Prairies Fired by Lightning.
x A "bolt of lightning set fire to the dry
prairie grass in Hodgeman Connty,
Kansas, a few days ago. A heavy elecf
trie storm came up and the heavens
were ablaze with lightning. The
country was as dry as tinder, and a
?ea of dry prairie grass extended for
miles. The lightning struck the earth,
boring a hole in the ground six feet
deep, and setting the grass on fire.
There was a hiph wind, and before the
q rain, which followed, could extinguish
the fire it completely devastated a tract
of country five miles wide by ten long,
destroying fences, barns and farmhouses.
The occupants of the houses
* !- 1

refuge in their "cyclone pits," which
are dug out in the earth and covered
with dirt. A large number of horses

Gentlemen:?"I desire to tell you just how 1
was, so that the public may know of your
wonderful Swamp-Root. Two years ago
last October I had spells of vomiting; I could

blood, and at one time as much as three pints;
we had two of the best Physicians and they

were terrible." A neighbor told us of youi
Swamp-Root, and my husband got a bottle; 1

Individuals and Firms Manage tho

Against Robbery.
IN a report just published by the
State Department,Samuel Gracey,
United States Consul at Foochoo,
China, tells how the mail is carried
in the "flowery kingdom." China
has not yet established Government
p'ostoffices or a postal system for the
masses of the people, with all her
adoption of modern ways, but private
enterprise is depended upon to render
communication easy between various
.parts of the Empire. This private
transmission of mail is conducted
L through what is called "letter shops."
No stamps are used, but the "chop"
or sign of the keeper of the "letter
0 shop" is always placed upon the enf
velope.
In this country when the Government
wishes to send a communication

? "official" or "public?free" and it
ve goes through the mail as other letters
:h- except that no postage is paid. In
he China imperial edicts and other offien
cial communications are carried from
ag city to city and province to province
p, by couriers. Generally they make the
re- trip afoot, but in case of great haste
he they are provided with horses at conad
venient relay stations. Official letters
irt or dispatches are thus conveyed in
is cases of emergency 200 or 250 miles a
day. In districts where transmission
ch of official comnmnications is frequent
it, each station master is required to keep
irs on hand from ten to twenty horses or
r- donkeys, and the local representative
ih- of the Government is held responsible
lis for all delays that occur. These official
he couriers, who correspond to our star
to route mail carriere, are not allowed to
th carry private dispatches or letters,
their operations being restricted to the
ve transmission of Government communion
cations.

A.n only, but in the interior, or at places
ch not reached by the foreign poetal arQg
rangement, they are employed by
' - -- -- _-ii at v
an loreigners as wen, muugu uuichj uj

letters and parcels to be sent may be

, Before a letter is mailed or delivered
to the carrier its contents are digest
P^yed, and the keeper of the letter
|re shop then seals it and affixes his

w origin may be determined. Parcels

broken. In some parts of the empire,
jg the Consul saye, about two-thirds of
.^,a the expense of transmission is paid by

|e In some of the larger cities and
Qf towns the letter shops are numerous,
;o_ but in many remote villages there are
ry none. In Shanghai there are nearly
e(j t*o hundred. Some of the shops emr(j

jn northern provinces the shopkeepers
imitate the Government and employ a

or donkeys are used, the relays being
r about ten miles apart. Each carrier
jn or messenger is intrusted with seventy
0f or eighty pounds of mail matter, and
<s travels about five miles an hour?much
slower than the Government carriers.
For short distances and in central and
southern China the messenger travels
on foot at a rapid gait. When the
messenger arrives at a station he hands
3d over the mail to a fresh carrier. "He
starts at once," says Consul Gracey,
"no matter what may be the hour of
the day or night, and regardless of
winds, rain, heat or cold, he continues
the journey until he, too, has com"

^ This ''pony express," like that
W which was in use across the Western
plains of the United States forty years
ago, is sometimes subject to interruption
by highwaymen, but the
Chinese have a way of compounding
such villainy and thus protecting their
postal service. The robber bands of
each district collect blackmail from
the shopkeeper*, and for regular sums
paid they not only do not molest the
messengers themselves, but they
agree to keep other marauders from
doing so. Large firms engaged in the
carrying business and in transporting
travelers by carts between given points
nre in the habit of contracting with
the brigands for the safe passage of
