SECOND HAND MAIL BOXES.
Why a Little Village May Have Big
Numbers in Its Post Office.

The man who was spending his
sumner vacation in the country was
lookicg quizzically at the mail boxes
in tRe rural post office.
II did not know this was such
large place." he said. 'T thought It
had population of only about 1000,
but the mail box numbers run much
higher than that, and ! don't suppose
every one in town rents a box either"
The postmaster peered out Of his
little barred window
u can explain that" he said. you
see the country post Offices never
get new boxes, but we have those
left over when the city establishments
make over their offices and get new
boxes. So you see lots of country
places are bound to have high num-
Der boxes.
Although our numbers run over
1000. you won't find any less than
1000. some other country post office
drew the lower ones. | myself would
rather get the big numbers. for it
makes us seem like a bustling little
city"

The Ace of cad

we are wont to speak of this era
as the ''age of iron," and there is no
,gainsaying that. industrially speaking,
iron is a precious metal"
Nevertheless, few people realize
how useful, II not absolutely neces-
sary. to modern civilization, is that
other metal. lead Soft, yielding,
pliable, 1t is not much like Its sister
metal, but those distinguishing quail
ties are what give 1t such prominent
place in the arts and industries.
Modern plumbing, requiring many
stnrnings and twistings. but withal
tight joints, would be almost impos-
sible without lead pipe. The great
est clvilizing agent in the world-the
printing art-is absolutely dependent
on lead. Hand-set type, linotype
"slugs," monotype type all are
made of compositions of which lead
is the chief component-to say moth
ing of the bearings in the presses as
well as all other kinds of machinery
in which "babbitt" metal is used.
Solder is another lead product
what field of usefulness that one
form opens up.
Then there is the most important
use of all to which lead is put-paint,
that necessary material which keeps
our houses looking pretty = inside
and out-and preserves them from
decay.
How many Of us thank metallic lead
for the comforts of paint? Yet the
best house paint is nothing but me-

powder known as white lead" OF
course, there are many limitations of
white lead" some of which are sold
as white lead and some which are
offered by the name of ready-pre-
pared paint under the familiar. pre-
tense that they are Just as good as
white lead But all good paint is
made of the metal, lead. corroded and
ground to a fine white powder and
mixed with linseed oil.
White lead is also used In the coat
ing of fine oil cloths and for many
purposes besides paint.
RED Lead is another product of
metallic lead and is what is known as
an oxide of lead. being produced by
burning the metal. Red lead is the
best paint known to preserve iron,
steel or tin, and is used largely in
painting metal structures. such as
skyscraper skeletons. mills and
bridges.
There are many other products of
the metal lead, such as litharge.
orange mineral, etc. which are es-
sential to many of the arts in which
we never imagine that lead would be
of the least use.
Verify, we live in an age of lead
as well as of iron.

Lincoln as a Lawyer.


A leader of the Lincoln party told
the other day in Philadelphia a story
of the astuteness of Lincoln as a
lawyer.
When Lincoln was practising law"
he said, ''he had case involving a
disputed will. The opposition claimed
the Will was genuine and for several
hours adduced proof Of this. For
Lincoln. who had to prove the will a
forgery, things looked black
Lincoln. however. only called one
witness, retired paper manufactur.

his wealth and probity.
Mr. Dash Lincoln said to this
witness. handing him the disputed
will. please hold that paper up to
the light and tell us what is the water
mark on It,
The water mark of my own firm
Blank & Co.. the witness answered.
When did your firm begin to
manufacture paper?
"In 1S41.'
"'And what's the date of the docu
ment in your 1ands?
August IL. 1896
THAT is enough. Gentlemen OF
the jury our case is closed.'"

Sunshine and Sugar Growing.

The effect of sunshine ON sugar
growing is said by the New Orleans
Picayune to make the Grip more pro-
equally as successful with beet sugar
growing as her established cane sugar
industry, notwithstanding an arid cli
mate On the other hand, the storms
and fogs that envelop the British is
lands are said to have prevented the
development of the beet sugar indus

of sunshine are about 1,400, while
Spain has 5000.

His scheme Worked.

1t is related that certain man was
recently very sad because his wife
had gone out of town on a visit,
which she would not shorten In spite
of his appeals to her to come home.
He finally hit upon plan to induce
her to return. He sent her copy of
each of the local papers with one item
clipped out. and when she wrote to
find out what 1t was he had clipped
out he refused to tell her.
The scheme worked admirably, In
less than a week she was home to
find out what It was that had been
going on that her husband didn't want
her to know about.-Pittsburg Press.

PARTITION OF A VESSEL.

How Admiralty Deals With It-The
 Matter Treated in the Yale Law
 Journal by James D. Deweil, jr'
 In the Yale Law Journal, which is just but, there is a notable article by James D. DeWell, jr., the well known Admiralty lawyer of this city and a member of the firm of Cushman, Dew ell and Cushman, New York. The art icle deals with the partition of a vessel in Admiralty MT. Dewell points out that the idea that you can ask for the division of a vessel no matter what part you own no doubt prevails because this is the rule that applies to chattels and real estate, and to vessels if the State court gives the right to such ac- tion. But Admiralty will not take juris- diction for the partition and lioitation of vessel unless there are equal part owners who cannot agree. The cases upon this question are very few, and the reason is obvious, for it Is seldom that you get case where there are equal part owners.
 MT. Dewell further and thoroughly re- views the difficult questions involved in this matter, and cites the cases bear ing on it. He makes 1t very clear, and his article is a valuable contribution to the knowledge of a subject which is not | well understood.
