AS one, who, in the matter of con-
venience, is more interested than are
all the people on Putnam street, we
enter our emphatic protest against the
action taken and against the location
selected.-Marietta Times.
The above from the Times concern
ing the post Office change in very fun
ny, and we wonder what such institu-
tions as Strecker Bros, Bailey Grocery
Co. and THORNLEY, Bros. would say to
it, Would they suffer by comparison
of postage bills? Well hardly-even if
McKinney's business we're multiplied
by score.

TWELVE years ago Chas. Burrell, a
boy living in Chicago, was struck on
the head by a playmate. He became
Insane and was placed in an asylum.
On the fir, insta the N-rays having
revealed Il growth Oh the inner sur
face Of his skull at the point where
the blow was received, Burrell was
subjected TO an operation. The
growth was removed, and he was put
to bed, The next day he awoke in
fun possession of his faculties, and
his first words were: why did you
hit me?' The twclya years had been
"A blank and he resumed the life Of a
rational being at the point where it
had been interrupted.

RAILWAY MAIL PAY.

Milwaukee Sentinel; The appro-
priation Of 33,275,OoO which it is pro
posed this year to pay the railways
! for the transportation OF the mails
has again raised the question wheth-
er the government is not paying an
exorbitant price for this service
The sum to be expended, il the APP
preparation is granted, is about So
100000 greater than it was last year.
= The question Is
whether the railways are not paid
too high rate. There are many well
informed people who believe that
the rate charged by the railways l.
excessive, and several members OF
congress have in tho past sought to
have it reduced and are now striving
for the same object. They make the
point that the cost of transporting is
altogether out Of proportion, being
greater than that paid for passengers,
express or freight.
The National Board Of Trade stat
ed this point in some resolutions
adopted at some recent meeting.
These resolutions explain that, al
though general freight is carried at
the average rate OF 81 cents per ton
per hundred miles, passengers at the
average Of $50 per ton, the railways
receive $40 per ton for carrying mail
matter besides charging an annual
rental for the car in which mail is
carried that is greater than the cost
of the car. This statement was pre-
scented in detail to the joint commits
sion Of congress appointed to inves
tigate railway mail pay by Mr.. Fin
ley Acker, OF Philadelphia, who drew
up the resolution in question, and
was supported by irrefutable evil
dence from the highest authorities.
It would seem TO be an opportunity
for congress to practice business
methods and by reducing the railway
mail pay To end the annual deficit in
the postotiice department..

SUBsCRTPTTOE RATES.
SIGNIFICANT FIGURES.

The following official figures pre-
sent in the most telling way the diff.
ference in receipts and expenses Of
government under republican and
democratic policies and administra-
ton. We quote from a letter by Mr..
F.. p. Miller. Of New York, in the
American Economist:
As a matter Of business policy
when a new party is coming into
power if it favors high tariff, the
imports will greatly increase before
the new tariff goes into operation.
On the other hand il a party favor
ing low tariff is successful, imports
will be held back, so as to come in
under the lower duties hence the
first and last year, oi an udministra-
tion OF either party do not indicate
so truly the workings Of the tariff as
do the Intermediate years, The fol-
lowing table gives the receipts from
central years Of each Of the last five
administrations except the present,
which would make better showing
if we could have 1899 in place Of 1897 !:

Smoking In COreu.

In Corea all men and women smoke.
They begin early. The pipe is a brass
bowl, with a reed stem four feet long
and brass, amber or glass mouth
piece Accidents often occur from
persons falling with long pipe in the
mouth, the stem of which is driven
down the throat, through the cheek, or
into the palate. During the reform
PERIOD" after the Japan-China war.
long pipes were forbidden to the COM
mon people, and they turned to cigar
cites, which have become rooted in the
popular affection. Native cigarettes,
which are of poor quality, sell for one
cent gold for twenty. Little cigars
of cigarette size sell for II cents gold
per 100. American cigarettes are
used exclusively In the palace, and
thousands OF them are smoked there
This makes them popular with the up
per classes, and the consumption OF
them is very great The best Of them
cost one cent gold each. The import
duty on cigars and cigarettes is 20 per
cent. ad valorem. but. in spite of this.

WOOD MANTELs.
They Have Driven Out Marble and Are
Both Cheap and Handsome.

Both Cheap and Handsome.
Mantels nowadays are almost exclu.
siyely made Of wood. Marble is used oc-
casionally, but only for the most costly
of all mantels costing perhaps thou
sands of dollars. The marble mantel OF
the kind so familiar years ago is no
longer made, and sometimes marble
mantels of fine quality that cost from
5000. to $500 are taken out to be re-
placed with mantels Of wood costing
perhaps 500. Slate mantels, so widely
and commonly used a few years ago,
are now rarely set up. They also have
given place to wood.
Wood mantels may easily be costly.
They are made in hundreds of different
styles and at all sorts of prices, from
81 900 down to a few dollars. Many of
them are beautiful, not few of them
are of great beauty. and even the
cheapest may be tasteful and graceful
in design and finish. There never was
time when so much art and skill went
into wood mantels as now.
The woods used Include mahogany,
curly birch, quartered oak, and other
hard woods, wildwood and pine. Per-
haps more are made of whitewood than
of any other one material. The various
woods are finished in great variety.
The oaks, for instance, are stained in
seventy or eighty different shades, to
match if it should be desired, any fur
niture. Many mantels are painted and
enamelled. In the fireplace fittings OF
the more costly mantels it Is not IN
usual to find marble or onyx matching
the wood in color, with the result OF
producing a beautiful harmony in eff
feet.
In styles wood mantels are made in
colonial, Elizabethan, empire, classical,
renaissance, and other styles, colonial
being now most in demand. Some
colonial mantels are copies of mantels
IN old and, perhaps. familiar houses.
While mantels in hundreds of styles
are to be found already designed, many
are made to order from architects de-
signs for single houses. 1t is not I'M
usual to make mantels to order to
match furniture; it might be that a
mantel would be made to match a
bureau or dining room table. New
styles of mantels are constantly being
added to the great number regularly
produced.

DOORS MADE OF VENEER.
Hall Doors, Not Even the More Costly Are
Made of Solid Wood.

Hall Doors, Not Even the More Costly Are
Made of Solid Wood.
The very finest of doors are made
nowadays Of veneer on a body of pine.
Even when made of mahogany or some
other costly wood, doors have to be
Yeneered. The body of the door Is
made of a plain, straight-grained ma
hogany, while the surfaces are Veneers
of fue wood
In the finest doors the body is made
of selected white pine, free from sap
and perfectly seasoned, which is cut
into narrow strips and then glued to-
getheg. The outer edges of this door
are faced with what is called a veneer,
but which is really strip of the fine
wood half an inch or more in thick
ness. The inner edges of the frame,
by the panels, are covered in the same
manner with thick strips, in which the
ornamental mouIdings, or carvings,
are made, and which are grooved to re-
ceive the panels
This built-up frame of white pine,
with edges of the fine wood, is then
veneered with the fine wood. In some
lighter doors the panels may be of
solid mahogany, but in the finer, larger
and heavier doors the panels also are
made of sheets of white pine with q
yeneering of the fine wood, SO that the
entire door is yeneered.
1t would be difficult, if not impos-
cfhIo IN r,roou~o ar qnJ- ancf m hQC9nV
lumber in fine and beautiful woods OF
sufficient size for the larger doors.
The built-up and veneered door of pine
wood, however, has every appearance
of solid door, and, made of selected
Yeneers. it may be more beautiful than
solid door would be. 1t is more
serYiceable and remains longer per-
feet. Its cost is about half what a
solid door would cost.

Accomplishments of the Camel.


81 first formed my opinion OF q
camel some years ago, when I rode
across the Arabian deserts, and I see
no reason to alter 1t in any way. The
creature has SO many talents and SO
many ways OF exhibiting them. And,
to begin with, it can kick, harder. high
er, sWifter and oftener than mule,
and can use all four feet at one time
in a kicking match. Then it can bite
worse than vicious horse, and buck
in way to make broneho blush with
absolute shame. No rider ever lived
who can stay on that perch. seven feet
from the ground, during a camel's ex-
hibition of gymnastics. Then he can
run away when he feels like it, and is
often seized with a desire to slope.
Upon an occasion OF this kind his rider
experiences sensation between being
blown up with dynamite and strug-
Cling against the throes OF an earth
quake, until all his joints are dislo-
Gated, and he drops, limp, inert mass,
to the ground. Then this sweet crea-
ture has a way of eYincing his dis
pleasure that is at least effectual and
convincing. He twists his snake-liks
neck into circle, and, poking his ugly
nose into the face of the rider, opens
his cavernous mouth and let's out a
roar of disgust in such a fetid breath
that elevated human victim is fairly
blown into the middle of the coming
month "a week being too short dis.
tance)."
