Growth Of Rural p.Iiv.ry.

It is now only fourteen years
since an appropriation of $4,000
was made for experiments with the
project of rural free delivery. As
recently as ten years ago the ap-
preparation for this new service
amounted to only $4,000; last year
it was more than $25, 900, 900, while
this year rural free delivery will
cost $37 100000.
Every route proposed must be
inspected before it is accepted by
the department, more than 10000
rural carriers must be watched and
paid, and all the minute require
ments of the laws and regulations
must be enforced. 1t is great un-
dertaking, and we in the cities
should bear with some patience the
shortcomings Of the service which
we get while this necessity Of rural
development, this boon to the toll
ing millions on the farms, receives
the attention it so we'll deserves.
All the Improvements needed will
come in good time.-Boston Globe.

a suicidal Lion.

Thackeray almost broke the heart
Of q silent worshiper in Charlotte
Bronte when first they met at table.
"Behold lion cometh out of the
north" she quoted as he entered
the drawing room, while he, as one
of his biographers tells us, was feel
ing nothing but poor but ravenous
specimen of an Englishman. At
dinner she was placed, by her own
request, opposite Thackeray. Sand
I had," he said, 'the miserable hu-
initiation of seeing her ideal of me
disappear down my throat, as every
thing went into my mouth and
nothing came out Of it. At last as
I took my fifth potato she leaned
across, with clasped hands and tears
in her eyes, and breathed imploring-
ly, sOh, Mr.. Thackeray, don'tp"

The Nursss Vocation.

The distinction between the wo-
man to whom nursing is a vocation
and the woman who merely earns
her living by nursing is very real
one, although it is q very difficult
one to define. A nurse may be full
Of faults and yet have true voca-
ton, while, on the other hand, a
woman Of the most estimable type
may be lacking in the smallest spark
Of the divine fire. The vocation for
nursing leaps out from the hum
blest as well as from the highest
homes in the kingdom. Its one
shining mark is its yitality.-Hos-
pital.

Grow. Lettuce At Dinner.

'Yes," said a florist, II can work
miracles In my business. For instance,
I can grow you lettuce while you wait
sweet, crisp lettuce that you may eat
for your dinner with the broiled chick
en-. do 1t in this way: take hand
ful of lettuce seeds that have been
soaked overnight in alcohol. and
plant them In box containing three
inches Of loan and Quicklime. water
this soil, and in ten minutes the seeds
burst. In twenty minutes two tiny
leaves push through the earth. The
leaves grow and multiply. In an hour
they are as big AZ half dollars. Then
you may pluck and eat them. Some.
times when I give 4 dinner party
have one Of these little prepared let
tucs beds in the center Of the table.
The guests see the lettuce grow. and
when the time comes for the salad
course there is their salad blooming be-
fore them. ready to pluck"

Women and Children and Talk.

Women and Children and Talk.
DR.. Marade a French scientist and
inventor Of what he calls "voice teleg-
raphy." has discovered the reason why
women can talk longer than men. 1t
will be unfair to find fault with wom-
en- for talking hereafter, because we
now know they are built that way.
The doctor says: "A woman can talk
four times as long ~ a man with the
same expenditure Of energy. 1t Is mere
ly question Of the amount Of air
which escapes from the lungs during
phonation. and, a. woman's larynx
is narrower than q mans and ch:ld's
than woman's. It u evident why chill
dren can prattle for hours at time
and why women can maintain the ia.
tigue Of conversation SO much more
easily than a man."

Wouldn't Puff III. War.

Napoleon III. had given orders
that reporters should not be per-
mitted to accompany the French
troops as reporters. His reason was
characteristic: "The effects of our
mitrailleuses' will be SO terrible,
and those writer's will make such de-
scriptions of them, that our battles
will impress people as mere mas
sacres, and everybody will have a
horror of them" A reporter of LIE
Figaro, Alfred d'Aunay, was so in
dignant at the empercr's order that
he exclaimed: every well, then. We
will not puff this war!"

That the New York butter market
should have been affected by the re-
cent Russo-Japanese war may seem
strange. but such is the case. The lat
ter. indeed, has helped foreign de-
mand. for it opened business in the
Far East and both Danish and Siberi-
an butter, on which London depended,
found a more profitable market there.
Hence L,ondoners now use more Amer
lean butter and this keeps the market
from the usual summer decline. EGGS,
on the other hand, are dropping under
the hot weather and large receipts,
and the amount going into cold storage
has been estimated at 10000 cases a
week. each case containing 80 dozen
and thus making an enormous aggre-
gate.

last Saturday, awarded the con
tract for building the new court
house without taking any action
as to changing the site. We re-
gard this as great mistake, and
deplorable because it is now ire
mediable. The journal has
thought all along that the court
would do nothing towards chang
ing the site, and in agitating this
matter we did so to show the court
the public sentiment upon it. We
have no further suggestions to
make in this connection, except
that the court should SO alter the

The St. Louis Republic, COM

Massachusetts," says the Repub-

on lumber, on coal, on hides, on
wool and on all the raw materials
used in Massachusetts, factories.
Massachusetts wants everything to
come in free except such things
as are manufactured in Massachu-
setts." There you have the whole
revision programe in nutshell.
1t does not rise above the petty
selhshness that would sacrifice the
general welfare of the country to
promote the success of local in
terests. General Hancock when
he was running for president on
the Democratic ticket way back
Wonder must have tariff REVISION
in mind when he said that the tar

publican party has the tariff prob

principle, that it shall be general
ly and not locally projections; that
one section of the country may not
prosper at the expense of another
section. Republican New England
would like free cotton, the Dem
ocratic South says, nay; you shall
not ruin US that you alone may
profit. We could print too num-
