A funny postmaster recently sent to
the Postoifice Department new set Of
Postoffice rules. They were:

incloscd, as large sums are lost in that
way.

up in the postmaster hand he cannot be
held responsible.
When letters are received bearing no

1t is earnestly requested that lovers

Mexican Dom estic Animals.

The ancient Mexican knew nothing of
the use OF beasts of burden. The llama
was wild and scemin gly undesirable for
domestic purposes. From the bison,
sheep and goat they derive little or no
benefit. The dog has always been a
favored animal with the .NIcxicans, and
has been used as beast OF burden to
carry their tents and draw their baggage,
as among the savage Comanchcs Of North
America. In the days before Cortcs
and his conquering hosts invaded the
Aztec Kingdom the natives kept only the
small, dumb dog, which they fattcned
for the table. The Spaniards introduced
horned cattle and horses, which subsc-
quently loaned wild, aud to this day
vast herds and droves occupy the plains
of Jalisco, Durango, Z.catccas and
chihuahua st. Louis Republic.

How Buzzards XIII Snakes.

ST once observed," said Lamarlino
Gibson to n st. Louis Globe Democrat
man, "what was to mo now and inter-
csting sight-that of hnlf-dozen buzz
yards killing q snake. 1t was years ago,
when lived ~ boy down on farm
near Sheboull, Ill. One June morning
sat on rail fence under walnut tree,
overlooking a field of growing wheat,
when ] observed high in the air two or
three buzzards sailing about, just as lazy
and delightfully."- smooth as ono could
imagine, around and around in circle.
1t was net long until several more arrived
and then l counted half dozen. They
drew nearer from over patch Of woods
and dropped near the ground in the next
heid. Here they circled about, every
now and then swoopipg close to the
earth, aud all at once arose with great,
black, wriggling cord that l at once
imagined must be snake. The buzzard
dropped the snake from about fifteen feet
up and then dropped right after it and
brought it up again. Jumped from the
tencc and ran across tho field over near
where tho battle, somewhat lopsidely,
was progressing.
The hall dozen buzzards were close to.
gether, taking turn about at the snake,
carrying it aloft and then dropping it
with deadly thud. I thought at the
time that snake could not stand many
TAILS like that, and so grabbed stick
and ran near to where 1t last fell. My
approach scared them away. One bird,
however, made swoop and gathered
the snake by tho back, but the beak
grip was not strong enough and the SER
pept fell to the ground. Preached there
before the bird could swoop again, and
stood guard over the remains. The snake
was stunned to death. 1t was consider
ably torn-a great, long black snake
fully five feet in length and one and a
half inches in thickness. | added Jew
blows with my club for assurance sake
and then walked away to see if the buzz
yards would return. They Ind assembled
high into the air, but they were still over
the spot, circling about, awaiting my de
pnrture. drew oil and sat down by
the fence. Then they came down. Ono
seized the reptile and sailed away, closely
followed by the other five. 1t was a
battle OF birds then, and in the scrimmnge
the reptile was frequently dropped. The
contest continued far over the fields and
out OF my vision"

Pcrfnnle Prom Pomneii..

A gentleman recently in this city, says
the st. Louis Globe Democrat, had
quite curiosity--a box of perfume
from Pompeii. The box was of marble
or alabaster, about two inches square
and closely scaled. When opened it was
found TO be full of sort of pomatum or
grease, hard but very fragrant. The
smell somewhat resembled that of roses,
but was much more fragrant. What the
perfume. was made OF cannot be con-
jectured now, but it is singular that men
in the Nineteenth Century should be able
to regalc their noses with perfumes pre-
pared in the first.

Auuaria For Hire.

You may hire almost anything in New
York, even to an aquarium stocked with
sea vegetation and strange creatures OF
the deep. The aquarium is an occasional
table ornament at feast, and is usually
hired for the occasion. The trade in all
the things that go to make up the
aquarium is growing one in New York,
and those who engage in this business
have taken to themselves the title
aquarist. You may have of these gentle
men almost any queer fish, ut prices
ranging from ten cents to $40 per speci-
men, together with any one of twenty
varieties of aquatic plants. -Chicago

Is 1t "Coal Oilgr

Tho ''averago man" (and you will find
him everywhere in the proportion of
about ninety. to onc) speaks of pc.
troleum-refnea--as "coal OIL" This
Is done primarily because of the general
impression that the oil comes from coal,
and that coal is of vegetable origin.
Biologists and scientists in general, how
ever, take different view of the matter.
To them tho oil is relic of past geo.
logical ages, as we'll as of animals that
lived when the earth was young. In ro-
ferring to the genesis Of .'coal oil" they
never think of 1t except as an animal oil.
They argue that the great upheavais aud
downfalls of the earth's crust, which re-.
suited in burying billions OF tons of
vegetable matter, which subsequently
turned to coal, also covered millions of
gigantic animals with hundreds and
thousands of feet Of sediment. This
sedimentary deposit, in the ages which
have elapsed since old nature was rackcd
With those rock.rcnding commissions
which biologists are so fond of telling us
about, have turned into great strata of
