Immediately took up and gave three

room to room until their father could
stand the noise no longer, and, losing
all patience, he rushed from his study

they demonstrated, but to no avail.
All but one finally went upstairs sob

who positively refused to bulge an

tered a slight corporal punishment. and
she dolefully followed her companions.
Soon afterward his wife broke in OIL the
professors now undisturbed studies.
and her first question was, Where are
the children?"
He was forced to tell of their de-
pravity, and She ran upstairs.
Presently she returned in great ex-
element and cried out to her husband
Il think you must be crazy! /
thought there must be something
wrong when you told me you had to
whip one of the children for disobedi-
ence. Now, do you know what you

SIGNS FOR COUNTRY POST.
OEEIcES

1t is an instance of the care taken
by the postoffice department to pro-
mote the comfort and convenience of
the public that orders have just been
issued requiring display of signs on
country postoffices showing the name
of the place where each respective
office is situated An order upon this
subject is printed in the October sup
plement of the official Postal Guide,
After reciting the fact that the atten-
ton of the depar iment had frequently
been directed to the advantage which
would accrue to the travelling public
from the erection at each postoffice of
suitable exterior sign bearing, with
the word 'postoffice," the name of the
town or village in which the office is
located, this order proceeds to say
that the department intends to insist
hereafter on the display of signs of
this character on all office quarters
leased by the government.
In the meanwhile all postmasters
are invited to cooperate with the
government in the application of this
plan for informing the travelling pub
lie of the names of the town and vii
lagos in which postoffices are situated.
The order recites the circumstance
that there is no appropriation avail
able from which the cost of signs at
third and fourth class postoffices could
be betrayed but it deems the matter
of sufficient Importance to justify the
recommendation that a suitable sign
of the kind described shall be pro-
vided for the convenience of the pub
lie at the postmaster's own expense.
1t closes by directing that in cases
where tie name of the office and the
name of the town differ the sign
should indicate the circumstance
The chances that the order which has
been recited will be generally OBJ
served have been increased by the is
suance under the signature of Chief
Inspector F. E. Mcmillan, of circu-
lar wherein the postoffice inspectors
all over the country are instructed to
see that the wishes of the department
in this conn ection are duly complied
with
