UNITED STATES MAILS.
They May be Arrested on Suspicion Of
Smuggling Microbes aud be
Burned.


The State Board of Health will next
be paying a premium for microbe
scalps. Everything else has been re-
sorted to. Their latest effort is a very
good one indeed, that OF protecting
mail matter from infectious diseases.
This is the second time in history that
an attempt has been made to doctor
the United States mail. The first was
when party of Indians out West
gave the mail physic, to secure a
quantity of gold coin which had been
swallowed to prevent ROBBERY.
DIR. Probst, Secretary of the State
Board, was the first to discover that
by the licking of postage stamp
man might be kissing the mysteries
of the dark unknown, inheriting the
last sad relic of some departed broth
er, microbe or baccili. The doctor
thereupon proceeded to look after
the obstruction Of such heirlooms.
The questson was then sprung as to
whether the doctor had legal right
to disrupt this rendezvous of the mi
crobe and with impunity take the
last shirt which Uncle Sam possessed
and cast it into the devouring flames
for the sake of killing few of the in
habitants thereof.
The question was carried to all the
learned men of the capital city, the
State laws were thoroughly searched
but not information as to whether a
microbe when found in letter, reg
istered or otherwise, or a money or
der on postmaster, in postoff1ce, OF
any of the attachments appertaining
thereto, might be lawfully decapita-
ted or otherwise exposed to the wrath
of the State Board of Health
The authorities at Washington
were then consulted and after some
research an answer was received in
the affirmative. This was doubtless
because the microbe has no political
standing in q community, devotine
the entire time to social acquire
ments.
The doctor is now happy and here
after when a postmaster becomes il
with smallpox he will promptly lose
his job and all mail matter in his Of
| fee will be burned.

Another Captain Kid a treasure, ;,


A dispatch from San Francisco Civ.
ing the details Of an expendition to
the Cococos Islands near Costa Rica,
in quest of a huge treasure alleged to
have been buried there by buc-
cancers, would indicate that Captain
Kidd has a new rival in the field of
fable. The expedition was elaborate
ly fitted out by several men of ''large
means" shafts and tunnels were sunk
on the islands, and for four months
an Industrious search was kept up for
the mythical treasure. The provis-
ions then gave out and the party was
forced to return home without having
found a solitary trace of the supposed
wealth. Undaunted by this failure,
another expedition is now being
equipped for the same purpose. 1t is
remarkable that some men can any
longer be imposed upon by tales of
hidden plunder of pirates. In the
first place, these sea robbers only stole
to spend. In the next place the stories
of their vast acquisitions are mainly
pure inventions. Probably more
money has been wasted in hunting
for the mythical boards of pirates
than these long dead rascals ever ac-
cumulated while they were alive.

Don't Put 1t on.

The necessity of spring medicine
is universally admitted. This is the
best time of year in which to purify
the bloom, to restore the lost appetite,
and to build up the entire system, as
the body is now peculiarly suscepti-
BILE to benefit from medicine. The
great popularity attained by Hoods
Sarsaparilla, owing to it's real merit
and its remarkable success, has estab-
lished it as the very best medicine to
take in the spring. 1t cures scrofula,
salt rheum, and all humors, bilious
ness, dyspepsia, headache, kidney and
liver complaints, catarrh, and all af-
fections caused or promoted by low
state of the system or impure blood.
Don't put it off, but take Hoods Sar.
saparilla now. 1t will do you good.
