Patronize Rural Routes.

Patrons of the rural routes keep a
sharp eye on the future develop
ments in the service on the part Of
the government postoffice depart
ment if you would keep in force the
routes that are already established.
The government is going to cause
quite furry when it makes known
it's position along certain lines.
Every route must do sufficient
amount of business to warrant the
expenditure the government is put
ting into them to insure their main
tenance. Consequently move
ment is ON foot to discontinue all
those on which the business is in
adequate. Specially selected men
are to be put out into the field to
conduct rigid examination of the
routes that have been placed, and
they will be sent out to inquire into
the details and make their recon-
mendations. A route of ordinary
proportion should handle each
month between 5, 900 and s, 900 pieces
of mail. Some reach as high as 1O,-
600 in thickly settled communities,
others fall to an average of 1000.
1t is this class that the government
will investigate and it is up to the
farmers on such routes to show why
the service should not be discon-
tinued. IF the business is found to
be less than it should be recon-
mendations will be made first as to
what should be done to remedy the
difficulty. Then if the business does
not pick up the routes will be ordered
discontinued
In connection with the investiga-
tions of the agents the good roads
questions will be reconsidered. If
the roads are found to be in poor
shape and not maintained with the
idea of assisting the carrier in every
possible way, that fact will cut con-
siderable figure in the recommended
tons of the agents.

State Insurance Commissioner
Host has prepared his report on the
business done by the fire insurance
companies of the state during the
year 1902; which shows that the
total amount of risks written during
the year was 1912, $50, III; the print

13; losses incurred, $1,000, 555, 20

was profitable business during the

Upon being asked to write a
short description of boy this is
what certain young pupil handed
his teacher: "A boy is wild animal
like me. A boy is always girl
when he is baby, for his mother
makes him wear dresses, but as soon
as he gets pants on he begins to feel
like man, and he is one when he
is twenty-one. A boy is a queer
article anyway you take him. He
don't like the girls much till he's
grown. He likes his ma and pa
pretty well, but he's more devoted
to an air-rifie than anyth ing else.
The only trouble with boy is that
he can't be man fast.

INTEMPERANcE OF WOMEN.
There Are 5000 in London Who Have
Been Convicted of DruakeaaeA@
Aere Than Ten T1neS.

Intemperanee among women was
the formal subject of discussion this
week at the Church house. Westmin-
ster. Sir Thomas Barlow, the kings
physician. speaking on the medical
side of the question. said that intern
perance among women had striking
effect on the nervous system.
The type of illness. said Sir Thomas
due to drink. resulting in PARALYSIS
was much eommoner among women
than men. None of the worst alco-
holic diseases could be cured in les
than IL months. Removal of the cause
was more efheaeious than other treat
ment.
The bishops of London and Kensinr-
ton testified TO the terrible results Of
taking drugs, which habit they said
was very prevalent among society
women in the west end of London.
1t was stated, says the New York
Times, that in London alone there
were $500 women who had been CON
yicted of drunkenness over ten times.
