british Post Office Regulations as To
Word Counting in kilograms.

Some of the amusing absurdities
growing out OF the regulations Of the
British posi- office respecting word
counting in kilograms are pointed out
by that indomitable postal reformer, ].
Henniker Heaton. As the address is
not free, the authorities have fine
chance for big-wigged wisdom in de-
termining what places shall be counted
as one word, what as two Thus Char
ing Gross goes rs two words, but New
eastle-0n-the-fyne as one. West Derby
is one word, under post Office rules, but
East Acton is two. Edge Hill tLig-
rick Is one word. but Edge lilf tLiy-
erpooDi is two words. Mr. Heaton prints
halt column of similar anomalies.
The telegraph authorities blandly adj
init that no rule or reason can be az
signed for the method Of counting
words in telegram. This depart
ment does not go by analogy" was
their answer to one protest. Evident
ly it does not when it determines that
''mother-in-law' is one word. but
''foster-mother" two;" that don't IS
one word. but didn't" two; cant"
one, and hasn't" two. These and many
other mysteries Of counting Mr. Heaton
takes from the official Postal Guide.
But his crowning specimen of absurd
ity is found in this copy of an official
order issued in 1891;
'The following words-bOiler-maker,
blind-maker. stoyemaker, engine
maker, soapmaker, swordmaker, sole
maker and unkmaker-should be
counted and charged for as two words
each; but reedmaller, bookmaker. gum
maker. coachmaker, harness-maker,
wigmaker, needle-maker, cabinet
maker are allowed TO pass as one word
each.
With such stupidity the gods con-
tend in vain, but Mr.. Heaton never
theless keeps hammering away at it
undismayed. He will get his reforms
in time, for even bigwigdom cannot
forever withstand ridicule.-N. Y. Post.
