Sucoessful Escape From Prison.
FTere a atory of a successful ee
>e from prison. It wet effected
m Dartmoor, England, by one of T
? old prisoners of war. Many of
mo men were clever artisans, and
S

in building. Once a rectory

I they adopted a very clover expe?nt
for the escape of one of their ^
ruber. They had reached that part

inner recess was left large enough b
hold a man standing upright. The ti
ter face of the flue was continued n

I been gained the strong work was ii
limed ; the flue was made the proper t
eknesB, and the stones rendered in h
od mortar. Care was taken to leave r
and eyelet holes for breathing and f<
servation in the six leet of thin p

jitive entered the flue, and took up
i quarters in tho above-mentioned p
ess, while his comrades, went on 'I
th their work above. They worked a
well and with so much skill that s
jy were particularly commended by s
?ir foreman, who complimented them n
?hly on the excellent face put upon *i
* flue. The man in hiding was not e
ssed until after the party had left B
rk ; but bis absence was discovered d
evening roll call. A thorough s
irch was then made of the reotory a

rface of the walls negatived all idea o
a practicable hiding place. A nnm- li

nightfall the convict easily broke o
rough the thin facing and made good a

He Would Sell Himsell tor His Family. R
A most extraordinary incident, in- ^
ative, no doubt, of the desperate
ite of mind to which many have j
en reduced by tho prevailing hard 0
lies, occurred at Emergency Hob- v
tal. A man about forty-five years r
age called at the hospital and asked r
see the superintendent or physician r
charge. When that functionary ?
s called and inquired the stranger's r
siness, the man said :
"My name is Albert Htoner. I am
>ainter by trade, and have a family ?
pendent on me at Flint. 1 have been ^
t of work for a long time, though I H
ve sought it constantly and done [
ything and everything that was of- ?
ed to me, which was very little. t
f family are now reduced to very f
aitenod circumstances, and I want ,,
sell you my body for 825 for dis .
ting purpose*." 11
Fho doctor was astonished at the t]
velty of the proposition, and said r
:etioiudy that the hospital might <i
ve to wait a good while before the
ods were delivered. ?
"Not at all," replied Mr. Htoner. a
list HHHomi an I find that the money
a reached my family I will commit i
icide and leave an order that my 1
dy be given to yon." -i
If the doctor had been astonished ii
fore, he waa much more so at the i
it remark of Mr. Htoner, and began ?
auapect that he was dealing with a t
initio. Hut though he applied the r
ual tests in the long conversation '
nch followed, he was unable to de- '
d the slightest ablieration of mind, 1
cept that Mr. Htoner had brooded "
long over his inability to provide "
i family with the necessities of life
at he had become desperate, and had '

omr of Thetn Hnv? to Stand fiord
Usage?How the Damaged
Bags A rf Patched and
Mfndfd.
THE coat of ono two-bushel bag
is trifling and its carrying
capacity is not extensive, still
when you put 13,000,00(1 of
itch bags together, the pile so created
ecomes mountainous. Such a moun?in
was required to represent the
umber of mail bags, pouches and
teks used last year by the United
tates PostofticeDepartment to handle
he business of the 68,403 postoftices
it this country. Sixty per cent, of
hese 13,000,000 receptacles were used
y 68,402 postofhces, while the single
emaining office on the list required
orty per cent., or 5,200,000 of the
ouches and sacks. This single office
t at New York Oity.
All bags used by the postoftlce deartment
are not two-bushel bags,
'here are a variety of sizes and they
re designated as leather pouches (five
izes), through register pouches (three
izes), catcher pouches (one size), horse
isil bags (three sizes), jute canvas
Rcks (three sizes), United Htates forign
register sacks (four sizes), United
dates foreign canvas sacks (four sizes),
omestic inner register sacks (four
izes), one size of cotton canvas sacks,

f each kind of Back does a certain kind
f service, and wherever any sack may
ie doing duty at any time, the mail
quipment division of the postoftice
epartment at Washington can locate
1.
As these sacks are made of leather,
r fabrics of cotton or jute, they will rip
nd tear under certain conditions, and
s they are dragged over Honrs of stone,
ron or wood at times, to be pitched
nto wagons or cars, or to be tossed
ipon rocks or hard frozen ground ocasionally,
these injurious conditions
re frequently present. This is paricularly
the case with the catcher
touches, which, thrown off from and
aken aboard of trains, traveling fifty
>r sixty miles an hour, get unusually
lard knocks. Thus, it is no trifling
natter to look after the welfare of the
nail bags of the country, and for this
eaaon theOoverument has established
mi coniiucis in<> man-nag ami lock
epair shop in Washington.
Poatm asters throughout the country
re instructed to prevent, daily, anj
nrpliih mnil ting or lock, in good con
lition, from lying idle, by shipping
uch oxcew of supplies to the ware
louse and shop at Washington. They
re also notified that it in not lawful
o use nny such hag as b convenience
or the Htoring of records or the reopt
ion of waste paper or for any pur
>oac not legitimately under the head
if the transportation of nails, and,
inally, when any bag ahowa the slightest
ip or tear, >>r when any lock is bent
nit of shape, or, for any reason fails
o work easily and securely, those artiIoh
must be at once ship|ted to the
hop.
For this reason the shop in question
s a very busy and interesting place.
t is in a five story building, at Noa7'.i
ami 4#l (! street, N. W.. and it is
>0x140 feet in size. From 12,000 to
5,000 mail bags are received each day
it the repair shop, and as you enter
he lower floor where the receiving
ilcrk and his assistants perform their
luties, you see one single apartment
Itty feet wide by 1 40 feet deep, which
s occupied by tiers of empty bags,
woks and pouches, neatly piled ten
md twelve feet high, and looking quite
ike a storeroom for the exhibition of
?olt* of jute and cotton fabrics and
rariotia qualities of leather.
The inspectors pack the damaged
>ags in lots of ten, taking Ave badly
lamaged and Ave slightly damaged for
>acli lot, the h-ather bags, the jute
>ags and the canvas bags being kept
leparate. From the inspectors these
ots are distributed to the repairing
(apartment, the leather bags going to
he leather workers aud the other ones
pving to those who work on jute or
anvas. By the operation of this
lystem, it will be seen, there csn be
10 favoritism in the distribution of
vork ea<?h workman gets five badly
lamaged and five slightly damaged
>ags to work upon.- All repairing is
lone by piece work. There are 104
somen employed in the repairing of
lute and canvas bags, and they receive
three aud one-half cents per bag.
They work eight hours a day, and earn
Trom 91 to 91 2f? a day. An interest
ug fact connected with the dnties of

daily between noon and half-pant

oflee, milk and sugar they may desire,
w? an accompaniment to the luuchea
hey bring. Thoeo supplies?and they
ire of the very l?est finality?are ohlained
by money received from the
tale of ptuk accumulations at the shop.
The hopelessly damaged sacks are
>nly hopeless in a certain sense. They
mnnot he repaired, and retain their
identity, hut they are of service. Af
U-r heitig sorted aocording to the material
of which they are made, they
ire sen* to the foreman of the leather
ihop, snd the shop where jnte and
auvaa hags nre repaired. There they
are ins}>ect?d for salvage. The top of
one bag in found to eke out a perfect
beg by the aid of a bottom from a
aecoud bag, one side from another end
a second side from a fourth bag. 80
expert are these foremen in fitting
salvage bits together in almost innumerable
combinations that a very
large majority of the material from
hopelessly damaged bags is utilized in
the production of combination bags
as good as new.
This mending of leather bags Is performed
entirelv bv men who are experienced
workers, men who are competent
harness, saddle and beltmakers
thoroughly acquainted with the quality
of leather and the cutting of it, and
who know all there is to know about
stitching ami Tiveting thereof. These
men work eight hours a day, earning
from 815 to 818 a week.
Perhaps the most interesting feature
of the entire establishment is the lock
repairing shop, a department so complete
in all its resources that, ahould
occasion require, it would be possible
to make any portion of nnv lock in
use by the postoflice department. Tho
full value of the establishment, as to
its efficacy, may be better understood
by tho following: In the mail-bag
lock now in use there are twenty-two
different pieces, the production of
which requires fifty separate operations,
and in the letter boxea uaed
there are twenly pieces, needing proportionately
as many operations for
their production. As an adjunct to
this department there is an admirably
equipped midline shop with lathes,
shapers, milling niadiines, planers,
drill presses, slotting machines,
benches and machinists sufficient to
do any sort of work needed. ?Detroit 1

How London's Expenses are Borne.
In England and France the injustice
of compelling the inhabitants of the
capital, where the seat of Government
in located, to bear its entire expense,
in clearly recognized, and Ruhntantial
aid given. To ascertain the full amount
of the coat of governing the city of
Loudon in diftiiW/lt. The division of
the expense between the municipality
anil the Government is so interwoven
as to make separation well nigh impossible.
We may, however, reach an ap
proximate idea of the amount by st.iting
the several things which are cared
for by the Htate and paid for out of
the National treasury. The metropolitan
police supported by the Government
musters 15,035 officers and men,
and is divided into twenty-two divis
ions, of which one division doe* duty
on the river Theme*, end five divisions
cere for the dock yards; the pay of
the eix divieioite thue assigned being
peid out of the epproprietion for the
nevy. The chief receives the sum of
$10,500 per ennum, more then the
general commending the United Bteten
Army, end es much as the Chief Justice
of the Supreme Court of the United
States. He has several assist ants, two
of whom receive $0000 apiece; the
men receive about $500 per annum.
There are fifteen police court stations
supported by the Government. The
Lord Mayor holds court in one. The
judges in each of the others receive
about $7500 per annum. The tire bri
glide is largely supported by the State,
and cost, in 18'.l'2, ?155,5*20, equal to
alMiut $750,000. of which amount the
insurance companies contributed ?32,063.
There are a great many tine
parks in London, some kept by the
city and others by the State. The
Itoyal l'ark cost ?00,043. The Government
collects trom the people a tax
known as the local rato (a large part
of which goes to Loudon). In '0*2 it
amounted to ?7,507,565, nearly $4'?, 000,000.
The cost of governing the
city of London is about ?38,000,000
a year. Of this amount the Government
subvention, as it is called,
amounted to about $0,000,000, although
the Rritish Government does
not own one-half of the laud in Lou
don, as is the case with the Federal
Government in Washington.?Washington

The t.owest Depression.
Mr. Momiiouie reported to have said
that the bottom of the valley in the
lowest depression on the Perth's surface.
This is not strictly corroct. The
lowest levels obtained in Death's Valley
are about 430 feet below the sea,
whereas the surface of the Dead Hea in
Palestiue is 1300 feet below. But the
hole which goes by the name of Death
Valley is pretty deep. The crust of the
earth throughout the valley of Ban
Beruandino aud Inyo Counties must
be very thin. The traveler's feet are
separated from the internal body of
everlasting tire by a slim sheet of earth
and rocV, which would offer but a slight
resistance to seismic force. A few
miles distant from Death Valley there
is a region which may be surveyed by
the eve, and which contains a thousand
active volcanoes?small of their
kind, to be sure, baby volcanoes, so to
speak, but still actively engaged in
throwing up mud aud water. And not
many miles nwav is the range of granite
mountains, nmong which Mount
Whitney rears its head through the
clouds; solid masses of primeval rock
which must have worn the shape in
which we see theui now when the plain
at their feet was a seething, raging
caldron in which tire and water contended
for the mastery.
To see such marvelsof nature people
cross oceans, spend fortunes ami carry
their lives in their hand. Neither '

Many time* women call on thoir family
physicians, suffering, n? they imagine, ono
from dyspepsia, another from heaw, disease,
another from liver or kidney disease, another
from nervous exhaustion, or prostration,
another with pain hero and there, and in
this war they ail present, aliko to themselves
and their easy-going and indifferent, or overbusy
doctor, separate and distinct diseases,
for which he prescribe* his pills and potions,
assuming them to be such, when, in reality,
then are all only symptoms caused by somo
womb disorder. Toe physician, ignorant of
thecausoof suffering, eneouragc3 his practice
until largo bills aro made. The suffering
patient gets no better, but probably worse
r>y rrason of the delay, wrong treatment and
consequent complications. A proper medicine,
like Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription,
directed to the cause would havo entirely
removed the disease, thereby dispelling all
those distressing symptoms and instituting
comfort instead of prolonged misery.
i no iiuiv whow p?rtrait beads this artiolo
is Mrs Id* Coventry, of Huntsvtlle, Logan
County. Ohio. Hhe had an experience which
we will permit her to tolato in her own
language. It illustrates the foregoing. She
writes: ' I had 'female weakness1 very
bad- in bed most of tho time, dragging
down naitis through my lack and hips ; no
appetite; no energy Tlio family physician
was treating me for 'liver complaint'. I
did not get any better under that treatment
so 1 thought I would try l)r. Pierce's Favorite
PrescriDtion and hla ' Golden Medical Discovery.
1 felt better before I used one
bottle of each. I continued their use until I
took six bottles of each In three months'
time I felt ao well I did not think it necessary
to take any more In childbirth it does
what Dr. Pierce recommends it to do lessens
the pain and perils to both mother
and child and shortens ' labor'. I would like
to recommend Dr. Plerce'a Extract of HmartWeed
to those who have never tried it ; it
surely is the best thing for cholera morbus,
or pain in the stomach 1 ever used . it workf
Uke a charm I try never to be without it "
The following Is from Mrs Harriet Hards,
of Montoeiisr, Idaho : " I have enjoyed letter
health since I began treatment with Dr
Machine Kingers anil Thumbs.
J What is there that machinery cannot
ilo? Tho Dwight Machine Company
of Connectieul has just completeil two
machines capable of counting Rinl binding
in packs ftOO.OlM) postal cards in
en hours. The postal cards are printed
ami cut by another machine, but t)iim
one counts them, and inakcH them into
packs of twenty-five each. The most
ingenious parts of the mac hine are the
fingers ami thumbs, so to speak, used
in wrapping the narrow strip of paper
around each pack. The paper is pulled
off the reel by two long, slender fingers
that come up front underneath;
another finger dips itself into the box
of mueilage and daubs the end of another
finger which in turn applies the
mneilege to the narrow strip of paper
at just the right spot. The strip is
wrapped about the pack of cards, a
thumb comes up and presses the muci,
lage part down hard, and the thing is
done.?Buffalo Commercial.
