Advertising or Other Matter on Ad

The ban has been placed on fancy
stickers by Uncle Sam. A new ruling
says senders of Christmas packages
are warned by the postofllce officials
that If any packages are sent through
the malls with any sort of advertising
sticker or Christmas stamp on the
address side they will be seized ana
sent to the dead letter office if no re
turn address Is given. ,
The order was Issued some time ago

and accordingly many seizures already
have been made. While It is unlawful
to place stickers on the address side
of an envelope they may. be "stuck"
on the back of an' epistle and reach
their destination unmolested, provid
ing they do not resemble postage
stamps.
Stub Train Popular.
That the new pony train is proving
popular is evidenced by the large

When the train left Baker last night
it carried 60 people, and brought
about half that number to the city on

Tortoise Shell. '
The finest of tortoise shell Is said to
be that which comes from the Indian
archipelago, although much of that
obtained on the Florida coast is of the
very best 'quality, says the Scientific
American. - There are three rows of
plates on the back of the animal called
"blades" by the fishermen. In the
central row are five plates and In each
of the others four plates, the latter
containing the best material. Besides
these, there are twenty-five small
plates around the edges of the shell,
known fis "feet" or "noses." The big
gest turtle does not furnish more then
sixteen pounds of shell Formerly the
undersbell was discarded as worthless,
but. now . i is much esteemed for Its,
delicacy of coloring. Sometimes imi

or Introduction to it
Had Their Origin In a Matri
monial Disappointment.
The British system of artificial in
land navigation, which includes sev
eral thousand miles of canal, may be
said to have had its origin In a matri
monial disappointment Tbe Duke of
Bridgewater,' the originator of the sys
tem, was engaged to be married Just
after he had attained his majority. A
dispute arising between tbe couple, tbe
match was broken off. The duke's
chagrin changed the course of his life.
He gave bis first and last ball to the
London world of fashion and then bur
ied himself among his coal fields at
Worsley. Eschewing thev society of
women, he 'refused even to employ
them as servants in his manor house.
Disappointed in marrying the most
beautiful woman in England, be de
termined to unite by means of a canal
his coal fields with Manchester, then
beginning its career as a manufac
turing town. In those days good roads
were the exceptions, bad ronds tbe
rule. The cottons of Manchester and
the woolens of Leeds were conveyed
which Jogged along In Rlnple fllof The
freight charge from Leed to Iondon
was $63 a ton. When tlie duke's canal
was finished the prices' of "coal and
other commodities hi Manchester fell
one-half. ;
The success of this canal started the
duke to build one which would con
nect Manchester with Liverpool. To
procure the funds he reduced his per
sonal expenses to 400 a year. So
straitened wns ho at times that tbe
London bankers hesitated to discount
his note for 500. Sometimes when
"hard np" he would send his steward
upon a collecting tour among the ten
antry of the ln - al estates. The stew
ard would rliV from tenant to tenant,
getting 5 here and 10 there,. When
be !u J collet-ted money enough he
wouid return and, pay the canal labor
ers their weekly wages. , In a few
years, however, the duke's canals paid
him an annual revenue of 80,000.

THE WORD MELODRAMA.
Originally Meant a Play In Which Mil
,. tio Was Introduced.
Nowadays "melodrama" is in general
use as denoting a purely sensational
play, with an all but Impossible hero,
heroine and villain among the charac
ters represented. Formerly the word
kept more closely in its signification to
actual derivation. "Melodrama" Is
compounded of .the Greek words
melos, a song, and drama, an action,
a play, and was applied to two sorts
of performances when it first enme
into use.
It signified a play, generally of the
romantic school, in which the dialogue
was frequently relieved , by - music,
sometimes of an incidental and some
times of a purely dramatic character.
2n, the, strength of bis "Pygmalion" J.
J. Rousseau is credited with the in
vention of this style. Some of the so
called English operas of the older
school, such as the once famous "Beg
gar's Opera- and the once pojmTar "No
Song, No Supper," are in reality true
melodramas.
In the second place "melodrama"
was applied to a peculiar kind of the
atrical composition in which tbe actor
recited his part in an ordinary speak
ing vofce, while the orchestra played
a more or less elaborate accompani
ment appropriate to the situation and
calculated to bring' its salient features
into tbe highest possible relief.- The
merit of the invention of this descrip
tion of melodrama belongs to George
Bcnda, who used it with striking ef
fect in his "Ariadne auf Naxos," pro
ducd ft Gotha In 1774. London Globe
