Those who have estimated the advan-
 tages to be gained from rural free de livery will be pleased to learn that the
 work of extending this branch of the postal service is being pushed as rap
 idly as possible. The officials at Wash
 ington are discovering that the meas ures authorized by the last Congress answer a real demand of the people.
 One hundred and fifty-seven petitions from thirty-five States have already been received asking for free delivery in as many communities. The depart ment has inaugurated eighteen new dis tributing stations in several Eastern States and special agents are in the field both in the East and in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas and the Dako- tas to lay out additional routes of ser vice. That the time has come in which to hasten these preparations is shown by the statistics obtained by Assistant Postmaster General Heath. The figures indicate that the United States, except in certain spots where experiments are now being made, is behind other ad- vanced nations. In Illinois alone 2,34S,- 14S persons are absolutely without free delivery. In New York the number of persons who are without this service and must send for their mails is 2,229,- GOO; in Indiana, 1,711,000; in Iowa, 1,594, 4,000; in Michigan, 1,461, ,000; in Wisconsin, 1,336,OOO; in Missouri, l. 942,O00; in Ohio, 2,397, ,0OO, and in Penn sylvania, 3,0O2,OOO. In all, probably between 40,000,000 and 45,0OO,OOO in the entire country must send for their mails. Considering the facilities for free delivery in other civilized countries these facts should stimulate the postal authorities to further efforts. In every other one of the greater countries be- longing to the Universal Postal Union mails are delivered at the peoples doors throughout the land, although in some instances a slight charge for additional postage Is made. This country and the republics of South and Central Amer ica are almost alone in failing to pro- vide rural delivery. Up to the present the Governments experiments seem to show that the proposed improvement in the postal service is rapidly becom- ing necessity, If the needs of the peo- pie and their growing desire for close l with the outside world | are to be considered. The authorities l may go ahead in the assurance that | their work has passed the experimental | stage and that when completed it will | be a great factor in relieving the peo- pie of the country districts of the iso- lation which is so serious a drawback to life on the farms and in small com.

Trained Pigeons,

Pigeons are carefully trained. The young homer is taken half mile the first day, mile the second, two miles the third, and so on, doubling the dis tance each time. It must be liberated each time only in the same direction as to it's loft, for a bird can be trained along only one route at time. When 40 miles have been reached, weeks rest comes between. A hundred miles are enough for young birds first year.
 So essential is the training that old birds are taken only two miles out for the first lesson of a season, though they may have flown their 250 miles the year preceding. The end of the next season, however, will, if the birds are willing and the trainer patient, be crowned by the accomplishment of a 400 mile flight. AS you get higher in the scale of distance, longer and longer rests are needed.
 Male birds are generally used for long distances. Family matters are apt to engross the attention of the hen, though she is still capable of good work when she has a mind for it.-Good Words

The Death of Da Vinci.

Francis, the King of Gentlemen" was holding high carnival at FOntaine- bleau, surrounded by nObles of his court whose names rank high in the annals of chivalry. Suddenly there fell a silence; trumpetS were hushed and laughter was stilled. And for what! To gaze upon an aged and feeble man who was supported by the men leading his mule through the crowd. He de- scended and tremblingly approached the young monarch, and kneeled before him. Every eye was upon him, peer and peasant pressed forward to watch the bowed figure; the name, Da Vinci, was whispered among the courtiers and carried from mouth to mouth. The shout rose: Honor to Da Vinci! Honor to the noble 1talian!'
 It was indeed Da Vinci, the venerable Leonardo, who had left his ungrateful country; Da Vinci, who united the most wonderful talents with a pure and guileless heart; the brave knight, the mathematician, the poet the musician, the wOrld-famed artist. Such was the man who stood like one of the patri- archs of old, stern and simple in attire amid the gay and glittering thrOng.
 The scene changed. In one of the chambers of the palace was the sol emn stiffness of death. Da Vinci was dying; glorious even in death, like the last bright flash of candle before it sinks into its socket.
 Leonardo raised himself in bed, his face was pale, calm and serene; a slight quiver passed his lips as though he would speak; his head dropped upon his breast and he sank back in the arms of the monarch of France.
 Thus died the learned and good Da Vinci, the wonder of world, of whom it might justly be said, take him for all in all, we ne'er shall look upon his like again."

Largest Safe in the World

The highest, if not actually the larg est, safe in the world has been con structed in Liverpool by a ell-known safe manufacturing firm for a bank in Scotland. It is steel structure, quite as big as many a cottage, or even a house. It is built in two stories. and Is in height rather more than, seventeen feet. It's other measurements are: Depth, fifteen feet; width, thirteen feet. The whole is divided off into rooms or chambers of fair size. This enormous safe is to stand In a large room, its bottom resting on steel gir- ders. It is believed that this kind of 8 safe is immensely superior to cham bers or vaults built of stone, having fireproof and burglar-proof doors, be- cause all such vaults can be under mined, as has actually happened in more than one instance. AS this safe stands free of the ground, it is, of course, quite impossible that 1t can be entered by any process of undermining without detection. - Cincinnati En. quirer.

Little Marble Imported Now.

The importation, of marble to the United States has almost ceased. It is only now and then that cargo arrives at this port, while few years ago a fleet of sailing vessels brought many cargoes annually from the famous Car rara quarries in Italy to Philadelphia. Marble buildings seem to be becoming things of the past, and the tombstone makers find little demand for marble tombs, slabs or monuments. Granite has taken the place of marble every where, even i'll the cemeteries, where marble shafts and slabs were formerly the only proper things. Granite, unlike marble, does not require very frequent cleaning and looks we'll without being touched up for years. It also admits of 8 high polish and does not show the marks of rust by contact with metal, as marble does. Philadelphia Record.

ON A BIKE BUILT FOR TWO.
And the Startling News Was Not Known
 Until Afterward.

A cyclist whom we will call Baxter was strolling along the avenue when he noticed pretty girl in neat cycling costume standing by tandem. She had her back turned to him, but he saw she wore a trim costume, had a neat ankle and nicely arranged lot of hair. Bax- ter is very particular about girls hair. This girl looked so attractive that he paused. There was something pa thetic in her attitude, he thought. Was she waiting for a cavalier to join her on the tandem? A wild idea entered Baxter's head. He would do daring thing. He walked up to the girl. She turned frank, merry face on him as he approached.
 Pardon me-" he laughingly said, "but are you looking for an accompa- nist?" and he pointed to the tandem.
 Well" she smilingly answered, "now that you mention it, l guess I am."
 A moment later they were whirling up the street. When it began to grow dark, they turned back.
 'My tandem?" cried the girl. "Why, it ism t my tandem"
 "Not your tandem?" shouted Baxter. "Whose is it, then?''
 "Why," said the girl, ''I thought it was yours.
 Heavens, mol" groaned Baxter.
 ''But you acted as if it was yours," said the girl.
 "What shall we do?'' moaned the girl.
 ''Take it back, !" said Baxter.
 So they rode back in silence, and when they were about a block away the girl said:
 ''I guess I'll stop here"
 Leaving the tandem as near to the place where he saw it as he could, he scuttled away in the darkness. Cycling Gazette.

Walters and Mattresses.

Talking of waitresses, a New York hotel keeper says that although they may possess some superior qualities for such service there are, on the other hand, such drawbacks as make it cer- tain that they would never be accept able to the majority of men who would have to be served by them. He says:
 ''I think the objection to them would be based chiefly on the fact that they never show especial attention to any person. I never knew a woman who waited on a man to trouble herself in the least about the manner in which she served him. It makes absolutely no difference whether they receive liberal tips or not. They may be quiet, neat and quick, but they would never pick out one piece of beef because 1t was better than another or make any effort to get the best of what was to be had in the kitchen. That sort of attention makes a man worth his fee to the men who tip him.
 ''It is this special service that makes a waiter superior to the best of his as- sociates. Women never detect any diff ference between the quality of one dish and another. They are all the same, and good service requires merely that they shall be set down noiselessly and brought quickly. There the service of the waitress ends. She can beat any man at those features of the business. But she cannot select for him anything better than the rest of the customers get. Usually she does not notice any difference ill them. That deficiency is the safeguard of the waiter and will keep his place secure for him.'

Part Taken by a Youngster in the
 Garden of Eden.

Part Taken by a Youngster in the
 Garden of Eden.
 "My little boy" said one of the ladies at a meeting of a Lewiston club the other day, is, I am sorry to say, in- clined to lord it over his younger broth CT and to run all the little devices that they conceive for play. If any game is proposed he selects at once the role most to be desired. If there is any choice of occupation in childhood's games he exercises it, and there is no appeal. He is the choice and the law. He has no cOmpunctiOns, and, so far as 1 know, has never experienced the notion that there is any fault in the king having his own.
 ''The other day he and his little broth CT and sister were at a loss what game to play next, and it was to my surprise that 1 heard them discussing a revival of that somewhat antiquated game of Adam and Eve and the Garden of Eden. It was finally decided by them to go ahead in the performance, and in a Hull in the debate the smaller boy an- nounced that he would be Adam. Of course the little girl was to be Eve, with essential notifications, and so far as l could see there was no role left for the older boy to assume. In other words, the cast seemed to be filled. This thought evidently suggested itself to the smaller boy, who is unaecustom. ed to have any of his propositions car ried, much less carried without oppo- sition, and he spoke up and said it seemed as though they had all the parts.
 Why said he, what you goin' ter be. Billy, if I'm Addum and Ruth is Eve?
 "'Huh,' said Billy, contemptuously. and with the air of the successful oper- ator, that's nuthin'. You can be Addum and Ruth can be Eve. I'm goin' to be God "-I,eWiStOn (Me) Journal

He Has Q Weakness For an Army of Fam
 fly Servants.
 We were family of 8, occasionally of 10 or 12 says Prince Kropotkin in The Atlantic, but 50 servants at Mos COW, and half as many more in the country, were considered not one too many. Four coachmen to attend dozen horses, three cooks for the masters and two more for the servants, dozen men to wait upon us at dinner time-one man, plate in hand, standing behind each person seated at the table-and girls innumerable in the maidservants' room, but how coIld any one do with less than this?
 Besides, the ambition of every landed proprietor was that everything required for his household should be made at home by his town" men.
 "How nicely your piano is always tuned. I suppose Herr Schimmel must be your tuner?" one of the visitors would remark.
 To be able to answer, "I have my own piano tuner," was in those times the correct thing.
 "What beautiful pastryI'' the guests would exclaim when 8 work of art, composed of ices and pastry, appeared toward the end of the dinner. "Confess, prince, that it comes from Tremble" (the fashionable pastry cook.
 ''It is my own confectioner, pupil of Tremble, whom have allowed to show what he can do, was the reply which elicited general admiration.
 To have embroideries, harnesses, fur niture-in fact everything-made by one's town" men was the ideal of the rich and respected landed proprietor.

Few Of us are so Sordid and practical
 as not to wish for beauty about us. in our homes, in our friends, meeting our eyes on all sides. How is it then that We stand with so much equanimity the hideous array of staring business signs and glaring trademarks, with which our landscape, country as we'll as city. is disfigured? Are we acquiescent sim ply from long habit, or is it that we fear that beauty and taste in advertis- ing would not pay? The last Supposi- tion has been proven false Not long since party of Belgian artists, recog- nizing that only through the low mo- tive of gain can some people be reached offered to furnish artistic designs to re- place the showy daubs of the Belgian tradesmen. They had a skeptical audi ence, but the experiment abundantly proved that taste and beauty in adver- Using are enough more profitable than loudness and ugliness to challenge the consideration of the most unaesthetic. What a blessing if this country could open its eyes to the truth that ugliness and Sordidness and practicality don't pay anywhere and that barbaric taste IS antagoniStic to dollars. Let our pub. ilc buildings be constructed and orna- nented on lines of beauty, and surplus capital devote itself to making stores and factories and depots attractive places and the light of a better day will soon dawn. Why not?

How If Feels to Re Hanoed.

The uniformity of the descriptions ren- ders it useless to multiply instances. A captain who was rescued from the gib- bet at the intercesSion of Viscount Fur enne, after being partially hanged, re- lated that, having lost all pain in an instant, by being rescued he had been snatched from a glorious light, the charm of which defied all description. All victims of partial hanging agree that the uneasiness is quite momentary, that a pleasant feeling succeeds, and that various colors start before the sight, casting everything else into ob- livion. The mind, averted from reality, is engaged in scenes most remote from that which fills the eye of the specta- tor, the hideous gallOws and the strug- gling form.

After all, it is generally the woman and not the man who doesn't like farming"-and small wonder, consider ing the way women are treated on some farms. White slaves and kitchen slaves at that, is about the style of it, even if they are not expected to help at the chores in the evening. While some men will spend their last dollar, If needed, to keep their wives in health, others think nothing of killing off two or three successive helpmeets with overwork in order to pay the mortgage In five years instead of ten, or to salt down another thousand in the bank. Such prosperity is all wrong. For tunately it is becoming more rare than In former years.

The recent death of Mime. Worth has revived some interesting stories of her celebrated husband, the man dress maker of Paris. Worth used to congrat-
 ulate himself that his wife was free
 from jealousy, for his business would
 certainly have suffered had she not re- garded his purely commercial relations with the ladies of the grand and of the demi monde in other than a sensible spirit. Worth did not seek in his wife the love of dress on which his success was founded. When I see two grandes danes talking in a bright and animated way while waiting for me" said he once, q know they are talking about their homes and families; when they are talking seriously, almost rev erently, l know they are talking dress. That is tbe difference between them and Mime. Worth. When she is talk Ing about our home she is serious; when she wants a new dress she be- comes very animated"
