ShipbuiIdinu on the Lakes.

Though there is something DONG III

there is much less activity there IMAM
we should all like to see. 1t Is III liz"

Lakes that work is most ruShlll. III
present. The quarterly report Of the
commissioner of navigation for the
three months ended Sept. 30 shows that
3l5 vessels, agsregatins 500 tons.
were built in the United States. This
Is more than double the tonnage put
into III. water in the corresponding
mIa,ter OF 1904, but the difference be-
tween An.37i and s., $50 tons is due to the
creator activity in the shipyardS of the
Great Lakes. In the quarter just
closed there were added to the Lake
marine e vessels of o5.576 gross tons.
The Lake builders are constructing
large steamers as a rule in these days.
Thus in September they launched ono
steamer q! G490 tons and another of
SIG. Of the GJ.Isb tons ahd'u W oui
m, reliant service last month two
thirds or 1851 tons are to be credited
| to the Lake shipyards.
but for their activity tho statistical
position of the United States in the
worlds new tonnage would be very
low, the launching on the coast repre-
senting comparatively little carrying
capacity. The inducements TO build
for the coastvisc service at present are
not many. and as for the foreign trade
there are no inducements whatever.
The pressure for new tonnage for the
| trade on th, Great Lakes is strong and
| urgent. and their marine is made up of
| excellent vessels. large, speedy. and in
| many instances built Oh ocean lines.

Growth of Postal Service.

Advance figures regarding the work
of the postal service for the past fiscal
year show Il remarkable growth. and
the extraordinary business activity Of
the country is reflected in the heavy
gains shown by the postal receipts. as
we'll rs in the expansion disclosed in
every branch Of the service. The total
revenue Of the department will be
about $l0,G000 900 in excess Of that OF the
previous year. The money order bust
ness exhibits an Increase OF 20 per cent.
and reached the 81. 900, 900. OOU mark But
the most striking evidence OF growth
may be found in the fact that the de-
partment sold 500 1000, 900 more stamps,
stamped wrappers and postal cards
than in the previous year. In spite of
the growth of the postal service there
is still All annual deficit, however. but
as il is due to the extension of the
rural delivery system no enlightened
citizen will complain of it. Uncle Sam
does not run the postal service as a
money making scheme but for the ac-
commodation Of the people, and on ac-
coun. of the vast territory which the
service covers and the cheap. prompt
and safe service maintained it is hardly
to be expected that there would be a
balance on the profit side of the ledger
as there is in Great Britain Germany
and France. The deficit is much less
is every prospect that the service will
soon be self-supporting.

Ono Way to Save Money.

A miser who died in Washington. last
week, left a fortune of 100000. There
have been misers before and fortunes
of $500 900, but the strange thing about
this case is that the old man had been
a school teacher all his life. From the
story Of his life, as told In the Wash
ington papers, the most misery of men
may gain suggestions in finance, econ
omy and caliSthenics. Years ago he
abandoned his wife because it cost too
much tu fed and dress the baby. His
landlady testified that he prepared his
own meals and did his own laundering.
A young lady, a school teacher under
him, testified that when they got on
street car the old man would stand on
the platform until she paid the rare.
The young teacher said the only time
she ever knew him to give way 10

feels deIir!ous in his gold craving and
shameless in his parsimony when he
gets his wife to cut his hair, but when
man twists himself into a condition
TO cut his own hair he not only proves
himself the prince Of misers. but shows
himself content with a very rough
