Mail Service of Berlin.

'You Americans think you can beat the
world for quick dispatch of business"
said a recent arrival from Germany the
other day, $50 you would probably be sur
prised to know that to citizen of Berlin
your local postal delivery seems intolerably
slow. l know that your active and eff
Gent postmaster does all he can with the
material and funds at his disposal, but
would like to show him how the proverbi-
ally slow going German has improved ON
American methods. In Berlin you see big
mail wagons rafting through the streets
at all hours, gathering letters from letter
boxes and delivering them at the branch
stations. Inside each wagon is an official
with sorting table, on which he sorts the
letters as rapidly as they are delivered to
him from the boxes. Those for out of town
are all thrown together and re-sorted at
the main office, but those for the branch
stations are put in separate boxes, and by
the time the gathering trip is ended they
are often all ready for delivery" New

Mimetism in Birds Eggs.

1t is by no means unusual to find
thrushes' eggs quite destitute of spots,
globular in form, and no larger than a
marble; while others are taken with all the
marks and spots agglomerated into q
blotch at the larger end. But by far the
most extraordinary markings In BIRDS eggs
are due, without doubt to mimetism. The
writer has guillemot's egg upon which
are depicted most faithfully, in black and
sepia, the numbers 10 and and the word
Joe. These are by no means hieroglyphics,
but are as well executed as many school
boys figures and writing. Upon the same
egg are also to be seen rude sketches Of
heads of several gFptesque igures.-Hard-

When Walnut Was Cheap.

Workmen engaged in tearing away the
rear of the old DR.. Perry residence on West
Ohio street, were much surprised to find
that all of the corner posts were black wal
nut. The posts were four inches square
and in perfect state of preservation The
rear of the house was built in the early set
Element of this city, and the front was
added many years later. DR.. Perry, who
built the rear part of the house, came to
Indianapolis from Virginia, and was one of
the first physicians to begin the practice in
this city. In his day he was known as the
"Indian DOCTOR" because his remedies con-
sisted almost entirely of herbs, which he
gathered himself from the woods. The
corner posts are now SO valuable, owing to
the scarcity of walnut timber, that they
would pay for all the ''piece' stuff for a
building of the size of that just torn away

Remarkable Rescue.

Mrs Michael Curtain, Plainfeld, ILL.,, makes the
statement that she caught cold, which settled on
her lungs; she was treated for month by her

she was a hopeless victim of consumption and
that no medicine could cure her. Her druggist
suggested DR.. Kings New Discovery for Consump-

herself benefited from first dose. She continued
its use and after taking ten bottles, found herself

A Skirt Dancers Secrets.

Iwear eight skirts every night. On each
one are twenty yards of lace, half yard in
depth, so that I carry 100 yards of lace
every time appear in skirt dance. Then
with the tights and other little pieces of
wearing apparel carry a heavy weight.
Ny skirts are never starched or washed
Just as soon as they become dirty they are
thrown away and new ones are bought.
My lace bill is a large one, as it embraces
many different colors.
never have them starched, because they
hang much easier and great deal closer
to the legs. If they were starched some
people would think wore hoops.-Violet

Talk While Eating.

Talk and be merry while you eat. Talk
ing while eating will naturally necessitate
eating more slowly. The children need not
expect to monopolize all the time at table
with their talk, but if they dine alone let
them tell their own little experiences and
laugh over their own adventures. If they
dine with their elders it might be well fol-
papa and mamma to address some OF Their
conversation to the children. This not
only aids in digestion Of the meal, but aids
the little ones in becoming self possessed
and self reliant-Dora Harvey Vrooman

HOW SWEET THE LIGHT

How sweet the light that lifts today
On brackcn, burn and meadow,
The light that CLEANS sweeter gold
Because of some time shadow.
And tops Of far off flashing pines
To skylands blue are lifting,
Whilst thro' the woods a murEluroas eain'
Of restless winds is shifting.
How sweet the earth! How glad the light
What breaths of balm are flowing,
For all the flowers of the field
Their deep delights are sowing.
How dare we grudge life's little dole
OF pain and care and duty,
Beset by all the splendrous sheen
OF earth's transcendent beauty.
So hush thee, weary, harassed SOUL
Forget today thy sorrow;
Earth cen will ope her beauty book
