MAILING a STAMP.
How It Can Be Done Without Trouble
w 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
stamp, for it is, strangely, far dearer
to US than the two cents it repre-
sents. The tenth person sends it
loose, which is we'll 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 special pa
per case. Perhaps you have been
in a country village where money
orders and postal notes are I'M
known, and for some reason it be-
comes necessary tc send change in
a letter. Cut 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 es.-Demorest's Magazine.

An Easy Solution.

Household Words relates a curl
Gus story of the late comte de Paris.
'In 1871, when the government of
M. Theirs was at Versailles, and be-
fore the national assembly had de-
cided whether the new constitution
was to be monarchical or republican,
the comte visited the palace at YER
sailles. AS he was about to enter
the door, M. Jules Simon met and
recognized him: Bowing politely,
M. Simon said: If we are republic
you are in my house, and shall be
delighted to do the honors. If we
are monarchy / am in yours. The
comte laughed, took his arm, and
replied; Let us 60 in together"

The INoulslTIvE CLERK.
he Finds Customer Who IL Too
Much for Him.

WtuCU toF Fttttts
The inquisitivc clerk is every
where and everybody has had an ex-
perience with him. One of the genus
was called down" in a 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.
'Bottles2" asked the clerk.
Yes, bottles" responded the
man.
"With or without corks?" asked
he.
with corks," was the response,
want EN- empty2"
Certainly"
"And new?"
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?"
ITO 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:
Il wouldn't want the neighbors to
get onto it, but l rather like to hear
EN- crack. Just a whim of mine.
It's better than breaking windows
and gives me just as much pleasure,
but my supply has given out and I
want few to hold me over until the
next car load arrives"
The clerk looked at the customer
doubtfully.
"Oh, we'll, of course; it's nothing
to me" he said.
'Then what made you ask about
it?" demanded the customer.
The clerk 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. Its
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
ques tions. st. Louis Post-Dispatch.

=seprst III again.

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 a 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, OOo,O 900 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 uttsrly disastrous to tens OF
thousands.-James G. Blaine.

TAMPE RING WITH MAIL LOCKS
Mocha nism Which Makes Successful
Thefts Almost Impossible.

Mecha niSm Which Makes SUCCESSFUL
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 aud 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
show1 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 a mail clerk made a bold
attempt to rob a 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 rified
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, 500, 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 tempered with. IN.

Queen Victoria is said to be very

rug, a great table of carved mahog-

a portrait of Prince Albert, com

palace in which her majesty slum-
bers. Nothing TO compare with the
bedchambers of many American
women, Lillian Russell, for instance,
squeen of comic opera, rejoices in one
apartment which suggests a great
pearly pink seashell. Her little
single bed is of brass, but inlaid and
covered with mother-of-pearl. The
sdraperies are of white silk boiling
scloth, 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
I on both sides almost to the white
velvet carpet. The dressing-table
is of pink enamel inlaid with wreaths
and cupids of mother-of-pearl The

is exquisitely carved in white en-

silk falls from the tall 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

framing of the tall cheval glass and
the carved woodwork of the colonial
mantel-piece are of glistening white

room.

bed would make two of any modern

posts reach almost to the ceiling.
