THE POSTAL ORDER.---The mercantile
community will be deeply interested in an
order issued by Postmaster General Maynard,
on Monday to Oostmasters throughout the
country, and which has gone into effect. 1t
revokes regulation made by Postmaster
General Key in April. 1872 and in effect that
requires that all commercial documents,
wholly or in part in writing, shall be subject
TO the ordinary letter rates of postage (three
cents per half ounce instead of the third
class rate Zone cent for two ounces, to which
Gen. Keys order assigned it, Assistant Post
master Pearson said yesterday that the opera
ton of this order will be to increase the reve-
nue. of the New York Post Office alone to the
extent of about 81 900 day. The statute
of March 8, 1870 defining mail matter of the
first. class, places within that category all
matter of wholly or partially in writing" ex-
cepting certain specified objects. The revoca-
ton by Postmaster General Maynard of sec
ton 232 of the postal regulations will subject
to first class, or letter rates. an immense
amount of correspondence forwarded by rail
way and insurance companies, partly in writ
ing and partly in print, "prices current with
the quotations filed out in writing, deeds OF
all kinds on printed forms with blanks filed
in writing, waybills insurance policies, youch-
ers, cash checks, drafts, and the like.

AN EXTRAORDINARY CAsE.-Mrs. Mollie
Utz of New Albany, Ind, a little more than
year ago noticed numbness at the ends Of
her fingers, and this slowly spread upward
until ali the fingers on both hands became
involved. It was ossifcation. The hard

reached almost to the elbows on both arms
Flesh, muscles, arteries ana nerves are now
APPARENTLY solid bone, the skin covering the
ossified parts being hard and alabaster-like in

Why We Combine our
Advertisements.

: We combine in order
to compete. By pool
ing our advertisements,
we can afford to give
that prominence to our
advertise m e nts that
would be out of the
question were we to adj
vertise individually.
Again, we combine
for the reason that we
are TIL orou hly ac-
quainted with those with
whom we combine, hav-
ing been for years their
neighbors, and can,
with out the slightest
hesitancy, recommend
each and every one to
our patrons.
Finally, we combine
for the reason that by
so doing we can afford
to give the purchaser
the benefit Of what is
saved in advertising on
sales, which should to
them be one of the best
reasons for giving us a
call, as under any cir
cumstances we can sell
as cheap as any of our
competitors, and united
we cannot be undersold.
We unite in calling
the attention Of our pa
irons and the Public
generally to the advan-
tages to be derived from
accepting the invitation
here extended them.
Condensed, you will
find nearly everything
you want, and we know
at prices as low, if not
lower, than can be OBJ
tanned elsewhere. We
each individually most
cordially unite in re-
commencing the other
to our patrons.
1t is no selfish motive
that prompts us, but a
sincere desire for the
Public veal, in which
our patrons are invited
TO participate.

How to Hang Thermometers.

There seem to be so many erroneous
notions among amateur meteorologists
about the minimum temperature Of the
twenty-four hours, and how to obtain it
correctly, that few lines from an "old
weathercock, l trust, will not be alto
getherlost. In the first place, then, the
temperature of the wall of any building
at any hour of the night or day is not
the true temperature of the circulating
air, and is of no use to science. A wood
wall will radiate its heat more rapidly
than brick or stone, and the amateur
scientist who hangs his thermometer on
a wood wall can force his mercury down
below the amateur who selects brick
wall. The proper way to expose your
thermometer is to surround it with a
light wood frame, covered with Stats,
like shutter work, and rooted over.
This will protect it from the direct rays
of the sun and reflected heat Run
light wood bar across the center of your
shelter, to which yon can attach the
thermometer, which should be, when
properly exposed, on the north side of
the building, and at least one foot from
all surrounding objects. If these dt
rections are followed, erroneous reports
of extreme cold weather will not find
their way into print so often. 1t is not
very funny thing for the press to re-
port twenty-five degrees below zero
when fifteen degrees represented the
true temperature of the circulating air.
1t gives persons abroad wrong impress.

Useful Things to Know.

HoUsEKEEPERs are often greatly
troubled and perplexed by mildew from
damp closets and from rust. By put
ting an earthen bowl or deep plate full
of Quicklime into the closet, the lime
will absorb the dampness and also
sweeten and disinfect the place. Rats,
mice and many bugs that are aptto con-
gregate in damp places have dislike to
lime. AS often as the lime becomes
Stacked throw it on the compost heap if
in the country, or into the ash barrel If
in the city.
Often articles of value in polished
steel, particularly knives, are left damp
or water is unfortunately spilled upon
them. If this is discovered before the
rust has eaten through the plating or
polished surface, it can easily be re-
moved without defacing the articles.
But if they have lain long unnoticed
and the rust has made its way through
the surface, they must be taken to some
manufactory where there is an emery
wheel used for polishing, or some jewel
er will be able to finish them off as
good as new. But in the case of knives
and forks they will never be quite as
strong, because in removing the rust
they must be ground down before repol-
ishing, and will consequently be thinner.
If your coal fire is low, throw on a
tablespoonful of salt, and it will help it
very much. A little ginger put into
sausage meat improves the flavor. In
icing cakes, dip the knife frequently in
to cold water. In boiling meat for soup,
use cold water to extract the juices. If
the meat is wanted for itself alone,
plunge in boiling water at once. You
can get bottle or barrel of oil off any
carpet or woolen stuff by applying dry
buckwheat plentifully and faithfully.
Never put water to such a grease spot,
or liquid of any kind. Broil steak with
out sailing. Salt draws the juices in
cooking; it is desirable to keep these in
if possible. Cook over a hot fire, turn
ing frequently, soaring on both sides.
Place on platter; salt and pepper to
taste. Beef having tendency to be tough
can be made very palatable by stewing
gently for two hours, pepper and salt,
taking out about a pint of the liquid
when half done, and letting the rest boil
into the meat. Brown the meat in the
pot. After taking up, make a gravy of
the pint of liquid saved. A small piece
of charcoal in the pot with boiling cab
bage removes the smell.
Clean oilcloth with milk and water; a
brush and soap will ruin them. Tum-
blers that have had milk in them should
never be put in hot water A spoonful
of stewed tomatoes in the gravy of either
roasted or fried meats is an improve
ment. The skin of boiled egg is the
most eficaciOus remedy that can be ap-l
piled to boil. Peel it carefully, wet
and apply it to the part affected. 1t
will draw off the matter and relieve the
soreness in a few hours.

In North Carolina town, lately,
two men were disputing about the rela-
tive merits of the salve they had for
sale. One of them, in order to demon
strate that his salve was better than any
other, cut off a dogs tail and applied
little of the salve to the stump, and, in
the presence of the spectators, a new
tail grew out. But the other man, who
also had salve for sale, took up the piece
of tail that had been cast away, put a
little salve at the end of that, new dog
grew out, and the last heard of those
parties they were quarreling as to who
