Uruan Incident Handed Over to the
United States.
WASHINGTON, March 21.-The So
called Uruan incident has been divorced
from the Venezuela boundary dispute
and practically terminated, it is under
stood, through the good offices of the
United States, without the representa-
tives of Great Britain and the South
American republic coming into direct
relations regarding the affair. The in
cident had at one time a somewhat
threatening aspect, but finally develop
ed into comparative insignif1cance, ca
pable of exceedingly tame adjustment.
1t is strenuously contended by those
most intimately concerned that the in
cident never had an uItimatum stage.
and that there was never any founda'
ton for the report that a British fleet
would be called upon to initiate the
COrinto demonstration.

WINNIPEG, March 28.-The school

Il may as we'll tell you that an under

the commissioners and ourselves that
nothing will be given out for publica-

the information will be given to the

doubt as to it's definite character. Until
that time the press will not get any

Pneumatic Tubes for Post Delivery N

It would not be surprising, says Har-
per's Round Table, to find Boston, New,
York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and
Washington connected by tubes, els
abling letters and parcels to be for1
warded in as many hours as it now
takes days. The telegraph companies
will be seriously affected by the new
system.
The operation is very simple. Tho
letters are placed in q leather tube or'
carrier, which fits snugly into the pneu-''
matte tube. Then blast of air from be-
hind, or the suction of air from the
front, or O combination Of the two
methods, forces the carrier and its conf
tents forward. AS the friction soon
wears out the leather carriers, Amer
Jean genius will be called upon to in-
vent metal carrier on "ball bearings"
With leather tubes about 90 per cent Of
the power applied is lost in overcoming
friction and in waste, only ten per cent.
of the total force applied being used to-
propel the carrier.
The charge for sending pneumatic
letters in Paris was is cents each in
1879, and the territory covered was but
a small part Of the city. To-day every
part of Paris is reached by the tubes,
and the charge is ten cents per letter,
the same as our special delivery. Nine
varieties of the Paris pneumatic letters
are collected. Probably many of the
readers have one or more of them. They
bear map of the city on the face Of the
envelope, showing the different sections
served by this post. The Berlin and
Vienna pneumatic letters are simpler in
design. There are no special designs on
the London enYelopes.

COOKERY HERBS.

Cultivate Their Use.
Herbs used in cookery, while they
may be purchased in the markets of tho
larger cities of the United States, are
rarely procurable in those of smaller
towns. To the average ruralist they are
unknown, or, if known, their use is not
understood. In first rate cookery.
which is one of delicate combinations
and fiavors, they are absolutely indis-
pensable, and their absence therefrom
is quickly detected by cultivated pal
ates. Chives, tarragon, chevril, savory,
sorrel, etc., may be grown with little
trouble either out Of doors or in
boxes in the house. Pulverized dried
herbs that are sold in bottles or tin are
of little value. For favoring purposea
they are hardly more effective than so
much dried dust. Sorrel soup, on ac-
count of it's pleasantly acid flavor, is
much in vogue in Europe. Here it is al:
most entirely unknown, and is rarely
or ever served except in families of for
eign origin or at restaurants that en-
courage a special clientele. OF all the
herbs only sage and mint are in uni
versal use with us. For this boon we
are indebted to the favor accorded
sausages, and the popularity of the
