DEAD* LETTERS. rho Office to Which They nro Sent In Washington. 'inding All Sorts of Articles in Missivos That Go Astray. Among the many places of interest to visited in Washington, perhaps there no other that is so absorbingly inter- ting to the great mass of visitors as the lead Letter Office and the museum con- peted here, with it. There is nothing to bo fcen but everyone is capable of nn- lerstandiug and appreciating. Just in- Ide the large hall a space is railed off, rherc visitors may stand and observe at teir leisure the work that is going on so lisily. Over 15,000 letters a day to be Jtatnined, assorted and disposed of! that a large corps of clerks is needed )r the work, and how quickly, skillfully nd mechanically it goes on! In the rst room the letters are opened and as- >rted, those containing money or arti- ies of value going one way and all the oth- rs going another. A simple motion slits pen an envelope with unerring precision, he letter is withdrawn, unfolded, re¬ laced. The next letter the same. How East the heaps of the examined letters rrow, but the work docs not end, for the ppply b' replenished is never exhausted, the letters but passed constant- as are on. Here, as in many other departments, the Fork is several days or weeks behind lime, and fresh appropriations are need- id for more workers. I The opened letters containing inclos- bres of value are restored to the senders Ivhen practicable, otherwise they arc re¬ korded aud filed away, and may be re¬ claimed at any time, Other letters are pot recorded. They are returned to the writers, if possible, and when the writers Cannot can be found, the letters are de¬ stroyed. In the year 1884, more than 17,000 letters contained money, amount¬ ing to nearly $34,000. Some 20,000 let¬ ters contained drafts, checks, money or¬ ders, etc., to the value of more than $1,- 500,000. Some idea of the growth of khe postal service in the United States for a century may be formed, when we bonsider in this connection the state¬ ment, quoted from a postal report in 1788, that “365 valuable letters have ac¬ cumulated in the department since 1777. Many thousand letters are received an- dually containing photographs, postage stamps and merchandise. Thousands yf letters arc deposited yearly in the Post Office bearing no superscription what- jver, and all such of course are forward- id to the Dead Letter Office for examina¬ tion. Easter cards and Christmas cards pre received by the gross. These are dis¬ tributed once a month among the child¬ ren in hospitals. All reading matter re¬ ceived, papers and magazines, are dis¬ tributed among adults in hospitals. Interesting as is the work that is be- ing carried on in the Dead Letter Office. the museum of articles collected there is infinitely more so. An inconceivable variety of interesting objects, beautiful, horrible, attractive, disgusting, amusing, pathetic, valuable and worthless, are ar- ranged in the glass cases. Some nice jewelry is displayed, brooches, lockets, a watch and chain, the latest addition be¬ ing a fine gold-headed cane, brought in the very day of our visit. There are a number of pretty rings, slender and dainty circlets! How many an unwrit- ten romance may they not have repre- sentedl Were they betrothal rings, long looked for with vain expectancy and hope deferred? Did the senders wait for a response, till the ardor that prompted the gift grew cold? Who can teU? Only the sibyls, sworn to secrecv, who have persued the messages accompanying the gifts .—Boston Transcript. Americanisms. There are three terms very often quoted as American “slang” which possess cer¬ tain peculiarities of locality. These arc “guess,” “calculate” and “reckon.” One may travel through what are known as the Southern States for five years and never once hear either of the first two words, unless spoken by a northerner or a man from the West. The Southern¬ er “reckons” everything, except, perhaps, consequences, and they are left to take care of themselves. “Guess” is more or less universal in the states, and ‘ ‘ealeu- ■late” is common only to the North and extreme East. “Stranger” is frequently erroneously used by English writers and speakers as an ordinary colloquialism of all Americans. It is the property of the South and Southwest only, and even Biere is rapidly becoming obsolete. But fo these expressions it is hardly fair to append the stigma of “slang.” Now-, there are plenty of slang words and ohrases in vogue in America which prob- !y are meaningless to English minds, >dy has purchased an article for con- tffily more than its value, she shows ir 5apness. husband, proclaiming its beauty lie, seeing that she *er <i overcharged, endeavors to per- that such is the case, vainly, ,fo quite satisfied with her bargain, -;ht,”says he, “it’s not my fu- This is slang, pure and simple, ■ V f derivation.

Mnny a dollar will be saved to the far¬ mer’s purse, and many years of fruitless waiting spared him, by nttention to the facts: that varieties arc influenced by soil and situation;—that experience of prac¬ tical fruit-growers in the same locality is a valuable guide in selection, and that local nurserymen should be safe advisers, unless self-interest impels them to work off undesirable stock. Moreover, nearly every state has one or more horticultural locictics, often subsidized by the state, for the express purpose of gathering and imparting just such information as is re- ferredto. While self-interest may not nl- ways be wanting here, it is kept well un- der, and the published opinions of horti¬ cultural societies may always be consulted with profit by those who contemplate setting out fruit trees .—Professor William Trelease. Contagion In tlie StRhlei. Contageous diseases of a most virulent diameter may be perpetuated for an in¬ definite length of time by feeding horses in stalls where the disease has existed. Of this kind we may mention glanders and Spanish itch especially. Either of those most fatal disorders may be con¬ veyed to other horses by feeding in a stall where horses suffering with them have been kept. To destroy the virus, take a pint of sulphuric acid and put it in a bucket of xvater, and with an old mop wash all parts of the stall, especially the trough and manger, as well as the sides of the stall. Then put ft few pounds of stick sulphur in an old iron pot, and, stopping the stable as well as possible, burn it, so ns to fumigate the stable thoroughly, takingdue precautions against fire. It is a good plan to set the pot in a tub of water; then whitewash with lime and carbolic acid. This will protect them thoroughly. — Spirit of the Farm. Treatment of Sheep. There are many reasons why the few growers who still persist should abandon the habit or washing their sheep before sharing, and we know of not a single nrgument in its favor. The practice was inaugurated at an early day, and it is a relic of old times, when the wool shorn from the small flocks in the Eastern Rtatcs was largely used up at home. Then it was necessary to wash it either before or after shearing, to prepare it for card¬ ing or spinning. Those days are past, aud both the sheep and the owners ought to be glad of it. The yolk in a healthy fleece is nature’s preservation of the fibre. It is a soapy matter, with a strong potash base, resem¬ bling no other animal secretion ; it is, in fact, a soap, with more or less free oil. It preserves the elasticity of the fibre and should be left in the wool until it is wanted for manufacturing use. Manu¬ facturers well know that scoured wool, ln tlm< ‘’ bcCOmeS brltt,e and loses its clastlclt y> whlle '("washed retains all its good qualities indefinitely. It is doubt¬ ful if anybody ever saw- a moth in un- washed wool. It is, as a rule, free from all vermin. The percentage of yolk in healthy flocks of even grade is quite uni¬ form, but varying in different breeds from 25 per cent, in the Leicester and other coarse bree'ds, to 60 to 75 per cent, in the very finest Saxon, the bucks always carrying more than the ewes. The system of washing in cold water on the sheep’s back never results in a washcd flecce fit fov the manufacturer, but on!y t,le eradication of an unknown and uncertain part of the yolk, contained m flecce, which is thus changed into an unmerchantable commodity to be sold on its uncertain merits as to shrinkage. The name or designation of washed wool has ceased to have any charm, and the sooner the practice of washing is entirely aban¬ doned the better it will be for the sheep and their owners and the trade generally. — Wool Journal. lultrestliiK Eiptrlmrnti with Onta. Among other interesting experiments conducted by Prof. II. C. White, of the University farm in Athens, Ga., under the auspices of the State Commissioner, and recently reported upon, was one test¬ ing the effect of different manures under oats and of different top dressings. The plot selected was a section of an oat fidd 835 fc(,t lon «' and 133 fe( t wi,1c > containing in all 2 1-2 acres. A strip 825 £?ct long and 49 1-2 feet wide was ma- nured in the fall with well-rotted stable manure alone at the rate of 20 bushels per acre. A strip 825 feet long by 38 feet wide was manured with cotton seed a ' onc *' le rll * ( ‘ °f 20 bushels per acre. A strip 825 feet long by 49 1-2 feet wide was manured with commercial fertilizers (ammoniated) at the rate of 300 pounds per acre. The plot was divided into ten sections across the three strips, each sec¬ tion containing in all 1-4 acre, and sub- divided into three parts, a containing 3-32 acres; h containing 2-32 acres, and e containing 3-32 acres. The top dressings ( includin K cotton-seed meal, acid phos- phate. nitrite of soda, sulphateofam- monia an(1 TOuria te of potash) wore ap- I’ lied at the rate of 100 l ,ounds P er acre u P on each section on the same da y> im - mediately preceding a shower. The conclusions arrived at, according to the ref:ults P res€nted in a table accom- P an y in g the re P ort - and not given here ^ or * ar ^ s P ac c> are: First—Where no top dressing was ap- P bcd stab * e manure gave best results, commercial fertilizer next best, and cot¬ ton seed much lower results. Second —Cotton seed docs not appear to be a good manure for oats, either with or without subsequent top dressing. Third —The largest yield, which was 1,518 pounds of grain and 2,742 pounds straw per acre, was obtained by ma- nuring with stable manure and top dress- ing with nitrate of soda. By manuring with stable manure and top-dressing with muriate of potash, wore gained 1,876 pouuds»of grain 8,820 pounds of straw per acre. By ma¬ nuring with stable manure and top-dress, ing with kainit, were obtained 1,250 pounds of grain and 2,570 pounds of straw per acre. Sulphate of ammonia ap¬ plied as a top-dressing with stable raa- nurc gave 1,086 pounds of grain and 2,- 406 pounds of straw per acre. Skillful full Ivn (loll. Skillful cultivation should be the aim of every one who raises plants and crops. To make gardening and farming profita¬ ble, it is necessary to have something in return for every stroke that is made, and for every dollar invested. Even when only a few house plants are cared for, we expect to see growth and bloom in repay for our care; if not, our interest would soon be lost. We devote an acre Of 01 land * an to t0 a a certain certain cron- crop, it it cost, costs for f th the season the interest for a year on the in- vestment made for it, beside the expense of preparation manuring, cult.vating, narvesttng, marketing, etc. Our crop is but half what it might be, or what good cultivation has proved what might ° bo obtained. ,, . , The rl „ „mo . ond , oxpn,™ o( . prt para ion, of sowing, and of cultiva- tion, have been as much as for a full crop, and the cost of harvesting and oth¬ er expenses but little less; but a part of the land was too wet, and the planting could not be done early, as it should have been, and on the same account the manure that was applied, though there was not half enough of that, could only produce partial effects; and so,from these combined causes, we get back for our season’s work, perhaps the expenses and a little more. The interest and expenses were $50 on the acre, and our returns all told, amounted to $60, giving a profit of $10. At this rate per acre on the whole place, with what it provides for tho table besides, with great economy, one may perhaps, live along for awhile, and the land is growing poorer, and the val¬ ue of the first investment is lowered— the place is running down. But at a lit¬ tle more expense in preparation, perhaps $10 on the acre, enough to insure tho best results, making the whole $60 in¬ stead of $50 as before, the crop is twice as great and perhaps further-enhanced in value by its superior quality, All of this success then, is profit—$60 or more, in¬ stead of $10—an amount that makes prosperity and success instead of failure. — Vicks Magazine. llouseliold Hints. Tough meat is made tender by lying a few minutes in vinegar and water. Cold tea should be saved for your vine¬ gar barrel. It sours easily and gives color and flavor. To soften the hardest old boots or shoes, apply the fat from roast fowls with a cloth or brush. If a child offends table propriety, promptly send him out of the room and let hint take his meal alone. Paint brushes may be cleaned perfectly by putting into soft-soap for a day or two, when the paint can be washed out. Care should be taken that the soap does not extend up over where the bristles are fastened, as it will cause them to fall out. Kccipvs. Stirred Bread .—One quart flour, two large teaspoonfuls baking powder, two teaspoonfuls salt, two eggs and sweet milk to make a stiff batter; bake in a loaf in a biscuit tin. To be broken, not cut, and eaten hot. Water may be used instead of milk by adding a spoonful of butter. French Fried Potatoes .—Pare the potatoes, cut in blocks an inch long and a little larger than a lead pencil, soak in ice water an hour, drain and dry with a towel, have as much hot lard as you would to fry doughnuts, put in as many of the potato strips as will go in without overlaying and fry until a golden brown, stirring them up often that they may brown.evenly, take out into a colander and dust lightly with salt. Salad Dressing .—One heaping tea¬ spoon each of salt and mustard, two tablespoons of thick, sweet cream, one tablespoon of butter, three of sugar, one- third of a cup of vinegar, the well-beaten yolks two eggs; add mustard to eggs, beat well; add sugar, salt, cream; stir all well together and place over the fire, and stir constantly until it thickens; add vinegar last, pouring the dressing over the salad and mixing it well. This is especially nice for cabbage salad, but can be used on other salads also. Brown Bread Pudding .—Six ounces of stnl. brown b^dcrumb., .lx ounc. fresh butter, four eggs (the yolks and whites whisked separately), onc-half ounce powdered cinnamon, one-half pound coarsest brown sugar. Cream the butter, then mix well with the sugar till quite smooth, add the well beaten eggs, raid stir in gradually the other ingredi¬ ents. Steam the pudding for two hours or even more (it cannot be too much done). When turned out pour mol ted cherry jam over it and serve hot. Barricaded. Champraineau orders a cab and gives his direction to the driver. As they are about to turn into a certain street he opens the window with precipitation and cries out: “I say, driver don’t take this street.” “Why not? Tire street is free.” “No it isn’t; it’s barricaded, I have a creditor who lives just below .”—French Fan. To Keep Boots I’lluble. A mixture of mutton tallow and wood- chuck oil is excellent for keeping boots pliable and excluding water, If the boots have become thoroughly water- soaked fill them over night with dry oats, which will absorb much of the moisture from the inside and at tlie same time swell so as tc keep the hoof in shape and prevent ii* shrinking, .LUTINGS FOR THE FURIOUS.

Tim Japanese House. The first sight of a Japanese house is disappointing; it is unsubstantial in an- 1 pearanee, and there is a meagerness of „ color. Being unpainted, it suggestspov- erty; and this absence of paint, with the gray and often rain-stained color of the boards, leads one to compare it with sira- ilar unpainted buildings at home-and these are usually barns and sheds in the country, and the houses of the poorer people in the city. With one’s eye ac- customed to the bright contrasts of American houses, with their white, or light, painted surfaces; rectangular win- dows, black from the shadows within, wtth glints of light reflected from the glass; front door with its pretentious 1 steps and .. portico; red chimney warm sur- mounting all, and a general trimness of appearance outside, which is by no means always correlated with like conditions within—one is too apt at the outset to , torm a loW estimate of Japanese house. , a An American finds it difficult indeed to consider such a structure as a dwelling, when so many features are absent that go to make up a dwelling at home—no doors ; or windows such as he had been familiar with; no attic or cellar; no chimneys and within no fireplace, and of course no cus¬ tomary mantel; no permanently inclosed rooms; ___ and, j as for t furniture, no , beds , ! or tables, chairs or similar articlcs-at least, SO it appears 11 at first sight. p One of the chief _ points of difference in a Japanese r . house, compared i with , as ours, lies in the treatment of partitions and outside ... walls. ,, _ In houses , these , our are solid and permanent, and, when the frame is built, the partitions form part of the framework. In the Japanese house M i 1 on the contrary, there are two or more sides that have no permanent walls. ! Within, also, there are but few partitions which have similar stability; J in their ! , ! stead arc slight sliding-screens, which run in appropriate ______ . . in . the .. floor . i grooves ! and overhead. These grooves mark the limit Of each room. ihe screens may be opened by sliding them back, or they may be entirely removed, thus throwing a number of rooms into one great apart- \ j ,k « **”« th » M. a boUSr ma ^ ^ un ff °l >en sunlight I and air.

A llagc for Tattooing. A gentleman writing from Yokohama says: “The Japanese have acquired such a passion for being tattooed that a law h as been passed forbidding the marking °f natives. The law does not apply to foreigners. It is quite the thing now to tattooed, and elaborate designs are traced on many travelers as an indelible reminiscence of their sojourn in the east. The sons of the Prince of Wales, when here a few years ago, were tattooed, and several Russian dukes and sprigs of no¬ bility have undergone the process. The son of Longfellow recently submitted to a very elaborate tattoo decoration, and for more than three months was in the hands of the tattooe r, who did an amount of work on him during this time that is usually spread over a period of three or four years. This caused, of course, a severe nervous shock which he was only ' able to withstand by application of i hypodermic injections of morphine.”— 1 Ron Jork Tribune Eight Subject^ The inventor of photography was Matthew Boulton, who died in 1809. lie took some picture! previous to 17'Jl.
