farm wages ever paid is offered, hands
cannot be secured.

Mails by Electricity.
From the Evening Post.


Count Taeggi, the Italian inventor Of
what he calls the electric post, is in London
for the purpose of explaining his system to
the authorities there. In press interviews
he has given more details of his scheme
than have been furnished by the cable. He
proposes to forward letters at the rate of
from 200 to $50 miles an hour. Wires will
be erected at an altitude corresponding
pretty nearly to that Of the telegraph wires
at present. They will be in the form of
aerial railways, two wires forming track
On these lines will be run miniature car
riages propelled by electricity. The whole
apparatus will be inclosed. The wires are
to be supported by posts. To avoid collision
between the cars and the poles the wires
will rest on arms projecting from the up
rights. There will be two main lines, one
letters, and all large cities and towns
would be served by them. Radiating from
the large towns there will be lines to the
smaller towns in direct communication with
the main line.
The idea is that the public will simply
have to drop a stamped letter into any one
Of the many posts and the invention will
do the rest. Within the poles there will be
an apparatus to stamp the letters-that is,
impress the locality and the time of post
ing-and on the approach of the electric
tram the box containing the letters will
be automatically raised to the top and the
correspondence emptied into the 'carri-
ages" They will then be carried to the
central office in the district be automatical-
conveyed to the sorter's tables. After they
have been sorted they will be again take n
to the top Of the building and forwarded to
their destination.

Telegraphic Postage.

From the London Chronicle
The idea that letter placed in suitable
receptacle could be conveyed by electricity
at rate well nigh comparable to that of
the express trains seems to have struck
an italian experimental, Piscicelli by name
The nearest approach to the system is that
or "telepherage," but here the rate of pro-
gression is, of course, relatively slow. In
the case Of the Piscicelli system it Is in
tended that the letters should be conveyed
in boxes composed Of aluminium along wires
arranged on the overhead system analo-
gous TO that seen in the tramways of many
towns Experiments are to be made with
the system between Rome and Naples, but
there are so many very obvious difficulties
in the way of the scheme becoming gem
orally useful that we may await the results
Of these experiments before hailing the in
vention as benefit to mankind at large

LOVE-MAKING.
A Religious Opinion That Romance De-
clines in Our Complex Modern Life.

~>ANsS
chnes in Our Complex Modern Life.
From the Christian Intelligencer
For several reasons there Is less romance
IN and more holding back from ove-making
than formerly. Not that youth is less sus
ceptlpie. Here there Is no change. But
young men have grown more anxious con-
corning ways and means than their faith
ers were, more solicitous to have an income
That viii warrant their marrying and be-
ginning home life, and more doubtful to
make wife happy on small means than
men used to be- Many young men are so
agreeably established in pleasant bachelor
quarters, where they have home comfort
IN addition to independence, that they
do not know the forlorn estate of the men
who Is encamped in the dreary waste Of a.
boarding house
Girls, on the other hand, have become
self-supporting to an extent hitherto I'M
dreamed Of Those who go to college are
fitted for a professional career, and often
having spent four years In college study
and two or three years more In direct train
Ing for medical work or teaching or Jour-
naiism, they prefer spinsterhood. Great is
the delight a woman has in earning money
In hnding that her talents are of value and
her services worth an honorable sum- al
most equal to the amount q man can earn
In the world s market. Thousands of young
women. too, who never go to college, earn
their bread and assist their families Some
times these girls know that they cannot
easily be spared from home; sometimes
they have grown Indifferent to marriage,
and sometimes they feel above the men
who would naturally seek them, while they
are not the social equals Of men whom
they admire.
Life has taken on too manifest a COM
plexity in many places. Artificial wants
are multiplied A man might make very
comfortable livelihood for girl who would
live very simply within his means, but he
cannot afford much hired help or much en-
tertaining or many chiffons. Feeling this
acutely. he often does very scant justice to
the sensible girl, who II asked, would &C
cept him and cheerfully accommodate her
self to his day of small things

Advance in Cost of Material.
Automobile Sea Scouts.
From the London Star.

AS military motor bicycles have already
proved themselves to be Of value in scout
ing it is probable that in nearly every
civilized country they will be largely used
in future land warfare. Why, If the fast
land scout prove so useful, should not the
navy adopt the same methods? A boat.
sixty feet long. with two twenty-five horse
power engines, built very light, TO carry.
say, four persons, and to be capable of con-
siderable speed, would be a most useful
addition to a battle ship of a fleet The or
binary torpedo boat is too long and draws
too much water for scouting near shore or
in shallow water. but launch might be
made to draw less than three feet of water.
and vet have a speed of upward of thirty
knots There would be no tunnels or
smoke TO attract the notice of the enemy,
and with underwater exhaust the boat
might be made almost silent. II built low
in the water or with the power Of semi
subrnersion 1t would be difficult for the
enemy to observe. and still more difficult to
hit Probably such craft would be more
useful than anything yet invented in the
way of scout for sea purposes.

Japan is said, to be taking to the beer

beer seems to be one of them. 1t has
sent it's young men abroad to study gov
eminent, finance, war, art and commerce.
Now 1t is sending them out to learn the
best method of mixing hops and barley.
A year ago Mr.. Ayemora of the Sapporo

the result Of Mr.. Ayemora's search Mr..
Mashaski Fujta of Hokkaido is now a

Mr.. Fujita is planning to spend a year in

Thomas Nast's First s.Hunt.n
ON the New York Times.

From the New York Times.
A good shot and an entertaining story
teller, Tom" Mast was welcome during the
shooting season at number of country
houses in England. But his first invitation
was a bitter lesson to him, simply because
he failed to observe the sharp diferentia-
ton between hunting las she is known in
England and in this country. On board
ship Mast made the acquaintance of a Hert-
fordshire man. master of the hounds near
st. Adams. Mast received and promptly ac-
cepted an invitation to hunt.
