The Better London Postal System.

Prom the Worlds Work.
1t must be admitted that at its best our
New York postal system cannot be COM
pared to that of London in efficiency. That
city has hourly collections and deliveries,
the average number of deliveries In all
large English cities being fourteen day.
One can send a letter in the morning adj
dressed to any place within 100 miles of the
Bank OF England and, with promptness at
the other end, receive an answer the same
day. Within the city limits the mail Is as
rapid as our telegraph Ladies' do their
marketing by post mailing orders between
and and receiving the goods before
noonr The parcel post Is so cheap and
prompt that most small packages are deiiv-
cred In this way instead of by business de-
livery wagons, and one can send practi-
cally anything. 1t Is difficult to see why
America should not require and receive
just as good a system

must be had at any cost There
are some men who get along Tor a
