The legality of threatening
postal cards being sent thruogh
the mails has been taken up by
the postal authorities in some
parts of the United States, and it
appears that there will he trouble
for some of the banks. 1t ap-
pears chat the notices of notes be-
ing due and of drafts being held
for collection, sent on postal
cards, has attracted attention in
some parts, and there have been
cases made against the bank
clerks. There is law which
states that no threats can be-
made on postal cards, nor can a
person be asked for money in this
way. There are some banks that
send out notices in this way, and
some that send little paper noti-
ces under cover, but the other way
is questionable.

WATER WE USE AND WASTE.

EDITORS MARIETTA JOURNAL Il would
ask the favor of space in your paper to
show a sample of the results obtained
in efforts to check water waste:
During the last fiscal year, at Los
Angeles, Cal, the number of meters
installed were doubled. there being
3,485 in use, as against ,726 at the same
time last year. On this subject the
commissioners say
g "As an example of the practical ef-
feet of the operation of the meter sys-
TEN in the business section of the city,
which is now nearly all metered, we
will take the case of three blocks bound
as follows, respectively: First, Main,
Second and Spring streets, and Third
Spring, Fourth and Broadway. The
aggregate assessed fiat rate on these
three blocks was 1897 75, while the me-
ter rate for the month of October was
1854, or difference of three and three
quarter pei cent. in favor of the con-
sumer. When the meters were first
put in, not alone on these blocks, but
on the blocks so FAR metered, the con-
sumption averaged more than double
what it does now; and it is quite GER
tain that in the twenty-one blocks me-
tered in the business section, Il saving
of not less than 100000 gallons day
has been effected by their use"
The report also gives the meter rate
and the assessed fiat rate for one year
on a block of high-class residences in
the southwestern part of the city, all of
which have extensive lawns and shrub
berry, and some of them over 100 feet OF
frontage, besides extensive stables and
outbuildings. This shows that OF
twenty-five such residences, all but
four experienced an increase of pay.
ment under the meter rate ranging
from ) per cent. to %? per cent. Com
menting on this, the water commission.
ers say: 'The wide variation in con-
sumption here proves the folly and ine-
quality of the fiat rates, which pur-
ported 10 represent the value of the
water required for each of those prem.

Atlanta, Ga, few years ago was
threatened with water famine and
could not find any additional source:
TO increase her supply. Economy was
the only means left. Every water ser.
vice was metered and to-day the same
water supply is ample.

Rings Of runrou, Grovtn.

Before people studied nature to learn
the truth and when they delighted in
all sorts Of fancies 1t was claimed that
rings of fungous growths were caused
by the dancing of fairies, by thur
derbolt entering the ground or by the
work of moles. Various other equally
absurd explanations have been given.
Now we know that the first fungous
plant growing from spore takes from
the soil under and near 1t all or most
Of the special food that the plant re-
quires. Only the spores from this plant
that fall just outside the exhausted soil
will find good fungous food, and so the
circle Of successive growths widens
because only the spores outside Of the
ring can find food.-St. Nicholas.

NATURAL MEASURES.
eo..::E PERSONAL SUBSTITUTES FOR
THE FOOT RULE.

Accurately Compile Your own Table.
Mcmorizc 1t and Then Observe
How Frequently 1t Will Prove of
Valuable Service to You.
When the dressmaker wishes to es-
innate the number of yards in the
piece of cloth furnished she will, four
times out of five, measure 1t swiftly
between her chin and her outstretchca
hand. or il 1t is a matter of inches,
she will fold the Blended upper joint
of her thumb along the cloth.
She calls the one measure IL yard
and the other an inch, and the estimate
il, usually close enough to serve her
purpose, although there are inches of
difference in the length of arms. and
slight turn of the head will cause still
greater error.
Since these methods have proved
themselves so useful in spite of their
inaccuracy, it is easy to see how Nalu-
able some similar measures which
can be depended on would become.
The Individual must necessarily be
the first consideration. 1t is hardly
within the bounds of possibility TO find
two persons identical in those dimen-
sions of which use can be made. Thus
each must establish his own table of
measures
The forearm-from point of elbow
to tip of middle iinger-is one of the
most practicable of the natural meas
ures This is the cubit of Scripture.
Set the point of the bent elbow in the
corner of the wall. Holding it firmly
there, straighten the forearm and fin
gers. mark the point reached by the
middle digit and measure carefully the
distance to the wall. A man is likely
to find this measure about twenty
| inches, woman about sixteen.
For making quick measurement of
the side Of Il room, the length of a
wood pile, and 80 forth, this idea has
some very useful qualities.
Take the foot rule now and spread,
or rather span, the hand to its utmost
upon it. There Is sure to be Il differ
ence between the right and left, so
use always the same hand, or have a
separate measure for each.
If extended rigidly to its UTMOST each
time the inches "spanned" will be q
practically fixed quantity. Note the
measurement carefully, as before. II
is most likely to be for an adult from
seven and one half to nine inches
This is an Even more convenient
measure than that of the forearm, since
it can be conveniently applied either
horizontally or vertically and at an.
point where the hand can reach.
The "hand" of four inches used il
the measurement of horses is of cours,
derived from the breadth of the palm
But this has become SO firmly fixed il
its one use that it may as well be omit
ted here. The measure of thumb ant
palm Is, however, worth consideration
The measurement from the opposit,
edge of the palm to the end of the eN
tended thumb is very nearly six inche;
and is therefore convenient unit.
These measures need, of course, to b,
supplemented by shorter one, ant
here is the opportunity Of our oil
friend the thumb joint. Bend TIL
