Reduction of Money Order Rates.

Washington, April Sin addition to
the arrangement with Canada, 1t is
expected that a reduction Of postal
money order rates between the United
States and both the Philippines and
Cuba will be put in operation on July
Is, next. The arrangement just signed
between the postal administrations of
the United States and Canada will
take effect on that day, and negotIa-
tions are now In progress with the
islands mentioned which are expected
to be consummated in time for all
three arrangements to be effective
simultaneously. This means a reduc-
tion on all money order business be-
tween the United States, Canada, Gu
ba and the Philippines of from / per
cent, the international rate which now
applies, to three-fourth of per cent,
which is the domestic rate.

WOMEN TO GO TO SOUTH AFRICA.
English Girls Apply by Hundreds for
the Opportunity.

NEW YORK, April 1O.--A rather un.
expected result has followed Mr..
Chamberlalns recent speech in sup.
port Of the scheme for sending women
out to South Africa, at the conclusion
OF the war, says the London CORE.
spondent OF the Tribune. An enor-
nous number of letters has been re.
ceived from women eager to emigrate
and reluctant to wait until hostilitles
are ended. Ono woman who wrote
direct to Lord Salisbury said she was
prepared to go out at once with her
mother and sisters, but she indicates
no particular sphere of usefulness.
Another wrote to the colonial office
In behalf of herself and few other
"hrst-class lady BARRIERS" Naturally,
the colonial Office authorities are do
Ing their utmost to discourage appli.
cations from women other than those
who are self.dependent, and girls OF
the servant type are urgently advised
not to go at all. II is very doubtful
whether there will be any openings
for them, and the public funds cannot
be used for the purpose of granting
free passages to the Cape.

AGREED TO BY CANADA.
VIII Examine all Cattle Destined for
United States.

WASHINGTON. April 9.--As a re.
suit Of negotiations between Secretary
of Agriculture Wilson and the Cana
dian minister of agriculture. an agree
ment has been reached between the
two administrations by which Canada
is to have first.class veterinarian sta
toned in England to test for tuber.
culosis all British cattle shipped to
this country via Canada. The Cana
dian administration wanted cattle to
be admitted from Canada without tests
at the border by American experts.
The department at Washington would
not agree to this. Secretary Wilson
said, however, that il Canada would
send to England an agent who should
have sufficient expert knowledge Of
the subject. the United States would
admit cattle upon his certificate that
the cattle had been tested and found
free Of tuberculosis. This was agreed
to by the Canadian minister. II Is
officially explained that about 10 per
cent of the livestock in the United
States and about 40 per cent in Great
Britain have tuberculosis. The cattle
on the continent of Europe are so dis.
eased that this government will not
permit the admission OF any animals
from there.

Flood Scare In Over.

Boston, April 10.-The food scare

waters from five days of heavy rains,
has died out, and tonight the reports
indicated that change for the bet

losses will be heavy, no doubt, but
nothing to be compared to the fresh
cts OF recent springs. The reason ls
obvious to people In Southern New
England, for the early spring left
the ground open for good soaking.
and this natural absorption OF the
rain Is taking care of much of the
water, while the great surplus of the
overflow, being unimpeded by ice, is

when they do not take time to enjoy
the pleasant little things scattered
along their pathway. How often the
children call our attention TO a pretty
flower, a bright pebble, a gay little
bird song, and we say, Yes, yes; run
away now" Why not withdraw our
thoughts from our work for moment
and enjoy with the children? 1t will
not only keep us young, but it will keep
us close to the children and give us an
influence over them which we would
not otherwise have.-Mrs. L. Thomas.
