Chinese Mail Seryica

The mails in China are different from
the postal arrangements of any other
country in the world. In China the
mail service is not in the hands
of the Government, but is left to pri-
vate persons to establish postal con.
nection, how and wherever they please.
Anybody may open a store and hang
out sign advertising that he is ready
to accept letters to be forwarded to
certain places or countries. The re-
suit of this arrangement is that in
populous towns there are great mum.
Der Of persons accepting letters to be
forwarded to all parts of the country;
at Shanghai, for instance, there are
not less than 800 stores competing
with each other and carrying on war
to the knife as far as rates are con-
cerned.
This system, although having great
faults, has some good qualities. There
are several parties accepting letters in
one certain town. The Chinese mer-
chant who writes letters two or three
times will patronize several of the CON
Germs, and asks his correspondent to
inform him which he got quickest.
Having experimental for awhile he
will select the firm giving the best
service, but he always has the choice
OF several mailing agencies for his
correspondence. philadelphia Rec

Narts Are COntn gi0nE.

Warts are supposed to be somewhat
of the nature of cancer, and are be.
lieved to be contagious. 1t is matter
of common experience that person
who milks COW having warty teats
will often have warts on his hands,
and that the warts spread from one
place to another is quite certain. This
may be, however, the result of some
constitutional tendency to these dis.
eased growths, but, as it is best to be
on the safe side at all times, it will be
wise for person having warts on his
hands not to milk COWS, or one VINO
milks COW with warty teats should
wash the hands before milking an
other COW. 70 get rid OF warts is not
difficult matter. Any kind of caus-
tic applied to wart, SO as to corro 10
it to the healthy flesh, and then an
application of carbo!ated vaseline to
the sore, will make a cure. New
