POSTAGE STAMPS.
The
Waited Ones Net tlacle
Ott a MIlliOB a Year.
An experienced clerk In a branch
post office uptown says that Uncle 8am
la in pocket every year more than
11,000,000 by purchase of postage
stamps which never are used.
"How many stamps," he says, "do
you lose through carrying them care
lessly In your pockets and fishing them
out again glued together and useless ?
How many do you put In a corner of
your pocketbook, finding them again
months later looking like anything but
postage stamps? Of course nobody
ever thinks of sending such stamps in
for redemption. Suppose the waste I
am speaking of averaged 20 cents
annually for each business man. The
total would be enormous.
"Hot weather was a great revenue
maker for the government before the
little oiled books came In; but many
persons lose their books, and the aver
age la about the same. Some persons
actually come back to the stamp win
dow and ask If lost stamp books' can
be traced, like bank books. Another
way in which Uncle Sam gains Is
through tradesmen sending out letters
Inclosing stamped addressed envelopes
for replies, which In the majority of
cases are never used.
"Some business houses collect such
envelopes and redeem them, but few
take the trouble to do this. Think of
the thousands of return postal cards,
too, that are never used. Lots of per
sons are careless of putting stamps on
letters or papers, and they fall off.
Then the matter is held np for double
postage on the other end of the Una. '
"A great many persons put on too
much postage. They slap two two-cent
stamps on a letter that would have
gone for 2 cents. It Is amailng bow
little Information usually well In
formed persons have about different
classes of mall matter. The pay for
It, too, and pay well. The beauty of
our postal system Is that the govern
ment gets the benefit of all mistakes,"

GETTING TO SLEEP.

AH conditions must be favorable to
sleep. The bedroom should be quiet,
dark and airy. In winter It Is better to
have the window away up than to shut
It so that a knife edged draft shall chill
an exposed shoulder. The temperature
of the bed should be agreeable. Getting
to sleep when the feet are cold is as
slow a job as getting to sleep when
hungry. A hot water bottle In one case
and a piece of bread and butter In the
other will help things. I lesve It to yon
to decide which Is for which. A warm
bed In winter Is easily got, but a cool
bed In summer Is not so simple a propo
sition. However, a sheet made of straw
matting Interposed between toe regular
sheet and the mattress will be found to
mitigate sensibly the horrors of a not

Important of all is the disposition of the
mind so that sleep can come. The rea

the reason why we fall In other things.
We do not very genuinely want to suc

busy day, there are so many thoughts
that we want to chase after that we
drop the notion of sleep, though we
know that tomorrow is another day on
which we can think. It Is all very well
to say "Dismiss these thoughts." How
to dismiss them Is the problem that

TO MOW DOWN YANKEES.
The Chain Shot Caaaoa That Waa
iBveated ky a Oeerataa.
A double barreled cannon designed to
sweep down whole regiments of Union
soldiers is one of the relics of the civil
war and Is perhaps the only "shooting
Iron" of the kind in the world.
Immediately after war was declared
an Iron worker named John Gilleland,
then employed In one of the Athens
foundries, decided that he could make
a cannon witb two barrels which should
be more effective than a dozen of the
usual kind. The death dealing inven
tion was to be charged with Iron balls
of a nonexploslve nature, to which was
to be attached a long stout chain, so
that when the two barrels were fired
simultaneously the balls and chain
would mow down men by companies.
The cannon was cast. When it was
entirely finished the Inventor invited a
number of his friends to a pine thicket
on a hill on the outskirts of the city to
see it work. The double barreled thing
was placed In position on the hillside
and a heavy charge of powder rammed
home In each barrel and the chained
balls loaded on top of this. The Invent
or's friends kept at a safe distance, and
he annMed the fuse. One charge of pow

der and ball "went off," but tne otner
didn't. As the heavy ball shot out It
carried with It the chain to the full
length, ripping and cavorting around,
over and under the pine saplings, rocks
and mud, tearing up small trees and
earth, and finally came circling back to
the cannon which held the other ball
with chain attached. The inventor was
struck on one arm by the ball, now
nearly spent, and knocked senseless,
while friends feared to go near, sup
posing that the other barrel might take
a notion to discharge. It was some time
before the discharged ball lay motion
less near the upturned cannon. The In
ventor's arm was shattered, making
amputation necessary.
This was the first and last trial of the
cannon which was to mow down the
Yankees. Mr. Gilleland lost hope and
Interest with his arm, and the cannon
was permitted to remain on the bill for
many months, but was finally carted

have It mounted and placed near the
