WHEN STAMPS WE'RE NEW.
eroubIe In Getting People TO stick
Them on the Envelope.

"When postage stamps first came In
to use" said veteran postal clerk,
'the public didn't know how TO handle
them. You remember how, when tea
and coffee first appeared among us, the
people fried the tea leaves and the cof-
fee berries and served them with salt
and pepper? Well, the people treated
their stamps MS absurdly in 1854.
"Some folks would put the stamps in
side their letters, out of sight. Here
is the official notice that we issued to
stop that practice"
The clerk took from the drawer an
aged bulletin that said:
"rhe stamps upon all letters and
packages must be affixed on the out
side thereof and above the address
thereon"
He put back this bulletin and drew
forth another one.
People would pin the stamps on
their letters instead of cumming them"
he said, land when they did gum them
they would not do It right; hence this
second bulletin" and he read:
"'Persons posting letters should af-
fix the requisite number of stamps pre-
vious to depositlng them in the letter
receivers, as when posted IN n damp
state the stamps are liable to rub Off
and thereby cause the letters to be
treated as unpaid. Do not pin on the
stamps
"Still," said the clerk, "the public
didn't understand. Think of tit
didn't understand the simple matter Of
sticking a postage stamp on letter.
So we got out third bulletin"
The third bulletin, In big. impatient
letters, said:
"The simplest and most effectual
method of causing stamps to adhere
firmly is first to molsten well the out
side of the stamps and afterward the
gummed side slightly, taking care not
to remove the gum"
The clerk said that phllatelst had
offered him S12 apiece for these three
queer bulletlns.-Galveston Tribune.

NAPOLEON'S METHODS.
the way the Grcnt military Genius
Planned His Battles.

In his work on Napoleon" Colonel
Dodge has an interesting passage on
Bonaparte's planning out of his bat
ties. II runs:
spreading out and bending. some
times ng. over his maps, with a
compass In his hand, which correspond
ed TO about seven or eight hours march
as the crow fiess being nine or ten
nctual hours march, marking the posi-
ton Of his corps and divisions with
various colored pins, as well as the
supposed locations OF the enemy, he or
dered the movements OF his army with
an accuracy of which one can scarcely
have an idea. Moving his compass
across the map, he Judged immediate
ly, according to the topography, roads
and season, how many marches any
corps required to reach on n given day
n certain place where he needed 1t and
the rate of speed demanded, and with
this knowledge and his judgment was
absolute of what troops could do) he
dictated the instructions the execution
of which made him so famous. Ma
poleon avoided such general orders as
would inform the enemy of his whole
sale plan should they reach him and
confined himself when possible to such
orders as would apply only to the move
ments of certain corps. Even in his
own army he did not permit the general
plan to be known, lest II should leak
out. Each corps commander was given
o., Ia
told what was essential about the
neighborlng corps. Just because Ma
poleon was thus particular were his or
ders such models of precision and clear
ness"

cleaning the blood. At the same time
you are giving that little FLIP to the
action of the heart and the nervous
system which you thought you were
giving when you took the cocktail. In
the latter case you didn't clean the ma
chine. You simply ran II little faster
and gummed 1t up little more. You
can get the same results, the same
feeling of exhilaratiOn and Of accom-

will steadily improve in Its running

voluntarily. In hurried business life
they become too involuntary. In
that case don't take cocktail; Just

THE WORD BOGUS.
There Are Several Plausible The

The word bogus" is said by DIR. Ogil-
vie to be derived from Boghese, the
name of notorious American swindlcr
who about the year 1885 flooded the
western and southwestern states with
counterfeit bills sham mortgages and
such like. Others connect the word
with "bogle," scarecrow or goblin,
and so applied to anything fictitious or
chimerlcal.
Lowell in the "Blglow Papers" says.

Old Time Remedies.

Strange as it may seem to some, the
ingredients of the witches caldron in
Macbeth" at least a part of them,
were once standard remedies among
Europeans. In the tenth and eleventh
centuries sovereign cure for ague
was the swallowing Of a small toad
that had been chicken to death on ST.
Johns eve, and splendid remedy for
rheumatism was to fasten the bands
Of clothing with pins that had been
stuck into the flesh of either toad or
a frog. Physicians frequently recon-
mended the water from a toad's brain
for mental affections and that a live
toad be rubbed over the diseased parts
as cure for the quinsy.

LIVING SILVER.
The Process by which Mercury Is
Extracted From Cinnnbnr.

The chief scource OF mercury is its
native sulphide, cinnabar. The most
important mines of this mineral I'm Eu-

and Idrla, In Illyrla; in America, those
of New Almaden, in California.
The silvery metal is obtained by
roasting the ores in specially construct
ed open furnaces. where, by the ac-
tion of atmospheric air alone, the sui
phur is converted into sulphurous acid
and passes on with the volatilizel
mercury into condensers. These are
usually masonry chambers, with wa
ter cooled pipes, from which the fumes
pass on through earthenware pipes
and finally through others of wood
and glass.
Most OF the yield is liquid mercury
combined with SCOT, which is removed
by agitating the mixture in receptacles
Of perforated iron. when the mercury
falls through. The quicksilver is final

Heroism In Animals.

Animals are capable of what we
should call heroism in man. In one
field was donkey, in another horse.
Through the first went a mastinf and
made for the ass, seized him by the
throat, pulled him down. and that SO
suddenly that the donkey looked like
ly to be killed. The horse In the next
field leaped the hedge dividing the
two pastures, collared the dog with
his teeth, swung him and like base

with his heels. The mastiff was whisk-
ed over the hedge which the horse
had just crossed, and the donkey was
left in peace to recover from his
wounds.

Midsummer day, or ST. John the Bap-

in east Prussia. On this day they each
make n wreath, and each I'm turn tries
to throw her wreath so as to lodge 1t
on fruit tree. A girl must keep on
throwing until her wreath stays In the
branches, and the number of attempts
Is supposed to indicate the number OF
years she will have to wait to get mar
rled. When the girls are thus engaged
the young men of the village stand
around chatting them when they miss.
The girl who lands her wreath Mt the
first attempt is vehemently applauded.

by these delays but 1t was noticed that
one man in the works always drew full
