MEASUREMENTS FOR TUBE IIUYSTEM Ordered by Government with No Explanation Want a Reply at Once. That a tube system for the transporting of mail between the Richmond post office and the Pennsylvania station is a possibility of the future is tbe belief of some of the local poBt office clerks. This belief is borne out by an order from the postal authorities at Washington for surveys of the distance between the post office and the station. The order asks for the air line distance. The distance from the mailing platform of the federal building to the receiving platform of the station is also asked. Ahe air line measurement will be taken from the nearest corner of the federal building to the central part of the station. Postmaster Haas has been requested to send the information to Washington as soon as possible. Tbe order contained no inkling of the information desired, but Postmaster Haas says he would not be surprised if it meant the installation of the tube system. A dispatch from Washington recently stated that the next step in promoting the efficiency of the postal department would be the adoption of the pneumatic service. If the system is adopted It will mean the discontinuance of the wagon now used to carry the mails. The Indianapolis post officials have been asked to forward the same information to the Washington department.

An Eccentric Chemist. The Cavendish House estate, Clapham, takes its name from the home of tbe eccentric chemist, the Hon. Henry Cavendish, whose famous experiment for the determination of the earth's density, made In his Clapbnm garden, gained him the title of "the man who weighed the earth." Cavendish, who left over a million sterling on his death, in 1810, lived all alone at Cavendish House, carrying his craze for solitude to such an extent that, as Lord Brougham tells us, he refused to let himself be seen even by his servants and "used to order his dinner daily by a note left n the hall table, whence the housekeeper might take it.VLondon Mail.

Wonderful Feats of the Zulus In Conveying Verbal Message. Tae memory In savage or uncuitlrated peoples la often trained to a degree very surprising to those civilized men and women who have grown used to depending on the written much more than on the remembered word. The transmission of whole epic, like the "Iliad," by word of mouth no longer seems so incredible when you read of tbe feats of memory of which present day Zalus are capable. Those people, says Mr. Gibson in "The Story of the Zulus," nave no writing and are accustomed to transmit messages and record events by memory alone. This they can do because their mental Impressions are made especially distinct by reason of their acquired or inherited habit of giving undivided attention to the subject in hand. Communications between the British authorities and the Zulu kings were almost invariably conducted by means of verbal messages carried by natives. A certain ultimatum addressed by the British to Cetywayo was conveyed to hlra. not npon paper, but in the brain cells of the messengers whom he had rent eighty miles to receive It from the British commissioners. Although the document contained some 4.000 words and was accompa nled by much comment on the state of things it was desired to remedy, the whole was repeated to Cetywayo with perfect aecnracy.

Reminiscent. The author had written one successful story, and he never grew tired talking of It. "Don't you know," ald one of his friends to another one day, "Riter always reminds me of a pleased dog? That's odd. How does he?" "He's always wagging bis tale."

Utterly Wretched Nervous Prostration Long Endured Before Remedy was Found. Miss Minerva Reminser, Upper Bern. Pa , writes: "For several years I hno nervous prostration, and was utterly wretched. I lived on bread and beef tea because my stomach would not retain anything else. I took many remedies, but obtained no relief until 1 took Hood's Sarsaparllla. when I begiii to gain at once. Am now cured." Pure, rich blood makes good, strong nerves, and this Is why Hood's Sarsaparllla, which purines and enriches tlie blood, cures ?o many nervous diseases.
