The Mail Delivery in the Country.
"Bradstreets" (Ind.)

"Bradstreets" Qnd.)
Free mail delivery in the rural
districts is one of the principal
objects of the postal branch of the
Government now and, Judging
from some remarks made by the
Postmaster General a day or two
ago, the service will receive a no.
table extension in the near future.
AT a meeting of the State Fair
Association, at Concord, N. H.,
Mr. Smith said that the postoffice
had been carried to the doors of
1900, 900 of population who live
in the cities and large towns Of
the United States, but that the
large problem remains of carry
ing the mails to the doors of 81.
100000 Americans who live on the
farms. He recalled the fact that
within the last two years the SER
vice had been extended over a
territory larger than that of all
England. Before the fiscal year
is closed the service will have
been carried over 5000 routes,
bringing the post Office to the
doors of more than 100000 peo-
pie, and reaching one-third of the
population, it is intended to fur
nish with the approved postal
facilities. This is making pro-
gress with celebrity for, of course,
the amount of territory to be COW
cred by the extension of free de-
livery in the rural districts is a
weighty factor in the problem. 1t
is much easier to reach million
people in thickly populated cen
tres than tenth of that mum Der
in sparsely settled districts.

so as to prevent any growth
above ground. Flowing and fit

May, and cultivating at intervals
until the last of June then leaving

one of the best methods that

Pneumonia In First Place.

To the average reader the in
formation contained in the census
statistics in which is shown the
relative fatality of the more com
mon ailments to whose ravages
the people of this country are
subject comes as something of
surprise. The disease which
leads the list in the number of
deaths which are chargeable to
its attacks is not the one which in
the general belief has been rated
the severest scourge.
Among the 10 maladies to
which the large mum Der of peo-
pie succumb consumption stands
second, not first. Pneumonia
outranks it in point of fatality, al
though only slightly. 1t, as the
Governments latest figures show
is the most deadly of all Ameri-
can diseases. 1t is the cause of
1919 of every 100000 deaths.
Consumption is yet but little be-
hind it, however, as destroyer
of humanity. To tuberculous at
tacks are attributed 1908 of the
fatalities in each 100000. Heart
disease follows as the third, it's
average number of victims in the
100000 being 1874.
Following these three most
faithful adjutants of the "grim
sceptre of the glass and scythe"
comes u others which in the or
der given may be reckoned the
most destructive to life within
the territorial limits to which the
statistics apply. They are: Di-
arrheal diseases, kidney disease,
apoplexy, cancer, old age, bron-
chitis, cholera infantum, debility,
Inflammation of brain and menin-
gifts, diphtheria, typhoid, prema-
ture birth.
Smallpox, it will be noted, does
not appear on the list, although
only a comparatively few years
ogo it was regarded by the peo-
pie generally as one of the
scourges of whichhumanity stood
most in dread. Gratifying re-
suits due to progress in medical
science are evident in the show
ing as to the decreased all fatal
lty OF consumption. Only a de-
cade ago it's victims numbered
124. 40 in every 100000, and that
disease ranked as the most dead
ly OF all In 10 years, as the fig
ures indicate, its destructiveness
has been reduced more than 25
per cent, and the present out
look gives promise of yet more
rapid advancement toward i'm
munity from its ravages.

If you come in from a drive and the
legs are wet, rub them dry before you
leave them. Never leave mud on the
legs of horses. whether they are
clipped or not. The mud closes the
pores Of the skin and checks the lnsen-
sible perspiration. and in very little
time you will have a case of mud

difficult to cure. The mud may be al
lowed to dry and then be cleaned of

The otter used by Scottish poachers
is one OF the most deadly fishing instru-
ments known. In some waters Is is far
more effective than net. 1t may be
described as water kite, which serves
TO take out over the water line bear
ing 90 or more flies. The otter itself is
hoating piece Of board loaded along
one edge to keep IT upright. The poach-
er walks along the side of loch or river,
letting out the fiy decorated line as he
goes. the otter board gradually working
out toward the center. An enormous
area Of water is fisbed at one time and
numbers OF fish are killed.

Longest Stone Bridge.

AT Rockville, Dauphin county,
there is approaching completion
the longest bridge of stone in the
world. 1t is being erected by the
Pennsylvania railroad and crosses
the Susquehanna river at one of
it's widest points, six miles above
Harrisburg. The bridge is being
enlarged to accommodate four
trackways. A correspondent thus
writes of the new monster stone
bridge, which will supersede the
present iron bridge used at that
point:
''The engineer supervising the
work is George Nauman, of Ian
caster. Under his eye 300 men are
working, 1870 pushingoutf from the
eastern shore and 10 from the
western. They began work 16
monthsago and they expect to see
tracks being laid upon their struc-
ture when next the SHOWS of win
ter descend upon western Penn
sylvania. One end is in Dauphin
county; theother is in Perry. It's
width will be 80 feet, it's length
full mile. 1t will have 48 spans,
each 20 feet long.
"Of all bridges those of stone
are most costly. For that reason,
it is said no stone bridge one
fourth as long as this will be
found on earth-or off the earth.
1t will cos at least one million dol
lars-but it will last until the day
of Judgment; nothing short of an
earthquake or a CARLOAD of dyna.

owners decide to tear it down" "

X represents the end elevation.
While the writer would not have a
hoghouse under any consideration,
think If had to have one for the uses
named, and where 1t could be set
against small hill, this would suit me
as well as any. If sows were to far
row in cold weather, the basement
could be temporarily divided into far
rowing pens by movable partitions. A
loft over the first, or ground, floor could
be used for storing bedding.

appearance that it is often a sure
embarrassment to them.
Between January and Sep.
tember l 1oflast year Edward went
to 43 public diunersand banquets,
to25 garden parties and concerts,
30 times to the opera house and
. theatre, to 2s race meetings; II
times he was in attendance at the
House Of Lords, and he fulfilled
IS official and charitable engage

II his own set his favorite topic
of conversation is clothes. The
King is an expert shoemaker, a
handicraft he chose to learn when
boy, being obliged by his royal
parents to learn some trade. He
has worn shoes of his own make.
One Of the happiest moments Of
the Kings life was when he won

eater except at dinner, and has
never been a great wine drinker
One Of the Kings treasures is
a solid gold dinner set, the most
magnificent in the world. It is

in Windsor Castle. Another

it always gave her headache.
