Mail Box at the Door.

One of the suggestions of the post master general for economizing in his department is that the people put up little boxes or other receptacleS at their front doors, so that the postman will not have to stand and wait until somebody answers the bell. great deal of time is wasted by the postman having to wait. It is in the interest of an efficient and economic service to provide these little conveniences. And then they are not only conveniences for the postman; they are also for the people of the house.
 There is the mail man." says the housekeeper, with her hands in the dish-water or mixing the dough for the family bread-"run, Johnny, to the door," and Johnny is down in the back yard trying to lasso a black cat, but by this time the mail man. thinking no one is at home. goes with the expected let ter from Mary who is visiting over in Chicago and so the family is deprived of the pleasure for several hours, simp- ly for the lack of a neat little letter box at the front door.-Ohio State Journal

HELD FOR INFANTIcIpE.
SybiI Parker Taken to Brooklyn JaiI- Bound Over to Next Term of Supe- rior Court.

Sybil Parker (coiored), aged 24, pleaded guilty to murder in the first degree Wednesday morning in police court, when she was arraigned before Judge William A. Arnold. Judge Arr mold would not accept her plea and in order to protect her rights he entered a plea of not guilty and called on the state to produce it's evidence.
 George H. Patenaude, who lives at 452 Pleasant street. testified that the accused had worked for him at his house for four weeks, coming there on the 12th of November. when his wife returned from the hospital, and left Dec 3. She was at his house on Nov. 27 the day on which she was charged with having murdered her new born child. He then related the circum- stances of the finding of the body of the dead infant while he was raking up his cellar Monday afternoon. When further questioned witness stated that neither he nor his wife was aware that the colored woman was in family way Accused had attended assidu- ously to all her work. not missing single day
 Capt. E. H. Richmond testified to having gone to the Patenaude house when MT. Patenaude told him that there was something there that did not look right and then told of the finding of the body with an apron string tied around it's neck. He tele- phoned pr. Louis I. Mason, the medi- cal examiner. and the latter went to the house and the body was turned over to him. The medical examiner turned over to witness a shirt, waist and apron that were covered with blood. and knowing that Mrs Parker had been working at the house went in search of her and found her work ing at George F. Gifford's on Summit street. The captain took her to police headquarters.
 Medical Examiner Mason was called and testified to the finding of the body in a scooped up depression in the cellar bottom and that the child was wrap ped in bloody rags and had an apron string tied about it's neck. He told of the findings at the autopsy and that a strip of cloth had cut into the flesh of the child's neck. Both apron string and cord strip of cloth were either sufficient to have caused strangulation. The child was one of both coiored and white blood. He said that it was inn possible to state how long the child had been dead, but the body was in a good state of preservation
 No further evidence was submitted by the state and Judge Arnoldasked the accused if there was anything that she desired to say. She started in to tell that she was unable to care for the child and that was the reason for her act, but the judge stopped her and told her that in order that her rights might be protected she had better wait until before a higher court and then make her statement. as at such time she would be provided with counsel by the

The common Cold.

It has probably occurred to innum- erable sufferers from what is generally known as the common cold" that lt is about time for medical science, which has coped successfully with much more serious problems in disease, to abate a distressing malady which has been aptly designated "the scourge of the north" In every household there is a favorite remedy, but, as a matter of fact, no effectual cure is known.
 In recent issue of The British Med ical Journal it is pointed out that the disease is not one, but many, it's symp- toms being due to various germs.
 The widespread belief in cold baths and the process called hardening is rejected. Even the hope held out sometime ago by Dr. Benham in his report to the British Medical associa- Q ton, that a vaccine may cut short an attack or make it tolerable, is not re- ceived with favor because the microbe of the common cold is not always the same; hence it would be necessary first to discover the identity of the particular bug or use a mixed vaccine.

Brilliant Social Event Under Auspices
 of Garde FIorimond.

The fourth annual military ball given under the auspices of Garde Florimond in town hall Wednesday evening was the most elaborate event undertaken by the local guard. and was a great success in every way.
 The hall was effectively decorated by P. D. Donahue with large American flags. The general color scheme was green and white-
 At & o'clock there was an inspection of Garde FIorimond by General J. B. Iariviere of Fitchburg, Mass, who IS at the head of the Franco-Amer1can brigade for New England. The crack garde executed many fine manoeuvres and passed an excellent inspection Many compliments were rendered the officers and members for their fine showing and the applause from the well filled gallery was liberal.
 At S.30 o'clock the grand march started with more than a hundred couples in line. It was led by Mir and Mrs. Pierre Laramie, followed by Gen J. B. Larfviere and lady and Brig. Gen. and Mrs. J. B. Paulhus.
 There were four boxes in the hall, one at each corner; they were occu- pied by Brig. Gen. J. B. Paulhus and wife. First Sergt. Aime Martineau and wife, G. o.

Old Aae Pensions.

The expected has happened. A bill for old-age pensions has been intro duced in the house of representatives. The introducer is William Bauchop Wilson of Blossburg, Pa, former coal miner, former international secretary of the United Mineworkers of America, who now makes living for his ten children on a farm, when he is not lucky enough to be drawing a repre- sentative's salary. The provisions of the bill give $120 a year to each man or woman over the age of 65 who has neither property worth $1,500 nor an income of over $240 a year.
 Modesty is to be expected of an en- tering wedge. But Wilson's measure is too modest by half. This is a rich country. How can it expect a person over 65 years old to live comfortably on $120 a year? If the old-age pension in each case were fixed at, say $5,000 a year, more money would be put in circulation and anyone would have Q motive for seeking longevity. Nobody would be silly enough to nurse thrift or to pursue industry any farther than would be needed to keep life going till the age of 65 should be reached. For that matter why not make the age 40? This is an era of humanitarian experi- enthusiastically Eagle.
