The Old Year.

Cleared to-day from the port of earth,
The good year NevermOre;
With the skipper time and passengers
Twelve,
For the harbor Heretofore;
December asleep in the open air
On the old years deck was lying;
And sad old man with frost in his hair
To himself was softly signing.
Beyond him a matron in rich brocade
Reclined on a cluster of sheaves
And maid in green with rainbow zone
Was trimming her girdle with leaves.
Away by himself in the vessels bow
A nameless old creature had crept;
His heart had grown old and his eyes
And Twas plain to be seen that he wept;
And a 'adiant girl with deep blue eyes,
(She KS named in the list as June)
Had bent like a roSe-tree over tomb,
An her words themselves were tune.
Her breath softly played on his shriveled
chick
Till it melted frozen tear
That spa killed as bright in the wintry air
AS if April herself were near.
The anchor came up with right good
will
Blue walters sank under the lea;
The groupings grew dim and the sails q
film
And the vessel was out at sea.

however, are the figures that tre De

country, Gluch the larger portion of
the pruns supply coming from the

In Santa Clara county alone there

Less than twenty years. ago the
supply Of prunes of the United States
came almost wholly from France and
the Danubian provinces and was sold
under the designation of French" or

Subtle Poison of Java.

The natives Of Java have a natura
poison to aid them in avenging them
selves against their enemies. 1t is
strong fluid found in the bark of the
upas tree. The bark is over an inch
thick and is very spongy. A drop OF
the fluid on the skin causes intense
irritation. A private revenge is salts
fed by hiding a cup Of this fluid In

crossed the high divide. The fluid
produces stupor, which finally ends in
death.

Washington, Aug. l0.-A vigorous
campaign is now being conducted by
the postoffice department against pub,
locations enjoying the one cent pound
postage rate in violation of the law
This campaign is being made with
view of wiping out the deficit in postal
receipts. which last year amounted to
more than $14,00O,00O, and for which
it Is charged these publications are
largely responsible.
The admitting of magazines and 9TH
er publications to the low rate postage
requires that each must have a bona
fide subscription list, and that the SUBJ
scriptiOn must be paid for in cash by
the subscriber or some friend. The
department has obtained possession of
the subscription lists of many of these
publications, and It is sending out
thousands of communications, asking
those to whom these publications are
mailed whether they or their friends
paid for the subscriptions.
Many responses have already been
received, and large proportion say
that the papers in question are being
mailed without having been paid for
When several such answers regarding
one publication are in the hands Of
the department, the managers of the
publication are summoned and asked
to show cause why they should not be
deprived of the privilege of mailing
their publications at the one cent a
pound rate. When unable to furnish
satisfactory reason they are then
denied the privilege and to continue
their business must pay cents a
pound.
In his last annual report Postmaster
General Cortelyou said that it cost the
government from S to cents pound
to handle mail matter of all classes.
During the last fiscal year the total
weight carried at one cent pound and
free was 663,1O7,12S pounds. II it
cost the government cents a pound to
handle this matter it will be seen the
amount paid out was $33,155, 1856 40.
The actual revenue was $685. 4754.
The situation now and for some
time past, says the postmaster general,
with regard to the publishers of bona
fide newspapers and periodicals, and
the public itself, 10 wholly different
from that at the time the law was
enacted. The joint committee Of con-
gress which is to revise the law will

The SEA GIVES UP.
MANY Of DEAD
VICTIMS
Bodies Of sirio Victims Cast
Ashore Captain Not a
Suicide.
Special to RI. Ev-al.s T,nes.

Cartagena, Spain. Aug. 10.-Numer-
GUS bodies were thrown up on the
shore during the day from the wreck
of the Italian steamer sirio. Most vt
them are OF persons of the better class.
Several small fishing smacks have ar
rived. bringing in sometimes one and
sometimes several survivors Of the
Sirio, who were found floating at sea
long distance from the scene of the
disaster.
1t Is believed that some of the pas
sengers who secured life belts have
been picked up alive by French, Ger
mans-Italian or British sailing vessels
passing In the vicinity. and have dis
embarked at Barcelona, Port Vendres
or Marseilles. The vicinity of Cape
Palos is much frequented by sailing
and steam ships
Spanish warships stationed at Cart
agena and Alicante have been ordered
to search the neighborhood of the ca
tastrophe for survivors who may still
be floating on pieces Of wreckage or
with life buoys. British warships at
Gibraltar have also started at full
speed in the direction of Cape Palos
to render assistance in exploring the
surrounding seas
The first reports of the disaster
declared without qualification that the
captain of the Sirio had committed
suicide. Later information, however,
shows that he was on the steamer
when she sank, and expressed the de-
termination to 60 down with his ves-
sci. He was afterward rescued in
spite of his refusal to be saved.
The Spanish minister of the interior
has requested the ministry of finance
to supply funds to succor the stricken
passengers. The Italian consul here
and the members of the Italian colony,
acting in. cooperation with the local
authorities, have provided for the i'm
mediate wants of the shipwrecked peo-
pie.
The survivors of the Sirio wreck to
date are 34S Italians. 40 Spaniards, II
Arabs, 10 Austrians. 6 Orientals, 4 Ar
gentines, 4 Brazilians, Montenegrins
and 119 persons whose nationality is
not set forth.
