About Sending Papers BY Mail.

1t is well that all persons who are
IN the habit of sending newspapers
through the postoffice should know
that they must be properly stamped
or they will not go. A one cent
stamp will carry one newspaper of
ordinary size, but will not carry two
or three. A single three, cent stamp
will carry a letter. though it be over
weight, but there is no such regula-
ton in regard to newspapers. Pa
pers not covered with the proper
amount in stamps are never sent nor
are they ever adyertised-they are
simply thrown away. Persons fire.
quently roll up three or four papers,
stick a one-cent stamp on them, and
dump them into the postotfice, think
ing they are bound to go; but they
never go--except into the waste pile.
All who do this lose their s;amp.
Occasionally there are dumped into
the postotiice in this city rolls of pa
pers that would weigh a pound or
two with but a single one cent stamp
attached. 1t is the last of that roll
of papers so far as the sender or the
person to whom it is addressed is
concerned.-Virginia New. Enter

How Level.Headed.

WASHINGTON, May 3.-Postmaster-
General Howe, in his letter to Congress
recommending the abolition of postage
upon newspapers and magazines, says
at may well be doubted if, on the whole,
the people get as much information OF
public affairs from the volumes gratuit-
ously thrown at them by the government
as they do from the newspapers and mag
azines which they purchase and pay for. ]"
The Postmaster-General recites other
considerations which lead him to the
conclusion that Congress may, at the
present time, safely abrogate all discrim-
ination between subscribers to newspa-
pers and magazines and send the same
through the mails without charge,
whether such subscribers are within the
county of publication or without.

Finger Nails.

Our finger nails grow out about TIRES
times year. They should be trimmed
with the scissors once a week, not 20
close as to leave no room for the dirt to
gather, for then they do not protect the
ends Of the fingers, as was designed BY
nature besides, if trimmed too close at
the corners, there is danger of their
growing into the flesh, causing incon-
venience and sometimes great pain.
The collections under the ends of the
nails should not be removed by any
thing harder than brush or a soft piece
OF wood, nor should the nails be scraped
with penknife or other metallic sub
stance, as it destroys the delicacy of
their structure, and will at length give
them an unnatural thickness. We are
not favorably impressed as to the clean
illness OF Il person who keeps his nails
trimmed to the quick, as it Is often done
to prevent dirt gathering there where
US, If a margin were allowed it would be
an index to the cieanlin IS of the hands,
from which the collections under the
finger nails are made. Leave margin,
then, aud the moment you
observe that these collections
need removal you may know
that the hands need washing, when they
and the nails are both cleaned together.
Most persons are familiar With those
Troublesome bits of skin which loosen ut
the root of the finger mills; it is caused
by the skin adherlug to the na |. which,
>rowipg outward, drags the skin along
Nth it, str, tching it until me end gives
way. To prevent this the skin should
ne loosened from the nail once week,
lot with knife or SC ors, but with
>omething blunt, such as the end Of al
very paper-cutter; this is best done
after soaking the fingers in warm water,
then pushing the skin back gently and
slowly; the white specks on the nails are
made hy scraping the nail with knife
at a point where 1t emerses from the
skin. Biting fl the finger nails is an
rmclcanly practice, for thus the insight
| " collections at the ends are kept eaten
clean Children may he broken Of such
i filthy habit by causing them to dip
tho ends OF their fingers several times u
,lav in NORWOOD hittcrs, without let
ting them know the object if this is
not sufficient, cause them to wear caps
on each finger until the practice is dis
continued. - Hats Journal Of Utalth.

Soul I!urying.

Whenever an Ahchasian is drowned
his friends search carefully for the
body, but, if tins is not found, they pro-
,.etd to capture the soul Of the deceased,
!, measure which then has become
matter OF importance.
A goatskln bag ssprinkled with water
and placed with its mouth, which is
stretched open over a hoop, looking
toward the river, near the place where
the man is supposed to have been
drowned. Two corus are stretched from
the spot across the river, rs bridge on
which the soul can come over. Vessels
containing food and drink ale set around
the skin, and the friends Of the deceased
come aud eat quietly, while song is
sung with instrumental accom- pani-
ments.
The soul, it is believed, is attracted
by the ceremonies, comes over on the
bridge that is laid for it, and goes into
the trap. AS soon as it has entered
that is, when the bag is inf tied by the
breeze-the opening Is quietly closed,
and the bag is taken up to the burial
place, wnere grave has already been
prepared. The bag is held with the
opening to the grave, the strings are
united, and the bag is squeezed into
the grave, and the burial is afterward
completed.
Ths rite is con 5dered of equivalent
value with the burial of the body, and
the grave is treated with the same honor
as if the so1y were really within il.

WASHINGTON, May 22.-The Sec
rotary Of the Treasury has published

ment of the anti Chinese law, to be
delivered to the customs officers.
The forms of the certificates to be

craving and Printing to be engraved
in a manner that will prevent coun-
terfeiting. The circular directs
the attention of collectors of customs
to the copy of the act Of May 6,
which is enclosed. To prevent any
just cause of complaint as regards
the administration of the law, col
lectors and all other officers will take
pains to carefully carry out the pro-
visions of the act so far as it devolves
upon them. The certificate must
conform in all particulars to the list
entered in the registry books, kept in
accordance with the requirements of
the act named. The registry books
should be numbered consecutivelv,
the certificate SO numbered to cor
respond. The form of the certificate
is as follows:
Number, description, copy of the
Chinese labor act of May 6, 1892, and the
words: "Ths certificate is furnished
to the following-named Chinese labor
er -- departing from the Uni
ted States for production to Il customs
officer on his return. To knowingly and
falsely alter this certificate, or to substi-
tute any name for that written in the
certificate, or to falsely personate any
person named herein, is to be guilty OF a
misdemeanor and to subject the offender
to fine and imprisonment" Then fol-
low the observation-disclosures, age, occu-
patton, last place of residence, hight,
complexion, color of eyes, physical
marks or peculiarties.
The Chinese labOrer to whom this GER
tificate is issued is entitled, in accord
ance with sections 3, 4, and of the Act
of Congress approved May 6, 1892, to re-
turn to and re-enter into the United
States at the time of re-entry aforesaid
to the collector of customs of the district

KINGSBURY HALL.
1t, Too, Is Captured by Lodging House
Keeper.

Kingsbury Hall, over the Coffin
Bros.,s hardware store, is being par
titioned off into rooms, and will be
fitted up as a lodging house. 1t will
be ready for dodgers by the 10th.
The entertainment there this eve
ming will be the last occasion on
which the public will be admitted to
the hall, as after tonight the
carpenters will have entire posses
sion of it.
This is the fourth hall that has
been wrested from the amusement
seekers of HALEY within eight
months. The first hall built was in
the Bonanza saloon building, up
stairs. 1t was completed toward the
end Of September, and at once rented
for the use of the Second Judici al
District. At the close of the term
it was turned into lodging house.
The public schoolhouse was then
built and used for awhile. But a
feeling existing in the comm unity
against the use of the schoOlhouse
for dancing purposes, the Robertson
brothers went to work on the build
ing which is now the Grand Central
Hotel. This was really magniti-
cent hall 2SxSO, and the largest in
the Territory Of IDAHO 1t was used
all winter, and many delightful par
ties were held there. But with the
coming of spring the Grand Central
Hotel was opened, and the second
story was partitioned off for bed
rooms.
S. B. kingsbury then had the
Kingsbury & MCGOWAN building
erected, and devoted the second floor
to amusements. But this has hardly
been in use two months, when it, too,
goes the way of all our halls, so far.
and is leased for lodgings.
There is now no public hall in
town, and one must be built without
delay. The District Court will meet
here on the second Monday in July
and the second Monday in October,
and each term will last from six to
eight weeks at least. Now, the Court
must be accommodated; and as the
ground floor of no building in town
will do, a second story will have to
be added to the buildings already up,
or another house erected.
