A eJr OF RUSSIAN HISTORY.

More than one hundred years ago
many small peasant boys Of Russia
boys from ten to fifteen years of age.
were letter carriers. These boys car
ried letters for the government or pri-
yate persons through the villages OF
towns For any short distance. say
anything within ten miles, the post
age charged by the government on a
single letter was about one cent of
American money.
The Russian government at that
time carried letters into Siberia, dis
tance of 1900 miles. for only nine
cents; and for distance of 1000
miles the rate was only twenty cents.
Russia then had the cheapest postage
mail service in the world.
At the same time England was
charging on short distance twenty
eight cents. and fifty and sixty cents
for long distances Think of writing
letter that was. only to travel fifty
miles and paying twenty-eight cents
postage on it, In France at the same
time the rate was twenty-five cents
for a single letter for 600 miles. In
the United States. then only the Thir
teen Colonies, the rates for letters go
ing any disance ran from fifty cents
to one dollar in English money.
AS late as 1916. G. Frederick Wright
notes that the United States govern
ment charged ten cents for carrying
any letter over 900 miles, although at
that time Russia would perform the
same work for an equivalent of our
twO-cent piece. In 1871 mail once
every two weeks was established be-
tween Moscow and Tobolsk, dis
tance of 200 miles. Yet in the same
year the mails between Boston and
New York, only $50 miles, could be
delivered only every two weeks.
Going back to 1874. the mails were
carried in England by horse and man
at a speed of not more than four miles
an hour The same year Russia was
sending her post clerks and horses in
to Siberia at the speed of eight and
ten miles an hour It was no uncom
mon thing for her mail carriers to
make 200 miles in single day.
Russia today carries her mail and
delivers it as rapidly-and more ac
curately considering her immense ter
ritory-as does the United States.
She further does this as chaaply as
does the republic These facts, are
worth considering. because an impress
|ision exists that Russia is not a civil
lied country.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR

A man can get very fond Of nice
girl that won't marry him.
Content is somthing you think other
people have when they haven't.
1t is really wonderful how many
tucks a woman can get in such little
thing as her age.
Maybe Adam put up that whole ap-
pie game just to get discharged from
his farming job.
Any woman should be mortified to
death if she went in swimming dressed
the way she goes to dinner.
1t takes a terrible lot of Indigestion
to make a man feel as bad as stopping
smoking to cure it.
For every love letter man writes
when he is engaged he writes ten thou
sand checks when he is married.
The only way you can get your wife
to side with you in an argument is
to have her mother-inlaw side against
her.
1t is terrible hard to convince a wo-
man that Just because you are saying
nothing you are not thinking ugly
things about her
When man spends the night play
ing poker with the president of his
company wife is pretty sure he is eX
planning to him all the reasons he has
shown her why he could run the COM

| And there they all sit, in neat, prim
rows. upon the opening day of school
Later on, as the term advances, there
may be less of shining of morning
faces. but there is no fault to be
found with toilets upon the opening
day of school. Like little soldiers
awaiting the word of command from
captain or general, they are alert. The
teacher to them is a wonder person.
All that she stands for in the eyes of
little Jack or Jill they will never-nO,
or wise they grow, be able to put into
words for your reading or mine. If
YOU have grown to be a wise. an old
q gray Jack or Jill, try now to tell of
all that your first teacher stood for
| to YOU and then confess your failure,
for fail you will.
The schoolroom is the first vista
through which little Jack and Jill peer
down the long street of life. 1t is the
Portal Of all that is to be hencefocth
lost or achieved. In going into the
schoolroom for the first time little
Jack or Jill leave for the first time
,, the mother wing. 1t is the first step
along the way taken without the moth
er hand to lead. Presently they will
begin to surprise the watching mother
by their wisdom. The little mind un-
folding will amaze her. and the grasp
of little Jack or Jill of the reason why
two and two make four will cause her
! to catch them up and exclaim breath.
lessly, "Now, | have boy no longer.
See how clever is my little Jack! And
little Jill weaves lamp mats of colored
paper so cleverly, and know she will
be scuptress by the way she models
birds nests from clay. And, see, lit
tie Jill can spell and write"
Oh, it isn't kind to show the least
sign of impatience when little Jack
and Jill, all fearful, hesitate upon the
threshold of the schoolroom. Better
it is to tuck little Jacks hand in yours
and take him we'll within before leav-
ing him. Do not give him one Of
those cruel little shoves and bid him
not to be so baby1sh.
Once we'll within, little Jack and
Jill fall in with the ways Of the othe'
children more seasoned, and all goes
we'll They take their places natural
ly-perhaps it is some inherited trait
that makes them. At first the mys-
terry of it all keeps them calm and en-
during, and before this has worn Off
al that they do has become fixed
habit and the worst part of the battle
is over-M. H.

JAPAN'S WAR CRY

There are few, If any. parts of the
world into which the Salvation Army
has not penetrated, and even among
the subjects of the emperor of Japan
are thousands of loyal followers OF
Gen. Booth.
An interesting account of Salvation
army work in Japan is given by Mr.,
Charles Duce, the chief secretary OF
the Japanese contingent of the army.
Starting work eight years ago on a
small scale, they have now thirty
eight corps and outposts, and ninety
officers and cadets, nearly all of whom
are Japanese Ten thousand copies
fortnight OF the Japanese War Cry
are circulated, phenomenal sale for
a religious periodical in Japan, where
even some of the great "dailies" have
a circulation which barely equals that
of an ordinary provincial paper here.
