Automatic 1'ostal Call Box. A very ingenious automatic machine has been established near the letter box at Charing Cross station for the collec tion of letters to be forwarded by the postomee express service. It is iu elec trical connection with the postal tele graph office opposite the station. By dropping a penny into tho slot and pull ing out the slide, a brown colored en velope is delivered. This envelop con- oauiB another euvelope and a card. The ommunication is iutonded to be written the card, which is then inclosed in ) white envolope, and this, with the for delivery, which have been fixed (threepence per mile, is reinclosed in J outer onveloie and deposited in the box behind the flap, which beam the printed instructions.

A Pyzabad Hindoo who had been out- casted for the offense of eating cooked food in a railway train while there were persons of ether castes in the same car nage with him has been restored to caste. The erring individual, although not a wealthy man. had sufficient means to pay the cost of purification. He was first weighed in pice, and was valued at 180 rupees and after that in wheat. After the .veighing he was made to sit on a 8qua. o stone and his body was cov ered with dirt, the face only excepted; he was then taken up by two men and thrown into the river, and after a good bath he came oat and was received by the Brahiuans, fully restored to caste fellowship. The Brahmans informed the purified individual that a great favor had been conferred on him in weighing him in copper instead of silver. Lon don Letter.

Illustrated London News. One Way for a Star to itrlg-hteu. Director Keeler, of the Alleghany ob servatory, was one of the first to receive the uews of the recent discover)' of the new star iu Auriga, but on account of tho cloudy weather and Pittsburg smoke sunning out all observation ho has not yet clearly seen the visitor among the heavenly bodies. In speaking of it he said: "The new star, I think, has been caused by collision. That is. however. only supposition. It is possible that it was, formerly covered with a crust that in some disturbance was broken und Hew off into space, leaving the molten inte rior visible to astronomers. Such occur rences are common. The outside of the body becomes chilled, and losing its oniuancy cannot be seen. "If then the crust is broken by any disturbance the star can be seen and is heralded as a new body, when in reality it may have been occupying the same position tor thnusnnds of years.

The South Af rican Diamond trust that recently forced up the price of its commodity by con solidating the various companies and by occasionally suspending operations to make a scarcity of the stones has cleared a pretty iwnny. During its last fiscal year it gathered np 2.11)5,112 carats of gems, on which was realized nearly 16,440,000. While the surplus stock of stones has been disposed of, an immense quantity of "blue stuff" the local mat rix of the diamond remains to be washed. Exchauge. A Substitute for the Dynamo. The oft discussed problem of a substi tute for dynamos in electric lighting by providing a cheap, inodorous, inoffen sive electric battery, capable of suddIy- ing sufficient light for domestic uses, is again claimed to be solved by M. Pon droux, of Paris. By his new battery be claims the ability to employ a great sur face of zinc in a cell of the desired mod erate capacity, containing but a small quantity of liquid, and with the advan tages of the ingredients of the solutions. as he states, being very cheap.

Who over heard a bluobird'ssong out of season? It may be cold and snowy tomorrow, but his wings tremble in the nervous eostacy of the present, and lie sings of the bit of spring that now is. When the storm comes tiion he is silent. lie may flee bofore its breath, or. if it is late iu the season, he will fold bis wing, unstring his Into and uncom plainingly wait till tho venial sun anil wind shall come again. But let the merest slit of sunlight gash thocloud, anil he warbles forth his greetings. He has been accused of trying to force the season. Uut it is not that. He is such a lover of the very prouusi-i of nature that ho is as happy iu how as fruition. I found a group shivering against a March snowstorm, lute, as the sun was sinking, and stopissi to watch them, pitying their distress. Suddenly there was some commotion, which I at tributed to my prosonee untl scrutiny a low con versational flintier, u quivering of wings, a few hitting changes of position and then u gurgle of spring melody nmong the snnwdrinis. Astonished, I turned to where the sun should bo. mid then; on the horizou's tint its half disk was burning like a beucon.

The two gangs of negroes from the southwest who have beou stranded in this city within tho past few days have displayed traits that are pleasing, und that have stirred np populur sympathy for thimi. Though they found, when they got here, that they could not got to Liberia, in Africa, by a ferryboat or a horse cor for ten cents; though thoy and their pickaninnies were hungry, homeless und helpless in a strange city: though they did not know what to do or where to look for anything, tt is inter esting to loam that thoy did not whine or howl, or threaten to raise a rumpus, or to play huvoc with most thtugs, or even to lot loose the dogs of war, Thoy stood out near the disjk in the cold patiently: they held dialogue about the unknown: they were overjoyed whan a policeman gave thein advice: thev blessed the good Lord when thoy got shinbone soup for nothing: thoy grew merry und sang the old melodies of the plantation when thoy woroolfored a free place to sleep in, und thoy laughed, prayed, grow liuiuoroua nnd oxhorted each other because things wero going quite tolerable In a country for which tnoy started out on their way to the happy land of Liberia. All of which is somewhat refreshing as things go in this world. Now York Sun. A I'ennllar Commission. One of our Springfield artist, whose reputation for lifelike portrait is estab lished, had an old lady walk into bis studio the other morning with a queer commission. She was a quaint, odd figure, clad in un old style bombazine witli a few straggling trimmings of rusty crape, undshe evidently was not familiar with city life. "I'leuse, sir," sho burst out when the artist hail kindly asked her to be seated, "I'd like to have yo fix up a life size pioter o' my Josiah, jest as soou's yo can.
