,areless People Make Work for Govern
ment Oaicials.
During the fiscal year 1SS9-9O the re-
,eipts of the dead-letter Office were
some six and half million pieces, be-
ng an increase of $4,000 pieces. or
per cent. over the preceding year.
During 1S90-91, while it appeared from
estimates of the quantity of matter dis
patched through the mails that there
vas an increase in letters alone of over
$50, 900, 900, the increase to the dead-let-
ter Office was but 81 900 pieces, or Az
per cent.
During the year just closed, although
the general volume of the business and
operations of the service have ap-
preached = per cent. in excess of the
previous year, the usual and even ordi-
narily expected increase has not only
disappeared, but the gratifying fact ap-
pears that there was a decrease of over
IS, 600, or nearly per cent in the num-
Der OF pieces sent to the dead-letter
office
That the mistakes of the public.
which in so many instances prevent

reaching its intended destination and
which embarrass and thwart delivery.
continue to confront the service, NAV
De attested BY the increase of over IL
per cent in nnaddressed letters alone.
While the quantity of matter sent to
that Office has for years taxed and
pressed the clerical force provided to
it's utmost capacity and efforts, re-
course to extended and increased hours
of labor have at times become necessary
to meet the requirements of thorough
and most efficient service and the dis
position of accumulation and arrear-
age of work. During the past year,
however, without any increase of force
and wholly within the daily official
hours Of labor, the Office had its work
at all times well in hand and practical
ly up with its current daily receipts.
The report of the dead-letteT Office
for last year showed that the work had
only been disposed of by recourse to
extra time, and that over 100. 900 letters
in excess of the previous year were re-
turned to writers. The report this
year will show the work of every
branch up to date and an increase of

Drlgnt as new, ana IL was put JogeJner
again. For few days it did much bet
ter; then again began to get fractions.
For half an hour at time it could hardly
be induced to give any flame at all; then
it would mount higher and higher. and
send up three long banners of smoke
Then, at other times, it would vary the
entertainment by swapping and crack
ing like bunch of small powder crack
erS
At length it became utterly unbeara-
BILE in its freakiness and the crisis
came. It was Saturday morning, that
morning of all in the week when
things should go straight but seldom
do, and affairs were progressing with a
smoothness and regularity that made
Mrs Bee happy. The bread and pies
were baked and standing on the table
to cool; the vegetables and meat for
dinner were ready and awaiting their
turn, and the oil stove was burning
charmingly. It neither hickered nor
smoked and gave enough heat and not
too much.
Now, why any one should be cruel
enough to take that time on Saturday
morning to call is hard to tell, but true
it is that some one knocked and Mrs.
Bee went to the door, after casting a
glance around the kitchen and satisfy
ing herself that all would be well till
her return. There was Mrs. Doolittle
come for chat on the weeks gossip.
So they sat on the veranda-that being
the coolest place-and were soon deep
in many condolences
p11ki IN oh fov ra:nnfan %haro
wild hubbub and commotion in the
kitchen, and an instant later out rushed
little Bobby Bee, black from head to
feet, and shouting at the top of his
voice, "Oh, mamma, mamma, the stoves
on fre?' Sure enough the stove was
blazing. How iron can burn I'm sure
kon't know; but that whole stove was
one whole mass of fire. The covers
were blazing, the doors were blazing;
the oven was blazing, and each flame
and point of flame terminated in a
stream of thick, black, oily, heavy
smoke that did not quietly sail away
out of the open windows and doors,
but settled upon and stuck to every
thing and penetrated to the most re-
mote corners of the house.
When at last the fire was put out,
after much burning of fingers, they all
looked at each other and around the
room. They were black; shiny, greasy
black. The floor was black; the walls
and table were black; the bread and
pies were pasted with black, and every
part of the house was found on inspec-
ton to be speckled and smooched with
black; and Bobby Bee, depressed by the
unusual density of the atmosphere,
moral as well as aerial, set up wall that
adequately expressed the feelings of
that hive full of Bees
The wonderful oil stove now stands
in the shed in ignominious disgrace,
and if any one should chance to want
an oil stove for experimental or other
purposes, that one is obtainable on APP
plication to the Beehive for very
small sum.-Providence Journal

A Useless Animal.

A Detroit man who takes great de-
light in his possession of horse that
can go in 2:3O, was hailed by a friend
the other afternoon while he was rap
idly driving along Jefferson avenue.
81 can't STOP" he sung out, "Pve got
to catch that $50 train
About half an hour later the friend
met him again.
Hello" he exclaimed, 81 thought
you were going away on that $50
tramp
II was, but missed it"
The friend became grave.
''Why don't you sell that horse?" he
inquired.
What do l want to sell him for?"
asked the owner Indignantly.
For anything you can get"
''Come off! What do you mean?"

Moorish Slavery.

1t would do those good who write
passionate articles on Moorish slavery
to see the well-fed, lazy slave of Wazan
lounging in the sun, kiff-pipe in mouth,
and scarcely doing a stroke of work
from weeks end to weeks end. The
most ordinary English kitchenmaid
would accomplish in couple of hours
what a Wazan slave does in a week. All
are free to come and go as they pie ase,
but none avail themselves of this free
dom. The reason is not far to seek. In
Wazan they are fed and clothed by the
shereefs, and on holidays and feast days
receive presents of money. Thus all
the necessities of life are found them
without their having to work for them,
which otherwise they would be obliged
to do. Nor is it only the necessities of
life that are thus supplied to them free,
but they are given each his room to live
in and married at the expense of the
shereefs to slave women. Their chill
dren, by law slaves, are not necessarily
SO, and are often apprenticed to work.

When Charlemagne and his " Knights Of
the Round Table were making war ON the
Saracens, in Africa, it frequently happened
that Knights on either side would fight in
single combat for the honor Of their re-
spective armies. The Saracens had been,
for many years, the scourge-the dreaded
invaders-of Europe, and all waged war
against this common enemy.
But in these days the worst scourgs that
threatens us, is that dread invader, Con-
sumption.

A DOMESTIC EXPERIMENT.

The Wonderful Oil Stove, and How 1t
Worked for Mr.. Bee.
They are advertised far and near, Of
all kinds and styles, of single wick, of
many wicls, with ovens and without
ovens, labor-saving, coal-saving, and
above all else, temper-saving; but the
advertisers always forgot to add that
sometimes, just by way of variety, and
in very cowardly way, when every
one is out of the room, they belch forth
as much smoke as an average soft-coal
factory.
Mr.. and Mrs Bee, a progressive
couple, seeing a wonderful oil stove
advertisement, decided to try one for
use in their country cottage, and chose
an excellent article, about two feet
high, with three wicks, a top with COW
ers, and good-sized ovenz-in short,
with everything necessary for cook
ing
What time there was to get that oil
stove into the country. It had to be
packed and sent down on the train; and
Mr.. Bee went to the city just to come
back on the train with il, to be sure
that it arrived in perfect condition, and
Mrs Bee, and all the little Bees, were
on the platform to welcome it. Then it
was carefully taken home in the carry
all, and set up in the kitchen, where
the all-absorbing first trial took place.
And 1t burned equal to the highest ex-
pectatlons, clear, bright, without a
Kicker and odorless. And such bread
as it would bake, and now it would
broil a stake! There never was its
peer.
So the summer went on. in peace and
confort-for a while. But after a time
that ei. stove began to reveal its true
nature 1t didn't burn well, and scent
ed the house with the keen odor of kerr
osene Said Mr.. Bee: 1.-THE stove needs
cleaning. The draught is partially
stopped and the burner clogged." So
they took it to pieces, and Mrs Bee
