The American sailors trousers are

They are, in fact. a marine institu-

Jack carries his worldly possessions

brand.
Ask any sailorman you chance to
meet in the Bowery and he will tell
you that the wide-legged trousers

An Anarchist Community.

There is an anarchist community In
Belgium near Brussels which has
managed TO endure for four years on
cooperative basis. u was begun by
Emile Chapelier.
The community has for it's motto,
Neither God nor law; every mem
Der is supposed to be the sole Judge
OF his own conduct. No one has any
thing he can call his "own," not even
his wife or children. Love Is recog-
nized, but 1t is the platonic and imper-
sonal love Sf brotherhood"
/. Chapeller does not preach violence
for the present. he has no doubt that
some day society will forcibly expro-
pirate all private property for its
common benefit, but thinks that II
will take years OF propagandism be-
fore this will come about. The name
OF his colony is Experience, and his
object is TO prove to the world that
anarchists are not as bad as they
are painted and that they have Meth

r HE rural free delivery service of
the United States means the dis
tribution of nearly 100000 letters and

tory from Maine to Alaska. A force
OF 41,0O0 carriers daily go over the
routes assigned to them, says a writer

Bringing the mail to the farmer now
costs the nation $36,OOO,OOO a year in

examining new routes, maintaining
postoffices, payments of inspectors,

changes in routes and carriers, where
deemed necessary, to establish new
routes and to record and tabulate
statistics and data for the postmaster

relative to rural delivery must pass.
Every one of the half-million and

chanical system which saves the labor
OF a hundred copying clerks even
where the hand copying press or the
carbon method has been employed. A

handling and copying mail they keep

letters daily received which must be
returned to the postomce where they

What the service does in receiving
applications for new routes, petitions
for carriers, decisions of the depart
ment, the payments and receipts, is
told by the postoffice newspaper.
The esprit de corps of the rural free
