CONTRACT SYSTEM IS COSTLY
Conclusions Of the Superintendent Of
Foreign Mails.

According to the annual report OF
the superintendent of foreign mails
1t cost the government during the fis-
cal year ended June 30, 1905, $421, $50
more for ocean mail service under the
contract system than it would have
had had the mails been transported
and paid for by weight. The most
disproportionate cases the report
shows are those embracing the routes
between San Francisco and Tahiti
and New York and Havana. In the
former instance the cost was S42,120
for carrying mails which, If paid for
by weight. would have been but $1,153,
while 1t cost TO transport the mails
to Havana $71,S7S, but which IL paid
for by weight, would have resulted in
an outlay of but $2,239. In but one
instance is it shown that the contract
system worked advantageously to the
government, and that was on the New
York and Southampton route, which
cost s662,6SS, whereas, 1t is stated,
had it been paid for under the system
of weights, it would have involved
an expenditure of $119,74S additional.
The excess of cost of contract serv-
Ice on the several routes as against
what it would have been If paid for
by weight is as follows: New York
to La Guaira, s14,9S6; New York to
Maracaibo, $S6,109; New York to Tux
pan, $106.S00; Boston, Philadelphia
and New York to Port Antonio, $780,
s5S; San Francisco to Sydney, New
South Wales. $206,796.
The quickest trip between New
York and London was 144 hours and
six minutes, and between New York
and Paris, 155 hours; between San
Francisco and Yokohama. 401 hours
and SO minutes, and between San
Francisco and Hongkong. ga hours

MIsdsmeanor Trial Ended in Adjourn
ment to Tavern.

A Virginia colonel wen known in
Washington had the unusual expert
enee some time ago of being called
upon by justice OF the peace in one
Of the rural districts of the old do
minion to sit as associate in the trial
Of misdemeanor case, n0twithstand-
ing the fact that no warrant for the
action existed beyond the coloners
title. his dignified bearing and his lit
erary attainments. A drunken row
had occurred among several young
men of the village, resulting in an ar
rest When the matter was brought
before the squire 1t was sufficiently
late in the day for him to be feeling
the effects Of his regular morning,
noon and afternoon indulgences-
Therefore he realized the need Of
sound, reliable advice.
When the request was made Of the
colonel it was in vain that he protest.
ed that he had no authority under the
law to sit upon the bench. The squire
would take no refusal, and the colonel,
observing the farcical character OF
the proceedings, finally consented.
The case being called and many wit
nesses sworn, the colonel noticed that
the squire was conducting the hearing
with the code of Virginia upside down
and opened at the section detailing
the fence law. The associate Justice
proposed that an amicable settlement
be suggested to the complainant and
the defendant This struck the squire
as brilliant idea, for he was labor
ing heavily with the intricacies OF the
fence law and the misdemeanor prop0-
sition.
Excellent suggestion, SIR, excellent
suggestion" he announced in ponder
GUS tones. Then turning to the par
ties of the proceeding and the wit
nesscs, he said: Il shall follow the
course proposed by my distinguished
colleague and offer to this defendant
the olive branch instead of the iron
hand of the law. This case shall be
dismissed IL the persC! accused OF
this misdemeanor will agree to treat
the crowd to good liquor. and plenty
OF it. What do you say, sir!"
Scarcely had the squire finished
before defendant, complainant and
all the witnesses joined in a great
shout of glee. They lost no time in
accepting the offer, and didn't stand
on the order Of their adjournment to
the village tavern.

it with a sheet of damp moss and
above this a sheet Of florists paper.

hand. taking care that 1t fits into the
corners and around tho sides. The
flowers should be placed in. row after
row, until there is layer of flowers

put one layer on the top of another.
The rows must be as close together

The less noise baby hears. the less

for the first six months of his life. the
better it will be-
1t is seldom necessary 10 take him
from his crib. except for his bath and
meals. The habit of tossing him
about and trotting him on the knee
makes him nervous and wakeful, and
cannot possibly do any good.
His undeveloped system calls for
rest, yet he is often denied that priv
ilege.
Children. as well as older people. are
to a great extent creatures of habit,
and they cannot acquire habits that
are conducive TO proper development
and health of the body at too early an
age.
1t is during sleep that the building
up forces work without interruption
and the child gains in flesh and
strength.
Have regular hours for his maps, and
see that everything is favorable for
piCCp at that lillc- lHClC bnOulu bC
no tight bands to hinder respiration.
Place his crib in such a position
that the light will not shine directly
upon his face-preferably in cool,
quiet corner. Do not cover him too
warmly; change his position occasion
ally, and he will sleep longer.
If baby is restless and does not
sleep well, it is well to remove some
Of the covering. Baby should not be
covered too warmly, but should have
just enough covering, SO he won't be
cold.
Never give your baby soothing sirup
Of any kind. except on the advice Of
your physician.
Whenever baby shows the slightest
symptoms of sickness II is best to
call a physician at once. since much
harm may be done by only few

Taste in Ornaments.

There should never be many mantel
ornaments-the fewer the better-and
It is important that they should be
in keeping with the room. A Dresden
china figure is not. for instance, fitted
to the appropriately decorated library
or dining-room. and in turn heavy
crockery is not used in the parlor.
Candlesticks are ornaments. however.
which look well in almost any room.
and these in brass. silver or glass,
at each end of a mantelpiece are al
ways suitable and attractive. Tall
brass sconces are also used.
