IL Brought the Answer.

Among the stories Of extraordinary CO.
incidences, not the least curious is the
history Of a letter. A short time ago an
English lady wished to write to friend
in America whose address she did not
know. The only means she had Of pro-
curing the address was to write to mu.
tual friend, who also lived in America.
This she accordingly did. and the letter
was duly dispatched. The ship which
carried it was wrecked, and the mails
for a time lost. They were eventually
recovered and brought back to England, ,
the letters, now much damaged by sea
water. being returned through the Dead
Letter Office to the sendsrs. The letter
in question was sent back to the lady,
who naturally examined it minutely. To
her surprise she found that another letter
had become stuck to it Holding up the
two-fold missive to the light, she deci.
phered the address on the one which
stuck to her own. 1t was q letter ad-
dressed to the friend 20 whom she
wished to write, and to discover whose
whereabouts her own letter had been dis.
patched. Her letter thus literally brought
back its own answer.

People should Not s,..p rors,h.r.

Persons often ask: is it healthful for
two persons to sleep in the same bed?"
This same question is varied thus: -Is
it healthful for an aged and very young
person to sleep together? II not, which
suffers most, the aged or the young per-
SOM" We have often answered these cues.
tions by saying no TO the first question.
1t Is always unhealthy for two persons
to sleep together in the same bed and
under the same covers. The air under
the bed covers Immediately surrounding
the body OF the sleeper is exceedingly i'm.
pure, becoming more and more impreg.
mated with poisonous substances escap-
ing through the excretory glands OF the
skin from the moment the person rstires
until he arises. The odor OF the bed
clothing, after having been occupied for
night, Is often positively offensive to
the nostris Of a person with an unim-
paired sense Of fsmell-espscially one who
has just come in from outdoors, where
the fresh, pure air has been breathed.
The poisonous character Of this under
the-bedclothes air would be somewhat
more likely to affect the susceptible con.
stitution Of child than that OF an adult.
In elderly persons the amount Of the i'm.
purities in the air Surrounding the
sleeper must be greater than in younger
persons; consequently, while both per.
sons would be more or less injured, the
proportion of harm would doubtless be
greater to the young person than to the
person OF more advanced years.
Mr.. Trevss of the London Hospital has
called attention to the fact that wounds,
especially Of the lower limbs, heal much
sooner when exposed to the open air, in.
stead of being covered by bedclothing.
lie remarks that the air under the bed
clothing is foul and almost hot and hence
likely to be very harmful to wounds
with which it may come in contact

lIlecibie Ad,lresses,

When posting a letter it is an excellent
plan to read the address carefully, lest a
mistake has been made in writing it.
II people would cultivate habit Of doing
this, nine-tenths Of the present errors
due to deficient or erroneous addresses
would be prevented. At "a desk in the
museum rooms Of tho Dead Letter Office
at Washington sits clerk whose duty it
is to deciphor Ilesible 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 y written directions.

before Dakota had matured into State
hood. 1t was found that Fargo was tho
only pOstof,ice 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: "AIr.

He mails his letters in the New Haven

which the person addressed could not

read as follows: Postmaster, please de.
liver this letter to my son, who works on
the railroad. Ho drives a yoke Of red
oxen and a railroad passes through his

discount in some parts Of this country,
and that painstaking on the part Of cor.

becoming time-occupying pursuit.

The junction Of noses is so general, and
described as SO forcibls in Africa and
Oceanica, as to have given rise to a fan
ciful theory that had occasioned the fat.
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 or rubbing, but of mutual smell
ing. 1t is true that travellers generally
call 1t rubbing, but the motion and pres
sure are sometimes no greater than that
OF the muzzes 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 /
am happy nowl" The Calmucks also 60
through suggestive pantomime of
greeting, in which they creep on their
knees to each other and then join noses.

only equals mutually rub their noses.
The inferior rubs his own nose and
smells the superior's hand.
