POSTAGE STAMPS.

The Wasted Ones Net Uncle Sam
Over q Million q Year.
An experienced clerk in a branch
post office uptown says that Uncle Sam
Is in pocket every year more than
$1,000,OO0 by purchase 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 pocketbook, finding them again
months later looking like anything but
postage stamps? OF course nobody
ever thinks of sending such stamps in
for redemption. Suppose the waste l
am speaking of averaged 20 cents
annually for each business man. The
total would be enormous.
"Hot weather was a great revenue
maker for the government before the
little oiled books came in: but many
persons lose their books, and the aver
age Is about the same. Some persons
actually come back to the stamp win

be traced, like bank books. Another
way in which Uncle Sam gains is
through tradesmen sending out letters.
inclosing 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 per
sons 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 two-cent
stamps on a letter that would have
gone for 2 cents. 1t is amazing how
little information usually well in
formed persons have about different
classes of mail matter. The pay for

Virginia is state which abounds
with springs which have medicinal
properties. 1t is also a state in which
nearly every foot of ground has histor
ic associations, and this fact, together
with it's glorious landscapes. makes it
an unusually interesting state to visit.
There are thousands of resorts each Of
which has it's own special attractions,
but none has attracted more visitors
than the resorts in the vicinity of the
Great Natural Bridge, which is one of
the natural wonders of the United
States.
This marvellous structure OverlOoks

western slope of the Blue mountains.
1t is Just about the center of the state.
1t approaches Niagara in grandeur and
exceeds it In height and awful mystery.
1t is a single block of limestone. with
many shades of color. The walls are
smooth, as If cut with chisels. and there

The analogy between comets and wO-

following peroration from an evening
contemporary: Comets doubtless an
swer some wise and good purpose in
the creation; so do women. Comets
are incomprehensible. beautiful and &C.
centric; SO are women. Comets shine
with peculiar splendor, but at night are
most brilliant; SO are women. Comets
are enveloped with lucid nebula
through which their forms are visible;
no are those of women in their light
and elegant attire. Comets confound
the most learned when they attempt

Comets equally excite the admiration
Of the philosopher and of the clod of

A story is told of an attempt made by
a Swedish missionary to obtain a foot
hold in Abyssinia. No sooner had he
begun to preach than he was brought
before King Menelek, who asked him
why he had left his home In Scandi-
navia in order to come to Abyssinta.
The missionary promptly replied that
he had come to convert the Abyssinian
Jews Are there no Jews in your
country p asked Menelek. The mis-
sionary admitted that there were
few. "And in all the countries that
you have passed through did you find
NO Jews or heathens?" the king con-
tanued. "Jews and heathens," the mis-
sionary admitted, ''are plentiful"
'~Then," said Menelek, carry this man
beyond the frontier and let him not
return until he has converted all the
Jews and heather which lie between
his country and mine"

GETTING TO SLEEP.
some Points About the Art Of WO

some Points About the Art of Woo
ing Peaceful Slamber.
All conditions must be favorable to
sleep. The bedroom should be quiet,
dark and airy. In winter 1t is better to
have the window away up than to shut
1t 80 that a knife edged draft shall chill
an exposed shoulder. The temperature
of the bed should be agreeable. Getting
to sleep when the feet are cold Is as
slow a job as getting to sleep when
hungry. A hot water bottle in one case
and piece of bread and butter in the
other will help things. leave 1T to you
to decide which is for which. warm
bed in winter Is easily got, but cool
bed in summer is not so simple prOpo-
sition. However, sheet made of straw
mating interposed between the regular
sheet and the mattress will be found to
mitigate sensibly the horrors of hot
night. 1t preserves the softness and
springiness OF the bed and yet is pleas
sonally l find that sleep comes soonest
when 1 have no pillows at all.
The next thing Is to relax utterly.
Remember that the corner of the jaw is
the citadel of tension. While that is
clinched no sleep can come. But most
important Of all is the disposition of the
mind so that sleep can come. The rea-
son why we fail in this Is the same as
the reason why we fail in other things.
We do not very genuinely want to sue
coed. AS we lie stretched out after a
busy day, there are so many thoughts
that we want to chase after that we
drop the notion Of sleep, though we
know that tomorrow IN another day on
which we can think. 1t IL all very well
to say Dismiss these thoughts" How
to dismiss them is the problem that
each must solve.-Harvey Sutherland
in Everybody's Magazine.

Newburg priory claims the distinc-
ton of sheltering the remains of Oliver
Cromwell. After the protectors death
on his lucky day, Sept. 3. his body was
embalmed and. after lying in state for
some time. was inferred with regal
pomp in Westminster abbey. After
the restoration his body. along with
those Of Ireton and Bradshaw, was ex-
humed and hanged on the gibbet at
Tyburn. The heads. so the story goes,
were struck off and placed on the top
Of Westminster hall, while the bodies
were buried beneath the gallows. On
the other hand, it is said that another
body was substituted for that of Crom-
well and that the protector was buried
secretly on the Hambledon hills. At
all events, at the top Of Newburg pri-
DRY there is narrow room, one end of
which is occupied by mass Of stone
work built into the wall. Here. it is
said, the remains of Oliver Cromwell
