The Postoffice Department at Washington has issued an order in regard to renters of boxes, which provides that Postmasters at all post offices not located in Government buildings are hereby ordered to call in all outstanding box keys at their respective post offices, and redeem ull keys as shall be returned within thirty days-from date of call, upon which a deposit has been made, and not forfeited under the provisions of Section 449, Postal Laws and Regulations, edition of 1893. Provided, that no money shall be given iu exchange for any key until the person presenting it shall have substantiated his claim for a deposit by the presentation of a valid key deposit receipt therefor'from the Postmaster or.some one of his predecessors, or by the affidavit of the claimant.

THE GRAND JURY ADJOURNS. Two Indictments Found—Reports of Committees Appointed. After being in session three days the Grand Jury adjourned about 4 o’clock yesterday afternoon. Two indictments were found. No action was taken in the case of P. B. Fitzsimmons, who claimed he had been defrauded by the officers of the county. In the case of C. W. French; charged with having obtained money under false pretenses, no bill was found, the chance of conviction being small and the party being out of the State the expense in the case would be considerable. The committee appointed to éxamine the County Hospital reported that they found it in a clean and good condition, with 108 patients, but found insufficient accommodations for female patients for want of room, and recommended the erection of a small addition to the female ward. The committee appointed to examine the books of the county officers reported that they found them correct and kept ina neat manner. . The committee appointed to examine the Court House, county jail and County Treasurer’s office building, reported that they found them in firstclass condition, with the exception of the floors in the hall and kitchen of the jail, and recommended. the laying of concrete floors in both places. The thanks of the Grand Jury were extended to District Attorney P. T. Riley for the able and efficient manner in which he conducted the business before them.

Bringing Out Borax Front the Rifts In Death Valley. The deadliest ocoupation for men or horses is teaming in the borax fields of Death valley of the great American desert, There the longest teams in the world are employed. Scientista declare that the flerce. heat in thig narsow rent in the cracked surface of the earth is not equaled elsewhere in the world. Where the thermometer often registers 140 degrees of heat unrelieved by even a breath of air, where men sleep at night in hollow ditches filled with water in order to avoid dying from collapse, the necessity for the longest teams of mules and horses ever harnessed to draw the great borax laden wagons is apparent. The desert team is the longest in the world, and the percentage of deaths among the horses is greater than that of domestic animals used in any other calling. Forty to 60 horses are. often hitched to one of the lumbering vehicles in which the borax is slowly dragged across the sun baked alkali plains. The average life of even the sturdiest horses used in this work is six months, for in this length of time they either pbecome broken winded, consumptive from inhaling the deadly dust of the desert or are driven crazy by the frightful heat. A man there, though protected by the wagon awnings from the sun’s rays, cannot go an hour without water without danger of death, When a team breaks down and the water supply becomes depleted, the men ride on at top speed for the nearest source of supply, and often when they return they find that the remaining horses, made mad by thirst, have broken from the harness and dashed off only to find death in the desert. The borax wagons weigh 8,000 pounds and carry 20,000 pounds at a taining hundreds of gallons of water. The horses are harnessed in pairs, the trained ones in the lead, and the next in intelligence just ahead of the tongue, while the unruly and the youngsters are hitched between. The nigh leader hae a bridle with the strap from the left jaw shorter than the other,-and from the bridle runs a braided rope, which the driver, perched on the wagon seat, holds in ‘his right hand. The rope is called the ‘‘jerk line’’ and is a little longer than the team, which load. Behind each wagon is a tank con. 48° ROOFING, SIDING, OBILIN.

Yawning Fishes, It is not generally known that. fish yawn. The writer saw a turbot yawn twice and a cod once, the latter being by any animal of its size. The yawn of a turbot, being something not 6ommonly seen, deserves particular description. A turbot’s mouth is twisted on one side, rather as if it had belonged toa round fish which some one had acoidentally trod on and squashed half flat. The yawn begins at the lips, which opens as if to suck in water. Then the jaws become distended, and it is seen that this is going to be a real, genuine submarine fish’s yawn. But the yawn on, works through the back of its distending the plates of.the skull and oomes ont at the gills, which open, show the red inside, are inflated for a moment, and then, with a kindof stretching shiver of ita back, the fish flattens out again, until, if unusually bored. ‘ relieves itself by another yawn, *, The ills of Women. ‘Constipation, causes more than half the ills of women.

THE GRAND JURY ADJOURNS. Two Indictments Found—Reports of Committees Appointed. After being in session three days the Grand Jury adjourned about 4 o’clock yesterday afternoon. Two indictments were found. No action was taken in the case of P. B. Fitzsimmons, who claimed he had been defrauded by the officers of the county. In the case of C. W. French; charged with having obtained money under false pretenses, no bill was found, the chance of conviction being small and the party being out of the State the expense in the case would be considerable. The committee appointed to éxamine the County Hospital reported that they found it in a clean and good condition, with 108 patients, but found insufficient accommodations for female patients for want of room, and recommended the erection of a small addition to the female ward. The committee appointed to examine the books of the county officers reported that they found them correct and kept ina neat manner. . The committee appointed to examine the Court House, county jail and County Treasurer’s office building, reported that they found them in firstclass condition, with the exception of the floors in the hall and kitchen of the jail, and recommended. the laying of concrete floors in both places. The thanks of the Grand Jury were extended to District Attorney P. T. Riley for the able and efficient manner in which he conducted the business before them.

Bringing Out Borax Front the Rifts In Death Valley. The deadliest ocoupation for men or horses is teaming in the borax fields of Death valley of the great American desert, There the longest teams in the world are employed. Scientista declare that the flerce. heat in thig narsow rent in the cracked surface of the earth is not equaled elsewhere in the world. Where the thermometer often registers 140 degrees of heat unrelieved by even a breath of air, where men sleep at night in hollow ditches filled with water in order to avoid dying from collapse, the necessity for the longest teams of mules and horses ever harnessed to draw the great borax laden wagons is apparent. The desert team is the longest in the world, and the percentage of deaths among the horses is greater than that of domestic animals used in any other calling. Forty to 60 horses are. often hitched to one of the lumbering vehicles in which the borax is slowly dragged across the sun baked alkali plains. The average life of even the sturdiest horses used in this work is six months, for in this length of time they either pbecome broken winded, consumptive from inhaling the deadly dust of the desert or are driven crazy by the frightful heat. A man there, though protected by the wagon awnings from the sun’s rays, cannot go an hour without water without danger of death, When a team breaks down and the water supply becomes depleted, the men ride on at top speed for the nearest source of supply, and often when they return they find that the remaining horses, made mad by thirst, have broken from the harness and dashed off only to find death in the desert. The borax wagons weigh 8,000 pounds and carry 20,000 pounds at a taining hundreds of gallons of water. The horses are harnessed in pairs, the trained ones in the lead, and the next in intelligence just ahead of the tongue, while the unruly and the youngsters are hitched between. The nigh leader hae a bridle with the strap from the left jaw shorter than the other,-and from the bridle runs a braided rope, which the driver, perched on the wagon seat, holds in ‘his right hand. The rope is called the ‘‘jerk line’’ and is a little longer than the team, which load. Behind each wagon is a tank con. 48° ROOFING, SIDING, OBILIN.

Yawning Fishes, It is not generally known that. fish yawn. The writer saw a turbot yawn twice and a cod once, the latter being by any animal of its size. The yawn of a turbot, being something not 6ommonly seen, deserves particular description. A turbot’s mouth is twisted on one side, rather as if it had belonged toa round fish which some one had acoidentally trod on and squashed half flat. The yawn begins at the lips, which opens as if to suck in water. Then the jaws become distended, and it is seen that this is going to be a real, genuine submarine fish’s yawn. But the yawn on, works through the back of its distending the plates of.the skull and oomes ont at the gills, which open, show the red inside, are inflated for a moment, and then, with a kindof stretching shiver of ita back, the fish flattens out again, until, if unusually bored. ‘ relieves itself by another yawn, *, The ills of Women. ‘Constipation, causes more than half the ills of women.
