Crossing the Bar

Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me!
And NAV there be no moaning of the bar
When put out to sea-
"But such tide as, moving, seems asleep,
Too full for sound and foam,
When that which drew from out the boundless deep
Turns again home.
Twilight and evening bell,
And after that the dark.
And NAV there be sadness or farewell
When embark;
For though from out our bourne OF lime anu Tiaee
The food may bear me tar,

Shortest Street In the world

What is perhaps the shortest street
in the world is West South Division
street in Buffalo. Furthermore, it has
only one side. South Division street
proper runs east from Main, but the
old surveyors allowed 1t to cross Main
street and run for thirty feet on tile
west side. where it intersects Erie
street which runs diagonally SOUTH
west from Main. On the north Of
West Division street is Shelton square,
so the short street has but its south

Ornamental Post Cards Barred.

Jackson, Miss. March 2.-(Special)
Postmaster Edwards has received in
structions from the department at
Washington telling him to bar orna-
mented postal or souvenir cards from
the mails. The postoffice here had
large batch of frosted cards on hand
when this order came, and they have
been stopped. The only way to get
such cards transmitted hereafter Is to
enclose them in envelopes so that they
will not scratch or injure the hands
of the mail clerks.
