Progress of Rural Delivery.

There are now according to the postoffice department says an ex- change, 35. 5.666 rural letter carri- ers-a marvellous increase in the brief space of less than a decade. Within that interval the appropri- ations made by congress to extend the usefulness of service jumped from $4O,OOO to nearly $26,OOO.- GOO.
 The farmer now receives his let ters and his newspapers as regular ly as does the resident of the c ty. notwithstanding the fact that he may live many miles from rail- road The inclemency of the weather or the distance to be tra- versed do not deprive him of these privileges. So long as he keeps the road in front of his house in a paSSable condition and complies with the other simple regulations of the postoffice department, these faithful nublic servants labor ard ously and with intelligence to put him on the same plane with and assure him the same advantages as those enjoyed by the man with all the facilities of centralized civil ization at his disposal.
 Free rural delivery has proved a great blessing to the farmer. In it's wake follow developement,spro- gross, increased land values and other advantages that he did not have before. With free rural de- livery, the telephone and in many instances the trolley car, life in the country is no longer monoto- nous. Moreover, the tide of immi- grafton from the country to the

Need of Forestry.

The fuller utilization of forest products which characterized the operation of lumbermen in 1906 marked the greatest gain of the year in private forestry" states the Yearbook of the Department of Agriculture. Eminent success in systematic effort to prevent damage by fire was obtained by private owners as well as by the States and the Federal Service.
 That forest preservation has come to be regarded as a matter of deep concern to every citizen is manifest. Private forestry has grown until not only are profess sional foresters employed regular ry by a number of large firms, But firms of consulting and contracting foresters supervise cutting oper- ations and guarantee to the own CTS renewal of the trees desired in the forest. Large users of forest products tend more and more to apply sound methods to the rais- Ing wpssdi esepe-rs.. .s s so> -etsli4sirr fr careful utilization.

Clans Eggs.

mother on her gllls. When there are
fish in the water with them the mother
clans discharge the eggs which soon
hatch. but IL there are no fish they
carry the eggs until they decay. The
reason Of this strange behavior Is this:
When the eggs are set free in the
water they soon hatch and the little
ones swim about until they find some
fish to which to attach themselves.
They live for a time on the mucus of
the fish and then drop Off, sink to the
bottom and form burrows for them
selves. This curious semiparasitic life
IL no doubt a reversion to the habit of
some ancient ancestor.

parties came to the city they were
received by Major Martin McGinnls and
presented with the freedom Of the
camp on q gold plate. The French
government sent three mining engi-
neers over 10 examine and TO report
upon the mineral deposits Of this To-
callty. They were received by Major
Martin MCGinnis, who put them in car
rIages and took them around the camp.
AS they were going up California
gulch the Frenchmen suddenly jumped
out OF the carriage and commenced
to hammer and chisel upon n large
black bowlder that lay alongside the
road. The major watched them ges-
ticulating TO one another, and lie final

Formerly the word church was equal

was sedulously eschewed In CONVERSE

case arose, as sometimes it would, in
which a sacred edifce had necessarily
to be referred to, 'cleeta" was used
instead of church, and whatever was

Of them, remarkably superstitlous. For
instance, on some fishing boats wills.
Ting is forbidden, and neither milk
nor burned bread is allowed on board.
Furthermore, not even the name of
that unlucky animal, the hare, may be
mentioned, and a common method of
furnishing an enemy is to throw a dead
hare into his boat. Some Of the fisher
men believe in luck attending an odd

The First Bathing Machine.

There does not seem to be much
doubt that the first bathing machine
was seen at Margate and lhat 1t was
the invention OF a worthy Quaker
named Beale, who placed his hopeful
invention on the Margate beach in
1850. "The public are obliged to Ben
tamin Beale, one of the people called
Quakers, for the invention" writes the
author Of "a Short Description of the
Isle Of Thanet," published In 1890.
But It was the old story, the public be-
came grateful after the inventor had
been ruined by his enterprise. His
successors had reaped the harvest.
Old Benjamin Beale's widow could re-
member IN her last days the first fam
lily that ever resorted to Margats for
the purpose Of bathing being carried
into the sea In a covered cart. In 1903
Beale's machines were n Of the In
stitutl0ns Of Margate. 1t was alarm
ingly claimed for them that "they may
be driven to any depth into the sea by
careful guides."-T. P.'s London Week

flowers. The truth Is that the English
people are an art loving one and that In
England more than In any region Of

In evidence everywhere and. with the

nially lntertwined with human exist
