New Hampshire il not only sum-
mrr play ground, but for that early va
cationisl. the fisherman. it is rem
GtZNUus of wide rcnown.
It's mountains are known far and
wide for their grandeur. but they are
no more widely known than its lakes,
of which few sections of the country
have a greater number.
Some of them. like Wmnipcsaukee
and Sunapee, are OF great area and
renowned fishing grounds. while
others, numbering well towards IA 100,
are Of varying siza but nevertheless
excellent fishing resorts.
Every one of New Hampshire's lakes
is more than well stocked with the
choicest varieties of every kind of
fish, and invariably their size is en-
traordinary.
There is one very prominent and
favorable feature which makes the
lakes of New Hampshire popular with
the fishing fraternity, and that is the
exceptional facilities for reaching
them. The general passenger dcpat Of

The latest asprant for honors as a
universal language, the successor of
Nolapuk, which was agitated some
Years ago, is known as Esperando.
This is an artificial language, due to
DR.. ZamenhOf, Russian linguist.
There is no doubt that, despite the ex-
tensive translation of valuable foreign
articles appearing in the technical
lless, in these days when every manu-
featuring industry is carried Oh along
scientific and chemical lines, wider
interchange of ideas and discoveries
is of the utmost Importance. Such Is
the mission of universal language.
one in which any scholar would be
able to describe and explain his dis
c0veries so as to have universal
audience.
Esperando grammar is said to con-
sist of 16 simple rules, without any
exceptions whatever, and there are but
II notifications of the termination OF
words. 1t is claimed that with 10
minutes instruction in the grammar u
novice can translate Esperanto with
the aid of dictionary only, while a
months study sutfces to enable him to
write or speak it. the latter operation
being simplified by phonetic spelling.
1t is said that 10000 people in CONT
mental Europe have taken up Its study.

LETTER-c COLLECTING MOTOR CARS.
A Dream Into the Future Which May Be
Realized.

| A Dream Into the Future Which May Be
Realized.
"In the postal service the govern
ment annually appropriates $4,000
for horse hire, and by horse hire is it
meant that the department allows car
riers $500 year each for what is
called mounted carrier service" said
postal official to a Star reporter this
morning.
There are 30 mounted carriers in
| Washington and they may be observed
| riding around the streets in their lit
tie wagons collecting mail. Whether
| this is satisfactory way of solving
this problem is matter of opinion,
but it has evidently bsen found to be
| as economical system as could be
| devised for the money, and on the
score of economy it may be indorsed.
| For other reasons, however, it cannot
Ea commended, and it is antiquated
and scarcely befittng the great sys-
| TEN it represents.
at would probably cost twice the
| amount to maintain a uniform system
as to carriage and horse service in
| the cities where mounted carriers are
| utilized; but il it cost $2,0OO,OOO the
| present high standard of the admins
| tration of postal affairs would be ma
| terally increased as to appearance and
| undoubtedly as to service performed
| by these carriers. The little wagons
are of better appearance than those in
| use some years ago, but out OF Il sum
| OF only $500 Year carrier cannot
be expected to supply much of rig
as to vehicle and horse.
"The idea of collecting mail on foot
belongs to a past generation. 1t must
| be collected now by men in vehicles
| to meet the demands of the times. A
| decade hence it will be collected, in all
| probability. by men in automobiles.
| The system Is so extensive, and the
specters Of a deficit SO ever present in
| the minds of the officials in all
branches of the service, that reforms
and measures affecting thousands Of
men and involving the expenditure of
millions of dollars are necessarily
considered and experimental with be-
fore adoption.
| Nevertheless, deficit and economy
| to the contrary Notwithstanding, the
day is rapidly approaching when
Washington will see the last of the
| little jaunting cars with their little
horses driven by the men in gray,
going from hotel to hotel, postboX to
| postbox in the street and hasten the
| day. In their stead will be automo-
bles, or some form of artiiicially pro-
PEELED carriage, which will skim over
our smooth streets. especially adapted
for that kind of vehicle. and the mail
will be collected and deposited in the
ostoffice in half the time mt present
consumed. The change will be decid-
edly radical and decidedly welcome,
| but it will probably not be realized in
the very near future unless the price
of these vehicles is materially low

ESCAPING FROM SIBERIA.
How Russian ConvIcts Manage to Secur,
Freedom.

How Russian ConvIcts Manage to Secure
Freedom.
Recent developments in Russia have
served to direct public attention anew
to the state of affairs in the vast Mus
covite realm. This is the time of year
when the wretched creatures con-
demned to life of practical serfdom
in Siberia make their most strenuous
endeavors to escape. Practically in no
part of Siberia is Imprisonment so
much to be dreaded as in the mines of
Kara. Spring is considered the best
time to make the break for liberty. as
then the rigors of Siberian winter
are passed, and there is then more
chance of success.
Many miles of desolate territory
must be crossed, and in the dead of
winter such attempts are worse than
futile, for the despairing convict only
escapes from serfdom to die of expo
sure or starvation on the bleak Sibe-
rian desert. Yet foolhardy as it may
seem, many do make the struggle for
freedom, preferring probable death in
pen.
Once the wretches have eluded the
sharp eyes of the guards and escaped
from the prison proper there is always
some guide to direct them for the first
hundred miles or so. Night is the time
for the attempt. and in the darkness
some succeed. After the prison is left
behind them all travelling must be done
under cover Of darkness. When a viii
lage is reached all is dark and still
save at one cot, where light is ever
burning in the window. There the
desperate refugee knows he may find
friends and perhaps shelter during the
coming day.
The system of convict pens Is not
condoned by the natives. and they are

of 20 feet minute, while with smaller
molding double this phenomenal rate
of production is attained. Any de-
