A Curiuu. Mail System.

Switzerland has as good a postal
service as can be found anywhere. 1t
has about 10000 postofices and abo,1t
2OOO letter boxes ard it delivers mails
to the very top of the Alps. The postal
service does many things that our
officials would not think Of doing. 1t
acts as banker and express company
for the people. 1t will collect your bills
for you and bring the money to the
house. If you live in switzerland and
man owes you, say, 81, all you
have to do is to send him bill for the
amount in Il sealed letter with word
or two to the postoffice on the outside
of the envelope, and, in addition, two.
cent stamp. This stamp pays the post
office for it's trouble in collecting and
delivering the money to you. The
charge is about one per cent. of the
amount and for this the money will be
collected in any part of Switzerland.
If payment is refused. however, the
authorities will not enforce the collec-

CHAPTER XXXVII.
A TURN OF THE WHEEL.

Three days went by; three SLOW
footed, miserable days, and another
evening was nearing its waning, and
no ring at Miss Rogers house bell had
as yet announced the artist, nor had
the post brought her any message to
relieve her anxiety or explain his neg
lect. The only comfort she had re-
ceiyed was that which came with the
discovery that the name of Hamilton
Degraw had not appeared among the
list Of cabin passengers sailing in the
Etruria. The manner in which he had
cut short his approach after her song
argued a suddenly conceived deterrni-
nation. He did not wish to acknowl-
edge her devotedness. He felt that it
came too late or was prefaced by too
much hesitation to be real, and so took
this way to express his displeasure and
withdraw his claims. 1t was a crush
ing experience for her; it was humil-
iating one. She would not see Hillary;
she would not see any one. She paced
her room by day and tossed upon her
bed by night. II the bell rang her
heart gave such leap that she could
not recover from the shock for minutes.
and if by any chance letter came she
grew quite i'll between the time she
saw it in the servants hands and the
moment it reached her own.
And, as has been said, the clock was
vergins toward on q Friday night.
Though Jenny has forbidden her maid.
Clai"ette, to bring her any card which
has not the name Of Hamilton Degraw
upon it, the s!rl is standing in the door,
way with an inexplicable smile on her
lips and q small silver tray in her hand
an which Jenny can family see gleam-
ing white bit Of pastebord She tries
to he calm, but she springs toward the
girl, sezes the card, gives it one look
and becomes in an instant another

There is a peculiar look on Clairett's
face, hesitancy in her manner, but
Jenny Rogers observes neither. She

Power From yvaye.Action.

Probably upon no other single sub.
ject. save that Of navigation of air,
have so much thought and energy been
expended as upon the conservation and
utilization of the power exerted upon
our sea coasts by the force of the
waves. And certainly since the days
of the alchemists and astrologers few
themes of thought pursued for prac-
tical ends have resulted in so little
reward to their students. For with all
the theories Of securing power from
wave-action that have been evolved,
with all the designs of machines for
such purpose that have been drawn.
and with all the patents that have been
granted upon such drawings. do not
know to-day of q single machine that IS
an unqualified success, or for which
the success stoutly claimed by the IN
ventor is horne out by the actual opera.

Violet Cloth For Aftern DON.

A light shade of violet broadcloth is
used for a lovely afternoon gown. The
skirt is long and has a circular founce
finished with four wide folds in tuck
effect. The waist has yoke of cream
lace over white chiffon, and this is
made to look like an inner garment by
the outline OF dark fur which borders
the cloth part Of the waist. The band
of fur extends down tie side Of the
waist to the belt, as on q Russian
blouse. and there are four large rhine
stone buttons that appear to close the
gown. A ripple bertha, edged with
fur, calls over the shoulders. shawl

the newest color for spring and sum-
mer wear. This is grayish blue. and
is suggested by the robes worn by the
knights of the Holy Grail. 1t is q
delicate tint and will be becoming to
most women. In the last act Parsifal
wears one of the gray-hlue nantes,
and all the knights are arrayed IN
raimert of the same color. In the opera
these robes are embroidered with sill
yer. All the silk mills are turning out
bolts of Parsifa] blue. Those new
weaves, such as peau de sole, peau de
cygne, louisine and various crepes,
look wonderfully well in this new
blue color. BY the way, blue has
reached it's zenith and is the color of
the moment. Only 4 few Parsifal blue
gowns have been seen in public, and
there is the chance that this shade
may become the rage.

THE NEW ENGLAND STATES
Boston Publication Finds Evidence of Decadence-Cant Keep Up with
 March of Progress.

New England is stale, declares the Buffalo Times. Too far gone 10 keep up with the rapid march of progress, .t has dropped cut of ;hc pro,rssion. The Boston Her. .,d fncs evidence in recent sta. r:stics of the decadence of the erOup of states not only in ,n.lt. iral Influence and literary emf ncnce, but also in manufacturing and commerce. During the past year national banks increased in number, capital, deposits npd az sregatc resources in other parts of the union, but in New England there was smaller number of banks, less deposits and less az, gregate resources than at t:.e hp- ginning of 1903. In manufactur- ing New England has not kept abreast with other sections of the country. The textile industry Is in part absorbed by the south and other lines of productive industry are appropriated by the middle and western states.
 The Herald believes that special legislation would restore to New England it's Oldtimc prosperity, but there is grave douht as to the adyisahility of providing it. The Baltimore Sun, discussing this proposition, ably says that New England is 2 corner of the country, and national policy that suits the rest of the union does not nee. esaarily favor q remote corner.
