Proyida Yourselves with
Stamp Supplies

The Postmaster at Upper Marlboro
has received the following letter from
tn. fourth Assistant Postmaster Gener-
al.
From recent count made by rural
carriers in one of the counties in the
state of New York of coins deposited
by patrons in their boxes for the pur-
chase IF stamp supplies, it was found
that each carrier in the county was
collecting al average of 1l5 one-cent
coins each week This average applied
to all the rou es in operation through
ont the country would give the enorm-
Gus total of about 100000, 0CO one-cent
coins.
As most of these coins are deposited
loose, it is desirable that you and the
rural carriers, in q tactful and polite
way. put forth your best efforts to in
duce patrons to provide themselves
with stamp supplies in advance OF their
needs, and to equip their boxes with
suitable coin-holding receptacles. 1t
should be explained to patrons that the
picking of loose coins from boxes not
only results in needless hardship and
suffering to carriers in winter weather,
delays the delivery and collection of the
mails, but frequently results In actual
money loss to the carriers. for if, in CO =
Letting coins from boxes, they drop
them into the snow or on the ground
without recovery, they are required to
reulace the amount out Of theirl own
funds.

One Thousand Successful men

The following is from the Juvenile
Court Record:
l have on my desk list of 1000
successful men of this nation. By
successful" l do not mean mere
moneymakers, but men who have given
US new conceptions of steam, electricity
construction work, education, art, sc
These are the men who influence our
moral as we'll as physical lives. They
construct for better things.
How these man started in work is in
teres.ing Tneir first foothold in work
is fire study.
Three hundred started as farmers
sons.
Two hundred started So messenger
boys.
Two hundred W ere ncwsboys.
One hundred were printers appren-
tees.
One hundred were apprenticed In
manufactures.
Fifty beg N at the bottom of railway
work.
Fifty-only 5O-had wealthy parents
to give them start.

Can Build to Baltimore

Grading for the tracks of the new
Washing ton, Spring and Gretna Rail-
road, which is authorized to be built
from Washington to Baltimore, was
begun Saturday, when 100 men were
put TO work on the Bladensburg road,
which will be used by the railroad as
an entry to Washington. The survey
of the road has been completed for
some time between Bla lensburg and
Washington. Engineers are said to be
engaged in running lines between
Bladensburg and Baltimore, though SO
far as can be ascertained there is no in
tentioa any time soon to build the line
to the Maryland metropolis.

lava streams that have long since ceas-
ed to flow. According to Mr.. Preusser'
he has found volcanic debris on his
Prince Georges county farm. Whether
this marks the outlet of an ancient u.s.
sure or merely the track of some pre-
historic stream from the highlands
does NOT appear. The geologlsts, no
doubt, will settle the question to their
own satisfaction.
meanwhile, it may be we'll for the
farmers of Maryland to stick to their
blows and harrows, wasting no time
upon vain scar ches for improbable
Golcondas. The soil of this grand OLD
State, when suitably stimulated by the
hand of art, produces things which are
of far more value to the human race
than dia monds. A brilliant solitaire
however great its cost, is a useless
paud. There is no nutriment in it; 1t
has no rdietetic Importance; it buffers
no parsnips. The proud dukes and
bette ears of Europe, though they own
tons of diamonds, are still compelled
to feed upon victusls which would in
spire disgust in Charles county black
amoor. Sugar corn On the ear is
stranger to their uninviting banquets;
they have never tasted fried hominy,
planked sbad, scrapple or soft crabs;
thew live and die in ignorance of oyster
stew and chicken la Maryland.
So long as the soil of Maryland pro-
duces such things in quantity sufficient
to make every MarYlander fat and hap
py, the search for diamonds will remain
an idle vanity. We have enough money
as it is and enough jewelry. All that
we hope for and strive for today is more
time to eat.

Christmas Chimes in Many
Chimes

Christmas is always season OF good
wishes and loving kindness.
In America almost all little children
hang up their stockings on Christmas
eve, to be filled by kind old Santa
Claus. In Germany they make more or
Christmas than we do in America
Everywhere the Christmas tree is used
If family is too poor to have a
whole tree, single branch only will
stand in a conspicuous place, hung with
the few simple gifts.
A week before Christmas st. Nicholas
visits the children to find out who have
been good enough to receive the gifts
the Christ Child will bring them or
Christmas eve.
1t is very usual thing to see on
German Christmas tree, way up in the
very topmost branch, an image or doll
representing the Christ Guild, while be-
low are sometimes placed other images
representing angels with outspread
wings. After the tree is lighted the
family gather round it and sing a
Christmas hymn.
In England almost every Ole who Can
do so has family party on Christmas
eve. Young and old join in the game,
many of which belong especially to
Christm is time. From the ceiling OF
one of the rooms large bunch of mis-
tletoe is hung If any little maid is
caught standing under it, the one who
catches her has right to take kiss
from her rosy lips.
In Holland the little Dutch girl puts
her wooden shoe in the chimney place
ready for gifts. just as the little Amer,
lean girl hangs up her stocking.
And so in some way all over the
| Christian world on the eve Of the TWEEN,
ty-tifth day of December the birth OF
our Lord Jesus Christ is celebrated
Everywhere this Christmas chimes ar,
ringing out the message the angels
brought to Bethlehem-"Peace on earth
good will to men"

Fortune ON His Farm, If

Mr. Richard F. Preusser, a locksmith,
of 713 Eleventh street northwest,
Washington. D. c.. asserts that he
owns diamond weighing about SO
grains, aud worth at the lowest esti-
mate $4,000. He found the stone
eight months ago on his farm near
Bladensburg, this county, and has had
it tested by several diamond experts
since then, but no two opinions seem
to agree as to the value of the stone.
The stone is about Il inches in length
and width, and nearly II inches in
thickness 1t was fou nd on Mr.. Preus-
ser's farm W lille he was digging ditch
for drat mage purposes. Among the
rocks VIZ quantity of quartz.
The Baltimore Sun, in commenting
upon the above announcement, says:
1.-THE discovery of 15-karat diamond
in Prince Georges county, as reported
by MIR. Richard F. Preusser, makes an
interesting news item, but it by no
means justifes wild rush of prospec-
tors to Southern Maryland. Such stray
stones, in iesl, have been found moro
than once in the region between the
Appalachian chain and the Atlantic
Ocean. AS eally as 1866 one Of nearly
25 karats was unearthed at Manchester,
Va, aud ever since that time reports of
occasional finds have come from the
States sdu tn of the Potomac, and par
ticularly: fr ON North Carolina. If we
are not mist ak en-, several attempts have
been made to organize the search for
gems as a commercial enterprise. but
