POSTAL HUMOR.

From the Omaha World-H Herald.
The United States Official Postal Guide
is to the subscription department of
great newspaper what an unabridged die
tionary is to the schoolroom.
The postal guide is in fact a dictionary
of postoffices, containing three separate
alphabetical classifications of all the post
offices in the United States, besides a great
deal of reading matter of special interest
to postmasters, for whose intruction, pri-
marily, the guide is issued.
The subscription clerk needs IL daily, be-
cause in nearly every large batch of let
tiers which passes through his hands some
correspondent has failed to give his ad-
dress properly, Often the name of the
state is omitted sometimes no address at
all is given, the only clew to it being an
imperfect postmark, and occasionally the
writer misspells his own postoffice.
Just a few days ago the World-H Herald
received a letter of some importance, in
which the writer gave no address, and the
of the state. This was, of course, beyond
the help of the postal guide, and at first
glance there seemed no way TO supply the
missing information, but it was noticed
that the signature was that of business
firm, and the resolute clerk took down the
reference book. OF, one of the largest COM

Electric Rai1road stafIatiea.

Electric railways in Europe formed the subject of some interesting statistics recently embodied in report sent tc the United States government by Vice Consul J. F. Monaghan, at Chemnit2, Germany. According to these, the mum. Der of such railways was increased during the year 1895 from 20 to III, while the total length was raised from about 485 to 560 miles, the number of cars from 1, 236 to l. 747, and the horse. power from little over IS, GOO to lit tic over 25, 900. Of all the European countries, Germany, according to MT. Monaghan's figures, stood at the head, with about 250 miles to her credit, and an equipment of 857 cars and 7,l94 horsepower. The other countries fol lowed in the order given below:

DEPARTMENT STORES.

The Prominent Part That Profuse Adver~
 fising Plays In Their Success.
 Aside from departures in policy and innovations on large scale, tho original ity of tho department store is largely supplied by two departments, to some extent correlated. These are tho adver- Using department and the window dressing department One is tho litera. ture of the great stole, tho other it's art The shop windows arc great stimulus for tho department whose goods are dis played in them. A good showing will often wonderfully increase the sale of the stock as we'll as attract customers to the store who are new to it. Frequently the head advertising man is the general manager of the store. Whether this is the oase or not, he is q general superyis- or of the establishment, with complete knowledge of it's ever changing detail Every day he holds consultations with heads of departments to find out what particular lines of articles they want boomed, and about those articles he writes alluring statements for the shop ping public to read, sometimes arrang- ing for Illustrations with them.
 The amount of money spent for adver. Using is appalling when looked upon as an expense. One great store in PhiIadel. phia spends on an average $1, O00 every day in the year, and good many spend $500 day The adv3rtising receives probably more of the personal attention of the head of the house than any other department. The head of the firm which expenda the great sum just mentioned personally suggests and frequently writes the leading lines in the daily an. nouneement. The proprietor of great store in Brooklyn does this invariably and thinks the time we'll spent which the work daily requires. The mail de- .partment tends to enlarge this expendi. ture. as the store reaches out to the ut. most parts of tho country, aud the flu. ture will no doubt sec an even greater development in the effort to secure mail customers in the small towns and in country places --Samuel Hopkins Ad. ans in Scribner's.

4 LITTLE HERO.
How Bennie Moran Rescued His Little
 Sister From a Burning House.

How Bonnie Moran Rescued His LittIo
 Sister From a Burning House.
 The saver of human life stands in the front rank of heroes. And the hero whose name is on every tongue in the city of Detroit is Bennie Moran, little boy of 3 years, who is . hero at an age when most children gro slumbering in their mothers arms.
 Bennie, however, like many another hero who has risked life and limb in ef. forts to rescue tho helpless, takes the honors heaped upon him by adnfring friends in 2 modest way and thinks that when he carried his little s.year-old sister from his fathers burning house he did little more than any other boy would do.
 It took but few short seconds for Bonnie to perform this act that will bring him glory through all his days It was on Tuesday, Nov. IF, late in the afternoon, when Mrs. Moran kissed her two babes as they lay playing upon the
