Rural Delivery Notes

CT the :i1.:9T ru:Y;! trcr delivery
routes maimtained BY the poStollice de
partment of the United States 255 are
regularly seryel by women carriers.
and there are four times that many fe
male substitute carriers.
Congressman Lloyd of Missouri was
advised recently that complete country
rural delivery service has been ordered
established in Adair county. Mo-. effec-
tive Jan. =. 1905. The total number of
routes in the county is twcnty-one, of
which three routes are new.
Postmaster General Meyer was the
I, incipal guest and speaker at the re-
I mt annual outing to Marblehead,
Mass. of the Essex Republican club.
He said that one of his recOmmenda-
tiOnS to the next congress would be Il
bill to establish Il parcels post. He
also indicated his intention to extend
the rural delivery system. which he
said was doing more than anything
else to relieve the isolation of farmers
Snd others living in remote country
districts ana thus incidentally was
Ii'ratly checking insanty IN these dis
trictS.
The rural free delivery system has
caused us no end of extra work" said
The publisher of IL trace Journal that
has Il large country circulation. "Prob-
ably not even the postal authorities
realize so clearly as the man who has
heavy country correspondence how rap
idly the rural free delivery system has
grown in the last two years. The
books containing the address of our
country correspondents and subscrib-
erS have had to he entirely OvCrhauled.
Scores of little pOsto4ccS have literally
)cen wiped off the list. and John Smith
and hundreds of other men who for
mcrly hal their mail addressed to their
home village are nnW on route No. .. 3

sized town."

Practical Wives.

The wives of men of sentiment often
possess a vein of strong common sense
and matter of fact nature which may
at times serve to bring their poetical
husbands down from their flights Of
fancy rather rudely.
Jean Paul represents Siebenkas as
reading one of his beautiful fancies to
his wife, who listened with eyes cast
down, apparently absorbed in his
words. AS he finished and waited for
her appreciation to express itself she
said quickly;
Don't put on those stockings tomor-
row, dear. | must mend that hole in
the left one"
One day, when Sir Walter and Lady
Scott were roaming about their estate,
they saw some playful lambs in a
meadow.
"Ah," said Sir Walter, "'tis no Won
der that poets from the earliest ages
have made the lamb the emblem of
peace and innocencew
"They are indeed delightful animals" +"
said Lady Scott, particularly with
mint sauce"

ROAD PHILOSOPHY.
Observations by Horat;o Eere, Mich
ican's Highway Commissioner.

Observations by Horat'o ESrle, Mich
ican's Highway Commissioner.
State Highway Commissioner Uora-
ito Earle of Michigan has issued the
following good roads philosophy, say:
the Motor News:
"Why don't farmers keep farrow
cows: Because farrow COWS eat as
much us new milk cows and "Irr only
about onc-half as much milk.
"What are new milk COWS? Dcvcl-
opcd farroW COWS.
"If farrow cows can he developed
into new milk cows. why not go
ahead with the development and de
velop new milk COWS with uddcrS
twice rs large as common new milk
COWS have? Because nothing would
he gained if ii were possible to do it.
because the Uddcr is not the producer
of the milk. but simply the receptacle
in which the milk is deposited. which
is produced by the developed COW.
''In order to get more milk the whole
COW must be developed
~ county with poor roads in the
country and poor streets in the villages
and cities reminds me of Il farrow COW.
"a county with good roads in the
country and good streets in the vii
lagos reminds me of fully developed
new milk COW.
"If it is impossible to get the whole
country under the county road law
thea atopt the good roads district syS-
tenn. which is the county road law on
small scale, permitting certain town
sips. villages and cities to operate
;.I.der the county road system without
taking in the whole county.
The villages and cities then help
to build the leading roads into the mar
kct ccnterS. and these roads develop
the country districts. which in turn
lodge more milk and more regularity
in the village and city udAcrS.
Yet there are men that cannot see
that this is Il benefit To either. | know

ANOTHER NATURE FAKIR.
Story of Jim Hance and the Grand
Canyon of Arizona.


Here is another story of jim TIancc
and the Grand Canyon of Arizona:
When tourists are thick Jim rides
over to the hotels and talks to them.
He has marvellous tales to tell. one
day he was standing 10y the top of the
Bright Angel trail with a few pieces
of meat in his hand.
What are you going to do with that
meat Mr.. IIancc?" asked Il pert tour
list lady from Boston.
"Nhy. I'm goin down to feed my
pet fish with it."
Your pet fish? Have YOU a pet fish?
Oh tell me about it,
''Waal," said Jim. "it WAS this way:
One time some years ago | was fishin'
down there in the canyon in the Colo
RADIO river. | wasn't havn' much luck,
but all of a sudden | seen Il commUtion

Qr9QS OF messages are now
being sent across the ocean every day,
and the two hemispheres have by this
great scientific achievement been
brought in much closer contact. Com
munication being so much easier and
less expensive, distance is annihilated.
The stations from which messages are
sent and at which they are received
are at Glace Bay, on the coast of Cape
Breton, y. s., and Clifden, on the coast
of Ireland. The station at South Well
fleet, Cape Cod Mass, is to be re
fitted and equipped with the improved
apparatus for receiving ana sending
messages which has proved so sue
coast of Cape Breton ut Glace Bay is
not distinguished bs amy marked ele-
vation. The site of the station is Il
slight promontOry not more than sew
enty feet above the sea level. There
are twcnty-four pine mastS $50 feet
high arranged in Il circle of 5000 feet
in diameter. The mAstS are wired and
connected with the four towers form
ing the center of the circle The tow
cfS are WOOutl, -l,I IttC nlSn, anu sur
mounted by maStS fifty feet in height.
The main purpose Of the towers is
to support a great number of wires
suspended in the air, and about fifty
of these pass up from the operating
room in the station to cross wires be-
tween the towers. Thi; multiplication
of wires is meant to ontaiI Il more
powerful accumulation of electric en-
ergy. for upon this depends the dis
tHncc to which the message may be
sent. The electric current is generated
by alternators, and the tension is in
creased by use of transformers. The
discharge of the accumulated current
produces in the ether the electric
waves which make the recording i'm

receiving stations.
Owing to the high potential of the
current there is Il flash of light when
the operator presses the key to send a
message across the ocean. and with it
