Perfect In quality.
Moderate In prloe.

In the annual report of Postmaster
General Robert ]. Wynne, for the
fiscal year ending June 80, just issued,
he urgently recommends the estab-
lishmeit of a new rate of postage in
connection with the rural service for
the delivery of small parcels. 1t is
shown that there has grown up de-
mand by patrons of the rural free de-
livery service for the handling Of
light packages Of merchandise, and
the present rate of one cent per ounce
Is declared practically prohibitive.
For instance, a grocer who receives
an order over the telephone for a
pound Of coffee would have to pay six
teen cents to send 1t by rural delivery.
The postmaster general suggests to
congress that a rate of three cents
per pound or any fraction thereof be
authorized for packages of this class,
no parcel to exceed five pounds. This
rate is intended to apply, however,
only to packages deposited at the To-
cal postoffice for delivery to patrons
on routes from that office. A special
stamp is recommended for this class
Of matter.

Gems Found In Maine.

The minerals of Maine are becom-
ing Of worldwide reputation. The
great aQua-marine, found in Stoneham,
and probably the most valuable gem
ever found on the American continent,
has recently been purchased as a val
liable acquisition to the crown jewels
Of Germany. The German prince,
while in this country. saw the gem
at Chicago and admired it so much
that the government has been nego-
tiating for it ever since, and recently
sent man over to this country, who
finally succeeded in closing the trade,
taking the gem back to Germany
with him. At the worlds fair at Chi
cago the gem was valued at $4,000.
1t weighed 1873 carats. One crystal
taken at Paris, Me-, this summer has
been sold for $500.

Shouting Their Praises.

Kirkland, ILL.,, Jan. -(Specia)
Cured Of the terrible Rheumatic
pains that made him a cripple for
years, Mr.. Richard r. GreenhOn, an
old and respected resident of this
place Is shouting the praises of the
remedy that cured him, Dodds Kid
ney Pills.
II had the rheumatism in my left
limb SO that could not walk over ten
to fifteen rods at time, and that by
the use OF two canes" Mr.. Greenhon
says. 81 would have to sit or lie
down on the ground when l was out
trying to walk and the sweat would
run down my face, with SO much pain.
j could not sleep at night for about
five or six weeks.
81 tried different doctors medicines,
but they were all no good. Then
sent for Dodd's Kidney Pills and
almost from the first they brought
relief. BY the time had taken four
teen boxes of them my rheumatism
was all gone and can truly say
feel better than I have in the last
twenty-five years."

PLANS ODD FACTORY TOWN.
Ebenezer Rowland Pounds Garden
City With House for Each Family,

An industrial town unlike any other
In the world is about the rise near
London. II is to be called Garden City,
because every house will be surround
ed by Garden. Ebenezer Howard is
the protector of this Utopia and he
has, after many years, induced rich
philanthropists to form stock com
pany and to furnish the large capital
necessary to begin work.
There is to be one family to each
house, flats and two-family houses
being absolutely barred; the total
population is not to exceed 10000 and
maximum of one-sixth of the town
area is to be given up to buildings.
There are to be factories, but every
window of these is to be window
garden. Meat is to be supplied direct
from the surrounding farms each
fanny is to grow it's own vegetables
on its own land; cows to be pastured
in the town and each house is to be
hygienic and pretty. Garden City is to
be governed by board of managers
and is to be managed strictly as
business enterprise. There Is nothing
socialistic alb 1t end the residents
will have little to say about the gov
ernment of the place.
The projectors expect to scatter
such Garden Cities all over England.

Cremation Of Dead Soldiers.

Military critics say that the Japan.
ese have great advantage over
Christian nations in the matter of
sanitation because of their method of
disposing Of the dead by cremation.
After the great battles OF the civil
war in the United States the soldiers
slept in graveyards and drank the wa.
ter tainted with the seepage from the
graves OF the dead. During that war
one man in sixty-five was killed in bat
tie, one In fifty-six died of wounds
and one In thirteen died OF disease.
