distribution of articles In the mails has to
be done with extreme rapidity and persons
who write carelessy would undoubtedly
make bad use of such provision permit
ting messages on the front of the card.
However, there is always some objection
TO everything, there is nothing perfect. and
I think the advantages outweigh the disad-
vantages and that the common sense OF the
great majority of the people who use the
mails can be trusted to for a rational use
of the privilege.
these are the important subjects from
the point of view OF the individual which
will be discussed. From the government
standpoint there is the great question OF
determining the ratio OF transit expenses
incident to international service-the rate
which one country shall charge for carry
ing another country's mails across its ter
ritory for transfer to still another country
for delivery. An instance of this sort is the
service rendered by the United States in
receiving the English malls at New York
and carrying them to San Francisco en-
route to New Zealand. Another important
item is determining the average weight
of international mails. The last weighing
statistics were taken in 1896, and II is for
the coming congress to decide when the

"THE ARABIAN NIGHTS"

Sir Richard Burtep's Translation 9f
ths Tales.
'"The Arabian Nights" was first
introduced TO Europe by French
man named Gaiiand, and the first
English versions were simply trans
lations Of his. Then q Dr., Scott gave
a very superior edition, Occasionally
corrected from Arabic" In 1889, how
ever, appeared an English translation
entirely from the Arabic, with copious
notes and illustrations. It was Ed
ward VIM, Lanes, a gentleman Whose
long residence In Egypt had fully
qualified him for the Wofk. rms
translation may be said TO have held
the field until the appearance OF one
by Sir Richard Burton. Sir Richard
was a daring and successful travel
er, who had remarkable facility
for acquiring eastern languages. He
performed a pilgrimage to Mecca dis.
guised as a pilgrim, a feat as difficult
as 1t was daring. In 1872 he was
appointed to the post Of British con-
sui at Triest. Here he applied his
knowledge of Arabic to making a
faithful translation of THE Arabian
Nights Entertainments" supplement-
ing his work with copious notes and
terminal essays which have been call
ed a mine of curious and diverting
information. Its publication caused
great sensation. Details were free
ly given that had previously been
suppressed. But the accuracy Of the
translation as a whole was candidly
acknowledged, and Burton may be
credited with haying made into the
English Language the finest transla-
ton OF these Wonderful Arabian
taies.-LsRdeR Answers.

NATURAL HISTORY In ARK.-A man
who had watched the affair and claim
ed to know about hogs, razorbacks In
particular gave the following disser-
tation:
Arkansas has a strange variety OF
hogs and less pork and lard than any
state in the union. An average hog In
Arkansas weighs about fourteen
pounds when dressed with its head on
land about six pounds and a half with
its head off. 1t can outrun a greyhound,
Jump a rail fence, climb like parrot
and live on grass, roots and rabbit
tracks. It hasn't much Of a tail to
sbrfstle, but plenty Of gall. 1t will lick
a wolf or a bear in a fair fight. 1t
is So called razorback because 1t Is
shaped like a sunfish. In hunting ra-
zorbaeiOs they are always shot at side
ways for there is not a ghost Of show
to hit them atherwise. any more than to
shoot at a split shingle. 1t can drink
milk out Of a quart jar on account OF
its long, thin head This type Of ra-
:zorback Is known as the stone hog, be-
cause its head is so heavy and its nose
so long that 1t balances up behind
The owner Of this type Of hog Usually
ties stone to its tail to keep 1t from
overbalancing and breaking its neck
while running. II the stone is too
heavy it will pull the skin over its
eyes and 1t will go blind."-Mineral
