FREE mail delivery has been in
operation eXperimentally for the past
two years in forty-six towns and vii
lagos varying from 500 to 1900 in
habttants. The results are not en-
couraging to the belief that free de-
livery in country places will result in
a large increase Of business. 1t will
pretty certainly result in an increase
Of postal expenditure; by $50, 600, 600
or more and then not give very good
accommodation to the rural public.
First Assistant Postmaster General
Jones has had charge Of this delivery,
and he will recommend that it be
suspended at the close of the fiscal
year. The postal revenues last year
increased nearly s., 600, 600, or seven
Der cent. The Improvement of coun-
try roads is for the present more
practical benefit to the farming pOpu-
lation than would be carrying their
mail to them through the mud. II
there were good roads going for the
mail would be only pleasure. Farm
ers are shut up at home too much as
III is, and this isolation is what drives
SO many OF them to the cities and
large villages for companionship-

TRAIN robberies have set the able
editors writing about the desirability
of Federal statute for the punish
ment Of this form Of brigandage.
There is no objection to such an en-
actment, but it would probably do no
particular good. Train robbers are
the most desperate class Of criminals.
Burnlars and leven highwaymen
seldom meet with vigorous armed re-
sistance. Their victims are confused
or frightened and unable to act
quickly and intelligently. But when
train robbers attack an express Car
they know that they are likely to be
met by armed men, yigilant and de-
termined and on the alert for just
such attacks. They take these
chances deliberately and they stake
their lives on the wage Of battle.
They care nothing about laws-State
or federal They kill or are killed,
and they know that if captured they
need expect no mercy For such
men a Federal statute has no more
terrors than State enactment lhas.
They don't know the difference, and
if they did know they wouldn't care.
They are gamblers who stake their
lives against rich haul Of plumber,
and if they are to be hanged they
will care but little whether a Deputy
Sheriff or a United States Marshal
springs the trap, Such men are not
to be deferred from crime by the
name Of the Federal Government or
by anything else short Of cold lead
in alIopathic doses. Chicago Herald.

AN Illinois murderer sentenced to
be hanged asked the Sheriff for ''lotS
to eat" before the time came for the
execution 1t appears that the fear
Of death does not at least take away
a mans appetite, and he always
seems to sleep well on the night pre-
vious to his taking off. The man
with clear conscience, who sleeps
only at intervals and who cannot eat
square meal" once week, may
take to rejecting on these facts, but
he should not think on them too long
lest he become a criminal merely for
The benefit of his health.

The New York newspapers are in
a state of mind because one man
Just one man-was run down and
Killed by a Broadway cable car last
week. One paper is inclined TO be
lieve that 'the cable system is too
dangerous for use in this city," Poor
unfortunates, they haven't fairly
tasted the bitter cup yet. Let the
New Workers wait till the juggernaut
gets fairly going. There are no tun-
nels on Broadway or Third avenue to
furnish real t1rst-page sensations such
as they have in Chicago, but danger
Gus crossings abound. If, after the
cable car, begin running full time
the death list does not average one a
day instead of one a week the good
people of New York may conclude
that they are under the especial pro-
lection of providence.

THE English language, like the
Anglo.Saxon race, goes forth con-
quering an to conquer. The German
scholar, Prof Scheer, has just con-
firmed the dictum Of Mr.. GIrdstone
that our mother tongue is the com

fury the English-speaking population
Of the globe has risen from less than

WHEN a we'll known character was
told that the people of France were
rebellious because they had no bread
she asked: ''Why do not they eat
cake?:' Since a new method has been
found for dispensing with cook and
the kitchen fire, instead Of seeking d
way to abolish poverty the question
should be, Why do you not get a

Paper Telegraph Poles.

One of the latest uses to which paper
has been turned is the making of tele~
graph poles. The paper pulp employ
ed is saturated with mixture of boraX
tallow, and other substances The
mass is cast in mold, with cone in
the center, forming a hollow rod of
any desired length, the cross pieces be-
ing held by wooden keys driven in on
either side Of the POLE The paper
poles are said to be lighter and strong
er than those Of wood, and to be IN
affected by the many weather inf1u-
ences which shorten the life Of wood
en- pole. It is doubtful, however,
whether the paper poles will come to be
anything like rival to the iron pole,
which is now high in favor for the car
rying Of all kinds Of wire lines. The
value Of iron telegraph poles has been
well tested under the most trying con-
ditions on the line between Europe and
India, and again across arid stretches
Of country in Australia. Insects that
eat out Of the core of everything in the
shape Of wood, leaving the shell only,
and bird borers that drill holes in the
toughest Of trees, let the iron pole pass
and even wandering tribes can not
chop it up for fire wood, although
down in Australia they have not yet
quite gotten over the trick of making
arrow heads Of the insulators that it
carries.

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
lends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup Of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties Of perfect lax
alive; efectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
It has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval Of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup Of Figs is for sale by all drug
Gffss43g in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup Of Figs,
and being we'll informed, you will not
accept any substitute if offered.

Sure Cure.

Charles F. Gore, a New Hampshire
judge Of this century, was very nervous
and irritable, but so determined that
he usually found means of enforcing
his desires. While he was holding a
court in one of the northern counties.
he was much annoyed by the coughing
of the spectators in the court room.
He referred to it again and again,
with increasing asperity, and finally
directed the sheriff to remove from the
court room the next man who coughed.
This had marvellous effect in sitting
the audience.
That evening a stranger afflicted with
an incessant cough appeared at the vii
lage hotel. .....
II can tell you how to cure that"
said a bystander. "You just go down
to the court house. There's a little wiz
ened judge there, and he'll put a stop
to that cough of yours in less than
five minutes. Sure curev'

Tall Girls and Short.

Opinion has always been very much
divided upon the subject Of women's
height. The novelist and designers Of
fashion plates incline to the view that
the female form divine should be
somewhat Of the altitude of q life
guardsman. Tall women have unques-
tionably been in the ascendant in more
senses than one of late. 1t has been
expected of us to be very much nearer
six feet than five, and we have very
successfully contrived to fulfill this ex-
pectatiOn. Notwithstanding there is
great deal to be said on the other SIDE
There are those who will declare that
there is more fascination, more charm,
more vivacity about little woman.
She is, they will say, more energetic,
and beside her the average young man
does not feel the drawbacks Of early
and incessant cigarette smoking and
the degeneracy of his sex; she can
coax and pout and flounce into pretty
little passions with greater grace than
a daughter of the GODS" she needs a
protecting arm in a crowd. and she
does not take up so much room in a
railway carriage, or dwarf her part
ners in the ball room.
There was never yet a little woman
