Daer Sir:-The purpose of your
society, as shown by Article 3, is not
only fraternal, but has for it's object
the study and abortion of the best
methods of performing the duties of
the position and of giving the best
service to the Government, and in
crease it's revenue, and also the i'm
provement of the condition of all it's
members. [ am grateful to know we
have such an organization in our
Stae. 1t is very commendable and
deserves encouragement and the sup
port of, not only every Rural Free
Delivery Carrier, but every officer of
the Government and the entire peo-
pie of the country who wish to see
the service perfected as near as may
be, and the officers who fill the posi-
tons frst-class in every respect.
Very truly yours,

upon the kind of rock from which the
soil is obtained.
A physical topic of interest is
friction. Take a piece of smooth
planed board, say 10 by Is inches,
securely fasten a hook in one end,
and in this hook fix a Dair of or1i-
nary spring balances. Drag the
board across the floor by the bal
ances. How many unces r. regis
tered? Place a five pound weight
upon the board and drag acros as
you did before. The balances regis
ter the pull due to friction. How
does the friction increase with the
weight? Test by use of 5, 10, Is and
20 pound weights. Similar test the
relation between friction and sur
face. Use the same weights, plac-
ing the block on edge, thus decreas-
ing the surface. Is the friction de-
creased or increased at all by this
change in surface?

Nature Study for Late November.
LEE S. OVERMAN.

Messrs. Editors: Following are
further suggestions for Nature
Study in the schools for late Novem-
Der:
First Grade: Air.-Call attention
of the children to the conditions pre-
vailing during the formation of
frost and dew. Are they most album
dant during windy or still weather;
upon highland or lowland; in the
neighborhood of forests, buildings.
water, etc.
The Soil.-Nice little experiments
can be made to show that soil alb
serbs and retains water. To do this
take an ordinary flower pot or a tin
can with a hole in the bottom of it,
fill it with dry soil and place it in a
saucer containing water. A day or
two later examine it and call atten-
ton to the fact that the water has
been absorbed, and note the damp
ness of the soil due to the fact that
the water has been taken up by the
soil. Remove the flower pot from
the saucer and note hat the water
is retained in the soil. It does not
run off.
Second Grade: You may each day
call attention to the direction of the
wind. Is it p~revalently from any
particular direction? How many
days of the month is it from the
North, South, East or West? From
which direction do the most violent
winds come? Whence the warmer
winds? Which kind of winds bring
rain? Note also the action of rain
upon clay and sand. Which of these
wash most? Examine old fields in

A Thanksgiving Thought.

At this glad season, when we are
thinking of many merry plans, [ won
der how many of us have realized that
in our own country there are some
very lonely ones whom we might so
easily remember in His name?
To be very plain: "Is there in
your county any plan for taking to
the"County Home" on Thanksgiv-
ing Day, a bit of gladness, a mes
sage of His love? Whose work is
this? Why not yours?
Then, too, why not on this day or
at least on the Sunday following take
to the county jail and to the prison
ers on the road near your home the
glad message that though they are
away from their homes-far away,
perhaps from the right path-they
are not too far for His love to bring
them back, not too far for Him to
care for and

Won't you ask and see? If not,
won't you, not only at this season,
but often, think of two neglected
classes right in your own county
the inmates of the alms-houses and
thep risoners, who SO need Him? Are
they not so often forgotten because
everybody thinks it is another's work?
Shall we not one day meet before
His throne all these who have been
in our own county at this alms-house
and behind the bars? VIII they be

Dear Sir:-Whether your mail
carriers organization shall succeed
of not, and whether it shall render
good service, depends altogether up
ON those who guide and control its
DESTINY. It can be used either for
selfish and partisan ends or for the
public good.
I must confess that / have had no
experience with the subject, and,
therefore, my opinion can only be of
the most general character. With
best wishes,
Yours truly,
