The PostorfIce Deficit.

The deficit of $12,O0O,000 in the
postal department for the fiscal year
calls renewed attention to the out
rageous manner i'm which the govern
ment is held up by the railroads in
the matter of charges for the trans
portation OF the mails. II is well
known that the general public has to
pay unfair prices. but the general
shipping public escapes.
The government pays about eight
times as much, pound for pound as
the express companies pay on the
same trains, and the government pays
rent for the postal cars while the ex-
press companies pay, nothing for the
express cars. But every effort to Sc
cure fair transportation rates for the
mails is effectually blocked by the
railroads.
When it is remembered that the
government pays the railroads up
wards of $35, ,OOO,O 900 a pear for trans
porting the mails the public may have
a better idea of why the railroad
managers take so much interest in
electing congressman and senators.

various departments of the "P. o. d.

All He Gave Her.

There were six of them, each in a
new gown. 1t may be that the gowns
only looked new to the newspaper
man. but at any rate the young wo-
men We're quite content with them
selves and each other as they boarded
a Broadway car. They had very little
regard for the dull routine and COM
mOnplace details of life.
The announced intention of all was
to transfer to Thirty-fourth street,
and to this end the girl in the red hat
got six transfers. But the other five
changed their minds before they got
to the transfer point. and declared
themselves in favor of shopping TO-
ray Only the girl with the red hat
stuck to the original plan and board
ed the Thirty-fourth street car. To
the conductor who came to take up
her fare she handed the bunch of
transferable original six.
The conductor looked at her, and
on each side of her. and all around
her She was oblivious. Then he
said: Where are the others?"
The girl looked up, startled and
confused for an instant Then she
spoke with cold dignity.
"That's all the transfer man give
me" she said.-New York Sun.

worlds Greatest Battle,

That "the naval battle in the straits
of Corea will rank among the deci-
sive events of all time" is the opin-
ion expressed by writer in the Chi
cago Tribune. This writer says:
There have been many naval con-
tests which were decisive as to their
immediate results, but which had no
definite effect. Don John of Austria,
in the bay of Lepanto, Nelson at
Aboukir Dewey In Manila bay won
glorious victories, but these fights
did not decide anything of the first
Importance. The fight in the Corean
straits, like the battle of Salamis the
battle of Actium, the destruction of
the Spanish armada, the British tri-
umph at Trafalgar. was not only de-
cisive in its immediate results, but it
will also exert a powerful influence
upon the entire future history of man.

Did the Tnriff Do Ito

Many years ago J. H. Sanders,
while a minister to France under the
Harrison administration took occa,
sion to say that while it was desira-
BILE for the United States to have a
settled policy in regard to wool, that
there were so many things that had
an influence on the wool market that
it was scarcely probable that a tariff
on wool would help the American
wool grower. Mr.. Sanders was edi-
tor of the Breeders Gazette at that
time and a stalwart republican. Just
what he thinks of the situation now
we cannot say. Wool today is out
of sight and all of the country news
papers in Montana, or nearly so, at
tribute it to the tariff and this may
be the case for aught we know, and
yet we do not understand how this
can be when wool is seven and eight
cents per pound higher in Londan
than Boston, and yet large quantities

COrregidOr Islands.

Manila Bay may be likened to a
huge bottle very loosely corked by
Corregidor island. This frowning
mass of rock nearly blocks the en-
trance, but leaves a narrow channel
on either side. No American can fail
to be filled with honest pride as he
surveys the situation and recalls that
memorable May day of 1898. OF
course he knows, and the world
knows, that the alleged sea fight off
Cavite that followed Dewey's arrival
was the mere battering to pieces, from
a safe distance, of a lot of helpless
craft that the Spaniards had vainly
imagined to be warships. But when
he sees Corregidor that should have
been, and was supposed to be heavily
fortified, and when he notes the mar
row channel between 1t and Miarvales
Point that should have been, and was
supposed to be. paved with mines at
the time of the American approach,
he realizes the sublime heroism that,
without tremor or sign of faltering,
sent those American ships through
midnight blackness, into what was be-
lieved to be the very jaws of death.
and he has ample reason to be proud
of his birthright.-From I'VE in the
Far East" by Kirk Munroe, in Four
Track News for June.

Osteopathy

In connection with the brain there
is a great cable having many bundles
of Give" wires, or nerves. This cable
is the spinal cord. 1t is encased in a
canal of "a bones connected together
by the muscles and ligaments. From
between these bones or vertebrae
pass 81 pairs of nerves, branches of
this spinal cord. Some of these
nerves go to the muscles giving sensa-
tion and motion to them. Some go to
the sympathetic nervous system,
whose duty it is to supply the organs
of the body with nerve force, the
power by which life is maintained in
the body. If vertebrae should be
slipped somewhat-even slightly
from its position so as to pinch one
of these nerves, perhaps irritating or
possibly paralyzing it, the organ it
supplies would then become either ir-
ritated or torpid. A disturbed rib or
other misfit at joint-no matter how
Sights thus liable to press on an
important nerve or vessel, and inter-
fene with its action, thus producing
disease. Thus we see it is necessary
to have the framework in perfect ad-
justment
This is what Osteopathy means,
and what the Osteopath endeavors to
accomplish.

ing.
Crush Enemy and sustain Glory OF
FatherIand

Car Nicholas has issued an order
of the day TO the army in praise OF
the heroic defense of Port Arthur
by Gen. Stoessel and his garrison.
The order says:
Port Arthur has passed into the
hands of the enemy, after struggle
lasting eleven months, during seven
of which the braye garrison was iso-
lated without hope. Nevertheless,
they sustained the siege, hardships,
privations and moral tortures with
out complaint, demanding that the
enemy would gain nothing without
paying. With handful of men we
withstood the enemy's furious at
tacks
"My brave soldiers and patriots let
not this sorrow discourage you. Our
enemy is brave and strong, and it is
extremely difficult 10 sustain a
struggle at a distance OF 10, 900 versts,
but Russia is great and powerful.
During her national life of thousand
years she has given hard proofs of
her ability to overcome even more
serious dangers. She has withstood
them and each time she has arisen
more powerful than ever and full of
renewed vigor.
I'VE are greatly grieved by the
lack of success and the painful losses
but let us not abandon courage. 1t is
in sorrowful times such as these that
the power of Russia rencws itself
II am confident, as is every Rus
sian, that the hour of victory is
striking, and God will bless my dear
army and fleet in their efforts to
crush the enemy, and sustain the
honor and glory of the fatherland."
