several months. He was preparing to

A MOW ORDER.
M. QUAD RELATES HIS EXPERIENCE
n. WITH A POSTOFFICE CLERK.
A Nice, Easy Way to Send Money?Had
to l>e Identified?Identification of the
Identifier?Heroic Attempt to Cut tlio
Gordian Knot.
One of the reasons that induced me to have
a remittance sent to Atlantic City in the way
of a postoffice money order was the fact that
the express company or a bank would demand
personal identification. Almost everybody
is certain of his own identity, but when
it comes to some one else being certain the
case assumes a different aspect, especially if a
sum of money is concerned. However, this
great and glorious government, in its praiseworthy
desire to help a stranger in a strange
land out of a bad box, will permit a friend to
deposit money in one posftoffice and let you
draw it out at another. The man at the desk
v. iu asK you wuo sent 3r? proviamg you are
a stranger to him, and when you have replied
that the sender was John Smith, your
brother-in-law, and a good fellow generally,
and that you have been expecting the order
for two days, and that the folks around the
hotel can no longer look upon you without
suspicion, lie will hand it over without a doubt
that yon are the person for whom it was intended.
It's a nice, easy way, you see, and
the bank tellers and express agents are awfully
put out because they can no longer
bluff strapped strangers.
"I have a little order," I said to the money
order clerk as I went back into his den.
ttV rs 7? lin /rvii/l/vinf?lTr i?Ar\11'a/) 00 U/%
JL-c-o, lie gx uu^uigij ao uc; x
ceived it. "Is this your nanc?"
"Yes."
"Who was it sent by?"
"John Doe, of Detroit."
"Yes?um! You'll have to be identified V
"Why so? Haven't I told you who it was
sent by, and didn't I receive it in this letter
directed to me and deposited in a box which
I rent here?"
"Yes. but "
"If this isn't my name how do I get the
letter addressed to it? If I am somebody
else what right have^-ou to hand me another
person"* mail?"
"I know, but you must be identified."
"But there isn't a person here who knows
me a*d I am dead broke and far from home."
"Can't help that."
"And you won't pay?"'
"Not unless you are identified."
I went back to the hotel and asked the
Hr-rk- if hp would idprtfifv mf>
' Well, I don't know yon, you see/'
' But ain't I registered and haven't I been
here several daysi"
''Oh, yes, but you might liave assumed this*
nun's name, you see. People often do that."
'* Well, come up and look over my trunk.
Look at these half dozen envelopes. Go ask
my wife who I am.
"Yes, but. you must excuse me. It's against
owfcis, you know.*'
"Orders be hanged! i owe you $30: here's
an order for &30. Either help me to get it
cashed or I'lf walk off with your bill unpaid."
He concluded to identify me. He wrote a
note to the postmaster to- the effect that he
believed that the bearer was the person
named in the order, and I returned to the
postoffice. shoved the note through the window
and asked:
"Well, what do vou think of that?" The
clerk looked at the signature, scratched his
head, and mused:
' Boggs, of the Gilsey house? Who in Halifax
is Boggs?-'
"Perhaps you want him identified.'" I
asked.
"I do!" he coolly replied as he handed the
note back. "Can't say that .I ever heard of
Boggs."
Something was said about some one getting
licked if he would come out of doors, but he
wouldn't come. I went back and told Boggs
the result, and he looked at me in a vacant
way and replied:
uile not Boggs? Well, he may be right.
We can't take no chances here."
Xext day I went down for the mail, having
determined to let the order cash itself. There
was a card in the box asking me to call at the
money order office, and when I showed up the
cleric said:
"Who sent you that order'"
' John Doe."
"Where does he live?"
''Detroit."
"Oh?ah. I guess it's all right, but you'll
have to get your money at the bank across
the way."
"Are you sure I'm the man?"
"You may or may not be, but we'll cash it."
He cave me an order on the bank, and I
skipped across and handed it to' the paying
teller. .
"Y-e-s," he said as he seized it, "youll have
to be identified."
"What!"
"Have to be identified."
"I'll S>e durued if I do! I just got that order
from the money clerk, who kept m<* out of it
three days, and I don't propose to fool away
any more time."
-Can't help it."
"Will you come'out doors?"
"2so. sir!"
t-TTm vnn let 111? in fliers?"
"No. sir!''
I was going out. leaving the order in his
hands, when Boggs came in. I told him of
the difficulty, and he said to the cashier:
' It's ail right?I know him."
' But I don't know you !v replied the teller.
. Boggs then offered to fight him inside or
outside the railing, and after we had got the

A Curions Phenomenon. .
On the eastern coast of the Caspian sea a
curious phenomenon is in progress. The Kara
Bobhaz is an estuary nearly separated from
the main body of the sea by a bank through
which there is an inlet. The evaporation
from this gulf is so great that a current continually
sets in from the Caspian; and as
there is no return current the water of the
gulf becomes more and more salifercus, and
a deposit of salt is in course of formation.
In time this gulf will be cut off from the
Caspian, and will then be dried up and bemmc
an pTtpnsive salt bed.?Frank Leslie's.
Moving a Grave by Express.
A Chicago expressman says that the oddest
thing he fcver received by express was a grave.
It was in a box four feet long, covered with a
glass. Inside was the earth of a child's grave
?the turf, flowers, headstone and all. It was
going from this state to California. Some
man had moved out there, and had the body
of a dear child taken up and shipped to him.
The thought struck him that he would like to
have a little of the sod from tk^old homestead.
and so he sent for the top of the grave.

KEEPING WELL
Exercise for Aged People?Hunger Cure.
Fa?ting is Good.
M. Buchardt. professor of hygiene at the
Paris Faculty of Sledicine, declares that aged
Tw\nio cVinnM have exerrise for the benciifc of
all the organs of nutrition and locomotion
as well as young people. He says tliat the
tendency to rest brings on a gradual diminution
of strength. Moderate exercise, particularly
walking, is commended. It is -.veil
known tfiat the disuse of any organ impairs
its powers. Why then shouid not the :;ged
lose the use of their members the sooner from
giving way to an inclination for rest?
Tli? HHnger Cure.
Not favoring any thing which may lxi fairly
called starvation, it is unquestionably true
that there is a manifest advantage, as a curative
means, in reasonable fasting, at least to
an extent to allow the system to rid itself of
oil nMmntjAnc Ac wl"t>n to Iir.vo. more
Ala VWJLi UV. l iVil.'. -- ..X..
labor on hand than can be possibly clone today,
some ol' it must remain till to-morrow,
so when we take more food than can Indigested
in the allotted time, or that so difiieult
of digestion that it cannot be disposed of in
the usual time, there must be an accumulation,
something which serves as an obstruction,
an accumulation of materials which
need to be disposed of, the whole system i>eiug
more or less clogged.
Fasting, therefore, under such circumstances,
is among the most imj.vrtant of the
remedial measures. When this is not <lone.
nature, as the next best means to be employed,
throws off such offending matter by
<rmvii(inof nr nnrcrm'r thus avoiding C'theS
r?0?e>> c
forms of disease, if as disease these friendly
manifestations may be regarded. I well
know that there are persons who believe that
ono mast eas or soon die, but they forget that
Dr. Tanner lived for forty days, taking only
water, and that others have lived still longer,
and that in high fevers and acute diseases,
when the appetite is entirely suspended, several
weeks may pass while the patient is fasting.
The danger of starvation is not as great as
is usually supposed by any means, since the
body is composed mainly of the elements of
air and water, which, we suppose, may be appropriated
in an emergency. Therefore, J
am firm in the opinion that at the commenccrriMit
of an acute disease, decided sickness
may be averted, in nine cases out o? ten, by
reasonable fasting, at least so long as there is
no appetite, with extra bathing, friction
the surface, quiet, rest, a good supply of air
and sunlight.?Dr. Hanaford.
Pare Air.
The atmosphere is a most important factor
in disease. It is always contaminated with
dust containing minute particles which cause
putrefaction and fermentation. It is now asserted
that these cause all malarial and contagious
diseases. Stagnation in the atmos
phere acts as stagnation in water, which
every one knows is unwholesome. The body
requires a vast amount of air, and the poisons
cast off by the human system arc deadly.
If breathed over and over again they ar?
deleterious to the strongest constitution. Defective
sewer pipes are perhaps the most serious
cause of fevers. These should receive
immediate attention as soon as oau oaors are
detected. Especially, let tbe house bo well
and frequently aired and its impurities swept
away, as the tide draws off the drainage of a
city and carries it out to tbe ocean.
Cholera in Corea.
The deaths from cholera in Corea were reported
forawhiloat 1,000 per day. Seoul,
the chief city of tbe peninsula, contains
less than 250,009 inhabitants within its walls.
An important point to r.ote is that tbe sanitary
condition of the capital has been for a
Ion? time horrible, in spite of excellent
natural drainage. Tbe sewers were oncc
very good, although open on tbe streets; but
of late the houses have encroached on tba
thoroughfares, and have been recklessly
built up to and even over the sevrers, leaving
only the space necessaiy for these conduits,
WHICH nave oecomesnuujer ana njiuier. x w;
lesson of this devastation of Seoul is tbe oi.e
that would be taught in any other city of the
world under like circumstances; and horribly
and pitiable as was the mortality, insomuch
as the dead lay ions unburied, it cannot be
called surprising.
SOCIAL INTERCOURSE.
Be Careful to Answer Invitations?Attention
to a Speaker.
One of the most frequent breaches of good
breeding is tbe interruption of one who is
speaking. It requires considerable practice,
especially for a naturally impatient person,
to become habituated to listening attentively
to what a companion .is saying. One who
can stand where a great deal is passing which
it is desirable to see and can look directly at
and listen attentively to one who is speaking,
to the exclusion of all else, shows an unmistakable
mark of the highest breeding.
The Terms Men and Women.
A singular change in tbe use of the orda
men and women has come about
within the last fifty years. In the middle of
the present century it was common to speak
of a man's wife as "his lady." To-day such a
use of the word would be regarded by many
as an insult.
Neither the word gentleman nor lady is
used as frequently as formerly. 11 used to be
common for a young girl to speak of Ler
male friends ss gentlemen. Now. .she would
say a man had called on her, or four men
were presented to her during the evening.
One is more likely to hear his barber spoken
of as the gentleman who shaves him than
hear the president of the United States called
the gentleman who occupies the Wkite House.
It would be the man who is president.
The terms gentleman and lady were
originally used to designate a class in England
with special privileges-. There is no distinction
in class in the United States, and people
are all men and women alike.
Answers to Invitations.
It may be laid down as a rule that any invitation
requires an answer, however etiquette
changes the method of reply, or at
least tie acknowledgment of an attention.
Invitations to parties, dinners and the like
always require a reply, even if one is not
asked for. An invitation to dinner should
receive a reply at once, that the host may
have ample time to till the place if the invitation
declined. And the guest should arrive
exactly on time: not too late because the
dinner should not be kept waiting: not too
early, since the host or hostess may dfcsire to
superintend the arrangement of the table,
and might not be ready to receive guests. Invitations
to receptions do not need a reply if
the invitation is accepted. If it is not accept
ed a card sbouid tie sent with regrets.
The Polite Boy.
A boy who is polite to his father and
mother is likely to be polite to everybody
else. A boy lacking politeness to his paren ts
may have the semblance of courtcsy in society,
but is never truly polite in spirit. As
lie becomes familiar he will betray his real
want of courtesy in spite of all his attempt*
not to.
Swallowed Carbolic Acid.
Robert J. Watson, a brother of Supervisor
Thomas B. Watson, of Brooklyn,
committed suicide yesterday by taking an
ounce of carbolic acid. Mr. Watson was a
well to-do plasterer, and lived at No. 12
Butler street. He had been acting strange
ly for a "week or ten days. Yesterday ne
propose'.! to his wife, "who is not in good
health, that they should visit some friends
in a distant part of the city. At 1 o'clock
he said he .would go out and get a $10 bill
changed, so he would have car fare handy.
He went to Dennin's drug store, at the
corner of Court stree' and First place, and
purchased a two ounce bottle of early)!ic
acid.
