POSTWAR FOR EACH TONGUE
Cosmopolitan Letter Carriers Are Now
Employed by Authorities Of
Singapore.

1t is in Singapore where the British
post Office authorities employ letter
carriers for each language. In that
city there are so many different races
who receive correspondence addressed
in their own native language that
proper delivery is extremely difficult.
In several districts it has been found
necessary to send the postmen upon
their rounds in sets of three. One of
these, a Malay, in charge Of all pack
cts for Europeans, Jews, Armenians,
Malays, Arabs, Parsees and Japanese,
which are presumably addressed in
European script or in writing akin to
it. The second of the trO is China
man, who deals with correspondence
bearing Geographic characters, while
the third is a Tamil. who delivers let
tiers addressed in the writing of his
own race, as we'll as any in Telegu
and southern Indian writing. These
cosmopolitan postmen have, Of course,
often to consult each other as they de-
liver the mails, but sometimes even
their varied linguistic attainments
have to be supplanted by a Sikh who
understands HindostanI Persian and
the characters of northern India

BLACKS MORE coNsUMPTVE
Increase of Disease Among Negroes
Since Emancipation Is Be-
coming Noticeable.

According to DR.. Thomas ]. Mays,
Of Philadelphia, pulmonary consump-
ton was comparatively unknown
among the plantation slaves of the
south before the war. while in the
large cities of the south it was no
more prevalent among them than it
was among the whites. In Charleston,
s. c., the negro death rate OF con-
sumption in 1860 was the same as
among the whites-viz, LIS; in 1876,
whites 200, negroes 6.95; in 1890.
whites 3.55, negroes $50; in 1902,
whites LAB, negroes 5.74 Before the
civil war insanity, like consumption.
was comparatively rare among the ne
gro slaves. According to DR.. T. o.
Powell this disease increased 705 per
cent among these people from 1870 to
1890 in Georgia The same is true Of
North Carolina, for DR.. ]. F. Miller,
superintendent of the eastern insane
hospital of that state, declares that
from 1885 to 1896 insanity increased
ESQ per cent. among the colOred people
in that state. The conclusion of DR..
Mays, which was presented to a recent
medical congress, was that slaves as
property were better cared for than
free negroes care for themselves. AS
to the future, a campaign Of educa-
ton" is suggested.

ROMANCE OF sUMATRA LEAF
Hany Little Episodes Are Attached
to This Unique Tobacco
Plant.

The story of Sumatra leaf tobacco,
as grown under cheeSe-cloth in Con-
necticut, is one of the romantic cpl
sOdes of agriculture. says a writer in
Country Life in America. A Florida
fruit grower had some tobacco plants
that got into his pineapple shed by &C
cident. and he noticed that they were
taller and of finer texture, under the
lath shade. The bureau of soils, while
surveying the Connecticut valley.
found a soil that was practically the
same as that of Sumatra, on which
the famous tobacco is grown. (The
bureau has samples of soil from al
most every important agricultural re-
gion Of the WORLDLY The government
got an expert to start an industry,
and the first two years some Of the
growers made over 100 per cent profit.
The industry, as a whole, is success
full. A large company with plenty of
capital is necessary, for it costs
$3.50 to cover and grow an acre Of
this tobacco. The growers receive
from S1.20 to $3.50 per pound for the
product The imported article brings
$3.50 to 50, and we have been i'm
porting about 5000. 900 worth a year.

Care of the Hands.

When washing the hands always usu
a pure soap containing no free alkaIi
and rinse the soap thoroughly away.
Chapped hands are common to indi-
viduals with poorly circulating blood,
and also to those who frequently i'm
merse their hands in either hot OF cole
water. This cosmetic jelly should be
used frequently as a preventive Of a
rough, sensitive surface. Thirty grains
Of gum tragacanth, seven ounces Of rose
water. one-haf ounce Of glycerin, one
half ounce Of alcohol, one teaspoonful
of pure borax and two drops Of oil Of
rose. Let the tragacanth stand in the
rose water for three days, strain and
add other ingredients. This makes .
delightfully."- lovely clear jelly, which
dries Immediately upon application and
which never leaves the skin oily. 1t
can be used on face or hands.

but found that there were demands upon
his time that compelled him to indefi-
nitely postpone the rest he contem-
plated. He then arranged to take a
hunting trip as diversion and dream
of a few weeks quail and deer shooting
in Virginia. The republican leaders,
however, had other plans such as jubilee
dinners and meetings at which he was
expected to be present. AS national
chairman he could not decline these en-
tertainments, and again his programme
Of rest was interfered with.
Mr.. Cortelyou takes everything philo-
sophically, and lives on the hope Of some
time getting away from political wor-
ries and really enjoying period Of rest.
Such an experience will be rather odd
for him, as since 1897, when he became
assistant secretary to President McKin-
ley, and a year later secretary, he has
had very little opportunity Of enjoying
the recreation and rest which ordinary
mortals account as necessary. He has
been in the habit Of devoting from 16
to Is hours every day to his work. That
application did not seem to have any
effect upon him. for he would show up
at the white house at nine O'Clock in the
morning as fresh and energetic as
though he had retired at nine in the
evening. instead Of two hours after mid
night. The long strain. however, is tell
ing even on Mr.. Cortelyou. and the ire
mendous work he performed during the
late campaign has added five or ten
years to his age.
II Chairman Cortelyou can get away
he will either go to the West Indies or
Europe, and remain there until the 4th
of March. He will then enter Presi-
dent Roosevelt's cabinet as postmaster
general. If he desires TO indulge his ap-
petite for work. he will not be disap-
pointed in that position. OF all the
heads of departments in Washington
the postmaster general Is the busiest
and. if so inclined, can put in more hours
Of work than any Of his colleagues.

INGENUITY TEST OF MIND.
Inventive Ability, Says Professor
Thomas, Is q Sure Sign Of
Mental Soundness-

Another test Of mental ability which
deserves special notice is mechanical
ingenuity, says Prof. w. l. Thomas,
In the Forum. Our white preemi-
nence owes much TO this faculty. and
the lower races are reckoned de-
fective in IL. But the lower races do
invent, and 1t is doubtful whether one
invention is ever much more difficult
than another. On the psychological
side, an invention means that the
mind sees a roundabout way OF
reaching an end when II cannot be
reached directly. II brings into play
the associated memory and involves
the recognition Of analogy. There Is
a certain likeness between the flying
back of a bough in ones face and the
rebound of a bow, between a serpents
tooth and a poisoned arrow, between
floating timber and a raft or boat;
and water, steam and electricity are
like a horse in one respectively will
all make wheels go around. and do
work. Now, the savage had this
faculty of seeing analogies and doing
things in indirect ways. With the
club, knife and sword he struck more
effectively than with the fist; with
hooks, traps, nets and pitfalls ne
understood how CO seize game more
surely than with the hands; in the
bow and arrow, spear, blow gun and
spring trap he devised motion swift
er than that of his own body; he pro-
tected himself with armor from the
hides and scales of animals, and
turned their venom back on them
selves. That the savage should have
oricinated the inventive process and
carried it on Systematically is indeed
more wonderful than that his civilized
successors should continue the proc
ess; for every beginning is difficult

HIGH TRAINING NOT HEALTH
Athletics Beneficial Only When APP
piled Properly and JudiciAus-
ly, Says PhysiciAa.

After an exhaustive examination or
the case for and against athletics, DR..
Robert E. COughlin, of Brooklyn, n. Y,
comes to the following conclusions:
THE prime object in athletics is i'm
proyement Of the geaeral health. Each
writer has said that health, like happi-
ness, does not exist Each has a goal
or limit which, while seemingly attain
able, eludes perfect possession. The
body consists of a number Of mechan-
isms which have the closest and most
exact relations. and as they approximate
TO harmony there is health. but when
disordered there is i'll health. To OBJ
tain good health muscle-building is not
a necessity. One cannot judge Of per-
sons health by the size and hardness Of
the muscles. We have seen that the
converse may be true. To obtain health
one must not be in a perfectly trained
condition, owing to the effects OF severe
training on the nervous system. There
is no evidence to prove that athletics
and muscle-building improve the con-
stitution. One sSould always keep in
mind the fact that built-up or hypertro-
phied muscle has a tendency to degen-
crate The heart being a muscular organ
shares in this tendency. Although the
evidence for and against athletics isl
contradictory, the whole subject may be
summed up By saying that athletics are
beneficial when properly and judicSus-
~ applied. and highly injurious whenI
the precautions above mentioned are
ignored or careleSsly regarded"

COUNTRY GIRL COSMETICS
Right at Hand, the Country Girl Has
Materials for Beauty
Lotions.

The girl living on farm has so many
materials at hand with which to make
acceptable gifts to city friends, and not
the least of these are the ingredients for
harmless but helpful cosmetics. And,
by the way, asks the Pilgrim, did you
know that word cosmetic was derived
from a Greek term signifying skilled in
the art OF decoration or ornament?
From the first, rhubarb sprouts and let
tuce leaves on through spinach (for col
oring creams and lOtiOnsJ, strawberries,
cucumbeTs, watermelOns and ounce,
with honey and milk and nuts, the girl
on the farm has the best and purest
materials TO choose from and work with.
An expensive Italian cream is made
from the ground green seeds Of cucum-
bers, melons and pumpkins made into
-four which is slightly perfumed and
made into paste with sweet cream.
The basis of nearly al washes for
chapped hands is ounce seeds, so one
can make their own at slight expense by
adding extract of witch hazel to the
emulsion. With care the girl living on
a farm should have the proverbial rose
leaf or peaches and cream complexion
until she is at least 70 years of age. The
Juice OF cucumbers enters largely into
the preparation Of many face creams and
watermelon juice is famous southern
face wash. Tomato juice is fine for an
oily, greasy skin and the acid Of straw
berries rivals that of lemons as bleach
ing agent. The basis Of the most salts
factory cream is clarified mutton tallov,
which, made creamy with almond oil,
sweet with your fayorite perfume and
colored with the juices Of lettuce, spin
ach. rose petals or currants, will give
both beauty and pleasure to the re-
cipient. Try out mutton suet in dou-
BILE boiler Just as lard is rendered, and
when 1t is cold use the top portion, melt
ing IL in a bowl set in hot water, strain
through a hair sieve, then through
cheese cloth, and heat in the almond
oil or other ingredients while still
creamy. The addition of one dram of
tincture Of benzoin or one-half a dram
of salicylic acid will prevent the emul-
sion from becoming rancid.
