AHiIukN - W
That makes the third man I've sent
away mad this morning. remarked a
clerk at the general delivery window.
HE called for mail addressed to his
wife, and we wouldn { give it to him.
We are not allowed 10, unless he has an
order. / tell you, il is an eye-opener to
many men to discover that their wives
have any rights. WHAT they will say
"a man cent get a letter for his W
wife without an orderl' NO, sir, it is a
rule of the department. And then they
boil with rage.
You see, most men are in the habit
of opening their wives letters. They
don't think it is wrong. Sometimes a
married woman wants to carry on cor
~respondence without having her husband
a party TO it, and to protect her rights
that rule was made. OF course, it is
none Of our business what her CORE
spondence is about II may be with her
relatives, lady friends, her lawyer, or
with an admirer. We don't know, nor
care. All that the department knows
is that she is a woman, entitled TO have
her letters delivered into her W
hands. If she wants her husband or
any other person to have them she can
write an order"

A w WEEKS OUTING


To lie Given tho Poor Children of New
York Food and Lodging.
Chicago rlmesl
One religious society in New York
has for years past sent a large number
OF poor children, and in some instances
their mothers, into the country to enjoy
an outing Of two weeks duration.
Board has been Sc ured for them in the
families of farmers or fishermen. The
children have been sent in small parties
under the care Of some competent
women, and their board and fare have
been paid by the association. In most
cases board has been secured for a cor
tain number of children for the period
Of two months, with the understanding
that a change Of boarders would be
made at the end Of each two weeks.
This season a different course will be
pursued. A few wealthy and benevo-
lent gentlemen have purchased several
acres of land near Roslyn harbor, on tho
north shore of Long island, a portion
of which is covered with forest trees,
and have erected comfortable cottages
and supplied them with everything
needed for housekeeping. There is one
large building which contains a laundry
and kitchen, a dining-room with tables
for seating seventy persons, and n play
room to be used during unpleasant
weather. 1t is expected that most Of
the work of preparing food and wash
ing dishes will be performed by the
boys and girls They will be lodged in
the cottages, in each of which so re
competent woman will remain. The
main building will be in charge of a
matron.
1t is the intention to procure most of
the food required for the establishment
from n~eighboring farmers and fisher
men; but part Of the ground next sea-
son will be used as a vegetable and fruit
gardens On June seventy poor
children win be taken to this delightful
seaside home, to remain two weeks. At
the end of that time they will be re-
turned to the city, and seventy more
viii go and take their places. 1t is the
intention to afford a two weeks outing
to about 700 poor children during tho

GRADUALLY the public is learning how
the balance of the appropriation for the
use Of the agricultural bureau at Wash
ington was reduced to the sum of thirty
eight dollars three months before
the end of the fiscal year. It was invest
ed in beat-no, beet seed. At least twenty
two thousand dollars Of it waa, and the
superintendent Of the seed division is put
ting in the spare time Of the employees Of
the bureau in stirring the seed TO keep
it from spelling. 1t cannot be distributed,
for nobody wants it, and it is doubtful if
it would grow if anybody could be found
foolish enough to plant ii.
The money was taken from an %appropria-
ton OF fifty thousand dollars designed for
chemical experiments, but what secret and
underlined relation exists between twenty
two thousand dollars worth Of beet seed
and the science Of chemistry, as practiccd
in the department of agriculture, is what
no n has been able TO explain.
1t is evident that something needs stir
ring in that branch Of our government be-
sides the beet seed. If the officials who
misapprorD ted so large n sum were
stirred by a congressional investigation,
the stirring would doubtless prove useful.
And while congress is investigating the
beet seed business, Il might be worth
while to try and find out whether the de-
partment has ever been of any use to any
body except secdsmen and dishonest Off
cials. 1t has cost the tax payers a mint
o. money, but the average man fails to see
who has been benefited by the %cxpendi-
ture. Ifcongress can find out It will per-
form a real public service.

The Indian herbal is probably the
most complete in existence, and native
literature is rich in works treating of
the properties of plants. Those who
are well versed in studies say that some
rare plants, the secret Of which is known
but to few, contain the most marvellous
properties. 1t is stated, for instance,
that there is one a little of which ena-
bles a man to abstain from all other

Taxing the Cats OF Old England.

Cats ought to be taxed. The dog tax
