MARINE RURAL FREE DELIVERY
IN NEW HAMPSHIRE.
Cottager9 Along Lakes Brought Into
Closer Touch with Outside World
During Summer Months
Growth of Service.

LaConia, n. H.-"Marine free rural
delivery route No. 8" has no counter
part within the limits of the United
States. 1t was inaugurated June /.
In unofficial parlance, it is the free
delivery of mail service on Lake Win
nipiseogee.
Instead of the Postman's ring or
knock cottagers for over a distance
Of 80 miles between the SOuthcry end
of Lage Paugus, at Lakeport, and
Wolfeboro, at the other end of the
lake, hear each morning the shrill
blast Of the mail steamer. An am
rhbious mail carrier winds in and
out of the regular pathway q the
passenger steamers and delivers all
classes of mail matter practically at
the doors of the thousands of cot
tagers who make their homes during
the summer months in this region.
1t is city delivery transferred to
the country, and on water instead ri
overland. Its establishment has
brol ght every camp and cottage along
the shore and upon the many Islands
in close touch with the outside world.
A double daily service now makes II
possible for the Boston business man
in his island camp ten miles or more
down the lake to receive his office
mail in the early forenoon and have
his replies back in the Boston post
office before nine o'clock the same
evening.
For this service the only require
ments demanded by the post office
department are that the owners or
occupants of the cottages and camps
shall provide suitable landing places
for the busy little steamers engaged
in the mail delivery. Upon these
landings are erected suitable letter
boxes of a design furnished by the
department. and they are so placed as
to be available for the carrier with
out putting him to undue delay.
This service consists of daily de-
livery from May Is to October 49,
except during July and August. when
two deliveries daily will be made to
the greater portions of the landings
Registered letters, too. are received
and delivered by the carriers, who are
also captains of the boats upon which
they make their trips. Money orders
are as available as at the regular
money order Offices.

No. g. is not the result of a days or

the part of the post office department.

CAR AND SPIRITUALISM.


The Berlin Tageblatt contains

wherein 1t asserts that 1.-THE round

The correspondent adds that SO COM

mysticists and takers in spiritualism
that the affairs OF the realm are really
administered through mediumship.
The emperor and the imperial fam
lily are now on board the imperial
yacht Standard cruising in the Finnish
seas, and the allegation is made that
medium has accompanied the party
and that seances at sea are part OF
the program of the emperor's outing.
The emperor's leaning to spiritual
ism is no new thing. 1t has been known
and commented on for years. During
the last few months, however, that
which was a fad has become suprem-
acy.
