tFrom the Scientific Americana
lriOSitieS of the Dead Letter Office


One of the rooms of the Postofice
Department building, Washington,
has recently been transformed into a
museum for the exhibition of curiosi-
ties that have accumulated in the
Dead Letter Office. The articles ex-
hibitad number several thousands.
and embrace everything imaginable,
from postage stamp Of the Confed-
crate States to snakes and horned
toads. A correspondent of the Even-
ing Post has been rummaging around
in this department, and he finds that
among the relics is a record of all the
valuable letters received during the
early days Of the postal service in the
colonies of North America. This
record is in the handwriting Of Ben
jamin Franklin, and shows that dur
ing period of eleven years only 365
letters containing valuables were sent
to the Dead Letter Office. The records
of the Department to-day exhibit at a
glance the enormous difference be-
tween the postal service of the pres
ent and of the early days of the coun-
try's history.
The number Of letters received at
the Dead Letter Office during the last
year was 4, ,2O7, ,496, or more than 49,
900 each working day. OF this vast
number, nearly 10000 contained mon
ey to the aggregate value Of upward
of $4,000; $4,000 contained checks,
drafts, money orders, and other pa
pers to the total value Of about So
100000; while $4,000 had Enclosures
of postage stamps. This vast amount
of mail matter was sent to the Dead
Letter Office because three-fourths of
the addresses could not be found; one
eighth were addressed to guests in
hotels who had departed without leav-
ing addresses; nearly 100000 were
insutticiently prepaid, and as many
more were either enormously or i'm
properly addressed Eleven thousand
bore no superscription whatever.
Wherever practicable, letters are
forwarded to the parties addressed, if
they can be reached in any manner.
IL they contain valuables, and the
sender is known, they are returned
otherwise the valuables are sold and
the proceeds deposited in the United
States Treasury. If letter-writers
would exercise an ordinary amount of
care, the majority of the work of the
Dead Letter Division would be dis
pensed with, and all the trouble and
annoyance Of losses by mail would be
avoided. But the business Of this
branch of the Postoffce Department
increases from year to year.

Memory.

A mans memory is like his stom-
ach. To do it's best work it must
have good treatment. It must Meth
er be neglected nor overloaded. 1t
can easily be so abused by neglect, or
by irregular and unsystematic en-
ployment, as to become chiefly a
cause of annoyance and discomfort;
or, again, it can be so overworked and
heavily taxed that it becomes practic-
ally the chief organ or agent of the
entire system; every other portion
dwindling in its comparison. The
latter course is the great danger Of
those who value the help of a tena-
cious memory.
Both memory and stomach are val
liable, not in proportion to the bur
dens they can carry, but in proper
ton to their training for their part in
the work of the system as whole
and either of them is made effective
as much by what is kept from it, as
by what is packed into its. S.
Times.

One Of the doors was open; but the
opening was too narrow to admit the
umbrella, Mr.. Lackwit, saying,
"Wait moment, Friend Stupid, open
the other door," thus entrance was eff
fected. Then they talk for several
minutes. By and by Mr.. Stupid ex-

All weakness and i'll health owes its
origin to an impure state Of the blood
and weakness of the urinary organs.
A medicine that will strengthen these
organs, and at the same time purify
the blood, will assist nature in curing
nearly every disease that human flesh
and blood is heir to. Such remedy
is DR.. Guysott's Yellow Dock and
Sarsaparilla, and, although it possesses
no cathartic or diuretic effect, its use
will soon establish regular habit of

kidneys, indicated by urinary sedi-
ments, nervousness. etc. 11oct2t

A Bad Mistake.

Last week we put the majority fo,
the prohibitory amendment at 53S.
Now let US figure little. The
largest vote was for Representative.
Jones and Hull, together, had 1904.
Now subtract the vote for the amend
ment, 1872, from 1904, and we have
2232, as voting against the amend
ment. Now take 2232, the negative.
from 1872, the affirmative, and it
leaves, as the real majority for the
amendment, 1140. Is this the correct
way to get the majority?
We suppose there will continue to
be difference Of opinion upon this
question. Just after we had written
the above, we received the Cincinnati
Commercial of Friday, in which we
find the following, agreeing with our
calculation above:
Washington C. H., O.,
October II, 1883
To the Editor of the Commercial Gazette:
Your many readers here will be un-
der obligations to you if you will an
swer the following question through
your valuable paper: The second con-
stitutional amendment received in
Fayette County 1872 votes, and the
total vote of said county was 1850.
Now, what majority has said amend
ment in said county.
MANY READERS.
In a county were 1880 votes were
cast, if there were 1872 votes for pro-
hibition there were 1878 against pro-
hibition, and the majority for prohi-
bition would be 1,794. All the votes
not for prohibition are against it.
But then come in some of the best
scholars in this county, and contend
that the basis of our first calculation
is correct.

A remedy that has proven itself a
never-failing cure for serofula and all
syphilitic disorders must quickly cure
less terrible blood diseases. DIR. Guy
sott's Yellow Dock and Sarsaparilla is
such a perfect blood purifier above
diseases even when Hot Springs and
all other treatment has failed. Re-
member, it is absolutely free from
mineral poisons, and will not injure
the most delicate constitution. Its
use will make you feel buoyant,
strong and well, and will rid your sys-
tenn Of all blood impurities and every
internal and external indication Of
disease. 11oct2w

A very slight error of fact or prac-
tice will sometimes result in a serious
mistake. This was recently illustrat-
ed in school in this city, where q
pupil who had been impressed with
out the force and value Of double
letters, such as double o. in STOOL"
double e. in "heel," ETC., was called
upon to read that touching poem ex-
hortatory to early rising, beginning:
up, up, Lucy! The sun is in the
skyI"
Surprise, which soon gave way to
hilarity, was occasioned when the pu-
pill read the line:
Double up, Lucy! The sun is in the
sky" thus giving it significance by
no means contemplated by the poet.
