To Redeem Postal Cards. .


An order from tho Office Of the
postmaster general, special order
No. TAO, dated July 10, providing
for the redemption Of old and
unused postal cards has been sent
out from Washington.
On August l the postmasters of
the country will begin to redeem
all old and unused postal cards
which have been bought and
printed by the individuals and
firms of the various cities,
These postal cards willbe redeem
ed rs per cent Of their face value
in postage stamps or other stamp
paper. %
or cards treated by bronzing, ena-
melting or other processes wilInot
be redeemed under this order Of
the department, as it only applies
to uncancelled OF unservIceable
cards, which have been purchased
in bulk.
The order Of the department IL
accompanied by schedule show
ing in what mannerthe prices will
be paid for the redeemahle cards.
For instance, / card will not be
taken; l cent will bc paid for two
cards; Z cents for 10 cards; IL
cents for Is cards; IL ccnts for rs
cards; 81 cents for SO cards; 81
cents for rs cards; rs cents for
100 cards, and so on % 20 larger
quantities.
When large purchases are taken
into consideration it will be seen
what benefit this order will be
to the business Of the country.
A particular class to which this
order will be a relief will be to the
insurance companies fraternal So
cieties Of the country, which deal
in large quantities Of postal cards
using them for sending out notices
of meetings, announcements of
assessments and such matters.
The department calls particular
attention to the fact that these
cards are to be redeemed only from
the original purchasers. This is
to prevent speculation, which will
naturally follow in the wake of
such an order. 1t is believed by
the department officials that dur
ing the coming months thousands
of old postals will be sent into the
Office for redemption.

throughout Mississippi have been
requested by the sheriff Of Frank

for John Wilson, a prosperous
young farmer who mysterivusly

three weeks ago. Two theories
are offered for tho disappearance.
The first IL that the young man Is
IN demented state and is wander-

Itle credence Is placed in this theo-
ry, however, and stronger belief
is current to the effect that Will

Mayor capdevielIe to Go to Orleans
Parish.

| Arrangements have been per.
fected to convey Mayor Capde.
yielle from his Bay st. Louis home
Into the Orleans parish lines foi
tho purpose Of attaching his Sig.
nature to the papers that have
been prepared for the formal
transfer of the $4,000 donation
Of the Simon Hernsheim heirs to
the Fisk Free aud Public Library.
This, il is expected, will be done
next Monday. Mayor Capdeyiel-
les health has improved suiii-
ciently for him to undertake tile
trip. He will be brought to Chef
Menteur, or some other poift in
Orleans parish, on the steam
launch of Mr.. Albert Baldwin,Jr.
and will then comply with the re-
quisites necessary to signing such
documents.
The donation was made in
honor of the memory Of Simon
Hernsheim. To some Of the con-
ditions precedent, both Messrs.
Fitzpatrick and Flower, as former
mayors of this city, objected.
Their objections were adhered TO
by Mr.. Capdevielle when he as
sumed the reins OF government.
| Finally Mr.. E. b. Krutschnitt
as attorney for the Hernsheim
heirs, succeeded in framing anoth-
or act OF donation, whose condi-
tions proved acceptable to all par.
ties at interest. The delay in the
consummation Of tho transfer,
however, was occasioned by the
recent serious illness of Mayor
Capdevielle.
As all parties are now agreed on
the terms upon which the dona-
tion is to be made, it was deter
miped to bring Mayor CapdeyielIe
into the parish of Orleans to sign
the papers. This will be done
Monday, and a transaction that
has extended over d term of sew
eral years and given no little trou-
bic both to the donors and the
city will be consummated.
by the terms OF the last act the
library is to be known as the New
Orleans Free Library. Upon all
stationery and printed matter Is to
be printed "The New Orleans
Free Library" and under this
name IS to appear "The Fisk Ii
brary," and "The Hernsheim Lib
rary."
The Hernsheim donation is to
be used for the purchase Of books
and for such other uses as the
trustees may elect. There is
nothing in the acceptance of the

California Humminr BIRD.

: The nest is about the size of half the
Shell of a common ducks egg and is
made of plant down and cobwebs, with
slight outside garniture of moss, be-
ing much less compact and interest
ing structure than that of the eastern
ruby throat. 1t is placed on twig of
a cork elm, a little too high to be look
ed into from the piazza, and in all
probability Is kept In it's precarious
positon-for the twig upon which it
rests is no thicker than an ordinary
lead pencil-by a glutinous substance
collected by the bird from the honey
bearing flowers which it visits in Sc
curing food.
The little occupant-a somewhat
smaller bird than the female ruby
throat-allowS herself to be observed
from the distance of four or five feet,
though her attitude is one of great
alertness, and any sudden movement
on the part Of her observer will imme-
diately send her off There is some
thing in the position of the eye, so
far up in the head, in the long and
very slightly curved bill and in the
short up tlirted tail as she sits rather
high in her tiny nest that is suggestive.

Why Eyes Are Light and Darl

An interesting point is the cause of
the different shades of color we see in
the eyes. On a certain membrane in
the interior are numerous cells called
pigment cells. When these are pres
ent in very great numbers they pro-
duce that deep black color of some
eyes and in proportion to their num-
bers decrease also the depth of color
till finally a light blue is reached. In
Certain eyes these pigment cells do not
exist at all, being wanting, indeed, all
through the system, hair and skin. A
person of this description is called an
albino, and among animals we find
parallel in the case of the white rab-
