The German Farmers Wife Sends Poul-
try to Market by the Letter


In Germany there Is no regulation
against forwarding live animals by parcel
post and the farmers wife can take ad-
vantage of the fact to send her fowls,
geese and ducks to market by the letter
carriers, writes Anna. Woodward in Good
Housekeeping. Dogs and cats are also
sent from place to place by the same
method. In fact, the parcel post system
Is conducted altogether broader lines
In Germany and some other countries
than in England. For instance, the Ger
man postoffice not only delivers parcels
but undertakes to collect payment on the
&C. o. o" plan. Herein lies a great ad-
vantage both to tradesmen and to the
housewife. and since the parcel weighing
eleven pounds, which costs in England
twenty-fv cents to send. costs in Ger
many but six cents, or rather less, it is
not surprising that the German postoffice
handles twice as much business as the
English. '. - II. ~. =

she once made with the great opera
singer, Madame Calve, for as Calve knows
only about six words of English. it was
necessary for her to be accompanied by
an interpreter.
Madame d'Hardelot IS very particular
to set to music only such lyrics as have
style and beauty of their own, which
accounts for the long intervals which
sometimes elapse between her publica
tions. Her own voice is charming, and
her talent for getting all possible effect
