Onaosed to Bathing.

Pittsburg Dispatch: He laid down a package which he had just finished tying up and wiped his hand with the front of his vest He stood behind the counter of a South Side grocery store. His face was broad and red, and over flown with good-nature and pres piration. He looked as though he might weigh two hundred.
 "So you would like to see a man who is opposed to bathing, would you7 Well, here he is; take q good look at him. He is never sick. and never had a cold"
 "You don't look as though you would go into rapid decline soon."
 "No; I don't feel like it. I am 45 years old, and weigh 195 pounds. l am opposed to bath ing. If a man wants to open up the pores of his skin once or twice a week, and lay himself open to the attacks of disease, let him do It."
 How long ago did you discover this principle of hygiene?"
 If you mean when did I stop bathing, about ten years ago. Not entirely, mind you. I take light invigorator twice, just to keep my skin fresh, you know May be this is too often, but I find it agrees with me best. I get into a tub the 1st of January and again the 4th of July. Now you are laughing; but remember, young maa, I am older than you, and have had more experiences Did you ever see COW bathe?- No, l thought not. A COW re- frains from bathing by instinct, yet they are as clean an animal as lives. I merely take a rough tow el every night and rub myself down and change my clothes of ten. If the cholera comes here this season I think I can defy it I never had a contagious disease in my life, and yet I have attend ed to people who had the small pox and have been among conta- gious diseases of all kinds"

The last meeting of ex-Presi- dent Jefferson Davis and his Cab inet as body was in q large brick house at Washington, Ga., which stands on the site where Stephen Heard, in Revolutionary days, built fort from which to fight the Indians. The pen with which Davis signed his last order is now in the possession of T. NJ. Green, of Washington. It is a little strange that the ball of rev olution set in motion by MT. Toombs in Washington, should have rolled back to his own door for it's final explosion.

An article in the Popular Science Monthly calls attention to the prevalent deterioration of the hu- man sight in the present day, and holds that it is mostly due to the reading of black letters on white paper. This is said to be running the sight of the people of all read ing nations. Lord Bacon long ago said that the rays of the sun are reflected by white body and absorbed by a black one. Hence the shapes of the letters in an or dinarily printed book are not re- ceived on the retina by a sponta- neous direct action of that organ. The white surface of the paper is reflected, and the letters are de- tected only by a discriminating effort of the optic nerve. This eff fort annoys the nerve, and when long continued destroys its sus- ceptibility. The human eye can- not long sustain the broad glare of the white surface without inju- ". The injurious effects of long continued gazing on white ex- pause are well-known, as witness the prevalence of opthalmia in Egypt, caused by continued look ing on the vast areas of white sand in that country, and the snow blindness which afflicts trav- elers Tn the Alpine regions. There are many thousand of shades of the elementary colors from which paper manufacturers could select tints more agreeable to the eye and less fatlguipg than the dazzling white which is now used almost without exception for book print ing.

 Pittsburg Dispatch: A man en- tered the office of the Adams Fix
 press Company yesterday and
 placing @ small package on the
 counter said: "I want to send
 this to Auckland, New Zealand
 Whom can it go?"
 Without hesitation the clerk an- swered him and gave receipt for
 the package - which contained
 money-saying: T will forward it on the Philadelphia mail to- night" Curious to know how an express company could thus con trol delivery at such a distant point, the reporter sought out MT. W. H. Glenn, the superintendent of the company's business in Pitts burg, and learned the following facts in regard to the express bus mess:
 ''Yes, SIT, that is common oc- currence here. We have packages come in here for all parts of the world, and we give a receipt for them, no matter where their desti- nation may be, and we forward them by the most direct route, and have never yet failed to make a delivery. In one case which hap pened when I was in the East ern part of the country, a man came to me and said he wanted to ship a Bible to a missionary friend in South Africa. We took the package and forwarded it. Some weeks after be called to know if it had been delivered, and we sent out tracer We began by call ing up the various offices through which it passed after it left us, and finally traced it to our agents at Cape Town, in South Africa. Af- ter two months he wrote the home office that he sent the package out only to find that the consignee had been murdered by the savages, and his mutilated body was all they found. Did they deliver the book? Why, of course they did, and when the remains of the mis- sionary were brought home and the case opened the first thing that met the sight of the bereavel relatives in the case was a package bearing the legend: Adams Ex- press Office, New York, U. s. A
 "We will forward that package you just saw delivered to San Franciso, Cal, and there our agent will way bill it to the agent at Auckland. New Zealand, and Tn due tune 1t will arrive there by Pacific Mail Steamship Company's steamer, just as surely as it would go to East Liberty. Lost on the road? No. If our employees at tend to their instructions it cannot be lost, only through shipwreck, and then, if insured, we make good ! the loss.
 "We carry cats, dogs, mules, and | frequently valuable racing stock. We have taken lunatics and con victs, and any number of babies. ! In fact our messengers are broken | in on a milk bottle, and can dance ! a baby just like Q real woman Singular as 1t may seem, we carry l whole cities, too, having sent three train loads of ready made houses to a point in Texas. and followed l them with the worldly goods of l those who were to occupy them ! when built"
