The Deficit.

The deficit of the postal service il

cal year at 316,s1O,27s. Here is how
Postmaster General Meyer proposes to
meet and overcome the deficit:
''There are now in operation more
than $4,000 rural routes, serving a
population OF about 1S ,OOO, 900 persons,
and should an average OF 55 pounds of
merchandise.tbe carried by the rural
carrier each trip throughout the
year, it is estimated that $15, ,OOO, 900
would be realized. The rate would be s
cents for the first pound and cents
for each additional pound, up to IL
pounds, the maximum weight"
Mr.. Meyer proposes to limit the par
cells post at present to rural delivery
routes. This would help the farmers
and would not seriously affect the bus
iness of the express companies.
The subject is to be brought up in

distinction lies in the handle, which is
removable and Of silver, being rather
high and very slender in design. With
this Is two-tined fork that serves as
a spear.
Ina the same line, but a trihe more
elaborate, are sets OF jars designed for
holding the juice of lemon and rum.
When these are used the fruit instead
of being sliced is squeezed and is poured
into the tea cup. The little pitchers
are made Of opalescent glass. as well
as OF rock crystal and have silver lbs
and handles. They can be made TO or
der 10 match the proclaim OF the tea
set.
a novelty that is pretty as well as ex-
JremeIy useful Is a long handled silver
CXtinguisher. This. instead OF being cup
Ike, is more like a teaspoon, the same
shape at each end.
The stem or handle measures twelve
inches In length and is thin and deli

a new shape, almost any design being
preferred TO those which are round In
oCtagOn and squares they are most ire
quently made, and are either most eiah-

BY all means the favorite style OF
