On that date. according to instructions received from Washing ton. the postof1ce will begin weighing every ounce and pound of mail that leaves the postoffice
 This weighing system will be kept up for six months continuously in or der to arrive at an approximation for a new contract between the Govern ment and tho railroads for the trans portation of mall The railroads carry the mail on a weight basis. and 1t Is the custom to make new contracts every fouv years. The next will be made July 1, 1908. and the Government be- gins weighing the mall year in ad- vance.
 To weigh the mail at the postofficc is quite an innovation as this has here tofore been done by a Government em- ploye on board the trains.

An experimenter with the Mexican

varied visions. Before him fit myriads
of dainty butterfly forms, glistening,
iridescent, fibrous wings of insects, re-
volving vessels on whose highly pol
ished concave surface of mother-of-

play. There are elaborate sweetmeats
in endless and appealing variety, and

room with a glorious radiance, while
wonderfully colored shadows of red,
green and violet fit here and there.
Generally, it is said, no feeling of de-
preston or physical discomfort fol-
lows the dream.
A medical experimenter in Ken
lucky, soon after taking a large dose
of haschisch, began to feel very ex-
cited; a feeling of finer joyousness
possessed him; all fatigue seemed
banished forever, and his mind ran
riot, one bizarre idea after another
rapidly passing through his mind.
Later his brain seemed split in two
parts, one of which urged him to the
performance of comic gestures, while
the other as insistently limited an i'm
pending death, and suggested restraint
and instant medical advice.
While waiting for a doctor he expe-
rienced alternate spells of lucidity,
and periods when all connections be-
tween himself and the outside world
seemed to be severed, when a chaos
of disjointed ideas and wild reveries
obsessed him. The duration of these
latter periods was never longer than
two minutes, but each seemed an
eternity. 1t appeared hopeless task
to follow the minute hand of his
watch during its infinite round; long
before the 60 seconds had elapsed he
gave up the stupendous task in deep
despair. The departure of the doc
tor synchronized with the return of the
feeling of impending death, now most
horribly intense.
He imagined himself surrounded by
grotesque, menacing, cruel-visaged
monsters. He felt himself expanding,
dilating, dissolving into space, as he
ascended steep precipices, covered
with Brobdignagian creatures Eome-
what like lizards, overhanging enor-
nous abysses, the while he was over
whelmed by horrible, rending, unut-
terable despair.

The Habits of Wolves.

The range of pair of wolves is an
area of from six to ten miles square.
When the hunter learns that wolves
have been seen and heard in GER
tain locality it may take several days
of scouting before the dogs can be got
on the trail. The hunter must look
sharp for signs in soft or sandy places
and along creeks and streams.
The old lady wolf will, as rule,
go to the nearest water to drink
when leaving the den, or go to get
a drink as she returns from the hunt
before going to the den, and its local
ity is often found on account of that
habit. A wolf track can be distin-
guished from that of dog, because
the two front toenails are set fur
ther ahead, making the track more
pointed. When wolves are running
and especially if frightened, these toes
spread apart, making track that at
a hasty glance looks very much like
the track of deer.-Fur News.
