PAY IN ADVANCE

A ruling has just been made by
the postofice department at Washing
ton that will compel readers of daily
papers to pay their subscription in
advance.
The rule says that a reasonable time
will be allowed publishers to secure
renewals of subscriptions, but that in
case of subscriptions to dailies which
are not renewed within three months,
the privilege of the second class rate
will not be allowed. Such papers
may be mailed only at the rate of 1
cent for four ounces and must be
stamped.
Under this ruling publishers of all
daily papers will be compelled to
adopt paid-in-advance policy, as it
will not be practicable at present
prices either to send out the papers
at the rate of 1 cent for four ounces
which has been fixed by the postof-
flee department, or to go to the ex-
pense of affixing stamps to papers
which are not allowed the second
class rate.

as follows:
Rev. John Hickey, of Rochester, n.
Y, Ven. Brother Lucas, our dragoman
and myself left Jerusalem May q,
going east by the Jericho road, which
winds about through successive wadys,
the largest of which is the Wady-el-
Kelt, which opens into the Jordan
valley. The beds of the wadys are
dry and pebbly. The fields of grain,
which were on the wadys and Oh the
lower slopes of the mountains, were
ripe. The upper portions of hte noun
tains are barren.
The strata of the mountain sides are
wavy, showing the commissions, which
have here agitated nature. We first
came to Bethany. Here we visited the
grave of Lazarus. After leaving
Bethany no other village appears un-
til we reach Jericho. At noon we
came to the Kahn Hadrur, placed by
tradition on the site of the inn of
the Good Samaritan. Up on the hill
side is a ruin called Tel-at-ed-Dam
tHill of the Blood, SO called from the
redness of the stones.
We rested a half hour at the Kahn

grows weary of gazing at the desert

At z p. m. We left the main road
and by {, zigzag path to the left we
descended into deep gorge in the
Wady-el-Kelt. This is believed by
some to he the torrent Cherith, where
Elijah sojourned Whether this ira

know. The gorge is deep and Il cop

its bed Some ruins of the ancient
aqueduct of Herod the Great are here
found.
The holes in the rocks were former
" inhabited by bermits. There is a
Greek monastery here built high up
i'll the rocks. 1t is built into d ledge
of the rocks and the monks live in
the holes of the rocks, climbing by
ladders and through Sits in the rocks,
to their respective cells. The church
is unimportant. The austerity of
these monks and those of the Mar
Saba is directed to move the pilgrims
who come thither to give aims.
From here we rode eastward along
a ledge on the north slope of the deep
gorge. After a slow march of twenty
minutes We came to other cells of
monks in the holes of the rocks of
the mountains.
At 3 p. m. we obtained the first
view of the plain of the Jordan. At
p. m. we entered it. The plain at
the base of the mountains is barren,
rocky waste with scanty wild grass.
There are no dwellers. We turned
northeast and passed the mountain
called Jebel Karantel, the mount of
the Forty Days Fast of Our Lord.
Riding on, in half hour We CAME to
the Fountain of Elisha. 1t is an
abundant source of potable water.
The water flows into reservoir and
thece is conducted by several channels
into the plain, where it is used for
the purposes of irrigation.

the recent dissolution of the Seating

parently taking a leaf from the his

pany, the dissolved Paper trust
seems to have survived the busting"

on the whole, valuable work has been

tant among the reforms which have
followed from this and other efforts
in the same direction, is the practical

praised, the nationwide sentiment for
efficaciOus reform, in which all these
efforts have their origin, is the main
thing to be borne in mind. The great
force of public opinion, aroused by
revelations of corporate cupidity and
the looting of the people by individu-

A new envelope made in Paris is

The new envelope is really two en-
velopes. Each is Of thin paper, one
pronounced blue, the other lighter in
color and different In texture. Each
has glfnmed flap.
The letter is first placed in the blue
envelope, which is slightly smaller
than the other. Instead of sealing this

the inner flap brought outside and
gummed down on to the larger en-
velope.
The outer flap is still unsealed. II

The letter is thus practically locked
