Carriers to Sell Money Orders.

AS rnpidly ns possible the Postofiice
Department is equipping carriers on
rural free delivery routes with Il new
form of money order books. whereby
carriers will be able to take money
from patrons. issue them receipt. pur-
chase money orders ut the end Of their
route. and either mail them direct for
purchasers, or turn them over next
day. This is not the complete money
order system that 1t is hoped may
eventually be adopted in the rural free
delivery delivery service. but is first
step in that direction.
The books in question consist of an
order and two stubs. one II receipt
given by rural carriers upon taking
money from n patron, and another
which is the receipt held by the carrier
when he turns the money over to the
postmaster himself retaining the third
norton of the sheet. or the order made
out by the patron.
This new service has already been in
operation for several weeks in eastern
states, and is now making its way into
the West. Where IL has been tried ii
has proven most successful, and Is
readily taken advantage of by patrons
of rural routes. So rapidly have they
taken hold, in fact. that ninety per
cent. of the money heretofore sent
through the mails by registered mail is

A Dream of Copper.

The dream that is SAID to have re-
vealed to n young chemist in Pennsyl-
vania the secret OF tempering copper
canr.ot be accounted among the idle
fancies of the brain should his expert
ments prove as successful as they
promise 1t is n practical vision that
supplies formula to experiment upon
that may result in restoring what mas
for centuries been considered lost
art.
The psychological part of the Penn
sylvania Incident does not show, how
ever. that the dreamer was blessed
with an outright revelation. He had
long been experimenting with copper
in an effort to obtain the required
hardness that would make 1t cut steel.
and. like a shrewd American, he had
in view the large reward said to have
been offered by the government Tor the
discovery of such formula. TINS
task naturally affected his sleeping as
well as his waking hours. and 1t was
subconscious suggestion that at last
gave him clew to what he sought. A
sample OF tempered copper. sent 10

Pine Weedfer.

1t having been announced some time
since that oil of pine was beneficial in
relieving pulmonary complaints 1t
seems that since then quite an indus
try has sprung up in Oregon in its
manufacture. The oil is made from
pine needles, which are stripped from
the trees twice year. Some of the
trees, it Is said, yield from 600 to 500
pounds of leaves at each picking a
good hand being able to pick about
500 pounds day. AS soon as picked
the leaves are sent to the factory,
where the oil Is extracted by distilla-
tion, ten pounds of oil being produc-
ed from two thousand pounds Of
leaves. The fibre that remains is wo-
ven into fabrics and mixed with hair
for mattresses. 1t is also used as a
filling for cigars, to which it imparts
a pleasant quality. A notable fact
connected with the process is that it is
considered a benefit to the trees to
strip them twice year. Those engag-
ed in the industry are mostly Ger
mans.
