United States. Mail: A young post-master of a village post offics was hard at work when a gentle tap was heard upon tbe door, and in stepped a bashful maiden of 16, with a messy order, which she de sired cashed. She handed it to the official with a bashful smile, who, after closely examining it handed her the money it called for.

At ths same time he asked her if she had read what wa written on Kie margin of the order. "No, 1 have not," she for I cannot make it out. Will you please read it forme." The young postmaster read as follows "1 send you $3 and a doz-sn kiBses." Glancing at the bashful girl he said: "Now, I hav paid you the money, and I suppose you want ths kisses." "Yea," said she, "if he has sent me any kisses I want them, too." it is hardly necessary to state that the balance of the order was promptly paid, and in a ecientlfio manner at that and eminently sat isfactory to the country maiden foi she went out of the office smacking her lips as if there was ataete upon them she never encountered before. After she arrived home she remarked to her mother: "Eh, mother, but this postofh'ce system of ours is a great thing, developing more and more every year, and each now feature added seems to be the best. Jimmy sent me a dozen kisses along with the money order and the postmaster gave ma twenty.

Keep your stock in order by feeding Hawkeye Condition Powders. Too much attention can cot be given toward the care of horGes and cattle, especially during the win tar season. Many people will wonder why their stock does not improve faster, why their cattle do not appear fat and fcleek in the Spring, Though they feed thcua hay and grain in liberal quantities, yet their weight does not increase, neither are they in a healthy condi tion. Stock should bo watered rp-ularly and be given all they need as it is a generally admitted fact that water materially increases tlesh and allays fevers and distempers. Said a farmer to his thrifty neighbor: "Why is it that your horses, cattle and hogs fatten so rapidly and you lose so few by disease and death Baidhe: "I always have a few packages of Hawk-eye Condition Powders on hand and as often as once a week they are fed a portion and if I notice any that appear unhealthy 1 give them a larger quantity, feeding it to them oftener.

Th result is I lose none by death; my animals are always in a healthy condition, and buyers pay the highest prices when they are sold. 1 find a small investment in Hawkeye Condition Powders the most protitable of any I make." everything demanded by the peo: pie and that of the best quality.

Noticing a hippopotamus in Bar-num's museum that looked deject' ed, Taylor spoke to it in English, but the beast did not move its head, Then going to another comer of the oage, he said in Arabic, "I know you, come here to me." The beast at once turned its head and listened. when the animal came to him and nibbed its head asrainst the bars. and looked in the race ef the speaker with evident delight, it was probably home-sick, and a sound it had heard in its nativo land was astlv comforting.

A lame ox, in Gloucester, had been turned out to graaa, but he broke pasture and made his way to blacksmith's shop.
