Millions Wasted In Stamps.

An experienced clerk in a branch
postoffice uptown says that Uncle
Sam is in pocket every year more
than s1,OOO,OOO by the purchases Of
postage stamps which never are used.
How many stamps" he says, do
you lose through carrying them care
lessly in your pockets and fishing
them out again. glued together and
useless? How many do you put In a
corner Of your pocket book, finding
them again months later looking like
anything but postage stamps? OF
course, nobody ever thinks Of sending
such stamps in for redemption. Sup
pose the waste am speaking of aver
aged 20 cents annually for each busi-
ness man. The total would be enor-
nous.
Hot weather was a great revenue
maker for the government before the
little oil books came in but many
persons lose their books and the av-
sons actually come back to the stamp
window and ask if lost stamp books
can be traced, like bank books. Anoth-
er way in which Uncle Sam gains is
through men sending out letters inclos-
ing stamped addressed envelopes for
replies, which in the majority of cases
are never used.
Some business houses collect such
envelopes and redeem them, but few
take the trouble to do this. Think Of
the thousands Of return postal
cards, too, that are never used. Lots
of persons are careless of putting
stamps on letters or papers, and they
fall off. Then the matter is held up
for double postage on the other end
Of the line.
"A great many persons put on too
much postage. They slap two 2-cent
stamps on letter that would have
gone for 2-centS. 1t is amazing how
little information usually we'll inform
ed persons have about different classes
of mail matter. They pay for it, too.
and pay we'll The beauty Of our pos
tai system is that the government gets
the benefit Of all nistakes.'-New

GET DRUNK ON COLOGNE.
Indians of Northwestern Canada Fond
of Toilet Preparations.

Of Toilet Preparations.
Eau de cologne and other toilet prep
arations are doing a great deal OF
harm among the Indians Of Peace Riv-
er district in northwestern Canada, &C
cording to a member Of the Canadian
Geological survey, who has just re-
turned from a visit to that region.
The harm comes from the fact that
the Indians drink them.
Cologne and various other concoc-
tions known as Florida water, essence
of ginger and essence Of peppermint
are prepared especially for internal
use by traders, who are not permitted
to sell whisky to the Indians. The
stuff. is in reality nine-tenths pure al
cohol. ]. M. Macoun, Of the Canadian
survey, says that the traffic in alcohol
thus disguised has become such Sc
rious matter that the missionaries
have become discouraged and the busi-
ness of the Hudson Bay company
promises to be embarrassed.
The Indians have learned that the
sweet smelling things are to drink, and
are not to be wasted as exterior oint-
ments If one were to consult the Do
minion records of importations, one
would suppose that the Indian half
breeds of the northwest had suddenly
developed a remarkable fondess for
cleanliness, for the customs reports
show an unusual increase In the quan-
tity of toilet waters imported. Most OF
these preparations come from the
United States.
According to Mr.. Macoun, the effects
of drinking these preparations are
very serious. The cologne Is especial
ly injurious, as it has shown ten
dency to affect the eyesight Of Indians
drinking it continuously.
An Indian who has drunk pint bot
tie Of cologne contracts jag which
would put a continuous round Of ten
Manhattan cocktails to shame. The
prevailing tint of everything, accord
ing to a few intelligent half-breeds
who had used cologne, was a beautiful
green. or varying shades.
Mr.. Macoun also asserts that he took
one drink of cologne just to see what
sort Of stuff the Indians were drinking
and found it so sweet and nauseating,
and at the same time so burning hot,
that he was glad to end his expert
ments. The essence Of peppermint
water, if taken in moderate quantities,
and the essence of ginger, he thought,
might be beneficial to persons exposed
to the rigor Of the northern climates,
but it would be far better to secure
unadulterated essences prepared at
chemists, rather than to drink the
stuff prepared for the Indians and
half -breeds.-Ottawa Dispatch.

NAVAL ENCOURAGEMENT Admiral

POTENTIAL ROYALTIES.

Almost Twelve Thousand Living Per.
sons With Rights to Britain's Throne.
1t will be news to many people that
there are almost 10000 living persons
who have British royal blood in their
veins. There are, and the Marquis de
Ruvigny, who finds his recreation in
genealogical research, proves 1t In a
thick volume just issued in England.
The marquis gives the names of
11,723 living persons who are legiti-
mate descendants of Edward vi, Hem
ry VII, Of England, and James III, Of
Scotland, with pedigrees to show how
they obtain that distinction. The list
includes the names of every Christian
crowned head in the world, except the
Kings of Sweden and Servia and the
Princes of Monaco and Montenegro,
and most of the higher nobility Of Eu-
ropean countries.
1t also includes scores Of common
ers-humble Smiths, Browns and
Joneses in the most modest circum-
stances. whom nobody would think of
associating with royal pedigree. The
marquis numbers them in the order Of
their nearness to the head Of the fam
lily and-if descent really counted in
that matter-to the British throne.
1t doesn't for the act of settlement
of 1901 barred the Catholic sons Of
Elizabeth, Queen Of Bohemia, sister Of
Charles 1, from the succession and
settled it on the children Of her Prot
estant daughter, the Electress Of
Hanover, beginning with George 1.
All the same, though, the marquis,
taking the view of the ardent legiti-
mist, labels as No. / Of the blood royal
Mary Theresa Henrietta Dorothea,
Princess Louise, Of Bavaria, whom he
describes as "heiress Of the House Of
Stuart and by hereditary right Queen
of England, Scotland, France and Ire
land"
Of course in the family pedigree, she
comes before Edward VII, the actual
king. in the marquiss book. So do
Don Carlos, of Spain, dozens Of Eu-
ropean princelings and hundreds of
commoners. But that unlucky act of
settlement bars 'em all.
If among the lineal descendants of
these three kings were counted those
whose pedigrees are crossed with the
bar sinister no book would hold them
all. The marquis counts only the legi-
mate lines.-New York Sun.

"Oh, Gwen" he cried, without a
word of greeting, much less of COM
miseration, "we have had such ride"
And he spread out the sunlit, round
topped hills before her till could feel

the Duke had never dared to do, fear
ing to grieve her with pictures Of wh,'.
she should look upon no more. But as
the Pilot talked, before she knew,
Gwen was out again upon her beloved
hills breathing their fresh, sunny air,
filling her heart with their multitu-
dinous delights till her eyes grew bright
and the lines Of fretting smoothed out
Of her face and she forgot her pain.

General Merritt's Efforts in Behalf of

The friendship of General Wesley Merritt for Arizona has been demon strated many times since he visited tho city two or three years ago. Since his appointment to the position CT indus trial commissioner of the santa F2 railroad. with headquarters at Chi cago. he has done great deal to direct the attention Of those looking for new homes., toward the Salt river valley.
 He is kept supplied with literature. and distributes it faithfully to all ap plicants for information. Some time ago he sent to the secretary of the board of trade q list of names Of peopte to whom it would be desirable to ad dress letters direct and furnish infor mation direct. and the secretary has been doing some good work on the lines he suggested.

Inquiry from the of fcers of the order develops the infOr- nation that large class of candidates from all parts of the territory will be initiate and the attendance of mem bers will be greater than usual. Only Knights Templar or g degree Masons can become mem bers of this order, but the local temple with this class will have membership of two hundred.
 The programme for the day is as fol- lows: Business session for reception of petitions will he held at f p. rn.: ban cuet from to 7;3c p. h.. and promptly at 7:30 the ceremonial session will open and the orders be conferred. All mem bers Of the order, whether members Of the local order or not. and the candi-
 dates elect are expected to attend the banquet which has been arranged to precede the ceremonies on this occa- sion. Late corners will. however, find Il buffet lunch in the banquet room from S:3O until midnight. Dress suits, jew els and fez, the proper dress for Shrin CTS on occasions of this sort. are eX- rected to be worn by the members of the order Candidates will probably feel better satisfied to wear their old clothes There will be no street parade.
