The convention, the press; bureau story says, will have nothing to do except make the nomination un-: animously. There is no doubt but what the story was inspired at the white house.

ON RURAL ROUTES Postmaster General Issues an Order Prohibiting Its j Transportation. ORDER IS NOW EFFECTIVE.! WILL HAVE A FAR REACHING EFFECT AND MEETS THE Ap. . f nUVAL Uh A LAHUt iNUmDcn OF PEOPLE. If a man on a rural rotite wanted a half pint or thereabouts of "red liquor" and asked his rural carrier to bring it out for him, the latter, even though willing, would not dare to accommodate him as the Department has issued an order forbidding the carryin of liquor. Postmaster General Meyer has issued an order which lias a direct bearing upon the Prohibition movement. The order is as follows: "It is hereby ordered that it shall be a condition of any contract hereafter entered into for carrying the mails upon star, screen wagon, messenger or special service route, that the contract carrier shall not transport intoxicating liquor from one point to another upon such route while in the performance of mail service." The order will become effective at once in many sections of the country where it is necessary to install new and supplementary service. It is believed that, this order will have a far reaching effect and will meet the approval of a large number of people, judging by the enormous number of complaints that have been sent to the department."

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL. Few People Know How Useful It Is in Preserving Health and Beauty. Cost Nothing To Try. Nearly everybody knows that charcoal is the safest and most efficient disinfectant and purifier in nature, but few realize its value when taken into the human system for the same cleausing purpose. : Charcoal is a remedy that the more you take of it the better; it is not a drua; at all. but simply absorbs the gases and impurities always present in the stomach and intestines and carries them out of the system. j Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking, drinking or after eating on-, ions and other odorous vegetables. j Charcoal effectually clears and improves the complexion, it whitens the teeth and further acts as a natural and eminently safe cathartic. It absorbs the injurious gases which collect in the stomach and bow- ! els; it disinfects the mouth and throat from the poison of catarrh. All druggists sell charcoal in one form or another, but probably the best charcoal and the most for the money is in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges; they are composed of the lines t powdered Willow charcoal, and other harmless antiseptics in tablet, form or rather in the form of large pleasant tasting lozenges, the charcoal being mixed with honey. The daily use of these lozenges will soon tell in a much improved condition of the general health, better complexion, sweeter breath and purer blood, and the beauty of it is that no possible harm can result from their continued use, but on the contrary, great benefit. A Buffalo physician, in speaking of the benefits of charcoal, says: i advise Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to all patients suffering from gas in the stomach and bowels, and to clear the complexion and purify the breath, mouth and throat; I also bel.eve the liver is greatly benefited by the daily use of them; they cost but twenty-five cents a box at drug stores, and although in some sense a patent, prepa ration, yet I believe 1 get more ami better charcoal in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges than in any of the ordinary , charcoal tablets."

If Heads Turn Ten Times In Sequenca, Theory Says the Odds Are Against Another Head, Yet Chance Says the Odds on the Next Tost Are Even. A famous mathematician. Professor Kar! Pearson, once spent the jrreater part of bis vacation deliberate'- tossins a shilling aud making careful notes of how it fell. He spun the shilling 25.OO0 times, and a pupil of his. workIn? separately, spun a penny S.Ut times and also tested the drawing of 0.OM) tickets from a bag. It may seem strange that a learned professor should put himself to such an amount of trouble to demonstrate what every schoolboy who had ever tossed a coin already knew. Yet. as a matter of fact, few really do grasp the laws which govern such an apparently straightforward matter as the tossing of a coin. In the words of the arithmetician, the theory of "runs" that is, heads turnin up repeatedly or tails turning up repeatedly is precisely as follows: The chance of a head is one-half; of two heads following, is one-half multiplied by one-half that is. one-quarter; of three heads in succession, one half multiplied by one-half multiplied by one-half that Is, one-eighth. Now, what do you suppose is the chance of a run of eleven heads? It is safe to say that not many persons, however accustomed to tossing coins, have reasoned this out. The fact is that one "run" of eleven heads is on the average only to be expected in 2,018 sets of coin tossing. Although the man in the street mav

not have reckoned this, he is always quite positive that if. sny. a coin has fallen ten times head upward he is safe to start backiuK tails. He puts his money on tails turning up because, he says, it stands to sense that the run of hends can't continue. But does It? At the eleventh toss the head of the coin Is just as big as it ever was. What mysterious influence cau a past event, the tossing of ten heads, have on a future one which has no link with them namely, the tossing of the coin the eleventh time? Surely each toss is an event by itself, as Sir Hiram Maxim said of a game at rou lette at Monte Carlo: "It Is a pure, unadulterated question of chance, and it Is not influenced in the least by anything which has ever taken place before or that eTer will, take place in the future." A nasty piece of plain speaking this for the cranks who had published schemes for "breaking the bank" and whose plans depended entirely on the theory that if one game ended in a win for "red" the chances against it ending "red" a second time were less, a third time less still, and so on. This of course would be a sound enough argument provided that you regard some dozens of games of roulette or tosses of a coin all as one continuous event. It Is quite safe, for instance, to offer beforehand big odds against a coin turning up heads ten times running. But in practice the public house loafer does not do this. What he does is to bet on each sepa- ; rate toss by. itself, thus defeating his ' own aims. The odds against a coin turning up heads eleven times are as has been shown, something like 2.000 to 1. But suppose you only start betting at the tenth toss. What are the odds against the eleventh toss again being a head? The odds, so far from being 2.O0O to I 1, are actually 1 to 1! To use an Irishitmi tlle odtU are even-that is to say, if you split up the eleven tosses into eleven separate events to be bet on separately your bets should be "even money" all thy time, however often heads turn up running. But If you view the eleven tosses as one combined event and you offer a preliminary bet against the whole eleven results being heads you will have to give gigantic odds. All this goes to prove the absolute uncertainty of gambling. The greatest mathematicians of the day cannot be certain how a coin will fall, so that the man of merely average abilities who stakes anything Important on the toss of a coin is allowing that part of , his fortune to pass entirely outside his control. Pearson's Weekly- j South Africa's tocusts. Millions aud millions of locusts settle, and millions and millions continue flying to settle farther on. They have been settling in myriads for a hundred miles and more, and yet enough are left flying to hide the sun. On the ground nothing can be seen but locusts.

As you walk through them a narrow wake Is left for a few seconds in your track where they have flown out of your way, and as they rise in thousands beore your feet the noise of their wings is like an electric power station.
