The salary of our efficient post
master, Mr. Louis Jacobs, has
been raised from 81, 300 to 81, 400,

Having reached the ripe old age
of IS years, Capt. E. J. Hamilton
died at his home in this city Tues

great general being of the most
confidential nature. In the earliest

I have here a lemon, but of course. you can t see it. I am about to cut it in two and bring out of it ar elephant!
 The audience settled down. Squash I cut the lemon. "And new," I said "the elephant has gone. It has walked off the stage. But, of course, you can 4 see it, but that doesn t natter"

A Curious Incident.

A friend of mine (writes Scottish ;orrespondenD recently saw piece of crumpled paper lying on the street. He picked it up It was n one e-pound note. Some men might have pocketed it with a smile of satisfaction. My friends, how. ever, honestly handed it over to the DO ice. A short time afterward he dis. covered that he himself had lost a pound He though over the matter, and remembered that, before finding the note, he had been standing on the edge of the pavement for some time. IL slowly dawned upon him that the pound he had found was his own, and that he had drawn it from his pocket uneon. sciously. He went back promptly to the police station and explained the cir constance. The officer in charge only shook his head and smiled increduously.
 'Very clever,' he said, "but--oh---it will scarcely do." If my friend cared to call back at the end of six months, he was informed, he would get the pound if inthe interval it had not been claimed.

One Woman s Love for a Cat.

"There are two emotions which in my opinion are hard to classify" said a resident of Newton recently. "One of these is cat fear and the other is eat love. Each is capable of being exhibited in forms of great violence. No doubt you have often seen persons show the utmost abhorrence of cats and nearly faint when the felines are brought into their presence. But recent ly I had an occasion to see the love for cat even more remarkably illus trated. Mrs. Carrie Hunter, the wife of prominent politician of Newton, is exceptionally fond of the animals. When she obtained a fine specimen of a eat yellow in color she rapidly became greatly attached to it. The cat, how ever, developed the bad habit of disap- bearing frequently At each disappear. ance Mrs. Hunter recovered the eat by means of advertisements in the paper, offering a liberal reward. Not long ago the cat made it's usual trip somewhere, and for days did not show up in its usual haunts. Finally, fearing that the beloved cat would never return, Mrs. Hunter, after trying the usual adver- tisements in the paper without success, had large number of posters printed, describing the cat minutely, and offer ing a substantial reward for the recov- cry of the beast. In addition to putting these posters on every crossroads in the country, Mrs. Hunter spends large part of every day in her carriage hunt ing for the lost feline. Up to the pres ent time, which is some three weeks, the cat has not been recovered. The owner has not yet despaired of finding the cat, however, and is still searching diligently. It seems to me that no greater example. of cat love could be found than this. ''-Des Moines Regis ter and Leader.

Baking Cure for Burned Persons.

Baking a patient as a cure for burns is the new method now used in Roose- welt hospital. For years sun baths and fresh air have been used with excellent results, in cases of unusually bad burns, but about four months ago the Roose. welt hospital doctors devised a scheme whereby the burned person is confined in variety of oven and his body sub jected to a continuous stream of hot air.
 This idea, which is a new one to the medical profession, has proved very sue. cessful, patients having been cured whose bodies were scared nearly half over, while as rule when the surface of the body is one-third burned the case is deemed fatal.
 This oven contrivanee is made of bed clothes, which are stretched over lattice work to keep them from coming in con tact with the patient. The heat is fur nished by common gas stove, which thC bSuoAuCs SH Lulb blONc is a specially contrived air chamber, much after the fashion of hot-air fur. mace. From this air chamber a tube runs underneath the bed, sending con- stant flow of heated air under the clothes. But as the air must be always fresh, the blankets lie loosely about the patients neck, allowing ventilation.
 From time to time the patient is moved to allow the heat to strike all burned parts of the body regularly, while at intervals special salve is rub bed on the patient. As fast as this cakes from the heat it is removed and fresh lotion is applied. By this means many lives which otherwise would have been lost have been saved. New York World.

A Tip for Hold-Up Men.

Afraid of banks and fearful of in vestments, there is man walking some where about Queen Borough each day with $60,000 in bills pinned to his un. dershirt. He has carried the money about in that manner since the October financial furry. Ignoring the advice of his friends, he carries the money about with him, believing that it is safe only under his eye, or, more literally, under his shirt.
 County Judge Burt Jay Humphrey, of Queens, who lives in Jamaica, told some of his friends of the man.
 "I hope some one will hold him up and steal his shirt and put the money in circulation" said one of his friends. New York World.
