LETTER INSURANCE.
System Inaugurated in the Canadian
Postal Service

w. R. Holloway, consul general OF the
United States at Halifax, N. g., informs
the government that there has been inaugu-
rated in the Canadian postal service sys-
tenn of letter insurance by which the gov
eminent takes the risk for small addf-
tional fee. The fees are cents for SO.
cents for SIS. cents for $50. cents for
$25. In addition to these fees are the regu-
lar registration charges. which must be
paid by the sender.
Thus, surprising the letters to be not more
than the regulation weight for the 2-cent
rate, the cost OF sending letter worth $25
would be 10 cents-2 cents for postage. 5
cents for registration and cents for IN
surance. Upon paying this amount the per-
son sending the letter will receive special
receipt from the postmaster and the letter
will be shown to be of value by a red seal,
which will be affixed. The regulations COW
erinr this matter are very full and ex-
nlicif in order to guard against the posi-
biuty of the letter breaking open and the
article Of value dropping out. letter ten
dered for insurance must be inclosed In
strong envelope or cover and properly COW
erred with gum or wax. Coins, precious
stones. iewelry, etc, must be inclosed in
ufficienfly strong boxes, to be put up in
accordance with directions furnished by the
postmaster.

BRITISH DRINKING.
Scotch Take the Most Spirits and the
English the Most Beer.

contradiction of the assertion that
drunkenness is on the increase in Great
Britain. has been entered by the Rev. Daw-
son Burns, D. D.. In, a contribution to the
london Times. says United States Consul
Mahin. at Nottingham; England. in re-
cent report. A table submitted by DR..
BURNS shows a decline IN the production OF
intoxicating liquors ofsabout $25O00.oo0 in
1908, as compared with 1902. He suggests
no reason for this decline. but adds that as
business in nearly all lines was very dull
during the year. as the number of people
out of work was greater than in 1902. and
as the drink habit Is most prevalent among
wage-earners. 1t y not unfair TO s mr,se
NAV have been Involuntary.
DR.. Burns says that an analysis Of the
returns for ths united skingdom show that
ireland consumes per head slightly more
spirits than England. and Scotland nearly
twice as much. OF beer England consumes
75 per cent more per capita than ireland,
and over 300 per cent more than Scotland.

Grants Strategy Recalled.

1T Is still my opinion that Kuropatkin has
reached the limit of retreat without imped-
Ing the enemy. Around Hai-chen he has
some fine opportunities. Take Chin-muchen
for instance. where the armies from Taku-
shan and Feug-huang will probably unite.
There seems to be chance TO get there
first and TO strike at either one from a
central position. Chin-muchen Is about
twenty miles south OF Hai-chen, and
would advise to keep II In view.
This campaign strongly recalls the
strategy OF Grant In his Vicksburg cam
psign. Before attempting the investment
