Washington, July S.-Postmaster
General Smith has decided to debar
from second-class mail privileges the
large class of periodical publications
which depend largely on gift enter
prises, guessing contests or nominal
subscription rates for their circula-
ton.
By the new regulations a vast
amount of printed matter that now
pays for transmission at the rate of 1
cent will be charged cents a pound
The second-class matter has grown
until it now embraces nearly three
fourths of the entire weight of all mail
matter handled by the government.
and yet it brings in revenue of less
than S4.000.0O0 year. out of the en-
tire postal revenue of more than s11O,-

which contains a clockwork attachment
with n small steel barrel projecting
from one end. a magazine. also with

help of simple mechanical attach

Wolves do not attack sheep in the
daytime. and the gun needs to be in op-
GRAFTON only from sunset to sunrise. 1t
is at the period of lambing that the
fiocks are in danger, the fierce wolves
raiding them and carrying off the lamb
kins. and hence the apparatus de-
scribed is intended to be employed eX-
clusively during the season. 1t may be
that the wolf. which is n decidedly in
telligent animal, may learn the decep-
ton after awhile and realize that th1
automatic gun has not man behintH

wolves are afraid of the humming Of
