POSTAL CARLO. s., City. The answer to the
questions, "To what extent may postal card
be used to notify man that he owes bill and
that an early settlement is desired? is it un-
lawful to state the amount of his bill and tell
him to come and settler" is that postal card
cannot be used for such purpose The United
States postal law prohibits the use of postal
cards for the purpose of dunning people. Such
prohibition has been in effect for a number of
lection agencies commenced to use the cards
for the purpose of notifying people that they
must come and settle.

THE RIGHT TO AssEss-M. L. B., Summit, Plu-
mas County, Cal. District Attorney Webb of
Plumas County is correct in his statement that
under the law of California County Assessors
OF the person claiming it, even If it is a home
stead claim, to which the Government has not
yet given a patent. The law says that the
County Assessors 'must assess the property to
the persons by whom it was owned or claimed,
or in whose posse ssion it was at IL o'clock
NJ. on the first Monday of March next
who is securing piece of land from
the Government has a possessory right of
the same, and that brings him within
the meaning OF the law. Many persons are of
the opinion that the assessment Of such prop
erty until the Government issues a patent is
illegal, but it has never been judicial1y so de-
clared

CITY OF CHEsTER-H. D. NJ, City, On the 22d
of August, 1888, the steamer City of Chester
left this port bound for the north, and after
passing Alcatraz Island entered fogbank.
Before the fog raised she collided with the
Oceanic, bound in from China. In q short time
the Chester sank and number of people, thir-
teen, were drowned The investigation proved
that both vessels were going too fast for foggy
weather, therefore, the pilot, Louis Meyer, and
Captain Metcalfe of the Oceanic and Captain
Wallace of the Chester were suspended and
their Licenses revoked The gross tonnage of
the Oceanic is 3S0S, length 40 feet, breadth
40 % feet, depth % a feet. She was built in
Belfast in 1871. The gross tonnage of the City
of Chester was HOG, length 2O2 feet breadth
33 2 feet, depth 10 - feet. She was built in
Chester, Pa, in 1873.
ILLEGAL CoNTRACrs.-T. A. F., City, If labor
ers should come here under contract from
foreign country and should succeed in landing,
such laborers could not legally be prevented
from leaving the State in which they landed
and forced to carry out the terms OF their con-
tract on the ground that they had not worked
out the amount OF their passage money and
money advanced, for the reason that such con-
tracts are illegal and the courts will not en-
force an illegal contract. 1t is probable that in
been frightened into belief that if they did
not remain at work until they earned the
amount advanced they would be sent to prison,
and under that fear worked until they mad
paid up what was demanded.

spools Of silk to match the sample put
in your pocket. Have you got it in your
pocket? Yes, here it is. Well, go to the

and tell her WHO it is for, she will
know just what you want, and now I
do hope you will be careful and not

and think Of it If you should fall and
break your leg. and you know your ac-
cident policy has ruiz out, and l do
hope you will not have q hard day at

your gloves before you start out, and if
you see the grocery man tell him to
change my order to chops, but not the
long stringy kind that he brought last
time, which I had to give to the cat,
for somehow we've got to keep our
market bills down this year, or else
what will become Of Us. and you know
the gas bothers US terribly. So if you
see the man don't forget to speak to
him, will you? Well, there. goodby,
darling. I shall be thinking of you all
the minutes Of the day while I am about
my work. Not for an instant will you
be out of my thoughts. Kiss me, dearie,

4 Prize Snake Story.

A most hideous spectacle was re-
vealed in a well on farm near Mon
ongaheia on Thursday. The well had
supplied the neighborhood with water
for a generation. The owner and his
son pumped the well out. One of the
men with a lighted lamp was lowered
to make an inspection. Half way
down he shouted to those above to be
hoisted, and urged them to haul away
for his life. He was almost paralyzed
with fright, saying that the well was
alive with snakes from top to bottom.
A light was lowered, and snakes in un.
counted numbers and of every con-
ceiyable size and variety could be seen
hanging from the sides and coiled in
the bottom. Lizards and toads were
also there in large numbers. The
people who have been using the water
have the horrors.
The owner of the well will try to
get rid of the snakes by blasting the
rocks around the well. Columbus

An Obsolete Emery Wheel.

Naxos, one of the largest and most
famous of the Cyclades Islands OF
Greece, has from tune immemorial
produced emery on large scale, but
times are changing and unless resort is
had to scientific engineering, the
glory of the place will have fled. Two
villages have had the monopoly of
emery mining, and have sent out daily
about 600 workmen who, in the most
archaic fashion, have set to work.
The rock has been exclusively broken
up by fire, the method being to clear
q space, pile brushwooi on it, light u
fire, and when the fire is dying out,
throw water on the glowing rock to
split it. Under such conditions only
the surface strata could be utilized,
but these are played out, and the sup
ply OF brushwood is played out also.
Experts who have been consulted by
the Greciau Government have recon-
mended the resort to systematic
quarry borin3s, the use of powerful
explosives, wire ropeways and other
familiar appliances. In the mean
time the Naxos industry is practically
at standstill, and other deposits
elsewhere have things all their own
way, because they are properly
handled. 1t is said that in the United
States the development of large corun-
drum beds in North Carolina is doing
much to modify the state Of the in.
