Missent Letters Can be RemaiIeI without
Additional Expense.
Two men stood near a letter-box in
Broadway disputing about sealed let
ter which one of them held in his hand.
The letter had been posted at an Office
in Virginia and carrier had delivered
it at an uptown address. In the mean
time the person to whom the letter was
addressed had left the city. The origi-
nal address had been erased and one in
distant town had been written belowit.
you will have to put another stamp
on it," said the stoutcr of the two men
to the one who held the letter.
That's possible, but my wife tod
me l only needed to drop it into box.
She ought to know about such things,
because she re-mails lots of letters Tat
come to the house."
"Why didn't she look after this one
them"
Because she wanted it sent from
down town so that it would get out
quicker"
"Well, if you post it without another
stamp it will not 60 at all. Women
don't knOW-about such things"
A letter-carrier approached the box
at that moment and an appeal was made
to him. He glanced at the envelope and
said: That needs another stamp be-
cause it is not city letter. If it were
going to another part O the city the old
stamp would carry it."
do you mean to say that this letter
would be detained at ihe office for post
age?"
''Well, perhaps they would send it
and charge the ezra postage at the
other end of the line, You had better
see the station agent about it. "
There" said the stout man after the
carrier had walked away, 'you see how
much your wife knew about it,"
Come on to the station and if she is
wrong | will pay for two cigars"
They went to Station A and the letter
was shown to the agent there. THAT S
all right" was bis curt comment.
But carrier has told me it would
need another stamp because it was
going out of the city again. "
The law nsed to be that way" the
agent said, "but it has been changed,
and every carrier ought to know it. Now
letter can be remailed as often as
necessary within the United States to get
it to the owner without extra postage.
The only limit is the number of changes
that can be made in addresses on the
face of the envelope. ~ Y. Tribune.

Punishment for Crime.

Several French papers have expressed
their surprise at the increase in the
number of murders during the last few
years, but the criminal statistics for
1884, which have just been published,
afford an ample explanation of this, for
they tell us that, though twenty-five
persons were condemned to death. only
three were executed. When it is CON
considered that, in addition to those
condemned to death, at least twice as
many were found guilty of wilful MUIR
der but with "eXtenuating circum-
stances" (Which makes it impossible for
the Court to pass the capital sentence),
it is apparent that only three out of
seventy or eighty murderers were sent
to the scaffold. 1t is bad sign, too,
that French iuries are acquitting larger
proportion of prisoners; and out of 3, 299
cases tried by jury last year more than
800 resulted in a verdict of acquittal.
This is equivalent to proportion of
twenty-four per cent, whereas ten years
ago the proportion was about seventeen
per cent, and half of the total number
tried at the assizes had one, or more
than one, previous conviction recorded
against them. zzSh gaales' Gazette,

An Old Art in a Modern Barber Shop

An Old Art in Modern Barber Shop
Seldom Resorted to in This Country.
A novel sight was presented in a
bathroom at Phil. Balzer's yesterday
afternoon, and was exhibited to num-
Der of interested customers of the shop.
An old German barber who keeps a
chair in the south end was coupling" a
patient. The process had, of course,
been often heard of, but never seen by
any present. The man upon whom the
art was being practiced was sitting in a
bathtub, and attached TO his skin were
no less than twenty-eight small glass
cups, which had been applied to all
parts of his body by the doctor barber
The skin had been cut or scarifed I'M
der each, and the blood was slowly
oozing out into the cups. The applica-
tons were made by eXpelling the air
from the cups by means of. heat, and
quickly pressing them upon the man S
person. The flesh was drawn up into
the cup by the pressure Of the air, and
the blood extracted by a sort of sue
ton.
"Cupping" was formerly part of the
profession of every barber in Germany,
and from it came the sign of the red, blue
and white pole the colors being sup
posed to represent arterial and veinous
blood, and pure health, respectively. 1t
was approved by reputable physicians,
though not when done to.such an ex-
tent as in the case of yesterday. TWAS
used mostly for local troubles, and not
for wholesale blood-letting. 1t is now
seldom done in this country, though
English doctors sometimes prescribe it,

fast as it accumulates, and that when it
gathers in quantities sufficient to reach
the sparks from the subterranean fires;
it explodes in the caverns and causes an
oscillation of the earth above. These
explanations are very plausible and gen

And hear the raging tempest blow;

Nor snow, nor hail, nor wild winds moan
Could chill the glow around them thrown
For then we were together.

The Invention of Paper.

How, when, or by whom paper was
first invented will never be known.
According to Hallam, documents on
paper are found as early as the tenth
century, and it came into use not long
after this era, and completely supplant-
ed all other materials which were
formerly employed for the purposes for
which it is now used. twill be observed
that the invention of paper of some
kind was an absolute necessity before
there could be printing, as parchment
was far to expensive to use for the pur-
pose, even were it otherwise perfectly
adapted to this use. The use of paper
in Western Europe dates from the
time mentioned, but it was known to the
Chinese long before the Christian era,
and it is believed that they used the
bark Of various trees, the soft part of
the bamboo stems, cotton and several
other kinds of vegetable fbers. From
the Chinese tits supposed to have spread
to India, thence to Arabia, and the manu-
facture was introduced into Europe by
the Moors of Spain, but about this there
is no certainty. The rice paper of the
Chinese is made in the same general
way as the papyrus of the ancient
Egyptians, by placing in proper order
layers Of iibers and cementing them
with sizing or glue The first patent
for paper making was taken out in
England in 1865, but it was 'for making
blue paper, such as is used by bakers. "
The next, for making writing papers.
was in 1878, and covered writing and
printing papers. Louis Globe DEM

CULTIVATION OF OATS.

The Wonderful improvements OF which
Thep lfte Capable.
Oats are capable of receiving won
derful improvements, both in quality
and quantity per acre. By selecting
the seeds with great care every season
and by giving the crop deep. clean and
rich cultivation, seventy-fve or eighty
bushels of clean grain might be raised
per acre by good management just as
easily as forty by the common system
of cultivation. Although oats absorb
coarser materials from the soil than
wheat or barley, there is no other kind
OF grain that will return better COM
pensation in an increased amount of
grain per acre, in consequence of the
soil being manured, than oats. Oats
flourish best when the soil is under
the highest state of cultivation. A
farmer may raise as many bushels of
oats per acre rs he reasonably
desires, provided he will manure and
cultivate the soil as we'll as it ought to
be cultivated. The most satisfactory
way of applying barn yard manure to
any soil for the purpose of increasing
its productiveness, when oats are the
principal grain to be raised, is to spread
and plow it under in late autumn rather
than in the spring of the year. In most
cases oats are allowed to stand too long
before they are cut. Most farmers let
the oats stand till there is not q green
head in the field. But as soon as the
chaf on about one-half of the heads has
assumed yellowish hue, then the oats
should be cut. There may be a few
heads that will not be out of the milk
at that stage of their growth, but if
they are allowed to stand longer, more
less will be sustained in shelling off the
early and dead ripe oats than there will
be in the shrinkage of those heads that
are in the milk when the straw is cut.
Early cut oats are heavier per bushel.
