Honey Never Called Fer.

Postmaster-General James passed
yesterday in New York as a short re.
lief from his arduous duties at Wash.
ington. He declined to discuss
politics or to give any information
relative 20 pending Cabinet changes
to the Star reporter last evening, but
stated some facts regarding Post
Othce management.
perhaps you did not know" be
said, "that there is an excess Of
81, $780, coo in the sub.tieasury here
which represents really the amount
OF money orders never claimed. New
York is the general clearing house Of
the money order system, and that
amou includes all other money
order Offices in the United States"
why is it that so much money
remains unolaimedI"
From various reasons; chiefly
from instruction of the money Or
ders. Many people who send money
are careless as to the address, 80 that
1t IS never received. In other cases.
people receive the money orders. and
instead OF cashing them at once,
keep them In their pockets or lose
them. Many Of those who receive
money orders are foreigners, with
slight knowledge of the language and
they do not Know how to get them
cashed. There are a great NUMBER
of ways in which this accumulation
may have occurred. 1t is, in fact,
not very large amount considering
that it includes all the United States,
and has been aecumulating for seven
teen years, since the postal money.
order system was instituted"
"Oan ola money orders be cashed
at any timer"
"Oh, yes There is no limit as to
time. and if you print these facts in
the Star doubt not there will be a
large number of old ones presented
Tor payment. There has already been
q statement about the matter, and
Postmaster Pearson and agree that
there will be probably 100000 Of
the 81. 800. 600 reclaimed at once"
The Postmaster General, during
this conversation. was preparing to
return to Washington. and at It's close
took cab for jersey City, whence be
departed On the 7.30 train.-NesU

Scandinavian Hospitality

The NEST striking quality Of Scan.
diuavian character seem to be hospi-
t4lity. Throughout Norway, Sweden,
aud the far North the author was
heartily received by every one, from
toe king in his palace to the Laplan-
der ia his tent. During five years Of
almost incessant travel. in the course
OF which every part OF the peninsula
was visited, Mr.. Du Chaillu was
e9olly treated only once. 1hs Swedes
and NorWegians have the reputation
of being reserved and cold, but this is
true of them only when they meet
strangers of the class best suggested
by the word "tourist." To any one
waose interest in them can not be
meas. red by stare or two and few
i'm Jer inent questions they are IN.
su-u,c GUS and communicative, as
II as cordial to the verge of afec-
toe. Mr.. Du Chsillu went among
them freely, conversed with them in
their language. wore garments like
tteir own, and took part in their
labors, sports, and ceremonies. The
treatment be received in return
causes aim to speak most enthusiast
tically in praise o: their sociability
and kindness.
IA 10 all Their countries that retain
their primitive habits. hospitality ia
Scandinavia always implies eating
and drinking. The poorest farmer
or fisherman always has something to
offer the visitor; lack Of appetite is
generally construed as a slight. The
author mentions one occasion On
which. to avoid hurting any one's
feelings he ate thirty times ia two
days, and drank thirty-four cups of
coffee. Often strong cheese is offered
just before meal to provoke appetite.
and in the cities a formal dinner is
preceded by q smorgdS, or lunch, at a
table crowded. with alleged appetizers.
On q single 8morgas table the author
Noted smoked reindeer meat, smoked
salmon with poached eggs, raw sal
mon freshly sailed; hard-boiled eggs.
caviate, fried sausage. snchovy.
smoked goose breast. cucumbers, raw
salt herring, several kinds of cheese
and as many OF bread, and salad
made of picked herring, boiled meat.
potatoes, eggs, beets, and onions.
There were also three kinds OF spirits
on the table, and from these and the
various dishes the guests helped them
selves beautifully, and then did justice
to an excellent dinner arper's
