TRENCH MAIL BUSINESS
 CONTINUES TO BE HEAVY


 Paris, June 29--War has had con-. trary effects on the postal service of France Obstructionss to commerce and industry resulted in a great de- crease in business correspondence, by the increase in personal letters be- tween members of dispersed families and the soldiers and their relatives. In a single day the postal depart nent handled 14 million letters, 78O thousand registered letters and pack ages. 135 thousand newspapers and .57 thousand postal orders. The volume of matter has steadily in- creased since December
 But the moratoriuna, the closing of a number of financial establishments and the suppression of discount has also turned a great flood of collec- ton business to the postal depart 1nent.
 Naturally, .'dead letters have also largely increased, partly through the inpossibiIity of delivering the letters or packages to their destination, but largely on account Of defective ad- dresses. Between December 1914 and May 5th last eight and a half million letters and nearly sixty thou sand packages were thrown into the refuse heap Among the letters that have gone to the Dead Letter Off, fice'' during that time were found bank bills to the amount of 36O ,0Oo- francs of which the department has been able to return to its owners only about 30,000.

An Earlu enai RIunrlan.

Dyeings or, at any rate, the madier root used in it. was the subject of one of the oddest of England's legislative blunders. In the reign of George III. it was found necessary to regulate the trade in madder. and accordingly an act was passed for that purpose. Tests of it's purity were ordained, and vari- ous regulations spread the length of the act to over sixty sections. But when. it was finally passed into law it was found that madder was not once mentioned by name in it. Tn fact, those called upon to administer 1t had no official Knowledge of what the act was talking about-London Telegraph.

AMERICANS PROTEST BARRAROUs CUSTOM
 OF CHINESE NATION

Picking, May 29-American mis- stonaries and others have again be- come prominent in Peking over a
 matter that promised seriously to af- feet not only their work but the prin- cipIes for which they stood. The case was that of a Chinese admiral and two minor officers who were re- lieved from their positions because they refused to take an oath, accord ing to the new regulation of the gov ernment, before the images in the Temple dedicated to certain war heroes. The matter was brought by a certain Annericani to the attention of President Yuan Shi-kai, and it was pointed out that this was by no means the doctrine of religious liberty to which the organizers of the Chinese Republic had pledged themselves. The argument in reply declared that the res11ations were drafted with no idea of transgressing the rights and beliefs of any Chinese citizens, but the num- Der of Christians being so compara- lively small throughout the nation, no special consideration had been given to them.
 The officers were subsequently, rein. stated, and 1, were permitted to take oath in a form acceptable to Chris tianS-

BAKED CIGARS.

Before Smoking the English Dry Out
 All Spirits and Nicotine.
 The English bake their cigars thor oughly in the oven until all of the mois- ture and nicotine are dried out As is we'll known. they have the pick of the tobacco crop over there, and what they apply to the best of cigars might well be administered to those of inferior quality which are smoked in America.
 Here is what every smoker should @o: First, loosen the cigars in the box and let them stand on or near stove or radiator until absolutely dry.
 A moment before smoking wash the cigar in water on the outside and dampen well the wrapper. This may be done at the table by holding the ci- gar by the tip in a glass of drinking water, taking care not to wet the filler Then wipe the tip end before cutting it off on the napkin. Water revives the leaf and restores its natural flavor
 What you have previously dried out in the oven is not water moisture. 1t is the bay rum and other spirits which are frequently sprfnkled over the ei- gars after boxing to keep them looking fresh. Both the wholesaler and the Nre- taller often sprinkle them again before showing them to customers. It is these spirits that tnpart such strong odoR to clothes in which cigars are carried. Drying and washing afterward will make for better smoke, to say neth- ing of better health, in cases where very cheap spirits have been used ca the eigars.-CleveIand Plain Dealer

A man connected with a concern now making war material remarked few days ago. that it seemed almost impossible to get enough skilled work men. He found that there is a. good deal of help that can be had But. only fraction of the applicants are men who can do a high grade of mel chanical adjustment.
 In rush times almost any kind of an employe can get work. His in- ferior product slips along. The in spector may see it's defects. But when customers are clamoring for delivery of orders. many faults slip through that ought not to pass.
 In tine dull times of the past few years, inferior .workmen have found themselves left out of the shufFle- If there was work for only a, part of the force, the skilled man was kept at the bench, while the less efdcient man was informed that there was nothing doing No complaint might 8oe made of the quality of his work. But some how there was never anything for him.
 Just now the rush Of war orders is providing work for many men whose product is of inferior quality. But when the war orders stop and before tn enorma1 trade of peace times is re-esta blished, there will be many an idle day for the second rate ar tisan. These conditions are true not merely of workmen in the lines mat- inE war material, but in all lines of mechanical employment.
 The young mechanic should put some brains into his work. He should study the philosophy Of me chanical processes and physical forces. and learn the one perfect way of per forming every motion.
