The POstOffice Estimates.

Third Assistant Postmaster General
Hazen has completed the estimates Of
appropriations required for his Office
during the next fiscal year They aggre-
gate 1905, 900 against 81, $50, 900 sppro-
priated for the present fiscal year, being
decrease of $246,0 900, although there
will be an estimated increase of 10 per
cent. in the issue of adhesive stamps,
II per cent. in the issue of envel-
opes, and 20 per cent. in the issue
of postal cards. This favorable show
ing has been rendered possible by ad.
vantageous contracts for the manufacture
of postage stamps and postal cards.
The principal items of the estimates are
$S5. ZOO for stamps, $1,000 for postal
cards, and $547, 900 for stamped envel-
opes. These estimates, with those for
the other,branches of the department al
ready published, make total OF $780,
27,771. as the amount required to de-
fray all expenses of the postal service
during the next fiscal year. OF this
amount the department estimates it can
provide from its own revenues the sum
of 500, 036, O98.2S. This latter amount
will come from the following sources:
Ordinary revenue (sale of stamps, etc. J,
$27. 79S, 09S.28; money-order receipts,
$200,000; official postage, 1,036, 900,
leaving deficiency in the revenues of
the Postoffice Department to be provid-
ed for out of the general treasury of
81, 1893, 672.72. In the event of Congress
abolishirg official postage stamps. the
sum above estimated as one source of
revenue will necessarily have to he
omitted, and the deficiency appropria-
ton increased by that amount.

Curious Operation.

A novel operation for consumption
was lately performed upon Archibald
Chatterton at Campbellton, N. b. His
right lung was softened and broken
down, with the exception of small por-
ton at the top. DIR. Balloon, of that
town, thinking that he probably could
not recover, made deep incision in the
young mans chest at the lower end of
the shoulder blade, and inserted q sill
yer tube, through which he drew out a
large amount of matter. He afterward
washed out the cavity with disinfectants.
The patient was Immediately relieved,
his strength and appetite increased, and
he was soon able TO leave his bed and
walk about. His left lung being COM
paratively sound, strong hopes are en-
tertained of a prolongation of his life
for many years.

A FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT.
Two Sisters Horribly Mangled In Mill.
From the Jessamine (Ky) Journal.l

Two Sisters Horribly Msngied In Mill.
From the Jessamine (Ky) Journal.l
Never have we been called upon tc
chronicle n more heartrending accident,
nor one which has enlisted more
general and genuine sympathy with
the afflicted family than that which
occurred at Union Mills on last Friday
afternoon. Misses Blackford, Misses
Bourne and Charley Bourne composed
party at Mr.. Claiborne Rutherford's
on that day. In the morning some OF
the party attended the protracted meet
ing in progress at East Hickman, but
they all met Mt the dinner-table, when
one of the young ladies proposed to go
to the Touring mill, stating that she had
never yet seen one working. Conse-
quently the party named above, with
Miss Julia and Miss Annie Rutherford,
went down to Steele & Bronaugh's mill,
and Captain Steele, with his usual urban
lty, was showing them around. They
had been looking at the bolting-cloths,
and passed over some ship stuff. Miss
Annie Rutherford shook her skirt to rid
it OF the dust which had adhered to it,
when 1t caught in q inter cog-wheel,
about one foot from the floor, which drew
it into the machinery, and there was a
similar wheel about three feet higher, in
which her left arm was taken clean off,
together with the flesh and bone off her
breast. Clinging to the shaft, her skirt
fast in the bottom wheels, she was whirled
round at the rate of thirty-four revolu-
tions per minute.
Frantic with excitement Miss Julia
Rutherford rushed to her sisters assist
ance. Charlie Bourne did his best to
keep her from the danger she was ex-
posing herself to, and was at the same time
doing his utmost to extricate Annie, but
Julia persisted that she could not stand
to see her sister in such place, and, put
ting her arms around her, she had her
right arm cut off by the same wheel.
Annie's clothes were so twisted that it
was impossible to pull her away until
the engine was stopped by Captain
Steele, which took about one minute to
do, and Mr.. Samuel Gosney, perceiving
there was something wrong, Immediately
lowered the stones. The scene now
baffied description. There were the
cogs filled with flesh and bones. An
arm lying on the floor, the glove still on
the hand, two lovely girls FRUSTRATED in
their blood, and Charlie Bourne with his
left thumb cut off, from which he has
suffered intensely and was threatened
with lockjaw, but he is now probably
out of danger. Mr.. James Bronaugh,
Jr., took Julia home in buggy, and Mr..
Steele fixed Annie on board and pre-
scented her to her distressed parents.
Thus the company who, few minutes
before, were happy and joyous, were
plunged into inexpressible grief by a
shocking and deplorable accident. Drs.
Jaeger, WEIGH and Skillman have been
indefatigable in their attendance on the
sufferers, and at last accounts they were
Miss Annie did not rally from the eff
fects of the shock for forty-eight hours,
but since reaction has taken place fully
she bids as fair to recover as Miss Julia,
whose arm was amputated on Saturday.

The Deacon Answered.

Up in New Hampshire, where L
lived when boy" says Gov. Noyes,
"there was an old deacon who was a
great deal more pious than honest. He
was an old hypocrite, and when he had
done any particularly mean thing, he
eased his conscience by going out into q
field alongside of which was a stone-wall,
and, kneeling beside it, praying the
Lord to topple it over on him if he had
done anything offensive to Him or Of
fensive in His sight. Well, we boys
found it out, and one day when we saw
the Deacon making for the wall we got
on the other side and waited. He knelt
down, according to his usual custom, and
went through his usual formula, closing
with the petition to have the wall topple
over if he had done anything wrong.
And we toppled it. Jumping out from
under the stones the old man cried in
tones of mingled disgust and alarm,
Good gracious Can't you tell when a
man is Joking

After Wild Honey.

The senses of the bees are very acute.
By the aid of smell they find the sweet
est flowers, and thus the delicate clean
illness of the hive is preserved. While
certain odors are very attractive to them,
others are excessively repugnant. This
fondness for certain perfumes is used by
bee-hunters in discovering the nests OF
wild bees. When wild bees are seen
lettering around, an upright stake, to the
upper end of which is attached small
horizontal platform, is planted some
where near; on this platform is placed
bit of full comb, and in front of it is sus-
pended an open vial of annis, an oder
they particularly love. To expedite
matters, one of the strange bees is fire.
quently captured by inverting over the
flower from which it is sucking a
small cylinder with glass over the
end. The bee flies up to the lighted
end; the lower part is covered by the
hand, and the cylinder placed over the
honey-comb on the platform. AS soon
as the cylinder is darkened, by putting
something over the top, the bee goes
down to the honey and fills his honey
sac. When fully gorged, it is released;
bee, with its honey-sack filed, always
makes a "bee-line for the hive.
When the load of stolen sweets is de-
posted, the little pilferer comes back
usually with companion-guided by
the scent of annis; both alight on the
platform, and are held in mild captivity
till they are filed. One is then re-
leased, the direction il takes is noted;
the stake is then carried to some dis
lance to the right or left of it's former
position, and the second bee released.
The point at which the two declines "
cut each other is the position of the
nest.-Mrs. s. 3. Hearick, in ScriJner

BY the arrival at San Francisco of the
last steamer from Yokohama We get the
following news from Japan:
Z Peace is completely restored at the
South, and the troops are returning
home. The Prince Arionyana, Com
mander-in- Chief, reached Toxic, Oct. 5,
accompanied by leading Generals and
Admirals, and was received with high
honors. A policy of Cancellation and
forbearance was proclaimed, and severe
punishments only for those whose crimes
were other than political. Thus, Ava
ma, the former Governor of Kagoshima,
was executed for betraying his trust and
converting public moneys to rebel use,
and others for participation in wanton
massacres. Those who merely fought
in instruction under misleading guild
ance were to be leniently dealt with.
Saigo's body and head were found, but
under circumstances which still leave
doubt as to the exact position which was
held by him in the rebel movement. 1t
is probable low that it will never be
known to what extent he is responsible
for the outbreak, or whether he insti-
gated it at all. His active participation
at the end, however, is placed beyond
doubt.
"The imperial infant Prince received
the name of Yuki Hato, with the GUS
tomary ceremonies, Sept. 20. He will
be popularity known as Take-No- Miva.
"The first serious railway accident in
Japan occurred Oct 6. By the coils
ion of two night trains, three Japanese
were killed aud several persons wound
ed, among them two foreign engine
drivers.

the death-rate being exceedingly small. "

CleOpatra's Needle Held In Pawn.

1t appears that the sea.going obelisk,
abandoned off Finisterre, was not towed
into an English harbor, as was once pre-
sumed. 1t has found anchorage in the
port of Ferreol, and Spanish court of
maritime law must now determine the
amount of salvage due thereon. The
question of salvage is serious one for
the contractors. They have offered to
settle with the crew of the saving craft,
bat their offer is rejected with scorn.
The amount of salvage is largely deter
mined by the value of the rescued prop
erty. We must first decide what Cleo
patra's Needle is worth. The adjudica-
ton of all other questions is easy
enough. AS obelisks have no market
value, or are quoted at fancy prices, the
settlement is surrounded with numerous
embarrassments. Consequently, the
obelisk OF Thothmes Ill. will pass the
winter in an admiralty court at Ferreol.-
