.Rejuvenating Postal Cards.

An advertisement has appeared in
some of the daily papers in which a
cash payment has been offered for un-
cancelled printed postal cards. 1t
seems that many business houses have
occasion to have a large number of
postal cards printed to advertise some
special line of goods or for the use of
some travelling man. For some rea-
son or other the conditions may
change, so that perhaps only half of
the cards are used. Being printed they
cannot be used in any other way, and
the result is that in nine cases out of
ten they are consigned to the waste
basket, as the Government does not re-
deem uncaneelled postal cards as it
does stamped envelopes.
A process has been discovered by
which all of the printed matter may be
removed from the card, leaving it in
the same condition as when bought at
the postoffice. A charge of one-half
cent per card is made for this work; or,
in other words, a man sends five hun
dred cards to be made over" The
man who does the work charges $3.50
for his services, and the customer
saves $3.50, as the printed cards were
of no use to him.

CANAL TROLLEY SYSTEM.
A New York Inventor Supplants Mules by
an Electric Traction.

A New York Inventor Surplants Mules by
an Electric Traction.
The principal of the rack railroad,
familiar to the Notwithstanding
public as well as to the engineer, ap-
piled to an electric traction system on
canals, is substantially the basis of the
plan which a New York inventor pro-
poses to follow in displacing the tra-
ditional canal mule. The practical as
pect of the scheme will become at once
apparent from the sketch. Along the
bank of the canal, supported on pies,
the inventor proposes to lay a rail Of
suitable section to support and guide
small electric locomotive, whose
driving wheel is spur wheel, deriving
motion from the motor proper through
O train of gearing and meshing with a
rack forming part of the rail. Supply
and return currents to and from the
motor go through conductors strung
along the track level on the side oppo-
site the rack, a double trolley being
used. The rack arrangement, as in
steep mountain railroad construction,
of course provides for the easy climb
ing of the heaVy-grade portions along
the canal at locks, without ne
cessitating the use of great weight

Another Australian system.

During the last two years Victoria,
Australia, has successfully dealt with
the labor question by the formation Of
labor colonies and village settlements
for the unemployed. The colonists re-
ceived governmental help in raising
their first crops. This came in the shape
of loans at low rates of interest, and
secured on the crops. The village set
Elements were made near swamp lands,
the reclaiming of which provided am
pie labor and support for all able to
work. Thus, while aiding the settlers
to support themselves, the government
has realized large profits from the
enhanced value of the land. In this
way $500 families have been provided
for and are now permanently settled
on these once waste lands.

Kansas City is located, advertised for
a boy to work in his Office.
"On the morning following the adj

hand, and my son reSorted to kind of
civil service expedient-an examina-
tion of some nature-to test their mer-
its. The boy whose papers best ap-
proved themselves was called forward
and asked for his name.
My name is Jesse James, Jr.'
My son was more than amazed, and
said:
DO you know who I am?'
Yes, sir; you are Gov. Crittendens
son.
"'Well, then, you go home and tell
your mother all about this, and if she
is willing for you to work for me and

my mother and sister, and I'll be back
And back he was the next morning

living in the suburbs of Kansas City.
Now, let me tell you what became of
this boy. He remained with my son
for several years, being honest and
faithful to a degree, and then my son
secured him position in Armour's
packing-house in Kansas City, where
he is now employed, respected by every
one and having a number of men un-
der him. And lie is but twenty years
of age.'

BUILDING OF CITIES.

The action taken by the Commercial
club at its last meeting. in the direction
Of securing a system Of parks for the
city IS both important and timely. Pub
lie Fairgrounds may justly be charac-
terized as a long felt want. To make
them, where they are not found ready
to hand as in some more favored 1Ocali-
ties, requires both time and money. The
more money the less time, Is also true
in a limited way.
Unfortunately, the short-sighted pol
Icy Of the founders of the city. in not
setting apart the space necessary for
park system, has rendered it necessary
at this late date. to expend for land,
money which should be used for MAX
ing improvements. But the mistakes
of others should not deter the citizens
Of the present day from taking such
action as at least will leave their chill
dren no similar cause for complaint.
In the matter Of parks a lesson might
be learned from a number of California
towns. Not content with an already
abundant supply of pleasure grounds.
Los Angeles is continually providing
more and larges places Of recreation,
against the future requirements of q
growing and prosperous city.
When San Diego emerged from OBJ
security a few years ago and began to
take Its place as a live American town,
one Of the first things attended to was
the setting aside of a tract Of over 500
acres for a park and it is a town not
nearly so large as Topeka
The parks Of Los Angeles are hardly
excelled in beauty anywhere, although
they are literally carved out Of the des-
ert. West Lake park but a short dis
tance from the business section is like
a picture. The lake in the centre, a
body of water large enough and deep
enough to accommodate a numerous
fleet of small boats was built by the
city and the water is supplied from the
waterworks. In all directions are as
phalt paved walks and drives leading
over rustic bridges, spanning streams
system.
The beautiful resort, built at public
expense is of course free: it is not even
fenced, and on a Sunday afternoon,
thousands Of the people go out to hear
the concert given by an excellent band.
from pavilion built out in the lake.
Does the city hire the band? No; the
street car company does that and con-
siders it a good investment.
This is the way it was at Los An
geles five years ago when the city was
less than double the size of Topeka. It
has over 100000 inhabitants now. To
the enterprise and push of its citizens
more than anything else is due its re-
markable growth. It has no natural
advantages. Cities don't happen any
more. They are made.

Leavenworth, Nov. 25.-Thanksgiving
brought freedom to Clarence N. Lee. a
prisoner under sentence of life imprison-
ment in the penitentiary at Lansing for
murder in the first degree. He was
convicted March %, 1894, of killing VIII
liam Chapman, at Pittsburg, Crawford
county. The conviction was secured
on the fiimsiest sort of circumstantial
evidence. Lees reputation was not the
best and he had no money with which to
make a proper defense.
Since his conviction he has been able
to establish a complete abb, showing
that he was in Fort Scott at the time
the crime was committed. A prisoner
in the Oregon penitentiary has since
confessed to the crime. It tranSpireS
from the mass Of evidence submitted to

detectives worked up the case against
Lee in order to get the reward Of $500
for the arrest and conviction Of the
murderer of Chapman.

NOBAR ON HOGS.
When Alive They May Enter France
Without Restriction.

Washington, Nov 25.-According to
Consul General Gowdy at Paris, there
are no laws or regulations which pro-
hibit the importation of live hogs into
France from the United States,
but the importation of live cattle,
such as cows, bulls or steers, from the
latter country is absolutely prohibited.
The animals upon arrival are subjected
to a sanitary examination by one of the
official veterinary surgeons detailed for
the purpose and if found healthy are
allowed to enter the country, but if
any contagious disease is detected the
animal is killed at once and the others
put under surveillance. The production
and the consumption of all live animals
in France this year are very nearly
balanced, with the exception of sheep.
There is more demand for those ami
mails than for any other live stock.
