IlIesible Addresses.

When posting letter it is an excellent
plan to read the address carefully, lest a
mistake has been made in writing it.
If people would cultivate habit of doing
this, nine-tenths of the present errors
due to deficient or erroneous addresses
would be prevented. At desk in the
museum rooms of the Dead Letter Office
at Washington sits a clerk whose duty it
is to decipher illegible addresses and to
rectify the mistakes in them. To Judge
from some of the specimens shown she
must bring her imagination to bear on
many of these blindly written directions.
If not, how could she divine that letter
addressed "Senatorine, Washington, t"
was intended for Senator Ryan, WASH
ington, D. c., or that "Mr James R.
under Wood gea banton Con Kan" was
intended for James R. Underwood, Gear,
Barton Co., Kansas; "St. Tullia" for
Centralia, or Calf Creek" for Buffalo
Creek? Some writers are decidedly sem
timental, for there is found BeauxviIle"
for Bowlesville. Others are fond of
British rhetoric, as "Eyewood, Hill
linoie, for Highwood, Ill. i; and large
percentage are illiterare, as exhibited by
John l. eads, opisiteon, torrance co.,
for John I. Eads. Opposition, Lawrence
Co.; "Saragordy Post Office" for Cerro
Gordo, "Seneki" for Seneca, and "Pagea-
way" for Padua. A letter recently re-
ceived was addressed to Dakota Terra
tory, Lock Box $685." This was mailed
before Dakota had matured into State
hood. 1t was found that Fargo was the
only postoffice possessing lock box of
that number in the then territory, and
the letter was duly delivered. Probably
two of the most unique specimens of the
"un-Lost Art" are the following: Mr..
Wilfred -, New Haven, Conn.-Please
delever this to the owner and obledge, as
do not know the last part of his name.
He mails his letters in the New Haven
Postoffice. This contains a letter that
belongs to this party" The other, of
which the person addressed could not
truthfully say after Dryden, "The well
come message made was soon received,
read as follows: Postmaster, please de-
liver this letter to my son, who works on
the railroad. He drives yoke of red
oxen and railroad passes through his
place" 1t would seem from these ex-
tracts that illiteracy is by no means at a
discount in some parts of this country,
and that painstaking on the part of COR
respondents is on the wane and far from
becoming time-occupying pursuit.

saluting With the Nose.

The junction of noses is so general, and
described as so forcible in Africa and
Oceanica, as to have given rise to fam
ciful theory that 1T had occasioned the fiat
tening of the noses of the people. But in
the accounts of many of the tribes of the
Dark Continent and of the islanders of
New Zealand, Rotouma, Tahiti, Tonga,
Hawaii and other groups, the essential
action does not seem to be that of either
pressure OF rubbing, but of mutual smell
ing. 1t is true that travellers generally
call it rubbing, but the motion and pres
sure are sometimes no greater than that
of the muzzles of two dogs making or
cementing acquaintance. The pressure
and rub are secondary and emphatic.
The juncture only means the compli.
ment, "You smell very good!"
1t is illustrated in the Navigator group
when the noses of friends are saluted
with long and hearty rub and the ex-
planatory words. Good! very good; I
am happy nowl" The Calmucks also go
through a suggestive pantomime Of
greeting, In which they creep on their
knees to each other aud then join noses.
as much as possible like the two dogs be-
fore mentioned. In the Navigator islands
only equals mutually rub their noses.
The inferior rubs his own nose and
smells the superior's hand. .,i

Musical Stones.

Twenty-Five large fints, suspended
harmonicon fashion from two parallel
wooden rods, and struck by two smaller
flints by way of hammers, constitute the
most curious of musical instruments.
The stones are not cut down to any par
ticular weight or form, but are virgin
flints of various shapes and sizes, rough
as when first dug out of mother earth.
The inventor, Frenchman, states that
it has taken him thirty years to perfect
his collection. When struck the fiints
give out clear metallic sound, like the
note of a very high-toned bell. Strange
to say, the note produced appears to have
no direct relation to the size or shape of
the stone, two of which are exactly alike
in weight, and yet there is more than an
octave interval between their respective
tones. Similar paradoxical relations
may be noted between others of the
series.

Iron shssts Very Thin.

A competition has for long time past
been carried on among the English iron
masters as to the degree of thinness to
which cold iron could be rolled. In one
case the sheets have been rolled to an
average thickness or thinness of tho
eighteen-hundredth part of an inch-ip
other words, eighteen hundred sheets Of
this iron, piled one upon another, would
measure only one inch in thickness.
And this marvellous tineness of work
may be more readily understood when
the fact is borne in mind that the great
number of twelve hundred sheets Of
thinnsst tissue paper measures slight
fraction over an inch. 1t also appears
that these wonderful iron sheets were
perfectly smooth and easy to write
upon, notwithstanding the fact of their
being porous when held up in a strong
light -. -4sss=ssy

The Soudanese troops are vastly inter

bling amiable gorillas in face, of all
heights and only one thickness, narrow
hipped, thin chested with no backs to
their heads and no calves to their legs,

The Dervish is their oppressor and
natural enemy, and they only desire the
opportunity to "get at him" at as close
quarters as possible. They are children

The Scotch Bey, however, was equal to
