far decay that they can be pulled out by
hitching chain around the top when
the ground is wet in tho winter or

NEW POSTAL NOTES.
They VIII be Ready for Issue-Descrip-
ton OF Their Appearance.

The first installment of the new postal
notes for Washington arrived in this city on
Wednesday, and will be ready for issue on
Monday. Each note is engraved on thin
bank note paper Of light yellow color, with
a distinctive water mark The dimensions
are length, five and seven. eighths inches, and
width throe md one.eight inches. 1t re-
quired three separate printings, an engraved
tint of light brown, upon which is placed the
engraved face of tho note containing tho neCes-
sary lettering in black. and upon the BACK OF
the note there is geomctrcal lathe work in
green tint. vignettc of the Goddess Minerva
adorns the face They possess the features of
having photographic designs miniature let
tering repeated u hundred of times. This Ia
q good and new idea. The notes cannot be
affected by the action of acids and agents
used for removing ink. No single note con-
tains the design intact, as it has been ar
ranged that parts only of each design VIII
appear on q single note, this enabling the ex-
act position on the sheet of paper TO be de-
tormined If necessary. Each design contains
the words, United States postal note" U.
$. i. ~" repeated many times, so small that
at first IL would bo hardly noticed, but each
letter is perfect The upper part of the un-
derlying tint under the words postal note,
is composed of winged wheels, with halo
running in all directions.
Tho notes. two on q page, are bound to-
gother in square books after the fashion of a
check book. In each volume there are 500
notes. When one is issued it is torn from the
book, leaving on the stub tho amount and
name of the person to whom II is sent and the
pOstofce address.
The work was done by the Homer Lee
Bank Note company, who have worked their
people twenty-five hours out of every twenty
four for the last two months, the paper hav-
ing been made with special designs, and the
notes engraved, printed, and bound i'll books
ready for issue in that time.
| There are $500 money order offices in the
country, and $4,000 books have been printed
to supply them. The stub is retained at the
issuing office as the only record of the notes.
Tho system will make revolution in the
transmission OF funds throughout the United
States, and will prove great convenience tC
| business firms,as it does away with the trouble
of procuring money order, is made cheaper
and furnishes an easy method Of mailing any
sum less than 50,
The notes have the advantages of banl
checks, and the paper being thin the presenc,
of money cannot be detected, rs in the cast
with silver, bank bills, or postage stamps.
The work is very nicely dono, and reflect:
| great credit on the Homer Lee company.

The Public schools.


Now that the opening of the public schools
is approaching, it is respectfully suggested in
behalf of the physical comfort and health of
the thousands of children who attend the
numerous schools, as of great sanitary i'm
portance, the absolute propriety of having all
the school buildings thoroughly ventilated
before the scholars are permitted to resume
their studies, for it is n we'll known fact that
the atmosphere of closed rooms of newly
plastercd and painted buildings is productive
of the most insidiously pernicious noxious,
odors and injurious gases.
The writer of this has frequently observed
that ever since the new school buildings
have been completed, not the least thought
or attention have been given in the import
ant matter of airing, ventilatng, and drying
the buildings during the prevailing fine
weather. Why have the honorable commits
sioners and the trustees been so very derelict
in the matter? j. S. G,

JACK COLE AND THE BABY.

In Relation 10 the Incident at the Insane
Asylum Some Weeks Ago.
Several weeks ago THE REPUBLICAN con-
tanned an account of poor Jack Coles assault
upon fellow madman who threatened to
kill child, to whom Jack was pouring out
his souls melody, in weird sea song, through
the grated bars of his prison home An aunt
of the baby, who witnessed the episode, was
prompted to writo the following lines upon
reaching home:
Dedicated 10 Jack Cole an inmate Of the Government
Asylum for the Insane
BY FANNIE r. II.
Suen he came and stern,
And gazed through the grated bar,
But his face frightened up like sunshine
When little child he saw.
The dimpled, winsome face, his reason seemed to
stir,
And murmured soft and low,
81 knew little baby once, but that was long
ago"
Our little baby clapped her hands,
And laughed with childish glee,
Come. baby, come' poor Jack said.
And I'll sing song to thee"
He was Just in the midst of the song, .s..
When a voice at his elbow hissed low,
"Ifl but had rope and knife
would take that baby's life."
From Jacks face the sunshine fed
And look of hate and vengeance IL wo
His buckled belt, from his waist he tore
Aud struck the speaker to the floor.
The noise attracted the keepers,
And they led the madman away,
But well not forget Jacks defense OF our baby,
For many and many day.
