next instant his nose pushed above the

He was ten feet long il an inch, and

so POSTMASTERS ARRESTED.
CONSERVATION in Connecticut-One
Way to Increase Salaries.

CONSERVATION in Considerations
Way to Increase Salaries.
Fifty Connecticut country postmasters are
in scrape Warrents for their arrests have
been given and the affair has created con.
sternation among the accused and their
bondsmen. The warrants are based upon A
violation Of the postal law by selling stamps
on credit. Why they should be willing to do
this needs word of explanation. Postmas-
ters of the smaller country offices are paid
salaries based on stamps cancelled Their
pay is cent for cancelling the 1-cent stamp
used on circulars Hence their pay euuals
the value Of the stamps received from the
government and charged against their ac-
counts. If they can get ANYTHING ad-
ditional for looking after the sending
out Of circulars it is, therefore, clear
gain. Business firms sending out cir
culars in large quantities have been found in
this system a way of less ening their postag
bills They send the circulars to the post
masters, requesting them to mail them and
send their bill As his pay allowanc, for
cancellation covers the cost of the stamps a
postmaster feels that he is taking no risk
and he stamps and mails the circul,rs and
forwards his bill. If new to the scheme he
is likely to send bill for the full value of
the stamps, with charge for services An
his bill cut down. But the new hand would,
and just such case where postmaster re-
ceived only so per cent. of his bill and
talked about it to his friends resulted
in an expose. The matter came to
the ears of Special Agent Bario Of
the postoffice department. who began an in
vestigation. and discovered that the business
men at the bottom of the scheme belong to a
firm of archi ects in New York city. They
had been negotiating with over IS postmas-
tiers in the rural section. and about 80 of
them were willing participants. The circu-
lars advertised their building plans and
architectural publications. and it has been
ascertained that 276, 600 of these have been
mailed by the accused postmasters to all
parts of the country. This represents s2760
worth Of stamps used, but the government
didn't get dollar, because, as before ex-
planned, the p sim 'sters received the whole
for their allowance for cancelling the
stamps
Agent Bario ascertained that the New
York firm has thus far paid about 80 per
cent of the bills sent them by the postmas-
ters, The warrants allege the selling of
stamps on credit, which is a violation of the
postal law, punishable by fine of from $50
to 500 with Imprisonment. 1t is possible
that, in view of the big lot of culprits bag
ged on this sweep of the net there will be a
general compromise of the cases.

Cold Baths Very Beneficial.

II think that those who can take
cold bath every morning all the year
round derive a great deal OF benefit
from so doing" said well'known hos
pital surgeon to writer for the Wash.
iugton Star. "The effect OF the cold
water on the system is to act as nerve
tonic, and person OF strong oonstitu'
ton always feels a great deal better al
ter taking these cold baths. Then in
drying ones s,li the friction Of the skin
has another hea,thful elect upon the
nerves. Persons who are strong enough
to battle in the open air every morning
all the year, think, enjoy better health
than those who try to keep In warm
rooms and only take warm baths on
certain occasions. Their nerves are IN
better condition aud stronger; their skin
is harder and more healthlul and better
able to stand the cold, and their mus
cles are greatly strengthened by the use
which they get through the bather hav'
ing to move about in order to keep
himself warm while in the water To
persons of weak constitution or
nervous temperament, Of course, this
heroic treatment would be too severe.
They couldn't stand the sudden
sh ock to their system caused by
the plunge in the cold water. For such
persons tepid bathing is the more bene-
fetal. The water should be from 30 to
100 degrees in temperature. Some per-
sons cannot stand bathing nearly as
much as Others. To some persons water
has a firing effect upon the system.
These should only indulge in tepid
sponge baths at certain stated times.
For many diseases and complaints water
is absolutely necessary. But these &C.
casions can only DO ordered by n
physician after he has made study OF
the patients case. Turkish and Rus
sian baths are luxury to those who can
stand them. but only those who have
been advised by their physicians OF
whose hearts are in heaithful condi-
ton should ever attempt 10 take these
baths. For rheumatism and similar
complaints heat baths are very benei-
cial. and a great many persons suffering
from severe cold often find great relief
from Turkish bath. The general effect,
though, of Turkish bath on the system
is weakening, and for this reason alone,
if no other, they should not be Otter
taken. Sea bathing is particularly bene-
fetal to all those who can stand it.
don't know that there IS any harmful
result experienced through staying il
the sea water for whole morning, pro-
vided the bather keeps moving about, i
warm, and his blood is in good circula
ton. But directly one begins to fee
cold, or experiences a tired, langui'
feeling, then it is time to come out o
the water, and good brisk walk shout
be INDUCED in then, in order to get tn
blood into circulation again"

IMPORTING CHINESE WOMEN.
The Shameful Traffic Carried on in
San Francisco.

San Francisco.
The traffic in slave women has increased
to such an extent as to alarm Collector of
the Port Phelps of San Francisco, and he in
tends to break up the practice il possible.
The profit derived from the sale of these
women is something enormous. A woman
can be purchas ID i'll China for from 800 to
$500. She Is told that she will secure hus-
band in this country, and no opposition is
made to her departure.
She is sold at as high as $500, and is
placed by her owner in the disreputable
places located on the upper floors Of Chinese
buildings, where she lives a life of shame
with her associate slaves Through the
kinks and turns of the courts it is not diff
cult for the women TO obtain admit sion.
They usually are taught to swear they are
the wives of merchants or el . American
born. and once out of the officers hands one
might as well look for needle in a haystack
as to catch the perjurers in Chinatown
Prompt action on the part of the custom
house exposed the fact that a large ma jority,
IL not all the women claiming landing under
the prior residence plea, had been imported
for immoral purposes.
One importer, reputed to be worth $500,
900, was sentenced to San Quentin. Others
narrowly escaped similar fate, and large
number Of women who confessed to having
been purchased in China and imported here,
were sent back.
For time this horrible traffic was broken
up, no women at all arriving for four or five
months prior to the time that the Exclusion
act went into effect Now, however, they
are arriving in largo numbers

UtiliztiOn Of Running Streams.

The utilization OF running streams is
the object of many recent devices, among
which may be mentioned that of M. Tayn,
a Russian engineer. His apparatus con-
sists of an endless cable, carrying series
of canvas cones, which open and shut
like an umbrella. The cable passes over
double drum on board pontoon, and
at the other end over pulley suspended
from buoy. On the lower part of the
rope the cones are opened and forced for
ward by the current of water, thus set
ting in motion shaft or drum.--San
Francisco Chronicle

Lucky And UnluckY Days.

Superstitions regarding the days of
the week are many. The following
doggerel is an old Scotch rhyme, not
often quoted nowadays:
Monday for wealth,
Tuesday for health,
Wednesday the best day of all;
Thursday for crosses,
Friday for losses
Saturday no day at all.
In Judea, rainy day was always con
sidered unlucky for wedding. Here is
more doggerel regarding lucky and I'M
lucky days:
Born of Monday,
Fair in face;
Born Of Tuesday.
Full of Gods grace;
Born of Wednesday,
Merry and glad;
Born OF Thursday
Sour and sad;
Born of Friday,
Cody given
Born Of Saturday,
Work for your living;
Born Of Sunday,
Never shall want
So there's the week
And the end ont.
The idea of Friday being an unlucky
day is almost universal, and it is known
as hangman's day. In Scandinavia,
Thursday is considered the day of bad
omen. 1t is a very old belief that the
hair, like the nails, should be cut only
at certain times. There is another
ancient rhyme that reads.
r-;d,r o,,t ord crpdor shawn
Better never had been born.
Few persons in Iceland cut the hair
on Friday.
