THE PNEUMAYIC MATT SERVICE

Perhaps the savage attack made by Congressman Moody the other day on
 some of the men and methods that have
 been connected with the pneumatic
 mall service was justifiable. But there
 is sure to be protest against the abo-
 lition or crippling of a service which
 has already been found very useful and can evidently be made much more so. What may be called the main Central station and the general office in Manhattan and between that office and the headquarters of the Brooklyn postal authorities. These lines are of great service. They suggest compari- sons between the sending of messages by rail and by wire. They render pos sible deliveries which, under other con- ditions, would have to be deferred until the following day. Such a saving Is vital in New York. It is said that the business men who are now running the pneumatic tubes haven't made any money out of their contract with the government, and that they are doing their work we'll. More seems to be needed and wanted, and it is probable that the Senate will not initiate the House in its action con- cerning the matter.

FALSE HAIR. FALSE LOVE.

An Iowa incident gives food for sol
 emn thought. An Iowa young man not | long ago proposed marriage to young woman and was accepted. But hearing that her hair was false he declined to fulfil his engagement. She brought suit against him for breach of promise, and,
 being put on the stand, admitted that she wore wig. Whereupon she was
 non-suited on the ground that she had won the young mans affections under false pretences.
 This young mans love evidently hung
 by a hair or by hair. It wasn't very valuable. If he had truly loved the young woman he wouldn't have minded
 the wig or any of the lies she might have told or acted about it. She is well rid of him, But it is a serious matter to have a court say or hint that a young woman can't legally and safely fix herself up so as to look her best while she is being courted. If false hair is illegal in such case why Is not a false complexion illegal? Why are not many other improvers of wo- mans beauty also illegal? And what shall be said of those more important deceptions as to disposition and charac- ter which both young men and young women indulge in when they are set ting traps for each other? What Is false hair compared with false heart or no heart?

To the Editor of the Journal and Courier:
 I take my pen in hand to say that many of your readers must be in sym pathy with "Eousekeeper." On some streets the nuisance of dust has been but little abated by the coming Of the long looked for watering carts. Crown street, between Temple and fork streets, is not sprinkled every day, and so little water is deposited that in half an hour a cloud of dust is raised by every vehicle that passes
 We property holders do not propose to pay our sprinkling assessments without protesting if it continues to be done so scantily and inefficiently.

The plain tailor gown holds its own, and among the current elaborate cloth affairs it's plainness passes at full value. This class of gown Is a feature of the wardrobe of almost every woman. One woman pays about s25, the next from $40 to s75, the next gets up to $100 or $125,i she can hardly go further with out dropping into elaborations that take the costume out of the plain tailor class.

With the object of encouraging emil grafton to the fertile regions recently opened up by the Trans-Siberian rail- road, the Russian government has given orders for the issue of tickets at a cheap rate. These special tickets will be is- sued for Tobolsk, Irkutsk and, beyond there, for Vladivostok and Port Arthur. One ticket, apparently, will cover a whole family, and will be available at something like 114 stations on the line Of route. The zone tariff has been adopted. From any point in Russian Europe to Tobolsk the price per head has been fixed at two rubles. Beyond Tobolsk to any spot in the vast Siberian region the charge for these emigrant tickets will be four and one-half rubles head-that is to say, that for about $3.62 one will be able to travel distance of over 5000 kiloms, or something like 1000 miles.

The entire structure on it's foun- dations this time will go down to solid rock, and as consequence the com memorative shaft now to be erected will, it is thought, be durable.

Nineteen professional sheep shearers

them busy for over a month. The men
use especially designed power instru-

The trusting sheep are enticed into
pens where they are at the mercy of
the shearers, who are paid by the
piece. and consequently work with,all
possible speed. The up%-to-date shear
ing instrument operates on the same
plan as a BARRIERS hair clipper, and
makes a clean sweep of several inches
in its trips back and forth across the
body of a sheep. The most skillfui
shearers work the clippers with great
Iexterity. and as they proceed the wool
falls away in a solid bunch as though
the animal had been skinned instead
OF shorn. When the clipper has fin
isfed its work the wool lies IN the floor
