Postal Gard Inscriptions.

An English newspaper has this to say:
Perhaps the most striking OF all IN
stances of the difficulty Of avoiding am
blguity when one endeavors 0ike the
Thrifty advertiser) to be laconic Is to be
seen in the history of postal cards. AL
least a dozen attempts have been made
mostly in our own language-to express
the simple proposition that the message
on a postal card must be confined to one
q de. Even yet the problem Is not wholly
solved Our own former inscription, me
address only to be written on this SIDE,
was held to bar the use OF typewriter or
a printing press. which was not at all
the Intention Of the postoffiee The only
has now been dropped, in Difference to a
colonial precedent. and there Is no III
rect prohlbition against carrying the let
ter over to the face OF the postal cara;
vet the correspondent who tries the plan
will hardly be pleased by the recipient
who Is fined a penny.
The United States had no fewer tnan
six shots before they could satisfy thenl-
selves in the apparently simple matter
On their early postal cards they an n
placed on this side" which was neither
frue nor elegant Nothing but the ad-
dress to be on this side was more to the
point, but looked clumsy, and the next
issue had Write only the address on
this side" which was objected 20 as bar
ring the typewriter. Write the address
onIv on this side, the message on the
other" followed. and was promptly crit
icised as being both clumsy and ambisu-
oua' Then the word only was dropped,
with much Improvement. Finally Brother
Jonathan gave up his struggle to be
original. and simply adapted the French
announcement into This side for address
only" When a government department
canot do better than this, the mere pri-
vate advertiser may take heart; and
after all, " any one ever misled by these
ambiguous advertisements?

Bloodhounds as Detectives.

The Century.
In the West the bloodhound Ia now ex-
tensiveiy used In the detection OF crime
and the capture Of criminals. The mod
ern criminal 10 a very elusive person. he
is always abreast Of the time ana, quiet
skiiful and often courageous. he has
this advantage. that he usually does his
work at night. When he has completed
his task he silently makes his escape
frequently leaving behind him no clue by
which his movements may be traced. 20,
at least, he believes; but. try as he VIII
he must leave some clue. Intangible, m
visible as 1t is. 1t yet exists-the peculiar
odor of the human body. 1t Is q certain
guide to his footsteps; science cannot eff
face it ingenuity cannot wipe It OUT.
This odor Is as distinctive as the features
of the face No matter where he moves;
no matter whether his trail is crossed
by thousand others OF his kind; no mat
ter where the rains have fallen or hours
have elapsed since his foot pressed the
earth the trail is still there and may be
followed. There Is only one animal, how
ever, which can infailibly trace out the
scent after 1t has been on the ground fol-

The Nan Who is Ahead.

The Orange (va.) Observer breaks out
with the following sentimental song:
''There is the man behind the counter
and the man behind the gun. the man
behind the buzz saw and the man behind
his son; the man behind the times and
the one behind his rents, the man behind
the ploughshares and the man behind the
fence: and the man behind the whistle
and the man behind the bars, and the
man behind the kodak and the man be-
! mind the cars; the man behind the whis-
ikars and the man behind his list. and
everything behind thing Is entered on
the list. But they have slipped another
fellow of whom nothing has been said
the fellow who Is even or just little
ways ahead; who always pays for what
he gets and whose bill Is always signed
he's a blamed sight more important than
the man who Is behind. All we newspaper
people and merchants and the whole CON-
mercial clan are indebted for existence To
this honest, noble man. He keeps us all
IN business and his town Is never dead
and 80 you all take you hat OF to the man
who is ahead. y

He said he spoke to jackson. VINO was
drunk and cursed him several times.

The effect of blue light In reducing in

the results of his investigations on the
effect of the blue rays on tuberculosis and

One Hundred Years of Trousers.

LOHuOh ICic6h oPA'
Most people will be surprised to near
that trousers, as at present worn by the
male portion of humanity, have just eel
ebrated their centenary. but. according 10
Fashion, such Is undoubtedly the case.
They came In on account of the high
living prevalent a hundred years ago
This produced a great deal of govt whose
twinges the tight-ftttng costume In use
at that period made unbearable- Hence
the invention OF the wider form Of gar
ment. which soon became popular and
was adopted by many royal personages at
home and abroad. Among the dandtes OF
the period. however. the, new style was
regarded with contempt. and when AL
maok's was at it's height as fashionable
resort the great Duke of Wellington was
once refused admission because he pre-
scented himself In trousers instead Of the
(for that time) orthodox neither garments.
So far has their sway now extended that
they threaten to supplant even the Scot
fish kilt.

How They Talk in Vermont.

Springfield Republican Qnd)
The campaign in Vermont is not disap-
pointing those who looked for an unstir-
ring of the State. The people all seem
to be talking, and this Is the way the
discussion runs. as we learn from one
town typical of all:
Prohibitionist-Do you want saloon
here2
License Advocate-We have one already
The town agency sells 5000 worth OF
liquor year.
Northumberland you have Local
option and let all the surrounding towns
in here to drink when they want prohibi
ton themselves?
License Advocate-wslI. this town
agency now sells to the people of the sur
rounding towns all the liquor they want
and II could not do more under license.
Wieg-He who steals my purse steals
trash, but he who steals my good name.
