Cupid's Postomce.

Throngs'of hurrying people were has
tening along one Of those great thor
oughfares which traverse the metropdii-
tan heart. The white glare Of the cleo
trio light cast a corspe-like palior upon
the varied cnuntenance Of the scurry-
ing multitude. A reporter stopped at a
tobacco shop which was quite like the
majority of Its kind. The tomahawk
of the figure at the door bore the iegeu-
ed, "TlI hit you real hard.n Through
the curtained doorway could be heard
the twinkle ofa mandolin. A muffied
form went In. IL was a briganhish
figure. capped with a cylindrical hat.
The reporter heard the salutation and
answer:
"Buenas tardes, Senorita.n
"Buenas tardes, Senor."
Within five minutes the brigand reap
peared and a brace of letters which he
had clutched In his gloved hand were
there no longer. The reporter ventured
tn open the door and found himself in
the peristvle of Cupid's crosst0wn
temple. The presiding priestess was
dozing upon divan behind the ciga-
rette counter. Above her hung a case
with numerous pigeonholes filled with
perfumed letters of the hiIlet-doux kind.
It was a "quiet" postoffice. and the
senorita, was the post-mistress. Men
came and went, bringing letters, Ieav-
ing letters, wreathed In the same made
to-orier beatific smile and all pronounce
ing in the very same manner "bupnas
tardes," which was the password. Sud-
denly secret door opened from the
H., af h. ank Il.
which the dubious shop was situated.
"Alma mia,' murmured the young
lady who entered with heavv tragedy
accent and well-developed Delsarteau
sigh. "A letter. Rosie, or die"
A letter was produced, for Rosie never
disappoints. her paying customers.
TranquiIized. the young woman drew
her veil tightly across her face. She
had noticed the stranger. Then she
asked of the senorita:
"How long since hubble was here?"
San hour ago." was the distressed
response.
"Have you any more of those dear
little cigarettes?" she articulated, and
after pocketing q package or two the
young woman was off with a rush.
The reporter asked the postmistress
how business was.
"Madre di dos" was the reply.
"Thanks to the ever increasing pro-
geny of fools, business is good. and the
holiday season as vet not at hand. l
get a dime for every letter delivered,
and am so popular among my patrons
that-well, the 'perquisites are not in
considerable"
Then the reporter was permitted to
examine the letters. Some were writ
ten in Fifth Avenue script and some
from Hoboken or thereabouts. Some
bore the name of well-known club
and others came from where the abort.

The recent morta ity among eminent

The recent morta ity among eminent
American statesman is the more re-
markable because Of two facts that are
apt to be overlooked. Within three
months the four most notable deaths
have been those of Democrats, Hen
dricks, Mcclellan, Hancock and Sey-
nour following each otherin rapid sue
cession to the tomb. Moreover, each Of
the four has been considered by his
party in connection with the Presiden-
cy, three having actually been nominat-
ed, while the fourth, who was not
nominated for President, was chosen TO
the second office ofhonor in the nation.
II is seldom, indeed, that the grain
reaper cuts 50 wide and deep swath
among the great ofa nation In so briei
a space. IN. Y. Star.

Prof Horsford's Baking POwd er
Prof. fl. @. White, State Chemist


of Georgia, says: 81 have been familiar for
number of years with the general character
of Prof. Horsfords phosphatic preparations.
Recent examinations made by me of the
Acid Phosphate nd Baking Powder show
them to be exactly what is claimed for them
in the circulars accompanying the packages.
The Acid Phosphate is concentrated solu-
tion in water of acid phosphate of lime. The
Baking Powder is mixture of acid phos-
phate of lime, carbonate of soda and flour.
When mixed with water, carbonic acid gas is
soda is formed, and remains in the bread
when baked. In ordinary cream tartar bak-
ing powders the substance left in. the bread
after raising is rochelle salts---a double
tartrate of soda and potash. The phosphates
are useful mineral substances in animal
nutrition and growth, the tartrates are not.
In my opinion, the Phosphate Powder is,
therefore, preferable to the others, SO far as
healthfulnessis concerned" l mo
