eel post has to contend with, and very
 large extra force has to be employed at
 that time. It has hitherto met all re-
 quirements, but each Christmas makes the strain greater.
 In an interesting little book, "A Hun dred Years by Post; Jubilee Retro
 spect," J. Wilson Hyde, superintendent
 of the general postofflce at Edinburgh,
 Scotland, has this to say of the parcel post: "The uniform rates in respect of distance, the number of offices where parcels are received and delivered and the extensive machinery at the com
 mand of the postoffice for the work
 render this business one of extreme &C., commodation to the public. Not only is the parcel post taken advantage of for the transaction of ordinary business
 O rdomestic parcels, but it is made the
 channel for the exchange of all manner
 of out -the-way articles. The fol- lowing are some instances of the latter
 class observed at Edinburgh: Scotch
 oatmeal going to aris, Naples and Ber-
 lin; bagpipes for the Lower Congo and
 for native regiments in the Punjab;
 Scotch haggis for Ontario, Canada, and lOI AdbDdl, lAuleti olllOhGu lduuOCkS for Rome; the great puzzle, pigs in
 clover for Bavaria and for Wellington,
 New Zealand, and so on. At home, too, curious arrangements come under mo- tice. A family, for example, in London find it to their advanage to have a roast of beef sent to them by parcel post twice a week from a town in Fife. And a gentleman of property in Devon- shire finds it convenient when enjoying
 the shooting season in the far north west of Scotland to have his vegetables
 forwarded by parcel post from his home garden in Devonshire to his shooting lodge in Scotland. The postage on
 these latter eonsignments sometimes amounts to about fifteen shillings ($3.75) a day, couple of postoffice parcel
 hampers being required for their con- veyance."
 Many English people go to the south of France during the winter months
 At that season flowers are scarce and
 dear in London, but just when they are
 most unobtainable there they are fresh est and most plentiful on the sunny shores of the Mediterranean It has now become a common social courtesy | for gentlemen to send boxes of flowers from Nice, Hyeres and other towns in the south to their hostesses of the sea- | son before in London. It Is a graceful
 way of acknowledging past hospitality, and may possibly be not without it's effect on favors to come. It is made possible only by the rapidity, regularity
 and cheapness of he foreign parcel post. For five francs ($D a boxful of cut flowers sufficient for dining and | drawing room decoration can be bought and thirty cents in postage will secure | it's delivery in London fresh and unin- jured within twenty-four hours. There
 are times, when flowers go a-begging in | Florida, New Orleans and Savannah, when Boston hostesses would welcome a | similar parcel post service in this coun- | try.-Boston Transcript.

'777'77777777l------' The Stock Market.

New York, Sept 29-The Burlington August statement furnished a lever to- day to carry prices upward and this development was the only factor of consequence bearing upon the general situation. It is true that the indus trials to considerable extent dominat- ed the market but speculation showed a tendency to ignore fluctuations in this group. This circumstance caused some favorable comment as did also the fact that the general list lapsed in to dullness and showed comparative steadiness when concerted attacks on the specialties were made London quotations indicated a more favorable disposition toward Americans abroad which was reflected in good buying here throughout the day Operations by the bear faction were renewed In various directions with Manhattan looming to the front. Tobacco of course was the most vulnerable point and soon yielded to 125. Covering of shorts put the price back to 1281b and
 
 an dthe close at 128A were accompanied by violent dips. The stock generally speaking showed 8 better tone and ended for the first time this week with a net advantage. Analysis of the Bur lington figures proved that the fears concerning it entertained yesterday were groundless and there was a brisk movement to cover which advanced the price almost two points. The gross in crease was realized solely from the passenger traffic, the freight earnings continuing low owing to the light grain movement, The management pursued the policy adopted by other important lines of expending a large percentage of income in betterments charged to operating expenses and this division wiped out over half of the gross re- turn leaving, however, a surplus in- crease over all charges of $73, ,997 The bears had counted confidently on ac- complaining liquidation in the railways on the publication of the report and it's good reception in the street put them to rout and large lines were covered Prominent interests were ranged on the long side for while and the senti- ment became more cheerful Call money sagged to 2l2 per cent. late in the day. The action of the government in anticipating the November interest coupled with the early receipts of large amounts of gold in transit were respon- sible fo rthe decline in rates. Time money was also quotably easier for the shorter periods and some prime mer- cantile paper was discounted at 31s per cent. Considerable pressure was con- centrated against Sugar as the day drew to a close, but the stock soon re- covered and ended firm in common with the remainder of the list, which estab- lished slight net gains

DANG FIR IN SODA.
Serious Results Sometimes Follow It's
 Excessive Use.

Common soda is all right in it's place and indispensable in the kitchen and for cooking and washing purposes, but it was never intended for a medicine, and people who use it as such will some day regret it.
 We refer to the common use of soda to relieve heartburn or sour stomach,
 a habit which thousands of people prac- tice almost daily, and one which is fraught with danger; moreover, the so-
 da only gives temporary relief and in
 the end the stomach trouble gets worse and worse.
 The soda acts as mechanical irrl-
 tant to the walls of the stomach and bowels, and cases are on record where it accumulated in the intestines, caus- ing death by inflammation or peritoni- tis.
 Dr. Harlandson recommends, as the
 safest and surest cure for sour stomach (acid dyspepsia), an excellent prepara- t1on sold by druggists under the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. These tablets are large 20-grain lozenges, very
 pleasant to taste, and contain the nat
 ural acids, peptones and digestive ele- | ments essential to good digestion, and when taken after meals they digest the food perfectly and promptly before it has time to ferment, sour and poison | the blood and nervous system. Dr. Wuerth states that he invariably
 uses Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets in all cases of stomach Arrangements and finds them a certain cure, not only for sour stomach, but by promptly digest ing the food they create a healthy ap- petite, increase flesh and strengthen the action of the heart and liver. They are
 not a cathartic, but intended only for stomach diseases and weakness, ana
 will be found reliable in any stomach trouble except cancer of the stomach. All druggists sell Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at soc per package. | A little book describing all forms of | stomach weakness and their cure mail-
 ed free by addressing the Stuart Co.,, | of Marshall, Mich.
