The Post Office Departm ent.

OoL olilSO DSkC&l I'LL SAASs
By reading Post Master Gene eral
Wanamaker's annual report many in
teresting facts are learned. The num-
Der of post Offices of each class at the
close of the fiscal year Both of June,
1890, was: First class, 1O2; second,
SIT; third, 2,119; fourth 59,663; total,
62,4o1. The number of new Offices
established in 1890 was ,4O1; number
established in 1889, 2,77O.
In discussing the free delivery ex-
periments the postmaster general says
Congress, by joint resolution late
in the session, gave authority to Post
master-General to use $4,000 of the
annual appropriation for the free de-
livery for the purpose of ascertaining
in a practical way the feasibility and
cost of extending the free delivery
to small towns and rural districts. APP
plieations are now being received from
various communities for the benefits
of free delivery. The experiment will
be made in as many places as the ap-
preparation will warrant. In villages
one plan is to allow to the postmaster
sufficient money to pay for the service
of man or boy for one or two hours
per day, as the case may require. Those
who prefer to go in person to the post
office will do so as hitherto, but those
who can not get their daily paper be-
cause they can not go to the post-of-
flee every day for it, can have it de-
livered at their doors if they live, say
within a radius of two miles. In thin
ly settled rural districts it has been
proposed to ask the school teachers to
distribute the mails to pupils autho-
rized by parents and neighbors to re-
ceive them. No doubt dozen differ
ent devices can be tried to save the
time of the carrier.
1t is estimated that quarter of the
time of letter carrier is spent waiting
for answers to door bells. With view
of providing means to save time and
hasten deliveries inquiry has been
made for small, safe, and inexpen-
sive letter-box to be recommended for
general adoption. A commission of
five leading postmasters of the United
States were appointed and an adver-
tisement issued calling upon inventors
to submit models and devices with es-

EX-GOVERNOR THAYER MAY DIE.

His Attempt to Keep Boyd Out of Office
May Cost Him His Life.
LINCOLN, Neb., Jan. 10. The long
vigil of Ex-Governor Thayer during the
exciting scenes of the opening of the
legislature, when he remained in his
apartments eighty hours, for the pur-
pose of keeping out Governor Boyd, has
resulted in dangerous attack of nerv-
GUS prostration. The ex-governor is now
a raving maniac, and physicians say his
condition is alarming, owing to his age.
He is now 70 years old.
Deny Thayer Is Insane.
LINCOLN, Neb., Jan. 19.-At midnight
the editor of The State Journal tele-
graphs: just talked with Ex-Governor
Thayer's intimate friends, and they deny
the report of his insanity and say the re-
port is unqualiiedly false.

KANSAS CRY MUST SHRINK.
The Recent Extension Of the City Limit
Declared uIeval hxr the T.ourks

ghe Recent Extension Of the City Limits
Declared Illegal by the Courts.
ST. LOUIS, No., Jan. eo.--The Chroni-
cle's Jefferson City, No., spesial says the
supreme court handed down sixteen de-
cisions. The most important was the
famous Kansas City extension case,
which was decided against Kansas City.
A year ago the city extended its limits,
taking in twenty-five miles of territory.
The census was taken under this action,
and five aldermen were elected from the
new territory. The court held that the
proceedings were not according to law,
and that the extension was invalid. All
the city ordinances passed since the ex-
tension will be invalidated. The popu-
lation of the city is reduced about 15, 600.
1t will probably take twenty years to
straighten out all the legal difficulties
that viii arise under the decision,

Beware of Ointments for Catarrh that
Contains Mercury,
as mercury will surely destroy the sense
of smell and completely derange the
whole system when entering it through
the mucous surfaces. Such articles
should never be used except on prescrlp-

damage they will do is ten fold to the
good you can possibly derive from them.

Killed by Kindness,

A lady was walking along the crowd
ed streets of city when she saw a small
green bird flying wearily above the roar
and din of traffic. 1t was 80 tired it
gradually lessened its flight and soon
fell at her feet at the curbstone.
1t was some ones pet canary, escaped
from its cage. The lady picked it up
tenderly and carried it struggling and
exhausted into drug store, where she
inquired if its owners were known. The
drug store people did not know, and she
borrowed paper bag into which she
carefully placed the bird. Then leaving
her name and address she took the bird
with her and went on her way.
She walked some distance to call on
some friends, and when she arrived at
the house set the paper bag on table
and did not think of it until greetings
were over. Then she called attention to
her find, but the little, bright plumaged
thing lay dead, she having never once
thought of the necessity Of giving it air.
The closed paper bag had proved air
tight, and the bird was literally killed
by kindness.-Detroit Free Press.

South American Love Making.

Boutn American L0v0 MAKING
All the love making in South America
must be carried on through third per-
son. IF youth desires to marry he
does not speak Of it to the girl whom he
wishes for wife, but to his own father.
The latter, If he approves, goes to the
father Of the young lady and the two
discuss the matter together. Each tells
the other what he will do for the young
folks. and between them a contract is
drawn up respecting settlements and all
such things.
The intending bridegroom is not per-
mitted to see his fiancee for a moment
before the wedding. As soon as that
event has taken place there is wedding
breakfast, and usually without the for
mality of q preliminary tour, the couple
settle down to living, either in an es-
tablishment of their own or more often
in the house of the parents of the bride
or the groom.
One drawback about marriage in
South America is that in taking a girl
to wife it is apt to be considered mat
ter of course that the young man mar
ries her whole family also. He has no
occasion for surprise or disgruntlement
If, together with his bride, fifteen or
twenty people come to share his house
hold and domestic comforts, including
all her available relatives and their serv-
ants.
These Latins are very clannish race,
and father is apt to be willing to adopt
raft of sisters and cousins and aunts,
not to mention mother-in-law, rather
than have his son or daughter leave the
family roof. 1t is due to the strength
of family attachment among them that
hotels in South America are only for
strangers from afar; the natives always
find hospitable entertainment among the

with blood in his eye and anger in his

could not express himself except by ut

himself in the BARRIERS chair. was speed
lily enjoying the luxury of hair cut
and shave. After his mustache had
been curled to the young mans satisfac-
ton, he got out of the chair, put on his
hat and coat, and taking from his pocket
what the barber supposed was twenty
five cent piece, turned around to the
barber and insisted that he should go
out and have drink with him, as he
wished in that way to show his appre-
citation of the artistic manner in which
the tonsorial artist had manipulated
him. The barber firmly but courteous
ly declined the invitation, saying he
never drank during business hours.
"But," said the young man, "you have

one during business hours, through
friendship or for any other reason. Don't
you see the gentleman who is waiting?

"Well, call this downright insult,

shall never patronize you again.
There's your money" and throwing the
