- A Clever Trick.
It certainly looks like it, but there is
really no trick about it. Anybody can
try it who has lame back and weak kid
neys, malaria or nervous troubles. We
mean he can cure himself right away by
taking Electric Bitters. This medicine
tones np the whole system, acts as a
stimulant to the Liver and Kidneys, ia a
blood purifier and nerve tonic. It cures
.constipation, headache, fainting "spells,
sleeplessness and melancholy. It is
purely vegetable, a mild laxative, and
restores the system to its natural vigor.
Try Electric Bittera and be convinced
that they are a miracle worker. Every
bottle guaranteed. Only 50o a bottle at

The Enormous Business of the V'nited
States Post Offices sis Compared -.
.with That of Other
T . ' Conntrles.
There are 200,000 post, offices in all
the countries of the world enjoying or
ganized facilities of correspondence,
and of this number 70,000 ore in the
United States. In respect to the num
ber of letters and postal cards written
and received, the revenue and disburse
ments of the department, the' extent,
promptness and accuracy of letter ' de
livery, as well as the number cf post
offices, the United States stands at the
head of all other nations, Germany fol
lowing second, Great Britain third,
and Austria, among- European nations,
fourth. The United States sells in p
year 2,000,000,000 two-cent. stamps,
which is equivalent to 1,000,000,000 let
ters sent through the mails in a year.
In addition to this the United States sells
in a year 600,000 one-cent stamps, some
of which are used for letters, though a
larger number for newspaper and cir
cular postage, 12,000,000 three-cent
stamps, 20,000,000 four-cent stamps, and
50,000,000 five-cent stamps, mostly used
for letters sent from this country for
foreign delivery. More then 1,000,000,
000 letters a year, therefore, paying full
postage, and exclusive of postal cards,
are written in theUnited States.
The business of the German and of
the English post office' department is
less than half as large. The postal card
system in Germany is in much, more
general ruse than, in England, and it is
for this reason, perhaps, that Germany
keeps ahead of England in respect to
the amount of correspondence done.
The number of post offices in Great
Britain by the last official statement,
made on January 1, 1897, was 20,275, ex
clusive of what is officially called in
England "the road and pillar letter
box." There are 150,000 employes of the
post office department in Great Britain,
of whom 6,500 are women and girls.
The number of post office employes in
Germany, where telegraphic communi
cation is a part of the post office system,
is 125,000. The number of " letters
handled by the Austrian post office de
partment in. a year is 750,000,000, and of
these two-thirds are handled in that
portion of the empire which comes un
der the designation of Austria and one
third only is handled in the portion of
ficially known as Hungary. The Ger
mans in Austria, as well as in Germany,
aire great letter writers, and in those
cities of the United States in which the
German population is numerous more
letters are wrritten in a year proportion
ately than in cities in which the German
population is small. .-' -
. The Italian, post office handles 350,
000,000 letters a. year, the post .office
department of Spain, 120,000,000, of
Canada 100,000,000, of Holland 100,000,
000, of Belgium 125,000,000, and of Eus
sia 200,000,000, a considerable propor
tion of which is carried on what are
called "the mail coach roads," upon
which postal service the imperial gov
ernment maintains 50,000 horses. In
France the number of letters handled
by the post office department is about
700,000,000 in- a year and the receipts of
the department are about $35,000,000, or
one-half of those of the United States.
The French government, however, doe
a considerable express business, hand
ling -more than 40,000,000 parcels, or at
the rate of "one to each inhabitant of
the country in each year. The expendi
tures of the post office department in
the United States exceed the receipts by
from $3,000,000 to $10,000,000 in an or
dinary year.- 'When times are bad there
