Tho souvenir postcard crazo Is n great nuisance, of course, and causes much extra work for postmasters nud letter carriers, but It adds materially to tho sale of stamps. Tho latest discovery mado by tho doc tors Is that angel cake Is full of mi crobes, but as tho chief function of mi crobes Is to make angola, tho cako ap Xoars to bo properly named. A Cleveland health officer at last lias brought relief to a suffering world by announcing that after nil tbero Is no danger In kissing. Mora of our cltloi should appoint bright people as heads of their health departments. It appears that tho Standard Oil profits In Missouri amounted to only 000 per cent. How many peoplo would bo content with only 000 per cunt when they had the power to take 1000 per cent? Let us ndmlru tho moderation of tho trust. When tho German Kmporor appoint ed a Jewish banker ns director of tho colonial olllce tho other day, much sur jirlrio was expressed In lierllu that a business man and u Jew had Iwen call ed to so high nn olllce. Kucli an ap pointment would hnvo caused surprise neither In tho United Htates nor In Kuglaud. Komo day thero may bo a United States of Central America. A party lias lately been organized In Sal Sal vador, tho leader of which liopa to tiring about a federation of tho Centrnl American republics. Tho experiment of federation Iihs been tried onco or twice; but tho people nro better quali fied for It now thnu they used to be. In these days, when families nro mov ing from oiio place to another In the liopo of bettering themselves, It Is Inter esting to road of nil aged woman who died In a New England town In tho 81110 hoiuo and In tho samo room lit which she was bom. For tho better part of a century she had been active In tho kindly Christian work of tho vil lage, and had come to ho looked upon ah one of lu Institutions. Families which havo nn old homestead that has Ikvii lu the family for generation nftor generation havo n possession worth more thnu dollars and cents, ns every member of an Itinerant family with out such a homestead will testify, In official language thero aro postal cards and post cards. Tho former Is tho penny card issued by tho govern ment with tho stamp printed upon It, while tho post enrd, usually pictorial, can bo produced by anybody, subject to restrictions In slzo and weight, and must havo n stamp afllxed. Lately tho souvenir post card has become n sort of avnlancho lu America as well as Kurope, and forms a serious problem lu tho working arrangements of post ofllces. Tho post card Is one of tho things that were never definitely born, but Just grow. I'lctorlnlly, It first camo Into notice in Germany, ten years ago, and that country, with Franco and England, still lead In Its use, mailing last year 1,200,000,000, valued at 22, 000,000, and calling on tidrty different occupations In their manufacture. Their popularity In tho United States dates from 1002 and tins kept growing until they hnvo almost overwhelmed some of tho imstofllccs, especially In tho vaca tion season. At Coney Island, with Its Labor Day outing, ,175,000 souvenir cards wero sent In tho outgoing mall, and a week lator at tho name resort a baby show resulted lu the mailing of 200,000 souvenir cards lu n slnglo day. An unexpected addition like this to postal labors Is n serious question to those who must deal with It practically, but It Is evidently an Innovation that has coino to stay. A certain degree of epistolary gullo Is found In tho sou venir (Hist card. Thero Is scant room for writing and tho communication must necessarily bo short. If trio pic ture Is striking, beautiful, nnd has nn associated interest lu tlmo nnd place, the excuse Is gracefully put, nnd tho answer can bo lu kind. Tho pictures pre served In order form nn album of trav el nud hnvo In that respect n lasting Interest. Hut how letter writing hoi fallen from Its former high cstnto when It wns n branch of literature I Now a! pleasant scrawl under an Alp, n water fall, nn architectural view or n mar ket scene, nuswors tho pnrposo, nnd thero aro few persons who would not rather send thirty souvenir cards on thirty consecutive days than to write ono letter a week. Travelers nro sup posed to hnvo unbounded lelsuro nud flow of spirits, nnd expected to glvo n lengthy nnd graphic account of their experiences. IJuylng a plctorlnl gem Instead nnd writing, "Just n lino while waiting nt tho station," may bo mora ncceptablo than receiving n many-paged letter that calls for n considerate re sjKinso In which brevity Is out of tho question. It Is nil age of concentration and dispatch. Moments are precious. Tho merely perfunctory Induces a tired feeling. Tho souvenir card has n charm even though spiced with subterfuge. Kvll natures Musi ujhii tho post card to turn It Into comic valentines or some thing still more objectionable, but tsjstal authorities effectually stop that toudcucy by throwing inversions Into tho dead letter waste basket. Its range of legitimate uses Is largo, nud they will contlnuo to unfold. KING & GILMORE Tclophono UNION 40C3 Real Estate Dealers Everything in the Best Properties Jersey Street ST.

That high collar tond to produce nervous uoadai'lio among both men and women Is tho most recent discovery of n well-known Viennese physician. Quito Accidentally tho doctors attention was directed to tho very high nnd very tight stylo of collar worn by a patient who was always complaining of hoadachos mid giddiness. Tho collar was laid aside, thus removing tho compression of tho neck, and the patient's head eliea and giddiness disappeared. Struck by this result, tho doctor paid particular attention to tho kind of col lars worn by his "headaelie patients" ud hi very many Instances the change to lower and easier Uttlng collars brought. Immediate relief. In the case of women wearing high, stiff ueckbands It was found that doing away with tlieso had a similarly beneficial result. The doctor declared that uobody with any toudency to headacho should wear tilgh collars. n i saaaari'iV vvraaw JfaaWw V iv The Model Dry Goods Store of the Model Western City VISIT SPOKANE.
