was to keep the logs from drying up,
as they were to be made into splits for
making baskets. We did not have
time to stop and see the whole process.
One of the funniest and most laugh
able was a team stalled at one of the
crossings of the OHIO and Mississippi
railroad. not tar from the Union Depot.
The grade was very steep where the
street cars had to cross. You know
IalIof those street railroads have double
tracks. Just as the team got to this
steep place they stalled on one of the
tracks, and there they were and there
they were likely to stay. just then an
electric car came alongside and stop
ped and hitched a chain to the end of
the wagon tongue and then to the hind
end of the car. Just then the motor
man let on the electricity and you just
ought to have seen how quick that car
jerked that team of horses and wagon
out of its way. I never knew before
that they could make lightning do SO
many things.
Another thing that interested me was
the fire department. Every night and
morning we passed in going and COM
ing a fire engine house. One morning
we saw all of the men sitting around,
so we stopped and talked with them a
few minutes. They were kind enough
to invite US to come in and look at their
engine, and it was a most splendid
looking thing, painted and gilded with
beautiful pictures on different parts. /
didn't wonder the men loved their en-
gine. One day a friend and l were
passing one of those institutions. This
friend said, .Let's go in and see how
those horses act" AS we went in the
en- gine stood in the middle of the room;
just back of the engine room were the
horses eating hay, but they had their
harness all On. My friend said, ''When
that pointer gets to certain figure it
will give the alarm by ringing that big
gong you see up there As we stood
and watched the pointer as it reached
the figures, such a crash as it made.
and at the first sound every horse came
dashing to the engine, each horse right
to his own place. Nc one had spoken
or touched them and there they stood.
The men got up and went to them and
hitched them in all right. After walk
ing around few times, they unhitched
the horses, and each horse walked back
to his own stall. All of those horses
are under perfect discipline; each horse
knows his own place just as good as
the men do theirs. tell you there is
everything in training yes. sir, it's
all in knowing how. 7, P, r.

The Royal Baking Powder is proven by actual tests

Collection and Delivery Of Mai,

Postmaster Harlow Of st. Louis
has made his report o. I test of the
house to house collection and de-
livery mail boxes to the department at
Washington. One test was maize in
the eastern portion of the city, 800
boxes having been put up. 1t WIS
found that by use of these boxes omen
hour and twenty-five minutes day
was gained. At this rate, if the boxes
were put up over the entire city, $780,
900 year Ii, carrier service would la
saved. Another test of a different
style of collection and delivery boxes,
Of which 100 were put up in WESTERN
district, showed loss of twenty min
ties day, but collections greatly in
creased by the following comparison:
In ten days in April before the boxes
were put up, 225 letters were collected:
but in ten days in June after the es-
lishment of the boxes, the number of
letters collected was 900, 100 being
collected from the street boxes ard
800 from The house boxes. The loss
of time, however, is due not to
the style of box, but ID the fact
that letters were mailed at 6sme in
stead of being sent down town, the
increase being great enough thereby
to overcome any saving of time caused
by the boxes.

News arrived some weeks ago of a
plague of mice, which threatened to
destroy the whole harvest in the Thes-
salian plain. Terror seized all Greece.
Tor that harvest is the greater part Of
the total harvest of that country, and
all means were taed to putsan end to
the plague. The ignorance and super
stltion of the peasants, however, frus-
trated all attempts, and. ruin, seemed
inevitable. Following Pasteur's adj
vice, It is said, the Greek Government
called in the aid of the well-known
German bacteriologist, Prof. Loeffler
OF Griefswald, who has. put an end to
che plague by causing fatal epidemic
among the mice. This is a triumph
OF bacteriology practical enough to
suit the most unscientific taste.
