25W Mail from Writer to Reader. A writer in the N'ew York Trihw.t l Tocatee tbc free delivery of mail matter eve-yliere in the country ma well as in the city claiming that all persons should be treated by th Government equally, and that the mail service ehould be from tlie hand of the mritti to the hand of the reader, and that t very m-u ler if a letter should b' asured tlial it aid not Btnp in sotue local potf-oUi-v, but a il! go right on until it reach liie ivrwin tj aliotu it is went. As to the q'lcstioB of cost, he C-ures nut that it would cost the (overa we rt tiiUch less than it CJk'.s individuals. He says : Take, for illustration, a p-iet-odioe nerving on hundred families liv ing within a radius of three mile. This would fairly n-jnieti te Kittiation in the more thi:ily-twsil,-.l parts of our oM cr States. Allow for tliej one hundred families an average of an hour a day spent in sending orseekiny their mail. As the work is mit-times done by chil dren, count the cost it five cents an hour. This would amount to f 'i a day for the entire community, or 1,S:!", a year. If this still s.'ems t much, take half the mim, or ?'.J1 a year. Thif, at f -00 a year the lowest W8!s paid our letter carriers, would employ one carrier on full time and one on half time, and these would deliver the mail twice a djy to all the liousen having mail due them. In more populous districts the saving would be more, for the same carriers would serve two or three times the number of fami lies in the same radius. T.ut why S'ioo? We all know that good, competent men can be employed in the country district for f 1 a day for this service, and active and honest lads of sixteen or eighteen yea." of age for leas. It is certain that the free delivery can never l-cotiie universal if the present )wy of carriers is to Ik' given for country service. Hut if Congress will allow, and the P.isliHar-ttr ieiicral dare attempt it, the free delivery could be extended to the greater rt of the country without much if any additional espens?. Let one half or two thirds of the saiall country pospomiTes Ifealjolislied and mail-carriers be appointed in place of the dismissed obtiuaKters. In a circuit office miles including the village iu which I now live there are fo'.:r or five small po oflices, My four. Ijft the most central ollioe re main, simply as a mail dipot. The three carriers who may take the places of the three other postmasters could easily de liver the mail twice a day to every fami ly within the whole district It is by economics such as these that Kngland has uriversal free delivery. It the ost master in every large jswlal district be allowed to employ the postmen or car riers as he (hies in Kngland, and as our own postmasters now employ their own clerks, at such wages as rule in his vicin age. Let the present high ay for post men continue in the cities, if needs be, in order to secure the service of compe tent men ; but do not compel the millions of us who live in the country to wait for free delivery till the Government is able to pay for the service at least tw ice as much as it needs to cost. One word more. Is is not the country people alone who will be helped by fhe introduction of the free delivery system. The business and social correspondence lietween men in the cities and men in the countrv now halts half wav and for bids active business intercourse because of the uncertainty of the country side of the correspondence. Make it sure that the business letter will go straight to its mark, and the exchange between town and country will be d ub!ed. I know many a fanner w ho would take a daily paper to g-rt its market reports and to keep up with the times ii he could have it brought by the postman to his door. Brave Ida Lewis. Ida I is, the heroine f Lime Hock Lighthouse, who had saved the lives of o many pers m, receives from the iov ernment a salary off 7.10 a year and two tons of coal. When her father became paralytic she w as made custodian of the lighthouse for life, In appreciation of her heroic efforts, in saving lives she has a gold medal from the United .Sates Treasury IVpartment, three silver medals from the State of Khode Island, one from the Humane Society of Massachusetts, and another from the New York Life Saving Association. It was in l.Stti that General Grant piesented her the splen did lifeboat " Ueseue," which she now has. James Kis Jr., buiit a boat-house for it and also sent the heroino a silk flag made by Mrs. M I'ariand, of New York. Miss Lew is is a member of Soro ais, and was presented a gold brooch by that organization. She also has a num ber of articles from private individuals, and a token that she much upprcicates is a keg of maple sugar and a ox of oat meal from a poor man in the West, The worst cases of scrofula, salt rheum, and other diseases of the b'ood, are cur ed by Hood's Sarsaparilla. Don't sxy there is no help for catarrh, hay fever and cold in the head, since thousands testify that Lly's Cream Halm has entirely cured them. It supercedes the dangerous use of liquids and srutfs. It is easily applied into the nostrils and gives relief at once. Price 50 cents. A thing becomes less formidable upon approach to it. Even a mountain dwind-h-s and loses its immensity, if not its glory, w hen one stands among it spare. A man may smile and smile and be a villain.

The report that Mount Bogostoff, Alaska, is in a state of eruption is verified by otlicers and pssengera of the steamer Arago. The steamer left Ounalatk July 3. At that time huge volumes of steam and smoke could be seen rising from the volcano, wuile at night a pillar of lire thousands of feet high was discernible for miles. BogostotT is on Ou niansk Island, and, according to Indian tra dition, rose from the sea in 1700. The Gov ernment surveyor give its height at 1,1'iJ) feet, but more recent surveyors give its height at 8S4 feet ubove the water line. Tie volcano first began to emit Ere and smcAe about two mouths ago. An eruption follow ed a violent earthquake. BogostofT has been in a state of eruption ever since. Ounalask is about 40 miles distant from the volcano, and no damage will result from the erup tion. The sight is a grand one and mari ners hope the eruption will continue, as it .serves as a lighthouse in guiding the verse's t'.-.Mni;h the Oimunnk pas. Consumption Surely Cured.

A prominent Kew ork lawyer recent ly eneaged a governess to instruct bis three little children. Said he to ber: "I do not care so much what studies you select for my children, but one thing I shall insist upon, and that is tbat you take especial pain9 to cultivate their per ceptive faculties. I want them to become observers, so that they can intelligently describe what they see." This lawyer is wise in his day and generation. One-half of the people who think they are educa ting their children afford men like this lawyer a deal of amusement and only de ceive themselves. In these days of ref erence books and encyclopedias it is worse than senseless to cram the tender brains with the dates of battles, heights of mountains, and lengths of the rivers in the world. It is enough to know that the Amazon river is in Brazil, without telling that it is exactly 4000 miles long and 130 miles wide. Indiivduality is sad ly lacking in the education of girls for too many of them are educated alike. A". Y.PtfM. Forced to Leave Home. Over CO people were forced to leave their homes yesterday to call at their druggist's for a free trial package of line's Family Medicine. If your blood is bad your liver and kidneys out of order, if you are constipated and have headache, and an unsightly complexion, don't full to call on any druggist to-day for a free sample of this grand remedy. The ladies praise it. Everyone likes it. Large-size package, 50 cents. Men talk as if victory were something fortunate. Work is victory. Wherever work is done victory is obtained. There is no chance and no blanks. Spirit is now a very fashionable word ; to act with spirit, to speak with spirit, means only to act rashly and to talk in discreetly. An able man shows his spirit by gentle words and resolute actions ; he is neither hot nor timid. It is only when a man is compliment ed that he thinks be is seeing hiuvelf as others see biin.
