The big mall boxes, placed in various Paitsoflho city for the reception of mail matter other than letters, are famil iar. They aro about three feet in height, ai d aro raised on abort leg, so that they will clear the sidewalk. The top of the tiux is rounded. Tho opening through which mail matter may be dropped, and which Is about tig enough to admit a dictionary, U jnt onder the top, In front. It is closed by a vertical cover which turns down on pivots at the lower cor ners, and which is so .weighted lhat it returns to place when released. At the bottom of tho box, and extending across it iu front, is a door which is secured by a padlock. This door opens downward, and when open it forms a shell in front, oiiiUtiiioiis with the floor of the box These big boxes are painted red, and en the frout of each ono is Stenciled this announcement: "For newspapers and puckage, but not for letters. C. 8. mail.'.' Many things besides mail patkagei: have been found in tiles'; big boxes. Sometimes when the collector unlocks tho door a cat jumps out and runs away. There are men who appear to Ihiok it is fun lo ratch a live cat in the street and thrust it into one of these big letter noxee. It is not unusual to find in the boxes loose newspapers, pot into them under (he impression that these are hoxes intended for the reception of read ing matter for the sick in hospitals Sometimes empty flanks aro found. Having taken tbo laet drink, the drinker, instead of throwing the flask into the street to be broken, considerately drops it into the mail box. Sometimes there are found in the boxes old ehoet, put in by people who think lhat ii a funny thing to dc. There are found occasion slly sandwiches, or parts of sandwiches, dropped in hy ersons who have eaten all thi-y want or have lime for of a quick lunch, or by beggars who did not want tho sandwich that had been given to them, and had therefore gently, but lirmly, dropped it into iho nearest pack age mail box. Still, thtse things are, afier all, but incidental; the matter found ia the boxes is chit fly mail matter, and it in cludes a ureat variety of things, pack uC3 and boxes of all sons and sizes that cau bo got through li e opeuirg, and 'Oino that can't he. Sometimes boxes too big to go through the opening are jimnied in as far as they will go and left there, holding the coyer open. Some tin es roiled-up maps are put in the boxes, or one end of them is thrust down through the opening as far as o8sible, the other end sticking out at an angles, something like a fishing roil. As the people have become more and more ac customed lo using them, tho bulk of tbo matter deposited in the boxes has in creased. The o.ail from the big boxes i collected with wagons.'---- . . The Indian and the Bike. The bicycle fever struck SileU, but it lid not last long, says the Lincoln County Leader, lack lloss, an upper farm Indian, traded bis horse to some culttis white man for a bieycle. Very impatiently he waited for the mud to dry up so that he could try his new i-teed. Finally ono day last week he started out to make his first trial, tio ing down by the river he selected a nico smooth, grassv slope. After getting on aud iff a few limes in tbo usual graceful manner of beginneis, ho was linally lirmly seated in the saddle and wobbled iu great shape for a time. But fate was alter him. In his wobbliugs he hap pened to head the machine down hill toward the river. He was delighted at the ease with w hich he ran tbo ma chine, and did not notice where he was headed until he was about ten feet from the Ettep bluff that hung right over the liver, but it was then too late. l!o gave a wild yell, pulled on tho handle bar and shouted "whoa! " but to no avail, and the next instant Jack und tho wheel made a graceful curve and plunged into the deep, chilly water of the Siletz, with the wheel on lop. Presently a very wot and thoroughly disgusted Indian crawled out onto the shore, dragging a bicvele after him, und the wheel is again for trade. Men's bicycle goods a specialty Josephsou's.
