1t is estimated that sixty thousand
northerners wintsred in Florida the
past season, and most of them are now
coming northward by "easy stages, !"
according to the condition of the cath
er. New Orleans received visits from
many of the Floridian guests, and an
unusually large number of others,
while the Hot Springs, various points
on the gulf, the Southern Atlantic cit
les, and the interior of the Carolinas,
received their usual quotas. Califor-
MIA, Colorado and other places farther
north had a fair show of winter tour
lists and persons-sa rch Of health.
Ihe-w1nter hegira from the north has
become more marked than ever before,
and will continue to increase, as trans
portation becomes more favorable and
southern living and accommodations be-
come cheaper and better. Nothing but
hard times will check these birds OF
passage.

The introduction of two-cent letter
postage has had the effect of reducing
the demand for postal cards in a mark
ed degree. For five years past the
sales of postal cards have steadily in
creased at an average annual rate OF
fourteen per cent. whereas, since two
cent postage was adopted, there has
been decided falling off in the con-
sumption as compared with previous
years and the department has notified
Congress that the original estimates for
the cost of manufacturing postal cards
during the next fiscal year may safely
be reduced by one-eight. The falling
off in the demand for postal cards is
more than compensated for by the in
creased sales of postage stamps and
stamped envelopes, which have grown
in amount eighteen and twenty-five per
cent, respectively, since last July. Elk
perience has thus indicated the claim
that reduction of letter postage would
lead to great increase in the number OF
letters sent through the mails, both by
encouraging more frequent correspond
ence, and by leading to the substitution
OF stamped envelopes for postal cards
and it is already evident that the de-
partment will speedily reach self-sup-
porting basis again.
