Stacked one upon another, they would pile up l."0 miles beyond the atmosphere, equal in weight to two of our big locomotives. If these stamps worked In relays, each taking tho letter as far as allowed by the postal regulations, tho letter would be carried to the most remote star. Apropos of tho question as to whether or not women should remove their hats in church, a Lexington man suggests ft ruturn to the good old cus tom under which the men sat on one side and the women on the other. "In that way," 'he says ,-the ladies could get the full benefit of their big hats. Ladies who roiuovo their hats out of courtesy to those who sit behind them would, of course, sit where thoy choose. Tho others could get the full benefit of at tempting to see tho preacher through a junglo of feathers and gewgahs."

In the spring of each year there has been an Increase of alwut fifty cents a thousand on aeoount of the wet condition of tho lumber, but later In the season the ad ditumal amount was knocked off and -Uie price remained at a standstill. Thii year such has not been tho case. In stead of knocking oft the fifty oonts per thousand, several additional raises have been mado, and lumber Is now from one to tour dollars per thousand higher than It wus lust year. Wlthlu tho past three months white pine has gone up from two to four dollars per thousand feet, according to grado, and hemlock has taken a jump of from one to two dollars per thousand feet. Lath are now worth .sixty to seventy conts mono per thous--and than they were last year. Oak and wormy chettnut are Bearce at any price, Oak in 4 to 121 square is exceptionally scarce.
