumed by the court, saw
the advertisement in question, and should have
notified the editor to alter or discontinue it.
The court ruled that he should have given this
notice, and not have expected to enjoy the be-
nefit Of the advertisement without paying for it.

TIE Kind n Fruit ItdigeMi5L.-T fact
cannot be TOO strongly impressed upon Tie pub
lie. II applies to ali fruit, without exception.
and includes also The priIjcIe or skin OF kernels
or nuts Of all kinds, The edible part Of the
tiu;t is particularly delicate, and liable TO rapid
decomposition if eApo,cd to the atmospheric;
it is therefore 4 provision Of nature to place I,
strong and imprrv;ous coating over il. rs Il pro-
tectIon against accident, and TO prevent insect
enemies from destroying the seed within. The
skin Of the p!uln tribe is wonderfully strong.
compared with its substance. and r"siss Tue
action OF water and many solvents in a rcmar-
kabIe manner. If not thoroughly masticatcd
before taken into the stomach. the rid Of
plums is rarely, il ever, dissolved by the gas
arjc juice. In some cases pieces Of it adhere
to the coats Of the stomach, the same as wet
paper cjings to the bodies. causing sickness
and other Inconvenience. Dried rusns and
currents are particularly Included in these re
marks, showing The best reasons for placing
the fruit upon the chopping board with the
suet III making pudding of them, for if q
dried current passes into the stomach whole,
it is never digested at all. When horses eat
oats Or beans that have not been through
crushing mill, much of this food is swallowed
whole, and IN this state, being perfectly lndi-
gestibe, the hull or pelice resisting the sol.
vents of the stomach, there is so much loss to
nutrition. Birds being destitute Of teeth, are
provided with an apparatus for grinding their
seed, namely. with the gzzard, through which
the seed passes and is crushed prior to diges-
ton. The peels of apples and pears should
always be cast away. Oranges we need not
mention, as this is always done. Orleans,
green-gages, damsons, and all plums, should
be carefully skinned if eaten raw, and if put
into tarts they should be crushed before cook
ing. Nuts are as indigestibe as we could de-
sire, if the brown skin be not removed or
.blanched, as almonds are generally treated.

Chinese in Cuba-There are now said to
be two thousand Chinese laborers in the Island
of Cuba, and six thousand more are on their
way there. They are exported at 4 cost of
1925 head, and receive S. month for the
eight Or ten years for which they are bound to
their employer, by whom the expense of their
transportation is paid. Those already in the

by the industry and intelligence they display

A Bold Boy anda Coaoard--Two boys were

ing the corner Of the street, the larger of the
two called out,
"a fight a fight let us go and see."
"No," said the other, "let us go home; we
have nothing to do with the quarrel, and may
get into mischief"
"Iou are a coward, and afraid to co. said
the other; and off he ran.
The younger went straight home, and in the
afternoon went to school as usual, when the
boys laughed at him great deal for not gong
to the fight. But he had learned that true cour-
age was shown most in bearing blame when it

few days AFTER these lads were all bathing,
when one Of them got into deep water, and be-
gan to drown. The boys were all afraid to go

they could. The lad would very soon have
been lost, had not the boy who would not 60
to fight, and who had been laughed at BY them

threw off his clothes, and springing into the
water, just reached the sinking boy in time, and
by great effort brought him to shore. The
other boys were now all much ashamed, and
confessed he had more courage than any Of them
