MOROccO'S POSTAL SYSTEM.

AZ Is Conducted by several EupOpean
Nations on Their own Hook.
Since the sultan of Morocco, he O;
the euphonious name, provides neithei
postoffices nor postage stamps nor post
men, certain foreign powers having
dealings with Morocco decided not long
since to establish their own rural and
International service. Thus, along the
Little Socco," the boulevard of Tan
gier, may be read the following signs /:
British Postoffice," "Poste Franchise
and "Correo Espanol" Now another
sign has been put up. 1t bears at the
top an emblazOned black Prussian
eagle. and reads, 'Deutsche Reichs-
post"
Verify the flag follows the stamp"
writes NJ. Mennevee in the Echo dc la
Hydrologic, ana he draws attention to
the curious fact that this latest conner
has created special staff for dealing
with the postal service in Morocco,
while France has seen fit TO leave its
service in the hands of its consular Off
cials. The amount of business trans
acted at the German postoffice In the
Little Socco" is said to be unprece-
denied in Tangier. For ten years the
French postoffice disposed of ], 125, 800
letters, while the German postofiice,
although its career has been brief, has
speeded to their destination no less
than 727,S00 letters. In the light Of
bis patriotism If not in that of the
above figures, NJ. Mennevee is astonish-
I'd that the French authorities should
have allowed another nation, with GER
tainly comparatively small local inter-
ests of every kind, to have gained ssch
4 strong foothold in Morocco.

To Girls About to Marry.

The chances of a girl making a good
wife depend entirely upon herself. 1t
takes force of character to love deeply
and to be worthy of deep love. What
ever the amount of love meted out to a
good husband, he will return it with
just equal zeal. and will study his
wife's interest with the greatest care
and thought
Those of us who, by force of circum-
stance, are obliged to work for our liv-
ing, have brains enough to appreciate
good man and a pretty home when
such delightful links of happiness come
our way. Money gained by the toll of
our hands is splendid thing; it is eX-
cellent training in any way. A hard
earned salary is a delight, especially
if by the making of it we help to keep
others as well as ourselves. We were
not put into this world to drift. We
are here to work-to fill the appointed
places which have been allotted us.
Work is part of our portion here,
part of the Divine scheme. When we
think about marrying We must not give
up work Just because we shall expect
our dear chosen partner to keep the
little home together
The girl who really loves, and has
had to scrape together hard-earned
wages, Will appreciate the joy and
beauty of a quiet, calm, domestic life.
When she sees the image of her own
bright young beauty growing up around
her, hears the patterlrg of little feet
and the sweet childish voices, she will
be thankful she once worked for her
own living. which gave her so excel
lent a training for being a wife and a
mother

Paper Clothing md Carpets

Dear Lady Mabel cannot hear
that your wedding day should go by

of regard from your husbands old

good wishes for Rorie's wife? Yours,

"Why, they are actually from your
old playfellow," cried Mabel, with a
laugh that had not quite a genuine
ring in its mirth. "She has behaved
very sweetly in sending me such a
pretty letter, and when she is at home

The little party dispersed soon after

Mabel and Lord Mallow sat in the con.

pauses of silence in their talk. Never

To Clean Coat Collars.

Apply turpentine to the soiled places
letting the fluid dry, and apply more
several times; then gently scrape of
the loosened dirt.
Wet again with turpentine and
scrape, repeating this until all spots
have been removed.
Then sponge with a clean cloth and
turpentine, or, better still, alcohol or
chloroform and wipe dry.
