UNCLE SANS LITTLE GRAFT
Postal Department Has a Big Profit
from Lost and Unused
Stamps.

"Have you ever stopped to think
that Uncle Sans postal depart
ment makes about 100000 a
year out of postage stamps that
are lost or never used?" asked Il
prominent official of the Washing
ton post office of a reporter for the
Pittsburg Gazette. Il dare say
that there are enough postage
stamps wasted in Pittsburg to pay
six per cent. on $5,000,00O for Il
new post Office.
"Just think of the number of
stamps that r put into pockets
and later unearthed in small bits;
the stamps that become gummed
together or are lost outright; the
number of stamped envelopes and
return postal cards that are sent
out by business men and never
used; the stamps that are stuck
on carelessly and fall off in tran
sit, but which the po' tman col
'ects again from the receiver; the
stamps that are put on packages
in greater quantities than re-
quired.

An Irish Superstition.

In the rural parts of Ireland il
is considered unlucky to meet q
red-haired woman on going out in
the morning, especially a Monday
morning, for then the whole of the
coming week is involved in the liz

newly appointed village postman
who, on starting forth TO deliver
his first batch of letters, had the
misfortune to encounter a woman
with red hair. He promptly went
home with his bag and there was
no postal delivery in the township

Fowls Spread Disease.

At the meeting of the district

a case of , pit eria at a cottage

the cause of he outbreak, two
cases having occurred in the same
cottage six months ago, he found
that % fowls we're kept in a very

POPULARIZINC FRENCH COIN
Strange Way Of Creating a Demand
for q Formerly Unpopular
Nickel.

This little story comes from
Paris, says the indianapolis News.
Some time ago a five sous piece
in nickel was coined. 1t was very
unpopular among small trades
people, who in every possible way
avoided taking it. One day the
story spread with lightning rapid
ity that among all these pieces OF
nickel there were five to which
the mint had given IA particular
mark that made them specially
valuable. This mark was the
name of Rothschild and the lucky
persons who should discover these
marked pieces would, on carrying
them to the rich banker, receive,
for the first piece $4,000 francs
$4,000; the second, 10000 francs;
the third and fourth 5000 francs
each, and the last 1000 francs.
1t IA given out that this lot
terry was gotten up by Rothschild
because he is largely interested in
nickel, as he is in other metals.
The new money is now in great de-
mand and each side of every coin
is eagerly scanned in the hope Of
finding the microscopic mark of
the great ROthschild.
Some shrewd persons are won
dering to whom is due the credit
for having thus created a demand
for this unpopular piece of money.
