Tbeae are ud on reglatered lettera carrying valuable papera, During the I eat ftw month mllllont of dollar' worth of American tecurltlet have been aent abroad, moat of them being aent by registered mall, the poetage often amounting to 150 a package. In caae of tlmllar shipment from England 10-thllllng, 1 pound and even ( pound (nearly il) ttampe are need. Yon may be aura that , theae tump are valuable even after they are canceled, for collector eometlme pay aa much aa one-half the face value for the canceled atampa. A mourner Birthday. Borne think that "bloomer" coatumee re of recent discovery and that the bloomer woman of a few year ago was tba first of ber apecle. The fact la, however, that July 23, DIM, tba costume wa first worn, Thl waa at a ball In Lowell, Mas. The bloomer wa Invented by Mr. Amelia Iltoomcr, editor of a temperance Journal (the Ml;), published at Henera Fall, N. Y. After causing quite a stir In fah lonable and unfashionable communi ties alike, the bloomer became lost to view until recently. The origin of tba bloomer may be (raced to the roatumee worn by orien tal women, who to thla day dreta In garmenia that bear a atrong family resemblance to the baggy costume of the new woman of nearly fifty year g. OIet the fog Signal. At the Portland (M.) Head light house Is a government servant who nme I not on the pay roil, but who la aa faithful aa any lighthouse-keeper In the country. This interesting member of the service la a large gray parrot that ha learned to mock the (Ignala erf the lighthouse man. It ws brought from Africa a thort time ago and soon learned that the keeper would cry, "Fog coming; blow the born!" when the fog begun to blow In from the ocean, Kver after that, the parrot gave the warning whenever the fog be gan to appear, and recently It gave the signal before the lighthouse men noticed that the fog wa upon them. Hundred of Mllaa fa Home. Thf Instinct that tern ties dumb ani mal to find the way to their old haunt after they have been removed numy mile I one of the mysferle of nature, Recently a farmer living near f-exlna"-ton, Ky., found a lean and foot-eorc dog whining at the door of his bom one morning. The dog had formerly belonged to the farmer, but bad b'cn given to a friend who had moved " Kansax, 700 mile away. The dog bid been carried to Kansas on the cars, but had managed to wander to Its old home, foraging for fond as It wnt nix) going ao rapidly that It was -?-ly a cripple when It reached the old home door.

Herr Hactepanik aaya hi ma chine will reproduce leltere perfectly, thereby taking the place of the post and the telegraph, floughty apeaklug. the picture la broken up Into a num ber of polnta. Kach point la reflected In mlrrore, and the reflected ray of light la converted Into an electric cur rent, which can be transmitted any distance. At tbe receiving end, the current la again transformed Into tbe corresponding ray of light. Tbla ray of light la reflected In mirror and tbe reflection thrown upon a acreen. Now It follow If all tbe point of a picture are taken In very rapid succession, tbe resultant reflection on tbe acreen will be tbe entire picture. Tbere are many waya of converting light rays Into elec tric currents already known to men of science, An electric battery with a selenium cell la uaed. Tbe battery la connected by wire with an elect rj magnet at the receiving end, where the current are to be reconverted into tight rys. Tbe electro-magnet will move In sympathy with tbe current sent out from tbe transmitting appar atus, and Ha movements will corre spond with tbe nature of the ray re fleeted. Tbe magnet will move a prlf m placed In front of a atrong white light either electric or sunlight. The prism will revolve the white light Into l:s primaries, Tba primary colors apread oir. Into a spectrum and tbe prism re sponding to tbe movemeota of the magnet will bring the required color Into view.

Mow lo Uat Hid of gammer I'ett ted gill lha trneha. When the winter floor covering ore carried out, though great coolness and cleanliness la tbe result, too often an unsightly stretch of board Is presented to view. Flooring In any except the best built modern bouses Is ao often III laid that the housekeeper Is puttied bow to conceal the small chasm be tween th planks. Rug are cosily and dusty, and to paint or varnlsb a straggling floor la love's labor almost lost. Common sense advises ber to fill op the cracks, but bow pot with put ty? Tbere la a better plan than that, (lather up all tbe letter from the waste paper basket, until there la a big bag full; enough paper to stuff a couple of big sofa cushion. Het the Idle or the willing members of the family to shredding Into bits the psper board. This accomplished, pile the (altera Into a pot with water and cook It. To every quart of paper and water add a hand ful of gum arable, and let the whole Immer to a very thick, thick cream. The sequence la easily guessed. The mixture must lta put hot In the cracks, well packed and neatly smoothed. When cold It la resdy fur tbe coat of floor paint, arid aa bard a tha rest of the board, for It la really nothing more nor less than a papier mache, and everyone knows what a tough arti cle that Is. Cracks in floor are alto gether too great a temptation for In sects, ao It Is best to do awsy with the possibility of their proving a harbinger by adding a little parls green to the paper filling. Thla poison will ban ish entirely (be hideous water beetle that often Infest even the cleanest kitchen and bath rooms, ('are must be taken to keep it away from children and pet animals, aa It Is very poison ous, A little, mixed with sugar, and put on old pliiles or stiuccra over night, and used on in or twice in a season, will be all that la required. Those fa miliar with country life know what a boon thl green paint hs been to farm er In ridding (hem of the ublqultou potato beetle, and there I no reiwnn why tbe housekeeper should fear thla ammunition If Used Intelligently. There Is yet another hint a to the plac ing of this poison. Those who have Hurtled the habits of the croton or water beetle know . how they are routed Immediately by light, and bow like a flanh they disappear.
