In the last issue OF the North Amer
lean Review certain alleged dangers
OF the postal system are pointed out
by Henry A. Castle. auditor OF the
postofiice department Among other
things, Mr.. Castle strongly opposes
postal savings banks. While he freely
admits certain advantages in the sys-
tenn, such as the stimulating OF thrift
and the aifordlng OF a safe place where
working people could deposit their
small savings. he holds that q, would
involve a heavy loss to the govern
ment and would be a serious injury
to the postal service Some Of his
arguments throw new and interesting
light upon the subject
The problem Of finding n secure In
Vestment with ad quato interest for
these savings seems 10 DO extremely
difieult The English government has
not been able to solve this problem.

quarter past 2.
''Dearl but I'm glad I'm done" she
said. "and oh. have to change my
dress yet, and that takes so long"
She changed her dress and soon was
ready to 40, kissing her mother good
bye, she started for Cora's house. On
her way there she saw something gill;
ter on the sidewalk. She picked II up
and recognized II as gold dollar.
Marie had always longed for n piece
Of gold in money. and now she had
obtained II. She put II 10 her pocket

about Il to Cora and they had much
fun playing games.

perlepces during his travels IN the un-
known wilderness Of the dark CONT

roclous animals his life was in con-
slant danger but at no time was no
nearer death than when no was held
under the claws Of a huge lion, In
1910 DR.. Livingstone went 20 South
Africa as a missionary and was To-
Gated In a Bechuana Village In the

Livingstone and the natives sailed GU,
against the lions and rounded up
number OF them. Livingstone singled
out a beautiful male lion, took aim
and fred. The animal was struck. but
received wound that only served 20
arouse his anger. Before Livingstone
realized what was happening the fierce
brute gave n mighty spring and
crushed the explorer 10 the earth.
Then he seized Livingstone by tho
shoulder In his terrible teeth and
shook the man as a cat does a mouse.
DR.. Livingstone, In telling OF the In
cldent afterward. said this shaking
caused n numbness TO extend over his
entire body. lie could not move. but
he was perfectly conscious and fully
realized his danger. Fortunately some
Of the natives had seen DIR. Living
stones peril. As they rushed TO his
aid the lion placed both forepaws on
his victim and growled defiance ut tho
new foe. a woll-directed shot from n
natives weapon. however. laid him
cold 81 death. DIR. Liylngstone's arm
had been crushed by the animals
teeth and his body was badly lacerated
by the claws, but he recovered Tho
natives, no said. always seemed to
have more respect for him after his
narrow escape than they had before.

A large elephant. formerly the cen
ter OF attraction in q certain roo.
found itself supplanted In public favor
by a new arriyal-a young camel. The
camel was the latest acquisition and
very naturally engaged the attention
OF visitors. The elephant for n long
time showed signs OF dissatlsfactio
and at last It's Jealousy reached a point
where It must nnd expression. When
the usual crowd gathered about the
elephant prepared for action. II filled
its trunk with water. and with DELHI
crate aim discharged the water all
over the people who stood looking at
the baby. Equally wise In making IT,
calculations was cat that chose a
peculiar spot for n bed. Comfort was
the cats object. and the chosen spot
did not seem 10 be calculated TO AFFORD
Il. The cat was found fast asleep In
n large shipbuildlng yard. lying on
what seemed 10 be a very muddy path.
Il was found however. that the spot
chosen by the cat for its couch was
the point at which a hot steam-plpe
passed under the road. so that tho
mud was baked into a warm. dry clay,
which made not only clean. but al
artlhclally heated sleeping place.
