Millions Wasted in Postage Stamps.
Washington Times.

Washington Times
 An experienced clerk in a branch post office says that Uncle Sam is in pocket every year nor than $1.OOO,OOO by pur- chase of postage stamps which never are used.
 How many stamps" he says, do you lost through carrying them carelessly in xour 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 send ing such stamps in for redemption. Sup nose the waste I am speaking of averaged 20 cents annually for each business man. The total would be enormous.
 Hot weather was grea revenue v,a,xer for the Government before the little oiled books came in; but many per sons lose their. books, and the average is about the same.
 s.some persons actually come back to the stamp window and ask if lost stamp fooks can be traced, like bank books. Another way in which Uncle Sam gains "a through tradesmen sending out letters jncIosing stamped addressed envelopes for replies, which in the majority of cases are never used.
 .sSome business houses collect such en- velopes and redeem them, but few take tbe trouble to do this. Think of the thousand 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 or the other end of the line.
 "A great many persons put on too nucf hostage. They slap two 2-cent stamps or a letter that would have gone for cents Tt sg amazing how little information usu aItv weli-informed persons have abou different classes of mail mater. They nav for it, too, and pay we'll The beauty os oar postal system is that the Govern meat Eets the benefit of all mistakes

ON THE MAKE.
. Number of City Officials Were
 Very Prosperous.

St. Joseph, Mo. Sept. 25.-The report of expert accountants who have been working on the books of the city under the direction of Mayor John V. Starr has astonished the citizens of this city.
 The period under investigation is from January 1, 1901, to March 31, last. The report alleges that hundreds of receipts for vouchers for warrants issued by the city are missing. the total amounting to $22,S56. Paid vouchers for nearly $1,5OO show no approval by the Council, and there is no record for contracts for street work, aggregating thousands of dollars. Neither Is there verifcation of saloon licenses. nor the fees collected. Hun- dreds of license stubs are missing, as are also water license stubs. Warrants paid by the City Treasurer that do not bear the endorsement of the Mayor exceed 5000, and there appears to be no record of special assessments. The books of the treasurer show no remittances for several months, while disbursements for loan and interest on the city debt have been made without the authority of the Council.

their machines and their humblest tools have style, an air of elegance. The finish of the cheapest French tool is good. For elegance and good taste the machinery of the French is unsur- passed. This trait the French auto mobile shows.
 German tools are good. but not ele- gant and not light. They incline to curved surfaces. This trait is well shown in them by contrast with the angular, race horse-like contours of the American tool.
 American tools and machinery are characterized by their direct, plain, simple design; by the use in them of the lghtest, best alloys and the newest steels; by a saving of weight that re- suits in hollow structure wherever pos sible; by a race-horse leanness of ap- pearance. In simplicity the American tools are by far tht best. In elegance and finish they excel the tools of all other nations but the French"

TO PROPAGATE OYSTERS,
Mississippi Commission Is Now Consid- ering the Best Methods to Follow.


 Jackson, Miss, May 29.-The best methods of propagating oysters on the Gulf coast is the problem that is now engaging the attention of the Missis- sippi Oyster commission, which was appointed by Governor Longino some time ago. The last legislature made an appro- priation of S5,OOO per annum to be used by the commission for this work, and this sum is to be expended during the summer. It is the general plan to mix the oysters to be planted with shells. about 1000 barrels of oysters being used to 50.O00 barrels of shells.
 Oystermen are unanimous in the opin- ion that the planting of oysters alone is failure, and among some it is thought that portion oE the appropria- ton should be used in employing dredge boats to break up the reefs where the oysters are too thick.
 A contract for 100000 barrels of shells at 1 cent per barrel will at once be made. The government will be asked to furnish an expert to direct the work. this having been done at the request of the State of Alabama some time since.

FLORIDA TIMBER DIMINISHED.
Cause of Anxiety as Forests Are One
 of States Greatest Resources.

Washington, May 29.-The forests of Florida are one of the states greatest sources of revenue, q revenue that is being consumed with great rapidity. Speculation from regions farther north have lately been buying and cutting large areas of forests in Florida, and the timber supply is greatly diminished.
 In reply to inquiries concerning Flor ida forests, George B. Sudworth of the Bureau of Forestry. United States de- partment of agriculture, has supplied the following information:
 The wooded area of the state is esti- mated q 37.7O0 square miles. or 70 per cent of the total area, much of which is occupied by merchantable timber. Florida forests have not suffered great ly from fire in the past, chiefly because much of the state was uninhabited and unfit for agriculture or grazing. More over, numerous streams and swamps interesecting the pine forests greatly lessened widespread danger from fire.
 The greatest increase in the cutting of timber in Florida appeared from 1890 to 1900. when th. previous lumber pro- duct of the state was doubled.
 Great destruction has been done to the pure pine forests by the injurious method of "boxing" trees for turpen- tine. thus killing the older growth and allowing fire to prevent reproduction
 Because of the increasing demands upon the states forests and the gen eral attention which the subject of for est protection has received. interest has lately been aroused in Florida Tor the protection of the forests. and in the need of additional forest legislation and enforcement of existing laws. The most urgent needs are for an adequate fire law
