-- mt pATCel feature, Which HAS recently
been added to the postal system in Great
Britain and Ireland, is an attempt to per-
form in that country q service which in
this is done almost entirely by the express
system, the difference being that the parcel
arrangement does the work great deal
cheaper, Any package not longer thar
three feet six inches, and of not more than
seven pounds weight, If secured with cords,
may be sent by mail at cost Of 6 cents
for one pound, IL cents for three pounds,
Is cents for five pounds, and a cents for
seven pounds, Payment must be made in
advance and by stamps. The parcels, on
arriving at their destination in large towns,
are taken in vans and delivered at the door
Of dwellings or business houses, just as cx-
press packages are in this country, Regu-
lar mail matter has the preference over
them in the delivery, Lur it is thought
when the system gets to working smooth,
the delivery will be almost it not quite rs
prompt as with letters. The system was
very literally patrOnzod the first day It
went into operation, showing ts adaptation
to the wants Of the people. Samples of
goods presents, jars of butter, conserves,
eggs, groceries, mea, vegetables and cloth

Making plaster Casts.
Toronto NALL

SIS the mask Of the human face ever
taken from life!''
Yes, it is done. We have taken
such mask several times, though we
dislike it and will probably refuse to do
so again. The plaster is put on in three
sections separately; the space around
the mouth forming one section, and q
line reaching from the center of the
forehead down to the tip Of the nose
dividing the rest Of the face into two
sections. A small pipe is passed
through TO the nostrils tor breathing
purposes. The plaster is likely to stick
to any hairs ON the face and hurts deli
cate skin. Our charge for this cast Is
over eight times as much az for hand,
SO you see we regard it as a matter re-
quiring much care.
II suppose you are called upon to
make masks Of dead mems facesg''
"Yes, and busts, too. The cost OF
these is rather high, SIS for the mask
and $50 for the bust, but we have had o
number OF calls in that department of
our work. This operation requires more
time than others,a half day being needed
for applying and removing the plaster
and then three days more for the mask
and a week for the bust.
Are there ever cases of 'monstrosi-
ties applying for casts of themselves y
"Well, l don't know that you call
this a case of monssrosity; but one wo-
man recently had q log taken in plaster
Just above the knee which measured
twenty-five inches. 1t was to be put in
q showcase. she said"

A New Dodge in New York.

But let me tell you a curious fact Of
which you are probably not aware. /
could name dozen or so tn ronghly re-
spectacle dressmakers' establishments in
New York where the whole Of the busi-
ness is not dresslnaking. Some OF the
profits of these places come from the
sale Of beverages. The love OF conyivi-
ality is not confined to men alone. Men
have their saloons where they can 20
every time they feel inclined to do SO.
But a lady who wants a glass OF cham
payne or brandy julep, what is she to
do? She cannot take 1t in her own
house, because the servants would talk,
or the children, being around, would
see the bad example, and no lady can,
Of course, go to any barroom or restau-
rant to drink. Her refuge, then. is the
convenient dressmak er's.
"The bills sent in by the modiste,
therefore, as sou can readily see, are moi
always rs exorbitant as they seem. The
husband exclaims at the outrageous
charge Of S400 for dress that he Can
see nothing extraordinary about. BuI
the wife knows, though she cannot ad-
nit, that $500 ON that bill represents
champagne, and so on. The drinks are
occasionally given gratis, but you may
be sure that they appear In some form in
the bill.
A lawyer who has had several cases
which he has compromised very cleverly
for one Of these big dreesmalsers was
asked about this, and he said: "Oi
course you won't quote me, but there is
great deal Of truth in what you say.
l know that my client, in detailing her
business, had told me that she could not
get ON at all If she did not satisfy the
demands Of her customers in this way.
They would leave her and 60 TO the dry

Reflections.

In the first place, does ID pay to be
continually finding fault? 1t is very
easy matter to pick flaws in any piece Of
work, for no ones work is perfect.
FauIt-finding often becomes chronic and
grows on man just as an evil habit
does, increasing day by day. There is
nothing so disagreeable as to visit a home
where fault-finding is continually going
on; where, at the breakfast, dinner and
tea table, no pleasant word is spoken,
but instead each one finding fault with
the Others for some trifiing error. do
not mean that errors should not he re-
buked, but when the evening twilight
is gathering, when the work Of the day
is over, then kindly call the little ones
around you and gently and solemnly tell
them OF their wrongs, and see If you are
not much better repaid than if the little
heads had dropped all day at the angry
glances and frcwns on your face. There
are many things every day that annoy
us, but don't make life sadder by finding
fault. The world might seem much
pleasanter at all times II we would for
get to fret, frown and find fault.

Origin OF the Word BOSS. /"

The Gentlemen's Magazine gives the
following history Of this word; Boss"
or ITO boss" was, according to some
philologists, originally introduced into
the new world by Irish or British i'm
migrants, from the Gaelic bos, the hand.
But this is erroneous. The word is de-
rived from the Dutch settlers who first
colonized New Amsterdam. first called
New York by the English when the col
ouy changed masters BY coming into the
possession Of the British government.
Baas in the Dutch language signifies a
master or the foreman of workshop.
Perhaps sv-u the El.gli~hs speaking
population vf the States, If they had
known that "boss" was no other than
Dutch for master, might in their repub-
lican pride, have repudiated the word
and invented another.
