If all the post offices in the country were doing as well, the pOstoffice department would be a source of revenue to such an eX- tent that the tax might be taken off of tobacco. Notwithstanding the growth of the business of the Phoenix office its expenses for the last year were in creased only $50 a month. The re- ceipts for the year exceeded those of the previous year by more than $500. MORE EXHlBlTS.-D.

Both were too big for any jar in the house and as they were fully ripe and would soon begin to enter upon a physical de- cline, the secretary felt that it was his duty to eat them, and with the help of his friends he did so. MT. Huston lives four and half miles southeast of Phoenix and promises to bring in some melons of a smaller size grown to fit the regulation display jar for preserving fruits.
