SPARKLING PARLORS.

Sweethearts' Parlor" is an innova-
tion to be introduced at the Union
Bethel, the leading charitable institu-
ton of the city of Cincinnati. The
Rev. James o. White, the new super
intendent of the Bethel, said recent
ly:
"There are many homes in the city
in which there are daughters who are
of an age when they begin to seek the
society of young men. In many in
tances they cannot invite their sweet
hearts to their homes, as the homes
do not furnish suitable accommoda-
tions for social entertainment This
sometimes forces these young women
to meet the young men on the street
corners. want to give these young
women the accommodations that their
parents cannot give. and am going to
fit up our parlors and throw them open
as TWISTING place for these young
lovers

there were 1894 deaths, which is 10 and

morning at 10 :3S the passenger train
from Cambridge Junction TO Burling

Burlington and Montreal express train.
The accident was probably the result
of misunderstanding of signals. The
damage was confined mostly to engine

engine, which was derailed from her
forward trucks. Division Roadmasters
Buhel and Vincent were fortunately
on the ground and attended to clear

damage done to the cars. The delay
in traffic was about an hour and

THE CANAL AND COMMERCE.

Europe appears to be about as deep
ly interested In the Panama canal as
is the United States. For years the
canal has been regarded as possibil-
ity but not until the recent events has
Europe really appreciated what it
may mean in a commercial way to the
great nations of the world Now that
the canal appears to be a probability,
the editorial writers on the other side
of the water are figuring out what its
effect will be- Some of them take a
hopeful view, while others consider the
outlook gloomy for European COM
MERGE. All appreciate the advantage
that che United States will have in
the new conditions and from many
sources come words of self-reproach at
the inactivity of Europe which has
permitted this country to 'get the
under hold" so to speak. A writer
in the Economists Francois (Paris)
says:
"But if the United States has given
to the world a Supplying example of
power and energy, let us not hide
from ourselves the fact that Europe
has at the same time presented the
spectacle of her own weakness. do
not mean that Europe ought to have
opposed by force of arms the rold
stroke of the United States in the
isthmus. But I do mean that Eu-
ropean countries should open their
eyes and take note of the aggravation
preparing for them in the opening of
the canal. The time has in
| deed come to regret that the past has
left so many causes of misunderstand-
ing among the nations Of the Old
| World

THE MAN THAT GRINDS.

Now this is the song of the man that
grinds-
The song of the hero unsung,
Who slaves through the day in reso-
lutte way
For meagre results and indifferent pay
And praise from flattering tongue.
The first flush of dawn sees him right
as his post,
The sun bids farewell to him there;
His comrades forsske him for pleas
anter fields,
But seldom he falters and never he
yields,
And always he faces despair.
The plutocrat gloats DER his store of
gold
Late wrenched from unfortunate
hands;
He chuckles and schemes and greedily
dreams
And watches the shimmering, soul
stunning streams
Of wealth that he proudly COM
mands.
The genius seeks madly for further
acclaim,
For laurels and evergreen bays;
He mumbles his lines, and eulogy
pines,
And ever he chases the phantom that
shines
In Fame's dim and tortuous maze.
But this is the song of the man that
grinds--
The song of the hero unknown,
Who adds two and two, and never gets
through
Until, when his loved ones have bid
den adieu,
He weaIily comes to his own.

QTHIIR ROPES General Editor
YNE'S REPORT.

The report of H. O. Payne, post
mastec general, just made public
shows that the business Of the post
office department continues to in
crease at rapid pace, the total re-
ceipts from all sources in 1908 being
$134, 224, 443. "a as against 1921, S4S,-
047. 26 in 1902. The expenses increased
bit faster, being $l3S, 7S4, 4S7. 81 as
aginst 1924, 7S5, 697.07 the previous
year. The deficit is 81, $50, 044. %, an
increase of about a million and half
over that for 1902. but million
less than was estimated. This differ
ence is PRINCIPALLY accounted for by the
fact that the receipts increased more
rapidly than was estimated by about
a million and a half
The expenditures for rural free de-
livery were $S.011, 635 48 during the
fiscal year. This branch of the service
nearly doubled in business and number
of routes during that time. On June
30, 1902, the close of the fiscal year,
while a year later the total was TO-
119. During the year 300, 42S, 1873
pieces of mail were distributed by the
rural carriers and 48. 954, 800 pieces
collected. On June 30, there were
H. 700 petitions pending Tor the estab-
lishment of rural routes. In addition
to the delivery by rural carriers a
large number of star routes have been
added so that now there are 20, 613.
the total length of which amounted TO
249 864 miles and which cost So, GA,
500. 95.
Just how much additional expense
is really incurred by the governm emit
as a result of the establishment of the
rural free delivery and star routes
cannot be estimated with any accuracy,
because of the many elements enter.
ing into the problem which cannot be
definitely sscertained. There Is no
doubt, however, that these changes
entail somewhat increased expendi-
lures. But it is also true that as a
result of them numerous post offices
have been discontinued as unneces-
sary The report states that 4, 462
post offices were discontinued during
the year and that, The principal
cause for the large increase in the
number OF post offices discontinued has
been the extension of the rural free
delivery service. which resulted in the
discontinuance of 2,163 post offices
during the year.
1t is also true that the amount OF
mail to and from the rural communi-
ties reached by the new routes has
increased considerably and on the
older routes continues to increase, thu.
netting the government more money
in postage. The farmers have beer
quick to take advantage of the oppor
tunity to take daily papers and have
them delivered regularly while letter
receipts have grown. though not al
swiftly. The benefits to the farmers
and the country at large through thu
extension of the daily service hav,
been great both from business an6
educational standpoints. There il
no way that the government can d.
more to improve conditions in TIN
country and thereby benefit all thai
by continuing to extend the rural ser
vice.

it adds, twill gain immensely from
commerce with the eastern coast of
Asia, because it will be brought near
er to Yokohama or Hongkong than
either London or Hamburg is now. It
goes on to show how the distance
from Hamburg to San Francisco,
Hongkoug, Melbourne, and Yokohama
will be cut only in the case of the
former port owing to the Suez canal
being the shortest route to the others.
From New York TO San Francisco,
however, the distance by water will
be 9,54l miles less as against 6, 652
less from Hamburg. The distance
from Hamburg to Hongkong Mel
bourne, and Yoke hama will remain
the same, 10, 542, ~, 367, IL, 53l miles
respectively. From New York to
Hongkong by way of the Suez Canal
is now 1866 miles and will be $685.
by the Panama route. From New
York to Melbourne is now 10, 502
miles and will be 10, 427 From New
York to Yokohama is now 13, 464 by
the Suez route and will be 1885.
Thus it is seen that New York by the
new canal will be put nearer the great
undeveloped markets in the east than
Hamburg and London, and that, to
the European mind, has sign ficant
and gruesome outlook for Europe, and
bright and promising one for the
United States.
