TeIegraphic Postage

The idea that letter placed in a
suitable receptacle could be convened
by electricity at rate well-nigh
comparable to that of the express
trains seems to have struck an Ital
ian experimenter, Piscicelli by name
saws the London Chronicle. The near.
est approach to the system is that OF
''telepherage, but here the rate OF
progression is, of course, relatively
slow In the case of the Piscicell
system it is intended that the let.
tiers should be conveyed in boxes
composed along wires arranged or
the overhead system analogous tC
that seen in the tramways Of many
towns. Experiments are to be made
with the system between Rome and
Naples, but there are so many very
obvious difficulties in the way of thu
scheme becoming generally usefu
that we may await the results o.
these experiments before hailing the
invention as a benefit to mankind al
large.

EAGLE DROWNED BY A FISH.
Fhe Bird Undertook to Garry OFF a
Big MusI>aIlonge and Both
Persisted.

A colony of American eagles has
made its home along the shores of
Chautauqua lake for many years. A
story is told of one of these birds that
is truly remarkable, says the Buffalo
Courier
The eagle was gracefully soaring
over the lake when it suddenly darted
with lightning rapidity toward the
water, catching in its talons a muskal-
longe two feet o. more in length. and
weighing probably ten pounds. There
was a clash and spIashing of fins and
feathers, but slowly the bird rose in
the air with its captive dangling and
wriggling below. When at a height
of about 1000 feet the bird, still cling
ing to the fish, began to sink slowly to-
ward the lake again, gaining speed
as it descended and finally fell with a
splash in the water. Later the bird
and fish were found together dead.
The fish had evidently been too
heavy for the eagle to carry, but it's
claws were so firmly imbedded in the
flesh that it could not release its hold,
and as its strength gave way it sank
into the water whence it had sought
its prey and was drowned.

MOUNTAINS OF BAGGAGE.
Trem en- dous Amount Handled in One
New York Railway Station
in September.

Few persons appreciate the tre-
mendous passenger business that is
being handled by the railroads. Here
is an illustration that will open the
eyes of some:
For the first six days of September
there were received at the New York
Grand Central station, 34,259 pieces
of baggage, an average of $500 pieces
per day. During the second week of
September the average was a little
over 5000 pieces per diem. The bag
gage came in so rapidly and there
was such an amount of it to be
handled in a comparatively small
space that it was with the greatest
difficulty that the platforms were
kept clear for incoming trains.
The first week in September is
always the heaviest week in the wear.
so many people returning on the
first of September from the lake and
mountain resorts, in order to put the
children in school. that it makes an
immense traffic. The fact that This
great amount Cf baggage was handled
with reasonable promptitude, saws
the Municipal Journal and Enoineer
and that very few trunks were either
lost or seriously damaged speaks VOL
umes for the efficiency of our trans
portation lines

EMPTY PIPE BRINGS SLEEP.
Odd Remedy for Insomnia suggeste
by One Who Has Tested It's
Efficacy.

After giving a fair and patient trial
to each of many alleged cures for
gleeplessness, the writer stumbled
across a simple method of inducing
somnolence that has the merit of be-
ing harmless and inexpensive. To
smokers the remedy involves no cost
whatever, but Of non-smokers the cap
itaI outlay of the price of pipe is re-
CURED 1t must be wooden pipe, and
curved, not straight
Having retired for the night, the suf
ferer should lie perfectly flat on his
back, discarding pillow rests, and puff
steadily at an empty pipe until he feels
thoroughly drowsy. The desired re-
suit usually is achieved after from
about go to 100 puffs have been made.
The putting should be done slowly, with
deep, inhaling movement. The ex-
pelIing motions must be made DELHI
erately with narrowed mouth. Dur
ing the entire operation the pipe should
not be removed, as each displacing and
replacing movement tends to wal1eful-
ness.
Those capable of great concentra-
ton of thought should, if smokers,
imagine they see volumes of smoke,
and those who eschew the burning
weed will be helped by counting the
puffs.
AS sleep is often successfully wooed
while yet the pipe is in the mouth,
says the New York Mail and Express,
bowls of meerschaum or clay are not
recommended, since these are liable to
be broken when the coming of slumber
allows the pipe to slide from the
mouth. Nervous people may be reas-
sured that there is no danger in fall
ing asleep with the stem edge of
curved pipe caught between ones teeth.
Sleep always causes the grip to be re-
Taxed. That may hold also of straight
pipes, but for other and obvious rea-
sons these are less suitable than those
with curved stems.

WELSH WOMEN AND ENGLISH
Their Inability to Speak tho T
guage Accounted For ina
Singular Manner.

Rev. A. n. Cooper gives the follow
ing amusing explanation of WHY Welsh
women in certain valley in the Snow
don district do not speak English. while
their husbands have a facility in the
Saxon tongue, says the Yorkshire Post
He lost his way and called at a farm
house.
The farmer could speak English and
