Of villages the size OF Randolph have Il
walk perhaps u mile, according to the To-
cation of their houses, TO ascertain wheth'
err or no the postoffice may have anything
for them. However the villagers are not
complaining Of the hardship, and but few
of them would care to be deprived OF then
daily excursions to the postofiice and the
social swapping OF news and opinions that
goes on among the assembled multitude
while the mail is being changed.
So widespread has the rural system be-
come that the rulings which affect II are
now OF general interest, like the recent
order OF Postmaster General Cortelyou
decreeing that hereafter service ON all
rursl free delivery routes shall be sus-
pended on New Years day, Washington

ticed, is denied them, as that is the one
day in the 1856 when patrons are most
anxious to receive their mail.
To secure a more accurate handling OF
the mail by carriers, the postoffice depart
ment is arranging for the numbering OF all
rural letter boxes, and instructions viii
be issued in a short time to postmasters TO
assign to boxes entitled TO service consee-
utive numbers, beginning with the first

quent TO the original numbering viii be
assigned the next consecutive number IN
use on any particular route. After the
boxes are numbered, ordinary mail mat
ter can be addressed to them by number
alone, the same as is now permitted IN the
case OF postofiice boxes.
Before the close Of the summer months
the boxes, OF which there are 100000 IN
the country, are to be given coat OF bril-
liant green paint, applied by the carriers
according to an agreement made with the
postmaster general, the paint being fur
nished by the government. The carriers
will be allowed so much per box for their
work OF painting, which must be done 80
as not TO interfere with the mail service.
