Postal Points.
Books, pamphlets, and music i-an
be sent at third-clas3 rates.
Every counting-room should be
supplied with scales for weighing let-
ters. i
The postage on a pair of boots
would be at the rate of one cent an j
ounce. ;
Clothing is classed as merchandise
and can be mailed only at the rate of
one cent an ounce.
No valuable package should ever
be mailed unless it is registered.
Don't forget this.
Tea, coffee, sugar, and kindred
articles, can be mailed at the rate of
one cent an ounce.
"Wedding-cake can only be mailed
when packed in n tin or wooden box.
Confectioneries the same.
A book presented for mailing, with
a letter attached to it, would subject
the entire package to letter rates.
Never write an address on a letter,
or any kind of a package intended for
mailing, in a careless manner.
Matter enclosed in a sealed enve
lope, though the corners may be cut
or the ends notched, is subject to let
ter rates.
Liquids, poisons, explosive and in
flammable articles, are not received
for mailing, no matter how carefully
wrapped.
Chromos, engravings or lithographs
belong to the third class, and can be
sent at the rate of two ounces for one
cent.
If you wauled to send a suit of
clotlics by mail, which weighed six
pounds, you would have to make two
packages of it.
Sent! no cash money by mail. It
is much safer and cheaper, in the
long run, to buy a money order or
postal note.
Photographic and autographic al
bums are classed as merchandise,
and postage is charged at the rate of
one cent an ounce.
Animals, reptiles, live or dead (not
stuffed), insects, except queen bees,

from the mails.
An unclaimed postal-card is not re
turned to the writer, even though his
address is given upon it, but is sent
to the dead-letter-oflice.
Letter-heads, bill-heads and en
velopes, blank or printed, are charged
as merchandise, and postage must
be paid at the rato of one cent an

ted in a post-oflicc or in street letter
box, it is beyond the control of the
lierson putting it there, and cannot
be reclaimed.
The Dead-Letter office is a monu
ment to the carelessness and stupidity
of the American people. The aver
age number of letters received there
daily is about 13,000.
Even' Uusiness matt should use return-request
envelopes in all his cor
respondence. If everybody used
them the Dead-Letter oflice" would
soon wind up its business.
Tostal cards are handled with as
much care and promptness in the
matter of dispatch and delivery as
though they Avere letters, even though
the matter thereon is printed.
Third and fourth class matter can
be mailed in the same package, pro
vided it does not exceed four pounds
in weight, but it subjects tho entire
package to fourth class rates.
A newspaper is not forwarded in
the mails unless postage is fully pre
paid, so don't think you can beat
Uncle Sam by attaching a one cent
stamp when two are required.

posited for mailing must be so
wrapped that they can be examined
without destroying the wrapper.
otherwise letter rates of postage arc
charged.

sent at the rate of one cent for each
two ounces ; that is if the card is of
an embellished design.

jewelry in an unregistered letter not
only runs the risk of loosing his prop
erty but places needless temptations
before persons who might not other
wise be tempted to commit a felonj
In all your correspondence, when
ever it can be done, give the street
and number as well as the county
and state. This saves much time and
is a sure preventative against errors
of delivery. It is much better to
spell the name of the state in full.
A box with its lid nailed on is held
as being closed against inspection and
is therefore subject to letter rates.
Postmasters have no right to pry
open such a box and then nail it up
again. Even if they had the right to
do so, they have not the time.
A tax bill, a receipt, an abstract of
title, a promissory note, mortgage,
a draft or check, cancelled checks,
coupons, an invoice bill, a statement,
a pension voucher, a telegraphic dis
patch, a bank note, or any document

Dynamite is prepared by simply
kneading with the naked hands
twenty-five per cent of infusorial
earth" and seventy-five per cent of
nitro-glycerino until the mixture as
sumes a putty condition, not unlike
moist brown sugar. Before mixing
the infusorial earth is calcined in a
furnace in order to burn out all or
ganic matter, and it is also sifted to
free it of large grains. While still
moist it is squeezed into cartridges,
which are prepared of parchment
paper, and the firing is done by ful
minate of silver in copper capsules
provided with patent exploders.
Nitro-glycerinc is made of nitric
acid one part and sulphuric acid two
parts, to which is added ordinary
glycerine, and the mixture is well
washed with pure water. The infu
sion is composed of small, micros
codic silicious shells which have lost
their living creatures. The cellular
parts receive tho nitro-glycerine and
hold it by capilliary attraction, both
inside and out. The earth 13 very
light. Water is expelled from it by
means of a furnace, and then in a
form of a powder it is mixed with
nitro-glycenne. Nitro-glycerine has
a sweet, aromatic, pungent taste and
the peculiar property of causing a
violent headache when placed in a
small quantity on tho tongue or wrist.

England has sixty-five square miles
of colony to the square mile of her
own area. The area of the British
colonies is nearly 8,000,000 of square
miles rather less than the area of
the Russian Empire, including Si
beria and Central Asia; but it the
area of the native feudatory States in
India, amounting to 509,284 square
miles, be added, over which England
exercises as great control as Russia
does overmuch of the territory under
its sway, together with that of the
United Kingdom itself, 120,757 miles,
then the area of the British Empire
exceeds that of the Russian bv about
200,000 square miles.
