THE DEAD LETTER SALE.
Not a Sale of Letters But of the Mer. ,v chandise They Often Contain
 Am Explanation.

Referring to the article protesting department in disposing of unredeemed articles of merchandise, etc., accumu- lated in the dead letter office, permit me to say, says a Washington Star writer, by way of correcting what seems to be wrong impression, that. so far as letters are concerned, they are never put up for sale. only the merchandise they change to contain. All letters received at the dead letter which they are. They are at once re- turned to the writer or forwarded to the addresses, when either can be done. Otherwise they arS destroyed. Parcels or articles of merchandise are held some years, after a diligent effort made to restore them to a rightful own CT has failed, after which such merchan- disc as is salable and fit therefor is pre- pared for the annual sale, the original wrapper and all identity of the former owner having been removed. Hence it cannot make a particle of difference to the former owner of such parcel whether it was sold or destroyed, and but little remains to satisfy the morbid curiosity" of the buyer, beyond the interest natur- ally felt in speculative way. Then, if the eager buyer profts by the deal, which Is the general rule, and S3,000 or $4 ,000 go to the government as partial reim
 bursement for the expenses of this serv- ice for the public, why not? Who is there who would not prefer to have his or her stray goods sold to the inter- est of both the public and the govern
 ment to their being burned, and which Is the most "scandalSus?"

SECRETLY WATCHED THE RATS. rat to drop into box, when the tin drops back into place, securing the prisoner.
 MT. Barden presently saw second rat approach the trap and climb up near the entrance. Then the two rats began to work together. The impris- oned rat dragged the piece of cheese so that 1t was immediately under the tilting piece of tin. The rat on the outside had evidently been informed how the trap worked, for it braced itself with it's hind legs so that it would not slip, and then, tilting the tin, the two rats worked the piece of cheese so that it wedged between the tilted platform and the side of the cage. This held the trap open so that the imprisoned rat could get out
 On several other occasions MT. Bar den watched and saw the performance repeated, the procedure being the same in every instance.

Cruel Punishment.

A man who was caught in the act of committing burglary at Paterson, N. J., was ducked several times in clean water and then told to leave town. It is re- ported that the friction he created in the air as he left almost set, his clothes on fire.

Height of Children.

It is an interesting fact that, al- though the children of tall parents tend to be tall, the offspring of parents of unequal height most frequently fol- low the shorter; while excessive tall- ness is rarely perpetuated.

Guardians, Not Matrimonial Agents.
 Men in humble circumstances, in search of wives, not infrequently take them from the workhouse. Not long since a clergyman wrote to the Shepton Mallet Guardians intimating that a cer tain laborer, with two nice boys,' re- uuired wife, and would be quite will Ing that one suitable to himself and bis sons" should be sent him from the workhouse. The guardians. however decided that they were not matrimonial agents, and the suggestion was made that the would-be bridegroom should attend personally to selct bride.

RODENT BREAKS JAIL.
Entrapped Rat, Aided by Another, Ez. capes from Trap Prison, in an
 Ingenious Way.

H. E. Barden, printer of Toledo. O., tells an interesting story of rat intelli- gence. His pressroom is infested with rodents, and recently he soughtto clean the place of them by means of trap.
 Occasionally he found a rat in it, but If he failed to take it out and dispatch 1t at once it invariably escaped. He determined to learn how the trick was done. Waiting until he had seen rat securely in the trap he secretly watched 1t. .-..
 The trap is wire affair, where the rat is led along until<,it reaches a fiat piece of tin which tilts, allowing the

 The stores in Brawley are close'i all day Sundays. and to those who have been accustomed to doing their trading Sunday mornings Il seems rather incon- vemient, and several were much pat out last Sunday; but no doubt they will get used to 1t.
