to have none. says: Byron. as all tho
world knows, was resplendently witty.
So brilliant anil Astounding wa his wit
that it has thrown his humor into tho
shade. But he had . vein Of humor,
true and racy, which was beginning to
show itself as his affections fell of in his
later time. / am willing to rest the
question on his delineation Of 'Suwar-

there may be a lack Of sympathetic per.

A New Way OF sending Money ny
Mall.

MAlls
Postmaster General James has, 1t is
said. devised a plan forssending small
sums Of money through the mails at a
cheap rate. The device consists of a
card having three columns represent
ing dollars, tens and cents. and the
amount to be drawn is designated by
punching out figures. Two denomin-
atoms will be issued, D for all sums
within e. so, and the other for all sums
| within S.. The orders will be payable
to bearer, and the postoflce will not be
responsible for their safe delivery any
more THAI for fractional currency, for
which they are u substitute. The ord
era will be finely printed an bank note
paper. The postmaster will sell the 81
card for two or three cents premium.
/ and the SIS card for four or five cents
premium, and will himself punch out
the amount paid and the buyer will
simply inclose the card In his letter,
and the receiver can get it cashed ut
any Office. The postmaster viii enter
the amount of the order on a tab, which
will DO the only check the department
| will need. as the name Of the sender
and payee are not entered. In order
to prevent the use of the postal orders

only for three months from the date Of

An uptown lady is the owner OF a
cat who loves to jump after flies. This
lady, wishing to rid herself of the flies,
purchased several sheets of sticking fly
paper, and Saturday morning placed
one on the writing-desk in the dining
| room and went about her work. Soon
| she heard a remarkable noise, and the
| next instant the cat went through the
| room with such speed that 1t could only
be likeped to a cat being shot from o
cannon. 1t was nothing but a dull,
| gray streak. In the rear, attached to
| one Of its hind feet, followed the sheet
| Of fiy-paper. The animal was perhaps
| the widest cat ever seen. She took in
every room, staircase and hallway in
the house, and went through them all
at the same gait, except increasing 1t
| slightly In going downstairs, owing to
the fact that she didn't stop to count
the steps, and wherever she went the
fy-paper followed like grim fate and
| the cat would still be 'sscooting"
through the house like a veritable
spectre had not its owner in attempt
ing to shut one Of the doors, SO as to
narrow the scene of operations, caught
the paper fast. AS it tore loose from
the hind foot of the cat, she gave an
awful yowl and disappeared under the
not returning to her usual Be-
renity until several hours after. Since
that time, whenever she sees q bit Of
fiy-paper, with wonderful sagacity,
learned by experience, she makes
tracks with the speed Of a coyote to
some other part of the house.
