Dishonest Postal Clerks. "It id because one niau thinks him self a tri fie smarter than another that makes his thoughts run into dishonest channels," said an old po6toffico in spector. "I can acount for the fre quent arrest in al! parts of the coun try of employes of the postal service, especially clerks in tho postoffioei? and letter carriers, only upon this hypoth esis, and that there is sn inherent streak in his composition of dishon esty, because he knows better than the public that once we get after pos tal thieves we never stop until we land them in jail. And still they go on all over the land pilfering from let ters, believing themselves safe. It j must jar some of them when they tum- I ble into the trap we set. "It is a matter of corresponding in terest to remember that, as theso dis honest clerks well knew, thc trap whioh places the mauaoles around their wrists is thc same old trap, like thc same old bear trap, reliable and certain io hold faBt once it is sprung, only it catches their pilfering hand instead of their feet. It is the decoy letter which the postal thief quickly and slyly picks up and secretes about his person or elsewhere, and once it is in his hand the trap is sprung, the hand of the inspector on the case closes about his wrist, and Lc^walksto the station house to ruminate how easily he was caught once the inspec tor decided upon the man of the force who was guilty among the honest. "Now, since every postal employe in the United States knows that once the officials are suspicious of theft along his route or postal car run, that the inspectors lay all sorts of trapB for him behind the bars, why will they steal money letters with appre hension practically inevitable? Be cause human nature is the same in all callings, and thc postal employee is cast in no different mould than the rest of UH; it is enly his environment. Yes, they know instantly, instinct ively, whether a letter contains mon ey, as a bank teller can tell by the feeling of a bill before he looks at it that it is a counterfeit. We know this, too, and that is the reason why we fish for them with the decoy letter, and land them, thus safe-guarding the the public and the department from loss. "Thedeooy letter looks no different from any other letter, and it feels just tho same to tho dishonest hand of tho postal thief as any letter containing money. We usually place three to five marked ?1 bills in the envelope. The instant the fingers of the dishon est man 'strips' along tho envelope he knows that it-contains money, and he will steal it if he can. His eagerness and disinclination to let any letter with money go by him enable us to catch him when we learn to a certainty the route upon which money letters are stolen. "Some employes are very foxy, and go on a long time before they are de tected. They often try to place the guilt upon an innocent carrier \T> rbis way. In making up their routes, and getting their mail from the distribut ing tables, they handle the mail be longing to the other carriers, li is an easy thing to detect money ietters io the other fellow's lot, and include them in their own, tobe purloinncd at leisure and suitable opportunity. "Suspicion naturally falls upon the innocent carrier and he is placed under secret surveillance. Decoy letters aro mailed, and by other means it is endeavored to fix the guilt upon him. If our usual methods fail, we too, be come suspicious that an innocent man is being 'worked.' We drop him nnd try to locate the actual thief, and it is not long I cf ore we have him in jail. Sometimes two dishonest employes will work together, but as si rule pos tal thieves ure like the lune highway man and prefer to go it alone. "Von see, the dishonest employe foolishly believes that he can beat the game, and au arrest in a large office only has a temporary deterrent effect Blood. W c live by our blood, and on it. Wc thrive or starve, as our blood is rich or poor. There is nothing else to live on or by. When strength is full and spirits high, we are being re freshed, bone muscle and brain, in body and mind, with con tinual flow of rich blood. This is health. When weak, in low spirits, no cheer, no spring, when rest is not rest and sleep is not sleep, we are starved ; our blood is poor ; there is little nutri ment in it. Back of the blood, is food, to keep the blood rich. When it fails, take Scott's Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil. It sets the whole body going again-man woman and child.

It is a singular but tru<; official fact that once a man begins to steal money letters he seldom voluntarily quits, and we have had men confess that they had been in this nefarious business for years and would have re mained at it as long as they were ia the service but for their arrest. It ?B an easy way to make money for the time being to the clerk or carrier whose salary does not meet his ex penses. Ile becomes emboldened by the confidence in his cleverness to se crete the money letters, forgetful that with each report or theft the efforts of the inspectors are redoubled to catch i * j him, and the closer arc drawn the meshes of the net slowly but surely being entwined around him. Very often the guilty man is positively known to the inspectors for months before they can catch him redhanded, the thief in the meantime believing himself undetected."-Washington ??v6ui?g Star. trna ? mm Fell From a Balloon. Tallapoosa, Ga., May 14.-Meredith Howe, an aeronaut, in making a bal loon ascension here late yesterday af ternoon, fell from a height of a hun dred feet and was almost instantly killed. The World's Fair Amusement Com pany, with a dozen or more tents, had just opened for a week's entertain ment. The Clowning spectacle of the first day's performance was to be a bal loon ascension and parachute leap, and by the time young Rowe was ready to make his ascension there was hundreds of people crowding the vi cinity. It was already growing dark when the word was given to cast loose. The big balloon was the cynosure of every eye as it swung majestically upward, with the daring young aeronaut sus pended from a crossbar beneath, thc folded parachute dangling beneath him. A long breath -came from hundreds of mouths as the big balloon swept up ward, only to be succeeded by another and moro awe-stricken moment of ex citement, f'?r as the gray sphere reach ed tho height of about 100 feet it sud denly collapsed. The crowd shuddered. A feeling of horror swept over them as, as with one wild cry, the unfortunate aerouaut came falling to the earth, together with a gray mass of the torn balloon, the net work <of ropes end the flapping parachute. There was a sound of a heavily striking body and all was silent, save for the sudden weeping of many wo men. Children clung to their moth ers' skirts. Men turned their faces away in horror, fearful of looking upon the sight that they knew awaited them. As quiokly as possible medical aid was summoned, but it was already seen to be unavailing. Young Bowe never spoke a word, but died within a half hour of his fall. His neck was broken, his back was a mass of bruises. Hardly a whole bonn remained in his body. From the show management it waa learned that the young man was only 19 years of age, although he had made many balloon ascensions, and was re garded as one of the most successful and daring men in his profession. His home is in Evansville, Ind., where his mother and brother still live. The body will bo shipped there this after noon. The efcose for the accident is ascribed to the age of the balloon. It had been in use for a long time, although nobody dreamed it had become dangerously weak. ' Tho accident created the wildest ex citement, and little else was talked about last night and to-day. Thc scene is described as one of the most horrible ever witnessed, more espe cially so on account of the frightful conditiuu of the body after striking the earth. As Viewed hy the Departing Prisoner. Tlie Kev. Samuel S. Searing, chap iain of the house of ?orreetion, South Boston, frequently has amusing ex periences with the prisoners who come under his care, lie is required by law to have an interview with every niau whose time has expired and who is about to leave the house, lt is the chaplain's duty to give the departing prisoner good advice and to exhort him to be a decent and honorable man in the future. In the course of one of these inter views the chaplain said: "Now, my friend, I hope you'll never have to come back to a place like this." The prisoner looked at him thought fully and then asked: 4,I say, chap lain, you draw a salary hero, don't you?" When Mr. Searing replied in the affirmative, the prisoner remarked: "Well, say, if me and the other fel lows didn't keep coming back, you'd be out of a job."-Boston Herald. - "Bliggins says he believes that success depends on paying attention t> thc little things." "Yes," answer ed Miss Cayenne, "I have noticed that he attracts a great deal of atten tion to his own opinions." Au Unusual Fee. After a large wedding in Washing ton thc "best man" started at hardly an hour's notice for South Africa. On his return to Washington, after an ab sence of some eighteen months, he re ceived the warmest sort of welcome from his old associates. A dinner given in his honor afforded the first occasion since the wedding for don ning evening dress, and in the midst of the evening, having occasion to feel in his waistcoat pocket for some thing, he electrified the party by draw ing Torth a $100 bank note. Where had it come from? Who had put it there? His fellow guests bad all sorts of suggestions to offer, none of which seemed satisfac tory. Eariy the next morning the truth flashed across bis mind. He called upon the clergyman who had perform ed the marriage ceremony. "You remember the fact, I sup pose," said the visitor, of marrying Mr. H- and Miss G- about a year and a half ago?" "Oh, very well," answered thecler gyman. "I Bee them constantly. They attend my church." "Then I hope you will pardon a rather delicate question asked iu strict confidence. How much did you receive as your fee on that occasion?" "I will return frankness with frank ness," and the clergyman smiled whimsically. "It was the strangest fee that ever came my way. After the ceremony the best man, with a profu sion of thanks, slipped into my hand a small silver of plug tobacco wrapped in a wad of paraffin paper!"-Harper's Magazine. Judgment of a Solomon. In a small town in one of the cen tral counties of the State lives an elderly German who, because of the esteem in w^hich he is held in the com munity, has been elected justice of the peace. The old gentleman was reoently called upon to decide a most perplexing question. One of his neighbors is the posses sor of a dog. The dog, although not actually vicious, delights in running out of the gate and barking savagely at passers-by. This has been the source of great annoyance to the neighbors, especially to one, who vow ed to get even with "the pesky crit ter." Recently his neighbor was re turning from a trip,' gun in hand. He was set upon by the dog, whereupon bc raised his weapon and fired at the brute. His aim was not very good and thc dog ran yelping, minus his caudal appendage. The owner of the dog had his neigh bor hauled before the old justice on a charge of cruelty to animals, and the courtroom was crowded with the par tisans of both men. The justice heard the charge, and then the defense that the dog was a dangerous animal and a menace to the neighborhood. The old German thereupon oleared his throat and delivered the dictum: "Der man-he has been guilty of gruelty to animals." And one side of thd courtroom applauded the justice o' the d?cision. "But ter tog-he was a vicious tog." And the other side voiced its approval. "I ^ill tiue der mau fife tollars." Another murmur in the courtroom. "But I viii gife him anodder shot at ter tog." And both sides cheered. New York Times. Liked Obituaries. "Congressmen receive some pretty odd requests some times," said Rep resentative Cornelius A. Pugsley of tho Sixteenth district, at a recent din ner of the Sous of the American Rev olution. "Ofteu they arc jual amus ing. "Not ioug ago one of my ardent supporters wrote to me at Washing ton, asking me to -end him a volume of all the obituary resolutions and speeches malle iu Congress siuce the first session. "Of course. I answered him that such a record had not been printed; but my curiosity had been aroused, so I asked him also why he made such un odd request. This is thc . >ply that I got: " 'If there is one thing more than another that 1 enjoy it is reading the obituaries of dead Congressmen.' "And ho is one of my constitu ents!" said Congressman Pugsley.

Many youug tuen, beginning a busi ness career for themselves, make the mistake of supposing that financial credit is based wholly upon property or capital. They do not understand that character and reliability, com bined with aptitude for one's business and a disposition to work hard, are far more important assets to have than millions of dollars. The young fellow who begins by sweeping out the store, and who finally becomes a olerk, man ager or superintendent by his energy and reliability of character, does not usually find it difficult to secure cred it to start in business for himself. On the other hand, jobbing houses ] are not inclined to advance credit to j the man who, though he may have in herited a fortune, has shown no capac ity for business, and is of doubtful character. The young meo who start for them selves on a small scale are more ener getic, work harder, are more alert, are quicker to appreciate thc chances of the market, and are more polite and willing than those with the large capital. The credit men io jobbing houses are very quick, as a rule to see the successful qualities in prospective buyer-, and Beldom make a mistake in their estimate of what credit it is safe to extend.

It might bo supposed that so long as cotton remains the staple in Dixie one feature at least of antebellum daya the darky ootton picker-must sur vive. But even this tuneful and jovial, if hard-driven, relic of the past, it appears, must go. A ootton-picking machine has been put on the market, after ten years of experimenting and adjusting, and a contract has just been closed through which the new machinery will be put in operation in Mississippi on a large scale on a Washington County planta tion next fall. The inventor of the machine admits that it can be used to advantage only on the level uplands, low valleys and prairie grounds, but success, which seems reasonably as sured, within these limitations, will revolutionize the cotton-picking indus try in the South. The inventor, it is needless to say, is a Yankee. Thus one Yankee, Whitney, devised the cotton gin, which helped fill the Southern plantations with negroes by making their labor enormously profit able; now another Yankee oomes for ward with a contrivance which bids fair to reverse the process.-Milwaukee Sentinel. - The discovery of an old Bible in the barn loft of Sarah Scarskading, in Hurron county, Iowa, will be sufficient j t"> establish the rights of the heirs to j the Leonard Case millions.

Jacksonville's Fire Burned a Year. While the tire which started on May 3, l'JUi, and devastated the city was under control within seven hours, yet it has been burning for the past 365 days. J. H. Hooker, William Baker and a reporter went to the ruins of the old Mohawk block, and with a shovel dug off the top of the pile of broken brick and mortar. Three or four inches from the top the place was warm and smoke was seen to oome from the hole dug. Digging still deeper each shovel ful became hotter and hotter sa it was taken out. Digging a little deeper, red coals were found, and ss soon as the breeze fanned it it biased. The fire department was notified and a stream of water was turned on. Thus it was that one year after the commencing of a fire the department is called upon to put it out. This place has blazed up several times since the day of the fire, and the last time, nbout- five months ago, the de partment soaked it thoroughly with water. A quantity of grain had been stored on the site where the digging took place yesterday, and it was this grain that has been smouldering all this time. A consider?le crowd of people gath ered around the place yesterday, and were astonished at thc fact of the fire burning so long, and remarked that all records were broken as to thc length in time of burning of a fire by the one in Jacksonville which burned a whole year.-Florida Times-Union and Cit izen.
