The postal card is often very handy.
An English member Of parliament has
made suggestion to the effect that the
postal laws should permit the transmits
sion through the mails of any card what
ever Of tho regulation size bearing an
adhesive l-cont stamp. We are disposed
to back up this suggestion. Its adoption
would save money to the postoffice de-
partment and would be very convenient
at times to people who do not happen to
have postal cards at hand when needed.
1t would often be especially convenient
to people in the rural districts. We
do not know that it would be against
any law to mail an ordinary white card
bearing 1-cent stamp. We recently
heard of case in which card of this
kind, thus stamped, was mailed and de.
livered in this city. If the sender acted
unlawfully, he has never heard of it,

At this season, when the family de-
parts from town, u word must be spoken
in behalf of the house cat, too often left
behind to lead vagrant and precarious
existence. Already on the Back Bay,
where 'early closing" is the rule, the
cats have become conspicuous by the alb
sence of their owners. A few less felines
in the world are not objected to, but
that suffering and slow starvation should
attend their taking off is shame to hu.
mainly. Unless the devoted house cat
