by Post,

Practically all the packages that go
through the New York p~ostofice are
examined. Many persons seem utterly
unable to resist the temptation to scrib-
BILE a message upon the back of a photo
graph or the lid of a box. A written
dedication in a book or a written greet
ing, such as the conventional merry
Christmas" is allowable. but, with
these exceptions, any written word
makes a package liable to letter postage.
The whole fly leaf of a book may be filed
with a dedicatory note, but any other
words, as, for instance, "See Page a.
would cause the package to be classed
as written matter.
Another common error is to put seal
ing a on the knot of the string around
the package. Such a package is classed
as ''sealed against inspection" and
must pay letter rates. The same rule
applies to boxes that have their lids
nailed n tackled on. The amount of
money collected for insufficient postage
is surprising. The average receipts in
this department Of the p~ostofice are
5000 a day. -Leslie's Weekly.

Fooled by a Ga. Machine.

A Brooklyn woman whose gas bills
were almost beyond computation and
certainly beyond her purse, had one Of
the quarter in the slot machines put in
her fiat and anticipated great pleasure
in keeping tab on her gas expenditure
These machines, by the way, are fed a
quarter. and when the quarter s worth
OF gas is burned they shut off automat-
ically.
Toward evening of the day in which
the machine was installed she wendell
her way to the slot and deposited her
money, but when an attempt was made
to light the gas the machine would not
register, and the evening light was shed
out Of lamps and candles. A wrathy
note brought the company inspector to
the scene the next morning, and he
thoroughly vindicated the reputation of

SIX Months In a Bath.

Life in a bath must be somewhat mo-
notonous, but it is quite common in the
best Of u modern hospitals. At first it
was tried only in a few absolutely hope
less cases, but the results were SO salts
factory that various forms of disease are
now Systematically treated by continu-
GUS immersion in water.
Some time ago., for instance, a young
girl was dying from a complication Of
terrible diseases. She was a mere shad-
ow, and nothing but death was before
her under ordinary treatment. But an
ingenious doctor placed her on a sheet
and sank her into a warm bath, SO that
only her head remained above water.
The 'bath was. kept constantly warm,
and in it she ate, drank and slept for
1873 days and nights. AT the end of the
time she stepped out fat and strong.
In skin diseases the continuous bath
is invaluable, for it can be medicated,
and many hopeless cases Of burning
have been successfully treated in this
extraordinary way.-Exchange.

Mother Love Conquered.

A pathetic incident which happened
recently in this city shows that a strong
will can sometimes do more in combat
ing dread disease than all the skill Of
the medical fraternity. An entire fam
lily, consisting of both parents and four
children of tender age. was stricken
with malignant pneumonia. The wife
was apparently the worse. sufferer, and
her case was given up by the doctors as
beyond hope. Meanwhile her husband
became suddenly worse and died. Ev-
erything that medical science could do
had been done for the wife without
avail, and after consultation the ply
sicians decided to take d desperate risk
and tell her of her husbands death.
reasoning that the shock might kill her.
but also might arouse her ebbing
strength and assist in checking the
colna which was already presaging dis
solution.
The experiment was tried, and when
the devoted mother learned that her
death would leave her children without
a protector, her mother love aroused her
last energies and she not only survived
the great shock of her life partners
death, but she actually recovered

rae Power Of Lxad,te.

It is avery difficult problem to ascer-
tain the numerical superiority Of lyd-
dite over other explosives. It is certain
" six times more powerful than nitro
glycerin, which in turn is at least eight
times more powerful than the same
weight Of gunpowder. Further, all ex-
perience shows that its effects are spread
vel a much greater area than in the
al Of nitroglycerin or dynamite,
which are intensely local in their ac-
ton. It has been frequently
" stated that lyddite or melinite may
be used as a substitute for cordite or
g%unpcwder in propellins a projectile.
Such could not be the case however, as
the explosion takes place so rapidly
that the chamber Of the gun would be
inevitably shattered.
Probably one Of the greatest advan-
tages Of lyddite is it's absolute safety to
handle, which we can realize when we
recall its use in the arts for over a cen
fury without its powers being even sus-
pected. In this respect. combined with
its speculative destructive capacities,
lyddite approaches an ideal explosive
for shells, and it is safe to predict that
it will play an extremely important
part in the great military operations Of
the future.-Chambers' Journal.

viscount has neither flowers nor points,
but only the plain circlet adorned with
pearls, which, regardless Of number,
are placed on the crown itself. A baron
has only six pearls on the golden border,
not raised, to distinguish him from an
earl, and the number Of pearls render
his diadem distinct from that Of a Wis

but it is some time since we have no.
ticed an advertisement of a caul for

marked that the sale of cauls, SO far
from being a very ancient custom, is a
comparatively modern innovation. The

When it seemed that the limit had

mild steel had been so perfected as to
enable progress to be maintained. The
large boilers necessary to withstand the
high pressures and furnish the power
for high speeds would have been i'm
possible but for mild steel, and the same
thing is true Of the moving parts of the

antifriction metals for bearings, COM
