Mailing letters on a moving street car
so as to hasten the collection is one of
the practical suggestions that Postmas-
ter Norman A. Merritt. has taken up
with a view to supplying Washington
with all facilities possible in sending out
mail.
The postmaster recently conducted a
series of experiments with the invention,
and gave the device a thorough trial 1t
was found to be all that its inventor,
George B. McAIlister, has claimed for 1t.
While the postmaster has not given out
an official Endorsement of the simple
apparatus, it is understood that he will
be glad to have permission from Con-
gress TO equip street cars in the city
with this labor-saving device.
Under the present system, collections
are made by carriers in all parts of the
city. some on foot and others in carts, at
stated intervals. The business part of the
city is visited more frequently than the
residential parts in order TO better meet
the needs of the business men.
Mail at Crossings.
By the device which Mr.. McAllister
presents the letter may be mailed at
street crossing when the car stops. and,
IL all cars in the city are equipped with
a box, transfers points may be estab-
lished and collections at that point may
be made by carriers or the mail in some
cases may be transferred by an Official
to car passing the post-office, where
an official will be posted to collect it.
The matter is now TO be brought to the
attention of the members Of the Chamber
Of Commerce and a fully equipped
sanapIe of the device has been placed in
the rooms Of the chamber at Twelfth and
F streets, for inspection by the business
men of the city.
Application was made to Secretary
Thomas F. Grant to have the matter
brought to the attention of the Chamber
at its next regular meeting. Mr.. Brant
has made a close inspection OF the ap-
paratus and of its mode OF working, and
expresses himself as being thoroughly
satisfied that It will greatly facilitate
the collection Of mail and be of impor-
tant assistance TO the business COM
munity.
Speaking of the device. Mr.. Grant said
yesterday that it is, in a way, as great
a convenience as a special delivery
stamp. The stamp operates at the de-
livery end of the route, while Mr.. Nc
Allister's invention hastens the departure
of the piece of mail matter. The ease
oG installation and the cheapness of the
service are points that should be partic-
ularly recommended.
Action commencing its installation in
Wilmington, Del. has already been taken
by the board of trade Of that city, which
has sent to the Postmaster General a
resolution of strong Endorsement of the
device of its use to merchants, and
recommending its adoption by the postal
authorities of that city. This action
has been shared in by the city council
of Wilmington, and a request was sent
by the city officials to the postal author
tiles here asking for its adoption.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion OF the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
dition Of the mucous lining OF the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this lube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out OF ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is moth
ing but an inAamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.

Who Will Pay The Freight

The dam breast now being built from
Vinsinger's Mill to CresweM's Hill, UP
the road, by the County Commissioners
and their engineer, is a very great mis-
take. And any man who has ont gump-
tion enough to see the error, is to be
pitied.
Since time immemorial, the overflow
of the Big Elk creek, at the time of any
tresnet or ice gorge, has been unham-
pered at this point, and allowed to pass
gently over Mclnlire's and Creswell's
meadow, which has been the case lol
centuries and ceIturies agone. but right
no" they are dumping many hundreds
OF loads of sand and muck on the road
from the bridge to Creswells Hill. This
road, or breast, is to be high
enough to Lack the overflow, at the tine
OF fresneLs in Mcintlres meadow. Ana
what an awful body of water would be
held up, if this barrier should Withstand
the pressure of the great force brought
up against it. Cornfield sense tells Us
that either the dam breast must give way
in the event of one of the periodical
- NSAANSS "a INV Dl6 LIN, ppSduoC IuC
Two bridges below never were of suffi-
cent capacity to carry off the water, or
the bridges must go, together with the
lower end of Davis and Vinsinger's mill.
Who would pay the freight. l know, do
you?
But should this dam-breast give way,
to the awful food beyond, with the vast
meadow inundated to the depth of sew
eral feet, what a deluge would sweep
athwart Mrs. Creswell's lovely meauow.
And then a new channel for the Big Elk
would he right there, ever after, because
there is an abrupt curve in the present
channel, which causes the high waters to
dash and whirl against the bank, up in
Mss Mary's meadow, where il has been
trying 10 cut across for many years.
And all it needs now, to start ii going,
IS for this dambr of sand and muck
to open up, at the proper time, and
these grand old meads will have lost
their magnificance, their beauty forever.
But outside of all of this, how would a
team of horses and loaded wagon ever
be able to cross this huge pile of mud,
after long wet spell.

Too Much Seed

This recalls what farmer told US le-
Gently. He claimed that most wheat
growers plant too much seed; the great
est field of wheat he ever saw was grown
by the late Theodore T. Woolens, on his
farm near Lombard, Md, now owned by
Fri Clendenin. This crop was seeded
with five pecks of wheat per acre. 1t
stooled out wonderfully because it had
room to do so. When wheat is sown too
thick it has not the room TO stool out
