It will probably bo an item of nows
to most readers that postmasters are
not compelled to make change when you
mako purchases at Uncle Barn's ofllco.
This ia a queer rule that not one in a
thousand persons know. Buyers of
stamps or any purchasers at a post ofllce
must furuieh their own chaDge; that is,
the postmaster could insist on tbo buyer
furnishing his own change if be sees fit
to do so; but usually tho postmaster is
glad enough to got rid of his "chicken
feed," and ho is always willing and
ready to accommodate tbo public by
making all tho cbsngo it asks for. If a
man wishes to buy W) cents' worth of
stamps and has but a silver dollar, be
would bo compelled to buy a dollar's
worth of stamps or go and get his silver
dollar changed or do without the stamps
it tho postmaster was stubborn and re
fused to mako change for bim. This is
the law and a queer ono, so many think
And postmasters aro not compelled to
take more than 25 pennies at one time

Tho Frank A. Itobbins, so called
circus which exhibited hero on Baturday
wm an unmitigated fake and fraud from
tbo first poster placed on the bill-boards
to the pulling of tbs last tent staice.
Nothing, substantially, that was prom
isod in tho advance announcements was
done; and very tittle tbat was done at
all was well done. Tbe showmen came
hero with a fake story of a wreck which
had destroyed much of their specialty
apparatus : but later explained tbat tbo
management had eont to headquarters
about half of the show on account of
bad business. Yot notwithstanding this
confession of their crippled or inefficient
condition, they had tbo nerve to charge
tho hundreds of pooplo who had been
allured bv their Ivine statements to
tramp through the mile of dust ro Free
thy's flats, just double thi almittanoe
foe demanded in all other towns. In
stead of ten and twonty-flvo eontu for
tickets as elsewhere, here tbey were
twenty-five nnl Ufty; insteod of ten
cents for reserved seats, tho cnargo was
twenty-fire, and tho commonest palm
leaf fans were sold for ten cents. There
was no apology even, for an elophant.
and tho few moth-eaten beasts tbat were
put on exhibition were so forlorn in ap
psaranco at to excite pity or dorieion
rather than interest. Tho di'gusttng
antics of four or five degraded monkeys
wero better adapted for exhibition in a
tenderloin jungle than a civilized com
munity, and their noar relatives tbe
tbreo alleged clowns, instead of provok
ing laughter, drovo most of their audi
onco into a settled rx-!ancho!ia. Tho
three cowboys, hoaded by "Nebraska
Bill," wero so ludicrously bad as to bo
almost good It wni certainly amus
ing to witness Bill's frantic attempts to
jump through tho loop of his lariat, ro
reiving a whack ncrois tha face at cv
cry trial. As for turning the running
horses, it is doubtful if he could have
roped one if It were walking; and whon
t came to picking up the scattered rg
from tbe ground, while the bioncbos
were in motion, the rulo seemed to be to
miss twelve out of ovrry dr reo. In fact
f thero ever was n rank counterfeit bill
was ''Nebraska Bill." Such of the
sidysbows ai were not made up of tooth-le-H
snakes, fakirs mid gambler, were
composed of gumblsrs, fakirs and tooth
less snakes; but in lieu of the usual
canal woter and lemon peel generally
served as lemonade at only five cents u
glass, en) could got river water and
shavings for tho same price. The only
redeeming feature of tbo whole falui
wes tbe mcnago act of an old timer.
ho handled her handsome horse and
wbito doves very acceptably, but who
looked so decidedly out of place as to
suggest tbo old story of "Good Dog Tray
Caught in Bad Company. Tho weather
under the tents was simply stilling, and
it was small wonder tbat when finally
released from tbo fiery furnace, tbo on-
tire crowd bunched their criticism of tbo
show into tho ono cxprcesivo word.

As tho season of thunderstorms is
on us, attontion is called to somo pop
ular orrors as to tbo danger from light
ning. A widespread belief is that dur
ing a thunderstorm safety may bo
found undor a beoch troo, and tbat tho
danger from lightning is 15 timos as
great undor a resinous treo and SO times
as groat uuder an oak. Careful obser
vatiou Bbows that this viow is entirely
without foundation. Tbo beoch is not
avoidod by lightning which solocts one
species as readily as another, but tbo
tullor trees in tho neighborhood appoar
to be tbo ones liablo to bo struck. Tho
effects of lightning aro also commonly
misundorstogd. Too cells of a t rco aro
not ruptured or torn by tba formation
of steam, as is often statod, but tbey
collapse, or shrink up, without tearing.
Tbe roots seem to escapo damage.
