AContinual Strain.

Many men and women are constantly sub
iected to what they commonly term " Il con.
tinual strain because of some financial or
family trouble 1t wears and distresscs them
both mentally and physically, affecting their
nerves badly and bringing on liver and
kidney silments, with the attending evils of
constipation, loss Of appetite, sleeplefsness
low vitality and dependency, They cannot
as a rule, get rid of this continual strain, I"
but they can remedy its health destroying
effects by taking frequent doses of Green's
August Flower. 1t tones up the liver, slim
ulates the kidneys, insures healthy bodily
functions, gives vim and spirit to ones whole
being, and eventually dispels the physical or
mental distress caused by that continual
strain" Trial bottle of August Flower, 25c;

Uncle Sam is busy rounding up the odd
pennies. HIS post Office representatives
have Just discovered leak through which
in the course of the last fifty years,a great
many hundred thousand dollars have run
away. The loss might figure up into the
millions since the invention of stamped en-
velopcs by the fractional profits which the
stamp clerks in $4,000 postofaces have re
tanned for their own use.
Third Assistant Postmaster General Mad,
den, who lnyen,ed the stamp book, stirred
the department from Maine TO California by
his recent order instructng stamp clerks to
hereafter account for the fractional amounts
received when stamped envelopes and wrap
pers are sold IN uneven quantities. Before
the order came out the clerk accounted only
for the face value of the stamped paper in
his possession and the odd pennies which he
picked up from uneven sales he retained for
his own use.
When you buy single cent wrapper or
a single cent stamped envelope the clerk
charges you or cents, as the case may be
The wrapper costs HIM possibly 17-100 of a
cent and the envelope about 9 IL 100 of a
cent, so that his profit in the first case IS 03
100 of a cent and in the second $500 o! a
cent OF course, the profits ale not proper
tionate in larger sales, and all the clerk gains
on each sale is the difference between the
fractional amount.
Some one with a turn for calculations fig.
ures that in Chicago alone the profits from
fractional sales is about $1,000 month, and
that On this basis the government ought to
get about $4,000 year additional income
from the whole country, or enough money
to pay the salary of the President.
While the order bears heavily on the reg
ular stamp clerks who lose their time honor.
ed perquisites they have to submit because
the stamped paper is not theirs and belongs
to the government from the time it is receiv-
ed until the time il is sold. But the men
who keep substations are in different cate.
CORY, ard they are in i'll humor over the re-
cent decision made on request from the
New York postmaster that even substation
clerks who buy their supplies outright must
turn in the fractional profits at the end of
each quarter

Washington Letter.
(FRoM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE
Washington, May 81, 1905.

Washington, May 81, 1905.
In the estimation of many observ-
ers of public affairs there has not been
so interesting a political situation as
that which exists at the present time
since the close of the Civil War. Two
issues of the greatest moment will con-
front the Fifty-ninth Congress when it
begins its extraordinary session next
October and the discussion of these
subjects, which will 60 in communities
from now until and after Congress
meets, will have the most important
bearing on both issues.
Each of these issues has been out
lined by the President. The first is,
briefly, "Ought the people, through
their authorized representatives to as
sert their rights over the railways Of
the countries, which President Roose-
yelt has declared to be the only import.
ant highways of the nation? The ar
gument of President Roosevelt is thai
the time has come when the people
must assert their title or it is liable to
become extinct, and to this end he has
asked Congress to delegate to the Inter.
state Commerce Commission the power
to fix q maximum rate wherever the
Commission, after due investigation,
shall find that railroad is overcharging
the people, such rate as is fixed by the
Commission to be subject to revision by
the courts.
The second Of these issues is, "Shall
the Government raise funds to meet its
constantly increasing expenses by in
creasing the direct taxes on the people,
as, for instance, by placing tax on tea,
coffee, ETC., or shall it increase Its reve-
nues by shaving a little off the tariff
schedules so that little more merchan-
disc, on which duty must be paid, will
be imported" The President believes
the latter to be the proper course and
has said that moderate reduction oil
the the tariff is imperative If all Amer
leans are to enjoy the blessings of the
square deal.
Incilentlv, the President remarks
that he is confident that the Amerl-
can people will appreciate that it is the
trusts which are rerpetrating the out
rage on American wor klngmen by
charging the domestic consumer from
twice to thrice what the product of
their labor is worth. while selling it at
a reasonable price to foreigners
Of course the President can accomp-
lish nothing in the direction of either
reform if be has not the people behind
him. II they stand by him on both is
sues there is nothing within reason
which he may not, accomplish. So
that, after all, it comes right back to
the people themselves and they must
decide what the course Of Congress
shall be.

When former President Grover
Cleveland. writing about the attrac.
ton Of his summer home In Sandwich,
N. H., referred to the people native
to the locality as fair in deal, accom-.
modatlng, and. above all, have the
sense to understand that people who
come there for rest and quiet and
their own recreation do not need off,
clous volunteering Of attention or un.
wonted interference" he very aptly
described some Of the most striking
characteristics Of the little Quaker
community in the mountains where he
Is preparing to spend another summer.
The house in which Mr.. Cleveland
lives was built by a Quaker over 100
years ago, and has been in possession
Of the family ever since. 1t has come
down through several generations
from Sllas Frye to his great.grand.
daughter. Mrs. Amy l.. Boyden Of Bev.
erly, Mass, and one Of the most mod.
est Of the farmhouses In Sandwich, its
present owners refuse to make add.
tions. even at the request Of former
president OF the United States. They
fear the old home might lose some OF
the individuality which the original
owner and builder gave It. Changes
have been made, many Of them in the
interior. and much of the furniture is
modern, but the old house Is in the
main much the same as It wa when
occupied by generation after genera.
ton of the descendants of Silas Frye,
The rooms are large and cheerful,
and the lower part of the house very
much given over to Rreplaces and
ovens. A huge brick affair extends
from the dining room in the rear al.
most to the front door, and tapers on
to the chimney, which projects above
the roof, and on which the original
Sllas Frye carved his initials and
80 NJ. 1899" which, interpreted by his
descendants, means that the chimney
was built during the ninth month of
the year 1799
