Sold After Two Years—Contraband of Jlio Malls—Queen Bees the Only Live Mall. THE annual auction sale of tho Dead Letter Office bas occurred. It is an annual source of amusement to a cortain number of pcoplo in Washing ton. It is oven more amusing than tho sales of dead matter by the ex press companies or the storage ware houses in large cities, becauso tho goods which corao under tho hammer from thoso institutions usually have some value, while tho "dead horse" from tho Postoffice Department is com posed very largely of the most trilling and valueless articles. Still tho sale brings to the department nearly S3OOO a year, which helps to pay tho ex penses of the Dead Letter Office. The articles just sold havo been in tho hands of tho Dead Letter Office for two years or more. This is in ac cordance with the postal regulations, which require that parcels matter shall be held so long a time if its owner cannot bo found. It must be remombered that all diligence is ex ercised by tho postal authorities to find first the sender and then tho ad dressee of a package, and that it goes to the auction room only after effort has been exhausted and after it has remained unclaimed by the owner for two years. Under theso regulations it would not seem possible that a great quantity of mattor of any value would accumulate during a year. Yet of seven million loiters and parcels sent to tho Dead Letter Offioe during a year as insufficiently or incorrectly addressed, only threo million reached their destination after investigation. Doubtless a great number of theso were in tho list of unstamped letters or parcels. One of tho most remarkable things about the Dead Letter Office records is the number of people who send money by mail in badly addressed en velopes. The amount thus sent indi cates that there aro enormous sums in transit in tho United States mails during tho year. Last year $38,000 in loose money was found in "dead" letters which it was necessary to open, and of this $28,000 was restored to its Dwners. More than a million dollars indrafts, money orders, checks, otc., was found in undelivered lotters; and $9G7,000 this was restorod. Postal notes of tho value of $5900 wore found ; and SSGOO worth of theso found their owners in time. Letters containing money which 3ome to tho Dead Letter Office and are not delivered to their owners are hold subject to reclamation for threo months. Before tho expiration of ihattime, inquiries concerning miss ing remittances aro likely to bo made, ind perhaps they got to the Postoffice Department and tho owner of tho money on file is thus identified. At ;he end of three months tho money is rarnod ovor to the Third Assistant Postmaster-General, and ho turns it into tho Treasury. But the sender or tddressco can recover this money at my time within four years by making jlaim and proving property. Letters containing drafts, money orders checks and valuable papers aro filed tor reclamation. They can bo of no value to Undo Sam. An unendorsed Iraft would not bring muoh at an auc tion. All letters containing salable valuables (and all packages as well) are held for two years for reclamation. kt tho end of that timo thourticles are catalogued and sold; but a record of their selling prico is kept, and tho Dwner by making application within four yoars can obtain tho amount from tho Postoffice funds. Postago stamps in a letter, exceeding two cents in valne, are filed away for reclamation for a reasonable timo and aro thon de stroyed. Tho Postoffice Department destroyod last year $676 worth of stamps found in dead letters. Undo Sara bus a pretty big revenue alto gether from tho stamps which are de stroyed in various ways and are never used to pay postage. He also makes a pretty fair income from money sent by mail which falls into tho hands of the Postoffice Department. Tho amount turned into tho Treasury last year on this account was $12,000. Tho Postoiflco Dopartmont destroys in a year four million letters contain ing no enclosures, which cannot bo re turned to writorc. It destroys also a groat quantity of letters and parcels containing matter classed as unmuila ble. Boforo tho passage of tho anti lottory law a groat many of tho letters opened contained lottery tickets. Now there aro not so many of these, but there aro many hundreds of sealed onvolopee under letter postage which oro found to contain lottery circulars, and these, of course, aro dostroyed im mediately. Qreon goods circulars aro found in some envelopes, and these, if they cannot bo of value to tho police in tracing the swindlers, aro dostroyed also. Then there aio auimalß and bugs and bottles of liquid and all sorts of things which come under the postal regulations aro not to ho carried in tho mails. There is ouo living thing that is mailable, nnd that iH a queen bee. Bnt thero are alligators and snakes and butterflies nnd bugs of all kinds constantly coming and going through tho mails. At tho timo there was such a craze for camoloons, thou sands of theso littlo lizards wore mailed iu tho South to nddrosses all over tho United States; and sinoe they were comparatively harmless, alivo or dead, no great effort was made to stop the business. But it happens not in frequently that in the Dead Letter Of fice an exceedingly lively snako or an offensively dead animal comes to light. Anything whioh is likely to injure tho mail matter with which it comes in con tact is contraband of the mail and is destroyed as soon as discovered, what ever its value. But thero is an official exception to tho snake rule. The professors at the Smithsonian often receive reptiles in packagos which come by mail franked to them. The postal authorities per mit this, but tho clerks are not in sympathy with tho exception to tho rule. It is not at all comfortable to hear tho warning sound of a '•rattler" from a perforated package, nono too strong perhaps, which you aro possi bly pounding with a cancelling stamp. What pooplo will put in the mails was illustrated at tho World's Fair by a heavy ax, which carno to tho Doad Letter Oflico one day wrapped in a simple piece of paper with the address missing. Its owner was never found. It was unmailablo matter anyway, for edged tools not cased are forbidden the mails. Nevertheless, the Dead Letter sale always includes quantities of knives. Peoplo who want to mail small articles aro utterly ignorant of tho postal regulations or olso are will ing to take chances of evading them. The Christmas season is always har vest time for tho Dead Letter OfTice. In the first place thero is always tho crop of gifts sont to foreign addresses which do not comply with the postal regulations. Aside from printed mat ter, articles sent as gifts cannot bo forwarded to somo foreign countries unless tho postage is fully prepaid at tho letter rate; and where a parcels | post has been established and special rates are made £t)r merchandise, it is necessary to comply with certain reg ulations concerning prepayment of postage, observance of customs regu lations, etc. It is not safe to ship parcels matter abroad without consult ing tht> local postal authorities. A frequent cause of the non-dolivory of mail matter is tho failure of tho sender to wrap it carefully. Nearly 20,000 parcels without wrappers go to tho Dead Letter Ofiico every year. Many of these, of course, are maga zines. No attempt is made to find the owners of those, and they are not sold. Under the regulations, all mag azines, pauiphlots, illustrated papers, picture cards, etc., among the "dead" parcels aro sent to Washington hos pitals, ctc.,aud 17,000 oftheso articles go to thorn every year.—Boston Tran script.

Tho largo polar bear which for twenty-three years had lived iu tho menagerie of tho Zoological Socioty, London, died recently after a fort night's illness. The bear was pre sented to tho society by B. L. Smith, who brought it homo from an Arctic voyago in 1871. Frank Buokland then described it as "about tho size of u Newfoundland dog, but more short and stumpy, with a splendid shaggy coat of long, yellow hair." In its long lifo at the gardens, undo: tho same careful management by which another specimen of tho saino species was kept for thirty-six years in tho monagerio, it grow to a size rarely equaled, even by tho largest polar boors killed in the Arctic regions, and its weight was esti mated at three-quarters of a ton, though during its illness it refused food and booamo much emaciated.— Scientific American.

WORKED TO THE LIMIT. liow the Hoya Got Ahead of Ilim on a Ten-Cent I Find. A man walking along Wright wood avenue, Chicago, saw a bright dime ly ing on the sidewalk. He picked it up. Only a short distance ahead of him were two boys. lie called to them: "Boys, did you lose anything?" They turned around, and after look ing at each other and then at the friend ly man they shook their heads. "Have you any money?" he asked them. "I've got G5 cents," said one of them. "What kind of money is it?" "I got a half dollar and three nicks." "No dimes, eh?" "No, sir." "I Just picked up a dime there, and I thought perhaps one of you might havo dropped it." Ho walked on to the corner. As ho stood there waiting for a car ho felt a pull at his coat-tail, and a small boy with a streaked face said: "Mister, did you find a ten-cent piece?" "Yes, I found one." "Well, I lost It, honest Ma sent me for bread, and now she'll lick me." "Well, here's your dime." The boy grabbed It and ran. That evening when the man alighted from the car at the same corner a boy with a derby bat too large for him halt ed him and usked: "Say, mister, did you find a dime? Cause I lost one on the way to tho butcher's and I'll catch It when tho old man hears about It" "Look here, I gnve that dime to an other boy. He said he was going to buy bread with It" "He was stringln' you." "I don't know what that means, but maybe the money belonged to you. Here's 10 cents." Next morning another boy, with the proud evidence of a hole in his pocket lo back up his claim, met the honest man at the front gate and asked for the dime* The man knew that some one must have lost the money, and as ho didn't, want to overlook tho right boy, he gave up another dime. That even lug two more were lying in wait. He handed them 10 cents apiece on condi tion that they should notify all the boys in the neighborhood that ho had been "worked" to tho limit EVBRY man who works schemes finally pulls bis own leg.

Scliutu, President of the First Nutional Bank of Hlllßboro, Ore., was held up on a country road recently by four masked men. They took him to a clump of brush by the roadside, and having bound him, secured the keys to the bank and compelled him to give them the combination to the vault. Two of the men started for the bank while the otherß remained on guard over Mr. Schute. The two men re turned and said they could not get into the vault and that Mr. Schute hud given them the wrong combination. After considerable parleying and many threats they started with Mr. Schute for town, but when the outskirts oi the town were reached they turned him loose and disappeared. There is evidence that the robbers had been to the bank, but got nothing. /ft 1A A A ly wiling only '£ books a day of the ' S.

I Ono of tho most conspicuous figures In tho I Htugelnnd of America to-dny is John W. Nor | ton. Born in tho seventh ward of Now York j City forty-six years ago, tho friends of his youth were Thomas W. Keene and Frank I Chnnfrau. Wo find Keene a star at tho ago | of 25 and Norton in tho flower of oarly rnan i hood the leading man for Edwin Booth at i the famous Winter Garden Theatre. Ifo was starrad with Lawrence Barrett early in I the 70s, and alternated tho loading roles with Charles Thorne at tho Variety Theatre in Now Orleans. Early in tho Centennial year, in Louisville, Norton mot our Mary 1 Anderson, then a fair younggirl who aspired I for stage fame, took her under his guidance j and, as everybody knows, led her to fame. Mr. Norton IH now tho proprietor of the Grand Opera House In Bt. Louis, tho Du Quesne Theatre, Pittsburg, and one of tho ; stockholders in the American Extravaganza Company. | Ono afternoon early In Juno he hobbled into his New York Ofllco on Broadway and encountered his business manager, George McMauus, who had also been a rheumatic suf ferer for two years. Norton was surprised that McManus had discarded tils cane. Who cured you? he asked. "I cured myself," re plied McManus, "with Dr. Williams' l'lnk Pills." "I was encouraged by Mr. McManus' cure and ns a last resort tried tho Pink Pills my self," said Mr. Norton to a Chronicle re porter. "You have known me lor five years and know how I have suffered. Why, dur ing the summer of 1895 I was on my back at the Mullanphy Hospital, in this city, four weeks. I was put on the old system of diet ing, with a view to clearing those acidulous properties in my blood that medioal theorists say is the cause of my rheumatism. I left the Hospital feeling stronger, but tho first damp weather brought with it those excru ciating pains in the legs and back. It was tho same old trouble. After sitting down for a stretch of five minutes the pains screwed my legs into a knot when I arose, and I hobbled us puinfuily as ever. After I had taken my first box of Pink Pills it struck me that the pains were less troublesome. I tried another box, and I began almost un consoiously to have faith in the Pink Pills. I improved so rapidly that I could rise after Bitting at my desk for an hour and tho twluges of rheumatism that accompnniod my rising were so mild that I scareeiy noticed them. During the past two weeks we have had much rainy weather in St. Louis. But the dampness has not had the slightest effect in bringing hack the rheumatism, which I consider it sufficient and reliable test of the efficacy of Pink Pills. I may also say that the Pink Pills huve acted as a tonic on iny stomach, which I thought wus well nigh de stroyed by the thousand and one alleged remedies I consumed In the past five vears."
