Humor. of a Chinese Postofnce.

Mrs. H. T. Ford of the China Inland
Mission at Tai-kang. in the central
province of Honan. in a letter to her
family, has some amusing things to
tell about the establishment of the Chi
nese Imperial Post in the province,
which is some weeks journey from tbs
coast. says the London News. She
says:
I'VE have got the Chinese Imperial
Post here now. At Kai-feng, when
they first got it, the postohice clerks
had a fight with some men who bought
stamps and wanted the clerks to lick
them and put them on the letters for
them. They said the clerks were there
to lick the stamps, and paid for the
business, and they wouldn't lick them.
But the clerks wouldn't agree to lick
them, so they came to blows and the
police had to come in and separate
them.
Here at Tai-kang, the man who has
got the postofflce has begun well. Har-
ry was in his shop when the first Gus
toner came for a stamp. 1t took him
nearly five minutes to find the key and
get the stamp box open, and when he
gave it to the man he said in very
decided way: Now lick it and put 1t
just there The customer was foolish
Cor wise) enough to do 80 and now a
custom has been established in Tai
kang that all purchasers of stamps
must lick them and stick them on.
There was great row at the Kai-feng
postoffice one day because an address
on a letter could not be found and the
letter was brought back.
1.-THE sender wanted his money back
because the letter had not been deliv-
cred. but the clerk refused to give 1t
to him. contending that they had had
more trouble over it than if it had been
delivered. Another man was deter
mined to get the postoffice clerks into
trouble because he had sent letter
some time ago and received no answer.
This was clear proof he said, that the
letter had never been sent. The serV-
ice here is somewhat irregular yet"

of years the first bale of new Georgia
cotton has been sent to market by
Deal Jackson, a negro farmer of

always worth to him as much as two
bales marketed later. Jackson has the

good and desirable citizen, and to hold

being true, he is a better example to
hold up to his race than any agitator
or negro politician possibly could be.
To men like him there is no such

were loaded with letters TO him from
women who announced their oandi-
dacy for his favor. Some two or three
years ago two notorious criminals Of
the name of Biddle were assisted in
breaking out of a Pennsylvania jail
by the wife of the Jail warden, who
was in love with one Of them. The
woman accompanied the Biddles in
their flight, until they were shot to
death by their pursuers. Her husband
divorced her and she was sentenced to
prison. But the mails carried to the
prison numerous letters addressed to
her from men offering to marry her
as soon as her sentence was completed.

APPROPRIATION TO FIGHT BOIL
WEEVIL.

Washington, Jan. s.-The house today
made available the sum of s25O.OOO to
be used to meet the emergency caused
By the ravages of the cotton boil weevil
aud other insects affecting cotton. The
measure was adopted without division.
The sum is to be diverted from the half
rniIion dollars appropriated last year
10 eradicate the foot and mouth cis-
case among cattle.
The chaplain of the house today at
the opening Of the session prayed for
comfort for the grief-stricken family
of ex-Presidenr Cleveland
The bill amending the act apprOpri-
ating money for the eradication of the
foot and mouth disease among cattle
so as to make available the amount
Of $3.50, 600 to meet the emergency
caused by the Mexican boil Weevil was
taken up for consideration.
Mr.. Burleson (Tex.) urged the impor-
lance of the passage of the bill to the
cotton growing sections. giving the
history of the boil weeYil and what It
has done.
Mr.. Gillette (Adass.) called attention
to another insect,o the gypsy moth,
WEIGH Aad Deen brought 20 new Eng
land, and which, he said, was equally
dangerous and should receive attention
with a view to its determination. He
offered an amendment for an addition
al appropriation of $3.50, geo for the Grad
iCation OF the gypsy moth.
Mr.. WadsWorth made the point Of or
Ger that this was not germane, as It
was a new appropriation"
The speaker sustained the point Of
order against the amendment, and the
bill vas passed without division. It
provides that the sum made available
may be expended by the secretary of
agriculture in such manner as he shall
deem best in cooperation with state
experiment stations and practical cot
ton growers, if the secretary of agTi-
culture shall deem it advisable to meet
the emergency caused by the ravages
Of the cotton boil weevil and other
/ insects affecting cotton.
The house then went into committee

Mr.. Teller said that the only sug-
geetion Of a political PURPOSE of an
Investigation had come from the Re
publican side. it seemed to him the
public interest alone should be con-
sidered- So far as there had been an
stigation, it had come only as the
result Of influence outside the pOstof-
nee department and the public never
would be satisfied until there should
be an inquiry by persons not likely
TO be smirched by it. As for the quail
iiications Of the senate to make an
investigation, senators should not sill
ia their seats unless capable of CON
Quoting such an inquiry, and the peO-
pie generally should demand that it be
undertaken.
