wAsHNGToS, Oct 9-The post office

Office wanting money order facilities
should be given them. Complaints
have been constantly filed by business
houses that their correspondents at

ders because their post offices have no
such facilities. During the past fiscal

than $500, 100000. The international
money orders issued during the year.

sending money TO friends or relatives
in foreign countries, amounted to Sl5,-
100000, while the amounts drawn on
the United States by foreign countries
did not exceed $1,000. 600. The total
number of money order offices now in
operation is about %. OO0 and the num-

Distribution of Foreign Seeds.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 0. Secretary Will

making arrangements to organize the
work of purchasing foreign seeds for
distribution by the department. A
great deal of information regarding
rare and valuable seeds has been re-

some one will be appointed to collate
these facts, and also to superintend the
purchase of such seeds as are believed
to be adaptable TO the conditions in

RECENT report, issued in London,
by the inspector of inebriates' retreats,
reveals two facts, based upon careful
research and study, which are by no
means calculated TO increase British
pride or prohibitionist enthusiasm.
The report shows that legislative in
tervention for the reform of drunkards
Is far from representing an adequate
machinery; that inebriety among wom-
en- of all classes is rapidly increasing;
and that immoderate drinking, though
frightfully common among the indus
trial classes, IS still more prevalent
among the the upper ten, where habit
ual drunkenness is under-estimated.

Gold Versus Life.

Men are at present risking their
lives for gold. There is a stampede
of eager, willing martyrs to the in
hospitiable country Of the klondyke.
Many will perish from cold and hun

who go there will ever return. Not
one-half Of those who do return will
return any richer than they went
They will not only endanger their
health, but their lives, for the sake oil
gold. And yet everybody says that
health is more precious than gold
The thing which restores health is,
therefore, more precious than gold.

forms of weakness, all forms and

The Last OF the BuffaIoss.

The Yellowstone Park buiialoes are
the only remnant Of the many herds
that once roamed thousands strong all
over the West. 1t is highly desirable
that these should be preserved and the
species saved from total extermiua-
ton. Hunters without conscience and
with little sense, for the mere glory q
killing a buffalo, keep shooting away
at these Yellowstone Park bulaloes
when ever they can evade the park
guards, until the herd, which few
years ago numbered $50, is now re.
duced to less than fifty. These hunt
ers deserve to be shot themselves.
There is a penalty Of fine and impris-
onment for the crime they are guilty
of, but they seem thus far able TO es
cape arrest, and the American buffalo
promises very soon to be an extinct
species of animal.
