An Adjunct to the Mail Service,

The employment of trolley cars to
assist in distributing the mails has
proved quite satisfactory in Brooklyn.
The part of the car reserved for the
postoffice is especially fitted up for
this purpose. The equipments of the
travelling postoffice are similar to those
ordinarily used. Several postal clerks
accompany the cars, and they open the
mail bags and sort and arrange the
mail on the route. The cars stop to
take on and let off passengers in the
usual way. They are run directly into
the postoffice yards to load or unload
the mails. In this work the trolley
lines are looked upon as regular mail
routes and are regularly engaged and
paid by the Government. 1t is prob
able very general use of this novel
plan will be made throughout the coun-

The Secretary Of the Interstate Deep
Harbor Committee, which some years
ago took hold of the project to secure
deep harbor at Galveston, reports that
the work is nearing completion. Two
jetties are built, having lengths OF six
and one eighth and four and one-quar-
ter miles. They now are over the crest
of the bar and are being extended SIM
ultaneously, with an excellent prospect
that the securing by ocean water will
keep the channel open after it has been
formed. The work will also result In
free docks and free railroad facilities
at point on the main land known as
Texas City, which is being built on high
land across the bay northwest from
Galveston The contract has been let
to q Chicago contractor to construct
for 100000 siXteen-foot channel from
the Texas City docks to deep water.
Another contract is let for dredging the
harbor area in front Of the Texas City
docks, which are to be improved 800
feet into the bay and $500 feet along
the shore. The total water front Is six
miles. The wharf improvements at
Galveston and the terminal facilities
now extant have cost upwards of ten
million dollars and other contemplated
improvements will cost several millions
more. A bridge company has been or
gained to build a bridge across the
bay to accommodate new roads desir-
ing to enter Galveston, this to cost a
million dollars, and it is proposed to
charge $3.50 per car for all traffic
over it.

searches out and steals upon the deer
or wild turkeys with his soft tread Of
moccasined feet. In the twang of his
bow string and the fight Of his whis-
Ting arrow there is no explosive sound
to alarm the creatures near the one he
has struck. He, like themselves, is in
sympathetic accord with the tints and
est, and while endeavoring to match
their craft against his, they are salts
fed with trying to avoid him without
abandoning the region where he abides.
It is when white hunters Of the
sportsmen variety invade it's haunts,
their presence heralded by the tread
of their booted feet, their clothes alien
in appearance to the hues and contours
of the creatures of the wilds, and their
purpose shown by the crack and fash
Of firearms, that game begins to mi
CRATE to other feeding grounds. Add
to this the increasing and indiscrimi-
nate slaughter for slaughter's sake that
characterizes the white mans hunting,
and it is easy to see why the depopula-
ton Of the forest and plain, when un-
restricted by law, is speedy and sure.
Ever since the adoption by Indians OF
firearms for their hunting, it has not
been found that large game has dimin-
ished materially in regions in which the
white man Is an infrequent visitor, al
though Sir Samuel Baker, the explorer,
asserts of African game and predatory
creatures that animals can endure
traps, pitfalls, fire, and every savage
method of hunting, but firearms will
speedily clear them out from the extern
sive districts"

An Ideal Arm.

Sculptors say that very few women
have arms that conform to the stand
ard. A perfect arm, measured from
the wrist joint to the armpit, should
be twice the length of the head The
upper part Of the arm should be large.
full and well rounded. The forearm
must not be too fat, not nearly as flat
as mans, for instance. From we'll
nodded shoulder the whole arm should
taper in long, graceful curves to a
well-rounded wrist It is better to
have an arm that harmonizes, even
if the parts do not conform to the
generally accepted lines. For instance,
a full, round upper arm which is join
ed to a fiat or thin forearm has q very
bad effect. Perhaps it is only little
worse, however, than a graceful, we'll
nodded forearm tackled on to a thin,
scrawny upper arm.

PeninsuIar Medals.

Coming to the great European wars
Of the revolutionary period, we might
expect a great crop Of medals for our
brave soldiers. But no; there are gold
medals for superior officers, but fol-
the die-hards Of the peninsular war
who often, by sheer hard fighting, re-
deemed the plumbers of their com
manders, absolutely nothing. AS fo1
the Generals, Wellington complained
that they were too thickly hung with
medals. There is splendid gold med
al for Mazda, the very finest of all
our military medals, of which only
seventeen were issued.
Talavera was acknowledged in gold
medals to commanding officers. And
Wellington suggests that only one
medal should be issued to an officer
and that future actions should be en-.
graved upon it. When four actions
had been scored, the medal should be
replaced by a cross to be worn at the
buttonhole; decorations worn around
the neck are "awkward to ride in, u

A New Word and Its Derivation.

The next revised edition of Murray
will contain the word "larrikin." It's
significance is peculiar and it's deriva-
ton amusing. A 'larrikin" is an Aus
tralian tough boy or gamin. He is Of
the peculiar strain Of depravity sure
to be found in land like Australia, the
logical offspring Of the convict outcasts
and the women that follow in their
train. He is said to have peculiarities
not to be found in any other tough boy,
and physical characteristics which
would identify him wherever found by
a student of the human race. For eX-
ample, the shape of his head is unmis-
taxable. He is plentiful in Australia.
He is depraved, lacking alike in men
tai and in moral health.
He was until lately without any indi-
yidual cognomen, but not long ago one
of the class was in court in Melbourne,
and the Irish officer who had him in
charge, being asked by the judge what
his offense was, replied: ''He was a
larrking, yer 'onor," with such a roll
ing Of the that the judge misunder-
stood for the moment and thought the
word was term applied to the boy.
Ever since in Melbourne the street
gamin has been spoken of as ''larri-
kim" and the word has passed into the
vernacular of Australia.-Me Melbourne

Powder Pufs.

The airy powder puff is heavy with
the lives of slaughtered innocents. It
is stated that as many as twenty thou
sand young swans cygents, as they
are called-are killed every year to
supply this dainty fluff, to say nothing
of innumerable young birds of the
elder duck and wild goose variety.
One cygnet will make nearly a dozen
average-sized puffs, which show how
many women must be, to greater or
less extent, addicted to the use of
powder. The puff trade is highly prof
liable, as may be judged from the fact
that the down of a cygnet costs little
more than % cents, the poor creature
often being plucked alive so that it
may bear another crop, while the puffs
are sold at from Is cents upward,
nicely mounted in bone, aud blue OF
pink satin, which adjuncts amount
to comparatively nothing.

The general color is Of yellowish brown
in the back and upper portions, with
white below. The animal is a type OF
grace and activity. Its limbs are long,
slender and delicate, terminating IN
sharp, knife-like hoofs, that are often
used as weapons, especially when the
antelope meets a rattlesnake. At such
a time the 1.-the animals are much eX-
cited and the one possessed of the

The willingness of the worm to turn
when too rudely attacked has become
proverbial. The panther has not been
accredited with the meek and lowly
disposition of the worm, but it is still
instructive to note that affronts which
members of the human family weakly
tolerate the panther fiercely resents.
Professor Cory, of Chicago, met a
panther in the wilds of Florida The
beast took to a tree and bore with
equanimity the clamor Of the profess
sor's dogs and the bullets Of the profess
sor's companions. But when the pro-
fessor trained a camera upon the cat
the self-respecting feline leaped upon
him and was with difficulty restrained
from making his professional chair va
cant. A little Of the panther spirit at
the seaside resorts this summer would
make Eastern society bellies regard the
New York Sunday papers with more
equanimity.

Indians as Hunters.

It is a remark often made by old-tim-
ers who knew the Western country
when the red man was as common there
as the tenderfoot is now, said sports
man from the Rockies, that Indians
never scare away game from region
in which they hunt. But, they say,
wherever the white man comes with
his firearms game is bound to be killed
off or driven away. These sayings are
true, with the qualifying statement
that by reasonable game laws game
can be preserved, and even when near
ly exterminated restored to almost its
original plentifulness in districts not
too fully occupied by man and his do
nestle creatures.
