Box Rent Rates.

Heretofore, rates governing the
rental of postofice boxes were fixed
upon no established basis, with the
result that at certain large postofices
rates were lower than at many small
Offices; the charge for small boxes was
in many cases higher than that which
should have been made for large boxes;
rents were sometimes collected at the
same rate for boxes of all sizes; and
at postofices of like class in the same
vicinity, equipped with similar boxes,
rents were collected at widely different
rates. In order to remedy these con-
ditions and to provide a definite and
satisfactory rule for the collection of
box rents, a schedule based upon the
kind and capacity of boxes and the
gross receipts at various postoGices
was placed in effect Jan. I, 1907, and
will be strictly adhered to hereafter.
The schedule fixes the rates for boxes
at the local postodice, where the an
nual gross receipts are more than $4,000
and less than $4,000, as follows:
Small call boxes, per quarter, 25cents;
small lock drawers, is cents; large
lock drawers, Is cents.
In this connection the following in
formation regarding the manner of
collecting box rents will prove of gen.
eral interest: "Box rents must be col
lected at the beginning of each quar-
ter for the entire quarter, but no
longer. Ten days before the last day
of each quarter postmasters are re-
quired to place bill bearing the date
Of the last day Of the quarter in each
rented box. Tf a boxholder fails to
renew his right to his box on or before
the last day of quarter the box shall
then be closed and offered for rent
aud the mail will be placed in the gen
eral delivery.

Again the printing press was called
into use, and another holiday edition
of the Arctic Eagle was printed. Again
the steward worked diligently to give
US a banquet in which polar bear
steak was to be the piece de resistance.
On the march north, in trying to
save me, the steward had fallen with
me into glacial crevasse seventy feet
below the surface.
Thankful for our rescue after tina
awful e1 perience, Christmas meant
more to US than it had ever meant be-
fore, and to the rest of the small
party who had saved US, and lad with
US fought darkness, thin ice and pres
sure ridges in the long march to our
northern station, it had more sacred
significance.
A peaceful spirit lowered over our
banqueting board, and instead of the
toasts and hilarity of the previous
Christmas, there was quiet thought
fulness. We talked of home and Of
the coming sledge work north, and we
thought of the men at Cape Flora and
at Camp ziegler, many miles away.
The temperature had fallen to As de-
grees below zer@ but for once the air
was still. An almost full moon lit up
the icy vistas outside and the fires Of
Aurora blazed overhead.

RAILRoADING IN RUSSIA

A third-class carriage in Russia is
not at all uncomfortable if you have a;
thick blanket, because every passenger
has a right to the whole length of a
seat
Three people can sit on the seat, but
only one can lie on It, The other two
lie in berths above you or below you,
as the case may be- The seats are made
of wood and if you have a thick blanket
and a pillow they are quite as COM
Portable as any other bed.
When you step into the carriage 1t
is like entering pandemonium. 1t is
almost dark, save for a feeble candle
that cutters peevishly over the door,
and all the inmates are yelling and
throwing their boxes and baskets and
bundles about. This is only the process
of installation: it all quiets down pres
entity and everybody is seated with his
bed unfolded, If he has one, his lug
gage slowed away, his provisions
spread out, as if he had been living
there for years and meant to remain
there for many years to come.--London
Post.
