A A PROPER CoRREoTIoN.-A vile disregard of syntax on the postal cards has been cor rected on the new ones just coming into circulation. The old card reads: Write the address only on this side-the message nn the other The meaning is: Do not write anything but the address on this side; dress on both sides-quite a superfluous piece of instruction. On the new card the word only is very properly expunged, the direction reading: Write the address on this side-the message on the other The error on the old postal cards is copied from the Canadian postal cards.

WASHINGTON, Sept 22.-Tho announcement
that Secretary Bristow has stopped the issue OF
ton cent fractional currency, is without founda-
ton. Since last March there has been no issue
of fifty cent fractional currency, the object be-
ing to rid the markets OF the counterfeits of that
denomination. AS far as possible the twenty
five, fifteen and ten cent notes have been fur-
nished, but the extent to which the half dollal
notes arc circulated exceeds that OF the otheI
three issues, being over one-half of the entire
amount Of fractional currency in circulation.
When the redemption OF the paper begins, or as
the hard money man of the treasury, Or. Lin
derman. director of the mints, Expresses 1t when
they are ready to cremate the fractional cnrren-
cy, the plan will undoubtedly be to withdraw
all the notes under fifty cents and replace them
with subsidiary coin. Mr.. Linderman, who has
Travelled extensively in the West, says that the
demand for silver coin is very great, not sc
much for its intrinsic value, but on account ol

Arrangements are being made for an assign

upon which an agreement was reached - under

made for tho general creditors out OF the assets
after the claim Of the Calvert is satisfied with
the payment of $3.50, 900. The showing for the
Calvert creditors il regarded as improved by
this arrangement, because of 30 much being az

COMMUNICATING Ventilation.


Col. q. L. Waring, Jr., writes in the October
Atlantic az follows -
The best practical statement havo met
about ventilation was contained in the remark
of mining engineer in Pennsylvania '' Air it
like rope you can pull it bettor than you can
push it," All mechanical appliances for push
ing air into a room or n house are disappointing.
What we need to do is to pull out the vitlated
air already in the room the fresh supply will
take care of itsof if means for its admission
are provided.
1t has been usual To withdraw the air through
openings near the ceiling, that i'd to carry oil
the warmer and therefore lighter portions. leav-
ing the colder strata at the bottom of the room,
with their gradual accumulation OF cooled car
bonic acid undisturbed, Much the better plan
would be to draw this lower air out from a
point near the floor, allowing the upper and
warmer portions to descend and take its place.
An open fro with g large chimney throat il
the best ventilator for any room the one half
or two thirds of the heat carried up.the chimney
il the price paid for immunity from disease ; and
large though this seems from its daily draft on
the wood-pile or the coal bin, it is tritiing when
compared with doctors bills and with the loss OF
strength and efficiency that invariably result
from living in unyentilated apartments.

When In late sumner the streams run yellow,
Bnrst the bridges and spread into bays;
When berries are black and peaches are mellow,
And hills are hid leu by rainy haze;
When the gcldenrod Is golden still,
But the heart OF the sunlower is browner AM

When the corn is IN stAcka on the sOpes OF the hill,
And over the path slides the striped adder.
When butterflies nuitcr from clover to thlcket,
Or wave their wings on the dropping leaf,
When the breeze comes shrill with the call OF the

Gras'hopper's rasp, and rustic Of sheaf.
When high In the iicli the fcrn leaves wrinkle.
And brown Is the arasl where the mowers have
mown,
When low In the meadow the cow-bells tlnke,
And brookets crlnk,e DER stock and stone.
When heavy and hollow the robins whistle,
And thick lies the shade In the heat of noon /;
When the air Is white with the down o. the thistle
And the sky is red with the harvest noon
o then be chary, young Robert and Mary;
Let no time slip-lOt IN moment walt
