POSTAL ODDITIES.

With one exception there has been a
deficit in postal revenues every year
since 1885.
Thousands Of letters are mailed ev-
cry day without the vestige Of an ad-
dress to indicate for whom they are in
tended.
Mail matter OF any kind addressed
in a vague and indefinite way, such as
to THE most prominent physician, A"
etc. is not deliverable.
Benjamin Franklin, first postmaster
general. boasted that under his admin
istration all the cities Of the country
had been provided with a weekly mail.
One may mail a letter destined for
foreign parts without prepayment Of
postage 1t will 90 forward TO destina-
tion, and the recipient will be required
TO pay double rates for the privilege Of
reading it IL he values it sufficiently.
At the Chicago post Office a record is
kept of the different ways of spelling
the name of that city on mail address
es. At last accounts $50 varieties had
been tabulated. Among the less intri-
cate of these are zizazo. Jagjago, Hipa-
ho, Jajijo and Chachicho.

durability of appearance that warrant the

The small bamboo canes split into fine
strips and softened with heat and humidity
make the wrought panels for screens, dhe
picture frames, easels, wall racks, etc.
But the whole reeds Of from three TO
twelve inches in diameter. sawed in appro-
pirate lengths, are also made into useful
table and household articles.
Sugar bowls spoon holders, salvers,
hand trays and cigar cases are thus con-
structed. and quaint drinking utensils Of
a fashion to interest even the most cas-
ual observer. odd cases for the incense
that IS burnt TO scent rooms and halls are
made of bamboo.
Many of the prettiest bamboo furnish

are reproductions of pieces picked ar
abroad by travellers and private collectors
having in mind the particular country
house owner who would appropriate the
same. Furnishings in imitation Of BAN
boo are also to be had executed with more
or less cleverness.
