Things earned ut the Mo rgue.

The old keeper of the morgue in
Philadelphia, who has seen hundreds
of unknown bodies exhibited for
Identification has arrived at some in
teresting conclusions. If the face Of
the dead person is perfectly composed
and natural, of course intimat. friends
or relatives recognize them imme-
diately. Rut, he says, if the face is
distorted through pain or distigured
by injuries, a casual acquaintance can
identify the body much easier than
the closest relation. He explains this
by saying that people who have
known a person we'll for a long time
lose sight Of the features and see
rather the personality reflected in tho
lines of the face. Acasual acquaint-
ance notes the features, and can rec
ognize them when seen again, even if
considerably distorted.

His Spirit Glimpses at the Secret Of
Creation.
DR.. Holmes once told a dinner partv
how he one undertook to solve the
enigma of creation. Having observed
that when Inconsistencies is con-
sciously approached-when the mind
is on the confines of two worlds-theve
arise sublime and voluminous, but
fugacious thoughts, and having salts
fed himself that in these thoughts, if
they could only be caught and trans
cribed, there lay enshrined the secret
of the universe, he determined
that by a supreme effort of the
will he would catch and transcribe
them. SO, placing himself in his arm
chair, with pen, ink and paper at
hand, he inhaled the vapor of chloro.
form. AS drowsiness stole over him,
and just as inconsistencies was i'm
pending, those sublime and marvel
Gus thoughts arose, and by a vigorous
effort he seized his pen and wrote, he
knew not what, for before he had
finished he fell back unconscious.
When&he awolle. with trembling anx-
iety, he turned to the sheet. of paper,
on which he could read in scrawlinp
characters, but quite legible, the Sc
cret of the universe, written in tn csc
words: "a strong smell of turpen-
tine %pervades the whole"

The Field Monument.
(From t he Chicago Record. }


The Eugene Field monument committee
OF Chicago send forth the information that
they want between Sc 600 and IS, 900.
This fund is to be divided equally between
the monument and the family of the late
humorist anG poet, and for this purpose the
chief reliance is on the sales OF the Eugene
Field monument Souy enir, Field Flow
ers,' of which full account has been made
in our columns. This book OF forty pages
is very remarkable from the fact that the
lahors of the best Illustrators OF the
country were bestowed upon it without
pay, out of the warmth of feeling that ex-
lists for the man who made so great an
impression by his sunny nature and his
clever and Ingenious fancy and hu1nof,
as shown in his Gaily newspa per work anl
his published books. Thirty-two we'll
known artists contributed of TIER lest to
illustrate u selection of Mr.. Fields poems,
and the committee value the drawings at
81 1000. The original drawings are now
being e. f;bitcd in city after city. For
each dollar subscribed 10 the fund there
will he issued a copy OF his beautiful publ
cation, as souvenir certificate of sub

second-class Mail Privileges.


We are glad to see that Postmaster Gen
eraI Gary s to continue the effort SO Wig
orously made by his predecessor, to put
an end to the raud committed upon the
law and the postal service through
the abuse of tue privilege of cheap postage
charged for tue transmission OF second
class mail matter. As the Postmaster
General poiuts out, it was the intention Of
Congress, in granting this privilege, to
benefit the public by permitting the carry
ing OF periodical literature at a loss to the
Government. County newspapers are car
ried free, Under this privilege, to county
subscribers, ard allnewspapers and weekly
and monthly publica tions are carried
through the mails at the rate Of l cent
pound. The cost to the Government Of this
service Is cents a pound, and the loss,
therefore, is Z cents a Pound. The Post
master General points out, as Mr.. Wilson
was wont to point out, that the increase of
second-class maiImatterhas been enormous.
In 1SeS the Government carried 143,-
600. 900 pounds of second-class matter.
and in 1897 it has carried $4,000, ,000
pounds. This year, therefore the Govern
nent has expended $29, ,000, 900 in distriID-
uting periodicals, and has received only
So ,0d0, 900 for the service. 1t has there
fore lost $26 900 ,0OO-more than enought to
account for the whole of the postal defi-
cheney. 1t is perfectly well understood
that tie amount of second-Class matter
carried is thus enormously increased by
abuses of the law-abuses which have
indeed, grown up under the interpret tions
of the Government, but which are ao:ses
nevertheless. because they are contrary
to the intention of the law. The publish
ers of books and of adv ertising pa pers, and
others. take advantage of a rate never
intended to aid them in their private
business, and ff they alone were ex
cluded from the privilege sos much money
would be saved that the Postoffice Depart
ment would be self-sustaining. The House
of Representatives of the last Congress
passed a bill which would have accom-
plished this reform, but the measure was
Killed in the Senate. If such bill should
become a law. the "a wing to the Government
would be $4,000 900 year at least.
