rr.c Government. Man Pouches.

\ The life Of IN average leather mail
pouch is about twenty years, and 1t
will receive many repairs during It's
official existence. Leather, however.
Is too heavy for the purpose, though
most durable. The Government pays
letter postage transportation rates to
the railroads on the bag as well as
on its contents, so the department Is
gradually retiring leather pouches and
substituting those made of canvas.
These last about sever years and are
three times MS light as leather. Even
the weight IN these pouches has been
lessened two pounds by a device for
fastening them at the top and locking
them securely, doing away with the
strap and steel staples of familiar
sight.
Our mail bags average $50 trips a
year, and a single bag will find Its way
to the shop on G street for repairs
many times before its life is officially
declared to be ended. Last year 49,.
900 were condemned. There We're also
repaired 1,3S4,2o0 and 10000 made in
the shop. Quite a local industry, as
you perceive. The department. also
purchased 10000 pouches.
The Government owns all told 1,050,-
600 mail pouches. To meet an emer
gency several years ago the shop on
G street turned out 10000 bags in two
months. We keep two-thirds of the
stock In use, and one-third is held in
Washington and at various postoffices
as n reserve. The Government pays
out about $275,000 annually for the
mail equipment Of this character

relt,nr Brides with Flowers.

The custom Of showering bridal cou-
pies with rice is as old as the monu-
mental hills. 1t is sometimes attend
ed with ~disagreeable results, bat is
still persisted In at most matrimonial
functions. Ap improvement upon this
custom which seems likely and ought
to become popular, was observed at q
pretty wedding celebrated at Lake
Geneva. Wis, just before the close OF
the outing season. The plazzas and
lawns of the brides home were beau
tifully decorated with hydrangeas,
which the extensive gardens furnished
in unusual profusion. The altar ar
ranged Mt one end of the parlor was
beautifully decorated and powered
with the same blooms. mingled with
ferns and evergreens. Bunches Of the
blossoms stood in large Jars and vases
in the spacious hall and banked the
great fireplace. When the newly we'd
ded pair started Away in the late af-
ternoon the guests lined the way from
the house to the entrance gate Of the
grounds, every n provided with
hygrandeas, and through this lane of
pelting flowers the bridal carriage was
driven. 1t was a poetic and pictur-
esque change from the usual rice
shower.-Chicago Record-Heraldf

st. Jacobs Oil For Chest-Coids, Bron.
chitls. Group. md PIeurisY.

An outward application for bronchial Diff
culties is many times far more effective than
Jyrups, cough mixture, cod liver oil, &C.,
simply because it penetrates through to the
iirect cause, which is, as a rule, an accumula-
don of matter or growth tightly adhered to
the bronchial tubes.
st. Jacobs Oil, possessing as it does those
wonderful penetrating powers, enables 1t to
loosen these adhesions and to induce free ex-
pectoration. Cases have been known where
SPECIFICATIONS nave been examined after st.
Jacobs Oil has been applied, and the exact
formation was clearly shown, where the adj
hesions had been removed or pulled off the
bronchial tubes. All irritation of the del
icate mucous membrane of the bronch@ Is
quickly removed by the healing and soothing
properties of st. Jacobs Oil. In cases of Group
md whooping cough in children st. Jacobs
Oil will be found superior to any other
remedy.
st. Jacobs Oil is for sale throughout the
world. FS.sslean to use-Iloi at all greasy or
oily, as its name might imply. For rheu-
matism, govt, ~sciatioa, neuralgia, cramp,
pleurisy, lumbago, sore throat, bronchitis,
soreness, stiffness, bruises, toothache, head
ache, backache, feetache, pains in the chest,
pains in the back, pains in the shoulders,
pains In the limbs, and all bodily aches and
pains it has no equal. 1t acts like magic.
Safe, sure, and never failing.

THE nan WHO WON.

He kept his soul inspected
As he went upon his way,
And he tried to do some service
For Gods people day by day;
He had time to cheer the doubter
Who complained that hope was dead;
He had time to help the cripple
When the way was rough ahead;
He had time to guard the orphan, and,
one day. well satisfied
With the talents God had given hiE he
closed his eyes and died
He had time to see the beauty
That the Lord spread all around;
He had time to hear the music
In the shells the children found;
He had time to keep repeating
As he bravely worked away:
"It is splendid to be living
In the splendid world to.day!"
But the crowds-the crowds that hurry

No Chinese %potentate has ever been
without his precious amulet. 1t is
recorded of a former "son Of heaven
that his talisman was n bracelet which
he wore upon his forearm.
The result was that when his celes-
tial majesty was stricken with
paralysis. the use Of that particular
arm was preserved to him and he was
able to issue his DEGREES as usual.
But the full extent of the amulet's
mystic power was only revealed at the
Emperor's death.
Three days after that event, when
the priests were viewing the body, the
removal of the bracelet vas suggested.
Instantly the hand was lifted up in
depreciation of the proposal, which was
%thereupon abandoned. At least, so
runs the story.

Reckoned by European standards
as the greatest statesman China has
ever produced Ii Hung Chang had al
ways held an enviable position among
his countrymen. Earl Ii was essen
TALLY a Chlnaman with all his wisdom.
There was no doubt of his shrewdness,
but he shined as q statesman more In
contrast than In merit, according to
the views Of many who had come in
personal contact with him. Neverthe'
less, Ii Hung Chang will go down in
the annals Of history as n Of the
greatest of Chinese, and many rank
him with Bismarck and Gladstone.
Earl Ii was born in the province
of Anu-Huei on February 10, 1923.
In 1860, while Governor of the prov,
ince of Thlang-Sin, he aided Chinese
Gordon in crushing the TAPPING rebel

came under his sway. and in 1865 he
was made Viceroy of the United Coun-
tries. In 1866 he was appointed Min
lister Plenipotentiary, In 1867 Viceroy
of Hong-Kuang and in 1868 a Grand
Chancellor. After the Tien-Tsin mas
sacre, in 1870, he was punished on the
charge Of not having aided the COM
handing general, but two years later
the Emperor restored to him his titles
and the office of Grand Chancellor.
After the first few Chinese defeats
In the war with Japan he was severely
blamed by the Pekin Government for
the unprepared condition Of the army
and navy, and was called to the capt
tai. He went, but at the head of a
small army of sturdy retainers. so no
personal violence was done him, but
he was stripped of his decorations and
honors. Later he was restored to ia
vor, and on the dismissal from Japan
OF the first Chinese peace ENJOYS,
whose credentials were fatally defec-
tive, all eyes turned to the famous
yiceroy, who was known and respect
ed by the japanese officers of state as
the man who should head the next
peace commission from the Flowery
Kingdom, 1t being rightly assumed
that the papers %accrediting him as an
envoy would confer full powers for
negotiating.
1t was in 1897 that Earl Ii paid his
famous visit to this country, accom-
panied by the immense retinue or MS
household. His reception was In
keeping with his high rank. ana, as
Will be remembered, he saw much to
interest him, and his peculiar habit OF
asking abrupt and pointed questions
had full play. Before coming here
Earl Ii visited England and Ger

equally cordial. =.

Hung Chang was Viceroy of Canton,
and his attitude is said to have done
much in preventing the spread of the
revolt. When the time for peace ar
rived Earl Ii fastened to Pekin. de-
snite his seventy-eight years, and had
been busy since in his efforts to save
the face of the Emperor and Empress
Dowager in the negotiations with the
