According to figures published by the
first assistant postmaster general, there
are 100000 persons in New England
who are beyond the limits in which
mails are delivered free by the govern
ment.
BY states this number is as follows
Maine, 50S G39: New Hampshire, 259 ,SS3
Vermont, 273,4sl; Massachusetts, 750,-
Sj5 Rhode Island, 1885, 70; Connecticut.
1862, 149. TO obtain free mail delivery
community must have 10000 inhabitants
or $4,000 per annum in gross receipts.
Congress has authorized the extension of
of free deliveries somewhat beyond limits
within which the above conditions strict
~ apply, but as yet the rural delivery
system has not grown very rapidly. Ex-
periments show that it is a costly work
for a department of our government
which loses millions of dollars every
year.
1t is mentioned in the report from
which the above figures are qouted that
agents are laying out new routes in a
dozen states, including four of the New
England states. and that l57 petitions
from 80 states beg for similar privileges
in as many different localities. 1t sounds
like a severe reflection upon our post
office to state that every leading country
IN the universal postal union delivers
everything to the addressed, but it should
be borne in mind that there are in many
countries additional charges for such ser
vice. that no other nation spreads over
such a territory or conducts its mail sys-
TEN at such expense. The extension of
free delivery stations is desirable at any
cost less than an increase in the annual
deficit of the post Office department.

the ordinary illnesses Of childhood2
Any woman may insure the health of her
children who will take proper care of her
health in a womluly way. The health of
her children depends almost entirely upon
her general health and particularly upon
the health and strength of the delicate and
important organs that bear the burdens of
maternity. A woman has no right to dis
regard her own health comfort ease and
happiness, she certainly has less right to
condemn her children to life of suffering
or an early death. That is what she does
if she neglects the health of her special
womanly organism Dr. Pierces Favorite
Prescription is an unfailing remedy for all
disorders Of this description. 1t strength
ems and invigorates the sensitive organs

children as the result of the use of this

May NIanton's Hints Regarding Seasonal ie
Toilettes.


The box plated shirt waist retains
its popularity and is found among the
most stylish of this seasons waists.
AS here represented in pale blue pique
with bow tie and belt of black satin,
it is at once attractive and becoming,
the combination being one of the very
newest Three box plaits of equal
width are formed in front and back,
the. closing in front being concealed
under the centre plat. A pretty
pointed yoke fits smoothly across the
shoulders and unites the front and
back portions, under-arm cores COM
pleting the perfect adjustment. The
turn down collar finished softly is pre-
ferred by many but it can be made re-
movable or omitted altogether, the reg
ulation white linen standing collar taxi
ing its place, in which case the neck is
finished with a band. The shirt sleeves
are of fashionable width, openings be-
ing made at the back of wrists that are
finished with pointed over-laps. Gath
ers adjust the scant fulness top and
bottom, the straight cuffs being made
to close with link buttons.
The lower edge can be tucked under
the dress skirt, although there is a
fancy for wearing this style of waist
as here shown over the skirt.
The mode may be developed in all
styles Of cotton shirtings, percales, ma
dras, cheviCt, duck, dimity or ging-
