An Alabama Idea.
Atlanta Journal.


''When I was in Alabama, between
Porter's Gap and Milleryille," said a,
gentleman living in Atlanta, 81 came
to a country place where man was
driving 10 or IL geese from a branch
toward a cotton patch. For Heavens
sake, said I, what is it you have on
the necks of those geese? Those are
gourds, full of water. I drive these
geese into that cotton patch and
keep them there all day wedding out
the cotton. There is no water in the
cotton patch, and ] have to give
them water in this way to keep them
there But how do they get the
water out ofthose gourds under their
necks?' They drink out of each 9TH
er's gourds. Each gourd has an
opening in the side SO that another
goose can put his bill into the gourd
and drink. IF you will stay here long
enough you will see it yourself T
waited there half a day to see that
performance, and finally ] saw. it.
The geese did just as the man sale
they would. When a goose cot
thirsty he walked up to his neighbor
and cody drank out of the gourdpn

Growth of the Postal Service.

1t is estimated at the Post Office
Department that the deficiency in
revenues of the postal service of the
fiscal year just closed will be about
"a. 100000. Last year the defcien-
cy was something over $5,5oo,ooo.;
Owing to the cheap rates of POSTAGE
especially for newspapers, the bulk
OF mail matter has increased at such
a rate that the cost of the service
has grown immensely. The force of
employees, especially in the large of
fees, is taxed to handle the quantity,
OF matter that comes daily pouring
IN. In some instances the newspa-
pers are not sent to the postoffice at
all but are weighed and stamped at
the office of publication by some one
authorized to do the work, and the
bags are sent directly to the depots.
Ii this were not done, it is stated
that some of the large post offices
would be overwhelmed, and that it
would be impossible to handle all
the matter with any dispatch or ac-
curacy. 1t is thought by the post
office officials that the statistics for
the year just ended will show larg-
er increase in the number of letters
mailed. At present England is the.
greatest letter writing nation in the
world. The annual ratio of increase,
in this class of mail matter is much
greater in this country than in Eng
land, and, if the present rate con-
tinues, in a few years the United
States will stand at the head as writ
ing more letters per capita than any
other nation. The bulk of mail mat
ter, or the number of pieces handled
by the United States Postal Service,
is now greater than any other coun-
try, but this is mainly due to the ex-
tensiye circulation of the neWspa-
pers.

Thomas H. Wilson, OF New JERSEY

Thomas Eel. Wilson, OF New Jersey,
has patented a set Of false teeth so
fierce of aspect that when inserted in
the mouth Of a lap-dog they will
brighten the worst case of tramp out
of any neighborhood. Mr.. Wilson'S
brother has improved slightly upon
the invention by arranging an alarm
III the rear of the teeth, taking up
very little room, and SO fixed that
the mere process of opening the
mouth produces noise which cannot
be distinguished from the roar of a
lion, SO that in case midnight ma
rauder should be unable to see and
be frightened off by the teeth, the
stimulation of a growl would send
lin speeding out of the state.

Judge Wallace, of the United
States Circuit Court for the District
ofNew York, has just handed down q
decision thatis of interest to brokers
who are accessories to speculation
with the funds of bank depositors.
The case in question was that of the
receiver of the First National Bank,
of Albion, N. Y, against a firm of
Wall street brokers, who helped the
cashier of the bank to getrid of near
~ $150,000 of the depositors' money
A jury rendered Judgment against
the firm for the full amount of the
money paid to them and Judge Wal
lace sustained the verdict by denying
the motion for new trial. The de-
cision is based upon the general ac-
cepted legal principle that no one
has a right to accept money for an
agents debt which he knows to be-
long to the agent himself This de
cision simply serves notice upon
brokers not to monkey with the
money of bank depositors, no mat
ter how willing rascally cashiers may
beto risk it in speculation.

1t seems that the Standard OH
company and the leading beef ship
pers who use their own cars have an
advantage over their smaller com
petitors. They are able to evade the
provisions of the state law and
obtain great concessions from rail-
roads. A bill has just been intro
dueed in the house providing for an
amendment to the Interstate law
fixing a penalty on both carriers and
shippers for hereafter making con-
tracts for the carrying of freight in
cars owned by the shippers. If the
bill becomes a law another form of
discrimination will be removed.

OF Al inclusive of Stewards. Seventeen of
these having been saved, thirty-eight of the

Heavy rains have fallen in the vicinity of
Memphis, Tenn, during the past three days,
and still continue. Telegraph wires between
Memphis and New Orleans have been pros

obtained. The local storm was of unusual
severity, and swept over Cofeeville Miss,
doing considerable damage, and if the pres
emit spell of weather continues much longer
very serious damage will be sustained by
the cotton crop. Reports coming in show
that rains have been general and disastrous
IN their nature. In the vicinity of Vicksburg
and Yazoo valley the rain fall has been IN
precedented, and serious injury to the cot
ton and corn has esulted
An easterly gale has prevailed for some
time at New Orleans with ftfI1l o1Jsts of The

down, trees were uprooted and the coal fleet
of the Pittsburg and Southern combination
suffered severely. Fifty boats are known to
have been lost. They were valued at So 900
each. The Louisville & Nashville and Hi

outs. Great damage has been bone to rice

Evangelist Moody advises young
men who desire to be revivalists to
start out as book agents and study
human nature. Brother Moody
means well, but he evidently doesn't
realize the full import of his well in
tended advice. Eyilcommunications
corrupt good manners, and the young
book agent would be sure to hear
more yariegated styles of pyrotech-
meal profanity than would be good
for his future career as reviivalist.
