SUNDAY MAIL DELIVERY.
Maiden, Mass, Mans Plan for Secur.
ing the Service to Be Tested.

somewhat novel eXpcdient in the
mail service is to be put to the test
OF experiment in the city of Maiden,
Mass. The postofice at Maiden is now
one Of the hundred ana odd postal sta
tons Of the Boston postofhcc.
resident of Maiden, Z. G.. Under
wood. is to be credited with the sug-
gestion which the department is to put
TO the test. In brief. the plan consists
of an arrangement for delivering mail
on Sundays TO such patrons of the or
flee as are willing to pay 10 cents for
each delivery. This arrangement NAV
have been suggested by the special
delivery service with which the public
is already familiar In this case. how
ever, the addressee will pay the 10
cents instead of the sender, and in
stead OF paying 10 cents on one piece Of
mail delivered. will pay that sum for
the delivery of his entire bundle of
mail.
The department is understood to
have been willing to make the expert
ment. seeing therein a possible relief
from the difficulty which now exists in
certain large offices in obtaining good
go A'i ''up''titutc ttiIIltIS. III those
Offices substitutes are obliged to re-
port every day, and while they obtain
as rule more substitute work than a
substitute carrier in a smaller Office,
they are obliged by reason Of this daily
report to devote more time to the ser
vice, for which they do not receive
adequate pay, because this Service in
terfercs with any regular outside en-
Payment. 1t has been found in many
instances exceedingly difficult to OBJ
tain suitable men for the service. This
proposed plan may afford additional
work and pay for these carriers.
Whether the scheme, if found Sue
cessful at Maiden would prove salts
factory if put in operation in n city
ike Augusta can only be cOnjectured.
The conditions, however, are essen
tally different here from what they
are in the city Of Maiden. While the
general delivery window in Augusta is
never closed, that at Maiden is kept
closed. at least the greater part of the
day on Sundays and holidays; conse-
quently the patrons Of the Augusta
Office have better facilities for obtain
ing their mail, and it is doubtful
whether enough patrons could he

for Sunday delivery.

 Indian Silver WeFk.

Mir. Bake of the Big Curio store has found that the demand for Navajo bracelets is so great and so growing that it is difficult to meet it. He at tributes his trade in these articles in part to the coming of the bracelets into fashion and to the knowledge which the people have gained that the bracelets sold at the Big Curio are genuine and not cheap limitations of the curious and artistic work of the Indians. Most GUS toners who call at the Big CuriO say that they can satisfy themselves no where else that what is offered them is genuine.
 Another thing that contributes to the demand for the bracelets is the coming in of the short sleeved waists. making some kind of a bracelet almost a neces- Isity. There is nothing else more tasty Tor handsomer than these Navajo brace lets, which also have special values as curios.
 E A great many of them are being bought to be sent as presents to friends in the east, where these bracelets can not be obtained at all. Mir. R. w Chamberlain and family. after a resi- dence of many years in the city. are now about to leave for their former home in the east. After a canvass of the city in search of the things which they thought they would rather take back with them as valued mementoes of the west they went to the Big Curio store, where they bought 8 large and varied assortment of blankets and sou venirs, of course including a lot Of these bracelets.
 Speaking of souvenirs, there has been received at the Big Curfo store a ship ment of Indian souvenir spoons. no two of them alike. They include the cere- monial spoons of the Indians. such as the harvest spoon, the lucky war spoon and the spoon of the medicine man. MT. Bake will be pleased to explain the significance of the various kinds 10 visitors.
 Within the last week curiOs to be sent all over the United States have been procured at the Big CuriO. Per sons about to set out upon journeys to Europe are also supplying themselves with things that they think will be Of interest to friends abroad.
