Why 1t Was Discontinued.

The post-office at Iron Rod, NJ T., has
been discontinued, and the explanation
is thus given by an officer of the depart
ment: "a post-ofiice agent, while Of
cially visiting various Offices in Montana
for the purpose of correcting any irreg-
ularities of postmasters, stopped at Iron
Rod. Going into the postoffice he found
the room divided into three sections
first a saloon, next the postoflice, and
last faro bank. The mailbag was
brought in, rough-looking customer
opened it and emptied the contents on
the floor. The entire crowd at once got
down on their hands and commenced
overhauling the letters, among which
several were registered, and selected
such as they wanted. After they were
through the remaining letters were
shoveled into candle-box and placed
on the bar. The special agent, thinking
the office neededa little regulating, asked
the barkeeper, who had received and
distributed the mail, if he was the post
master. He answered No. Are you
the assistant postmaster?' NO. Where
is the postmaster?' Out mining Where
is the assistant postmaster Gone to
Hell's Canon; and by thunder Bill Jones
has got to run this office next week; it's
his turn The Government official then
stated who he was, and demanded the
keys of the office. The bartender coolly
took the candle-box from the bar, placed
it on the floor and gave it a kick, send
it out of the door, saying: There's your
postofice. and now git The agent
says: Knowing the customs of the
country. / lost no time in following this
advice, and GOT This is why the post
office at Iron Rod was discontinued"

The Public Lands.

The Commissioner of the General Land
Office, in his annual report, shows that the
disposals of public lands under all acts of Con.
gress embraced 1875 ,7i0.T acres, and of In
dian lands $40 $3.50 10 acres, making the total dis.
posals IA, 309, $50 acres-an increase over dis
posals of the preceding year of 3,4l2, 1898
&C es. The amount of money received from
all sources in connection with disposals OF fhe
public lands was 81, .261.G,, and from sales
of Indian lands 1854 1922. total of $3.50
Sis2i, being an increase over the previous
year Of s29Si.0i40s.
Judge MacFarland says: "a repeal of the
Presumption law would simplify the public
business and be in the interest of public econ.
omy and good administration. Such repeal
would, moreover, remove one of the causes of
frauds in land entries, which have apr he'd
great magnitude"
The total area of public lands surveyed in
the several States and Territories from the
beginning of surveying operations by the Gov.
eminent up to June 30, 1882 is S3l, SG3 acres.
The estimated area Of unsurveyed portion of
the public domain, inclusive of the Territory
of Alaska, is ss3,Oe2, 759 acres.
Respecting the forfeiture of railroad grants.
the Commissioner says: "The status of the
various grants for railroad purposes where
roads have not been constructed within the
t1fne preScrlOeu Uy law WIS TepOrteu 10 OOu.
gress March %, last. The absence of legisla-
tive action touching the renewal of these
grants, or declaring the forfeiture thereof,
seriously embarrassed the work Of this
Office. 1t is not deemed expedient to
certify additional lands to railroad COM
panies, nor to award to companies lends
in dispute between them and settlers, OF
other claimants, pending the determine
ton of Congress in the premises. Large
numbers of settlers are occupying such lands,
and it is important to them to know whether
they can receive their titles from the United
States, or whether they will be required to
purchase from the railroad companies. The
prevailing uncertainty necessarily retards i'm
provements and impairs values"
On the subject of fraudulent land entries
the Commissioner says: investigations that
have been made during the past year have de-
veloped the existence of much fraud under
the shield of the Presumption, Homestead and
Timber Culture laws"
The Commissioner says that in his opinion
statute is required imposing penalties for the
unlawful Enclosure of the lands and the pre-
vention by force or intimidation Of legal set
tlement and entry.
Commissioner Mcfarland submits estimates
for salaries and contingent expenses for the
next fiscal year amounting in the aggregate to
$453,9f0, which is an increase of the amount
appropriated for the current fiscal year of $S3,.
DO The increase ia distributed generally
among bureau officers, and includes $1,000 for
an Assistant Commissioner.

says /, .it's odd You've lost says
he. Yes says I; 'we'll get the cigars
at Kinzua.' And then we falls to talkin'
about somethin' else long time, until
all once says he, 4 just want to show
you little bean box I've got here;' an
he pulls out that box again. Says he,
Let's bet the cigars or something on
odd or even beans in this box Thinks
/ to myself, you poor absent-minded
critter, can't remember that YOU showed
that to me minute ago. And says,
All right; s'pose we make the bet five
dollars" l thought I'd Just teach him
to remember things. .I'u do it. says
he; now what is it?' Even says /.

Colonel paused.

"A British Columbian has discov-
cred a new way of DISCRIMINATING the
Chinese. Finding two CelestiaIs asleep,
he stealthily crept up to them and cut
off their cues. When they awoke they
were so horrified at their loss that they
jumped into the nearest river and
drowned themselves. The removal of
the cues was certainly cruelty. Every
body knows that a Chinaman would
rather part with his life than his back
hair.-N. Y Star.

To Take Out Milk and Coffee Stains.

These stains are very difficult to re-
move, especially from light-colored and
finely-fnished goods. From wooden and
mixed fabrics they are taken out by
moistening them with mixture of one
part glycerine, nine parts water and one
half part aqua ammonia. This mixture
is applied to the goods by means of q
brush, and allowed to remain for twelve
hours Occasionally renewing the moist
ening). After this time the stained
pieces are pressed between cloth and
then rubbed with a clean rag. Drying,
and if possible, little steaming, is gen
orally sufficient to thoroughly remove the
stains. Stains on silk garments which
are dyed with delicate colors, or finely
finished, are more difficult to remove.
In this case five parts glycerine are
mixed with five parts water and one
quarter part ammonia added. Before
using this mixture it should be tried on
some part of the garment where it can
not be noticed, in order to see if the
mixture will change color. If such be
the case no ammonia should be added.
If, on the contrary, no change takes
place, or if, after drying, the original
color is restored, the above mixture is
applied with soft brush, allowing it to
remain on the stains for six or eight
hours, and is then rubbed with clean
cloth. The remaining dry substance is
then carefully taken off by means of q
knife. The injured places are now
brushed over with clean water, pressed
between cloths and dried. II the stain
is not then removed, rubbing with dry
bread will easily take it of. To restore
the finish thin solution of gum-arabic,
or in many cases beer is preferred, is
brushed on, then dried and carefully
ironed. By careful manipulation these
stains will be successfully removed
