NCR IB DEFICIT Eo) w 1IE.WY DEMAND ON THE POSTOFF1CE DEPARTMENT. V:k iisI.iii of Rural Route Causes Faiornious Expenses Free Delivery tn Cliiiw Will Increase tlio Drain Upon the Revenues. Whi-a Representative Ovcrmreel of Indiana iasscJ through Washington City recently, ho was quite emphatic as to the necessity of raising more revenue for the postofflce "from some quarter," Is u report that comes from the national capital. As chairman of the committee on poeti'fftces, he is familiar with the fact that the larse deficit In tho rev enues of that department Is almost wholly duo to the enormous Increase in rural free delivery, but whether to check such expenditures Is wise from a political standpoint Is a question which he and his colleagues are like ly to decide In the negative. Trrhnps the most Interesting phase of this question Is how long arc tha small towns going to submit to seeing mail carriers pass their doors dallv to deliver un occasional letter to a for mer 20 miles away, while thev aro compelled to walk to the postofflce which may be a mile awav. There is neor Washington a town of more than 1500 Inhabitants to whom one carrier In a wagon could deliver the mall twice a day, yet three or (our rural carriers pass through each day, delivering all around the outskirts of the town, and there are no deliveries within its limits. When towns from 600 to 10.000 be gin demanding free delivery, not only will Mr. Ovcrstreet's difficulties be In creased, but many members will find it difficult to compel the patrons of the office to go for their mall merely to maintain a political friend In a postmastcrshlp. THE APPLE CHOP IN EUROPE. Statement of a Fnilt Brokerage Firm At Liverpool-Fall Apples Scarce. James Adam, Sun & Co., of Liver pool, fruit brokers, have issued their "prospective report" regarding apple conditions on the other side of the Atlantic, as follows,,: In former years we have always delayed the Issue vof this report until our views as to the crop prospects In this country were confirmed by the comprehensive figures published In the Gardeners' Chronicle. This year, however, the opinion us to the posi tion of things is so general, that we take this early opportunity of com municating to our friends the Indica tions for the coming season, as view ed from present aspects. There is no doubt that throughout (his country apples will be a short crop, as vwtns to the Kite frosts the fruit set very badly Indeed, while, In addition to this, much of what did set has fallen, owing to the dry weather since experienced. Of course some or ehards that are In any way sheltered may have a fair show of fruit, but taxing tne growing districts as a wh6t, nfyorW certainly Indicate .1 short Bupply. Similar reports come from the prin cipal fruit sections on the continent: 5ermany promises to have a very light crop, while in Holland and Bel gium the yield is said to be much be low the average. To these sources of supply, however, we need not attach much Importance, as the appreciation fit American and Canadian varieties Is such that when they make their ap pearance preference Is at once shown for them. It appears, therefore, that our markets will he open for supplies much earlier than usual, in fact: it would seem as If fall apples would be wanted In quantity this season, espec ially the better .Mid more attractive sorts. As regards winters, we cannot help hut take a favorable view, us tin gen eral condition of trads H mu 'h '.etter than it has been, especially in Lanca 'shire, where the cotton Industry Is particularly brisk, and for this rea son our own market, at any rate, Is likely to offer a ready outlet for fruit of choice quality. We cannot, however, impress upon shippers too forcibly the advisability of careful grading and packing, as these are very important factors if good results are to be obtained. Many Mhlppers, unfortunately, seem to over look the fact that the charges for f-oriveyanee, etc., are the same on poor as on good fruit, and often send for ward Inferior sto.-k, which ought to lie kept at home, with the result that business is disappointing and unre niunerative to them."

Steel Hoi Belna Hard RnsBRh, Diamonds are used quite extensively is illes for drawing wire of tho small est sizes for instance, the sizes less than, say, twenty-Bye oite-thousnmlths of nn inch diameter. Tlio hardest steel dies are not suitable for tills work for the reason that the wear upon thorn so enlarges the die that the diameter of the wire Is not uni form within the required percentage of variation nt the beginning and end of t drawing. Sapphires aro used some times for Oils work. Copper, silver and platinum are the metals usually drawn to the very suinll sizes. With diamond dies It Is practicable to draw platinum to a diameter of five ton-thousandths of nn inch. An idea of the fineness of a copper wire drawn to only three one-thousandths of nn Inch in diameter mny be gathered from the fact that in one pound of the metal there are over six miles of such wire. The weight of the diamonds used for this work Is from four to five carats, and they are uncut except as to the tile. The value of these tiles, which, of course, are not of the first water, va ries from $15 to $20 a carat, nnd sev eral hundred thousand dollars' worth of diamonds are utilized as dies In the various wire factories of this country alone.

The genius of Marlborough seized up on the simple fact Unit the arc Is great er than Its chord when he won his great victory at Uamllllcs. The French army under Vlllerol was posted In an arc on a ridge of hills. Their left ex tended to the village of Autre F.gllse and owing to the steepness of the hills and the river and marsh In front was In an almost Impregnable position. Their forces swept round on the top of the ridge till they reached on the ex treme right a height behlud the village of Rnmlllies known as the Tomb of Ot- tnmond. Marlborongb saw that this height was the key to the position. lie first made a vigorous feint on Autre Eglise and so caused the French generals to hurry In person to that point. Then he moved largo bodies of troops rapidly and se cretly along the chord of the arc and carried the position on the French right before Vlllerol had time to bring up re- enforcements by the longer line of the curve. This Is easily understood when It la remembered that the chord of an arc la a straight line joining the extremities of an arc or two points In a curve. London Standard. THE PERFECT FOOT. It Is Said to Be Posad O11I7 Among American Women. "The American woman's foot Is the prettiest," said the Bhoemaker. "It Is at once slender and robust and very sup ple. The Instep Is high and beautiful In a word, a perfect foot, charming and serviceable alike In a pink satin slipper In a ballroom or In a white rub ber soled shoe on a tennis court or In a stout, hobnailed boot op the side of the Jungfrau or the Matterhorn. "The Frenchwoman's foot comes next It Is long and slender and ele gant, but weak, no good for service, very ornamental a foot for show. "The Spanish foot Is small, and Its Instep Is high and arched. Here, too. there Is not enough strength. There Is a tendency to softness and In Inter life to fat "The German foot Is large, but shape ly and strong. It resembles the Ameri can foot, only It Is much bigger. "The English foot Is the Is the well It Is the limit! It Is long; it Is bony; It has no Instep; It wears its shoe over on the side. Nowhere In the world will you find a race with such ugly feet as those of the English." Minneapolis Journal. Stevenunn nnd Wallace.

Easterly winds of Summer as from the keen, cutting winds, freezing atmosphere and bitter cold or Rheumatism never comes the blood and system before inherit a strong predisposition or tendency; it is born in them; Dut whether heredity is back of it or it comes from imprudent and careless ways of living, it is the same always and at all seasons. The real cause of Rheumatism is a polluted, sour and -icid condition of the blood, and as it flows through the body deposits a gritty, irritating substance or sediment in the muscles, joints and nerves, and it is these that produce the terri ble pains, inflammation and swelling and the misery and torture of Rheumatism. No .11- 4 4 otner disease causes sucn pain, sucn wioe-spreaa suffering. It deforms and cripples its thousands, leaving them helpless invalids and nervous wrecks. i When neglected or improperly treated, Rheuma tism becomes chronic, the pains are . wandering or shifting from one place to another, sometimes sharp and cutting, again dull and aggravating. The mus cles of the neck, shoulders and back, the joints of the knees, ankles and wrists, are most often the seat of pain. Countless liniments and plasters are applied , to get relief, but such things do not reach the poisoned blood; their effect is only temporary; they are neither curative nor preventive. The blood must be purified, and all irritating matter re moved from the circulation before permanent relief and a thorough cure is effected, and no remedy docs this so certainly and touic properties, but solvent poison and making a complete tion, but is guaranteed purely vegetable. Old people will find it not only the best blood purifier, but a most invigorating tonic just such a remedy as they need to enrich the blood and quicken the circulation. Whether you have Rheumatism in the acute or chronic stage, the treatment must be internal, deep and thorough in order to be lasting. Never be satisfied with anything less than an absolutely perfect cure. This you can get by the use of S. S. S., the oldest and best purifier and greatest of all tonics.

Officers nt Sun Francisco Are Under Arrest An extensive attempt to officer American ships with foreigners who too suddenly secured naturalization papers has been frustrated here, says a Sun Francisco dispatch. After two weeks of investigation, Special Treas ury Agent Richard H. Taylor has placed nine of the alleged members of the ring In Jail. The men In the suppositious get-naturallzed-qulck scheme, who have been arrested are: Frank Johnson, well known politician; Oustav Holmgren, a water front saloonkeep er; Herman Von Busse, a petty offi cer on the big American-Hawaiian steamer Nevadan; Paul Ruppmund, master-at-arms on the revenue cut ter Thetis; William Achlstrand, pro prietor of a sailors' hoarding house; Ernest Oraessler and Frank A. Wlrt anen. The latter is detained as a witness. The so-called ring has been active for the past 11 months, according to the United States authorities who have been engaged In routing out the scheme. There was "big money" In It; citizen's papers being quoted on the water front exchanges at 160 each, and there were many takers. The 160 would go to the leaden of the ring.
