U. 9. Official Postal Guide just Pu b.
iiShed.

The report of the Postmaster General
just issued, states that nearly $4,000, 900
in checks, drafts and money, reached the
dead-letter office during the present year
through improper addressing. Probably
double this sum has been lost through
delays and accidents resulting from care
lessness in mailing and correspondence.
To reduce these errors to minimum,
the Government issues the United States
Official Postal Guide, Is an annual num-
Der published in January, and monthly
supplements, book of 934 pages, con-
tanning three classified lists Of the $4,000
post offices in the Union, together with
postal rules and mail regulations. Every
merchant, wholesale dealer and profes-
sional man having correspondence, wi
find the Guide indispensable. 1t is also
Of great assistance to lawyers, printers
and others in translating illegible writings.
No establishment where care and accura-
cy are observed as rules, is complete
without it. The price of the Gaide in
paper is $2.00; in CLOTH $3.50.

A Tramp's Ingratitnde.

SCoTTDALE, Penn, Feb. 10. During
the absence of John Robinson, farmer,
and all his family but Daisy Kaine, a
15-year-old niece, an unknown tramp
entered the house and asked for some
thing to eat. While the young girl was
preparing the meal the tramp seized her
from behind and bound and gagged her.
He then searched the house, but finding
nothing valuable, demanded that the
girl show him where the money was
secreted. Upon her refusal, he drew a
large knife and cut off her hair braids
close to the head. With the remark
that that was what she got for her inn
pudence, he left the house. When the
family returned the girl was still bound
and gagged. An armed posse were soon
searching the woods for the tramp, and
threa Of summary vengeance are made
if he is captured.

The Time to Eat.

There has been n good deal of discussion
as to the best time for eating certain arti-
Giles of food. For instance, we are advised
not to eat meat late in the day, not to take
fruit just before retiring, and to avoid tea
and coffee in the evening if wakeful
night is not desired.
Men of mature years and good stOmachs
are not devoting much time to studying
these questions. They will tell you that
watermelon never tasted better than on a
dark night when the dog was chained and
the owner Of The patch was sleeping after
the weary labors of the day.
Apples never were so sweet as when an
entrance was surrcptitiously effected into
the rear end of the orchard and the invader
punished the stolen fruit with an assur-
ance that the proprietor was not within
eyeshot. Cakes, pie and preserves were
eaten whenever the eyes of watChful and
solicitous parents were temporarily off
duty. Green cUCumberS We're Struggled to
bed and eaten in the still watches of the
night, while raw turnips were generally
enjoyed on the top of a stake and ridered
fence.
In those days it was the custom of boys
to eat what they most enjoyed, when they
could get it, and to get it when they could.
Stomachs were not run according to any
time table, and yet good many hearty
men can look back with pleasure to those
youthful indiscretions.-De Free Press.

A HeInfuI ENnerience.

1.-THE years that had spent in learning
the trade" said wealthy retired stove
dealer, had left gloomy impression on
me. Then, as now, almost everybody that
had Il furnace that needed fixing up put
off attending to it until the last minute,
and then they all wanted the work done at
once. OF course most of them had to wait.
and those who had to wait growled. 1t
seemed as though the world was full of
GROWERS. At twenty-one | was in danger
of becoming a misanthrope, but | was
saved from that by n new experience.
About the first call had after starting
in business for myself was from a school.
The furnace had broken down suddenly in
midwinter The school was closed while
the repairs were being made The break
ing down of the furnace fairly delighted
the children; their only regret was that it
wasn't more broken down, 50 that it would
take longer to fix it. OF course it was per-
fectly natural that the children should
look at it just as they did Nevertheless
it was il pleasing incident: and beyond the
mere amusement that it afforded me at the
moment it yielded this more substantial
benefit awakened me to the fact that
the way in which things appear often de
ponds very much on how you look ut them.
In this happier fri$nc of mind discov-
cred that besides the GROWERS that | had
happened to meet there were in the world
plenty of thoughtful and considerable peo-
pie, and that one needed only the right
sort of eyes to be able to see good points
even in the man that got cross about his
stoycpipe New York Sun.

New YORK Herald: James G.. Blaine
has declared over his signature that he
will not be candidate for the presi-
dency in the approaching battle of the
parties. This eliminates from the polit~
icsl campaign very important element.
So far as the republicans are concerned i,
may be said without fear of contradic-
ton that they have lost their strongest
man. BY all odds Mr. Blaine was theiI
most available leader. AS to the demo
Gratis their shrewdest opponent has re,
tired from the field. They have large
number of men who can certainly win
against Harrison, and who ought to win
against Blaine. If they handle theiI
forces with skill and enter the contes;
with 8 strong western man. it will be
their own fault if they fail to carry the
day, for the great bulk of the American
people in all sections of the country are
with them.

Ashes on Cigars.

Few men protesting to be judges of fine
cigars know anything at all about smok
ing them" remarked a cigar dealer. The
ashes on the end of the cigar serve to
retain the flavor, and should be permitted
to remain as long as possible. Then the
constant humping some smokers give
their cigars in the attempt to keep them
clear of ashes often causes the wrappers to
break. and that also lessons the pleasure of
n good smoke"
He also added: Never buy ten cent
cigar; let it be Il five or fifteen, or even
more, but a ten never. The ten cent cigars
are made of the leavings of higher priced
cigars and are never long filled, while the
five cent cigars are manufactured from Il
first class second grade goods, are long
filters, and, us Il rule, good smokers, unless
the purchaser is unfortunate enough to
have 'two-for' put on him for II five cent
cigar. "-EXchange.

bama the other day set fire to his cotton
and then committed suicide Another,
scoring the miserably small sum that
was offered for his cotton in the neigh~
boring market town. dumped the cotton
into a stream from the middle of bridge.
As the Republic has frequently explained,
the moving cause of these acts of des-
peration is the Mckinley tariff which
forbids England to exchange its manu-
featured goods for the products of the
southern cotton fields. 1t is this en-
barge upon trade that has sunk the price
of cotton to the present ruinously low

Hill as "a Leader.

NOnneCtlCul CGtnOliC.
The recent democratic victory in New
Yerk state is the most brilliant political
triumph of modern times For almost y
generation the legislative branch of the
state government had been republican
twas easy enough to elect democratic state
officers, but owing to the borough system
of representation maintained by the re-
publicans and their prevention of a reap
portionment, it seemed impossible to
make the state democratic in its execu-
tive and legislative branches. Cleveland
tried it and failed. Hill tried it and
failed. Then Hill tried it again and
failed again. But he tried it again and
succeeded. The brilliant victory of last
November is due more to the advice and
efforts of Hill than any other man. When
the republicans tried to steal the senate he
stood in the breach and prevented
it. When their organs and the
mugwump press tried to drive him
out of Albany before the end of the
term to which the people had elected
him, be wasn't to be driven. And wher
the court Of appeals decided that the
state senate was democratic, and it was
made clear that at last after many years
of effort, New York state was democratic
both in its executive and Legislative
branches, it was made apparent why Hi
had remained at Albany. The sneers oil
the mugwump organs and the abuse OF
the republican press were silenced. Re-
suits had spiked their guns
1t was apparent that the New YORK
democracy had a leader who knew how
to lead. 1t was evident that the mos
skillful political general of modern times
had guided the party through tortuou:
path to the summit of political posses
sion. 1t was clear that the leader who
can lead which is the crying need of the
democratic party in the ration, was a.
hand.

AN Ohio paper tells a story of two
young girls who were recently travelling
on train in that state. As the train
stopped at station, two ladies entered
and took a seat in front of them; then q
stout lady came forward and greeted them
and kept up lively conversation until
the train started. Then one of the two
said: sit down hear near US and tel
those girls to sit somewhere else" So the
stout lady turned and said, in free zine
tones: Il wish to converse with my
friends, and would like that seat. l an
Mrs. President r of this road" The
girls stared at her an instant, and then one
of them drawled: Pleased TO meet you
I'm sure. suppose you know am Mrs
President Harrison, of Washington.
The other girl. settling herself conforta-
bly, in her seat said: "And I am Mrs
Queen Victoria" Neither OF them moved
and Mrs. r. had to 60 back to her OWL
seat
