VERMONT MAIL UTES.

The payments for mail transporta-
ton in Vermont, outside of the rural
routes are interesting when analysed.
of all kinds of mail routes in the
State, excluding rural routes, there
are 2, 400. 81 miles This includes rail-
way mail routes. electric car mail
routes, star routes, on which the mail
is carried in stage coaches, and sew
eral other methods of transportation
by vehicles.
The railroads in the State naturally
received lions share of the money
paid for transportation. In these days
the popular demand is for rapid trans
portation of letters and papers and the
railroads are the only agents that can
comfy with that demand. The rail-
way mail routes in Vermont are
S92. 80 miles long in the aggregate,
that being practically the railroad
mileage of the State. The amount of
travel with mail over these railroad
routes during the fiscal year was H.
924, 1873. II miles in the aggregate.
For this transportation the govern
ment paid the owners Of Vermont
railroads $l40, 100. 04 during the last
fiscal year. and $40. 14S. 80 more for the
use of postal cars, making the total
for railroad transportation $3.50, 293. "a.
In thinking of these figures it is we'll
kta k<.No Nf nj
travel on mail routes in Vermont dur
ing the year was 3,212, 1888 miles.
The iron horses, therefore, covered
more than one-half of it.
But the Vermont stage coaches,
plodding along over the steep hills
and rocky roads, made no mean record
for themselves. The aggregate length
of star routes in Vermont is /, 46S. 81
! miles, on which was travelled during
the last fiscal year an aggregate of
|, 09S, 045. 80 miles The cost of this
service to the government was SOL,
1870. As In the actual figuring on the
! contracts it was found to be one-
! fourth Of cent more, all of which il
duly recorded by the departmental
bookkeepers The transportation OF
mails on Vermont electric roads cost
the government for the year 50, 264. 90,
, the total length of electric mail
routes being % 90 miles, on which
there was an aggregate of travel
amounting to 72,6l6. A miles Then
minor sums were paid for mail mess
enger service and for wagon screens
! in the larger communities.

AGE NO BAR.
Everybody in Montpelier Is
Eligible.

Old people stopped with suffering
Middle age oourageously fighting
Youth protesting impatiently;
Children unable to explain
Baby crying can't tell why.
All in misery from their kidneys.
Only little backache first.
Comes when you catch cold.
Or when you strain the back.
Backaohe is the first step to kidney
trouble
Many complications follow.
Urinary disorders, diabetes, Bright's
disease.
Doan's Kidney Pills cure backache.
Cure every form of kidney ills.
Plenty of Montpelier proof that this
is true.
O. s. Whittier, retired mechanic, of
80 Prospect street, says: while do
rot wapt it understood by my friends
and acquaintance in Montpelier that
Doan's Kidneys Pills, procured at
w. E. Poole's drug store have radical
ly stopped the pain across my loins
and other indications of unhealthy
kidneys, attacks of which have an
noyed me for fifteen years, L can posi-
lively assert that the remedy has
brought vast amount of benefit. If
anyone subject to the backache so
acute that they cannot bend or stoop.
or if he sits in an upright position for
any length of time the muscles of the
back ache and after any exertion
brought on the lolns that part of his
anatomy becomes sore and stiff and
when there is added to it another
complication, trouble with the kidney
secretions both distressing and annoy
ing he is only too pleased to recon-
ment the means employed which
brought relief. 10 say that Doan's
Kidney Pills helped me greatly and
to say that | endorse the preparation
mildly expresses my opinion"
