ouT-GLITTERs HIS, GLITTER
Young Man Proud Of His Diamond Got
In Wrong Car at Wrong
Time.

1t was plainly evident to one and
all that the young man seated down
about the center of the car had new
diamond ring in which be took heap
Of pride. For some moments he sat
with the rinS-bearing hand on his
thigh where he could get view of
1t and shower his admiration on the
Notwithstanding stone. Then he
began to polish the gem on the leg OF
his trousers. after which he went fur
ther and cleaned the dust from the
innards of the setting with a tooth
pick. He got to fretting lest other
passengers should not share with him
the joy OF feasting their eyes on the
solitaire 1t represented all the earn
ings for several months. but he was
willing that others should feast their
eyes on its glitter free Of charge So
he raised his hand to his mouth. and
scratched at one of his teeth. that all
might see.
Now while this was going on, an
older man across the aisle was get
ting more fdgety every minute. He
looked as II he'd have given a whole
lot for the privilege of pasting the
young man opposite him one in the
eye. But as that seemed likely to
cause excitement among the other
passengers. he took another means of
getting rid of Young
His-Diamond.
He reached In his pocket and pro-
duced a heavy manila envelope from
which he took a couple of dozen dia-
mond rings These he proceeded to
put on. about two to a finger. until
his hands looked like Christmas dis
play in a jewelry store. Furthermore.
he took out big diamond horseshoe
an affair large enough for the hoof
OF yearnng colt. It seemed, and
pinned IT on the lapel Of his coat.
II was some moments before the
young man who'd planted his entirs
fortune in ring happened to look uy
and see the display opposite. When
he did his face looked like that OF Q
man who had just seen something
when there wasn't anything there.
He rang the bell-using his rinsless
hand. too-and got on at the neTt
corner
Then the man across the aisle. who
happened to be jewelry salesman.
put his samples back into his pocket
and resumed the reading OF his paper.

Most Valuable Timber.

Arthur J. Clair. the American con-
sui at Georgetown. reports that green
heart timber. which Is plentiful IN
British Guiana. was used In the CON
struction of the great lock gates in
the Manchester ship canal, and that
for the last ffty years all the lock
gates in the Mersey harbor have been
built of the same wood II has been
specified for use az sills and tenders
IN the lock gates Of the Panama canal,
And Il In being extensively used in the
new naval docks at Methil. Scotland.
Leading authority says II Is difncuit
to fix a limit to the durability of lock
gates built OF green heart: the only
element in their construction limiting
their age is the iron bolts and other
fastenings. usually renewed without
serious difficulty. While rebuilding
the gates of Canada docks in 1894 II
was found that green heart. after
thirty-eight years use. was as good ar
at first, and II was again used in the
construction OF new gates. EverT
wharf in the port OF Georgetown is
built on green heart piles, which sue
cessfully Withstand the attack of tho
pile worm. Teak. or oak, or any other
hard wood. would be destroyed In a
few years. The immunity OF green
heart from the teredo is said to be
due TO the large quantity of the al
kaloid bebeerine found only In this

SOME CHANGES
MADE IN POST
OFFICE BUSINESS

Two important changes nave 1ust
gone into effect at all of the postoflices
throughout the country They will
not, however. to great extent af-
feet the public in its daily use of the
mails, but will be the means of saving
a lot of time ana money to the gov
ernment One of the changes is in
the money order department and the
other in the registry department.
In the money order department the
sending of advices has been done away
with and the department will hereaf-
ter be handled in much the same man
ner as that department is by the ex-
press companies. As everybody knows
it has been the custom in the past for
the postofflce issuing a money order
to make out sort of duplicate every
time one was sold and Onward to the
paying office This practice has been
discontinued When a money order is
issued in the future It will be in prac-
tically the same form as those of the
pdSl, dllnOuBu cih StuD VIII
be retained by the authorities at the
issuing office and filed away as a
check in the business of the money
order department Then II a mutt
lated order, or one that has been
changed presents itself identity can
easily be established by tn erecords
OF the issuing office, which show the
date, the amount and to whom the or
der was issued. The sending of these
advices has been source of a great
expense to the department and has
called for vast amount of extra work
among the employees. In this item
alone it is expected that hundreds of
thousands of dollars will he saved
each year.
This change will only affect the pub
lie in as much as it will behove them
to be more particular in the nature of
the envelopes in which they send reg
istered matter. Heretofore 1t has been
the custom to enclose the original
envelope in an official envelope and
forward the package to the destina-
ton. Now this official envelope will
be done away with and the register
ed letter will go to its journeys end
with no other protection than the or
iginal envelope
AS this department OF. the postal de-
partmeut is used almost exclusively
for the transaction of valuable papers.
money and iewelry. It will he well for
the person contemplating sending a
registered letter or packages to see
to it that the envelope is Of heavy
firm paper. and one that will net be
easily destroyed. This viii insure de-
livery Of the contents in perfect con
dition. whereas Otherwise If a fimsy
envelope WIS used the contents might
become damaged or defaced
These registry envelopes which
have been in use by the department
for this branch Of the service were Of
heavy. strong paper. and each year
the bill for these alone was no small
item.
