Circnlars Must be Printed.

Assistant Postmaster Sapp says
'There Is a matter which concerns
business houses which should be
better understood. 1t Is supposed
by many persons that circulars
made by the mimeograph process,
whether the stencil is made by
hand or Ivy typewriter, can be
sent through the mails ut circular
rates. This is not the ease. Such
matter must 60 as first-class mail,
and takes full letter postage. We
have continued trouble with this
grade of mail, and when the post
master rules against any particular
firm, complaints are made to the
department al Washington. The
department hold that such repro
ductions resemble written or type
written matter to such an extent
that II Is frequently had to distin-
guish the difference. Only such
circumstances, therefore, as plainly
show that they have been printed
in the literal acceptation of the
word, are eligible for transmission
at less than the first-class rate"

Iron Pyrite IN Coal.

The mysterious and unaccount.
able explosions In many of our
mines, and which, in all cases have
been charged to the miner, has
been perhaps explained. Mr.. Jno.
l.. Moore, of Quincy, Illinois, writes
the following to the Scientific
american. "To.day while break
ing lump Of coal in my coal house
there was a very vivid spark of fire
and a strong smell of sulpher. Did
not appear to be anything in the
coal that would make clinker.

there must have been some flint in

an unusual state for coal, might

the cause of explosions in the coal
mines, rs it IL, sometimes that no
reasons can be given, but Is blamed
to the coal miner, when he is in
some cases, If not in the most of
them, blameless. This, 1t seems to
me, is a new course Of danger that
can not be guarded against. The
question is, how did the flint get

The answer given says: Your

piece of iron pyrites. Sometimes

pealed, as that section (4889) has
reference to the repair Of improved
or macadamized and graveled
roads, which have been appropri-

keep il up, or quit the whole thing,

course. Do you want trade? Bid
fer it. Do you want a prosperous
town where people can come who

do away with personal feeling,

work no more for few individuals
but all work together for a mutual
benefit. Wake up, rub your eyes,
