DON'T TRIM POSTAL CARDs.-Henry
J. Bothof, publisher of The Illustra'
ted Record, of New York, originator
of many clever schemes for pushing
his paper, innocently violated the
postoaice regulations couple of weeks
ago, and, as result, is out $500, be-
sides what he confidently expected to
secure through the scheme. Mr.. Bo.
thof recently purchased list of sew
eral thousand names and addresses,
intending to send out a batch of busi'
ness circulars that would bring in
replies. He bought postal cards to be
sent out with these circulars and had
envelopes addressed. 1t was then
that he discovered that the postal
cards were a triHe too large for the
envelopes. Wishing to avoid delay
that the readdressing of the envelopes
would necessitate, he had the postal
cards trimmed off one-eighth of an
inch and then sent them out. When
the cards had been remailed by the
parties they had been sent to, the pos
tai authorities detected the slight
change in the size of the cards, and
Mr.. Bothoff learned for the first time
that he had violated one of Uncle
Sans rules. The postal cards were
declared worthless, and the publisher
of The Illustrated Record was obliged
to pay an additional cent for every
one that was mailed to him. He
warns other publishers and business
men against making a similar mis-
take.-National Advertiser.

REBELLION In CHINA.-The city o.

with the intention of capturing the

of their members confined therein.
One band tore down the prison, set

and thieves and imprisoned debtors,
Another gang attacked the central
part of the city, first numbering the
magistrate who had sent the three
bandits to prison. His entire family
numbering 80, including the servants,

The night was spent in Staying and

injured exceeded $4,000.

New York World: There are
some very interesting facts shown in
the annual report of the interstate
commerce commission. We have in
this country 1915 miles of railroad
$3.50 locomotives, and 1927 ,649 cars
in use. There were 511,772,737 pas
sengers carried during the year, O
whom only 1S1 were killed, or only
one in 1927 ,474. Could figures better
illustrate the extreme safety of railway
travel and the success of invention il
overcoming danger? There are Ss6,
26O employees in the service, and thei1
wages amount to 60 per cent. of the
total operating expense. This means
more than half million homes made
prosperous by this one industry. A:
for the effect of railroad operation il
enriching all the rest of the people
bringing to their doors the products o
q continent at inconsiderable cost, ant
carrying their grain and meat and
manufactures to the sea on their way
to foreign markets-all that is hene
ficence that cannot be expressed il
figures or words. 1t is a crownint
glory of civilization.

MASE FERGUSON.
HOW TO SALT ANIMALS.

IF should say unequivocally that
l. man has not got as much sense as
horse, or a cow, or even hog, would
be considered insulting, and am not 60
ing to say it for it is not so.
But there are some few things about
which horses, COWS and even hogs know
more than men, and one Of these is just
how much salt these animals need and
when they need it.
If you mix salt in the food of the ami
mails, you are just as apt to give them too
much as not enough and in the case of
hogs, especially, the result is often death.
Many time hog is killed by giving it
too much salt in its food, and it is often
the case that the owner does not know
what is the matter.
But there is an easy way to remedy
this. Put animals in position were they
can get s4lt or let it alone just as they like,
and ttey will never take too little or too
pcuch. They will take only just enough.
And how is this to be done? Easiest thing
in the world. Come to me and WI sell
you big chunk Of rock salt at price 80
low that you will never realize the out
lay. Then put this salt in a trough or on
the ground where animals can get at it
when they want it, and you will not only
be rid of the trouble of sailing, but your
stock will always be kept in first-class
condition so far as this important require
ment is concerned. j. NJ. FERGUSON.

that of all the positions in the railway
service, that of mail clerk is accom-
panied by the greatest risk. 1t is gen.
orally supposed that the engineer and
fireman have the most dangerous
posts; but they always have at least
a moments warning and are often able
to save themselves by jumping. Ac-
tive preparations are being made
among the mail clerks to petition con-
|gress for better protection. Those
who have the matter in charge are
considering various suggestions that
may take the form of recommends
tions. One reform that will probably
be asked is that the mail coaches be
placed after, instead of before, the bag
gage cars, the through baggage coach,
which is usually unoccupied by bag
gagemen while the train is in motion,
to take the place next to the engine,
now invariably assigned to the mail
coach. 1t is also probable that the
government will be asked to supply its
own cars and to make them of steel,
and without platforms, which facili.
tate the telescoping process and its
frightful results.
