POSTAL ODDITIES.

With one exception there has been n
deficit in postal revenues every year
since 1885.
Thousands Of letters are mailed ev-
cry day without the vestige of an I'D
dress to indicate for whom they are in
tended.
Mail matter of any kind addressed
in u vague and indefinite way, such as
to "the most prominent physician"
etc., is not deliverable.
Benjamin Franklin, first postmaster
general, boosted that under his admin
istration all the cities of the country
had been provided with weekly mail.
One may mail letter destined for
foreign parts without prepayment of
postage. 1t will go forward to destina-
ton, and the recipient will be required
to pay double rates for the privilege Of
reading 1t If he values it sufficiently.
AT the Chicago post office 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-
no, Jajijo and Chachicho.

When standing before a looking glass;
notice If your shoulders are the same
height. Generally the right is higher
than the left. The reason for this un-
evenness lies in the way one sits. You
get into comfortable chair at your
desk, and at once you rest your right
elbow on the arm of your chair or your
desk, thus throwing one shoulder high
er than the other. This is especially
the case where one writes great deal
When you notice that one shoulder is
higher than the other, the thing to do
is to change your way of sitting at your
desk. Two simple exercises will be
beneficial. The arm of the lower Shout
der should be extended upward, the
iland grasping dumbbell. That of the
higher shoulder should be lowered and
made to support heavy weight.

A Henrtx Enter.

There is story in the French army
Of captain who made wager one
day that drummer of his company
could eat a whole calf. The drummer,
proud of his distinction, promised to do
honor to the captnin's compliment. Ac-

When he had finally consumed about
three-quarters of the repast, he paused
for another draft of wine and. placing
his knife and fork on his plate, said to
his superior officer, you had better
have the calf brought on, had you not,
for all these little ldckshaws will end
in taking up ROOM"

A SAILORS MAsCoTs.
miscellaneous Collection That lie
Takes From the shore.


Takes From the Shore.
Jack Tar is VIGOROUSLY improvident,
and most of our naval seamen when
they get ashore spend their money, be
it more or less, with IL lavish hand.
Shore leave is limited to twenty four
hours but in that brief time the unre-
strained sailor manages to run through
about all the cash he carries with him.
He plunges into n whirl of dissipation
and is oftentimes cheated or robbed of
good share of his ready assets, but a
percentage of the latter is also apt to
70 for anything that happens to strike
his almost childish fancy. Mascots are
the seafarcr's delight, and whatever
he may come across which seems to
him to have talismanic property he is
bound to buy it if he can; hence when
the pier Jumpers as those on shore
leave are technically called, return in
well filed barges to the ship and under
direction of the master ut arms climb
up TO the deck they are likely to bring
with them miscellaneous collection
of goats, dogs, parrots, monkeys, roost-
ers, etc. One sailor on the Kearsurge,
either in or out of his senses at the
time, went so far as to purchase as a
mascot n colored baby from Its mother
for the sum of 40 cents and came
aboard with 1t In his arms. He was
not allowed to retain it, however, and
the child was eventually restored to its
repentant and hysterical parent.
How many of the mascots may be
kept OH board lies within the discretion
of the captain. A liberal policy is pur-
sued in this matter. But manifestly
there is a limit to the number of those
that can be accommodated The sur.
plus is sent ashore without delay.
When the returned pier jumpers" are
lined up while the ships writer calls
the roll to discover the laggards, it is
one Of the most perplexing duties of
the officer of the deck to decide what
dumb creatures may or may not be
added to the vessels menagerie. If the
vessel is on her way homeward from
the tropics, she usually carries large
variety Of living presents for the home
friends Of the sailors. But these are
only temporary tenants of the hold and
would not be permitted to remain on
board long.-Leslie's Weekly.

Neirhhorlx Neglect

"Every one knows the dislike OF tho
country person to interfere with his
neighbors," says the London Globe.
"a good instance occurred in the mid
lands. Farmer jarvis, driving to mar
ket, saw through the open door of a
barn the body Of neighbor suspended
from n beam and drove on, revolving
the tragedy. When he reached the
market town. he impaired the news
with deliberate emphasis. Good heav-
ensp exclaimed the other. And did you
cut him downY No. said the farmer,
more slowly still; he wasn't dead
