IMPERIAL POST SERVICE.

The Jill Shimpo states that the jap
anese Government contemplates rails
ing sum of $1,000, 900 yen within five
years by increasing the rates of post
age, in order that the money may be
appropriated for the extension of pos
tai and telegraphic institutions. Sales
Of post cards and stamps for this year
are estimated to amount to 100000
yen, while letters and kilograms are
increasing year by year, next years
receipts being expected to exceed A.,
100000 yen. The use of post cards
doubles every year, their total number
having reached 220,00O,000 or 100000
600, valued at 100000 to 100000 yen
If the Governments project is to, be
put into operation, it will be necessary
to increase hostages Of all description
by 20 per cent ON the average. The
process will require not only differ
ent classification of mails, but also a
revision of the scale of weights. The
matter is attended with considerable
trouble, nor is it improbable that pub
lie opposition will be raised.

AN AFRICAN THORN FOREST.

A bad thorn forest had to be passed
through here, composed principally of
the Waacht cen beetle thorn trees.
whose hooked thorns, arranged in OPP
posite curves on the same branch,
catch the unhappy passer-by in their
tolls whichever way he moves. The
instinct, when caught by a thorn, is
to halt and loosen ones self carefully,
and then try to avoid the repetition of
the occurrence. The Waacht cen beetle,
however, with diabolical accuracy,
whenever it has hooked passer-by,
renders such attempts futile, for as
soon as one has got free in one place,
the thorns set in the opposite direction
on the same branch invariably hook
into some fresh part of the clothing,
and at each move the neighboring pre-
hensile branches, set in motion by the
movement, seem to hook on from
above and below, until apparently
there is only one possible way out OF
the difficulty, and that is to wrench
ones self free at the expense Of ones
clothing, and a succession of very pro-
nounced and ugly scratches. Added to
all this, the plant, with its light green
foliage hiding the vicious thorns in
their friendly appearing verdure
seems to invite the touch by an out
ward display of attractiveness, never
exposing on it's exterior any sign Of its
disagreeable nature. Many hard
pressed giraffe or buck owes it's life
to the friendly Intervention of the
Waacht cen beetle tree, past which the
hunter, all unsuspecting, has brushed
in the hurry of the chase, to be held
fast while the game vanishes over the
belt.-"The New Africa by DR.. Aurel

SHIPPING FROZEN MILK.

Farmers and dairymen in New Jer-
sey may experience new form of COM
petition from long distances in the sale
of milk in nearby cities, says the New
ark Advertiser, by a process now in
successful use by the milk dealers in
Denmark and Sweden. The milk is
collected at central station from
farms within a certain radius It is
then Pasteurized and frozen. The
blocks of the frozen milk are placed in
stout wooden casks holding about dou-
BILE the volume of the blocks, and the
extra place is filled with sterilized
milk, after which the casks are her
metically sealed The milk is thus
safely transported as far as England,
and it is preserved for about 20 days.

Every man makes his own world.
The habit of his life clothes him like
a garment, and only he who wears the
wedding garment is at home at the
wedding feast. The same circum-
stances are to one man beautiful, and
to another at his side, demoralizing.
You may have prosperity and it may
be source of happiness, or the same
prosperity and it may be source of
peril, according as you are clothed or
unclothed with the right habit of
mind God first asks for your heart
and then offers you His world. The
wedding feast is for him alone who
has accepted the wedding garment.
