In our paper of August 26 last, We
gave n resume of the probable modes
by which frauds were committed by
the reuse of postage stamps, and we
pointed out some Of the directions in
which improvements might be made
with probable advantage.
The principle losses to the government
appear to be, in brief, from the follow
ing causes:
1. Stamps are not Cancelled, or arc
so slightly defaced that they readily
pass into second use and escape detec-
ton.
3. Cancelled stamps are removed
from the letters, the canceling ink
washed of, the stamps regummed, and
sold for reuse.
3. Uncanceled stamps are removed
by rogues in the postoilices, and old
Cancelled stamps substituted. This
probably is the way that large loss
Is occasioned.
1t would seem that the inventor who
can make really serviceable postage
stamp that can be readily applied TO al
envelope, but which cannot beremovet
without the total obliteration of the
stamp, will have produced valuable
improvement. BY u serviceable stamr
is meant one that will bear reasonable
handling without injury, that has nj
poisonous qualities, thst is easily up
piled, and, as just stated, that canno
be removed intact after it is once pu

Good Words.
Why do town populations crave after
spirits? Beer is the drink par excel
lcnce of rustics, Of the inhabitants
of small towns, and even of the cock
ney who follows light pursuits. Licbig
has something TO say upon this sub
icct well worthy of deep consideration:
1.-The use of spirits is not the cause, but
an effect of poverty. It is an exception
from the rules when n wcll-fGd man be-
comes spirit drinker. On the other
hand, when n laborCr earns by his work
less than is required to provide the
amount of food which is indispensable
in order to restore fully his working
power, an unyieldng, ineXorablc law
or necessity compels him to have re-
course to spirits. He must work; but
in consequence of insufficient food u
certain portion of his working power is
daily wanting, Spirits, by their action
on the nerves, enable him to make up
the deficient power at the expense of
his body, to consume to-day that
quantity which ought naturally to have
been employed a day later" His ply
siOlogical capital is clearly being cX-
hausted, and it is no wonder that under
such circumstances, he dies compara-
lively early, and certainly premature
ly. Not only is such plan essentially
and radically bad, but alcohol is terri
bly, dear form of food. Alcohol in such
concentrated form is potent aid to the
already existing tendency to tissue
degeneration. When overwOrk calls in
alcohol TO its help the unholy alliance
usually works the most disastrous re-
suits, and brings the organism swiftly
to general decay, Even when the evil
results of the deadly combination are
not so marked, general deterioration is
manifest in impaired power of labor, in
inferior work, in lcssened hours of toll.
The tendency is to saunter away work
ing hours in the ale-house; partly be-
cause work is found so irksOmc that it
is pleasant TO do nothing; partly be-
cause the capacity TO work has been un-
dermincd. Of course, here again there
is not uniformity; one organism yields
more readily than another. Toll and
alcohol, and sometimes the alcohol with
very little toll, soon reduce one man to
the condition of social pariah; while
in another case q hale old man will be
found who works hard every day
'ncver misses any time" his fellow
workmcn say-yet who drinks daily an
amount of spirits which would soon tell
sorcly on an average person. But such
a case does not initiate against the
general soundness of the statement
that overwork, combined with alcohol
is 4 sure and certain road to body-ruin

Prof. Maspero, the savant in charge
of the Egyptian antiquities, on behalf
of the French government, has recently
translated thirteen tales from ancient
papyri, which dates back nearly five
thousand years. They will soon be re,
translated into English and will excite
much curiosity, for every intelligent
person will be interested in knowing
what kind of stories were in favor with
this very primitive people. From what
the French papers say, adventures rath'
er than loves was the theme of these
ancient romancers. The most import.
ant of the stories is from an Original
papyrus dating from the XlIth dynas'
tv, and is a tale of shipwreck told by Q
sea-captain, who, as the only survivor
is cast upon an island abounding in de-
licious fruits, and inhabited by seventy
five amiable and intelligent serpents
Tho head of this interesting family
treats his guest with distinguished hos
pitality, and converses with him in {
beautiful manner. "Amoui-Amouaa'
is tho name signed at the end Of thu
papyrus, and represents a scribe wht
lived and wrote about q thousand year
before Abraham journeyed into Egypt
IL is truly wonderful how tho past hal
been exhumed from the pyramids o
Egypt. We now know the manner
and religion, as well as the social Gus
toms Of that interesting people.

The Nose as II Sign Of Character

New York Post.
In Mrs. Kemble's Records she
saws: "With us coarse-featmed English
and our heavy-faccd Teutunic kinsfolk,
thick outline and Snub features are
generally supposed to be the Vulgar at
tributes CT our lower classes, but the
predominance of spirit over matter
vindicates itself strikingiy across the
Atlantic, where, in the lowest strata Of
society, the native American rowdy
with a face as pure in outline as an an
cicnt Greek coin, and hands and feet as
fine as those of n Normannoble, strikes
one dumb with the aspect of counte'
nance whose vile, ignoble hardness
can triumph over such refinement OF
lines and delicacy of proportion. A
human soul has awOnderful supremacy
over the matter which IL informs. The
American is whole nation of we'll
made, regular noses, from which fact
and few others | believe in their fu-
turc superiority over all nations. But
the lowness their faces is capable OF

terly Review remarks: During an
afternoon stroll along one of the most
crowded boulevards of Paris, the late
Lord Lytton called his companions at
tention to the rarity of well-made, regu-
lar noses among the French, which he
pronounced an unerring sign of the
deeeneracy of the race"

last year under new and elevated

acres boro nothing but gramma-grass
and cactus. This year 5000 of these
5000 acres, under wheat, and 45O

All sweet sounds together;

Wind in warm weather.
One thing yet there is, that none
Hearing ere its chime be done,
Knows not well the sweetest one
Heard of man beneath the sun,
Hoped in heaven hereafter;
Soft and strong and loud and light,
Very round and very light,
Heard from mornings rOsicst height,
When the soul Of all delight
Fills child's clear laughter.

Never forth such notes, nor told
Hours so blithc in tones so bold,
And the radiant mouth Of gold

Might be half as sweet as when

The umbrella is an institution in
Japan. Whether it owes its invention
to this people or not, they avail them
selves largely of its uses. The Japa-
nese umbrella is u sensible article in its
amplitude and lightness, being made OF
papef and bamboo. When under one
of them man is nearly as safe as if he
was under u shed, so far rs the falling
rain is in question, and the shade it
affords from the sun is "like unto that
of great rock in weary land. "
When folded, however, it possesses a
volume that is rather unwieldy and
inartistic in appearance. The average
Japanese is seldom seen without his
umbrella. 1t is an indispensable arti-
Gle of comfort, and rain or shine he
places himself under IFS protection. Ii
the same array of umbrellas was to be
seen on Market street that is constantly
in sight on the streets here it would be
a novel spectacle, especially on a
bright sunny day. The garment most
commonly worn is suited for all the
needs of warmth or GOODNESS, 1t is
made with wide, flowing, square
sleeves, and is wrapper-shapod, open
in front from top to bottom and con-
fined at the waist by a long band
wound around the body number of
times. 1t is very simple outfit. Com
fort cannot exact anything more sim
pie. In the cold season these garments
are duplicated by the addition OF
wadded articles of the same character.
The great multitude wear for headgear
simply a piece of blue cloth tied about
the temples, though the straw hat is
fast coming into use with many OF
course, there are many who have
adopted the European styles of costume
throughout from head to foot. The ma
tive dress of the Japanese is not cost
ly one. One of the garments in use in
summer will cost about $3.50 il made
OF cotton; more, of course, If silk.
