Advertising Letters Uncalled For.

WAsHINGToN, Aug. 24.-The Post
Office Department has under consider
alton a proposition to abandon the Gus
tom of advertising IN newspapers the
list of letters which remain nncalled
for The substitute plan is to place
the list on bullitin boards in the main
office, and sub stations where suoh eX-
iss. Last year the expenditure for
newspaper advertising of this charac-
ter.was about $4,000. This year Post
master General asked for an appropria-
ton Of SIS COO and First Assistant ones
asked for $15 900, total of $33, 900 TO
be expended in advertisieg for unclaim-
ed letters. Congress refused to give
Mr., Jones the appropriation for which
he asked, but increased the amount
asked for by Mr.. Bissell to $4,000.
Therefore, there is only this sum avail
able for service, for which $23 900 was
spent last year, and for which decid-
ed increase is expected this year. 1t is
not thought however that the bulletin
board plan will be seriously considered
by the department, as it is conceded
that the general public would not be
reached by any such method. Should
the existing system be abolished an
increased force will be necessary IN the
Dead Letter Office, the expenses OF
which will be even greater than the
problematical saving by resort to the
bulletin board system.

In no country is the government more
strict than in Germany. If foreigner
wishes to remain in town for some
days, he must take his passport to the
police and receive in exchange for it,
together with n siypenny piece, a per-
NIT card, which entities him to remain
there for six months. The passport is
pigeonholed. If, however, you desire to
change your lodging, both you and your
landlord must give notice to the police.
This system recommends itself not lit
tie, for it prevents pauper immigration.
No German is allowed to leave the
country unless he can show he has done
tho military service required of him. If
man is on the point Of starting, he
must delay his departure until he gets a
passport showing that he is a free man.
A most severe press censorship is cxer-
cised, and there is no free press like we
know it. Any derogatory remark relat-
ing to tho sovereign is visited with
heavy punishment, and frequently an
editor is at q total loss to know why his
paper has been seized. Foreign publica-
tons arc always scrutinized before they
are allowed to be circulated, and if there
is any criticism rejecting on the laws
Of the kingdom the paper is confiscatec.

How Needy Made His Money.

"Mr. Moody's money-where does it
come from?" some people have asked in
connection with his mission work and
his pushing of the Northfield schools.
Fabulous sums have been made by
successful authors through the publica-
ton of their works, but the individual
profits OF the greatest writer OF novelist
who ever achieved fame and fortune
would be insignificant to what has been
derived from little by book called
Gospel Hymns and Sacred Songs" by
d. L. Moody, P. P. Bliss and Ira D.
Sankey. Millions of hands have turned
the pages of this little volume, and mil
lions of voices have rendered praise
from it, Publishing firms, both in Eng
land and the United States, have made
magnificent fortunes from the sale Of
the work, and the receipts grow larger
every year.
The enormous sum of 81, $50, 900 cash
has been paid in royalties to the inter-
ests represented by Mr. Moody since the
book was first published, 20 years ago.
The sale of hymns is said to have
reached tho wonderful total of 10000, :
600 volumes. The price Of these books
has ranged from 5 cents up to $1.25,
but whatever may be the selling price
Mr.. Moody has received the uniform
royalty of 20 per cent. Boston Record.

Building a House In Bermuda.

Any man who chooses may scrape the
thin coating of earth off from his pro-
posed building site and proceed to lay
up the walls of his habitation with the
cavating his cellar. Thus when the cell
lar is dug the house may be ready for
roofing, and if enough roofing material
has not already been accumulated in the
course of the excavation it can easily
be had by digging the cellar a trifie
deeper, for the roofs in Bermuda are in
variably made out of thin slabs of this
same white coral rock. 1t has the adj
vantage of being SO soft that one may
cut it with an ordinary handsaw 10
hours a day for six months or year
without refiling the saw. 1t may be
sawed into slabs or inches thick and
IS inches or . feet square without par
ticular danger of breaking the slabs. 1t
looks somewhat like very soft, chalky
variety of marble. Though SO workable
when first quarried, it hardens upon ex-
posure. Moisture permeates it easily,
however and it is desirable that build
ing should be covered with thin coat
ing of portland cement or mixture Of
common plaster with cement. The coat
ing is then treated with a heavy white
wash made of lime burned from the
same ever ready coral rock. The roofs
and chimneys as well as the walls are
kept constantly whitewashed and are
absolutely as white as the driven snow.

plain country gentleman had engaged a
pretty coquette for the next dance, but
gallant yachting captain coming along per-
suaded the young lady to abandon her pre-
vious engagement in favor of himself. The
other, overhearing all that had passed,
moved toward card table and sat down to
game of whist. The captain few min
utes afterward stepped up to the young
lady to excuse himself, as he was engaged
to another he had forgotten. The coquette,
much chagrined, approached the whist
table in hopes to secure her first partner

Tho shades of night were getting ii

on stocks. There is nothing frivolous Oh
Tightly about Brown or Jones'
Suddenly there came q swish Of
feminine skirts, skurry Of bicycle,
and through the darkened air a shrill
wall faltered, "Oh, won't You please
help me?" Then q bicycle at full till
sped across the street crossing, and
Brown and Jones stared at each othei
aghast.
"O-o-ohl" half cried the voice Of the
disappearing rider.
''What in thunder does she want help
about?" gasped Jones.
"She wasn't tipping overr cried
Brown.
Her wheel was all right"

With one wild gush of alarm two cigars
were flung to destruction, and two repu-
table citizens went sprinting down Lake
avenue. Never since their college days
have Jones and Brown made a running
record like the one credited to that
nights performance, with a movable
goal for an object One block, Q blocks,

With an extraordinary squirt, Brown
and Jones caught up, grabbed the han
die bars and stopped the wild progress
of the modern Flying Dutchman.
"What" = began Jones. How
gasped Brown, who was stout and un-
pleasantly conscious of something ride

Jones coughed. In her excitement
the distressed lady was reposing against
his shirt front. 1t was q fresh shirt

"Shall we get you started for homer"
queried Brown, who always had pres.
ence of mind.
"Oh, if you would'' said the dis

citizens put her On her wheel, turned it
around, pushed her half block and
saw her disappear in the darkness, leav-

protests and EXPLANATIONS in her wake.
Stiffness fell over Lake avenue.
Brown and Jones stuffed their handker-

each other meditatively. Suddenly
Brown went into commissions. He
grabbed Jones' arm.
How he suffered, ''how, say, is
that fool woman going to stop when she
does get home?"
Then they sat down on the curbstone

how to make the wheels stop going

Blue Jeans will be seen for the first
time in Savannah tonight. The play
needs no Introduction to the theater-going
public 1t is as widely known as almost
any play on the stage. 1t deals with the
quaint and interesting people of a rural
district in Indiana. In the third act the
interior of u saw mill Is shown with
genuine and swiftly revolving steel buzz
saw. 1t is in this scene that the heros
life for a time is despaired of, as a desper-
ate character in the play knocks the hero
senseless, throws him across a board and
desperately forces the board toward the de-
structive machinery. While this act and
its representation on the bill boards tends
to create the impression that the play is of
the highly sensational and realistic order
this is not the case. II is play dealing
with country life and sympathetic in it's
character. For a long time Lawrence
Hanley was identified with it and made
much of his later success while with the
company. The play will be seen here to-
night and two performances tomorrow
at a matinee and night.
