THE CARRIERS
SUGGESTIONS

/. You will he doing yonr carrier
great favor if you always stamp your
mail before putting same in box, or
use government stamped envelopes, and
always put return upon left hand cor
ner. This will guarantee delivery or
return of letter.
2. If you should not happen to have
stamps or stamped envelopes wrap the
amount up in paper, remembering that
in cold weather if the money is put in
the box loose, the carrier has to take
off his gloves or mittens to get hold of
these loose pennies.
3. Always put stamp upon the up
per right hand corner. If you should
spoil a government stamped envelope
your carrier or postmaster will redeem
it with stamps or postal cards at post
office.
/. When addressing a letter to one
who is not regular patron of rural
route or postoffice you should mark on
the envelope in whose care the letter
or package should go.
.. In addressing your letters do not
write above the middle of the en-
velope, as the address may be partly
blurred by being struck with the post
marking stamp.
Is. In regard to boxes help your car
rier by having good one in a good
easy place to drive up to- and always
have your mail ready.
Z. If you have visitors who are ex-
pecting mail, you should give the car
rier their names.
s. Any mail matter deposited in
box is subjected to ordinary postage
rates.
8. Packages should be we'll wrapped
and securely tied, and all valuable let
ters and packages should be registered,
which costs cents in addition TO reg
ular postage. This insures safe deliv-
cry and return receipt.
10. The mail boxes are protected By
the government, any one tampering
with them not interested should be re-
ported to your carrier or postmaster.

Zephyr" and ''cipher" and zero"
are words that come to the English
from the Arabic "slfr," which meant
literally empty" and so nothing" and
the figure that represents nothing. In
medieval Latin this figure was called
both "ciphra" and 'zephyrum," the lat
ter probably from association with "ze-
phyrus" or something even lighter
than air; hence through the Italian
"Zefiro" there is the word Zero" as

The Way Judge Thacher Dodsed
Challenge to a Duel.

Documents in the Congressional IL
the establishment of the mint was
under discussion in Washington's time
there We're some amusing debates in
congress concerning the devices the
coins should bear. There is one ac-
count of a squabble over the design
for the silver dollar.
1t appears that member of the
house from southern state bitterly
opposed the choice of the eagle on ac-
count of its being the king of Birds"
and hence neither suitable nor proper
TO represent nation whose institu-
tions and interests We're wholly in
imical to monarchical forms of govern
ment.
Judge Thachcr in reply had playfully
suggested that perhaps a goose might
suit the gentleman. as it was rather
humble and republican bird and would
also be serviceable in other respects,
as the goslings would answer to place
upon the dimes.
This reply created considerable mer-
riment. and the irate sOutherner, con-
sidering the humorous rejoinder an in
suit, sent challenge to Judge Thach-
er, who proudly declined it. The bear
er, rather astonished, asked, "Will you
be branded as a coward?'
Certainly, if he pleases," replied
Thacher Il always was one and he
knew it, or he would never have risked
a challenge"
The affair caused much mirth, but
was finally adjusted, cordial relations
being restored, the irritable southern
er concluding that there was nothing
to be gained in fighting one who fired
nothing but jokes.-Chicago Chronicle.
