in England person can be sent from
one part Of the kingdom to another by
mail-just as il he was nothing more
than a mere letter.
One day a man called at St. Martins
lie Grand with the object of consulting
a directory and finding the address of
a customer who lived in a remote part
of BALKAN. He was not acquainted
with the locality, and was most anxious
to see his customer at once. These
facts he mentioned to an obliging clerk
behind the counter.
He was at once informed that he
could be sent to the required address
by registered mail at fee of six cents
a mile. The man gladly accepted the
offer, and in less than a minute found
himself in charge of a smart messen-
ger boy who very soon guided him by
the shortest route to his destination.
The boy carried in his hand a print
ed slip with the description of his
mailed parcel under the heading, AR
ticle required to be delivered" and this
he required the man and customer to
sign before he left the latter's house.

WHAT'S in A NAMEa

New York Herald: The word ehauf-
feur. meaning stokef, was satirically
applied by the French to the driver Of
an automobile.
In eJfferson market police court the
other day Magistrate Breen expressed
the view that the supercilious attitude
Of chaufeurs toward pedestrians and
ordinary drivers Is due to the high
sounding" name OF their calling.
1T seems to me" said the magis-
trate, that II would be good thing
to change the aristocratic name Of
chauffeur to something palmer, like
motorman or driver. Then the super
iority will not be so apparent"
This opens up psychological field
Of inquiry too wide for us to enter
upon. Magistrate Breen, however. de-
clared that only drastic laws and their
strict enforcement can do any good"
and held for trial at special sessions
two persons charged with running ma
chimes at excessive speed in Fifth av-
enue.
That's practical Any one who
"scorches" with a heavy machine
through the city's streets should not
be let off with trivial fine. but should
be tried and punished. If that is done
1t really won't make much difference
whether he calls himself an automo-
biist. chauffeur of just plain stoker

penscs of the present schools are
taken from the town report and
the others are estimates made as
honestly as can be made at present The
salaries of teachers in the five schools

S1034 The cost of board was $40. The
cost of fuel was 500. of janitor service

that three teachers could do the work now
being done by five. on that basis the
salaries would amount to 1904 and the
board s2i5. Figuring that the fuel and
ianitor service would cost about the
same under either system and adding
the $l0S.95 paid for repairs the past year
to the saving Of $685. on salary and board
account we have a total saving of SOB %
for the consolidated schools not counting
the rental of the town hall school room.
which ought to cover the increased cost
of transportation The figures show con-
clusivcly that we can secure all the BEN

these schools without any increase of
taxes, by borrowing or bonding for a
term of years and paying the debt in in
stalments OF $500 each year, the amount
saved being sufficient to pay the interest
