A Small Eater.

1t was Sunday afternoon, and young
Mr.. Staylaight had stopped until they
were forced to ask him to take supper.
The best china and the extra pieces of
silver graced the table, while one of the
incest napkins was placed by Young Mr..
Staylaight's plate, for the family desired
to create all the impression possible up
on his susceptible mind. His young lady
was conducting herself with great cred
it, and the young man was more than
ever in love with her, when the mother
said, passing the cake for the second
time
"Won't you have another piece, Mr..
StaylaightP''
- No, thank you,' said the young
man, in his politest tone, "not any
more.''
"Oh, do have just one more y urged
the mother, smiling sweetly; g You
haven't eaten hardly any thing"
The younger brother, who sat oppo-
site, and who had been instructed, much
to his disgust, not to ask twice for that
cake, saw his opportunity, and snorted
out with great malevolence-
ssHuh! / shouldn't think he had!
He's eaten four hunks o. tongue, three
biscuits, two plates o. sauce, two o.

Dead Letters, Etc.
WAsHINorou. Nov

WASHINGTON, November Il
The report of Mr.. e. J. Dallas.
Chief of the Dead-Letter Office of the
Post-O Office Department, shows that
there were received during the
last fiscal year an aggregate
crease of 100, 292 from the number re-
ceived during the previous year. This
decrease is believed to be owing to the
general use of envelopes on which re-
quests to ssreturn if not called for"
ETC., are printed. The extent to which
these "request envelopes are used was
ascertained by test made in May last.
In single day there were mailed at the
post-offices in Boston, New York. Phila-
delphia and Baltimore 354, 696 letters,
of which number 193, 879 bore the re-
quest to- return in ten days if not
called for
OF the aggregate number of letters
received at the Dead-Letter Office, 49,
O07 contained money to the value Of
$31 .59I; Is, SIS. contained drafts, checks,
etc., to the value of 81, los, 762; A, 1877
contained postage stamps of the value
of 80, 387, and 24.372 contained other
papers representing q monetary value;
24,O24 letters contained photographs,
and $500 contained articles of all
descriptions.
The efficiency of the system of regis
tered letters is shown by the fact that,
out of 5, 262, PAL registered letters sent
last year, but 2. 1913 found their way to
the Dead-Letter Office, and of these all
but 211 found their way finally to their
owners.
The following is statement showing
the amount Of fees collected at the
leading post-offices of the country on
registered mail matter for the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1879, placed in
comparison with the receipts of the
previous fiscal year. and also the per-
centape of increase:

locations and lands patented for rail-
ro1d stants, the increase in tie area
taken up BY settlers under the Home
stead and Timber-C Culture laws has

ance this falling off, but to make the
aggregate disposals for the year greater
By GA, 204 acres than the total for the
previous year. The increase in home-
stead entries was BAL, 766 acres; and in
entries s96, 139 acres.
Owing to the existing laws for the dis
posal Of public lands for homesteads

ing the fiscal year ending June so,

Discipline Must be Preserved.

The Richmond Cva.) Herald tells the
following story of the War:
Col. K. of John Morgan's Cavalry,
was not q martinez; but, bearded like
the pard. he had . military air. Disci-
pine was his hobby. The soldiers of
his regiment were young men from Is
to Is years old-all of them blue-blood-
ed. To restrain these Hotspurs required
tact, skin, and firmness. It was no easy
task to curb this jeunesse doree. But the
Colonel did it, and this was the way he
did it:
An inspection having been ordered,
the Brigadier and his staff visited the
.Colonel's camp for the purpose OF con-
-lucting it. While the regiment was in
line, undergoing inspection, two privates,
who had been ranging the night before

CurTINGs.-In planting, the operator
must be governed by the nature of>the
shoot. Grape-cuttings should be set ~
that only one eye is above ground. Set
other cuttings SO that two eyes will APP
pear above ground. In planting it is
absolutely necessary that the earth
should be quite firm about the lower
part of the cutting. For this, rs one
reason, it is usual to set them somewhat
slanting. Another advantage in fayer
of planting cuttings, slantwise, is that
they are supposed to root more freely
than when planted vertically, and for
the reason that thus greater surface is
