The inquisitive clerk is every

periencewith him. One OF the genus
was called down" in remarkably
funny manner in West end drug
store recently. A tall, solemn
looking man came in and asked for a
half dozen siX-ounce bottles.
'Bottles?p asked the clerk.
Yes, bottles" responded the
man.
"With or without corks2" asked

with corks, was the response.
Want 'em empty2"
Certainly"
"And newp"
do you suppose want bottles
you've been keeping strychnine imp"
The clerk said such an idea had
never entered his mind, and then
asked:
What do you want them for?"
TO break, responded the impa-
tient customer, promptly.
"What?"
The customer beckoned to him to
lean over the counter and caught
hold of the lapel of the clerks coat
and whispered:
II wouldn't want the neighbors to
get onto it, but rather like to hear
'em crack. Just whim of mine.
It's better than breaking windows
and gives me just as much pleasure,
but my supply has given out and |
want few to hold me over until the
next car load arrives"
The clerk looked at the customer
doubtfully.
"Oh, well, of course; it's nothing
to me-" he said.
"Then what made you ask about
it?" demanded the customer.
The cleyk made no reply, but got
the bottles. AS he was making
change, however, the spirit moved
him to ask:
What do you do with the corks?'
''Chew 'em, was the reply. 'It's
good for the digestion. Try it some
time"
Then the customer walked out and
the clerk shook his head and tapped
his forehead, but he asked no more

MAILING A STAMP.
How II Can BE Done Without Trouble
or Discomfort.

or Discomfort.
How many people know how to
mail stamp in a letter? Nine peo-
pie out of ten stick it so carefully
down that the recipient always loses
him temper, and generally the
stamp in the effort to release it. 1t
is generally more exasperating than
when the sender forgets altogether
the stamp he should have inclosed,
for then, at least, it is not wasted.
Even the most extravagant of US
seldom have souls above saving a
stamp, for it is, strangely, far dearer
to US than the two cents it repre-
sents. The tenth person sends it
loose, which is well enough, provid-
ing it does not slip out unseen and
vanish, as these totally depraved
small things have habit of doing.
The proper way is simple one. Cut
with sharp penknife two parallel
Sits at the top of your letter and
slip in your stamps, which will thus
travel as safely as if in a special pa
per case. Perhaps you have been
in country village where money
orders and postal notes are un-
known, and for some reason it be-
comes necessary tc send change in
letter. Cut a piece of light card
board the size of the envelope, and
from-this cut circular pieces the size
of your coins. Insert the coins and
paste slip Of paper across one or
both sides. -Demorest's Magazine.

I believe the struggle now going on
in this country and in other countries
for a single gold standard would, IL
successful, produce widespread disas-
ter, and, in the end, throughout the
world. The destruction of silver money
and establishing gold as the sole unit
of value must have ruinous effect on
all forms of property except those in
vestments which yield fixed return
in money. These would be enormous
ly enhanced in value and would gain a
disproportionate and unfair advantage
over every other species of property.
If, as the most reliable statistics affirm,
there are nearly $1,000, 100000 of coin
or bullion in the world, not very un-
equally divided between gold and sill
yer, it is impossible to strike silver out
of existence as money without results
which will prove distressing to mil
lions and utterly disastrous to tens OF
thousands.-James G. Blaine.

TAMPERIN WITH MAIL LOCKS
Mocha nism Which Makes Successful
Thefts Almost impossible.

Thefts Almost impossible.
The locks on the mail pouches are
so constructed that it is impossible to
open one without it's betraying the
secret. There is little dial on the
lock and every time the lock is opened
the figures on the dial move up one.
Suppose, for instance, that the regis
ter shows 1,147 at the point Of de-
parture, and that when the pouch is
delivered a. the point of destination
the lock is opened, the register will
show-1 148. This increase of one is
made for each trip of the pouch and
eventually the number reached 8, 999,
which in an average bag requires
thirty-fve years to reach. The bag
is then taken apart and the numbers
are reset.
These locks were first introduced
in 1881 and mail clerk made bold
attempt to rob bag in transit,
soon after their introduction. He
took small turning lathe in the
car with him to aid in the scheme.'
After unlocking the bag he rifed
the contents and connected up the
lathe to the lock. His idea was to
twist the numbers around until they
were the same as before the lock was
touched. He set the lathe humming
and soon reeled off the numbers up
to 9, ,999, when to his CONSERVATION
the register remained at that figure
and refused to move any more. The
lock must be taken apart before it
will start at No again, but he did
not know this. The trick was, of
course, discovered and the guilty
clerk punished. Since then the locks
have never been tampered within.

IRON STOVES.
Dr.. Franklin First Made Them for
the Burning of Coal.

DR.. Franklin FIRST Made hem TOT
the Burning of Coal.
One OF the very first attempts at
making an iron stove was by Count
or, Cardinal Polignac, of France,
early In the eighteenth century.
The results of his efforts were SIM
ply iron fireplaces, constructed with
hollow backs, hearths and iron
lambs; the only improvement it
showed over the old fireplace was in
a slight saving of heat. In the year
17l6 DR.. Desaugliers, Of London, i'm
proved the Polignac ffreplaces to
such an extent that they could be
used for burning coal as well as
wood.
DR.. Franklin's stove, invented in
the year 1745, was great improve
ment on everything in the stove
line that had preceded it. The
principles upon which it was con-
structed were similar to the air
tight stoves introduced many years
later. Indeed, it is believed that
had it been possible at that time for
founders to make tight-fghting
castings the Franklin experiment
would have been air-tight. About
the year 1775 (there is some dispute
about the exact date) DR.. Franklin
improved his stove so as to make 1t
suitable to the consumption of COM
mon bituminous coal. In 1882 Ben
jamin Thompson Count Rumford)
made several improvements on
Franklin's designs. In 1888 j, L.
Mott made the first stove that
would burn anthracite coal. Since
the last-named date hundreds Of in
.ventors have taken part in bringing
the stove up to Its present perfec-

bedchambers of many American
women. Lillian Russell, for instance,
squeen of comic opera, rejoices in one
apartment which suggests great

single bed is of brass, but inlaid and
covered with mother-of-pearl. The
sdraperies are of white silk boiling
cloth, painted in morning-glories
and lined with palest pink satin.
Soft white lace over pink satin
forms the covering for the bed and
for the hard, round bolster, and falls
on both sides almost to the white

sentation of a swan. Each feather
is exquisitely carved in white en-
zameled wood A canopy of white
silk falls from the tail, slender neck.
The coverlid and pillows are of white
satin, ruffled with filmy lace. Walls,
carpets and hangings of this exquis-
lite room are of dull pink. The dress
ing table, with its quaint chair, the
framing of the tall cheval glass and
the carved woodwork of the colonial
mantel-piece are of glistening white
eenameled wood. A few choice water
colors and some bits of rose-fecked
china give a homelike look to the
room.
Y Mrs. Burton Harrison, another

literary queen, has her bedroom
furnished with the old mahogany
Sfnrniture in which her great-grand-
mother delighted. The roomy old
bed would make two of any modern
creation, aud the four tall carved
posts reach almost to the ceiling.

silky Persian weave covers the floor
of the tiny apartment, and single

The toilet table and all of its be-
longings are in the little dressing
room which opens off from the bed

saries the dainty brass bed presents
a .ssomber appearance, for it is draped
in black; the sheets, down coverlids
