The Special Edition of the Scientific i American, devoted to Transportation on Land and Sea, cannot fail to attract widespread interest, because of the j handsome manner in which it is gotten up and on account of the voluminious j amount of information that it contains.

The postofilce department recently inaugurated a move to stop the habit many people have of writing in photo graph packages, newspapers, etc., that ; are putin the otHce as merchandise, i Special inspectors are making the j rounds and postmasters are instructed J to open all packages not sealed and it ! writing is found therein to report tho i same to the department. Tho viola- j tions of the postal law along this line j are becoming so numerous that it is ; simply astonishing. All kinds of patent medicine testi- j monials to are be found, but few can come up to the following recently sent to a Binghamton patent medicine man: "My brother took your noted liver remedy for four weeks At the end of that time ho died. Before his burial a faint sign of life was noted and an autopsy was performed to make death certain. The liver was found to be so very much alive that it was necessary to take a club and kill it. A well-dressed tramp is traveling through the country districts living on unspecting farmers. He is dressed like a thrifty farm hand and generally comes to the farmer's house towards evening and says he is looking for work on a farm. The farmer who is generally in need of help, hires him, gives him a good supper and a place to sleep. Next morning after breakfast ho states that he will go back to his last place for his things, and that is the last seen of the fellow. An exchange very pertinently re marks: In the long run a man gets what he deserves. If he get* kicked it is be cause he is in the way. The man who wants to whine will have plenty of chances for doing so. There is no rea ! son for worrying or complaining over things that cannot bo otherwise. The man who gets somewhere is the one who does the best he can and does not worry about tho rest Wo are con demned, only for not doing what we aro full able to do. If life seems a big job on our hands we should be thankful. If the Almighty did not think a great! deal of us he would not have given us I such a task. All Smokers smoke the 'W.

U. S. (irant Dead. Mrs. Ulysses S. Grant, wife of Presi- I dent Grant, died at her residence in Washington at 11.17 o'clock last Sun day night. Death was due to heart failure, Mrs. Grant having suffered for some years from valvular disease of the heart, which was aggravated by a severe attack of bronchitis. Her age prevented her rallying from the at tacks. Her daughter, Nellie Grant Santoris, was the only one of her children with her at the time of her death, her three sons, who had been summoned there, all being out of the city. Baptist Church Notes.

The extent to which "signs" are still believed in finds an illustration in the replies which have been sent in large numbers to a Kansas newspaper. This newspaper, by means of a prize offer, incited the rural weather prophets of the Btate to send in their views as to the probability of a mild or severe winter, together with the reasons. Some of these reasons prove to be interesting, if not altogether instructive. Those who predict a mild winter base their predictions on the following ob served or alleged facts: Corn husks are thin and well opened at the end of the ear; muskrats are building very small mounds; squirrels are giving themselves no concern about a future supply of pro visions; cattle have light coats of hair; angle worms are found near the surface; the wind was in the south during the autumnal equinox. All this might seem conclusive but for the array of contra dictory evidence brought out by farm ers who are looking for a cold winter. These point to the fact that mice in fodder shocks have built their nests very high; tho Kansas fowl moulted early this year; the horses have grown long, thick coats of hair (apparently in fine scorn of the cattle who are describ ed as lending the testimony of their ! hide to the other side;) that the fodder crop is unusually heavy; that buffalo grass has a larger stem than usual; that after the fall equinox there was a "freeze." It appears that there are skeptics, however, even in Kansas, and one of them publishes some flippant and poss ibly irrelevant comments in a Topeka newspaper. "There are three signs that have never been known to fail, and they have all been observed this Fall," says the scoffer, and then he names them as follows: (1) When the ducks swim up river backward when the sun crosses the line; (2) when the frogs stand on tho last day of September and whistle 'Yankee Doodle': (3) when the blue jays light on the clothesline in the back yard on the first Sunday morning in October and sing 'Old Hundred'—then look out for mud."
