V~rmont's Postal Facilities in 1922.

uarkable changes in the postal Ia
cilities of Vermont, as shown DS
old postal records of 1872 when
there were 1913 postoffices in the
state, as against SIS and 10 sub
stations today, and when there was
annually paid by the citizens OF the
state on the postage of letters, pa
pers and pamphlets only about
$40. 600, representing about one
fourth the amount paid today for
salaries in the 40 presidential offices
in Vermont.

Champion Fish Yarn.

The Representatives of the princi
pal Australian papers were taken
out to sea about fifty miles from
Brisbane in the pilot boat to meet
Nine. Melba on September g.. She
was travelling from Canada to Aus
tralia by the mail steamship Move
ra. While the pilot boat was wait
ing for the Miowera the ships COM
pany had a remarkable and probably
unprecedented experience. A great
gray shark, about twelve feet in
length, was hooked on a schnapper
line, which broke. A second time
the big fish got on the schnapper
line and escaped. Then large
shark hook with a chain was thrown
out. and the ravenous brute grabbed
it, and was caught. All hands, pilot,
cook, and press men, tugged the
shark to the vessels side. A huge
hook on the anchor tackle was put
through his jaw and one eye, and
the fish was then hauled out of the
water. One of the crew ripped the
monster open from the head to the
tail. The vital organs and entrails
were thrown overheard, and then
both jaws were hacked out for the
sake of securing the teeth. Nothing
but the shell of the fish remained,
and the shark was lowered over
board. A rush was made to the
side to see him sink, but the compa
ny was astounded to see the fish
make off. First he swan about fifty
yards away, returned to the steamer,
then went off on another tack for
about thirty yards, came back to the
vessel and swan astern, and was
still swimming when he was lost
sight of. That the fish could swim
away with the whole of his interior
from head to tail and the jaw and
one eye gone simply raised the hair
of the pilots and crew, who had new
er seen or heard of the like before.

The new Cathedral of St John in
New York will, in addition to its main
hall, have seven ''chapels of tongues"
where German, Spanish, French, Swed-
ish, Italian, Armenian and Chinese
services will be held each Sunday.
Nevertheless by the time the great
cathedral is finished it is not unlikely
that the crypt and transepts and ante
rooms will be required for other ma

Bishop Potter the other day to ask
that some provision might be made for
