A Suggestion to Busy Men.

A statistican has computed that the av-
erage business man spends 37% eight hour
days at luncheon, 292s at breakfast and
Asa Mt dinner every ycar--that is, he
spends one-third of his entire life at the
table 1t is suggested that this time might
be economical by hiring some one to read
to him while he is eating. The business
man who spends his mealtime thinking
and planning over his business probably
would find this profitable experiment,
not so much because of The improvement to
the mind, but because of the distraction
and consequent rest that it would give.
The best way to occupy ones mind during
meals, however, is in pleasant, light con-
versaton, nor should anybody consider
time SO spent wasted But, speaking Of
hired readers, u better plan can be follow
ed through the perfection of the phono-
graph. This instrument will havo reached
its real stage of general usefulness when
person can set it going during his meals
or at any other time when his eyes are &C.
cupiod and his mind at liberty and have
ths latest novel, the daily newspaper or
the current magazine read to him from it.

Has Proved a Failure.

Columbia, S. c., June 20.--The report
of State Liquor Commissioner Nixon
shows that the state liquor dspensary
although enjoying a supposed monopoly
backed by all the force of the states
courts and arms and enforced with de-
voted energy by its creators. the Till
man-Evans administration. has, in
nearly two years of its operations not
only failed to pay a profit, but lacks
$4,000 of reimbursing the state the $780,
900 which it advanced in 1892 to start the
business. Commissioner Nixon says In
his report that the large profits reported
by his precedent in office, Mr. Traxler, as
having been earned, were incorrectly es-
tmated by counting in unearned profits
on unsold liquors and making no allow
ance for prospective losses. He de-
scribes the system of taking stock EN-
ployed for the first eighteen months as
improper and unbusinesslike. In con-
clusion he expresses the hope that by
next February the dispensary will be
out of debt. If, however, the United
States courts continue to protect inter
state sales of liquor to private consum-
ers il is expected that the receipts of the
dispensary will be greatly reduced while
its expenses must be maintained.

there has been a great deal of trouble

postoffice. and not only have Selmans
felt it, but every point having mail pass

that people living along the Mobile and

Hearing of this trouble inspectors
Whiteside and James of the postoftice

ago to, il possible. locate the leakage.
They kept a sharp lookout and their sus-
picions rested upon Richard Young, the
driver of the mail wagon. This morn
ing bright and early they secreted them
selves in the mailing room, in the rear of
the postoffice, to see what they could
see. At o'clock Young came in to
bring a lot of pouches and canVasses,
which he had hauled up from the depot,
and as the clerk had his back turned
Young took occasion to extract several
packages from the box into which pa
pers and large packages are dropped
from the street. He secreted the pack

searched, and quantity Of goods, which
1t is supposed were extracted from the
mails, were found, such as cheap jew
