Paper, SOC.
a very sensible book, for it discusses
plainly, yet with delicacy, the physi-
Ology and hygiene Of the sexual organ
izatin. After describing the com
mon sex principal in plants and ami
mails, the author enters upon the dis
cussion of conjugal love, heredity and
the use and abuse of the sexual pas
sion, and other topics which seldom
find place in a volume for general
reading. His work cannot fail to
have good results, for his suggestions
are wise, and the information he fur
nfshes should be known by all."-

1T tells the story every father
wants to tell his son, and every mo-
ther wants to tell her daughter, and
which both defer too often because
they hesitate to approach so delicate

articles that have accumulated at the
dead-letter Office attract the attention
OF many. 1t Is a curious mixture of
the elements that is represented, the
grotesque mingling with the horrible,
and tender sentiment jostling with the
CHASTITY evidence of tragedies. Dick"
who had written to Dear Hattie" a
love letter on n board the size of
single, may have thought it sad his
letter was not delivered. Perhaps he
intended it for public perusal, that the
whole world might know the depth of
his ardor. If so, his wish was graft
fed. A human skull grins gleefully
from corner Of one of the cases.
False teeth. stuffed alligators, birds
eggs, wedding cake, and case of coins
are among the articles that were sent,
but never delivered. A recent arrival
is box with a family of horned toads,
alive and hearty, TO judge from their
movements There are pistols, snakes.
watches and other jewelry, an osd tin
coffee-pot, and a withered human ear
1t is a strange collection, but typical
( of the human mind.
A relic of the days when the frontier
was terrible is shown in plundered
mail sack, with dark stains showing
where the blood of the carrier had
flowed when the Indians had killed
him.
On p destal, under glass. is ex-
hibitad the ledger of benjamin Frank

back to period that antedates not

Foreign nations have made splendid
showing in the postotIice department at

lncoagruous Names.

Verbal consistency and the eternal
fitness of things have met with small
respect at the hands of those who
have had the bestowal Of geographic
cal names in this country for the past
century. The early settlers we're
content either to accept mu-
steal Indian names where they found
them or TO repeat the geographical
names of those countries they had
left behind, but the map of the
United States now is a memorial to q
thousand things in which the people
Of this country have little or no in
tcrest A few sample inconsistent
cies are Soudan as a village name
in Mississippi, Walhalla as the
county seat OF Oconee county, South
Carolina Nevada as the name of a
county in Southern Arkansas, where
snow must be rare sight even in
the coolest winters; Freeport in West
ern Nebraska, miles from navigable
water, and Fairhaven in Northern
Kansas, equally removed from any
thing that could be called q harbor.

Picke. Wire River.

There is stream in Colorado called
Picket Wire river and it derived its
name in this way: Years ago, when
the first gold fever drove men wild,
party of Mexicans made their way
up the stream in search OF the precious
metal. Months passed, and when the
little band did not return their friends
mourned Them as dead, and called the
FL Rio de los Animos Perdidos (thc
River OF the Lost Souls). Soon a
French colony made its home on the
banks OF the stream, whose name was
freely translated into lie Prrgatoire.
Then came the American cowboy.
He saw the river, heard its name.

tongue dubbed it Picket Wire river

In the suburbs OF great cities an

its object the recovery OF the solder

In consequence the formerly despised

Under the present system OF street

These dumping docks are the
principal source Of supply for the

The furnace Is an old soap boiler,
into which few sticks are thrown;
the bowl is then filled with cans, a
quart of kerosene poured over them
and ignited.
The heat developed by the oil is
not great enough to attack the tin,
but melts the solder, which flows to
the bottom of the bowl The solder
recovered from a load of cans
averages forty pounds. After the
process is completed the tin-plate
scrap il sold to make what is called

Into large open vat containing
waste ac.d. acid ferric sulphate, sui
phuric or hydro chloric acid, the
scrap is thrown and allowed to re-
main until the tin is stripped from
the iron underneath; more scrap and
metallic iron is added until the solu.

preparation of stannatcs or other tin
compounds and by dyers
The iron plate is relied into balls
for melting, the ferrous suiphate
purified and sold as commercial cop
peras, and the remaining acid is
used in repetition of the process.
