PosT OFFICE SECRECY.

Ask Letter Carrier the Address of Your
Friend, and he win say: Excuse Me-
1t is not generally known that Uncle
Sam looks upon the address or where
abouts of one of his citizens as an in
violable secret. Such, however, is the
case, says the New York World.
A New Yorker who had been out of
the city for some time found upon his
return, a few days ago, that one of his
intimate friends had changed his resi-
dence without leaving his exact new
address. All he could gather was that
his friend now lived in fat on the
north side of a certain street.
When he arrived at the block in ques-
ton he found to his dismay that every
house in it was a fiat house. He would
have to go from door to door until he

The same secrecy is observed at the

authorities even to a state officer. This
rule is in accordance with the general
principle that mans dealings with the

A Philadelphia Tencment-HOuse Fire De-
veIops a Young Heroine.
In January last Philadelphia tene-
ment house was burned. Two men were
killed and several persons were badly
injured, while others escaped in an al
most miraculous manner. The fourth
floor was occupied by the family of
Joseph Zellers. The father and mother
seem to have been absent, but the five
children were at home. All were saved
through the bravery and GOODNESS of
the oldest of them, u girl of 16, whose
conduct is briefly described by the Rec
ord:
Jenny Zellers was dressing the chill
dren, the youngest mere babe, when Il
cloud of smoke came into the room and
at the same time the frantic cries OF
those below reached her ears.
Hastily opening the door, she saw the
flames leaping up the stairway toward
her. Never hesitatinS, she closed the
door, and calling the children together
forced them up a ladder and through Il
trap-door to the roof. They were ele-
waited high above the surrounding build
ings, and below them the flames were
roaring with terrible fury.
Stlll retaining her presence OF mind.
the brave girl dropped her brother, a lad
of IA, to the roof of the house to the
south. 1t was fall of ten feet, but the
boy landed safely, and then the girl
braved the fire in her doomed home to
secure quantity of bedding.
This she threw to her brother, who
arranged it on the roof, and then, one b.
cne, she dropped the other children.
The infant she took in her arms and
leaped with it in safety to the bedding.
Next she broke a slylight in the roof to
which all had escaped, and lowering the
children through it, they all reached the
street.

AN HONORABLE VEGETABLE.

The Onion Has Its Admirers-The Ana
cOnda (N1ont.) Onion Society.
The nutritious and wholesome onion
occasionally finds its indicators. At
the thriving Montana city of Anaconda
there is dining club called the Ana
conda Onion society. Its first feast was
recently given with distinguished sue
cess.
Down the center of the hall, says the
Anaconda Standard, was set a long
table, with cover for all the guests. Az
each plate was large and juicy onion:
in the middle of the table was an array
of meats, bread, fruit-crackers, cheese
and other things.
At one end of the hall floated the
standard of the club in proud conspic-
uousness. 1t consisted OF pole sur
mounted by string Of the vegetables
from which the socity tai cs its name.
On the wall hung this motto. beautifully
wrought:
IN ONION THERE Is STRENGTH.
Each member wore pretty bouton-
nier of little onions. The occasion was
greatly enjoyed by all the participants
and the society hopes to do much to re-
store the onion to the honor and esteem
CT the world.
In Montana, as well as on the whole
of the Pacific slope, the onion attains q
Righteousness of quality which is COM
paratively unknown on the eastern side,

east could have onions as good as those
of Montana and California, it is possible
that the Anaconda Onion society might

WILL BE AN END.

Gen. Weyler's embargo against the
expectation of Cuban tobacco is
likely to put tie finishing touches to
what was once our fourishiug trade
with Cuba, says the Salem Statesman.
Our exports fell from $23, 100000 in
1898 to $12,8O9,OOO last year,
though at the same time the trade
totals for 1895 were being made the
devastation of the island had hardly
hegun.
Cuba depends wholly on sugar and
tobacco. 1t is with these that it
pays for the flour, provisions and
articles of manufactured goods it
has bought in large quantities from
the United States. This season,
however, it will have neither sugar
nor tobacco. The sugar industry is
already ruined. The Associated
Press reports have shown that there
are now nothing but blackened ruins
20 make the sites of the sugar mills
which once gave the island its largest
revenue. Add TO this The suppress
sion of the tobacco trade under Gen.
Weyler's order of embargo, and the
misery of Cuba is complete.
By what right docs Spain protract
a barbaric war to such extremity !?
For how many years may stronger
power inflict the direst calamitles on
a weaker one which it is unable to
subjugate by force of arms? How
can Spain expect that the people of
the United States will view with in
difference the misery thus wantonly
visited on Americans? A cuckoo
organ says the ''news that an admin
istIation will make vigorous protest
against this barbaric and unfriendly
act is very welcome"
But this proposed protest will give
no relief to the struggling patriots of
Cuba, and it will not affect the bust
ness interests of this country at
which the order of Butcher General
Weyler is aimed. Time was, though,
when the protests of the authorities
at Washington were listened to with
respectful attention by Spain, or any
other country against whose acts they
were directed. They were acted
upon with indications of profound
regard by this same Spain during
General Grants administration in
the early seventies, while the Cuban
revolution was in progress.
The time is coming again, though
it drags all too slowly, when the pro-
tests of this country will have weight
with Spain. They will be received
with respect after the 4th of March
next, or if they be not so received,
respect will be enforced with the
ministerial offices of our army and
navy Then there will be an end to
these outrages.

JAvA's NATURAL WONDER.
Home of the Hot Devils Possesses Great

Home of the Hot Devils Possesses Great
Interest to Travellers.
The greatest natural wonder in Java,
if not in the entire world, is the justly
celebrated "Gheko Kamdka Gumko,'' -
or Home of the Hot Devils,'' known to
the world as the ''lslandof Fire. This
geological singularity is really a lake
of boiling mud, situated at about the
center of the plains of Grobogana, and
it is called an island because the great
emerald sea of vegetation which sur
rounds it gives it that appearance. The
island is about two miles in circum-
ference and is situated at distance of
almost exactly so miles from Solo. Near
tile center of this geological freak i'm
mense columns of soft, hot mud may be
seen continually rising and falling like
great timbers thrust through the boil
ing substratum by giant hands, and
then again quickly withdrawn. Be
sides the phenomenon of the boiling
mud columns there are scores of gigan-
tic bubbles Of hot slime that fill up like
huge balloons and keep up a series of
constant explosions varying with the
size of the bubble. In times past, SO
the Javanese authorities say, there was
a tall, spirelike column of baked mud
on the west edge of the lake, which con-
stantly belched q pure stream of cold
water, but this has long been obliterat-
mass of bubbling mud and slime, a
marvel to the visitors, who come from
great distances to see it.
