MEYER ON PARCEL POST

Postmaster General Meyer de- livered notable speech. recently. in Chicago on the parcels post.
 He was startled to know that Chicago was he center of the fight against the parcels post. He was disappointed to find that with Chicago as a distributing point, th' nails were being flooded with literature inspired by influences hostile to this public lmprovemt
 Postmaster General Meyer does not propose the establishment of parcels post. We already have ,ne He proposes it's extension.
 "If anyone of you here in Chica- yo," he said, 'goes to the postoffice with two parcels of four pounds each, one addressed to New York and one to foreign country, the rate on the one to New York will be 16 cents pound, or GA cents. while on the one to the foreign country the rate will be 12 cents a pound or AS cents."
 That doesn't seem sensible does it2
 The speaker explained that g rate of 12 cents a pound was the ate already adopted by thirty tive ;oreign coutries He also said that he proposed reduction offour cent pound would probably result in decrease in the express rates to many points, but added that h. bought tkat could hardly be called disadvantage to the people.
 And the retail merchant or stCrekeeper," he said, must re member that 1 shall recommend 9 parcels post system on the rural delivery routes, with a special rate for packages originating on a rura route for delivery on the same route. This will be five cents for the first pound and two cents for -ach additional pound. This will be a great boon to the farmer. II will also facilitate consumption ! and increase the trade of the coun- try merchant. It will also increase trade between the retail and whole | sale merchant. As a matter of l fact, all will be benefited"
 You see, all that is needed is 9 little enlightenment.

is the philosophical way in which the

THE MONUMENT TO SHELLEY.
u Will Stand on the Shore of the
Gulf Of Spezzia, Italy.

A colossal monument to Percy
bysshe Shelley, the poet, is shortly to
De erected near San Terence. Italy,
where he passed the last Of his life.
Inc entire design is to be about As
ieet high, and it is to be attached to
CHI facing the Sasa Magni, In which
ne and later Byron lived, says the
New York Sun.
Inc work is being executed by the
Italian sculptor Fontana The key
note is taken from Sheney's tragedy
"Prometheus Unbound" 1t displays
the figure Of the Titan writing on the
rock with the lightning which, like
Jupiter, he grasps in his hand, this in
scrlption: TO Shelley from the World
Unbound"
Shelleys heart, snatched from his
funeral pyre by Trelawny, is buried
IN the Protestant cemetery at Rome.
OF which he wrote: 1T might make
one in love with death to think that
1t would make one In love with go
sweet place" But the character
Oh the place and the SURROUNDINGS
made 1t undesirable to locate any
great monument there. At Viarexyio
where his body came ashore on July
49, lS22-ten days after he was
drowned on his way from Leghorn
10 san Terenzo-and where 1t was
burned while Leigh Hunt poured wine
and incense on it and Lord Byron
read poetry there is already a Shelley
monument and besides, the fiat coast
anords no opportunity for Fontana's
design The shore of the gulf of
Spezzia and the neighborhood of his
last abiding place were therefore
CHOSEN for this greatest tribute to his
memory.
