They can never tell when they are being watched or bow* AH new postoffice buildings are constructed wi h peep-holes express? ly for this purpose.

Not merely old bills can be thus smelled ?ut, bu? new ones likewise. Simply a keen sense well trained is required. Men in the Bureau of Engraving and Printing Bay that they can smell oar nev Botes in envelopes every time. The/method of d<: tee ting paper currency by ?eel is famil ar enough, as is also that of drawing it thread.with a knot on the va? bf it, by the help of a needle, through ar letter, the knot fetching with it sonic.of the fibre of the enclosed bill. Que, of the most remarkable post office -xabbe ries on record occurred at Miirne&poT?S? - in Joly, 1886. The thieves entered through the stamp win? dow ai night:, closing the shatter behind them. Then they proceeded to break Into the.safe in which the stamps were kept, performing the task with a dia? mond drrll so cleverly that men working ekce by the building did not hear them Ia front of the safe was a large plate glass window, ba ? the cold had covered it w&iPfrest, sb ihat no one conld see through it. .The burglars secured 600,000 two cent stamps and 200,000 ooe*?ceut stamps, besides some money, the- whole amounting to the value of over-, $14.000 They tried to dispose of their booty through oilier persons who acted as "fences," and in this way they^ w'ere;caught at Chicago, $4,078 worth of stamps being recovered. h -- -?-.Lifting an Elephant London has be^n entertained lately by featg, of strength mat are certainly remarf?>Tean?*probably unsurpassed In modern times.

His appearance presents little that is unusual in the way of muscular de relopment, and his biceps are neither very large nor wonderfully rigid.

A Monster Weapon. The new Woodbridge gun which is intended to be capable of throwing a projectile weighing a quarter of a too a distance of twelve to fifteen miles, and which is bern g constructed at the arsenal at Watertown, wi 1 be completed in about four months. At prcseut the gun is little nore thaa a steel tube 27 i feet long, the diameter being 11? inches The interior eventually will be bored to 12J inehe?. The specialty of the Woodbridge gon consists in the wire wrapping. Around the steel tobe. v. inch it? made of hard rolled steel, are placed ?trips of steel like barrel staves, and around these miles of steel wire are wrapped. The sree! staves are pat in to eqaaliae the pressure caused by the light wrappiDg os tie wire. The wire is 15-100 of an iocii square, and it is capable of bearing a tension of 200.000 I pouods to the pquare iccb. The wrap- | r ping of the ?ire op- n the tube is done c by a special wielding machine, so as to ' ^ pat the wire on at a great strain.

The following paragraphs,-taken fron? the Chicago Daily News of recent date, endeavor to show something of the val ne of honey as an article of diet and remedial agent: Bat" few people are cognizant cf the benefits to be derived from a moderate ase of honey as food. Saccharine mat? ter, as a rale, is apfto affect the system injuriously, bat iif taken in the form of boney, ~it at once becomes a valuable food and medicine. Instead of having it given to u? in combination with balk foods, as in the cane and beet, ;t is, in the case of honey, mingled with fruit juices derived from flowers highly charged with medicinal properties. Honey taken as food becomes a powerful medicine to the sugar-fed and half diseased, and many people must begin on small quantities and acquire an appetite for it. Foul air, improper ventilation, coal gas and sudden changes of temperature, and exposure of Idngs and throats to sudden chill are the soiree, of .no : ead to throat and broachial troubles. A free, regular and constant use of honey is probably the best medicine for throat troubles known, and tts regular use is largely corrective. There is no? a word in the platform of the People's Party about the pensions of Union soldiers. A plank in regard to this matter was fraudulently inserted by some newspapers.- Sumter Free? man, But the same body, however, that adopted the platform adopted a resolu? tion about the pensions of Union sol? diers. The resolution may have been printed in the platform by mistake. Newberry Observer. The Register says "wbeu Guvernor Tillman was begging for a primary this same faction opposed such a decision." The demand for s primary is not by any means confined to "this same fac? tion"-it is a demand that includes practically the whole up-county, whether "Tillmanites" or "Antis." The de? mand is based on their sense of right and their conviction that every Demo? crat ought to have the privilege of voting directly for State officers, as he does for other officers. Wonder if Governor Tillman would take the ground that what was right when he was *'begging for it" is wrong when other 8 are asking for it ? Or would he contend that two wrongs made one right ?-Newberry Observer. A Queer Case. A case involving the liability of a railroad company for an injury to an unborn child was receotly decided in the Irish Court of Queen's Bench. The Great Northern Railroad ruos be? tween Armagh and Warren Point, in the county of Downs, in Ireland. In June, 1889, it carried as a pasteo ger Annie Walker, who was injured by an accident resulting from the alleged neg? ligence of the company. Mrs. Walker brought suit agaicst the company, and a certain sara was paid her in- settle? ment of her claim. It appears that at thc time of the ac? cident Mrs. Walker was with child, and this child was afterwards born, but in a crippled and deformed condition, wbicb will b& lifelong. He sued the company by bia representatives, and the ouestion of his right to recover was debated with much thoroughness. There are many loose statements in the English law as to how far an unborn child is regarded as in being. The judges decide chat the plaintiff cannot recover, but differ in th reasons for the decision, and the questiou cannot be regarded as fully settled iu English courts. Cure for Obesity. A stout man who wished to reduce his weight, began by collecting pam? phlets offered by firms that advertise cures for obesity. He was much struck by the fact that all agreed in one partic? ular. While each firm advised thc regular taking of its particular cure, and several said, ''Others are useless or worse," all insisted that a great deal of exercise and a peculiar diet^mast be taken with the medicine. About six months afterward, the pamphlet collector, now no longer a fat ?an. entered a drug store. .i'tu entirely obliged to you," he jaid to the proprietor. "How's that, sir ?" ?,Six mouths ago I weighed 227 pounds. Now I weigh ouly 180." *? Would you kindly give me your same sud address, sir." said the f&t ;ure vender, in great delight. '"Certainly," and he gave it. "Now, sir, if you'd allow us to refer 0 your ease? we should be greatly obliged ,* ' Certainly. That's what I came in 'or. I've written out a certificate.'* He haided it to tho delighted proprietor, repeating, "Poi eternally >bliged to you," and departed. Then the druggist read the following rertiSeate : "I have much pleasure in recom? mending Mr.-*? pamphlet on the iure of obesity. In consoepcoee of ?eading it, I have reduced my weight n six mor.ths from two hundred and wenty-seven to one hundred and ?ighty pounds, wi?b great heu<?t to my general health.

AKRON, 0 , March 17 -Guy Clifton Wright, of this city, a travelling sales? man, entered a saloon her& late last night and called for a glass of seltzer. He poured into it three drams of chloral hydrate and cooily stirred the mixture as he laughed and talked. Then be drank the deadly poison. Turning to the proprietor he said, with consum? mate coolness : "1*11 be dead in five minutes. I want ooe more driuk. PH shake you dice for it.'* Thinking Wright was joking, the sa? loon keeper replied banteringly : "I don't like to take chances with a dying man, but PH go you." The game began. Wright won the first ' horse" and the saloon keeper the second. The latter smiled as be threw four trays in the fioal round. Wright's first dash yielded a pair of fives, bis second did not better them. Calmly he tossed the dice the last time. "Four^fives," said he ; "I win," and placing his hands convulsively to his head be dropped to the floor unconscious and died in a few minutes. His wife'? desertion of bim led to the suicide. mm mm Tract or Biscuit. Just after the termination of the late unpleasantness a lady with a basket on ber arm walked through one of the wards of a certain soldier's hospital She stopped beside the bed of one of the sufferers, a German, aod asked : "Were you a Union man or a Con ederate V "Union," he replied. Whereupon she passed on to the next cot and repeated the same ques? tion to the occupant. "Confederate," was answered, and then she handed the man a nice fresh biscuit. The Germau watched the proceeding not io the best of humor. A few days later another lady going through stopped at the German's cot and asked which side be was on. "Confederate," was the prompt re? ply. "Poor mao," she said, "here's a tract for you," and passed on a:<d the unfortunate's state of mind was not im? proved. Again, a third visitor in passiog stopped at the German's side and asked the same old question which side he was on. "Dot tepends on vat you got. If you got piskit I thinks I might be a Confederate, but if you got tracts I am a Yankee."-Texas Siftings. ? ? mm ? ? t '.?mm* The cotton mills of South Carolina spend a considerable sum of money every year for wooden shuttles. The Carolina persimmon and dogwood make the very best shuttles, but our people do not care to go into small industries, and the mill men get their shuttles from the North. The latest statistics show thai, there will be a decrease of from 40 to 50 per cent in the fertilizer trade of Charleston as compared with last year. Frank E Taylor, a prominent manufacturer, in a letter to the News and Courier, says : "That there will be a decrease io the acreage cf cotton seems to be clear, owing to the extremely conservative way in which all merchants throughout the entire South must necessarily con? duct their business during the present year, tbus reducing to a large extent the aid they have been in the habit of extending to the farmers, and hence restricting in their acreages." Several years ago the Rothschilds h?Id a large quantity of cotton in New Orleans, which th<>y instructed their agent in that city to sell when cotton should roach a certain price. The agetit, believing that the price of cottcu would go beyond the fig ore named by his employers, held on until he was able to sell it at a price which netted ?40 OOO more than he would have got for it if he had obeyed his orders from London. He joyfully informed his employers of his success, supposing they wouid share his satisfaction at the re? sult. Imagine his surprise and chagrin when he received a reply, maying in ?ubstance. "The $40,000 you made by Jisobeying your instructions is not ours. lt is yours. Take it. Mr.-.your successor, starts for New Orleans to Jay."
