Important Postil Information for henbody to Read aid Remember. . Don’t be so free with your abréviations. “Port” is not a contraction for Portland; and when you address a letter “Da,le#,” it is more likely to reach Dallas, in Polk county, than it is to go where you intended, perhaps, as there is no Dalles. Write it The Dalles; or more properly, Dalles City, Oregon. When you address your letters or cards with a lead pencil see to it that the address is plainly written. You had better use a fountain pen—at least pen of some kind, and ink. Most lost letters are improperly addressed. When you address a letter see that you spell the name of the town correctly. Many postoffices have similar names. Don t write Ciu. for Cincinnati, or Col. for Columbus. • . .« • ■ ' When you address a letter or card leave room for the stamp and post mark in the upper right band corner. Post marks often blur your address. Send fur adverlieiug rate«. The poultry course at the agrieul- tural oolleges i* not necessarily a get rich quick scheme. Do not put writing in newspapers or packages; if you do-the matter becomes first class mail, and you must pay letter postage, two Cents an ounce, or you are liable to a fine of $10. “ ----- Send The Observer to your absent friends. It i* better than a letter, and gives all the home news. Four mouths for 50c. Written, or type written letters, placed in unsealed en velopes, are subjeo< to the same rate of postage, as when sealed; two cents an ounce. Hay is acting governor of Wash ington, but over in (Bb*.Yakima country the farmers still proclaim alfalfa id king. ” Post cards in transparent envelopes will go at the rate of one cent if unsealed, provided there is nothing more than the address of tlte one to receive it, and the name of the sender. Stamp must be placed on the envelope, and not on the card, when enclosed in transparent envelope. Women, Chinese and japs are all under the ban iu California. I he legislature has again defeated the equal suffrage bill. Cuba has had two periods of good government,and wilt find cock fight ing and lotteries a poor substitute for the American style o f running public affairs. Mr. Taft’s remark that the coo stitutiou is pretty good as it stands, is sound; and it is the beginning of wisdom to respect it in every section of the country. ■' More Pittsburg bankers are going over the jail route; at this rate mur der will soon be established as even less hazardous than robbing a bank from the inside.

Turkey is going to make a study' of the American navy. A big fleet that can sail around the world in a thoroughly busiuess like manner, strikes the sultan as worthy of imi tation. “ Keep youth from the city,’’ says a big daily newspaper of Gotham; sure, and moth from candle, aud needle from magnet. Don’t waste serious thought on keeping thecity clean for youth. Benzoate of soda may be quite harmless; Dr. Wiley may be wrong m the government’s consulting t chemists say; but people who prefer it as a health tonic ought at least to have a chance to know what they are getting. A prohibition fight down iu Ten nessee has led to great inteinper aooe of language, and the legist» tare is hotter in short aud ugly words than is Washington with it« liquefying executive and congress ional stabs and jabs. California reminds the couutry that its constitution contains a pro vision against the immigration, pf an alien race; but the constitution of tl e United States iucl(id<*s a clause on the treaty making power much older than California. HOLDING THE CELL«; > Post cards containing writing and inclosed in trans parent envelope, whether sealed or unsealed, must bear a two-cent stamp, and the stamp must be placed on the en velope, instead of the card, Send valuable papers or merchandise by first-class registered mail, for the post office department will make good any loss in this mail not exceeding $2>5. Patrons of post offices can get better service b y rent ing a box which costs only 20 cents for three months. If you have a box the post master’s work is4j.ghtened, and your mail is not handled or looked over like it is in the general delivery. The post office department makes great conveniences for you, so do not hesitate to help in return. When you mail a letter or package see that it is sub stantially done up. The rapid handling of the mails some times destroys a poor envelope or covering of a package, and thus your mail is lost. You should put your name and post office on each package, and if not delivered it will be returned to you, but you will have to repay postage, unless it is first class. When you moye to another post office notify the post* master at ÿour former post office to forward your mail, and notify the publishers of your papers that you have changed your, post office, from ........ ,. to ...v*...... • An Ane-dote of Ouport and tha Em peror Napoleon. ‘ J- Napoleon.
