'This is a practical demonstration Of the
saying that every man ought to have bis
name printed on his envelopes" said the
postmaster pointing to three or four letters
held for postage. Any man is likely to
put letters in the postofice without plac-
ing postage on it. With a card on the
envelope we can stamp it and collect the
postage when the writer comes in. We
don't know who dropped those letters
into the box and must hold them until
we write the persons addressed and they
send us the postage. That is the rule of
the postofice department..
An important change in regulations
affecting registration Of postal matter is
noted in an order just issued by the Post
master. General. Whenever request is
made by the sender of registered mail
matter, receipt showing person to whom
and time when the matter was delivered
will be taken by postmaster at point Of
delivery and returned to tine sender. IRE.
ceipt desired' must be inscribed, how
ever, on the registered matter for which
the sender wishes such receipt. For
the present the Postmaster. General in-
structs postmaster to ask if return receipt
is desired, and, when indicated, to In
dorse mail for patrons of this Office.
To the man who has been reared in the
country or the country town which is
adjacent to open fields and woods, and
which is but step from the street or
lane to an adjoining farm, there is no
sweeter sound at this season of the year
than that made by the kstydid when IL
begins its evening serenade of the oft.re-
peated assertion. To add to the old
familiar charge and the equally oft re.
peated denial Of what Katy did, is The
chorus of the crickete and the thousands
Of other night insects. The first chorus
of the katydid was heard tuning up the
early part Of this week, and the old adage
says that we shall have frost within six
weeks from that time.
