Express Companies a Necessity.

For many years before the Post Ofice
Department made arrangements to car
ry letters to the mining hamlets on this
Coast, the Express Companies estaL-
lished their routes, contracted vita
stage-drivers, employed messengers to
carry their precious parcels all over tie
State and Coast, and pioneered the way
for the Postal Service. which came
along later.
If, at any time, the Express WAS q
hurtful rival to the Postal Service, it
was not made apparent when it was en-
acted that all letters carried by any per-
son over Q mail route should be covered
by the amount OF stamps required to
carry such letters through the mails,
foa the business of the Express Com
panies did not fall off. and the Govern
ment added so much more to the reve-
nue. by the sale of postage stamps.
People were willing, and are willing,
to pay extra for the accommodation
they get by having their letters carried
by Express, and they should certainly
have the opportunity to pay for that
which will best serve them while no
one else is injured by such patronage.
Every letter being severed by three
cent stamp for each half ounce, it is
difficult to see where the Government
con possibly be the loser by permitting
the Express Companies to carry such
letters for q slight additional tax, pre-
vided the patron thinks he can be bene-
flied by the outlay. What is true of
this Coast is true all over the country,
and therefore it seems very CuriOuS that
any Commission should recommend
that Express Companies be prohibited
from carrying letters, when the people
are so greatly benefited. If the Ex-
press Service is not necessity, the
people would not stand the extra ex-
pense; if it is necessity, ans the Gov
eminent derives its full revenue from
the letters carried. it should be allowed
to continue undisturbed.-Alia CaiHor-
mia.

The GREAT NEWSPAPER COUNTRY. -
Our great progress in journalism is
shown by the fact that in ITS there
were in the United States less than
forty newspapers and periodicals,
whose aggregate issue for that year
comprised ], 200 900 copies; now the
united press publishes over 900 daily
newspapers. more than 1000 weeklies,
and about 600 monthly publications; of
the dailies that existed in 1910, about
SOO ,OOO, 900 copies were struck off that
year; ofthe weeklies, about 600 900 600;
and of other serial publications, about
Ivy 200 900, amounting in all to $780,
0OO,0OO copies. And to sum the mat
ter up yet more forcibly, it must be
said that the United States publishes
more newspapers, with greater COM
blned circulation, than all the other
countries of the world can together
boast of having. The oldest paper Of
uninterrupted publication in this coun-
try is the Hartford Courant, which has
already attained the hoary age of 116
years. In regard to its last birthday
it plaintively says: eve believe that,
with the already announced death of q
New 81" mpshire paper, recently, at the
age of 116, we are left in condition of
obsclute insulation. The last of our
early contemporaries is gone"

Signing Their Names.

Every marriage Is registered when il
happens, and the date opens the mar.
riage entry. The names and surnames
of the couple married occupy its next
column. Then follow their ages. The
statistics of ages in reference to mar.
riage is important, and precise state.
ment of the years of persons welded is
much desired in all cases. But some
bridegrooms and many brides-object
or are unable to say how old they are;
while the clergy, it appears, often omit
to make exact inquiry on the point.
The registers, however, improve in this
respect. In 1858 the percentage OF en-
tries in which the precise ages of both
parties married were not given ap-
preached Al; in 1877 it had come down
to less than %. The description "of full
age" or "minor Is always used when
the exact age is not ascertained. We
may mention that from the year 1913
there was d growing tendency towards
early marriage until 1874, after which
year the proportional number of per
SONS married under age began to de-
clue. IL 1877, out of 1914 1852 couples
married, Is, 759 bridegrooms and AZ, 795
brides-or about twelfth of the former
and fifth of the latter-were under
age. The condition THAT is, whether
| of bachelorhood, spinsterhood or other
wise) follows the age in marriage
entry. The statistical tables framed
from the registers on ages and condi-
tons combined are of great interest.
The next succeeding space in the regis,
ter book belongs to rank or profession;
the next to residence; and the last two
| columns are filled with the names and
occupations of the fathers of the couple.
Every marriage entry must, of course,
be signed by the persons married. We
will pause u moment to notice the valu-
able Information as to the progress of
elementary education which is gained
by Il regular enumeration of the sigma
lures by mark affixed to the registers.
1t is satisfactory to learn that the
marksmen and markswomen are dimin-
fishing, though slowly. OF 1888, 704 per
sons married in 1877, 70, 237 signed the
register by mark; 29,707 of the number
being men and 4O,53O being women.
These figures look formidable, but they
represent amelioration. Some quarter of
a century earlier the proportion OF those
who did not write their names to those
married was about double that above
expressed. On the part of the women
improvement has been more rapid than
on that of the men, though. IS the mum.
bers quoted show, the male sex is still
the better educated of the two. Ten
years hence, when the elementary edu-
cation acts now in force begin to affect
these records, the diminution in the
number of marks will doubtless be
great and steady. The registration
mark is still the ancient signum crucis,
though few who ailix it to entries know
what 1t once meant. Perhaps nearly as
few of those who, according to modern
usage, speak Of" signing" their names,
consider that the expression can in
strictness be applied only to the marks
mon, since it implies the substitution
of sign or mark for subscription it.
