His Hobby.

One man with an odd hobby isn't a
person who gets much mail, and what
he has or expects to have he can keep
in mind very easily. Probably he
never had a letter which went astray.
Yet every time he sees in the news
papers the list of advertised mail sent
out from time to time by the general
postonice in New York he turns at
once to the initial letter under which
his name comes and runs carefully
through the list. He never yet has
found any letter that might be sup
posed to be for him and, furthermore.
hasn't found any that might be for any
Of his relatives. q,
He takes an odd pleasure in doing It,
however, something with that eager
ness which impels a man to grub
through packet of old letters in
hopes that he may come upon some
rare variety of stamp. Really, II ever
he found his name in the list 1t proba'
bly, would kill his enjoyment of the
hunt forever thereafter.-New York

Decay of BUILDING Stones,

The causes of decay in building
stones are various and depend on the
physical structure of the stone, its
composition and the nature of the sur
rounding atmosphere. The most de-
structive agent 10 which the stone is
exposed is rain or n moist atmosphere
and also in IA minor degree wind, frost
aud smoke The air of large towns is
usually charged with various deletcri-
Gus acids. These acids are dissolved
by the rain, which penetrates the stone
in 4 greater or less degree, according
To it's physical structure, and combines

GRAFT IN RUSSIA.
Removing the Difficulties In an Army
Officers Transfer.


A Young Russian officer wished to be
transferred to another regiment and
took his request in person to one Of
the lights OF the Russian general stan.
That powerful officer shook his head
and declared the matter very difficult
to arrange-almost impossible. Then
his glance fell suddenly upon the shoes
of the lieutenant. To the amazement
of his visitor, the senior officer said
that the lieutenants shoes were not
nearly good enough for an officer and
that he would strongly advise him to
buy new shoes of a shoemaker whose
address he gave Then. telling his WIS.,
itor to return in eight days, he dis
missed him. The latter was clever
enough to realize that he could not re-
turn without the new shoes, so be hur-
ried to the shoemaker. On hearing
who had sent him the shoemaker said
that the lieutenant could have the
shoes In 1--WE days for the sum Of $3.50.
Much astonished, the officer went to a
comrade for advice. He was told to
pay half Of this sum at once and the
rest when his shoes were finished.
This the officer did. and, wearing his
new boots, he duly kept his appoint
ment with the general staff officer and
learned to his Joy that all the grave
difficulties" In the way OF his transfer
had been successfully removed.
