Aggregate of stss, 100000 in Revenue

nues collected through the postoftices
during the fiscal year 1906 amounted
to ABOUT $16S,000,000, a gain of more
than SIS 900, 900, and the report states
that this growth was continued In
1907, when the aggregate was $780,
600 000 In order to meet this contin-
uous growth of his bureau Mr.. Hitch
cock makes an appeal for larger ap-
preparations.
The present policy of reappointing
presidential postmasters who have

Llon of the public and of the depart
ment has resulted in decided benefit
to the service" says Mr.. Hitchcock.
He adds that about IS per cent of the

Every citizen should know what
corporation like the Metropolitan
costs the average man. In Great
American Fortunes" in McClure's.
Burton j. Hendrick sums up the case
very clearly. Professional jurymen
hired to defeat the law childrens
signatures bought for a nickel for
what purported to be popular pc
tition to the Legislature; the public
literally bought and sold at every
turn--those are facts which Mr.. Hen
drick brings to light
Probably no street railway capi-
talists ever had so rich an opportunity
for legitimate profit. The income
from nickel fares amounts to s37,.
100000 year. In spite of this. the
whole Metropolitan system Is in a
condition of deplorable decay The
story of the road, and the enormous
fortunes which have been made by
its exploitation. is clearly written in
its physical dilapidation Crazy We.
hicles, with machinery so out of Joint
that its rattling can be heard blocks
away. are running upon the most pre-
tentious thoroughfares. Their filthy
condition renders them a constant
menace to the public health. The
quality of the employees. according to
a statement recently made by Oren
Root, the Metropolitan's general
manager, is constantly deteriorating
the men are so poorly paid that only
those desperately In need of work
join the Metropolitan force.
The surface cars are not provided
with the most ordinary safety de-
vices. New York is the only large
city in the country where the old.
fashioned mandrake is still in use.
The Third avenue road, before the
Metropolitan acquired it, used power
brakes on all its cars; the first act
of the Metropolitan, when It assumed
control, was to remove these safety
appliances, and the explanation usu.
ally accepted is that the management
feared that the successful use OF
power brakes on one railroad would
cause the public to demand that the
reform be extended to all the lines.
This failure to use proper safety ap.
pliances and the inexperience of the
employees makes the casualty list a
heavy one. An investigation recently
made showed that in twenty-seven
days there had been $500 accidents
on the street railways of New York
City; forty-two people were killed
outright, ten skulls were fractured,
ten limbs. amputated, forty-four
limbs broken, while eighty-three
other passengers were seriously in.
jured. In proportion to the traffic,
the New York street railways killed
eight times as many people as those
in Liverpool. Their record is SUR
passed only by the Widener-Elk
roads in Philadelphia, which killed
sol passengers last year AS re-
suit of its accidents, the Metropolitan
spends annually nearly million and
half dollars in damage suits"

From Doubt to Devotion-(John I.
45.51; 20. 24-2s.)
John I. 1851. Life was harder for
Nathaniel than it is for some men.
He had a sensitive nature, and high
ideals. And he also had an alert,
critical habit of mind The very
eagerness and fineness Of his inner
life, in combination with the keen.
ness and candor with which he look.
ed upon the ugly facts of the world
about him, tended to make Nathanael
not only critical, but even to give
him touch Of cynicism. But such
cynicism as his, is the pain of an
eager tender nature, beating Its
wings against the hard and cruel
things of life. His skeptieism was
the skepticism of one in whom lofty
hopes fight with the disillusioning
facts of experience. When he heard
of Jesus his first impulse was the as.
sertion OF this critical. skeptical habit
OF mind. But he was in earnest. He
was willing to investigate. And he
was willing to be convinced SO he
came to Jesus. The Masters first
word was a recognition of the inner
nobility OF Nathanael's life. "Be
hold" he cried. "an Israelite indeed
in whom is no guile" Then he
showed the doubter that he knew not
only his heart but the very external
facts of his life. And Nathanaels
overwhelmed by such spiritual pene
tration and miraculous knowledge,
and touched as much by the sense OF
trustworthiness which he felt in the
presence of Christ, cast doubt to the
winds, found the greatest words he
knew, and called Jesus the Son OF
God, and the King of Israel.
John 20. 24-29. Thomas was the
victim of slow moving mind and a
gloomy temperament. Then he was

things. What he could see and touch
meant more to him than what he
could think. II is not very high

Thomas was real and loyal. If slow
