HOW TO PUT ON A POSTAGE STAMP.

Wasliayfon Letter.
A man can always learn something if
he will only look about him. was At
the Postoftice Department the other
day, and | noticed an employee busy
atiixing stamps to envelopes. Every
time he moistencd the right hand cor
ner Of the envelope and then placed the
stamp upon it. asked him if there
was any advantage in wetting the en-
velope instead of the stamp, aid he
said: You notice that moisten the
envelope first. Well, | do that because
it is the right way. There is a right
and wrong to everything, and, conse-
quently, there is right and wrong
way to put on postage stamps. II is
impossible to moisten stamp with the
tongue unless a small proportion of the
gum adheres to il. Now this gum is by
no means injurious, but then the De-
partment does not advertise il as a
health food SO the oaly way left is the
right way, and that is TO moisten the
envelope first. After listening To- this
brief statement, | felt as though | had
emerged from the deep shade Of ignor-
ance to glorious sunlight of knowledge.

whisky, and takes it out OF a water
glass, having an aversion to small glasses.
Jonas and Vest, As rule, take it with
little sugar. Eaton, Of Connecticut,
was pretty regular. He sometimes took
whisky, but most generally wine. He
seldom came in with any one. He
would drink a small bottle OF Mumm's
extra dry, pay for it and walk out
There was old Senator Dave Armstrong,
of Missouri. He always took whisky
and lemon-forty drops. Lapham, of
New York, would star, in on whisky,
but there was no telling what he would
wind up on. John u. Clark, Of Mis-

Van Horn. Proctor Knott never mixed
it, and always wanted old Bourbon

Oregon, as rule, took straight whisky.
The great objector, Mr.. Holman, used
suglr and water. Alexander Stephens

She goes to bed when she pleases, and
does not leave one ear uncovered to
listen for the uncertain steps and waver-

Neither does she turn rcstlessly on her
pillow beside sober, snoring spouse,
and wonder, and wonder, where the

Of her old love, and wakes to wonder

WHATS IN AkiSs.-Much trouble has
come from a kiss At Evansville, Indiana.
Ii is not by any means the first disaster
arising from that source, but this affair
is rather notable one. The man in
the case was the postmaster, the owner
of prosperous daily newspaper, a
church member and grandfather
The woman in the case is n widow.
There was but one kiss. II is not un-
derstood that the lady made any CON-
plaint about it, but some of those who
didn't get any kiss circulated the story
through the town. 1t drove the un-
fortunate man from the church, and he
was compelled to resign his postmaster
ship and sell his newspaper. In all
probability he will now find it conve-
nient to go to some better regulated
part of the country where il isn't such
an outrageous thing to kiss widow as
il seems to be in Evansville. There
are plenty Of such places in this broad
land.

Defying Competition.

Since the firm of Herman & Hirsch
have begun the manufacture of boots and
shoes, at the Gallon City penitentiary, there
has been quite a revolution going on at
Denver and other points in the state in
that particular trade. 1t has been found
that it is impossible to ship boots and shoes
from the cast into Colorado and compete
in prices with the manufactures of the
above firm. This is the natural result
of conducting business on systematic
plan. This firm has all the money neces-
sary to carry on large business and has
the advantages gained by owning its own
tanneries in the east, and in shipping its
leather in car load lots In employing pen
itentiary labor and the most improved ma
chinery, it gets its goods made up in
the most substantial manner, and SO cheap
that it can drive the eastern goods from
the market AS there has been n large
number of employees and their families
brought to Cation by this new enterprise,
the people of this place look upon the pro-
prietors as public bcnefactors.

The Russian Mulberry.

| This valuable fruit, timber and orna-
mental tree was brought to America from
latitude forty-nine, Western Russia, by the
Mennonites, and is, as near as can learn,
a cross between the morus nigra, or black
mulberry of Persia, and the morus tatarica,
native Russian variety. This tree is as
rapid grower rs the cottonwoods, far
superior in every particular, and grows to
be very large in some parts of the states !;
will grow more scrubby in Colorado, as all
timber does. The timber is hard and dur
able, fine for furniture, fence posts, and in
fact, almost anything. 1t will commence
to bear at two and three years old, and is q
very prolific bearer. The fruit is about
the size and shape of the Kitatinna black
berry, the berries are jet black and de-
licious eating berry. They also make a
nice wine. The leaves are lobed, or cut
with from five to twelve lobes, and very
valuable for silk worms. The bark is
grayish white, branches dropping. 1t also
makes hedge plant. The fiber and bari,
are fine for making paper. For fruit and
silk the trees should, in Colorado, be twelve
feet apart, for fuel, four feet. Everybody
should plant this tree in place of the dirty
cottonwood. Set between your cotton
woods, and as the mulberry grows, cut the
cottonwoods out. w. A. HELM.

SNOWY SCENES.
An Exciting Mountain Ridc-Six En-
gines Wrecked in one Heap.

One of the most exciting rides yet chron-
iclcd in railway experiences in Colorado
was that made by passengers on the Du-
range train which crossed the Conejos and
Sangre de Christie ranges last Friday. As
the little train approached the summit of
the first range it met heavy SHOWS, and one
engine after another was put on until no
less than five were Juggling up the grade,
proceeded by two snow-plows. Thus, drawn
by seven iron horses, the train crossed the
summit, where the snow had filled the
cuts to the depth of several feet, in some
places even with the roofs of the coaches,
the fiery steeds cutting tunnel for miles
through the winding sheet. The little en-
gines were often stopped in the drifts; but,
by backing out, and butting the barrier
with renewed force, managed to reach AL
amosa. On the Sangre de Christie range
the snow was fully three feet deep, and
badly drifted; but the brave engines
plunged fearlessly into it, and landed their
cargo of human freight at Pueblo, thirteen
and one-half hours late.
On the Atlantic and Pacific road, in New
Mexico, the storm was the worst ever
known. The snow filled the cuts, and ten
Moguls were sent out to break through it.
A short distance west of Coolidge one of
these became derailed, and the train hands
were unable to replace it on the track.
Two more engines were sent to their relief;
but, owing to the binding storm, the en-
gineers could see nothing, and crashed into
the wreck. In n few hours two more en-
gines, with n caboose, were sent out, these
also sharing a similar fate. Thus were six
giant Moguls and caboose piled in one
confused heap. AS if by miracle, no lives
were lost. Passenger trains transferred
around the wreck for several days, the
snow being so deep three heavy engines
were required to draw one ordinary pas
senger train.

George Allen, aged 16 years, while expert
menting with o giant cartridge cap by
picking it with a needle, lost part
of his thumb and forefnger of the left hand
by the explosion which occurred. He was
sitting in room in which were several
other members of his brothers family, and
so close was he to one OF them that the
blood from his hand flew into the face of a
little baby next to him. Although the
accident is severe one to the one who
caused it, still it is miracle that no one
else was hurt. DIR. Palmer was sent for
and amputated the lacerated fingers, and
the patient is now doing as well rs possible

A Point for Teachers.

Owing to the number OF fearful accidents
which are caused daily by the ignorance OF
children and older people, it would be well
for the principal of our public school and
the commander of the Military college to
give practical lessons showing their schol-
ara the danger of the different kinds of cx-
plosives. In this way many lives will be
saved and accidents avoided. In a number
of cases the parties finding caps belonging
to giant powder cartridges have not the
least idea what they are, and, like the boy
who blew his fingers off this week, begin
picking at them with pin, or even put
ting them in their mouths.
