Postal Statistics.

The following is an interesting sketch
Of the increase of our postal system
In 1890 the number of post offices in
the United States was 75, the length OF
post-roads, in miles, was 1875; the pos
tai revenues amounted to s37 $3.50, and
the expenditures to s32,140. That was
the day of small things in our postal
system.
In 1900 the post-oflices had risen to
903 in number, and the length of post
roads to 20,S17 miles. The revenues
were S2S0,S04, and the expenditures
1921, ,904. This shows remarkable in
crease in ten years.
In 1910 the number of post. offices was
2,300, the length of post-roads was &c.
070 miles, the postal revenues were
S55l 1884, and the expenditures were
S495, ,969.
In 1920 the number of post-offices was
1900, the length of post-roads was 72,-
492 miles, the postal revenues were ST.

In 1880 the number Of post-offices was
$3.50, the length Of post-roads was 49,
176 miles, the postal revenues were ST.
$4,000, and the expenditures were ST.
959, ,1O9.
In 1910 the number of post offices was

739 miles, the postal revenues were s4,-

S4,718,325.64.
In 1850 the number of post-offices
was 1S,417, the length of post-roads was
1852 miles, the postal revenues were
So, ,499, ,9S6, ,S6, and the expenditures we're
So, ,212953.43.
In 1860 the number of post-offices was
2S,49S, the length of post-roads was
240,594 miles, and the postal revenues
were IS, ,218, ,067 40, and the expenditures
were $14,874,772.S9.
In 1870 the number of post-offices was
2S,492, the length of post roads was
23l ,232 miles, and the postal revenues
were S19,772,22065, and the expendi-
lures were s23, 1898, ,S3763l

256,210 miles, the postal revenues were
S22,996, ,741.57, and the expenditures
were s29, ,0S4, ,945.67.
These figures give the progress by de-
cades of the postal system of the United
States since 100, covering period of
SO years.

A Singular Experience.

We find the following in the Dover.
n. H., Enquirer: Some eight years ago
lad OF thirteen, son of Charlss Z.
Meyers, well known citizen of Ports
mouth, while fishing from one Of the
wharves of that city caught fish hook
in the fore finger of the right hand, near
the roots of the nail, drawing it into the
bend Of the hook. His father saw at
once that the only thing to be done was
to open the finger on line with the
hook and take it out, but preferred to
call in their family physician to do it.
Alter looking at it for moment, the
Doctor, by sudden twist, wrenched the
hook from the finger, minus the barb
and point The parents were Justly in.
dignant at such rough treatment, and
insisted that the hook was not all re.
moved, while the boy came near fainting
from extreme anguish. The Doctor,
however, insisted that no inconvenience
would result, and dressed the finger in
some simple and safe manner and in due
time the wound healed. But the finger
and arm troubled him for long time.
After year or two the lads health
had so far failed as to become subject
OF serious alarm to his friends, he being
subject to frequent and alarming fainting
hts, and other spasmodic affections or
symptoms. This state of affairs contin-
ued for years, with more intensity until
year or two ago, when the boys health
became nearly or quite restored. In the
Spring of 1874 the young man, while
dressing himself one morning tore pim-
pie from his left shoulder, and on exam
lining it. he drew from the flesh the point
of the hook which seven years before
was imbedded in finger on the opposite
side of his body.

Does Cooking IDjure the Heal tn of
Stock?

The world will never get rid of its
old fogies those who want to be natur-
al, but have eneverstudied nature. When
fodder shall be cooked so as to be softer
or more succulent than grass, which ma.
ture has furnished for the animal, then
it will do to inquire whether nature is
not violated in cooking food for cattle.
Nature furnishes grass, not dried fodder.
The dried fodder is mans work of pre-
serving food while grass does not grow,
and if he cooks this soft and succulent
in imitation of grass, does he run a tilt
with nature or is he initiating her?
A farmer always looks forward to the
new growth of grass in the Spring as
affording an opportunity for his cattle to
improve in condition and health, and
when he cooks thoroughly his winter
food, his cattle are simply kept upon
grass the year round. We have kept
the same cows upon cooked food for fif-
teen winters, and found them vigorous
at nineteen and twenty years old.--Lipe
Stock Jonrnal

The Cannibal at Home.

Among the Solomon groups of islands
in the South Sea the cannibal In all his
unsophistcated perfection still abides
To renoer midnight surprises from enc
mics difficult these ferocious savages
sleep in huts built in the top of tall trees
The only means of approach to these
houses is by ladder made of creeper
suspended from post within the house,
and which, of course, can be hauled up
at will. The houses are most ingenious
ly built, and are very firm and strong
Each house will contain from ten to
twelve natives, and an ample store Of
stones is kept, which they throw both
with slings and with the hand, with great
force and precision. At the foot of each
of these trees is another hut, in which
the family usually reside, the tree house
being only resorted to at night and dur
ing times of expected danger. In fact,
however, they are never safe from sur
prise, Notwithstanding all their precau
tions, as the great object in life among
the people is to get each others heads
Capt Simpson of British ship recently
visited the chiefs house on the beach,
and found a row of twenty-five human
heads, captured in recent raid, fastened
up across the front like vermin at barn
door. 1t was acknowledged that the oh
ject of the raid was toget heads and eat
the bodies, which is always done. The
heads of men, women and children are
all taken, and the wonder is that the
whole island does not become depopulat-

Good Manners.

Good manners are the particular dis
tinction of gentleman. They elevate
him in society, in the estimation of all
worthy people, and create for him that
which money cannot buy.
In the education of our children moth.
ing is more neglected, and to this is, in
a large degree, attributable the growing
lack of respect and reverence among
young people for their superiors.
Home is the first school of childhood.
Here they should be early taught to be
polite and well behaved, for the first
mental impression of a young child can
not be obliterated by correction or for
getfulness. Parents cannot exercise too
great degree of care in the examples
they set before their children, and in the
manner in which they expose them to
impure and contaminating influences.
The formation Of human character is
commonly the result of early associations.

Rsusic Hath Charms.

A correspondent of the Concord New

his visits. The musician fell in with the
suggestion and frequently regaled the
doctor with the concord of sweet sounds.

How TO TAKE HONEY FROM THE
HIvE.-A French scientific journal pro-
tests against the common practice of
sitting bees with the smoke of sulphur
or some other deadly emanation prepara,
tory to getting possession of the wax and
honey in the hive, and suggests a more
rational process, which isthus described:
1t consists in pouring about four
grammes of chloroform on a handker-
chief which is put on a plate on table
cloth spread out on the ground, with an
iron-gauze sieve over it. Two men then
take hold of the beehive and place it
carefully over the sieve; the corners of
the table cloth are then drawn over the
hive to prevent the escape of the ema-
nations. Immediately loud buzzing is
heard. which gradually diminishes until
perfect silence ensues. On raising up
the hive all the bees are found lying ap-
parently dead on the sieve; by the time
the contents of the hive have been got
out and the latter set up in its place
again the insects under the influence of
air and sunshine recover and return to

INFLUENCE OF NEWSPAPERS. Says
Daniel Webster: Small is the sum that
is required to patronize newspaper and
amply rewarded is its patron, l care not
how humble and unpretending the ga
zette which he takes. 1t is next to i'm
possible to fill sheet with printed mat
ter without putting into it something
that is worth the subscription price.
every parent, whose son is away from
home or at school. should supply him
with newspaper. | well remember
what marked difference there was be-
tween those of my schoolmates who had
and those who had not, access to news
papers. Other things being equal, the
first were always decidedly superior to
the last in debate, composition and gen
eral intelligence.
