One of the sure signs OF u cold spell is
the activity OF the plumber about this
time of year. He is an Individual much
made use OF by newspaper iokers by rea-
son of his long bills, but when one stops
to think how often he is called upon, and
each time in greater haste han the time
before, the wonder is that he finds a
total anywhere. During the extremely
cold snap of last week a large number of
yard and house hydrants were frozen, and
in some places there was Il water famine
on a small scale. The plumbers and water
company's men are rapidly getting pipes
and hYdrants in shape again.

LARGE POSTAL r

The new postal cards, nearly twice ~
large as the common postal card, have
been placed on sale in the larger offices,
and Miss Jennie Berrie expects to have
some here in a week or two. A fine pen
man can write a long letter on one, so
large is it. The stock upon which it is
printed is said to be better than the ordi-
nary card.
