Dead Letter Office.

While the number of undelivered let
ters which found their way into the
dead letter office during the year was
smaller than during the previous year,
the number of undelivered letters with
valuable enclosures greatly increased.
General prosperity of the country is
given as one reason; another is the
suppression by the department of con-
Germs using the mails for fraudulent
purposes. Mail for such concerns con-
tanning money, money orders and COM
mercial paper was received at the dead
letter office in unusual quantities.
Nearly 100000 pieces of mail were
received at the dead letter Office dur
ing the year, including 1868 that failed
of delivery in the Panama canal zone.
"Over 1.000.0 900 cases Of alleged in
decent and scurrilous matter received
attention. In the summer the influx
of offensive pictorial post cards became
so great as to call for a special order
by the department liking to the abate-
ment of the nuisance. AS a result Of
this order many thousands of objec-
tionable cards have been withdrawn
from the mails by postmasters and for
warded to the department for destruc-
ton"

HOW TO READ.
There Are No Set Rules, Eeach Man
Having His Standard.
New Orleans Times-Democrat.

New Orleans l1meS-DemOcTat.
"Men have curiously different no
tfons on the subject of reading, and al
most all the literary men have had
something to say on the subject"
said an observant man. Emerson
laid down three rules. He said: First,
do not read a book THAT is not year
old; second, never read any books
that are famed, and third, never read
anv book but what you like. But
it is not likely that many persons
can follow these rules. In the first
place, it is quite impossible to OBJ
serve anything like an arbitrary rule
in the matter of reading. There is no
reason why a book should be year
old before we venture Through its
pages. If the book is good it is just
as good in fresh print as it will be
at any other time. Besides, books are
printed so rapidly now that II we are
to wait year before reading a book
after it comes out, we should be soon
verv much behind the times. We
could not talk to Our friends about
contemporary literature, and would be
classed as a back number. Emerson's
Second ru1e IS worse than the first
All books do not become famous.
It is much easier for bad book to
blaze out and win popular attention.
Besides, how shall we know whether
a book is good or bad without read
ing it? The same point may be- made
as to the third rule. How shall we
know whether we like book or mot
without reading it? True enough,
some men like Carlyle. can skim a
book and get fairly good idea OF It,
but this is not satisfactory way OF
measuring books value. I have but
little confidence in the literary judg-
ment Of thje SKINNER. The fact is, at
ter all, that every man must read
according to his own notion. My
friend may like one book, like an
other. He may have one standard
of literary excellence, I may have an
other, and so on. Rules for read
inc cannot be arbitrarily fixed. HUI
man nature is too tickle; and there is
too much difference between the tenn
oeraments of men to admit OF any
such thing.

Cured of Pea Soup.

The following was frequently told
by Captain Martin Burns, of Bangor,
Me-, as one on him:
The captain was very fond of split
pea soup, and before leaving port he
always put in a good sized stock of
split peas. On this occasion, however,
his negro steward got whole peas,
and so the soup that the captain call
ed for on the first day was thrown
away.
The next day pea soup was again
served, and this time the caprain, af-
ter having eaten hearty meal, Said
to his steward: Steward, that's the
kind of soup I like; we'll have some
more just like it tomorrow"
"Fo de Lawd's sake, cap'n," ex-
claimed the steward, "ma jaws am SO
tired chewing dem whole peas dat
All just can't chew no mo-

soup again.

Something can be done in this direc-
ton through exciting a spirit of emu

flowers, are both an object lesson and
inspiration to others In the neighbor-
hood to do likewise. II half dozen
people in one neighborhood set ear
