The Munich Gagette says start
ling discoveries have been made in
connection with the attempt to
blow up the statue of Gcrmsnia
last September. The plot was the
work OF a well orgaized band of an
archists, and its object, which only
narrowly failed of accomplishment,
was the assassination of the Empe-
ror, Crown Prince, Imperial Chan
ccllor and other royal and notable
personages. A perfect mine Of ex-
plosivcs has been discovered under
the pathway over which the impe-
rial procession passed. Heavy
rains ruined the powder train and
prevented terrible slaughter.
1t may be interesting to the low
ers of coffee to know that in New
York and vicinity there is an active
industry in converting cheap Mara
caibo and Guatemala cotfees into
more valuable Java by the aid of
adulteration. The dull, greenish,
l~ustreless hue Of the cheap berries
is made to resemble the glossy
yellow color of the Java by heat
ing and CLOSING with gum arabic
water, and coloring with arsenic,
lead, chrome yellow, prussian blue,
yellow ochre, lumber, venetian red
and lamp black. 1t has been pro
yen that every cup Of coffee made
from the colored beans contains
onc-sixtconth Of grain Of arsenous
acid, a most virulent poison. In
buying tear and coffoes, deal with
none but reputable groccrs on
whom You can rely, if you value
your health and life.

Lower Postage.

From the Las Vegas Optic.
The lower the postage the better
the people like it. The latest
change in the law permits, not only
newspaper publishers, but every
body else, to send newspapers
through the mails at the rate Of one
cen, tor every four ounces. The
new rate meets with universal APP
p,oval and the officials of the post
Office department believe the re-
duction which has been brought
about without any noise will be
even more appreciated when the
fact becomes generally known.
Almost any cight-page paper, by
the old rate, would require two
cents postage, and the annoyance
TO business men, and the public
generally to afiX sufficient stamps
and yet not lose too large a sum by
overpayment has been very great.
a newspaper, when the postage is
not fully prepaid, invariably found
its way into the p~ostoffice waste
basket, and knowing this fact, the
sender, of a newspaper which he
was especially anxious should reach
its destination, always had to pre-
fix sufficient postage stamps to in
sure its delivery. 1t was not like
a letter which is sent so long as
one rate of postage is paid. The
newspaper must be prepaid in full
or it does not go. Under the new
rates almost any newspaper, includ-
ing a good sized supplement, may
be sent for one rate. The next re-
farm most called for is the reduc-
ton OF the limit of weight on let
lers from half an ounce for one
rate to an ounce. While the bulk
of the letters carried in the mails
average less than halt an ounce
each, now and then one is encoun-
tered hat weighs more than that
limit, and an extra charge is col
lected, which with the time con-
sumed, and labor required in afix-
ing "due' stamps, etc, does not
yield enough revenue to make 1t
profitable to the department, and
it would be to the advantage of all
concerned were the limit extended.

Our ancestors drove oxen as a usua

In meeting Il wagon each drive
